Merely Stated a Fact Without Drawing Any Conclusions. Tlio State, 30th, nit. Last Saturday there n'us considerable discussion in the house over a hill to permit county dispensers to ho olpptfwl !W county officials ure chosen. The discussion took wide range and one or two members directed their remarks at the apparent paternalism of the present sys* tetn, and urged the decentralization of power. i The report of Mr. T. V. \Yil-l Hams' remarks as published in Tile Slate contained the follow- ( iog. "lie charged on good authority that the State dispensury authorities have been sending liquor throughout the State to intlueneo elections aud this liquor has been sent through tho county hoards who were appointed by tho State board.'' This was a natural construction placed on Mr. Williams' remarks by a great many who heard tlicm. Yesterday, arising to a point of personal privilego, ho declared that ho had not laid this charge at the door of the 1 Ci-i- 1 - ... oiuiu uispcnsary, out bo would not withdraw his remarks that liquor had been so used. By whom sent, he did not know, Mr. Williams said yesterday: "1 sun informed, Mr. Speaker, that there in an impression provailing that in tho discussion of the bill of tho gentleman f:om Aiken providing for the eleetiou "of county boards of control aud : county dispensers by tho peo ! pic that 1 made the direct ehargo | that tho State board of control ! had shipped whiskey into tho various counties in this State for j the purpose of influencing prU i mavyelections; and what 1 said, ' Mr. Speaker, was that 1 was inI 1-! ?

Who sent it is simply v matter of conjecture. I do not know who ! sent it. The statement was that it had been 6cnt, and I so stated it. I do not not rise to correct anything that 1 said, for everything that I said wa? absolutely true, but simply to cdirect an impression that was made as to what I did say.''

"Yes," ho replied, emphaticul ly, "It is far more grave. Th< education of the negroes and tin i growth of n now generation win never kuew slavery changes tin aspect 01 the race question and makes it more serum, because in the past wo had to ?*eal with tho problem purely as a political and industrial one, but now it has beeotno an issue of a social kind, which is infinitely more difficult to deal with, because men oenso to reason, become fanatical and liable to ?o to any extremes when they get involved in social or religious struggles. "The best friends of tho negro are the people of tho South, who understand tho situation thoroughly and are willing and anxious to see the negro a good citizen. Tho hope of the negro is to keep out of politics and devote themselves to their industrial and intellectual betterment. As soon us they acquire property and education they cease to bo regarded as 11 danger to tho body politic, and their political and social status will be adjusted in a natural way. "To force their social advancement before their industrial and intellectual improvement is to put tho cart boforo the horse. The true friend of tho negro in the North can best help him by seeming to better his industrial and in tcllectual condition and by teaching him to let social and political J aspirations alone."
