To the Editor of the Dispatch: These are the times that try the manhood and womanhood of our State, and shall the sons and daughters of South Carolina prove themselves wanting, in this hour of their State's dire pelil and distress 1 Years ago when prohibitionists weie making desperate efforts in behalf of their cause, many well meaning men who otherwise would have supported prohibition, accepted the compromise of the dispensary Jaw, like all compromises this proved an ignominious failure. It is but due to say that the law has never had a fair trial, and that the very men elected to carry out and enforce the law, themselves gave it the death blow, for never has more falsehood and dishonor, and trickery been exposed than has recently come to light. South Carolina tried the experiment of legalizing sin, and failed: she has touched pitch and been defiled. The proud emblem of a proud State, adorns the pocket of every drunkard in the street, is trampled under foot in the streets, is hurled by the ? % . , , drunken husband at n;s iremoumj wife aud children, has become in short, the coat of arms of Satan in his worst fonn. Prohibition, we have been told by our wise men, "all honorable men," means free liquor. Can liquor be any freer than it is now ! Times are hard, yet liquor houses spring into existence as if by magic. Our thoroughfares are redolent with the odor of whisky. Oh! the shame of it! White men protect the ignorant savage from this curse, and wilfully allow their own sons to be destroyed. Christian men, how can you ? You exclaim "am I my brothers, keeper ?" Do you also cry "um I my son's keeper f* You profess to follow Christ, aud enthrone the devil in triumph. Is it your de sire to "see South Carolina drunk I rem the mountains to the sea?" If so, your wish is in a fair way to be gr&tilied. Fathers! would you bind your daughters, and sell them as slaves ? "Why, then, for the sake of revenue, sell your sons to the vilest of slavery ? Kow can I appeal to the mothers of the State if their own hearts do not appeal ? O women of South Carolina! come forward now and rescue your State from worse VER VISITED 5ruiT \ill Ml? . the styles and continually replenish ist and most desirable, and if you wish rraiu in ignorance of the lug values we a, 1035 Main Street. i | CAPES, CLOAKS A.\D JACKETS, ' Braided Cloth C >pos horn 75 to ><5 0 l'insh.

Xo man is better known and liked in that lieh tier of Illinois counties, of which Peoii.i is the centre, than genial Chester S. Harrington, of Princeville, Id. For many years Mr. Harrington has traveled through the country on profitable journeys as an itinerant lnerchaiP, and everywhere he goes be is given a hearty welcome by the people who depend upon his regular visits for the purchase of the necessaries, and some of the luxuries, of life. Mr. Harrington is a veteran of the war, aud out of this circumstance grew the train of facts that make up the remaikable experience which he relafpd nnnn Hip ^pension nf n. visit. to the Transcript oflice recently. His story, tilling of the evils of which the Civil War was but the beginning iu his own, and in thousands of other cases, was as follows: 'T ser.ed three years in the Tilth Illinois, enlisting at Kewance, 111. I was in Libby Prison, and, of course, I suffered, like many another Xoithern soldier. Until recently I was a member of the PrincevilJc Post, of the G. A. P. ' The strain of army life did its work in undermining my health, although the collapse did not come for years. For some time I suffered from general debility and nervousness, so badly that I could not sleep. I would sit up night after night reading. because I couldn't get to sleep. For fifteen years my sleep was completely broken up. Indigestion, of course, resulted and my misery increased until it seemed I had nothing to live for. My eyes began to fail, and as my body lost vitality my mind seemed to give way also. I could scarcely remember events that happened but a few weeks before. "I was unfitted for business, ai d had to abandon the road for two years. I was just able to creep around during the greater part of this time, and there were times when I could not get up at all. My brother is n doctor. but fit! his f-fforfs to heir) mo failed to give me any relief. "My friends sjggestcd a great many things they thought would help me, and I tried a lot of remedies, without avail. tinally, having read a great many articles regarding cures that had been effected by Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, I decided to try them. That was iu 1S9U. I bought a box and took the piils according to instructions. Just four days later I had the happiest hours I had known for yacrs. That night 1 went to sleep easily and sle[ t soundly as a child, and awoke refreshed. Since tin n I have clung tight (o j>r. William a* Pink Pills, and X have slept soundly and gained health ever since. Three or four weeks after beginning the treatment, when I bad taken four boxes of .the pills, 1 found I had increased in weight, from 11'J pounds to 1H> pounds. This greatly surprised unfriends, who thought my case was a hopeless one. I began my work on the road again, and Lave continued it right along ever since in excellent health. "Let me tell you a reunukabie thing that was a side issue, but a valuable gain to me. I found that while X was taking J)r. Williams ihnk Piils. I had been cured of the smoking habit. which bad been form eel when I was a boy, six years old. and which bad clung to iue all these years. The craving for tobacco left me, and i Lave never expei ienced it since. .1 Lave recommended the pills to more than lot) people and I nope, if my experiences is made public, it will be of benefit to some suilerer."
