Dixon, of New York, who recently lectured in Charleston and'' Sumter, upon his return home preached somewhat on the Dispensary system in South Carolina. He SUIU, 1U |^ui L ; , Tbe Slate closed up all bar rooms and opened instead places wtiere al) forms of liquors could be bought, from tlieg finest to the poorest, but none of it could bq consumed in the place. The officer in change has no interest in the profits or success t>t the business, as he receives a salary. It wAs Inaugurated and put Into effect by the cyclone Tillman, then Governor and now U. )S. Senator. It met with great opposition aUd the severest criticism; but anything from tiim would have been the same. I honestly believe that if an angel had stood on St. Michael's in Charleston and said that it was a dWine order that the Dispensary be established,; that it would have been the means of keeping the people from the church, 6uch was the'feeling aealnst It when essablisbed. Now, 'J say, without fear of contradiction, that it 14 working with marvelous benefit to the vast majority of people. V I spent twenty-four hours Tin Charleston, and went through tbe roughest portions of the city until one o'clock in the' morning, and never saw any city so quiet, except Portland, Me., and there the same conditions exist, except the South Carolina law Is a poor ^edition of the Maine law, where liquor i is only sold by prescription. In South Carolina it is sold to any ODe. Tbe revenue feature of tbe Dispensary Law Is Its wor?t feature.) I never saw a man or woman In the city lAnder the influence of livuor. I spent the 4th of July In a cl(ty of 8.000 in South Carolina, where half tbe population is colored, and not an arrest was made for drunkenness disordely couduca. I did not see one person in tbe slightest under the influence of liquor. ) They drink, yet in South ! Carolina, of cousse; but as vou lessen the temptation you lessen diunkenness. (Cheers.) ( They have eight dispensaries in Charleston/ now instead of 300 bar rooms, and Instead (of all the attractions of a first class bar room they present nothing more attractive to the passer-by than the plainest hardware stone where you buy 10-penny nails and monkey wreucties. (Cheers.) Oh, no! no one ever thinks ol going to a Dispensary on accofunt of its attractiveness. You see only the) shelves witli the goods stacked away on thenn and a plain bulletin board against the wall/giving In de tall the'latest price on the goods. The blind tlKert are running^ and Just as It always was, any tool that wanfts to get drunk can get drunk without going/ to the Dlspen sary?fan get drunk at any tyime. (Cheers'.) I believe that South Carolina, with her impulsiveness and her disposition to lead, ha* given to the world the solution of the liquoi problem, and that It could /be extended to tbt other thirty odd States with advantage ti .... r THE OLD FORT.

G\, July 22,18! Our last notes lo the Press and Banner h been commented upon by the county p ostensibly with the view of making capl We had no Intention of arraying thecou against the town oi Abbeville. We are fect.lv willing that the town shall be re] . seated in the Constitutional Convention 1 one man from Abbevl lie but not more. N< ly votes will be cast in the primary the:i(Hh. Now what proportion of this 3 ' come from the two clubs in Abbeville? 1 1 fair that less than :IU0 voters shall furnish f " delegates out of the six that Abbeville Is \ titled to? And that the county and coun towns shall only have two witli a vote ' 2,TOO. j The Medium charges that, we are makin | ticket, and seems to think that. Greenwi jand Nluety-Six are doing something des j rately wrong because they want delega who will vote for a reduction of area nei sary to form new counties. We were a lit shaky on this questlou at first, but as thii have turned out we are a little defiant u nowitseems thut the Abbeville Candida are shaky. We want nothing hut what lair, and our candidates have never chant their base, trotn tlrst to last they have been lavor of reduction. But how about the c candidates. Have they changed their b( and flopped over?some of their men say tl will vole lor reduction and work for it. O ers that they will vote for reduction but i i work for it. At the outset, were they hones In favor of a reduction? We have this i L.n?.tnthncawlmtnn?; innst H ho lit, It. } have wauled a Court House at Ninety-Six a long, long time, and just about (tie time think we see dnylight to be pounced do< upon by the Court House ring is terrible. (J it is unbearable and can people wonder ti we tight for I lie great privilege of being n< our seat of justice. We should not be blain for this, but we do blame the Court Hoi ring for trying to defeat us, when we are 01 trying to better our condition. Some people say that there is nothing wro in what Abbeville, as a town, is doing. TI won't do. A town has no right to oppress t people who support it. Remember, we ha been paying tribute to Abbeville quite lo enough. The burden of travelling 25 lo weary miles to our seat of Justice has be borne quite patiently, and we have enough it. Day light is breaking, the people of Abl ville County are with us, and yes, we are j ing to "break the bands," and if the gent man Irom Abbeville want seats in the c< vention they will have to change their tui even though It costs them a sacrifice ot pri ciple. We are marching on. and though may cost us much time and money, yet jt ascertain ur we live we will see smaller ai more prosperous counties. The veterans of Camp J.

The Greenwood Journal thus remarks o: e' an article which recently appeared fn th 11 Press and Banner: The following, under the head of "Wha the Constitution Should Have/' appeared li es the editorial columns of the Press and Ban tier yesterday morning: u* "A provision establishing the dispensary forever forbidding municipalities lrom II Is censing the sale of whiskey In this State. "The registration law should be firm!; ? fixed. "The homestead should be re-enacted. C. "No new county should be organized, ex cepton consent, by popular vote of a major '8. lty of the people ilvlng in the different coun ties from which It is proposed to take terrl ? tory. Whlthont the consent of a majority o d- the people voting-In each of the counties n< new counties should be organized anywhere The Journal has nothing to say, at thii time, about tne first three measures suggest ed. The one in reKard to the formation o new counties Is the one we rise to remari upon this morning. The position that n< counties should be formed "except by a ma * joriiy popular voie 01 me ainereni counuei from which It Is proposed to take territory . amounts to saying that the people concernec have no voice lu the management of theli 81 own local aflalrs. In our own case, is It Jusi that 1,1000 people of Abbeville county, wh( want to go into the proposed Greenwuoc c" county, and who know that It would be great ly to their Interest to do so, should be prohlb 'e lied by the 2,200 remaining In Abbevillecoun ty, who are not materially aftecled one waj 58 or the other by the division of the county? Ie Is it right and Just that 6J0 people of Kdge a field county, now twenty-six to twenty-elghi miles from their court house, who desire u le go into a new county and get a court bous< n within eight miles of their doors, should b< f' prohibited from so doing by 3,000 people re "? malnlng In the old county, simply becaus* T they have the numerical strength? We don'i 31 think so, and we don't believe the editor o the Press and Banner thinks so. R" The provision suggested might be abbrevl n ated and simplified by changing it so as t< say that "no new county shall ever hereafter under any circumstances, be formed in Soutt 5r Carolina;" thatlswhatltpractlcallyamount) y to. ,y a To which the Press and Banner would say e- Shall six hundred people be allowed to mu [e tilate and destroy the symmetery of Edge 0 field County, while three thousand are op a posed to the measure? Shall eleven hundred men change the boun )g dary lines of Abbeville County against the it will of twenty-two hundred ? Shall a few Court House builders have mor< 3. weight aDd influence in the government o i- the county than the great mass of the peo e ple? g The proposition of our neighbor is contrary e to the generally accepted theory of this Gov. ? ernment. The rule of the majority, and nol 3. the tyranny of the minority Is for the public t good. Why should this county be out to pieces when the great majority of the people are op e posed to It? | Why should Edgefield be mutilated at the request of six hundred as long as three thous i> and oppose the measure ? ? By what method of reasoning can the wish. 9 esof the six hundred claim the right to dls1 regard and override the will of three thousa and in disfiguring a county In which all arc e Interested? 8 According to the admission of our neighbor | the majority of the people in the counties alI fected are opposed to the new county. Has if ' come to this that the will of the majority e must count as nothing? a The Constitution of the United States bnf adopted a Just and equitable plan for the formation of new States.
