Solicits a Share of Your Valued Patronage. Polite and Prompt Attention. H&I&vX , ' ' i October istf \ ? ' - Search. After Truth. To the Editor of The Dispatch: Lr In The Dispatch of June 12, I made' an attempt to direct special attention ' to that "ekpianation" of the Dispen. sary Board. I did not then expect to j?? . write anything further, but after seeSag; ing the article of one who sets himself up as "Justice" and the justifies of ' the Board, I would like to make a few more remarks. He does not seem to reply to anything I asked, and I do not write this simply as a repiy to Mm. In any public question, I be-1 lieve the proper thing to do is to search out the truth without prejudice or bias. I may be guilty of presumption when I attempt to do this, but at any rate I am willing to try. I wonder how Mr. Justice wrote his piece and why he named himself Justice. Did he write down that subject, "County Board Justified," and then write the other which follows? If so, he wrote the conclusion before the argument, and this may explain how he arrived at that conclusion. Or, < ! did he write the piece and name it . "County Board, Justified?" If so, where is the sound argument to warrant this conclusion? In the first par' agraph, he says he thinks he can ' 'satisfy curiosity" and stop newspaper articles of people who mow nothing about the situation in Brookland. There is evidently no argument in this narairranh?it is simple boasting. In the next paragraph he speaks of "inhabitants" and majorities. He says if those opposing the dispensary had 1,800 names, they probably had a majority, but he does not know if they had that many. He speaks of certain people outtide of Brookland, but we fail to see how these could exercise the rights of Brookland people. He does not even try to show that there was a majority in favofr of the dispensary and sorely there is nothing here upon which to base an argument. In the following paragraph he even says, "the friends of the dispensary made no effort to get a large petition." So then they aid not even eansult the majority of the people upon this important subject; they utterly ignored them and he assigns no . reason for it except that "the CareyCothrac law authorizes and1 requires the County Board to establish a dispensary wherever they see fit." Laws are often unjust?many of the greatest crimes ever committed were according to law. So, then, the fact that a deed, is according to law can never justify It. In the next paragraph he uses the profit feature as an argument, but it is miserable logic or miserable ethics which says a deed is ..r .*1. * KansnoA fK^wt la mnnftV n^uv ouu^nj wwupo wv^v <? ? ,, in it. Usually unjust business is the most profitable in this sense and we do not see how to draw any valid conclusion from this argument. In the two final paragraphs he does not even 4 pretend to offer argument* Indeed, we find no sound premise in this entire article upon which to base the conclusion, "The County Board Justified," and we wonder how a man who is so just that his very name is Justice could arrive at such a conclusion from such an argument. But I want to say a word further. Let me lay down this proposition: Whiskey is a dangerous thing. If I should want proof for this statement, Ifcould find it in that decision of the Supreme Court upon which the constitutionality of.. the old dispensary was based, but I can find better proof than that. When I see that during the month of May the people of Lexington county spent $8,339.80 for whiskey; when I remember the mothers and children who should have received this money; when I see these drinking men wasted in health, strength, and morality, I say I know whiskey is a dangerous thing and should oe handled with the strictest - care. If it has real medicinal value, the State, perhaps, should not take it out of the hands of the doctors, but it should inflict the severest punishment upon the abuse of this privilege. As to using whiskey as a beverage, I say no man, county or State is justified in selling it for this purpose and I now speak of this use of whiskey. Any community of citizens like Brookland has the privilege and should form itself into a city. In this corporation the citizens all have the * ' -vr_ ?_ 1 same mail en a Die ngni-s. r*u uue uuzen can interfere with the rights of another. He cannot say I am going to bring this or that to Brookland whether the majority of the people want it or not. This is sound government by the people. The question of a dispensary arrises in Brookland, and what is the evidence before the County Board? The Board answers, "the petitioners opposed to the dispensary were very much in the majority. '' Now the question arises how can the Board get around this large petition and yet not interfere with inrrhtia r?f t.hp neoDle? Thev begin wo "6"^ r- i. at once to discriminate; they say this name counts for more than that name; and, finally, they say this short petition counts for more than that long one and assign no reason for this discrimination except these names on this short petition are "business men." If this is the truth and the whole truth, this action of the Board bears the stamp of injustice upon its face. But they proceed; they now come to the startling conclusion that a dispensary is the best thing for Brookland. Substitute in place of the word dispensary the word whiskey and it will From Bateslrarg.

Asbill. read: whiskey is the best thing for Brookland. whiskey is a dangerous thing and this statement is absurd. They also state that the real question is whether or not the town of Brooklaifd should have the profits of the whiskey money paid by the people of Emnkland. but fchev are mistakened. The real question* is this: How can we control this dangerous thing called whiskey and yet not interfere with the rights of the people? I notice that Mr. Justice says the Carey-Cothran law "requires" the Board to establish a dispensary whereever they see fit. If this is true, what a powerful argument this is against the Carey-Cothran law! Does this law turn loose three men in each dispensary county to establish dispensaries wherever they see fit? If so, this law is extremely dangerous, extremely unjust and should be changed at the next meeting of the Legislature. I can see no objection to Local Option in the sense that it gives each county the right to say whether or not it will have the dispensaay, but remember this is no solution of the whiskey question. As soon as a county adopts the dispensary or prohibition it has a solution, but which is the right solution. Some man will say the dispensary, because people will have whiskey and it is better to give it to them. This conclusion is not true. If I know that a man is going to kill himself, I am not justified in giving him a gun to do the work, even though I can give him a better gun than he has. So it is with whiskey. Even though I know that a man will have whiskey, the law of justice will not allow me to place it in his hands. If I do, I become a partaker in his sin, because I not only consent to it which is wrong, but I even assist him which is a greater sin. So, then, no man can place whiskey in his hands and be blameless?no man can serve on a dispensary Board and be blameless?no man can establish a dispensary anywhere and be blameless. But I deny the premise; people will have whiskey. The term people is general and applies to all without discrimination. This makes the premise say, ail people, without discrimination, will have whiskey, which is not true. I find a large class of people who will not have it. I find another class of people, not so large, who are trying to overcome this dreadful whiskey habit. These would like to get ipd of it. Then I find another class of people, God pity them, who will go to great inconvenience for whiskey. It may be said these will have whiskey if they can get it. So, then, prohibition will prohibt to some extent and will do so more and more when in force. This I know from experience. Thus we can find no solid ground upon which to stand except prohibition, and we believe it is practical to stand upon this ground. One who favors whatever is right.

Shot From Ambush While Beturning Home From Mill Saturday Morning ? Four Young Men Charged With Deed?All Hour in Jail. Batesburg, June 25.?One of the most cowardly and brutal murders ever recorded in the annals of crime was committed about three miles from this town last Saturday morning about nine o'clock. Mr. George W. Mabus, a highly reStiecLfid vonnc farmer. lpfL. Viic 'I / O 1 ~ about two mile9 from this place earlySaturday morning with two sacks of com in his buggy to go to the grist mill of John Kneece, just across the line into Aiken county. After getting the corn ground into meal, Mr. Mabus started on his way home when, within a short distance of Mr. J. R. (border's, he was shot from ambush and mortally wounded by 9ome cowardly assassin in the bushes. The weapon used was a shotgun loaded with buckshot. The load entered the head and neck and produced death in three hours. j Bloodhounds from the penitentiary were sent for and they arrived on the I ground where the murder took place late in the afternoon, but owing to the dry weather and cold trail nothing was accomplished. The murder of Mr. Mabus greatly stunned the people of this community and for a while excitement ran high, but at no time was there any threats of violence against the murderers on the part of the dead man7s friends. Magistrate F. P. Shealy summoned a jury of inquest Sunday morning I with Mr. M. E. Rutland, of this place, as foreman. Edward L. Asbill, Esq., of Leesville, represented the State. Witnesses testified that Clifton Fallaw, brother of Lee Fallaw, the young man engaged in a cutting scrape with Mabus a few months ago, was seen a few minutes after the shooting, coming from the direction where the crime was committed, with a shotgun in his possession. It was also claimed that Clinton and Lee Fallaw were seen near the place of the murder a short while afterward. After hearing all testimony given at the inquest the jury returned a verdict charging Lee and Clifton Fallaw, two brothers,with murder, as principals, Clinton Fallaw as accessory before the fact, and Isaac Taylor, a young man in the employ of the Fallaws, as accessory after the fact. Sheriff Corley arrived on the afternoon train Sunday and went at once to the home of the Fallaws and placed them under arrest, and on Monday morning carried them to jail at Lexington. That the cold blooded murder of George W. Mabus was the most cowardly crime ever committed in this section of the State is not doubted by anyone. The sympathy of this entire town and community is extended the family of the deceased, and every nifirpn hprf> stands readv to assist every effort to bring the guilty assassins to justice. Mr. Paul Mabus, the father of the dead man, is one of our best citizens and is highly esteemed i by all who know him. The blow falls ! heavily on him as his murdered son was his chief support in his declining | years. George Mabus was only 22 I years of age and has always been ! known as an honest, upright young. ; man. A few months ago he and Lee i Fallaw became engaged in a personal | difficulty on the streets of Batesburg, | which resulted in both men gettingi seriously cut. The motive for the. i murder is supposed to be the result j of the feud between the tVvO young. men. C, ? i A Quiet Marriage. !
