Better have it late. Absolute prohibition now prevails in South Carolina. It was dispensa ry liqnor last mouth, it was free liq uor last week and now the Supreme court has decided, that it is no liqnor at all from now out.

The building known as the Brook ly a .Tabernacle which cost so much money "and had such a debt on it thatjthe devoted pastor resigned last winter nn til some friends came for ward and assumed the obligations was the ,mot famous popular church in the world.
