Today's issue csntains a State ticket which we publish at the request of an "Old Cotton Buyer." To those who do not thoroughly understand the connection between communications harded this p;.per and our editorial sentim-jnt, we say plainly and posi-j tircly that we are not responsible for the views and opinions except those eXDre^Sfid iu tho editorial colucnas. I In connection with the the ticket suggested t>y"Uld uotton iiayer", we have only 'this to say, that in our judgment the policy of the :Straightouts in this State for this rear should be oppo-' gition 'to any nominations by them. And we use the word policy in its strictest sense. Oar remarks are not intended to reflect any' opinion of the personnel of the ticket one was or another. The 1'ires. It is not usual for us to comment editorially on a fire in our community, but thev are becoming so freauent that, to say the least of it, it looks suspicious. The last fire, Tuesday night, a iw detailed account of which appears in our local columns, might hare been more destructive than it was if it had HP^ been a windy night. It razes to the ground a valuable piece of property as it is. Fires are reported over the State, and the systematic occurrence gives rise to some suspicion. It is thought that Laurens is a target for incendiarism. Winnsboro has not had a great many big fires, and our citizens bare always been reluctant to charge ^ that they originated in any other way ^ than by accident. The last fire occurred in the dead hour of the night. It was a livery, sale and feed stable. Had it not been set on fire, the only way to account for the origin of the fire is the very improbable theory of spontaneous combustion. We would ?uggest that a vigilant carc should be exercised at the present ~ < i.-i J time to prevent nres oy accident, uuu that some precautionary steps be taken to detect incendiarism. This is a raat?|l tcr that should interest good citizens. Hi SUcHins Shell. Is?* Mr. J. Y. Jones, of Abbeville, addresses a letter to the State in which he goes for Mr. Shell without gloves.

In an interview with a correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle at Lsnrens, S. C., under date of January 20, General Farley, in speaking of the situation, says: "As to the time of holding a contention, f don't thiuk it will make any great difference if it be so tim?d as not to interfere with tT?AcV I.UC ? VI K \Sl KJUL pcvpic* However, 1 am not in that fight and am willing to accept whatever tne reformers may do, hoping that wiser and more conservative element in our ranks may control. * * * Well, in the first, place, the next governor of Sooth Carolina will be a reformer, but a? I have several friends who have already been spoken of, and othero , may be in the field, I do not wish to ; express any preference or opinion, ] and am willing to leave that matter ; to the people." General Farley s&yg he has been fearful that there might be riot and bloodshed, and that the campaign this summer would be the most hotly contested wt have ever seen, but the signs are more hopefn', viz., that the Alliance, while insisting upon its most essential demands, are more liberal toward those who differ with them. He says he knows all or nearly all ?f the leaders, and doesn't think we hare anything to fear from the leadership of W. D. Evans, Capt. Shell, Tindall, Ellerbe, Norris, Donaldoon, Stokes, Bawden and many others. He say6 he knows M Bowden is considered a sort of third partvite in national politics, but he does not want to divide the white people or appeal to the negro. And he sees very plainly that the Conservatives will not oppose any namination we make unless forced to d? so by unwise, foolish and extreme course on "our" Dart. When asked about the dispensery, with reference to the s-itnation, he said that liquor always causes political agitation, and xs the present law is purely experimental, is unable to fore* : see how it wtll effect, but that it might cause new issues which would have a tendency to allay some of the present bitterness. Mr. Farley says he has been waiting to see if there was a demand for him for Congvess, and he finds that there , is, so he wants it understood that he is . in the race, first and foremost, on the , Democratic platform, but modifying at all times t? meet the demands of the Southern people. He saya if lect- , ed he will counsel with and caucus with the Democrats in Congress on all economic questions involving the fundamental principle? of the party, but on all economic questions not involving such principles he would reserre the right to vote as he pleased. No caucus has the right to make him vote against the interest of his constituents. And he wants it understood that he can not be made a "decoy duck" or "to pull chestnuts out of the fire" for other people by dividing "oar" ranks. Prohibition *r Dispensary?Xelther. It 18 assenea oy >ome uew?p?fc*ei? that the prohibitionists hare not faltered in their purpose, but are only resting on their oars. Whether this be true ?r not remains to be seen, and we are unable at present to surmise what will be the nature of the issue on the liquor question. If the prohibitionists make a tight for prohibition, pure and simple, they must necessarily light the saloon and the diap^nsary also; and if the -liqu?r men mate a fight, they will have to ight both the prohibitionists and dispensary. It j is hard in these days of political | agitation to eliminate the element of politics from any puhlic ques! tion, and, therefor*, it is difficult to get anv of these questions discussed on their merits. That the dispensary has some good features, we readily admit. There is no card table, no night loafiing, no treating, no biding places for young men and boys at night, and the temptations to which young men were subjected while barrooms existed are removed to a great degree. Then wc believe alto th*t the ' liquors are chemically pure. All these ; things we readily admit. Bat one of the weakest points of the ] entire system is the object of its crea- 1 tion, viz., the source of revenue. ] Everything: connected with the manage- ' ment of the dispensary, and all laws i governing the same, point that way. i And we think any fair minded, think ing man will admit this point, that the sole point i? to xtake money. The i last legislature amended the law* to i that dispensaries may be established in 1 all places, with a few exceptions, \ which were formerly dry. The hotel* i mar now sell it under supervision of the dispeuser. The county diopenser has the right, under t new rule, to ship anywhere, in fact the State Board has left no stone unturned in the effort < to place it in the reach of every one. And there is not a county dispenser in ' South Carolina thai d?es not know ! that as soon as bis expense account equals his profit that his place will b? closed, because it don't par sufficient revenue; and of course they will push their sales on this account. Now we a?k in all honesty if anything connected with the law and management of the dispensary syctem don't argue in favor of the revenue idea, and no more. What cati tLe prohibitionist, who means to prohibit, hope for in this f':prfnink* nnf. fhaf th*ire will be any effort in tba lea?t to prevent drinking, on the cong-ary to nake it more convenient to jet liquor?but only trom the aispensary. While they claim not to sell to drunkards, nevertheless they have the liquor on hand and the drunkards get it by some means. Then, this system makes inroads and restrictions on the rights and A# tKo aif17An? A^ fhio 11 UCI L1C3 Ui UiWM/UO V* wvwvw; which is almost eqnal to disfranchisement. Uuder " Instructions to Trial Justices'* the folio winy appears: "It will be the duty of Trial Justices to see that no names are put in the hat except those of men who will find a verdict according to the evidence and not perjure themtelves through prejudice against the law." Therefore the U/n'IU Ik's *Vi*> fwol tuiug yuus uvnu iu uut< w*i uv um justice has the right to Bay to a citizen that he shall not sit on the jury. If this is not taking away citizenship what do you call it? How easy it wonld be for a partisan trial justice to secure a conviction or acquital as he might choose. And as for prohibition, it is out of the question. If you can pr?ve beyond a doubt that liquor has no medicinal property and has no place, or - ' 1 -1 noa/**!/** iUOUlU liavc iiu piauc, iu tuo j/hk-uw of medicine, and is in no way beneficial to mankind in any condition of life, theu you might talk about prohibition. The best evidence that all men hare some faith iri the use of spirits in case of sickness or accident, is the fact, that if the truth could be known, iu the closets of most families rou will find some wine or other spirits for emergencies that may arise. Then to carry out prohibition., it would be accessary to enact just such laws and customs as are operated under the dispensary system. And the right doesn't exist under the idea and spirit of this free country, but such practice is a usurpation of power and ? - ? ? /V/VWAMMWlAnf Wi a liiCUflUJC UV 1ICC ^UTQluuxvuvt ri% are net in favor of the former bar with iU numerous evile, but we argu< that the State has no right to take a business out of the hands of its citizens and establish a monopoly, simplj to make money, nor have the prohibitionist the right to keep it out of the borders et the State. jLROUXD FEASTERVILLE.

Editors: Id last week7* iseu< of The Niws and Hexald I read at article in which reference was mad< to the successful treatment by the mat stone of Mr. Baker who was bitter tome time ago by a mad dog. This article at once reminded me of th< fact that we ha7e here in oar midst it Fairfield county a specific againsi hydrophobia, and though comparatively little attention, has been paid tc it as each, it is nevertheless said to be as safe, simple and as efficacieas in itf results as the mad stone or Pasteui treatment. This is a plant knowu ai Elecampane, and is grown by Mr. David H. Cork, a worthy and respected citizen of -this community, and I believe Mr.. Cork is the onlj person J. know of in the county who jrows it. To those who are not familiar with ic I will state that it it an herb hating a long, tapering root, and its top,' which is of perennial growth, so;newhat resembles the well known coprfrev plant. In the root ol (his plant lies its wonderful medicinal and peered ire properties. To prepare it for use the root is taken and mashed and then boiled in sweet milk And drank often, which expels and eradicate* from the blood and system ill traces of the terrible poison. Mr. Cork has, from pertonal observation, implicit faith in its curative properties, and he can trace its use as el remedy and a prerentative of hydrophobia back over a hundred years, and he says that it ha? always been considered a specific in mad dog bites. He has treated a number of persons who were unmistakably tfTtten by mad ^ - ?? ? ? J l*A nAn* K l*fT UU?8V ttUU UC 4UUt liO UQQ uui known it to fail in a 'single instance o 1 preventing ihe terrible results which otherwise would have followed had it not been used. So I would say to any one who may have the misfortune tc get bitten by a mad dog to call on or confer with Mr. Cork, who I know would take pleasure in treating you. Woodward, S. C., Jan. 15. X.
