INTERESTS Said to he Usin| Money in This State Senator Blouse's home paper, tho Newberry Observer, which is opposing his election as governor, said last week :- -viIf reports from various sources are true, there is a good deal of money being sent into South Carolina in the liquor inter nst. What tho wholesale liquor manufacturers and liquor dealers want is that South Carolina shall iigain be thc Tadd for their Wares that it once was, and they arc will ing to spend piles of money to make it so. "To our thinking there is only >ne real issue involved hi state politics in South Carolina-tin? is iue between liquor-selling and prohibition ino issue upon which ?ho capmaign was fought two tears ago; the issue upon which it ?sill probably bo fought two yours lenee, and every year until the icople shall bury this issue so deep >y their votes that there shall be io r?surrection for it. The talk ibout extravagance and mansions uni immigration does not amount o a row of pins, In our estimation, n comparison with the ovorwhel liing issue whether the state of ton th Soul!) Carolina shall engage H tho business of liquor-selling or vhether ii shall prohibit the sale." For Sore Feet.
