Tho Dispensary and Hs Evils. Editors Courior: Thorn is much hoing said about tho dispensary pro and con. but all seem to think tho dispensary and tho enforcing of tho same havo broke up the elioit and the blind tiger business It ?B a fact that tbore ia no honso inside of tho towns doing business, but tho illicit stills aro running in spite of Cor bin and tho constables. They out two down to-day, but tho next day thoy have some up aud running af. they did the day before; so tho woodr. and coves aro full of tho elicit all thc timo. Wo will nearly a'! vote against the dis pensai y, but the, e ia scarcely a single family hut would take a little of the olioit if bo could manage to got it. Why is this? Tho fact ia thoy are afraid to touch thu dispensary. Thoso that have tried it say it will burst a man's hoad They have no confidence in it. They say it is cheap stuff and thoy havo no faith oven in tho mon who manage th big tank in Columbia, and justly so, too. for you recollect what had boon dono iii Columbia in this great moral business Many of them that have boon managing the bu.. ines s now should bo in tho pcm tentiary, but our State officials have hoon handling them very tenderly. Bu as a general thing people aro not pun ishod for big crimes-it ia only for small ones. Thoy will lock up in pi ison a boy for stealing a toy, but a. big man can steal a penitentiary brick yard and all and nover he 'punished. One little man may sell a quart of blockade and ho will havo to work in th chaingang 00 days, and another man will shoot down his neighbor for a trillo, and if he can raise a few hundred dollars to pay a slick lawyer ho is out in a tow days and everybody is shaking hands with him and aro so glad. Oh, consistency, bo consistent; don' strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. Now lets voto away tho dispensary Do not bo Itfraid of tho tiger and tl elicit. It is hero now and will be diBpen Bary or no dispousary and puttit g away tho disponnsary will only lesson tb temptation to thoso who thirst after strong drink. This dispensary has helped to kill sovoral young mon in th last fow years and has sovoral mor trembling (I mean in Walhalla.) Nover mind about money to run the Behool. Mon who havo children to send to Behool aro ablo to pay thoir tuition, aa thoy did before and how Christian men can speak of this whiskey money to pay their children's tuition I must oonfosa I do not undorstand. Bo consistent; semi your children to school and pay thoir tuition with dispousary money and then soo ono of your boys or ono of your neighbor's boys toddling on tho street with a stomach full of "kill mo quiok." It 1B a common saying, and very true, that chickens will como homo to roost. Tho State cannot do this business and wo shun some groat calamity. You may have an oily tonguo and Bot up your reasonings, but in this matter you will not bo the judge. God ia to bo tho judge and money will not pay you out. You say dispensary boforo barrooms. I say so, too, but putting away tho dispen sary will not opon the barroom. We do not need oithor. Put both away and thou wo will havo ino gallons where we only nood ono. I havo lived an aotivo lifo for 30 years in Walhalla and I must confess with shamo that drink is on tho Incroase. It is woll kuowu by all who know mo that I never in 30 years have spent ono cont in a bar room or In tho dispensary. I loamed hotter when a boy and had it not been for this cursed thing I would havo boen now enjoying advantages that I do not. I ea men oxpross In words how I bate and havo fought both of thoso ourxii.i. It always did mo good to succned in keep ing men and boys away from thoso auoko. If you do not believe what I aay ask the dispensers at Seneca and Walhalla how much monoy thoy Uko in oaob day and it will convinco anyono what we aro drift ing into. J. E. Hendrix. .
