Edfifefielcl Advertiser i THOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, FEB. 14,1894. The population of South Caro lina is about four times the size of the Territory of Utah and yet the mortgage indebtedness of the lattei is $632,415 more than the former. According to the Manufacturers' Record,- South Carolina, takes the lead in the manufacture of cotton goods of any southern state, and is also ahead in the number of new plants established during the year 1893. _ Gov. Tillman says no constable will be allowed on the force who gets drunk, that he has them ad monished of this when they first go on duty, and it shall be a law as immutable as any of the old Medes and Persians. A terrific snow storm prevailed throughout the West on Sunday and Monday past. In Kansas it is said to have been the worst within the memory of the oldest inhabi tant. Over two feet of snow fell in less than twelve hours. A convention of the Reformers of the 1st Congressional district was 'held at Summerville last Thursday, and Dr. J. Wm. Stokes was nominated to fill the vacancy caused by the promotion of Hon. Wm. H. Brawley to the United States District Judgeship. The Wilson tariff bill which passed the House of Representa tives by such a handsome majority will meet with much more opposi tion in the Senate, and many changes may be made before it finally becomes a law. Senator Butler? however, thinks it will go through ,the upper house without material alteration. The Spartanburg Spartan, an anti paper, says : "When the cam paign opens all that Tillman has to do is to mount the stump, say over his old speeches of 1890, abuse the old ring, the aristocrats and Haskellites, and there will be a grand rally to him. The people are going to stick to Tillman in 1894 as they did in 1890." A decision was lately reported from Iowa which may interest owners of dogs. The Supreme court of that State sustained a deieisonofa lower courr where by damages to the amount of $1,500 were awarded a man who was in jured by being thrown from his buggy in a runaway caused by the barking of a neighbor's dog. Not the least of the many bene fits fairly attributable to the dis pensary law in thiB State, is the fact that there has been a great falling off in the number of per sonal difficulties in which pistols were drawn and b'ood shed. Be fore this law went into operation, shooting scrapes were of every day occurrence all over the State, sometimes as many as half dozen a day, all due to whiskey Senator Butler made a speech in Bennettsville on the first Monday in this month by appointment. This is the same spot where Gov ernor Tillman made his famous first speech in 1885 the one which was heard around the world. The Bennettsville Democrat seems to think that the Senator came too late, that Marlboro coun ty people had already killed the senatorial calf for Ben j. I. Why don't the people quit kick ing against the dispensary law? It is a great deal better than the old barroom system. It is true we voted for prohibition, but did not expect to get it, except in a modi fied form and while the present law does not fully meet our appro bation, yet it should be given a fair trial. We notice that it is not prohibitionists who are doing the kicking, but the roughs and toughs of creaton, aided and encouraged by a lot of disgruntled, dejected, sour, lonesome newspapers and re porters who will not be satisfied after they are dead unless they can kick.-Easley Democrat. We hear the statement frequent ly and have noticed in many of our State exchanges the assertion,that a constable has right to enter private dwtlliugs and search for liquors even in the most private apartments, without a warrant. This is told by many in ignorance and by others who know that it is incorrect Here is a copy of a por tion of the instruction furnished over the signature of B. R. Till . man to those officers who are charg ed with the enforcement of the law: "The right to search without a warrant applies only to places of business and public places-and in all cases where liquor is Leliev ?d to be in private residences and is being sold, search warrants must be issued." !LET TH JE LAW RUJLE. A, gentleman of undoubted re liability, who lives near Reidville, sent for Deputy Marshal Kirby to come out on a blind tiger hunt. The report came also that six teen sturdy moonshiners from the Glassy Mountain section of Green ville county have been preambu lating around- Reidville several days with a wagon load of whis key, which they were selling openly and above board to anybody who desired. The entire party were armed to their teeth, with Win chesters, shot guns, pistols, and and knives.-Herald. The ADVERTISER has been dis posed to think that Gov. Tillman's constables were too reckless of hu man life in enforcing the dispen sary law, but the above, a clipping from the Spartaiiburg Herald, pre sents a state of facts that require harsh measures, and Gov. Tillman is limply fighting the devil with fire. Men who carry "Winchesters and knives and shotguns" to en able them to violate the law must be met by men armed with like deadly weapons to enforce it. There lis no other alternative, no other solution of the matter. If the law cannot be enforced by ordinary means then extraor dinary means muut be resorted to or anarchy will rule instead of law. If there shall be blood shed the responsibility will be placed where it belongs upon the law breakers and those who are by their sym pathy and encouragement aiding and abetting. Let the law be enforci d. TO TRY THE DISPENSARY. Some time last year the State of Massachusetts, by act of its Legis lature?, appointed a commission to investigate the Norwegian or Goth enburg system of regulating the liquor trade. This is the system in force in South Carolina now and called the dispensary law. This commission consisted of Judge John Lovell, Dr. Henry P. Bowdircb,and Rev. John G. Brooks, three eminent citizens of the com monwealth. They employed a Mr. Koren who spentconsiderable time in Norway and Sweden in investi gation. The report which he has fur nished the data for, is full of val uable statistics which show the merits of ihe systems which are studied, as well as their weak points. Not only is the general situation given in each of these countries, but several of the largest places, such as Gothenburg, StOCk tfn] ^"j '"-?tl-i-a - ? i ' ' I up and studied in detail. Statis tics are given to show the excessive consumption of liquors bnfore 1855, which led to the agitation for reform, and the success of the new system is established from its good results as seen in the in creased sobriety of the people and in the improvement of their ma terial condition. Public opinion ie said to be very strong in favor of the Gothenburg system. "The average citizen, who pursues his way without much concern for affairs nor imme diately touching his personal in terest, makes an exception when questioned as to the company sys tem and pronounces its advantages great without hesitation, Much more emphatic are the declarations of those whose position in society lend special weight to their opin ion. Not for a moment would they entertain the thought of going back to the old regime,with brandy shops on every corner for the en richment of private persons. In the words of the chief of police of Gothenburg the difference between conditions under the old an the new order of things is as the difference between night and day." It is said that there is ample support for the statement that drunkenness has fallen off as the company system has extended, and it is absolutely known that the consumption per capita has fallen off one-half." . To Fight the Devil. Reform A d voca te. The liquor elements of the whole United States are massing their forces in South Carolina, for the success of the dispensary system means its extention and adoption by other States, hence the relent less warfare now being waged upon it. Millions of dollars if needs be, will be contributed by the liquor men to carry on the fight, hundreds of men may be slain in this strug gle of morality with vice, yet wu have an abiding faith that right will prevail. It is foolish to uu dorestimate the strength of our enemies, we have before us the hardest fight ever entered into by our people, it will only nerve us to greater exertion, and when we can in security put aside our armour, the realization that the fight was hard, can only add zest to the en joyment of the victory. January has given promise of improvement in the mercantile and financial world for 1894. Tho gain is slight, but quite enough to call for thanks and renewed i courage.
