" - r The public earnestly hopes that the peace conference will uot be as long agreeing upon terms of peace as Port Arthur was fall mg. The ADVERTISER is unalterably opposed to the sale of intoxicating liquors as a be\ erage, whether sold lawfully or unlawfully, by the state or the individual. Russia, riot and revolution are synonyms these day e.-Orange burg Patriot. Is not this alliteration also wi apropos at this juncture: Hum, rottenness and repudiation. After hearing arguments pro and con Judge Aldrich has deci ded that another election, upon the*formation of Heyward county, cannot be held under four years from the date of th** former one. Such a statement au this con cerning the dispensary from BO high an. authority as Senator Till man is both interesting and sig-j nificant: "The people believe there is corruption and a great deal of it. Very many things go "to?how that this belief has good foundation in fact." -When the "leak" in the agri cultural department of the gov ernment was stopped one em ployee was discharged. - Wonder h?-w many dispensary officials and employees would havt been dis charged throughout the past dec ade had all of the "leaks" in the dispensary been stopped ? ? ?. Graft Unearthed in Dispensary. It has been aujpectedr^oT^s?me^ imo that certain' liquor dealers who sell their goods to the state dispensary were paying the coun ty dil pensers to push their brands of liquor. Commissioner Tatum ha* made a discovery which proves that there was ground for suspi cion. He has found that some cases of goods contained a greater number of bottles than were billed to or paid for by the state dis pensary. This excess would be come the property of the county dispenser to whom the whiskey was; shipped, who would either drink or sell it and put the money in his pocket, instead of the cash drawer. On opening tho cases of whiskey! that yet; remained in the Btate dispensary Mr. ?rftffc found $3,000 worth ^p^wrSRy that had not been invoiced. It is tl^fcrsfact that some cojun^^Ms^ensers have been paid Sands of dollars to increase the sales of certain branda of liquor, and, as a matter of course, this money was taken out of the quality of the liquor. If this form of graft has been conducted in the broad open daylight, so to Bpeak, think of what probably has been done in the dark hours and in "executive sessions." Good Results From The Cotton * Growers Association. - Those who have all along con tended that the Southern Cotton Growers Association would ac complish nothing for the produ cers of the staple must now retract and forever hold their peace. Had Mr.' Cheatham, the secretary of this gigantic organization, made complaint, in an individual ca pacity to Secretary Wilson, to the effects that advance informa tion concerning the government reportB waB being furnished to cer tain Wall Street brokers, he would have been unheeded ; but having filed the complaint as the official representative of hundreds 'of thousands of farmers the matter was immediately taken nuder consideration and an investiga tion ordered. The allegation was found to be true, and not only was the dishonest offi cial, summarily dismissed but the system of compiling the reports, has been re-organized and is now safeguarded so as to pre ve ut a re currence of the "leak" in future. So much foi the tangible, visible fruits resulting from the concerted action of the farmers. There is no way- of computing the great good thai cannot be discerned with the .yel People Unwilling to Wait. In his letter upon the dispensa ry situation Senator Tillman ad vises the people, before voting GU' the dispensaries,- to wait and see .'whether or not the legislature, at its uext session, will purge the corruption out of the dispensary system and put safeguards around it fer the future." We believe that the people are uuwilling to wait, for the follow ing reasons : 1. They have but little hope that the next legislature will af ford any relief. The last legisla ture, in which the pro-dispensary influence was dominant, refused to revise or amend the law ; that, too, in the face of the open charges of corruption, which charges were as true then &B now. . 2. The personnel of the next legislature will be the same as thet last; the same dispensary leaders in the Senate and House ; the same members of these bodies to vote as voted last year; i the same dispensary employees to distribute free liquor among the law-makers; the same wholesale liquor dealers and distiller to fur nish this free liquor. Why ex pect any relief from such a source ? 3. The people are uuwilling to j wait another year because they desire the matter settled while the "dispensary" or "no dispensary" question is divested of politics. During an off-year, politically speaking, the .voters cat: quietly without any passion or prejudice -express their wishes. It is now a moral question and they desire that it ba settled as such. If its settlement be postponed till an other year, when mon are scram bling for office, it will be made a political issue and will not tben be considered dispassionately. In other words, we believe the people of this county want the liquor question voted upon apart from men and politics. COLD SPRING. The union meeting will be held at Red Hill church on Saturday before the fifth Sunday in this month. We trust that all the churches that compose this union will be represented. We hope to have a great meeting. The Edge field Baptist Sunday School con vention will convene with the Gilgal church before the 4th Sunday in this month.

He must spend nine dollars in living expenses for every dol lar saved. That being the case he cannot be too careful about un necessary expenses. Very often a few cents properly invested, like buying seeds for his garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the .same in buying Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
