SUBSCRIPTION RATES:
THERE WILL BE TWO WEEKS OF PRoHlBl
TON.

There seems, according to the
Columbia correspondent of the
News and Courier, to be an opln-
ion that the law requiring the
dispensaries to close down Tor
two weeks is weak. and that hq-
uor can be sold so long as it does
not produce intoxication.
The law is all right, because
the Carey -Cothran Act is still OF
force in such counties where dis
pensaries have not been voted
out. If the Carey-Cothran Act
providing for county dispensar-
les is good law then the new Act
repeating the operation OF the
Act in certain counties, is good
law, therefore the legislature or
ders the dispensaries in the wet
counties to shut up for two weeks
before the election, and while
they are closed, the Carey-Coth-
ran Act which is not repealed
says it is in violation OF law tor
alcoholic beverages to be sold.
The law forbids the sale OF any
compound or mixture thereof,
which contains alcohol. and is
used as a beverage, and which,
if drank to excess, will produce
1,.,,ol- This is rfectly plain,
it means what it says: that you
cannot sell anything containing
alcohol, that if used as bever-
age to excess will make drunk
come. This does not mean that
LIQUOR can be sold, and the seller
is not amenable to the law IN.
less the purchaser gets drunk,
but it means he cannot sell any
drunk making materials at all.
There are several features OF
the Carey-Cothran, and the new
Acts that we regard in conflict
with rights guaranteed to citizens
by tie fundamental law, but the
feature suspected that may give
trouble in August because OF dou-
bic construction that may be put
on it's meaning, is not it. 1t the
State has a right to pass a pro
hibition act at all. the closing
down feature, while we regard it
senseless. is good and will stand.

The Columbia Record deplor-
es the acceptance by Hon. r. l:
Manning of a life trusteeshlp Of
Clemson College. That news
paper seems to think it will
hamper him in his race for gov
vernon. But then, the COVER
norship is still a far cry, while
the life trusteeshlp is a sure
thing. Unless the prohibition
wave gets a severe jolt, it is our
judgment, that a Frohibitionlst
has the gubernatorial field, pre-
empted. But Mr.. Manning may
have become a convert to pro-
hibition; we know of other
gentlemen whose views on the
liquor question changed after
the State dispensary was killed.

The Chinese mission work in
New York has received a severe
Jolt by the finding of a young
woman mission worker among
the Chinese, murdered, and
packed in a trunk. The victim
has been identified as Miss Elsie
Sigel, a granddaughter of Gen
eral Franz Sigel Of Union army
fame. It was known that the
young woman and her mother
we're mission workers, and most
of their time was given to con-
verting Cinnamon to Christianity
The indications are that Elsie,
the murdered victim, had become
infatuated with a 'schink." and
in a fit of jealous madness he
murdered her. We have often
heard that many Of the missions,
especially Chinese missions, in
large cities have a special allure
ment for certain women VINO,
through a misconceived idea Of
religious duty enter the mission
ary service work, and in many
instances there results a horrify-
ing intimacy, this is so to an
alarming extent, until the sub
jects are of great police concern.
It has been told to US, that a
large amount Of the depravity IN
white women discovered il the
:'dope joints" in a Chinatown Of
any large city may be traced for
it's beginning to the Chinese mis-.
sions. The recent horrible muir
der is making New York ponder

The question asked by Senator
Tillman with regard to the prop
osition OF putting print paper on
the free list, would indicate his
vote on the item will be cast for
a protective tariff on this impor-
tant article. The senator never
loses an opportunity to pound the
newspapers, perhapsitis is because
these informing agencies have on
occasions pounded him, but he
should also consider how much
valuable free advertising he has
obtained through them which has
resulted splendidly from fnan-
cial point Of view.

i daughter OF the man who
was killed by Sellers: the Co.

a letter to the newspapers blam-
inc Governor Ansel for her
fathers death. It is a pity some
friend had not advised her
against writing such letter.
The deceased was in the employ
of the State as an officer, and it
was his business, and not the
governors, to see that he had
the proper authority before un-
dertaking the discharge of the
duties of that Office.

Converting the Heather Chinee7

The audable cause of converting the
heather to Christianity, especially the
Chinese, has received some pretty hard
jolts from the newspapers of the coun-
try since the murder of Elsie Sigel, a
young New York missionary, by the
Chinaman she was attempting to con-
vert With all respect to the cause of
missions we assert that the condemna-
tons have been none to severe. The
slant eyed Monaghan is the worst kind
of a heather and probably always will
be despite the time, effort and money
expended to bring him into the fold.
The Wilmington Times discusses the
matter thus:
Referring to the recent murder of
Elsie Sigel in New York by Chinaman
she was trying to convert, one is tempt
ed to ask whether the business of mis-
sions among the Chinese is worth while,
since the history of the movement
shows that the Chinaman is more
likely to convert the mission worker to
opium than the mission worker is to
convert the Chinaman to Christianity.
Or NODerl mart, lOI lHdly years Ill
charge of the Chinese customs, on be-
half of the British Government, and
probably better acquainted with China
and the Chinese than any other white
man. has made the frank statement
that, no matter what missionaries may
believe and say, not one Chinaman has
lever been really converted to Christ
ianity.
He contends that the sole object of
attending English-speaking schools is to
learn English and pick up foreign
methods, and that John Chinaman' S
pretense of conversion is pretense and
nothing more.
There are more white heather in New
York than all the Cinnamon missions
will ever convert, here or in China.
And such girls as Elsie Sigel can find
better Employment for their energies
among the children of the American
poor than among the almon-eyed devils
of the Chinese hells, infested by the
very worst of the underworld.

JOHN AND THE NEWSPAPERS.

John Harris of Washington in letter
to the Burlington Free Press, again
notifies Vermont newspapers to mind
their own business and not butt in with
a discussion of affairs taking place in
the rarefied congressional atmosphere
in which Harris moves. 1t is evident
that John, himself, in his self appointed
task of censoring and regulating all YER
mont editorial utterances on public
questions, is in fair way to become a
victim of the 'protracted and terrifi c
mental and nervous strain" which he
so pathetically describes. Landmark.
Did you know that John has been the
keeper and monitor of the Vermont
newspaper conscience ever since he
became indebted to the Vermont dele
cation in Congress for his bread and
butter?
Why disturb that relationship to the
newspapers of the state? While John
holds the key the members of the del
egation must feel at ease regarding
their duties to the state. The news
papers ought also to be at ease because
John can attend to the critical duties
Of his office and bestow or Withhold APP
prova of the work of his patrons as he
pleases. How nice ! Burlington News.

Didn't Know Il was Loade d /.

A practical joker with a sense of hu-
NOR, decidedly unworthy of Consul, the
trained chimpanzee, pointed loaded
revolver at the new hat Of his cousin in
New York recently. He thought it
WASH loaded, of course. The result
the cousin lies in a hospital critically
wounded with bullet through her
throat. The joker is grief-stricken, and
doubtless has learned his lesson, but at
what cost. The sad thing about these
reckless fool accidents is that some
one else always suffers from the foolish
ness of the smart Aleck. The moral is:
Never merely think a gun isn't loaded
be sure, and to be on the safe side never
point gun or pistol at anyone under
any consideration.
