did sermons recently from the Baptist
pulpit, pr Vines expressed the hope that
the custom of wearing crepe and heavy
mourning would soon be abolished. DIR.
Francis Orme who died in Atlanta a
few days ago provided against an ex-
pensive funeral and the wearing of
conventional mourning. He had this
to say of the custum of thus advertis-
ing ones sorrow:
,''In some respects the wearing OF
mourning is barbarous custom. de-
sire and especially enjoin that my wife
and children shall not wear mourning
because of my death. To mourn at
heart upon the loss of friends is una.
voidable; to wear the habiliments of
mourning is form. While the prac.
tice may accord with the pomp OF
courts and the parade of wealth, it
seems to me uniting in republican
country. Were it abolished it would
leave much bread for hungry widows
and orphans.

"Hoist by His Own Petard."

A certain prominent Baptist minister
in Charleston has doubtless seen the
error of his way and has repented, but
is it not too late for him to counteract
altogether the evil influence which he
set in motion? Several years ago when
an effort was made to carry the state
for prohibition this minister preached a
sermon against prohibition in which, if
we remember correctly, he referred to
it as "a screaming farce" Possibly a
prohibitory law would have been a
farce in Charleston, but would prohibi-
tion be alone in that respect? Is not the
enforcement OF some other laws in
Charleston more or less farcical? While
Charles :op county may or may not have
been benefited by the success of the
prohibition movement, yet there is no
gainsaying the fact that practically all
of the other counties would have been
benefited. At the time, this promi-
nent minister, unwittingly letus hope,
allowed his influence to be used to the
defeat of prohibition. Some of his as
sertions were sweet morsels for the IL
quor people, frequently quoting them
and referring with evident satisfaction
to the source from which they came.
This minister should have realized that
the prohibitionists all over the state
had seta high standard, using every
honest means to measureu to it, and
while his own community may not have
been benefited he should have taken
high ground and helped to attain the
ideal.
What has finally happened? The ut
| terances of this minister have acted as
a boomerang, and he doubtless finds
himself 'hoist by his own petard. {"
Tho low standard which he set several
years ago was seized with avidity by
Charleston's lawless element and it
has.had its partin causing conditions in
that city to gofrom bad to worse. So
intolerable ha conditions become
through the operations of blind tigers,
race track gambling, etc., that this
same minister has changed the range
of his guns. Instead of pointing up
state they are now pouring hot shot
into Charleston. He is endeavoring
through series of sermons to change
or cure diseased public sentiment"
which his utterances helped to create,
and which had an important part in de-
feating statewide prohibition.
Moral: A man of influence, especially
a minister of the gospel, should seri-
ously reflect before uttering words that
are calculated to retard moral reforms.

Building Valuable Property.

Because Col. F. N. K. Bailey has de-
cided to move his institution to Green
wood, leaving our building possibly va
cant, 30 far as boarding school is con-
cerned, should cause no regret on the
part of our people. The three-story
brick building which glaces the acade-
my grove is valuable property and
can always be utilized to advantage
for educational purposes. The best
part of it is, the building is admirably
adapted TO either q high school or
boarding school purposes, which really
makes it more valuable as piece of
town property than one of the modern
graded school buildings which towns
much smaller than Edgefeld are erect
iaga at cost of from S15,0 to $50, 600.
Furthermore, instead of having any re-
grets that the SIS, 900 bond issue was
invested in this building, we should
rather congratulate ourselves that the
school property was thus improved be-
fore the tremendous increase in the
cost of building. Making rather a
rough estimate, it is hardly probable
that such building as Edgefield now
owns could be erected at this time for
che sum of s25, 600.
The town of Gaffney will in short
time vote upon the question of issuing
bonds to the amount of $4,000 for
erecting school buildings. Of this
amount $4,000 will be used to improve
two buildings that are already in exist
ence and $4,000 will be used to erect
another large graded school building.
Gaffney is taking this forward step
Notwithstanding the fact that the
town has Limestone college in which
to educate its girls.
1t matters not what kind of a school
will succeed the S. c. c. ]. in Edge
field, whether another boarding school
or high school, the point we wish to
make is that Edgefeld has not can ele-
phant on its hands" in the form of the
present three-story building. Let US be
thankful that we have the building, a
big bargain for the money invested,
and 90 to work in earnest to establish
the right kind of school in it.

The Man With The Pistol.

There died in a hospital in Co.
lumbia Saturday night a'young man
who had been shot by another
young man a few days before. From
the evidence adduced at the inquest
itappears that these two young men
were strangers 10 each other, and
met hy chance at railway station.
Some tritiing misunderstanding took
place, one slapped--the others face,
whereupon the latter quickly drew
a pistol and fired into the body of
his assailant several shots. The man.
slayer says the deceased appeared
to throw his hands towards hip
pocket.
There is in this killing the old
lesson of law breaking leading to
deeper lawlessness. What reason
had either of these young men with
pistol? 1t turned out that the dead
man did not have one about him.
Why did the other think he had
one, and was about to draw it? Sim
ply because be himself was a law
breaker, and was armed and ready
to kill. Because he knew that he
himself had a pistol i'll his own hip
pocket, he was ready to believe that
a slight movement Of the hand of
the other meant that he, too, was
criminal and ready TO kill a fellow
man. Hence, the real law-breaker
was ready to draw and fire and
kill-and he did so.-Abbeville
Medium.
