1t Is To Be Drug Stores Instead o.
"Dreg" Stores.

The Pharmaceutical Association which
met last week In the good city Of Anderson
nave suscinctly stated their attitude In re.
gard TO Drug Stores selling liquor. There
we're only four dissenting votes to the quef'
ton. In our estimation. this attitude OF the
state druggist raisies them still higher In the
scales Of, clvicbrotherhood~
These men do not want to change theil
handsome drug stores into i'll smelling
"dreg" stores and we are proud OF the fact.
Every drug store in Abbeville is as clean
as the driven snow and they are going tc
remain clean because the men at the helm
are clean men.

cultures, of all things to be Stunned. Tn
"dreg" store Is the Quntessence. A topper
with a prescription, o [gin guzzler with
script for liquor is enough to make a belize
bub Singer. A poor run usher about to be
cured at q "dreg' store is an anomaly In
deed.
The . gentlemen of the Pharmaceutical
Association realize this and while they know
that they, could coin money by the sale
they prefer cleanliness to lucre. They de.
serve commentator by every man, woman
and child In the broad land for the firm
stand they have taken,
The trend of the times Is upward and thu
resolution is unmistakeable evidence of the
fact. We are glad that the resolution wal
introduced by an Abbeville man,
Abbeville has been arrsigned before thu
bar of opinion and this only aids In showing
haw we stand before the bar OF truth.

few persons In town could realize that the
minister who had served the communion en-
Sunday had passed away.
Although he had received for nearly a
quarter ola century perhaps a larger salary
than was paid to any other preacher IN the
Presbytery, yet he had no great estate OF
which to dispose. He had only a few hun
dred dollars. The large sum which he had
received during all thess years were dlspens-
ed In generous gifts to those men and to
those women and to those purposes which
appealed to the better side of his noble ma

ment of man, but he gave all that he had TO
educate, to hrlstiani liz and to make Others

An Orphaned Road.

Does the road near the one mile rock on
the Fort PIckens belong to the city or the
county, 1t Is very near the line and It seems
to be an orphaned road. The county will moi
father 1t nor will the town father 1t. 1t Is lef,
alone to get along the best way that 1t can.
AT present 1t Ia In a miserable condition and
needs immediate attention.
The nearer to the city a road is the more
travel passes over 1t, and for this reason the
roads near or in the city should be kept up
to within some degree of respectability.
This particular piece OF road is almost
drowned. 1t Is wiggling In mud knee deep
Some one ought to have pity on 1t and pull
1t out before 1t disappears. 1t has already
gone down two times and the third time is

Bad Behavior.

About twenty-five American tourists took
a tallyho drive in Toronto, Canada, last week,
aud during The drive two British flags were
tied to the axels OF the wagon while the stars
aud stripes waved In glee above. This made
the Britishers 80 mad that they appealed 10
the authorities TO stop 1t. One Britisher
Montalieu Nesbit By name, gave chase and
tried to get the police to arrest the entire out
At, but the police asserted that the buyer Of a
flag could use 1t In any way he saw fit.
The Evening News referred to the action
as impudent and impairment, and triumph
of bad ann and We agree with the News.
Ifany foreigners should come here and In
suit the flag under which we live IT would
