It is with unfeigDed pleasure that it falls to our duty again this week to commend the General Assembly as a body and as individuals, for the promptuess and close attention to the work in hand which has charnc terized the Legislature during the week. Each and every one discharged their duty as they saw it with an eye single to the good of the State of South Carolina and the benefit of the constituents they represent. "With the exception of tLe votes against Messrs. Epton and Cdlvo, we have no fault to find with the work accomplished, but as the fine hand of shrewd politicians could be seen in these elections, it is but reasonable to suppose that the members lost their heads. The most impoitant measure discussed so far Ibis session was the Childs' prohibition bill last Wednesday in th< House. The debate was opened by Mr. Garris, who said that he felt that iD this discussion those of us who oppose this bill will have trouble to make ourselves understood. I am unwilling to have it said that I favor liquor selling in South Carolina. But when I give my assent to any measure which proposes to prohibit the sale of a liquor as a beverage I must give it to a bill which purport to be more restrictive than the one before us. Tbi9 bill is not a prohibition bill. Iu section 1 there are three classes of liquor selling declared not to be against the morals, safety and society of the State. First. Importation for personal use. We cannot under the ruliDg of i the courts prohibit the importation for personal use. This furnishes to the illicit liquor dealer the permission to flood the State with liquor. Second. Those liquors bought from the authorized State ageDt. If one class is wrong so is another, and the moral of affairs will not be changed j under this law. Thi'rd All Knnnre^am'nedbv State i chemists and found pure. Quoting from section 4 of Mr. Childs' bill he said what are we to think of such extracts as "for 1-2 to 5 gallons." "Will a man under ordinary circumstances go to a drug store and get o gallons for medicine? J "Packages must not be opened on j premises." A healthy clause if it j refers to beverages. But if it is to ; the be taken as a medicine, where in code of morals can you find a reason for not opening it any where. Again it would seem that the author contemplates the sale of whisky for other than medicinal purposes for "assistant" dispensers are provided for. One druggist can sell enough quinine j in packages for everybody in Colum- j bi:i. M'hy not the same for whisky in packages as medicine? From studying this bill it seems j like but an attempt to reform thedis- j pensary law. How many men who j voted for prohibition, did not vote for i political purposes? How many liquor \ dealers voted for prohibition in older ; that they might sen the stun without i having to pay a license? This bill contemplates a State Board of Control of five members, also dispensers in each county. If there is to be no revenue where is the good sense in adopting such a bill. If a man buys for medicinal purposes he is as much entitled to it as the druggist. Then where is the revenue. In my humble judgment we would have free whisky instead of prohibition. "We should pass our laws, not from sentiment, but from cool, calculating business. They talk of the dagger to our eons from the* continuance of the dispensary. I I Tested 1 < ( and [ true, h 1 iniaBlgTT*1^1 TXT". TZ. 1\ Solicts a Shave of am resnoBsible to ruy son for my <L views. I had rather my son, if he j must think, buy from the dispensaiy \ in a manly open way than to sneak j around to blind tigers. The dispensary law is not infallible. Even ! friends cf the dispensary law have a ! right to complain. However, it re- j lieves whisky stlliDg from the in- j famous retailing system also of gain- j ing tables and other vicious accesso- j ries. The laboring man on bis way j from bis work after sundown can find | no place to spend his money legitimately for liquor. Among tko objections to the law is the granting of beer privileges and of hottl privileges. A great deal more cf the poverty of South Carolina lies at the door of whisky than belongs there. The cry of widow and oiphan can j be heard from other causee than whisky. Bloody usury of the money J lendeishas caused moic people to go i out into a friendless world than i whisky ever caused. There are lion- j acf mnnov torwlors nnfl there are hon- ! '.OV UJWU\ J iVUM V4 W ^ est merchants, but there are bun- j Jreds who are grasping. Mr. Yt'hUll said he was a prohibitionist and alwajs had been. In 1S92 he was anxious for a prohibilaw but it was very fortunate for the cause that prohibition wa3 not carried. Thousands of the best people in South Carolina have locked arms with the liquor men and have brought about this unfortunate state of affairs in which they hope to wreck the dis pensary. The result will be baneful to prohibition. Mr. Yeldell states that although the principles of the dispensary are wrong, yet good results may accrue from it. Hero he recited an incident in the life of Abraham Lincoln, in which that great American stated that he would rather die than to accomplish good through evil means. Passing by the State dispensary every day he could see barrels upon barrels of liquor coming Jd, and for what purpost? To make drunkards drunker? No, to make the sober drunk, for the sale to drunkards is prohibited. Better sell to the drunkards and not to the sober. Mr. McCullough felt that he would be recreant to his feelings and to the good people of South Carolina net to express his views on this subject. What is the object of government? To develop man. The dispensary is a part of our government. Look at the picture. The State's educational institutions developing wbiie the State's dispensary is undoing the work. It is wrong to punish crime, and yet to legalize the cause for doing wrong. The State of South Carolina ought not to open an institution which her citizens cannot patronize without being improved. It is claimed that if the State doesn't sell liquor, somebody will. Is there any argument in that? No more than there is in justifying one's self for killing a man because some one will murder him. Law is education. If you pass a prohibition law, it will be violated, but it will, iu time to come, be carlied out. In reply to Mr. Gams' saying that prohibition will not pro| hibit, be recited the case in Bible history of the spies being sent out to I inspect the promised land. They I I returned saving it was a beautiful < / o ; laud, flowing with milk and honey, J | but there were terrible giants there. i Those giauts were subsequently j j over come bv the children of Isreal. I ! J j | Prohibition, all will admit, is a beau j | tiful land, but there are terrible j j giants, they claim. Why can we not J overcome the giants? If this meas- J i ure is passed, prayers for its success ! j will go up from hovels and from j ! happy homes, but the dispensary ! i law is not and will not be sustained j 1 , j by prayer. 30 D' S S E E DS are specially grown ar.d S cted to meet the needs and requirements cf ? southern Growers. ) lod's Descriptive Catalogue is most valu- t i and helpful in giving cultural directions / I valuable information about all seeds ) :ially adapted to the South. ^ XjETABLE and FLOWER SEEDS, 5 Grass and Clover Seeds, Seed S Potatoes.

I which confronts us. >v men is oeuer | \ prohibition, license or the dispensarv j I Barnwell county had tried ail throe, ! j earned prohibition overwhelmingly i and were in earnest. They appointed 1 a committee to enforce the law. Sev- $ eral indictments were before the ? grand jury at once and everyone was ? <t thrown out. We had two classes of ! t prohibitionists, one who had voted | j for it because they thought it light, j the other, the barroom keepers, who j ? could run barrooms without licenses, i When the law was enacted, the tigers j were at first very careful, but after- ] wards more bold. When the dispen- ] sarv was tried in Barnwell, it was 1 proved to be more of a prohibition j i measure than prohibition itself. Its j 1 openness keeps thousands from i 1 drinking. We missed the waik of drunkards. It has been said that I we ought not to sell to sober men i but to drunkards. 1 The cnlv thing we can do is to Jet 1 7*0 drunkards drink and educate the rising generation not to drink. 1 Mr. Livingstone offers an amendment which does away with the sale J for medicinal purposes in Mr. Childs 1 bill and makes it even more prohibi- ' fc iry. 1 Mr. Livingstone: "What I say will not change any votes, for ycur minds < are already made up, but I will be 1 untrue to my constituents if I did ' not raise my voice for prohibition. < For 50 years, not within the confioes * of my county, has the disturber of 1 the homes of men been authorized by ; 1 law. I do not mean to say that no j ' liquor is drunk, but even on sales j day, even before sundown, the men I go to their homes sober. His . amendment forbids the sale of liquor < for beverages and provides for the ; I winding up of the business of the ; < dispensary. If we are going to meet j ' the issue, let us meet it squarely and j 1 have absolute prohibition. Mr. Kinard: I feel it my duty to j present a few facts. The other day j 1 when Mr. Childs appealed so elo- } j qucntly to the church members, I i ] thought he bad a bill suited to the j t'lUVJUCUt u UJUU%. J. MIU Ub v . know it was a second dispensary law. but an absolute prohibition measure, i I accepted the dispensary law i when I thought I could not get pro- j hibitioD, for I thought it a long j I stride in the right direction. Y\"hile j the management has been defective, I it has been a great means for good. 1 Had the law been cairied out, there ! 11 y - ? j: i: .a i DOW WOU1U ue HO UlSMtUSlttWUUU. ; When we want a good law, we must ; : enforce it. I favor prohibition, but j : I don't think this a prohibition law. j : Mr. E. D. Smith hails with delight i the placing of the issue failly and | squarely. What is the proper atti j tude of South Cirolina toward a |1 recognized evil ? Is not the traffic of : 1 liquor an evil? The first gentleman who spoke, said that prohibition is ! right, but we are not ready for it. , 7E., tg(\ Prompt and 1 Dare we look the truth squarely and ; F.tiily? Shall we as weaklings'! stultify ourselves we do what is right ? ! When will we ever become ready for i prohibition? When will the human ! race ai live at the stage where pas- I Fion is held in obeyance? As men, let us not compromise with evil. Mr. Mauldin had been disposed to : 1 j dodge the measure. At first he was j not satisfied that this was a prohi- j bition measure. He is for prohibition straight. We should rise man to man and wield the sceptre of prohi- ' bition in South Carolina. Start pro j hibition at home. Mr. Livingstone's bill had cleared everything out of the way and be ! was obliged to vote for the amend- ; in en t. Mr. Stevenson had considered the question with uncertainty. I have listened in vain for some measure to be introduced which will give us : State control. I prefer to go into a j system of free saloons rather than to j continue as it is without State con- j stables. Men had come into the j State, as he had predicted, and were operating with no license and practically no restrictions. As soon as the mandato of the United States Supreme Court is given out. South , Carolina will again be humiliated, j Why was not some bill introduced j vhich would get around the inc-vit- ! tble decision of the court.

The dispensary law is infi- ; jitely better than the blind tigers, I vhich will be born with the prohi pitiou law. You will never enforce ! prohibition until people quit drink- | ng liquor. Which is the best, pro- 1 libition, high license or the dispen- } lary ? The dispensary law, hampered tnd fought as no other, is etill a j jrajsd success. Shall we fly off at a i .aDgeut and follow a phantom, a j :heory ? Mr. Efird could not refrain from j jiving utterance to one thought. He j' 3 a Carolinian and he knows that the j people of Carolina will give up to no \ power. Stand to your colors. "When j rou go down, go down standing firm, j iVhy is that when the liquor question ! s agitated that we see ministers and i iquor men locked arms against the j .aw?

Mr. Eard: "The galled jade winces." Mr. Cbilds does not deny that they worked together, bat does deny that j heir motives were the same, which i s true. Tue ministers were sincere. The liquor men worked against the j lispensary because they know that if | prohibition is canicd, that the liquor men will come out ou top eventually. ; Just as long as grain is raised and , ippetites are in man's bosom, so long j rtill liquor be drank.

Then in fen years the dispensary would run the government. It is claimed that prohibition had once carried the State. The liquor men had worked as haid for prohibition as bad the miuisteis, and even if the election had been carried for prohibition, the dispensary has since gained friends. Mr. Henderson was compelled to vote against these bills and wants to give his reasons. "When the logislatu a attempts to legislate moral sense into a people, it had better go slow. The dispensary has accomplished two good objects. One is doing away with the barroom's example. Prohibition is a fine sentiment but we must enact laws which will be practical. There is heredity in temperauce and we cannot correct the evil in a short time, but it should be accomplished in a sytematic manner. The legislature cannot shove this moral sentiment down the throats of the people. Mr. Vernor said that the gentleman from Lexington says that preachers and women are locked arms with the liquor men. I hurl tLe imputation in Lis teeth. The dis. pensary wants to take liquor men's place in the combination. Kis county had sent a petition askiDg that the dispensary be taken from them. Vv'e have already had a standing army to carry out dispensary law. Two hundred dollars worth cf liquor was sold in Seneca tbe first year cf the dispensary law and SiO,000 worth the second year.
