The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, Jnly 10.1907. Beply From "Justice." To the Editor of The Dispatch: It is the desire of the writer to make ft few remarks to one who styles himself, "One Who Favors Whatever is Eight," the profound logical reasoner in search of truth. ^ . He makes a big ado about the heading, "The Board Justified," ridiculing its writer and claiming to see no justifiable reason why such a heading should be placed over such a meanInmlooa avfinlfl fllA IWIlO.lllSion iS UOt ?4 warranted by the premises. Now the ! troth is this:v We wrote no heading to the article; we left this matter to ( the discretion and judgment of the editor. We gave, as we thought, a few valid reasons for the establishment of a i dispensary here, and left the conclusion to be drawn by the honest, unbiased people of the county. The editor ?a prohibitionist?drew this conclusion and we are satisfied. As to your logic, we must confess that you could prove anything with H the unlimited latitude and twisting ' yon give your premises and it is uselees for us to consider them, their invalidity being too plainly seen to need pointing out, e. g. People drink whiskey?all people drink whiskey, etc.; laws are unjust?SOME laws are ungfe just; or should we yet, this time, as ' in the first instance, all laws are unjust? But it is useless to take up more space with this. Now, we have great respect for constituted authority and believe it becomes us as citizens to enforce and obey the law. The board of control are officers of the law find are appointed to execute the law, if they fail to do this they are not just nor honest. Now, in regard to a dispensary here, as we said before, whiskey is already sold in a few hundred yards oigoor town; Columbia gets the money, Brookland the drunks. Now if we most have one, and under present conditions we certainly must, why not have the other; why not let those who cause the trouble thus pay for the protection and safety of us who respect ourselves and the law? Is the money worse than the drunks? As to petitions, they, as we said before, are not counted under the CareyHrI Cothran law, but "He that is not |pp:~ with me is against me," and if the anti's have not a majority on their petitions, it is safe to say that the !'|p majority is in favor of a dispensary here, > JNo one denies that drunkenness is an evil, but there are some people who would make us believe that drunkenness is the only and paramount evil of our country and never open thpir months about. anything else; when the ten commandments? the greatest of all laws?never mentions it; bat it does forbid one thing which we consider the most henioas curse of our country?adultery and fornication. Now, I wonder what Mr. "Searcher After I'ruth" would do with the material that produces these crimes? Every since Noah came out of the ark, planted a vineyard and got drunk on the wine, drunkenness has been prevalent in the world, and all the laws that have been enacted Votta nnt Tii*aTrAntx>r! if,, and T am one U?*TV UVV |#*vt ? of those who believe that nothing bnt moral suasion and proper raising will ever reduce this evil, therefore, we believe to sell whiskey nnder the strictest police control is much better than to have a law we know people will violate, and will never be enforced by the people like one who believes in whatever is right, and thus to throw an influence on the rising generation of disregard for all law. A friend of mine, and a man who does not drink either, told me the other day that he had traveled in the prohibition State of Maine where they have had so-called prohibition for fifty years, and in some towns a worse state of drunkenness prevails than in any town he had ever seen where whiskey is sold under legal j restrictions. | Now, Mr. Editor, we desire no 1 * newspaper notoriety and did not write at first for any such purpose, but to give a few facte and reasons for the action of the board, (though we took no part in getting the dispensary here, not even having been ap- < rwwar.hed with a netition for its estab- 1 lishment,) therefore, this shall be our last in this controversy and we shall i make no further reply to anything else here, but if "one who is searching after truth" will come to us, w*e ! ? wilTdiscuss the matter with him, and, j I think, to his entire satisfaction. !

One time an old friend of mine started a paper < way down South and sent a copy to j me and I subscribed just to encourage j it and after a while it published an ? order to sell a lot at public auction. : So I enquired about the lot and told a j friend to run it up to $56. He bid off the lot at $38 and sold it in less than ( a month for $100, so I made $29 clear, , by taking that paper. My father told { me that when he was a young man he saw a notice in a paper that a ? school teacher was wanted away off , - * nnnnfw and he went and 211 Ot UXOVOJL1U J ?mm -got the situation. A little girl was sent to him, and after a while she \ grew np sweet and beautiful and he married her. Now, if he had not taken that paper what do you suppose would have become of me? I would have been some other fellow, or maybe I would not have been at all. Do you take a paper? If not you'd better hustle and get one at once. G. B. Bur hams Testifies After Tour Tears. G. B.

( State Pays Interest on Bonded Debt. All day yesterday the force in the State treasurer's office was busy sending out money for the semi-annual interest on the South Carolina bonds md coupons and a large amount of money changed hands through the banks of this city, Charleston and New York. Over $5S,000 was sent out on the brown and blue stock, upon which the interest is 4 1-2 per cent., Clemson college and the colored college at Orangeburg each received $2,877, which is 6 per cent, on the agricultural scrip, and Clemson also received $1,737.18, which was 6 per cent, from the permanent bequest to that college. In addition, there was paid on the bonds recently posted by the State treasurer as stolen from the treasury. In the meantime the decision of the supreme court on this case, which is now being tested, will be awaited with interest as there are a number of the bonds in question.? The State, July 2nd. !'

Henry James, the novelist, arrived at 10 o'clock one night at a Florida hotel and could get nothing to eat. The hotel was magnificent and expensive, but its rule was to serve no food after a certain hour, and in consequence Mr. James went hungry to bed. Discussing the hardship afterward, he said: "I felt, indeed, like the tenderfoot who visited an Arkansas hotel back in the '70s. "It was a primitive hotel, and the ompst,. on his arrival, said to the land lord tentatively: " 'Landlord, I'd like a bath.' " 'All right,' was the reply. "And the landlord went out, returning in ten minutes with a tin can of soft soap, a towel, a pick and shovel. "The eastern guest took up the can of soft soap and the towel, but at the pick and shovel he looked askance. " 'What are these for ? he said. " 'Wa'al, stranger,' said the landlord, the water's low an' ye'll hev to dam up the crqek.'"?Washington Star. Constipation.
