Walter Perry, a well known and respected negro, died in Columbia Monday. His remains were brought to Lexington; his old home, where they were interred in the colored cemetery yesterday. Perry was a quiet and inoffensive negro, and was for many years a resident of Lexington, where he followed the painters' trade. Excessive drink caused his downfall which affected his mind, and he was carried to the hospital for the insane on Thursday where he died. * * . / New Millinery.

To the Editor of The Dispatch: When the senate killed the state dispensary and passed the Carey-Cotbran local option bill they performed their duty. Now if the goo^ people of the state will vote to dry all the counties, they will then have performed their duty. Then if the socalled church members and Christians keep out of the whiskey business, the blind-tiger men will close up and go home, for over two-thirds of ^ the men in South Carolina are of the so-called church member class. Re member, from a bushel of corn the g distiller gets four gallons of whiskey, which retails for $16.80; the farmer gets 50 cents, the United States government gets $4.40, the railway company gets $1.00, the manufacturer gets $4.00, the drayman gets 15 cents, the retailer gets $7.00 the consumer gets drunk, the wife gets hungry, the children get rags; the man that votes license gets what? Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that Sutteth the bottle to him and maketh im drunk. I hope all the boys and men^ who read this will take my advice and stop drinking for always. T. J. Cupstid. Swansea, S. C. The Judge Uses Forceful Lan- guage. Judge W. B. Simmons of Fincastle, Va., told the reporter that L. & M.
