Wednesday, Aug. 16, 1905. Tlie I-iqnor Itusluess. The Press and Banner supports the dls pensary law : Because of tbe restrictions which it placet around the sale of liquor. Because It sells no liquor to be drunk on the premises. Because it sella for cash, which cash condition, is a restriction of the sale. Because property may not be pledged for the payment of whiskey. Because we believe the quality Is purer than that which was formerly sold by bar rooms. Because the measure ofthe fluid is honest The bottle contains the amount aR represented. Because the dispensary is closed at 6unsel and remains closed uptll sunrise, thus glv lng prohibition for that length of time, instead of the open bar until a late hour ai night. Because tbe dispensary is closed on Sunda> which was not always the case with the sld< doors of the barroom. Because the profits of the liquor buslnesi is put into tbe public treasuries instead o: into tbe pockets of individuals. We oppose high license : Because It oflers no single advantage ovei the dispensary. Because it puts the business which is most dangerous to the morals and health of the people out of tbe hands of the government and Into the band of a rich citizen to the ex olnslon of the poor man from competition. Because, If the government is true to tbt people it must give a supervision of the con< duct of the licenstd dealers, even as it does ol the dispensary. Because the rich licensed dealers must push tbe sales of liquor In order to make a profit on bis investment, and any Increase of sale 1e to diminish tbe bapplneBS and comfort of tbe bomee. Became blgb license ofiers tbe greatest possible inducement to fraud and extortion In price. We honor and support Senator Tillman ic any effort to uphold the dispensary law Under bis control as Governor be sold lest and we bad less liquor drinking and less drunkenness than at any other time. We honor blm for bis upright cbaractei and temperate life. We honor him for bis clean band? in nevei having taken a dishonest dollar, either ic Colombia or in Washington. We honor him for bis ability and fearless ness in standing for tbe right, as he sees li and be generally sees it right. Bat Mr. Tillman pales us beyond degrei when he would encourage the rabble to drini liquor. When be says the Bible does not dl?coun tenance the drinking of liquor aDd thai it does not set its seal of condemnatloi on the act of riotous living. When he talk6 of the profits In the llquo) or business aa an excuse or necessity for In temperance. When he taaches people to enter upon t cause that wrecks annually perhaps a. mil lion homes Id the United States, and in th< same time sends half a million drunkards t( unhonored graves. ' When he Beems to forget that the dlspen sary la properly a r'etardent of the sale o liquor and not essentially or chiefly a monej maklDg institution. When he do^s not tell us, when be quotei the Bible as authority and encouragement for liquor driokiDg, that Moses and Aaron that Peter and John uever saw or heard o corn liquor. " When he does not tell us that the lnsplrec writers of the Bible never heard of opium 01 ' cocaine. When In speaking of the Holy Book, b< n does not tell us that the Bible would keei our feet from dangerous patbB and our foo prints from devious ways. When be spaeks lightl.Y of the tfinrhlnen o the Bible In reference to temperance and sobrlely. .We would prefer to see: A bar room on every hill, and a still a! every ?priDg.tban to see our people Inspired with the belief that tbey can with saletj tamper with intoxicating liquors and partake of the stuplfying drugs which are .todaj everywhere offered. The holy prophets wbc wrote the Bible, if on e?rth today, would cer talnly have reference to the temptations and the dangers wbich now beset us on everj band, and wbich were unknown to them ir their day. The perplexing question Is: What profit if any, should be charged, oc the tale of liquor. If it is sold at cost, we encourage the sale and no temperance man would do that. If we cbarge a bigb price, the profit is greal and the fear is that it may be regarded as a m jney-maklng concern. We lavorhigh price: Because the high price reduces the saW and we think the less liquor a man gets foi niB money tbe belter oil be is nine times oul of ten. Be Fair. The dispensary Investigating committee al Spartanburg unearthed dlsgracetui proceed logs on tbe part of tbe local dispensary That was right. The temperance men are glad at the prop, pect of correcting the evil that has crept intc tbe dispensary business. The high license men are presumed to re Joice at tbe discovery of the low standard ol Integrity In the officers and take their inlqu'. tous conduct as sufficient grounds for abolishing tbe Institution. The fair thing for this committee to do 1b not to Investigate only evildoers, but learn facta in reference to tbe honest and trustworthy dispensers in other counties. It Is neither fair nor Just to guage tbe integrity of the best by the venality of tbe worst. If there is a worse set than at Spartanburg tbey deserve a commission to tbe big institution on tbe Congaree. Deal fairly, geulletm u. Examine the good as well as tbe bad. Without the Ai?l of a Physician. Somebody has recently written an interesting account of hie visit to the Pendleton cemetery. Mention was made of the grave of Governor Frank Burt who was the first Governor of Nebraska. He was appointed to this position by the President. When he was taken sick tbe physician assured blm that ills Illness would end fatally. He replied. "If this Illness is to end fatally, I will take no more medicine," and so be lingered to the end, dying without the aid of a physician.

During a recent visit to Atlanta we saw Mr. Brock ol Honea Hath, who Is a good merchant and a good all round man anyway. As soon as we were ofl the train, newsboys presented tneir evening papers. The sellers of the News, which some Irreverent people call the Red Headed Paper, was offered at one cent. The Journal boys, knowing that we were a country greenhorn, asked us five cents for that copy and cited the printed price at the head of the papers to justify his claim. We paid the live cents as we did on a former occasion. Mr. Fuller who was the polite and gentlemanly Seaboard station agent at this place was among tUe uutnber of acquaintances that . we met on the street. We asktd how our youug friend, Mr. Dendy Miller at this place j was getting on, and his answer was so good we lear that It would turn his head and that it would make all the girls run after him, If we told what Mr. Fuller said. We saw Mr. Plerson who buys cotton at Anderson. He says that he bought 2,000 bales in July for export. We saw Mr. Balwln, the leader of the band at Abbeville a few years ago. He Is looking well, and took a friendly Interest in recommending to us a cheap boarding house. We met Mr. Walter Vlsanski, the lawyer. t whose nativity was In Abbeville. He looked solemn and was not very communicative. His brother Dr. S. A. Vlsanska is dolDg well t lu Atlanta. We wished to Bee him but did not meet him. ( , We saw Mr. T. Bcacham who married Miss , Sue Rutledge of this city. They have nine living children. Several of them married. s We have lorgotten the number of grand chllr dren. Mrs. Dorn, sister-in-law of Mr. Beacham was married before she left Abbeville. Her bUBband 1b on the police force of one ol the Georgia cities. The colored man, Will Edwards who was once in the employ of Mr. Russell, bailed us I from the carriage which be was driving. He > was dresstd up like a Georgia mpjor, looking well in his nice clothes and tan shoes. Having finished our business in the city, we paid our bill at the hotel when the porter > turned us over to a bach man. He carried us to the wrong depot, and another hackman ! carried us over to the right depot, the Seaboard. When we were within fifty yards ol i the place the train moved out. We checked crrln onH fiplf O hnijlffltlon In buck tO i itie hotel, aDd thought we would loaf around i until the next train left. At three o'clock we were to tired that we returned to the hotel : and registered again. The clerk said some' i thing about the European plan for a few hours and gave us a ticket which indicated t hat the room charge was 81.50. About seven o'clock we presented our ticket at the pay ' window and put in our SI 50. The clerk this time wa6 a very pretty young woman. She ' took pity on a poor old man and handed back ' tlfty cents. At the train we were glad to meet Mr. and r Mrs. W. P. Greene, who were homeward bound. They had left home early in the morning and after spending a few hours In ' the city were ready to return at nine o'clock (our time.) When we left Atlanta the coach was well 1 filled witb passengers, and they all seemed to be behind on water. By the time we reached Winder the crowd had thinned out very } much. Among the last to leave the coach t was a woman with four children. Two or three of them were fast asleep. Before reach. ing the station where they were to get off the ( oldest boy put a handkerchief under the ( water cooler. When wet with Ice water he rubbed it over the face of his sleeping broth, ere. After this performance bad been gone over several times they began to show signs of life, but tbey didn't ory. That was a new ( way to wake children. j The ''Me Too#." In the last few days there has been a deal - of virtuous talk, If not of hypocritical court, ' In criticising the Spartanburg Journal for ' selling space to the dispensary people. A dirtier pool than that discovered at 5 Spartanburg would be hard to find. A more t shameless exposure of unusual. If not crlmln, al, use of money we have never known. ' It seemed that offices were secured by the use of money, and that a whole lot of people 1 over that way bad their price?and a very r cheap price at that. The strange part of It is, the great haste which the participants In ? this graft made to tell on themselves and on ) each other. t There can be no doubt of tbe need of a change in the managers of the dispensary in f Spartanburg. But we do not admit that tbe Journalism of South Carolina is disgraced because of tbe act of.any one man. And we do not admit that the dispensary should be abolished because of corruption In Spartanburg. If we had 1 high license tbe evils might not be reduced, 1 even in Spartanburg. ' While we would not justify any wrong doing on the part of Mr. Henry, we have no sympatny witn any evidence o! persecution. > It may be that Mr. Henry Is the only news paper to sell space to dispensary folk, and It > may be that hlB accusers have sold no space ' for any purpose at all. It may be that bis i accusers throw their columns open to'poll. ticl ans to Insert self-praise as reading matter, and do It free. We do not see the Journal and do not know bow far that paper may have sidestepped, but assumlug that be Is ' guilty of the worst conduct possible, we do not think It manly or brave for everybody to ' jump on blm at one time. Tbe fact Is, admitting that he sold space to the dispensary people, be may be for all that 1 we know, just as honest, just as good, and just as worthy of public respect as some of bis accusers, who may not have sold Bpace to the dispensaries. It may be that space In , some of their papers was not wan ted. t A Chorus of Praine for Fiaser Iyon. A great many of both the dally and weekly newspapers that have come to this office during tbe past week, have contained words of I praise lor J. Fraser Lyon as a member of the Dispensary Iovesication Committee. Tbe fluttering comments touohing blm would have turned tbe bead of a less sensible . man, but we fear nosucb results with him. > He is seeking no office and would gladly have declined the position on this committee, but with blm to undertake the work could f mean only to do his whole duty without fear . or favor. While bis fearless work has been no more tuan DIB mends nave expected. It Is gratifying to those friends to And that It has been appreciated by tbe people of the Stale, Irrespective of their feeling toward the dispen siry. As was said in these columns months ego, Mr. Lyon ir a friend of the dispensary, but he is the relentless enemy of corruption. This paper doee not agree with many of tbe papers ol the State that the development ol corruption here and there is fatal to the dispensary. Cleansing It Is tbe life of It. We would tave tbe dispensary from corruption but not In It. Temperance people who stBDd by the die pensary hs tbe best method of controllng a uecessaiy evil, are grateful lor tbe work of tbe comtii ittee, so let tbe light be tbtown on, The committee, however, should not confine lis Invest igatlon 10 Spartanburg: tbey should in fairm-HR report conditions as found In other counties. A man Is usually judged by the \vor*t act in his life, so here if the in vesti gntion rests witli Spartanburg, tbe dispensary syMein must bf judged by tbe worst state of things that could be found in any oounty. I: Is a matter of regret, if, because of limited means, they can not Investigate good and bad alike, for It is the whole condl. tlon that the prople would have reported. v*i I ! * EAST END.

The following is the report of Cokesbury District for the year ending March, 1905: My dear Co-Workers, The year nineteen hundred and four is numbered with the past, and with joy and gladness I find myself full over the results of our year's work. We have 30 auxiliaries with 235 members, four golden Link Societies, with 104 members, and 11 Juvenile Societies with 241 members. We have 22 life members, 156 subscribers to the W. M. Advocate and 125 subscribers to the Little Worker. We have raised this year for contingent $54.30; for Bible Woman's fund, $60; for pledge, $297.21: for fifth missionary $129.55; lectureship, $24.90; silver jubilee, $1.80; dues, $041.34. Total $1,209.10. Our district has grown financially as well as numerically, having raised one hundred dollars more this year than the past year. Have had one auxiliary organized at Bethelem, Cokesbury Circuit, with fifteen members and 12 W. M. Advocates taken; also at the same place a Juvenile Society was organized with 11 members and 11 f-ubscribers to the Little Worker. Both of these societies have good officers and have begun work in earnest. The Juvenile Society at Honea Path was reorganized witn memoers ana JO subscribers lo the Little Worker. A society of Golden Links was recently organized at Newberry by Mrs. J. W. Humbert with 8 members. The Golden Links at O'Neals, Newberry, has not made any report for three quarters They are practically dead, or at ease. The Juvenile Society at Hodges is dead, which giVes us a loss of 26 members. The Juveniles have raised their apportionment in full, in fact the entire obligation for the district bas been met. Duly two Bible Women are being supported by our South Carolina Conference. One of these is supported by the Greenwood societies. This Bible Woman, now in China, cannot speak English, but teaches in her own language, except what she learns from her husband, who teaches her English at night. The pupils Hock about her, eager to learn the English which her husband imparts to her. Greenwood is still the banner society, both numerically and financially, Abbeville stands next, and Newberry third, with Only a dollar or two behind, Lowudesville has the best of all.

I.j onfi Has Been Register of the Trean nry Eight Years, Which Itt Though Long Enough.

Look upon matrimony as devoid ol seriousness and responsibility. Takfe up the time of others with stories which overflow with incriminations. Think they have the right to say what they please to a man. Be too ready to accept favors from men of their own sphere. Make a great display of jewlery in places not in keeping therewith. Go too far in the way of practical joking with young chape. Show a wish to figure in affairs which are above their finances. Imagine that spontaneous admiratlous is genuine afi'eclion. Discuss subjecls with men which belong entirely to women. Fall into the habit of talking about the failures of others. Our Coca Cola 18 better this year than ever before.
