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.

Small Cotton Fire.
There was a small fire at the
Greenbrier ginnery Friday even
ing. 16 bales of cotton belong

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

Atit-her Winnsbo'o boy has
emonstrated the fadt that it pays
bov in dollat and debts to
pply himself diligentl to his
ooks and do just a little better
ban the other fellow. 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. Zion for send
ing out well prepared students be
lowered in any way. Good for
Charlie.

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.
