Enfield Advertiser . Ti'OS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, JAN. 25. ABOUT THE DISPENSARY. The Columbia correspondent of the News ahd Courier has the fo1 ' lowing item as to proposed changes in the dispensary law : There has been some informal consultation about bills relative to the liquor question and several bills are understood to be in course of preparation. It is understood that one of the leading up-country members and one who has consid erable following" will present a bill something like this: Do away with the State dispen sary. Establish county dis'pensars, under county authorities entirely, as to management, purchase and| the like. Prohibition in such counties as want and vote for it. No provision is made for any stfrt of license system. There are many other bills on this line in incubation, and what will come out of it all is problematic. . It is likely that after the elec tions there will be several bills presented relating to the liquor question. THE NICARAGUA CANAL. The Nicaragua Canal bill passed the United States Senate on Satur day last by an almost unanimous vote, Only six senators voting against it. The company is authorized to contract for the completion of the canal within six years. The pay ments are restricted to $20,000,000 annually. The canal is to be large enough "for the largest sea going vessels at a cost not to exceed the estimates of the engineers and not to exceed $115,000,000." This amount is made a permanent appropriation for the work, to be used as occasion may require. The bill gives the government a lien upon the property to secure 'the repayment of the moneys advanced and the president is empowered to declare forfeiture of the property to the United States without the ?ial or other ?. '>. : hereafter full . . ie government .

The neutrality of the canal is guaranteed, but the right to protect it against the interruptions of business between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States is reserved. .J5TAY AWAY FROM CUJiA. In a personal letter from Major John Gary Evans, now in Cuba, he gives some interesting facts about his work, and shows that the craze for office-holding exists in Cuba as well as in South Caro lina. He writes as follows, among other things : "I am very sorry that the newspapers have given a wrong idea of the position I hold, as it has flooded me with lettefs from all the State for positions, etc. I am not what you ?would call a mayor in civil life. I am simply on the staff of Major Gen Ludlow, Governor of the district of Havana, and have been assigned to the duty of organizing government. The fir?.t thing, of course to be done is the organization of a polio force, and this we are now doing and will have in effect in a few days, Next comeB the municipal Courts, and this I am to take up next. The responsibility is much greater than that of civil mayor, as you will understand. I ho]ie, however, to pull it through successfully. I appreciate the compliment very .much, as it came entire unexpectly, andi had not at the time an acquaintance with the General. I have tried to do my duty as a sold ier even though holding a subordinate position, and I am proud of the fact that it has been satisfactory so far to my command ing generals. I wish you would say through the papers what I enclose herewith, as it will save me lots of Annoyance from adveutrer3 and office-seekers, ^his is a remarkable country, as rich as the valley of the Nile, but the people are a Borr^ lot;, lazy and don't care whether they have more than on day's rations ahead. The little nigs go naked, because they prefer it, and not from poverty." The statement which Major m in im m ?fi Evans Trishes published read?: "I am in receipt of communica tions daily from South Carolinians desiring to know something of Havana and the prospect here of success in business enterprises. It will be impossible for me to answer all of these letters as my time is almost entirely absorbed by my official duties. My advice to all such is to stay at home for the present. Everything here is in a formative stage and prices are abnormally high. The people seem to think that Americans are made of money, and they pay accordingly for what they get. When the Gaverument is formed matters will settle down to a reasonable basis and then will be enough to visit the i?Jand. This JS a splendid country and will soon bloom as a regular garden, but 'after aU there is no place like .South Carolina." A few doses of Dr. M. A. Sim mons L.ver Medicine will do more for" a Weak Stomach than a prolonged course of any other medicine. OUT OF POLITICS NOW. At Gov. McMillin's inaugura tion on Monday Gov. Taylor de livered himself of the. following parting shot : "Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gen tlemen : I am about to shuffle off this mortal coil of politics and fly away to the heaven of my native mountain, where I may think and dream in peace, safe from the sick ening sting of unjust criticism; safe from the talons of some old political vulture; safe from the slimy kiss of hypocrisy and the keen dagger of ingratitude. "I do not mean to say that all politicians are vultures or that all politicians are vultures or that they are hypocrites or assassins; for the great majority of our pub lic men are up-right and honest, and worthy of the confidence re posed in them by the people; yet there are black wings in the politi cal firmament, and reptiles crawl ?nd hiss in every. capital, ?ut. thank God, the live thunders of eternal truth always clear the at mosphere, and the heel of justice will surely bruise the serpent's head. ' . "I do not retire from this high office with the rankling of disap pointment and chagrin in my bosom, but rather as one who re tires from labor to rest; from war to peace ; from trouble to happi ness. .4T Ar* ?nt. retim tbs so^'iam oulist of a scattered dream, but with all the buds of hope bursting into bloom and all the bowers of the future ringing with melody. I am contented with my iot in life. Three times I have worn the laurel wreathe of honor, twined by the people of my native State, and that is glory enough for me. "While, I believe that the good in politics outweighs the bad, yet how thorny is the path and how unhappy the pilgrimage to him who dares to do his duty ! There ara no flowers except the few bou quets snatched from the graves of fallen foes ; there is no happii -rn except the transient thrill of cruel triumph, which passes like a shad ow acrosfa the heart. "Every honest man who runs for office' is a candidate for trou ble ; for the fruits of political vic tory turn to ashes on the lips. "To me, there is nothing in this world so pathetic as a candidate. He is like a mariner without a compass, drifting on the tempest tossed waves of uncertainty, be tween the smiling cliffs of hope and the frowning crags of. fear. He is a walking peition and a living?prayer ; he is|a packhorse of public sentiment; he is the drome dary cf politics. ^And even if he rei* ..ios the goal of his ambition, he will Boon feel the beak of the vulture in his heart, and the fang jof the serpent in his soul. "I am no longer a candidate. Never again will I be inaugurated into public office. The ark of my humble public career now rests on the Ararat of paivate life. I stand on its peaceful summit and look down on the receding flood of politice. The dove of my destiny has brought me an olive branch from happier fields, and I go thence to laboi and to love. "I take with me a heart full of gratitude and a soul full of prec ious memories; gratitude to the people for their unwavering confidence in me ; precious mem ories of my friends who have been kind and true. "The record that I have mad' is an open book to all. I a* willing to die by it. For whate vi mistakes I have committed, I } jav kept steadily in view the ho; Jor ( the state and the bappinesf . 0f y, people. "As I have already * pre8ente my views on public qu eBtious i my recent message to tT ue Geuert Assembly, I deem it UUDeCe88ar to further discuss t hem on t?j happy occasion-ha ppy toour nQ\ Governor; happy ' l0 you; bapp to us all. 1 "It only remy u8 for me to bi you all an affectionate and fipa? farewell, and to extend to yon che prayer that the Christ who died for love and mercy's Bake will guide our Chisf Executive; and all who shall follow him in the paths of peace and love, and bapteze them with the spirit of mercy. Farewell! Farewell!" "I now have the distinguished honor to close the scene, so far as Lam concerned. Benton McMillin has given his heart and hand to Tennessee. I now pronounce them man and wife-and may the Lord have mercy on their BOUIB. To change the figure-the United State boasts of a Hobson, who sunk the Merrimac, but Tennessee has a "Merry Mac' that proudly floats on the billowE-our own Benton McMillin." W. H. Nisbet.
