GREENWOOD ITEMS,
T. G. S. Talks h Little on Many Sab*
Jecta?Of Conrae He Ob|ccU to the
New Road to Cole's Mill.
Greenwood, 8. C., Jan. 20,1896.
Next Thursday Is the day tor the election in
reeowood on the dispensary question. It is
ie principal topic of discussion in Greenood
at present. I wonld a*k this question:
o we need it. do we want it; would it tend
> build up Greenwood, either spiritually,
lorally, or even financially? I say no.
reenwood has kept apace with her sister
iwns of the State in everything that go to
jlld up a town. Better let well enough
one. We hear some say they are opposed to
ie dispensary on principal, but would rather
ive It than barrooms or blind tigers. Well
e hav?* no barrooms; haven't had for a long
me, and we can exterminate the tiger If we
111. The fact is. Mr. Editor, I don't believe
at Greenwood has any more blind tigers or
olators of the dispensary law than any othtown
of her size in the State. Why sir, a
spensary in a town don't destroy the tiger
it is called. It is said by some that If we
n get a good man to run it, one who will
rry oat the law, that would do away with
e objectionable features of the law. If so,
tio would tbey sell to? According to law
ey cannot sell to drunkards or to a man
bo ever gets drunk, nor can they sell to
iung men under 21 years of aee. I say who
uld they sell to? I admit there are some
en who take a drink, and never Ret drnnk.
tbey carry out the law would they make
iough to pay expenses? Greenwood is
ock full of as fine young men as any town
the State. We haven't a single one to be
crlticed by the preseooe of a dispensay. A
inorable young man will not hunt up a low
ace called a blind tiger to get whiskey, but
you set up a place and call It legal, I fear
e consequences. Is there a dispenser in the
ate who complies with the law? If so, who
he? No, we don't want a dispensary In
eenwood; we don't need it: we are getting
>pg very well without it. One in a county
enough. Some argue that we would get
reutie enough to keep up the expenses of
b town. That might be true, but we would
ther our streets become In the conditlou of
b public roads in Abbeville county as to
ve a dispensary opened In Greenwood. I
Id a dispensary did not destroy the blind
:er. I reiterate that statement. It Is a
lendid cloak for the tiger. Towns that have
spensarles are not watched nor criticised 60
ich as those that haven't a dispensary.
Jr. P. S. Dew left Monday forabuslnops

"If we are to live after death, why Jfl
don't we have some certain knowledge
of it?" said an old skeptic to a clergyman,
"Why don't you have some
knowledge of this world before you
come into it?" was the caustic reply.
Do to-day's duty, fight to-day's temptation,
and do not weaken and distract
yourself by looking forward to things
which you cannot see, and could not "J
understand if you did see them. j

New Judges.

of the formation of new Judicial districts
premature, and tbat no such Increase of
Judiciary la necessary or desirable. Ir
Judges do not clear tbe dockets and pern
their duty as required by law, the prophlng
for tbe members of the Legislature to
is to refuse to re-eleot derelict Judgesy
should put somebody in the place who
