The State hoard of control 1ms
decided to discontmnc the dispensary
at Tir/.ah, the only dispensary
in York county, after
Nov. 1-t. d?>o citizens of the
township petitioned for its removal.
The State hoard of control
ordered the Chester dispensary
closed last Thursday and the re
tuoval of Dispenser MeDaniel. It
appears that the removal of tho^
dispenser was made for incompetency.
Col. Wilie Jones of the '2d
Kegt. S. C. V., has been petitioned
by many prominent business
men of Columbia and tlirouh- I
I
out the State to resign the p< sition :
he holds as colonel of the Regiment
and to resume his position :
as cashier of the Carolina National
Bank 111 our capital city.
And so Major John F. .Jones,
of Blacksburg, is to try for con - i
gress again in this district! Jf, !
when the major first came down
south, hediad espoused Democracy
and gotten himself right on the
. !
nionov utiestion. he would have
probably stood u good chance for (
political preferment That he
has tnanv (pialities that recom- ;
mend him as a representative
there is no question. lint in the
wrong party and wrong as to the
financial issue, and with an opponent
like Finley, his chances in
the sea of polities are not much
better than are the chances of a
cluster of thistle-down in a .
cyclone. ?Yorkvillo Enquirer.
Excellent philosophy from the
Gaffney Ledger: "Since the election
the newspapers have been
kept busy publishing 'cards of
thanks' from the successful, as
well as from many of the unsuc- !
eessful candidates. We hope the
season for ail these pushing 'hanks
it over, and we could wish it not
to return. These cards arc all !
the product of a pernicious scnti- j
ment, that is, that the people '
elect a man to olliec for his own
personal benefit, whereas the true I
principle is, or ought to he, that
they elect him for their own bene- j
fit. We can hardly see how a 1
man with a proper appreciation |
of the duties and responsibilities :
of otliee can believe or feel that
his personal thanks are due the
public for giving him one. We
hope the custom will he abolished, |
for it is in keeping with an idea !
already too prevalent, 'hat office j
is a favor instead of a trust.''
Congratulations to our contemporary
upon its discovery. Why
didn't we all think of that before. !

One great trouble is that the
south buys too much and sells too
little. The balance of trade, so
called, is always against our section.
The necessary consequence
is poverty.

"DISPENSARY DOOMED." j
. I
rhe Author of the System in
South Carolina Admits the
Fact.
Piedmont Headlight. 1
The Columbia State has under-1
taken a very important work in
interviewing the newly eleeted |
legislature as to how they stand
on the dispensary, high license
and prohibition. Not enough
counties have as yet been heard
from to settle the issue, but from
the answers received it looks very
niulh as if the present dispensaryl
law is doomed. The prohibition
sentiment has developed strength, |
while local option seems to lead
the dispensary advocates.
A few days since a Headlight j
reporter conversed with a well 1
posted gentleman from Columbia, i
who is a staunch friend to the
dispensary. We asked him his
opinion as to what the next *e?- I
sion of tho legislature would do j
with the dispensary. lie an-i
swored:
"If it stands at all, the presi
ent 'aw will be so amended and
revolutionized that you wouldn't |
recognize it if you met it in the
road. But 1 would not be sur-1
prised if tho prohibitionists and
the local open advocates united 1
and passed a strict prohibition
la?v for South Carolina. Whenever
tho issue between prohibi- J
tion and the dispensary was made,
prohibition won by a crushing |
majority. In Anderson county I
the people voted direct on tho!
dispensary, local option and pro- I
hihition and prohibition won I
overwhelmingly. If tho friendsi
of tho dispensary save tho law, j
they will have to rally their for* |
cos and work hard. But even;
they will have to submit to revolutionizing
changes in tho present |
law. In the first place, the people
of every county will be per-'
nutted to vote on the issue and j
say whether or not they want a
dispensary established within i
their borders, and I believe that
three-fourths of the counties in
our State will declare for prohibition.
Then the constables must j
go, for there is violent opposition
to them. They had as well begin
to hunt down another job.
Then I believe that the profit
feature of the dispensary law will
be omitted, and the strictest kind
/ i . -
oi regulations thrown around the
sale of Ikjiioi s.
"I uni thoroughly convinced," J
continued tho gentleman, "that'
the dispensary is now managed
honestly and in a business-like
manner. Hut a while buck those
connected with the State dispensary
in Columbia got to fussing
among themselves, and making
serious charges against one an-1
other, and the people were led to
believe that the whole thing was
reeking with corruption, and an |
unjust prejudice was built up |
against the business. These men
in Columbia have simply gone to I
work and killed the goose that
laid them a golden egg manvj
months. I am a staunch friend
to the dispensary, as you know,
and now that the courts have declared
the law constitutional, it
ought to he given a fair trial and ;
no material changes made. Hut
my opinion is that it will take
hard work by the friends of the
dispensary if th?y can save a h
remnant of the law to build upon j(
tgain, after prohibition has proven
impracticable, as it surely \vill
lo."
