Constables iu Prohibition Counties. Cblef Constable tiammeu bait recommend* ed Bending constables to Newberry and Picken a Counlien, to belp suppress tbe Illicit salt of liquor In tbeee dry counties. Tntae counties object; tbey ao not like tb? Idea of paying au extra bull mill in tbe interval ol law and order. It 1* tbe same oiu story, enacted so olten li* different localities ol Ibis ttlalt; tbe boneai, industrious, law abiding, sober citizen mum submit to extra taxation to keep tbe tale Oi prohibition liquor in bounds and to suppreat attendant lawlessness. Tbis la truly a case 01 tbe Job I suffering for IDe unjust. However mucu tbose oountles wblcb bolu to ibe theory tbat tbe liquor drinkere abouid contribute tbe fund lor policing tbe suit umj and abuse ol liquor, may sympatbis* witb tbe law abiding citizens of tbe prohibition counties, tbey are not willing to assume tbe extra burden of larnlsbing tbese counties witb a conatabulary, gratis. Thaovlva Half mill nn fr\9 rv\llnlna o prohibition county oomes a little hard, bat It is the only way. It la not In tbe spirit of Cain that dispensary counties object to their lands being paid out to police prohibition eoontles, tbe; symply need what fells Into their Jeans /or home consumption. Streets are to be macadamized, public roa^ls worked, children educated, and the drinking man Is determined to five his money either for these several uses, or for the sole nse of the; blind tiger debauchee,we will take tbe fund and apply It for blm. ' Those counties that are wincing nnder tbe extra levy of half a mill woQld do well to note tbe example of tbe city of Darlington. That city when tbe dispensary fnnds were withdrawn from it immediately Inoreased Its tax levy six mills. Tbe levy for connty purposes, In counties where dispensaries have been voted out will be Increased two or three mills to meet necessary demands, then why cavel over the 1-2 mill levied for police purposes. Yon have taken your choice, now pay your money. Who will Prevail. Tbe antl-dlspensary forces made up of Pro. bibltlonlsts, high llotnu men and the blind ttgar. present a somewhat amusing stats ol things, At least two Of the leading dally paper* of tba etate, tboM that are piloting tbe antl dispensary flgbt, are confessedly for blgb license, and yet martlaled under their banner are prohibitionists and blind tigers. Sup pose, for take of argument, that this Babel'" i of foroes should win tbe flgbt. Each Is the antithesis of tbe other, and united now, only oy common hatred of tbe dispensary and It# origin. Neither Is sufBolent to prevail of Itself. Once tbe bated dispensary has been dl?. posed of, with tbe leading dally paper* referred to, using every Influence for blgb lloense we quaks for tne potency of the "water waggon." Perhaps the despised adherents of tbe s dispensary may yet be called on to save the prohibitionists from their friends. Would it not be well for tbo sincere prohibitionist to stop and reflect for a moment. He is not dealing wltb a citizenship of saints, or of noodles. There are tempo rate drinkers and intemperate drinkers ln,this state, and in tbe aggregate they very much exceed the probi> bit Ion 1st*. This element will have, liquor, , the wealthier by ordering It from other states, and tbe poor through the blind tiger. Can the prohibitionists, a small minority of tbe states citizenship, expect by tbe mere passage of an act or acts to enforce reformation upon < be majority? Where tbe moral sentiment s not changed and the majority Is out of sympathy with an aot aud unwilling to give It moral support that aot becomes a nullity. Witness, for Instanoe, tbe obstructions that a minority has thrown in tbe way of tbe operation of the Dlspensrry Law. Too dravtlo for tbe high lloense man, not drastic enongb for tbe prohibitionists it has been flanked and flred upon by these two forces In every conceivable way. That its operation has proven In a measure successful Is a wonder. Once your common enemy is disarmed, do you expect fairer treatment of tbe license advocate* or blind ;tlgers than has been accorded tbt dispensary. A great many good men advocate tbe license system under tbe dispensary regulations. They say that they are opposed to tbe state going into tbe business, bence they would delegate tbls right to any of her citizens, and exact compliance with tbe dispensary restrictions. In other words, they would put the license so blgb as to create a monopoly In each county in the Interest of an Individual, instead of tbe;BtBte, and they would make that individual theBlatss police agent to carry out restrictions diametrically opposed to bis Interests. They would expeot fuller compliance from an Individual whose income is Increased with bis sales, then from the states appointed agent whose salary it 1 fixed. 1 Mow then,after the dlspeniary It la either { prohibition or high Itoenae. Prohibition, with a portion of the dispensary < lement dlagrnntled, with the license element, diagramled with the blind tiger loxuratlng in the opportunity afforded by divided pnbllo opinion; or It will be high lleenae, with the Ueenaed party, wboae revenue^* his trade, required to oloae the door on publle days, before night, and on Sunday. Way back, "time whereof the memory of man" etc,, tome one tald, "I?et well enough alone." If the Influence of the preaa counts for anything; If a large existing whiskey vote oounta for anythlDg, the time may come when the problbltloslst may have oocaaloD to reflect on theie aa the truest worda ever spoken. "Memorabilia." Tbli la tbe title ef an exceedingly Interesting book by Julian A. Bel by, veteran newspaper man and kind-hearted old gentleman of tbe city of Columbia, 8. C. In tbe preface' to b la book be prom Iter, In tbe recitation of bla atorlea, not to open old aorea or to give pain to any one. Tbe book will be of Interest to men in all classes of society, and tbe kindly spirit pervading tbe Btorlea draw one to tbe antbor in tbe belief tbat bis beart is right and good. He la now tbree yean past bla tbrec-eoore and ten, and be bopea toreacb , the four-score mar*. He bopea, and we Jotn blm Id tbe bope. tbat tbe Great Master at tbe final acconnting may find enongb good In blm to oveibalance any shortcomings on bis part.
