lowed on the premises. The Idea! People buy their liquor at the dispensary, drink on everybody else's premises, and make the highways a bedlam. Never before In the history of the state could negroes go to town and buy half a pint of liquor for 15 cents. They had to pay that much for drinks In barroom days, and now two people can get drunk for 15 cents. Said that according to the figures of the attorney general there were 105 murder cases in the state ten years ago and last year there were 250 murders. Ten years ago we had a tax levy of 5 mills on an assessed valuation of $150,000,000 and today we are still paying 5 mills on a valuation of over $200,000,000. Not only this our expenditures are exceeding our receipts. Taxes have not been reduced a single nickel. Told of the adoption of prohibition throughout the south in all the more progressive states and read from a newspaper statement some facts and figures on the subject. Told how the people of North Carolina had voted for prohibition in Charlotte, Greensboro and Raleigh. Do you know anybody who has been benefitted by the drinking of liquor under the dispensary law? he asked. Denied that the dispensary was in any way responsible for the reduction of the county tax levy two years ago. but asserted that the increased expenses at the poor house and court house were eating up every dollar of the dispensary money received by the county. ? TtUte the state over and it will be found that every dollar of socalled dispensary profits, are eaten up by increased expenses at the asylum, poor houses and penal institutions. Two or three men have tried to amend the dispensary law with local option provisions on the ground that they were friends of the law. They failed. I saw that the only way to go at it was to show up the rottenness and corruption of the whole system. No man who was a Democrat could consistently oppose the amendment I proposed, because if he did he would have to say to you that the "dispensary must control you and not you the dispensary." Every Democrat in the house came to my rescue. The opposition was led by L. J. Williams, chairman of the dispensary board, who wrote the amendment to my bill. I know this to be a fact and I can prove It. Never before has morality been penalized, yet South Carolina has thus been placed in this very position. If you will stop and think about it you will find that the dispensary law as enforced in South Carolina today instead of being the best solution of the liquor question, is a deception and a fraud. If I should drink liquor every day, I should soon come to lie. steal and be of no account generally. I mean if I should become a habitual drinker. It is the same with states as individuals. South Carolina has been on a debauch for ten years, and I believe that within two or three years more she will begin to get sober again. The people of South Carolina have never voted for the dispensary and he did not believe they would ever vote for it. He felt satisfied, however, that when his proposed bill became a law, the people would vote the dispensaries out. He said that the dispensary could be seen at its very best in Yorkville: but even at that it was nothing but liquor, and liquor in its worst and most dangerous form. You say if the dispensaries were wiped out would you not have blind tigers? I dare say you would; but you would stop encouraging people to debauch themselves by drinking whisky. We would. make the drinking of whisky disreputable instead of respectable otherwise it will ruin us. In conclusion Senator Brice urged all who loved their fellowmen and their state to use their every influence in wiping the dispensary law from the statute books. At the conclusion of Senator Brlce's speech,>Chairman Smith adjourned the meeting and the candidates spent the balance of the afternoon mixing with the people of the town and community. Some set out for Piedmont Springs; but others remained over until next morning. There was a good crowd at Piedmont Springs yesterday and all the canaiaities wnu careu iu oivcon > v. listened to attentively. Today's meeting was at Hickory Grove. . LOCAL LACONICS.

Governor Heyward has refused to pardon Sam McCraven, sentenced trom this county for ten years for manslaughter. Cotton Blight. The cotton blight referred to in the last two issues of The Enquirer, seems to be spread all over the cotton growing territory of the south. A gentleman who traveled from Howell's ferry to Yorkville last Saturday by way of the Pinckney road said that between Broad river and a point a few miles west of Yorkville, he saw dozens of cotton fields in which the stalks seemed to be entirely stripped of leaves. The ground was covered under the stalks as under the trees of the forest in the fall of the year. He noticed some fields that seemed to be still holding their own. Newspaper reports describe the same situation in Lancaster. Sumter, Chester and other counties, and complaints of the same character are coming in from all parts of Georgia. AT THB CHlHCHES.

A careful examination of their records and policy contracts will show that they are all "about the same." It costs a man who starts In at the age of 30 about the same to carry his policy twenty years in one as in another. If he dies before he carries the time out either one of them will pay his policy In full, provided he has paid his premiums up to that time; and in case he does not die and can pay no longer and desires to settle one will treat him about the same as another. In other words all the thirty companies are in the same class. There Is one company in business that has always carried out every contract It has made to the letter. It has been doing business over 59 years and has a spotless record. It has always held the palm for both economy and conservativeness, and has always furnished gilt edge insurance to its members at less cost than any other company. It glories in being in a class by Itself and In being recognized from Maine to Mexico as the ideal "Policy Holder's Company." It will cost you nothing to find out why the company?the MUTUAL BENEFIT?is In a class by itself, and if you take insurance without doing so you will be doing yourself a positive injustice.
