APRIL ?5, 190 If y ou wish success in life, mal perseverance your bosom frien > experience your wise counsello caution your elder brother, ai ' hope yoar guardian ansel.-A DISON. An Indiana pr? acbex, says Washington Po.V, fears that th? will not be enough men in heavi to sing bass in tbs choir. Tb will probable bs discussiug a c strike in another plao?. There is a prevalent but m taken idea that nothing but c ton can be profitably grown up a large scale in the south. Ne Beaufort, this state, there is a 1 ty acre truck farm from whi $10,000 worth of vegetables ba been shipped this year. The pi prietors Ol this farm b?ing uort om mun, it see.ns to require Ya kee ingenuity to reveal to sout eruers the golden opportuuiti that lie at our very doors. Sue") legislation may be an i fiiugemeut upou individual rigb and. liberty, but would it uot well for the legislature, at eon leisure time when there is not hil else before the "hous*", to ena a law prohibiting "hot suppers It would be doing the colored pe pie a favor to deprive them these very swell functions, f their invariable accompaniment afuueralor two. His Majesty the Nether World is all smil when he can get men and wornt and liquor and pistols together * a "hot supper." Aiken county minus two dusky citiz3us, bot being recent victims of thes? SJ! urday night debauches. It is hoped that Senator Tillma has not overlooked tbis late stink coming fiom the state di pensary. The investigating con mittee asked for a list of Ibe pu chases made at the last rn .ie tin of the state board, and the boar refused to give it. That looks ba< On the other baud the friends c , the board charge that members c the investigating committee wat certain liquor dealers favored i the matter of purchases. The stat dispensary has given off bad ode from the day it was establishec and it will always do so. It mut ? be abolished -Anderson Mail. It is somewhat difficult to hau die the institution without som one throwing suspicions on yoi It should be abolished.-Newberr Herald and News. Thirteen years of practical op ??\y aeration have been ample to prov the Htate dispensary system to b a miserable failure, of which th great masses of people are full . cognizant. It has not been th "step'' toward prohibition that it founders promised it would b< every means possible, both fai and foul, having been employe to increase the sale of liquoi Even aB a money making scheme the prime purpose for which i was established, the di6pousar; has been a gigantic failure. Larg debts have been unlawfully in curred, exorbitant prices hav been paid for liquor and supplies all of which have made great iu roads into the net profits. Tb system bas wrought great detri ment to the morals of the stats not only'through the debauching - influence of liquor but tbrougl the graft and corruption inciden' to its management". Havo thc peo pie any assurance of better thingt in future? Absolutely uoue. S( we say. with thousands of others -let the system be abolished and consigned to oblivion. The assignment of Clarence Thrailkill, who killed Ben Burton in Saluda county, to duty on the poor house farm on account of ill health, instead of placing him on the chain gang has created con siderable comment, and is yet un settled. Being sentenced to. three years at hard labor upon the pub lic works of Saluda county or im prisonment in the jail or peniten tiary, complaint was made to Governor Heyward that Thrailkill was not properly serving bis sen tence. The Governor referred the v matter to Solicitor Cooper for in vestigation, who reported that in bis judgment it is *'not carryirg out the sentence of the court." Governor Heyward, has asked for an opinion from tbe attorney gen eral before acting. A county farm may, in ? sense, be public works but certainly not the public works contemplated in the statute pro viding punishment for the crime of which Thrailkill bas been con victed. There in no odium con nected with working on the coun ty farm ; no guards are on duty, and while thus employed one's liberty is Lut* little curtailed. Al lowing au individual convicted o* crime to e* rve a sentence in this manner is a dangerous precedent. "V*ery soon we would have so many "disabled" convicts that th? chain gangs would be depleted and the poorhouse'fafn>. would have ti be enlarged. / Favori Paying The Alliance Es change Fund to Dr. W. H. Tim* merman. Editor Advertiser: I bavf ..otic? d the card of Capt. S. M. Smith, former presidnnt of the Edgefield County Alliance in which he calls attention to the fact that there will be on hand .toon, a sum approximating $900. 00, belonging to the disbanded Sub-Alliauces of Edgefield county is th;* county's distributive share .>f the Alliance Exchange capital. He further states tbe utter ini possiblity of showing by auy re cord to whom and tow this fund ia to be distributed, aud even if il oould be it would amount to but a few c -nts'per capita. The sug gestion made by him that Dr. Fimm?rman be re-imbursed as far as the fuud will go, for the judg ments he had to pay because he ?igued bis name as President ol the Farmers Mutual Fire Associa tion of Edgefield county, is oue that will appeal to every fair minded man who belonged to the Association. I am familiar with all the fae's m connection with tho two suits as my firm represented the Plain ! tiffs in both cases. A large num ber of farmers of the couuty feel ing that au unjust fire insurance rate was beiun charged by the old liue compauies and bad juBt causo for so believing, they sought to org'iniz'? au association of their own. They were honestly under the impression that tho as sociation bed been legally char tered but such waB not the case. The fact that Dr. Tiinmerraan -igned his name as preeidfut of the association when as a matter ot law no such corporation existed made him personally liable for loeses that occurred and it was so decided by the courts. It was shown at the trial that Dr. Tim merman never received a dollar for discharging the duties as president and when the courts de cided in favor of the plaintiffs be paid the judgments and cobts. Tue plaintiffs of course were entitled to the amount of their policies as' Ihey had regularly aud promptly paid their premiums. Reepecl fully, Jas. H. Tillmau Mr. Calhoun Opposes License Sys tem of Raising Revenue. Editor Advertiser: It is cur rently reported that in order to raise a sufficient ' reveuue for municipal purposes for the next year, th "re will be au effort made to raise that revenue so far as it can be done by the license syBtem, and then to supplement that by a property tax to^aiee tLe deficiency. That is neither a ju6t uor an equitable plan as it would be very light on those who have much of this world's goods and oppressivo on those who have not but little. To illustrate. I would cali at tention to the fact that under a liceuse system, onr banks, presi dents and officers, all m?n of means, would not have to pay any license except one who as a law yer would have to pay a nominal sum while being the richest-man in town-. I mean nothing personal in roy illustrations." I have to use them to make plain my meaning. There can be no graded license system, grading the licenses of each class of business according to the amount of capital invested or business done. All banks, all merchants, all lawyers, all doc tors in .their respective classes must pay the same amounts, and such would have to be the case with all classes. That is the rule in other towns, aud it is the law. Under the license system, our banks with a capital stock each, of about $60,000 CO would possi bly have to -pay $100.00 wbicb would be a very small percentage on its business while the small merchant would have to pay a liceuse of fifty or even ten dollars would be paying a very largo per centage as compared with the banks. With a nine mills levy, those same banks would have to pay several hundred dollars in laxes while the small merchant would have to pay a nominal sum, but, the payments would be equitable and in accordance with the riches of each. That is the only equita ble plan. A property tax is best as then al.l would have to pay ac cording- to what they have and there would be no discrimination. Justice and fairness demand that this matter be looked into iu its proper light : and before couocil adopts such a drastic measure, it would be wise for it to ask to bear argument on the sub ject. The figures given by me are, of course, surmises simply used to illustrate what I had to say. I have no idea as to what amounts council would adopt ; but, from what bas been said the conclusion can be reached that a license sys tem would favor those who have much and oppress those who have little. I write this article in good faith, my aim being to put the matter before tbe people and coun cil in the light that I see it. Wm. P. Calhoun. COLD SPRING.
