MKINCSTON REVIEW. - If prosecutions do not follow irtfie secoud investigation into the affairs ortho dispensary, no fur ther investigation need be made. To keep tab with the House and Senaie, ss to tho ultimate dis position of the hundreds of bills ? that are introduced, would drive io distraction the traditional Philadelphia lawyer. y ?Recent developments appear to Vhave doomed the South Carolina Dispensary. The people of South :JCarolina were patient end long suffering, but they draw the line at having -to pey $1.75 per gallou for whiskey that other people can J buy for $1.35.-Augusta Chroui . .cl*. ?^." Politicians are already looking forward to 1908. Cansler, of Tir S-aahj whom everybody in South ^Carolina knows, says: "Just tell Vern I'll be the first man in the '?'I race niixt-year, aud that I'm com in'g injahead at the homestretch lihirtime." . i What bas become of the anti? ?. cigarette bill that rias introduced . by Senator Blease? Surely not a 1 Bingle voice will be raised in ^either House in opposition to a ^measure, which, if enacted, will : prohibit the sale of cigarettes and cigarette paper io the state. >\ South Carolina has 970,501 :: ;mpre spindles in oj oration than ^any other southern ;:?tatr. North : Carolina bas a greater.number of ? h cort?n mills but they are much smaller than the mills of this |atat?: Spartanbjirg county is the .banner cotton mill county of the south. The total number of mills ^D^hatcouuty is 37, ten of which are the .largest mills in the south. .//"' The poetal authorities in Wash ington are casting about to devise .^aoime nwans of rodacing the cost i of. transmitting .the mails. A cori - eidersblo saving could^be effected by curtailing the quantity of pub lic.-'documents that are sent out tie government. These docu -jonts, wbicb are not read by one r person in a thousand, doubtless r aggregato hundreds of tons in a Ejear. . . it? very unfortunate for the .-farmers that corn has begun to ; advance just at the time when v.they will have to begin buying. : Let us hope that the stimulus > given to corn culture by the phe nomenal success of the Wilham ^ son plan, augmented by the ^awarding of the prize to a South Carolina farmer for the largest %yield per acre, will result in a ?^greatly increased acreage and ^vyield of the cereal this year - in K this state. While South Carolina legisla-1 . .tors are afraid even to make pro vision for marriage licenses, lest > it lead to agitation of a divorce |^wt'- the courts of Georgia are ? ; casting marital bonds asunder at r wholesale rate. Thirty-six cases ??/were beard]in Augusta'on Satur ?;day, and in a majority of the peases total divorce was granted. Georgia, can send her bucket-shops - ?croas the river for a Beason-and .for a season only-but her divorce X mills dare not cross the Savannah! A year ago the old dispensary Aboard waa practically kicked ::-Over-board and new men chosen, ? with the hope that the result - would be at least in a measure a ^purified" dispensary. Wh*t do . we find after the lapse of twelve ^ short months? Without a dts | eenting vote, the general assembly passed a resolution stating "that ? in our opinion the directors of ^fiis.Srate dispensary have viola bX?d the daw in the purchase of | .'.liquors and are" liable to remov al by the -governor and prosecu tion." Away with the delnsiou-. a "purified" dispensary. A bill has beej introduced in creasing the pay of jurors to $2 .and witnesses to $1.50 per day. ?This should become a law, but, if tfcossible, a limit should be fixed tba numb ar of fitnesses Jo be tomoned in a case. Beside? ?frejng unnecessary, it is au im tion upon the laxpayers to mmon a great number of wit ^jteases to prove -seme minor point Cn a-case. Oftentimes persons are summoned who are never placed ?pon the stand. The Advertiser] favors increased pay for witness/ qs and jurors, at leasl enough to defray actual expenses while ip attendance upon csurt, but.op^ poses the summoning of a dozen or more witueFsee, some of whom know absolutely nothiug of tbe facts bearing upon the case. Oppose Whiskey in Every Form. While in conversation with the writer a few days ago, a gentle man remarked tbat The Adverti ser was not fighting liquor but was only opposing the dispensary. Our reply-ono that nae appeared in these* columns many timee-> was that thh newspaper opposes the sale of whiskey in every form-, whether by the individual, county or state. As further, prcof that we are fighting whiskey, we cited the fact that we etontly refuse to ad vertise it, believing that by so doing we would be a means of in creasing the sale and consump tion of whiskey. It it were only the dispensary-that we oppose, and not whiskey itself, these col umns.would to-day contaiu a doz en or more liquor advertisements, from which we would reap several hundred dollars in cold cash On our desk at this moment there lies a $25 contract from a North ?aroliua distiller awaiting our acceptance. Butrit will have to wait a long, long time. Should there^ be any further doubt as to this newspaper's position on the question of tho sale ot liquor as a beverage? Sale Should be Restricted. Th? cocaine evil is becoming alarmingly prevalent, eepfcially in southern towns and cities. Strange to say, tha people of'the south, especially the colored popu lation, seem to be easy victims of this treacherous drug. The very marked increase of iusanity among colored people is attribu ted to the habitual use of cocaine. We do not know what the South Carolina legislature bas done or will do to restrict its Eale, but deem ita matter of sufficient mo ment to demand national legisla tion. Checking the cocaine evil in its incipiency will be less diffi cult than after it gits' a firm bold upou tho people of all classes and of all sections. In Borne of the large cities cocaiue is peddl d on tbe streets. In this connection, let us say in passing, that we were pleased to hear an Edgefield druggist say re cently that he refusos to- sell this powerful drug to tbe general pub lic. He only sells it on e. physi cian's prescription or to responsi ble persons who will use it prop erly. It is doing the colored race a great favor to withhold cocaiue from them. COLD SPRING. Strange things are coining to pass now-a-days. Mr. Charles Jooes is to build a beautiful cot tage, also Mr. Walter Holmes is having a house built. . What do all these things mean? Mrs. Annie Waeh is quite ill at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Tandy Seigler, of Bradley, S. C. Hon. W. T. Slaughter, of Hickory Grove, York county, was here last Saturday and organized a camp of the Woodmen of the World. The officers were duly elected and installed. Several new members have entered the myste ries of woodcraft, Mr. Flavia Graves, of Plum Branch and Miss Chartie Lou West were married at Rose Cot tage yesterday morning at S o'clock by our pastor. " These young people" are very popular with their large circle of friends who wish for them a long and useful life. Mr. and Mrs. Graves left this morning for Pl am Branch, their future home. At Red Hill church, February the 3rd, at ll o'clock, Mr. Butler Hammond, tbe second son of Mrs. Annie Hammond and Miss Mary Cheatham, the only daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs^ W. D. Cbeat ham, were married in the presence of a la$ge congregation by oui pastor, Rev. Littlejohn. These happy young people are at home to their friends at the beautiful home of the groom's mother, Mrs. Annie Hammond.' Many of our people bave set cabbage plants out in their g&r denB for early spring use. Tbe recent warm rains have greatly improved the looks of the grain. Mr. W. H. Quarles sent hie pastor a large fresn ham. Many thanks. - Mr. Preston Stone has a bed ol cabbage plants of his own raising large enough to be transplanted. M.
