K. Of P. Meeting.

70 The knights OF Pythias met here Last week
and transacted busin ess for this District.
The meeting was most pleasant 10 the
Knights and friends of Abbegille and we be-
lieve the visitors enjoyed the occasion too.
The exercises held In the Court House were
opened by Rev. Mr.. Gregg, pastor OF Upper
Long Cane. The Knishts were welcomed by
J. M. NickleS, Esq, Chancellor Commander
Of Abbeville Lodge No. "a. The address Of
welcome was responded to heartily by Mr.,
w. D. Morrah. District Deputy Grand Chan
cellor. Mr.. Morrah's talk was made in an
earnest and Impressive manner, which bad
the ring Of sincerity to 1t and not 80 many
idle words. .
Splendid speeches were made by Gen. M.
Bonham of Anderson and Hon. M. L. Smith
of Sumter.
A banquet was spread the same night al
the Eureka. which all things good to eat
were had and all things good to drink except
spirits, IL being one Of the tenets OF the
Knights that no spirituous liquors shall be
used at any banquet prom ulgated by them.
We have had the District knights and we
want them again. We also want the Grand
Lodge now. Why may we not get ~

there is no good In waiting for one to com
along, or to be put into our Christmas stock
ing. Santa Claus has given out all the ready
made cotton mills, but capitalists every where
are ready TO help those who help themselves
If We raise a little earnest money. others vii

We have a dozen good men in Abbevillt
who are losing a good job by their inactivity
II any one OF those good business men who
have faith in themselves will come dow
with the necessary dust, their n~eighbori

this community is a going TO hand him the

to think that he will be disappointed.

On the Contrary.

To those who think Romanism sufficient
for The salvation OF those who profess H. or
who suppose that the spirit OF the Catholic
Bibles and "heretics" were burned, we COM
mend the following from q catechism recently
sspctioned by the Pope:
"Question: Ifa Christian should be onered,
q Bible by q Protestant, what should be do?
ANSWER: he should reject 1t with horror
and II he may have received 1t inadvertently
be should Immediately throw II Into the IRE.
or give 1t TO the parish priest.
what kind Of Christianity is that Which
looks on the Bible. the source OF Christian
truth with horror and burns It"
The above was among editorials In the
Associate Reformed PRESBYTERIAN oflast WeeK:
belief that the Catholic religion ID snmclent

Now, It Ia stated on good authority, ana ID

Lest any be misled by the last sentence IN
the article from the Presbyterian and belleve

q statement by James Cardinal Gibbons,
Archbishop OF Baltimore, who said:
"After his ordination every priest is obliged
in conscience to devote upwards OF an nour
each day to the perusal Of the Holy Word.
What is good for the clergy must be good. also
for the laity. Be assured that II you become
a Catholic you will never be forbidden 70

every word of the Gospel may be Impressed

Anderson and AbbeYiIle.

Some weeks ego the Press and Banner
called on Anderson and Greenwood to give
facts touching the Jug trade in their respect
i've owns.
Our esteemed neighbor, the Daily Mai, took
the trouble 10 make investigation at the e1.
press office, and give us the benefit Of his re-
search in one of his good tempered and well
expressed editorials.
The Press and Banner, wishing at all times
to be fair, copied this article which makes
rather q good showing for prohibition. II
appears from the editorial that the & trade
did not fall Off 80 much until both Georgia
and North Carolina went dry, and her the
Express agent thought ths was a falling
off of.something like Al per cent.
This paper will never question a statement
OF fact made by the Daily Mail, though e
know that the editor OF the Daily Mall Is mol
In touch with The drinking element OF hit
town and must get his Information touching
the consumption OF liquor, as the editor o.
the Press and Banner does, second hand.
Here are some facts that We would respect
fully call to his attentions: During the month
of April, there were 80 arrests for drunken
ness in the city Of Anderson, and up TO the
10th day of May there were II arrests there
During the month Of April, In AbbeVille
there were ID arrests for drunkenness, and
during the same ten days OF May there were
S arrests. II any man during this time hat
seen a drunkard staggering on the streets o
Abbeville, who did not land in the lock up
we would be glad TO hear oft.
Accepting the statement Of the Daily Mall
that the jug business has been decreased
what must be the quality OF stuff sold in An
derson that would cause something like three
arrests for drunkenness in that city to one In
Abbeville, during the month OF April?
II the jug business has been reduced In An
derson, the grape zine telegraph line between
that city and the dewy precincts OF the Blue
Ridge mountain must be a live wire.

Democratic Fooiishness.

The idea OF allowing a plank in the Denver
platform to prevent our Senators and Repre-
sentatives nom voting for beneficial tariff
measures for the South Is too preposterous tc
need respectful consideration. The good o.
the whole country is first to be considered
never forgetting the interests OF our OWL
people. Simply to fight blindly the tariff Is
foolish beyond measure. The tariff Is neces'
sary 10 raise MONEY with which to run the
government, and a tariff is necessary to pre-.
serve and foster our manufacturing interests
All this Pedagogical appeal to the prejudice
OF one set of people against another set should
go for naught. Democracy is good enough
when 1t Is right, and there may be Unequal
tiles and discrimination in the tariff, but 1t is
idle to cry out against the tarif as a whole,
Mend 1t, where II is wrong. Strengthen its
weakness. Perfect its justice to all. The
Dem ocratic party ought to be something else,
and something better than blind kickers.
