Tm Waptnsary:n b the 1Adt NeWs an linald one signFi( himself "Observer"c gives reasins in favor of the dis pensary as 'the best stolution of tle whiskey question. This is 'sad after the exposure, by Lyon and Christensen, of the corrup tion and rottenness of the system, s well as the men ruunng it. "Observer" does not observe very elosely or he would only see moral decay and putrefaotion in the entire thing. Hear "Observer": "I offer a few reasons in favor of the pres eat system * * * as agAinst high license." Is that not sim ply & scare-erow? The question of high license is not-before the people, and it seems like a for lorn hope to parade it at this time. If the county votes 'the dispensary out of business and out of character, we will have what ten other counties have. Why not? Let us not wave the red lag too soau. -igh license ii not in the air. "Observer" speaks further: "As all are aware, under the present system, the net profits on sales are riivided between the town and sounty in support of the public schools." There now! You have an all-powerful argument. It appeals to the pocket nerve. There is money in it. Let us see. Greeaville gets 41 ents per. scholar per year from this legal ized sale of whiskey; other counties from 35 to 60. Here is an appeal for my vote. "Ob server" suggests that it is quite a a good thing. I will not sell my vote for 41 cents, but I will sell my vote, d my bey if you will just die the hideous mon ster and S1 it the school fund. I think it is an insult to the in telligence and character of any father to ask him to wid in cor rupting his son and the sons of others, even if the dispensary paid every dollar of their education. To teach my boy that I support the whiskey traffic in his interest, and thus teach him to look up to it as his nursing mother is going too far. Possibly some pious souls who go to the Bible to prove that Jesus sanctioned wine as a beverage might find some passage favoring tha se le of whis key by the church, m: that the apostles were educated by this schoolfund. Why not? A beau tiful idea is to keep the public school idea always before the people. When the pious parents gather with their children for family prayer the' father prays very fervently fer the blessinig of God on the suoces of the dis pens'ary as a money-making ma chine. The mother, as she looks the children of her loins in the face, cries out, "Amen! dear Lord, bless our children by blessing the dispensary." 0, but you say that is carrying it too far. Not a bit of it, sir. If I Qan't pray God's blessings on my vote. I am a hypocrite, pure and sizLple. Any man wbo can't pray as he votes is a sham and a friud, a cheap veneering of humanity, and should be disfranchised, for he is a dan gerous fellow. The day I vote for whiskey in any form, I will pray for it with all my heart, for my rote and my character anad my church and my family and my God are one in intereat. General Lee rafised $25,000 a year salary to siand as president of the Louisiana lotber;. His reply was, "I have only my character left and that is not for sale." The fathers of Fairfield are not ready to sacrifice their children to the Wine God for money. I want to notice another "rea son" of "Observer" for the dis pensary system. Hear him: "Also under the present system the sale of whiskey is restricted. being sold in original packages only, and not ,sold te habitual drinikers and minors." That is refreshing. It has a far away religious ring aboat it. it sounds like sometbing given us from headquarters thirteen years ago and not since it has been shown that men bought it anid became drunk on it within the room of the dispecsary. Let "Obse'rver" read the Ly on and Christensen investigation, and then see the folly of trying to hold up the piety of the G. M. I to the gen eral public. I personally know men who are habitual drunkards and who go to the dispensary and buy all the whiskey they can pay for. I would be glad if "Observ er" would give us an instance in which the "habitual drinker" failed to change his money for whiskey at the-dispensary. But let us hear "Observer" again. He has convictions. "All will concede," says he, "that were~ it possible to have real prohibi tion, no blind tigers, it would be best." Indeed! That is refresh ing as coming from one standing for the dispensary just as it i-a. "Prohibition and no blind tigers. How would the immaceulate dis pensary look with no bliwd tigerd Why does the thing have these barnacles hanging to her any way? Every whiskey man is ready to curse prohib'tion before it has birth, bacause, forsooth, .gblind tigers would ruin the con tryo as then ul ofnsh law. I .r toold we have two ne thre.1 'tigera" in Our little towB, and i1 one seems nceq'ed. Why leinand that a'no tiger" be seen n a prohibition town, when they ire all orer the State tinder your present gystein. The dispensary la chamged with furuishing whis- jt key to "tigers" and dividing .-he spoils. Of course we will have' "tigers" if you give us prohibi tion, but I thank God they woild not he kept or patronized by prohibitionists. The blind tigers are the legitimate product of the whiskey eement. It is a low down, degenerate ulemenT of society, too lazy to work, and afraid to steal, who live under I the flag of our country, and yet violate her laws, crush out every noble instinct of humanity, de grade their manhood, close the doors of society against their families, and then go about our streets and assume the air of a good citizen and say "prohibition does not prohibit." That is a false btatement. It will prohibit if the whiskey element will act the part of men and not as high way robbers of the morals of our people. In the far west men ape yet hung for stealing a hcrso. We do not hang men here for robbing our young ainen of their manhood. There are too many who are ready to encourage tiem in the drink habit. J.

Robinson and Elliott were burned. But for the fire's being discovered by some passers by before it made much headway, it would have been quite serious, as there were more than 100 hales of cotton at the ginhouse. The fact that one bale had been removed from the grounds makes the proprietors of the ginnery think that the fire was of iucendiary origin. There was no insuracee Danger in Fall Colds.

In the ward of the scholarships by the rustees of the Charleston Col ege last week, Mr. Chas. Brice, s son of Mr. J. A. Brice, was iwarded one of the Boyce sohol trships, which is worth $100 a year in good hard cash and free nition amounting to $50 per year. When it is remembered that.these scholarship are awarded wholly on merit, the honor is all the more. It would seem thiat the good reports that have been current in regard to Charlie's work have not been without foundation. His friends here eengratulate him on thus sustain ing the high standard he set for himself in his work in his home school and in not letting the reputation of Mt.

Women as Well as lien he Made Mierable by Kidney and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessensambition; beauty, vigor and cheerful R$ ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dis eased. -- Kidney trouble has become so prevalent Sthat it is not uncom "mon for a child to be born afflicted with .......'weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often, ii the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as nmost people suppose. Women as well as men are ma~de miser able with kidney and Uladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
