THE LIQUOR BUSK ESS. Favors the Dispensary Law-High License Opposed-Tillman lo be Upheld. [Abbeville Press nod Usinier, j Tb? Press an<l Banner supports tue dispensary law : Because of the restrictions wliich it placea around the s ile of liquoi. Because ii sells no liquor to be drunk on the premises. Became it sells for cash, which cash ooud'tion is a restriction of the sale. Because property may not be pledged foe the payment of whiskey. Because we believe the quality is purer than that which was formerly sold by bhr rooms. Because tho measure of thc Huid is honest. The bottle contains the amount a*-, represented. Beet?usc the dispensary is closed at suiiK."? rind remains closed until sunrise, thus giving prohibition for that length of lime, instead of the Often bar until a late hour at night. Because the dispensary is olosed on Sunday, which was not always thc case with the side doors of the to ?r rooms. Because lite protits of the liquor ?business ar? put into the public treasuries instead of into the pockets of individuals. We oppose high license : Because it offers no sim*le advant age over thc dispensary. Because it puts the business, which is most dangerous to the morals and health of the people, out of the hands of the government and into the hands of a rich citizen to the ex clusion of the poor man from com petition. BeoauBe, if the government is true to tho people, it must give a super vision of the conduct of the licensed ?dealers, even as it docs of the dis pensary. Because t bc rich licensed dealers must push the sales of liquor in order to make a profil on his in vest mont, und any increase of salo is to dimin ish tho happiness and comfort of thc homes. Because high license offers thc greatest possible inducement to fraud and extortion ill price. We honor and support Senator Tillman in any effort to uphold the dispensary law. ruder bis control ns (Governor he sohl less ami wc had less liquor drinking and less drunk enness than at an) othor time. We honor him for his upright character und temperate life. We honor him for bis clean hands in never having taken a dishonest ?dollar, either in Columbia or in Washington. Wc honor him for bis ability and fearlessness in standing for the right as he secs it and he generally sees it right. But Mr. Tillman pains us beyond degree when he would encourage the rabble to drink liquor. When he says tho Bible docs not discountenance the drinking of liquor and that it does not set its seal of condemnation on the act of riotous .living. When he talks of the profits in thc liquor business as an excuse or necessity for intemperance. When bc teaches people to enter upon a cause thal wrecks annually perhaps a million homes in thc United States, and in the same time sends half a million drunkards to unhonored graves. When he seems to forget that tho dispensary is properly a retardent of thc sale of liquor and not essentially or chiefly a money making institu tion. Whon he does not tell us, when foe quotes the Bible as authority and .diicouragemenl for liquor drinking, ?hat Moses and Aaron, that Peter -tnd John never saw or heard of corn liquor. When bc does not tell us that tho inspired writers of tito Bible never heard of opium or cocaine. When, in speaking of thc Holy Hook, he does not tell us that thc Hiblo would keep our feet from dan <y?rouH paths and our foot prints /rom devious ways. When ho speaks lightly of thc teachings of thc Bible in reference to temperance and society. We would prefer to see : A bar room on every hill, and a still at every spring than to seo our people ?aspired with the belief that they can, with safety, tamper with intoxicating liquors and partake of tho stupefying drugs which ate to day ?verywhere offered. The ho'y; prophets who wrote the Bible, if on earth to-day, would certainly have reference to the temptations aud the dangers which now beset us on every band, and which were uuknowu to them in tboir day. The perplexing questiou is : What profit, if any, should be charged on the prtle of liquor? If it is sold at cost we encourage llie sale and no temperance man would do that. If we charge a high price, the profit is great and the fear is that it may be regarded as a money-making concern. We favor high price : Because the high price rcduoesthe sale, and wo think tho less liquor a man gets for his money the botter off he is nine times out of ten. -.i?

Groouwood, August ll.-"The Spar tanburg investigation will have tho ef fect of mnkiug tho Legislature do Bomo tbing iu regard to tho status of tho li quor question in this State." This is what Sonator Bonjamiu liyau Tillman, father of tho South Carolina dispensary and its chief advocato, said to J. R. McGboo, of tho Greenwood In? dox, yesterday. "I don't beliovo the people of tho State arc going to rid themselves of tho method becauso a sot of rascals are run ning it. And, as I have said before and bavo advocated boforo, tho dispensary is tho proper solution of the questiou iu this State." Sonator Tillman was on his way from tho State Farmers' Instituto, whore bo had boon "to teach thom bow to raiso bogs," as ho expressed it. The Sonator looks well and hearty and tho old-timo Tillman, with all his vigor and tho mat ter-of factness was in evidence as he talked to the editor of the Index. His characteristic phraseology, together with his. forcefulness and earnestness, was most noticeable, and when bo spoke of his pot, thu dispensary, a fatherly light was in bis eye. Speaking of the startling revelations as some would call them - being made in the inner and outer workings of tho sys tem in Spartanburg, tho Senator said that most of tho witnesses so far seemed to bo disappointed office-seekers, and as to tho testimony of Supervisor Miles, bo said that there wore possibly a hundred men in tho State to-day who could say tho samo thing, "that they suspected there was dishonesty." "Hut," he said, "ho wanted the limit and if there was wrong doing, discloso it." Sonator Tillman declared bis faith in the people of tho State as to their re taining tho dispensary. Ile said that county control would not do; that tho largo towns like Charleston, Columbia, Spartanburg and Greenville would vir tually have been bar rooms. ' Tho greatest, most intrinsic, valuablo tl'iiig about tho dispensary systom is tho fact that it destroys tho opportunity for personal greed." When asked directly by his inter viewer as to tho "personal greed" now causing all tho trouble in tho dispensary, as evidenced bv the testimony at Spar tanburg and ol sew here, tho Senator's countenance lit up with a peculiar warmth as ho replied: "Tho Legisla ture had inn in a wholo lot of changes and infernal alterations, and now they expect the people to kill it on account of these. If the board of directors had boon abolished years ago all this trouble would not have come up. When I was Governor, and in charge of the workings of tho dispensary. I kept in touch with every man on tho constabulary, every man in the whole affair." When asked the diroct question by tho editor of tho Index, "Don't you, Senator, in view of all the information ns given out by the Spartanburg investigation, in view of all the public opinion and hear say, really beliovo that the dispensary systom as tho law now stands presents good opportunities for graft'.'" tho Sena tor replied unequivocally: "No, I do not. Would you abolish tho Supervisor's offloo at Greenville on account of the fact that there seems to ho opportunity for graff.'" When the question of^Stato control was brought up, be said that it was thc only way to run tho dispensary. "If counties control, or rather, if tho coun ties should doolde this question for t hem selves, it would mean that tho city in which tho dispensary was located would got all tho pecuniary honelit. Au it stands now, each school district in tho oounty gets a portion of tho fund, thus benefiting all." Ho said that political enemies of tho dispensary won; taking advantage, as a matter of fact, magnifying tho discou tout and dissatisfaction, and in this way hoped to destroy it. Ba?r? tbs ?4lhi Kind You Hate Always Bought You Must Sleep. If you cannot, it is due to an irritated or congested state of the brain, which will soon de velope into nervous prostration. Nature demands sleep, and it is as important as food ; it is a part of her building and sustaining process. This period of unconsciousness relaxes the mental and physical strain, and allows nature to restore ex hausted vitality. Dr. Miles' Nervine brings refreshing sleep, because it soothes tlie irritation and re moves thc congestion. It is also a nerve builder; it nourishes and strengthens ev ery nerve in your body, and creates energy in all the organs. Nothing will give strength and vitality as surely and quickly as Dr. Miles' Nervine. "During- tho past winter I had two attack* of l.aOrlppo which loft mo very weak, and in bad condition. I was BO nerVOUfl I could not Bleep. My wife, aftor trying1 different remedies, went for a doctor. Tho doctor was out, and a neighbor recommended Dr. MIIOR' Nervino, and Bho brought home a bottle.

Keig to control his air brakes, an ex cursion train from Kingston, N. C., bound to this city, plunged through an open draw in a bridge over the western branch of the Elizabeth river at Bruce station, eight miles from here, this afternoon, and 50 persons (48 negroes and 2 whites) were drowned. Up to a late hour to-night only 7 bodies had been re covered from the wreckage. Tho list of injured numbers 100; none fatally. Thc e>oursion managers, both white, were drowned. The train was composed of an engine and six coaches. Thc engine and two cars went through the draw, leaving four cars on the track. One car was completely, thc other partly, sub merged, Nothing is visible of the locomotive. It is believed every oc cupant of the first car perished. The dead can bc gotten out only by div ing under tho car. The scene fol io wing the wreck was one of inde scribable horror, with the shrieking of men, women and children, who were drowing, struggling out of the i patily submerged coach and floating i in thc river. The engineer and fire man escaped by jumping. Allow the Law to Take ?ts Course. We have a proof of the wisdom of allowing the law to take its course in thc case of the Kershaw county negro, Aaron Williams. After es caping the fury of a mob bent on his death, he was tried and sentenced to thc gallows. He was too poor to employ a lawyer, hut tho attor.iey appointed by the court to defend him made a brave fight. After his conviction, some facts were brought to light which led a number of repu table citizens to doubt his guilt. Lawyers were employed who secured a new trial for him.. When thc case was called a few days ago, his al leged victim refused to appear and testify. His lawyers demanded a trial, but the State was unable to proceed with the prosecution, hence the negro has been set at liberty on hip own recognizance. The authori ties are pretty sure now of his inno cence. Only a short time ago rm in nocent negro in Sumter came very near hoing lynch ad for a crime for which another has since beeo found guilty. Give us speedy trials in all such cases, but do not, under any circumstances, let an innocent one suffer.-Green ville Mountainner.

JOHN A. HARBIN, Quail fled Administrator o? tho Ks tate of Lucinda Phillips, duconsod. August lt?, 1006. 88-87 I AM DETERMI! LIVERY E A Word of Advics. Some years ago when there was a disposition among some of our poli ticians to discard the Democratic party and align themselves with the Republicans we gave some good ad vice and saved some of them from political death. The time has come again for us to give a word of wami g and advice. If you have political ambition and a patriotic desire to serve your country aud be of some use in your day and generation don't be in a hurry to mix up with the crowd that is now mak ing war on the dispensary. Theil vociferation is moro than theil strength. They can't run successful politics in such a way. The noise they have been making has served to arouse the friends of sobriety, or in other words those who believe in thc regulated sale of whiskey instead ol blind tigers and they will rout the combination in short order. It is a good political rule never to do anything to-day that can be put off until to-morrow, for something may happen in the meantime. In this case those who jumped at the conclusion that the dispensary was gone after Cherokee and Pickens voted as they did, Lave found that they moved too soon. Something has turned up and a great change has some over the people who will sustain tho dispensary system. The young man who casts his fortunes with the combination of blind tigers, moon shiners and disappointed politicians digs his own grave. Such au alliance cannot last long, for tho interests of the different elements making it up ure not the same. The blind tiger wants to sell whiskey, the moonshiner wishes to make it and the politician is actuated by a spirit of revenge for dis retirement. Another factor in the movement against the dispensary is pulpit poli tics. The question has been dragged into the church and the test now is not your belief in any Christian doc trine, but how do you stand on the dispensary. The politician who joins in the hue and cry against the dispensary now invites his own destruction. If you have any expectations our advice is to avoid that combination.

Startling dispensary statistics, whicli iro bolioved to havo never been pub* lisbod, havo boon carefully compiled by Kev. Ii. M. Hice, of tho First Baptist rdiurch of Union. These statistics show: That thc amount of liquor sold in tho entire} State increased from $875,134.20 in 1896, to the enormous sum of $2,816,242,58 in 1904; that tho total expenses havo jumped from $178,747.?ti in 1894 to $488,258 68 in 1004; and that tho profits have changed from $254,844.07 in 1807 to $126,266 in 1908, showing that tho profits on an in vested million aro less than the half mil lion invested during tho years 1807, 1898, 1899, or, in othor words, that as thc assets havo increased, tho profits have decreased. The seizures prove that there is a marked activity some years ?md in othor years a slack enforcement in tho matter of apprehending dealers in illicit liquor; it is domoustrated that there was a profit in 1897 of $22,987.81, while thu capital stock that samo year was $78,067.17, and in 10OI tho profits were only $126,266 whon tho stock was $400,000 and tho assets about $1,000,000. Tho amount due on liquor at thu end ol' the year 1904 was $48,815.26, and in 100-1 $510,721.28. Tho sales at tho county dis pensarles havo increased 5rom $100,721.2? in 1805 to $512,216.86 In 1908.
