will miss today what you could
have had Yesterday. The pianos

AS soon as this sale closes the
prices on the new pianos viii re-

Chickering upright; $3.50, 500,

Vice in the Background - Virtue to the
EYnnf

DR.. I. W. Sloan in his last Sundays SER
mon declared that a concern on Main
Street, Greenville, sells a concoction Of
three parts whiskey and one part coca
cola at Is cents per glass. Is the Doctor
after the whiskey or the dope? Between
whiskey and ~coca-cola it is a toss up for
choice, and when the two are mixed into
one drink there is a broth equal to that Of
Macbeth's witches.
DR.. Sloan also saw two policemen enter
this joint and partake without paying for
the drinks, from which he argues collision.
Catching a man at mischief will not
cause him to turn from the error Of his
way. Fathers of children will do well
never to let the children know that they
have caught up" with them in mischief.
Let the parent continue to teach his child
the right and at the same time putimplicit
confidence in the child's integrity. If the
little fellows fingers show stains from
cigarettes, don't notice it, but preach
against the cigarette. II the parent lets
the child know he knows, why then the jig
is up and the only %recours is the rod,
which is not worth much unless its use Is
begun very early in life.
The fact that DR.. Sloan has seen these
policemen take their doped drink and has
announced it from the pulpit, is not likely
to help the cause of religion in Greenville.
1t smacks a little of the spy, and such a
role is not the proper thing in a preacher.
A minister of the Gospel is not supposed
to be out hunting for such things, and
should he find it accidentally it were better
not to see it.
Then, too, there is always room for
doubt-one may be mistaken. The ques-
ton arises, how did Dr.. Sloan know that
the connection was three-fourths whiskey
and one-fourth coca-cola? Did the Doctor
try it, or did he hear some one say so, or
did he draw on his imagination?
A pretty good rule Of action governing
the conduct Of ministers when they come
in contact with this kind Of thing is to be-
lieve nothing you hear and only half Of
what you see; take it for granted that
everybody is good and that everybody Is
honest until proven otherwise, and, even
then, let someone else do the proving.
Somebody's coca-cola joint will be we'll
advertised in Greenville this week.

Why. 0bsirust the Road

This paper does not pretend to under.
stand the purpose of the Attorney General
In interposing legal obstruction to the
completion Of the Carolina Glinehfeld and
Ohio rail road in this state, or to enterinto
the merits of the case from a legal stand
point. He may have all the law and the
prophets, too, for that matter, on his
side. None Of that is denied.
On the general principle that a railroad
developes and builds up the country
through which 1t passes, we cannot under
stand why objection should be made to
building any road, anywhere, at any time,
and especially if it's promoters are willing
themselves to pay for its construction.
We have always looked on railroads as OF
sufficient Importance to warrant a tax for
their construction on the communities
through which they pass. The Press and
Banners doctrine is to get the rail road
first, and session it afterwards; but in all
your getting, get railroads.
