The Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25th; rebuilt July 19,1891. G. M. HARMAN. Editor and Publisher. LEXINGTON. S. C., WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 20. 1899. KEEP IT CUT OF POLITICS. Senator Tillman is accredited with having suggested several important changes in the management of the dispensary system at a caucus of some of the prominent advocates of '.hat system held in Columbia during Fair "Week. We are not in a position to state with any decree of certainty whether he did or did not suggest the proposed changes not haviDg / bsen present at|the caucus, and we have invariably found it a safe rule to accept the assertions of a biased and prejudiced press and individuals concerning Senator Tillman and the dispensary with a great amount of incredulity. Some of the proposed changes are very good, no matter who their author may have been, and if adopted would have a wholesome effect in purging the management of th9 dispensary cf its objectionable and obnoxious features. The disgraceful scenes recently witnessed among the heads and some of the - employees of that institution at Columbia will be made utterly impossible by placing the management of the system in the bands of a State Commissioner, who shall be under the control and direction of a board consisting of three State officeis, something like the management in vogue during the first years of the existence of the dispensary system. Under the administration of Commissioner Traxler there was no effort to use the institution as a stepping stone to political preferment. His administration was so pure, and founded upon such correct business principles that even the bitterest and most unreasonable opponents of the system could find no fault with the management and he left office unsullied by the breath of scandal and the system flourishing and growing in popular favor. A management lhat gave such universal satisfaction and made the system stronger each d jy is most assuredly worthy of perpetuation and the good of the system demands its immediate re-establishment. There are many other healthy ? -etogerstiggistcd in tho ^gtem^of^ management adopeted and sanctioned hv thfl in renent years. the inauguration of which made it possible for bickerings and jealousic s to creep in and cause friction and dissentions to arise among those charged with the administration of the interests of the institution, but as they are of minor importance and are overehadowed by far more weightier ones to discuss them now would bo illtimed as well as premature. The other suggestions claimed to have been made by Senator Tillman does not bear the stamp of his usual discernment which has marked his political career from its beginning up to the present time. As a rule all his acts of statesoraft have been those of wisdom and farsightedness rarely seen coming from a statesman. By substituting the Iotendants, County Auditors and Treas urers as Board of Control for their respective town and county and making the local dispenser elective by the people instead of by ths County Board of Control are very unwise changes, and ones which are fraught with great danger to the perpetuation of the dispensary system itself. The very reason why a change is so urgently demanded and so apparently necessary in the management of the State dispensary is, that.there is too much politics mixed up with its business. Should the39 two last changes be effected it will be the entering wedge which" will split the dispensary, the rock upon which it will be wrecked. It will not only bring into * play all the factional prejudices and ?- i.i 1 ji t - L _ i: neignooruoou sirue oi couucy puutics, bat will also open wide the doors for all the evils incident to a municipal campaign to boldly enter to undermind it with its nastiness, rottenness and corruption. It will put the dispensary up as a target to be shot at by any ward politician that might seek its downfall and substitute high license where whisky can be better and more safely used to debauch citizenship, degrade manhood and control voters. It will be a source of constant irritation and breeder of strife and contention. Judgment and experience teaches us that the | best and only practical and permanent way to control the sale of strong | drink is through the dispensary and t iey both teach us taht to accomplish the purposes of its creation is i to divorce it from politics. Don't fur- I ther haniDer and trammel the svs- I tem by mixing it with a political ma- < chine where its worse features will < always remain on top to arite as a stench in the nostrils of all moial { people and encompass it with such ; i environment that no decent person ; can give it his support. This is what its enemies desire; this is what they are toiling for and this is what they expect to accomplish and it would c be worse than folly for us to do the ( very thing our enemies want us to do. i The Grorgia House of Representatives has j'ist passed an ideal probibitioD bill. It piolibits the manufacture, balo aud giving away of any whiskies, or intoxicating liquors of \ any description by whatever name j called, for any purpose whatever, ex- 1 cept domestic wines made from na- * tive grape?, which are allowed to be i sold on the premises where the grapes j are grown and the wines are made, j It also prohibits the chartering and j maintaining "clubs," aod makes the ] taking out of a United Scate3 reve- j nue license prima facie evidence of thp violation of the law. and Dro vides heavy penalties foi its violation. j It is far in advance of the drug store- 3 barroom bill of the South Carolina Prohibitionists. Sad to say, how- < ever, that it is not likely to become a ] law as it will probably be killed in ] the Senate. The House has Dobly ' performed its duty ta suffering hu- 1 manitj; would that we can say as [ much for suffering humanity. \ Mr. W. M. Jones has sold his in- [ terest in the Spartanburg Piedmont ] Headlight to Gen. Joseph L. Stopple- j bein and will devote his entire time and attention to the practice of law. 1 His retirement is a loss to j )urnalism , He was a forceful, logical and clean writer and expressed his opinions ' with a clearness and firmness that left no doubt as to where he stood cn matters discussed by bin* Gen. Stopplebein is a graceful strong and outspoken writer and the Headlight under his management I will always be found on the side of right, justice and morality. We wish both these gentlemen abundant success in their chosen avocations. The Bjers seem to be getting the better of the English soldiers in their ? fight ftr liberty. In nearly every ^ battle so far fought victory has crowned their arms. They have proven themselves to be a brave, jj courageous and humane people who are determined to maintain their in- ? ? dependence at every hazard. Know- v ing ones say, however, that in the end they will become slaves of Eng- ^ lisb masters and subjects of the ^ kingdom of Great Britian, but not g until after a prolonged contest and a v desperate resistance. ^ The Filipinos are keeping the United States soldiers busy chasiDg j them over Luzon. They are keeping ^ our ooys constantly on toe move try4agJto catch up with them. Great ^ staughter-ef-t.he Filipinos are report- j ed by Gen. OtiaJbuF'~1F seems that j the greater the number killed,""the a greater the number remains to be ^ killed. g a The 27th arnual meeting of the ^ South Carolina State Grange will convene at Bishopville, in Sumter c county, on December 6 b. This j, organization of farmers is in good ^ working order and is doing much p good to its members bv the dissemi- |? nation of useful information and ^ practical thoughts on topics connect- u ed with farming. Among the branch railroads which have been recently talked of is the 0. proposed line to Saluda Court House, p A company was formed sometime ^ ago and efforts have been made to ^ get the Southern to lay the track j and operate a road between John- ^ ston's, Ward's or Kidge Spring to Saluda. This is likely to be done. The funeral obsequies of Hon. Garrett A. Hobart, Vice President of the ^ United States, were held in the church of the Redeemer, atPaterson, ^ N. J, on November 25. The services were simple, but solemn and impressive. ^ It is probable that Hon. J. W. ^ Barnwell and Solicitor Jervey of ^ Charleston, will both oppose Col. lc Wra. Elliott in the Democratic ^ primary next summer as a Represen- P] tative in Congress from the 1st Dis- r( A t ' P U1CC. ; ? rc The case of Commissioner Douthit di i9 booked to come up before the di Stale Board of Control today.
