The State.
The dispensary investigation
comraittoo is bringing out matter
that the public has a right to know
and from ull indications there is
plenty yet to be produced. The
whole management of tho systom,
from the central dispensary to the
smallest retail grog shop, is legitimate
subject for this inquiry und
the committee will do loss than its
duty if it f ills to lay the wholo
thing bare. Only tinio is likoly
to bo a hindrance.
Mr. Gaston stated yesterday
that it was evident that "the
whiskey houses are debauching the
State, not only the State but tne
highest officials connected with tho
dispensary." \Vhen this fact is
so evident as to bo asserted on the
floor of the committee room by a
member, a conservative man who
has been politically a supporter of
the (lispeusary, it is no time to bo
ailing a hult on the work of that
committee. Tho probe must go
in deep. If any honorable man is
slandered in progress of ihis in
vestigation his remedy is plain.
But no honorable man's reputation
can be hurt; if falsehood are sworn
to concerning him and his acts the
proof that they are falsehood can
j be produced and the result will be
more damaging to tho falsifier than
to the honorable man.
The fact that certain reputable
gentlemen have been mentioned
in the course of the inquiry shows
how very difficult it has becomo
for any man to enter public life in
South Carolina at this time without
being mixed up, either in fact
or in hearsay, with the great State
monopoly in whiskey. The fact
that these same men arc so quick
to resent the intimations that they
have botn connected with the institution,
or with the wrongful
practices in the institution, is amplo
demonstration that the system
is nothing to bo proud of. The
State cannot engage in the sale of
whiskey, a sale in which high officials
are by tho law compelled to
have a part, without bringing
these same officials into unpleasant
connections. This fact is not one
of the least of the evils of the
system, and just now when the
effort is being strenuously made
?n 1L - 1 ? " "
?,w wuuwi iuo very mgnest Stale
officials with the system even more
intimately it is well enough that
the fact should be impressed upon
the public mind.
One of the former purchasing
officials of the dispensary has testified
that one house alone offered
to increase his income by the not
despicable snm of $30,000 per
year. Another former purchasing
official has testified that during the
two terms he sergjn) on the board
not one offer of this sort was made
to him by any whiskey house, and
that when a seemingly indirect effort
to lufluence hie friendship
was made he properly resented it.
This leads to the suggestion that
there may have been different sorts
of men connected with the dispensary
in the twelve years of its ex*
istence, a fact which the whiskey
houses, represented by shrewd
men, would not be slow to discover,
and the right sort of men will
not object to publicity.
SICKENING SHlVERINGFiri
of Augue and Malaria, can bo relieved
and cured with Electric
Bitters. Tbis is a pure, tonic
medicine; of especial benefit in
malaria, for it exerts a true curative
influence on the disease, driving
it entirely out of the system.
It is much to be preferred to Quinine,
having none of this drug'*
bad after-effects. E. S. Monday,
of Henrietta, Tex., writes: "My
brother was very low with malarial
fever and jaundice, till bo took
Electric Bitters, which saved his
life. At Crawford Bros., J. F.

Well hilled With Rockp.
it
Laurens, Aug. 27.?A few
nights ago the Oak Grove school %
house, located live miles east of it
the city, was totally destroyed by 1S
tire. The building was a very ^
goodono and had ronontly been n
furnished with new desks and other a
1
furniture. The loss was complete
as there was no insurance. At the r<
time of the burning the origin of s(
the fire wnH attributed to the care- n
iessness of some smoker :nong _
the members of the local camp of ci
Woodman of the World, who used C1
the school house foi a lodge room,
and who had held a meeting there q,
only a few hours before the fire
' at
was discovered. On the following J?
~ W.
night, however, some scoundrel
tilled Iho school house well full of m
rock, a circumstance which at once nr
led to the conclusion that Ihe same th
Bl<
party or parties hud applied the bfl
torch to the school building. In dr
connection with tho well incident
it is stated that this is the third i M
outrage of thih kind .it Oak Grove, mm

Roosevelt Goes Down in Submarine
Boat.
Oyster Bay, L. I., Aug. 25.?
President Roosevelt late this af ternoon
made a descent in Lcng Island
sound on board the submarine
torpedo boat Plunger. He
was aboard the vessel about three
hours. At one time the little
boat was submerged for 50 minutes
and in that time was put
through all of the submarine feats
of which she is capable. The president
expressed delight at tho
novel experience and said that he
was immensely impressed with the
boat and with the manner in -vhich
she was bandied. In thus braving
tho dangers of submarine manoeuvering,
the president has endeared
himself to naval officers and men
the world over, and made Lieut.
Olhas. H. Nelson, commander of
tho Plunger, the proudest and
happiest man in the United States
navy.

You Must '
Sleep. (
If you cannot, it is due to an
ritated or congested state of
le brain, which will soon deelope
into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
is as important as food; it
> a part of her building and
ustaining process. This period ''
f unconsciousness relaxes the 8
lcntal and physical strain, and
llows nature to restore exausted
vitality.
Dr. Miles' Nervine brings t
ifreshing sleep, because it ?
lothes the irritation and re- I.
loves the congestion. 111
It is also a nerve builder; it , ii
ourishes and strengthens ev- ! ^
y nerve in your body, and I.
catcs energy in all the organs. |
Nothing will give strength ?
