The Lexi ngton Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19. 1894. tr. M. HARM AN. Editor and Tubiisher. LEXINGTON, S. C., WEI NESDAY. OCTOBER 2T>. 180'h. THE DISPENSARY MUDDLE. We have waited patiently for the development of all the facts connected with the alleged, [we use the word advisedly] disf eusaray scandal which the public has recently heard so much cf before expressing an opinion on the issues joined. True all the facts ? - i -1 !_ __ *f_ ir are not yet id, hs mi. * <iuu, nuu was the CoaamissioDer until deposed by Mr. Douthit, who in turn was given the grand bounce by the majority faction of the State Board of Control, has given public notice that he will at some future day Dot yet named, give to the public his side of the controversy; but enough has been unfolded to lead an intelligent aod fair minded reader to the conclusion that there has been a great deal mpre smoke than fire; too many broad and sweeping assertions and too little proof to convince one of their correctness; too much politics and jealousy, consequently bad management of the dis pessary and backbiting amoDg its officials, and a very little display of business judgment and a lack of harmony which are so essential to the successful working of that institution. Nothing criminal has so far been developed but a vague aod indefinite reference to the word "stealing,'' but as the article wherein it occurred was so illtimed and iltempered that it cannot be entertained by a reasonable mind. Negligence, incompetency, laziness and a genera) disregard of the instructions of the State Board of Control are the counts in the bill of indictment. These evils probably exist in many private enterprises today, because it itnatural that where so large a number of persons are employed there must be some sfflicted with one or more of the evils mentioned above. Theie is no way to guard against them and the olny remedy is to do as the board has done, root out the evils. Without taking sides in the controversy the matte., boiled to cold and unvarnished facts, seems to us to be that Douthit, the Commissioner pleads guilty to the charge that he dis obeyed the instructions of the Board in that he did at divers times retail iUa Ci/v^/v dinnnnoorr? Kill wtiib&jf at iuc uiaic uioj^cuoaij w?> puts in an excuse to condone the offence that he did so under, a misapprehension. Ouzts, the erstwhile book-keeper, enters a plea of guilt} to the same charge, and excuses himself on the ground that be did but obey the orders of his superior. Having entered these pleas a trial was unnecessary and they were discharged from office. Black, the shipping clerk, admits that it is possible that some mistakes may have occurred in filling orders and billing good?, but contends that the errors, if any, were of such a nature as weie liable to occur in any well regulated wholesale house. These, in a nutshell, are the facta which have given rise to so much newspaper controversy and which has been used by the enemise of the dispensary system of controlling the sale of liquor, to briDg it into disrepute. Amid ail the dust which has been raised, it is a remaikable coincident that cot one word "has been uttered derogatory a- 1 ^Uodf Tko o^rn/>fttpfl LU LUC CJOlCUi UOVll. J-uv HUIVV...V of high license, which is but another name for the open salooD, have sought to tear down the dispensary only by attacking the personal integrity tnd business character of its employees. "Weak indeed must be the contentions of those who have to resort to sucb illogical and disreputable methods to accomplish their ends. Strong indeed must be the system which is so impregnable as to force its enemies into such weak and untenable a position. No matter what may be said against the misdeeds of Douthit and r>,i<7ta nr for that matter anv one V/U<iVU) V#? *V* ?? - 9/ else, the fact remains uncontradicted and uncontradictable that there are honest men connected with the dispensary, and that there are thousands more in the State who would gladly accept a position there were au op portunitj given them to do so, hence it is certain that the dispensary will not fall through for the lack of honest men to transact its business. The difficulty with the dispensary has been, as we see it, in recent years too many bosses. The effort has been directed to make it more of a political machine, through which friend* a~e rewarded and enemies punished, rather than a business one where merit and competency are tests for prefer- ! ment- That system, under such conditions cannot be managed so as to g;ve the best results for which it was called into existence, no matter how meritorious the principles of the system ma> be or how stroDgly they appeal to the judgment and sympathies of the people for suppoit, { hence, in order that the system may i . accomplish the purposes intended? J curtailment of the drink habit?it J should be divorced from all entagling < alliaocee, taken out of politics *nd ] all discordant elements be removed This can be done, we submi% by returning to such a government that we bad during the first years of its existenc: Let the Commissioner be elected I y the Legislature and de volving the duties now entrusted to the State Board of Control upon an advisory bjard consisting of the Governor, Comptroller General and Attorney General who shall advise with the Commissioner in the manage ment of the dispensary. Such an an arrangement would have a wholesome tffect and put a check to the evils which have crept into its man age merit. Other towns and cities throughout the State have some kind of businets organization which has for its pur pubt; tuc uu>i.'iv/^'iu?7UK \jt ?<ij^ trial, ecoi ouaicial and miteral interests of the place v\here they exist We have cartf ally watched and noticed with much pleasure the good result'', as reported in the newspapers and through other sources, which have been accomplished solely through the influence of these organizations. Why cannot the business men of Lexington form such an organization to work for the growth of the town and the extension of its business interests. If we expect in this age when the race for success is to the swift and the dollars comes to the active and energetic, to quietly sit down in idleness and indolence and spend the balance of our days in frightening capital and enterprise away so that they will not come thitherwards by shoutiDg at the top of our voices, "hard times/' "the town is dead," and imagine that the only thing God created us for is to 4V.O \rto nut fnrfVt fVic.it 1 UWi J iU^/ Jk/MW A V* VM more progressive neighbors to build up their town, we repeat, that if we expect to be-ter our condition by such methods, then we will awake when it is too late to a realization that while we slept the tide of fortune passed us by and rewarded more thrifty and industrious communities. These organizations, as we have said before, have been very successful elsewhere in attracting the attention of capital and productive of splendid reeultp. and there is no earthly reason, unless it be carelessness or indifference, wh j one would not work as satisfactorily here as well as elsewhere. "We can rest assured of one thing and that is, nothing will be accomplished along the line of progress through inactivity. We must put our shoulders to the wheel and keep pushing ic along. We must put forth a united effort and use every legitimate meantat our command to build up ouj town. Let us get together ami do something for the prosperity of Lex in? ton. E ich one of us can do some o ~ ting no matter how small, it is from small things that great results follow. The effort is well worth trying so let as be up and doing. The construction of a cigar box may seem to be a very simple mattei to the novice; but the box passes through 10 different processes before it is ready for the cigars. Important to All Tax Payers All able-bodied male citizens between the ages of 21 and GO year*are liable to pay a poll tax of SI 00; except Confederate soldiers who ar? exempt at 50 years of age.

Commutation Rjad Tax $2 io lieu of working the public reads and must be paid at the time of paying general taxes to the County Treasurer. All persons owning property oi paying taxes for others in more thai one township are requested to call for receipts in each township ii which they live. This is important as additional cost and penalty may not be attached. Prompt attention will be given by the Treasurer to thost who wish to pay their taxes through the mails by checks, money orders, etc. Don't forget to stamp checks. Meet the Treasurer promptly or his rounds through the county. - SICK WOMEN are invited to consult Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the In valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, X. Y., bv letter, without fee or charge of any kind. Dr. Pierce is a specialist in the diseases of women. He has treated over half-a-million women for diseases of the womanly organs and ninety-eight out of every hundred women he has treated have been absolutely and perfectly cured. Kvery letter received by Dr. Pierce, is treated as a purely personal and private communication and its contents guarded as a sacred confidence. All answers to these letters are sent in sealed envelopes hearing upon them no printing or advertising whatever. Write to the doctor. It is no use for sick women to write to a man unless he is a doctor. It is no use to " write to a woman " unless the woman is a doctor. Write to a woman a1>out cookery or any branch of housekeeping, liccause she is a woman and knows. But it is of no use to write to a woman al>out disease unless she has a doctor's training and diploma. A woman who isn't a doctor is just as dan' Itcrous as a man who isn't a doctor, when she undertakes to treat disease. There is no qualified woman physician so far as is known connected with any proprietary medicine put up for women, j Kven the "bearded woman." the ;/,'</// who advertises "write to a woman" is not a qualified physician and stands too much in fear of the law to claim that he is. There is no other physician, male or female, who, like I)r.

The Third Annual Fair of the L'-xington County Fair Association is now in full blast ami there is no longer a question as to its success. For about a week meD have been kept busy beaulihiog the grounds, putting up new stalls, making coops in the poultry department, enlarging the arena, improving the swine and the other departments. The whole has undergone a fairy like cbaDge and there is an animated scene of moving humanity upon whose ? % ? countenance is depicted woncirous amazement and bewildering surprise at the wondetftil transformation which has taken p.ace in so short a time. It is now a bee hive of human skill and industry wherein is stored the lnndiw r\ cf the home, the shop and the products of the farm, and forest and field. Every department is absolutely oveiflowing with exhibits representing the skill of our fair women and the thrift of our industrious men. The stock department is unusual fine, the entries large and the exhib's would be very creditable to any State fair. Notwithstanding that between sixty and seventy new stalls had been built to accommodate the horses, they all are occupied and more are in demand. The poultry department is also full to oveiflowing with fine exhibits. In this department, like that of the stock, extensive additions has been made to provide for an increased en try, yet there was not room to meet the demand and when we left the ground workmen were busy making new coops. The same condition prevails in the space allotted to the other departments. The cry was invariably for more room/' The attendance is very large considering that it is the first day of the fair. Oar streets are crowded with visitors who have on their holi day attire and seem to be enjoying themselves. The people of the Sandy Ran section are mingling with their friends of the Peak neighborhood; the hands of the people from Chinquapin township grasps the hands of those from Congaree in warm friendship; the sand hill boys are j ''sitting up" to the Fork girls flirting for all there is in it, while the Fork boys are talking "soft nonsense" to the sand hill girls, and everything goes on as merrily as a marriage bell. We extend to all a most hearty and cordial welcome and bespeak for all a pleasant visit. The degree of masonry has been conferred upon Rear Admiral Schley by Benj. French L)dge in Washing ton, D. C.

"Don't you wish,'' he asked, looking soulfully into her eyes, "that the tunnels on this line were ten times as long?'' "No," she answered, emphatically.

They always light the car lamp? when coming to tne long tunnel?, she added, "and they don't for the short ones."
