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.

Souit* of the Folk Wluuii tli?* Kilitor
Saw in tlie City.
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.

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.

Cokeabury District.
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 $1,209.10.
Our district has grown financially as
well as numerically, having raised one
hundred dollars more this year than
the past year. Have had one auxiliary
organized at Bethelem, Cokesbury
Circuit, with fifteen members and
12 W. M. Advocates taken; also at the
same place a Juvenile Society was organized
with 11 members and 11 f-ubscribers
to the Little Worker. Both
of these societies have good officers
and have begun work in earnest. The
Juvenile Society at Honea Path was
reorganized witn memoers ana JO
subscribers lo the Little Worker. A
society of Golden Links was recently
organized at Newberry by Mrs. J. W.
Humbert with 8 members. The Golden
Links at O'Neals, Newberry, has
not made any report for three quarters
They are practically dead, or at
ease. The Juvenile Society at Hodges
is dead, which giVes us a loss of 26
members.
The Juveniles have raised their apportionment
in full, in fact the entire
obligation for the district bas been
met. Duly two Bible Women are being
supported by our South Carolina
Conference. One of these is supported
by the Greenwood societies. This Bible
Woman, now in China, cannot
speak English, but teaches in her own
language, except what she learns from
her husband, who teaches her English
at night. The pupils Hock about her,
eager to learn the English which her
husband imparts to her.
Greenwood is still the banner society,
both numerically and financially,
Abbeville stands next, and Newberry
third, with Only a dollar or two
behind, Lowudesville has the best of
all. With only fifteen members, they
rai ed ^80.25. Their pro rata share
being$o.3o. New Chapel, St. Pauls,
Salem, Lebanon, Newberry Circuit,

They have all done good work.
