IKE NEW UHR \M SIMPLIFIED.
COT H RAN TELLS IN CONCISE WAY OF ITS
VARIOUS PROVISIONS AND WORKINGS.
rOreenville Nows.]
No one ie bettor prepared to dis
cuss tho numurous features of the
Caroy-Cothran county option bill
than Representative Tbos. P, Coth
ran himself. When seen by a repre
sentative of the Greenville News,
Air. Cothran said :
?'Bearing in mind tho two princi
pal objects to be accomplished by
what is popularly styled the ?Carey
Cothran bill,' its provisions can be
cnore readily followed and under
stood. These objects ?re tue aboli
tion of the State dispensary and the
establishment of local optiou in every
county as between prohibition and
what may be termed ?county dispen
saries.' As a matter of faot there
?an be, under the constitution, no
such thing as a dispensary owued
and operated by a county. Tho con
stitution permits the G?n?ral Assem
bly to authorize county officers ?under
the authority and in thc name of
tho State,' to engage in the business
of buying and selling intoxicating
liquors. This aot comes within this
limitation of the constitution by de
claring that tho various county dis
pensary boards are county officers
and are authorized, under the au
thority and in the name of the State,
to engage in suoh business.
?'The abolition of the State dis
pensary is accomplished directly by a
provision declaring 'that tho State
dispensary is hereby abolished.' It is
also accomplished indirectly by
provision that the sale of liquors, ex
cept ns therein provided, is prohib
ited.
?'The only method provided for the
?aie o? liquor is that by the county
^dispensary boards and manufacturers.
Aa tho feature of most interest is the
?sale by county dispensary boards, I
?shall briefly dispose of the matter of
?ale by manufacturers aud then pass
to that of sale by cbunty dispensary
boards.
"Salp by manufacturers is prohib-j
lted exoopt in counties which have
permitted, by vote or inaction, the
operation of dispensaries under the
old law. In other words, a distillery
can be operated only in ?wet' coun
ties in which dispensaries are now in
operation. The manufacturers are
required to pay a license fee of from
(500 to $5,000, according to oapaoity.
The manufacture in any oounty may
be voted out in the same manner as
provided for voting in a 'county dis
pensary.'
'?Now as to sale by county dispen
sary boards, whiob, for oonvenienoe,
I shall refer to as 'county dispensa
ries.' Every ?wet' oounty is to re
main so until an eleotion be held vot
ing it ?dry,' and the dispensaries now
in operation are to be continued as
?county dispensaries.' Every 'dry'
county is in like manner to remain
?dry.' In 'wot' counties this election
may bo held at any time during tho
year 1907. in 'dry' counties it can
not bo hold until the next general
election, which occurs after the expi
ration of four years from the date of
the election under tho Brice law.
As to Greenville county : The elec
tion under tho Brice law was held in
January, 1900. The first general
election after four years from that
date will bo in November, 1910. Tho
question cannot, therefore, be re
opened in Greenville before that
time. There aro speci?o exceptions
to this rule which apply to certain
counties.

"The election is provided for io
the following manner : A petition
signed" by at least one-fourth of the
qualitied votera of the county must
be tiled with the supervisor before
May 1 of a general election year.
The supervisor then ceders the elec
tion to be held upon the general elec
tlou day in the November following.
The county conventions meet on the
first Monday in May of an election
year, and the requirement that the
petition bo filed before May 1st was
inserted to enable the county con
vention, if it should desire to do so,
to submit the question to the Demo
oratio primary in August. It oan
then be settled by the white Demo
cratic voters, regardless of registra
tion certificates, and this aotion will
be confirmed at the general eleotion,
just the same as its nominations for
all offices are confirmed.
"Should.the eleotion result in favor
of county dispensary, the Governor
shall then appoint a county dispen
sary board for the county, upon the
recommendation of the delegation,
the mayor of the oity and the county
board of education, eaoh body nam
ing one. At the eleotion the voters
may decide whether a part of the
profit shall go to the sohools or to
roads and bridges.
"Purchases of liquor oan only be
made upon competitive sealed bids,
to be opened in public and published.
"The State assumes no obligation
whatever in connection with the pur
chases of liquor. Every dispensary
must stand upon its own bottom.'
The county, not being authorized to
embark in tho business, of course as
sumes no obligation in connection
with it. This was provided to pre
vent whiskey dealers from overload
ing the dispensaries. They must
look to the business for their pay and
will, therefore, be moro discreet in
making sales of the quality and
quantity which will be sold than if
the State or county was the pay
master.
"All liquor must be thoroughly
analyzed. It is intended that no
impure stuff shall be put off on the
people.
"The restrictive features of the old
dispensary law relating to sales tc
minors, intoxicated persons, between
H a UH et and sunrise, etc., are retained.
"Monthly statements by the boards
are required, and every quarter they
muBt report the profits made. These
profits are divided differently in dif
ferent co un ti os.
"A dispensary inspector is to be
?ipointed by the Governor to travel
over the State and oheok up all dis
pensaries.
"The enforcement of the law ie
left to the Governor, if the county
ind oity authorities fail. My con
itruotion of the law is that the con
stabulary system, provided by the
ict, of 1905, has not been interfered
with. I shoe'4 hate very muoh to
iee it disturbed, as I do not think
,he law can be effectively enforced
without having a force specially
;harged with its enforcement."

STRONG WORDS USED IN ADVOCATING THE
STATE DISPENSARY SYSTEM.
Senator LeGrand G. Walker made
the most thoughtful and elaborate
argumont in behalf of the State dis
pensary, according to the Abbeville
Medium, which says he discussed the
Carey-Cothran measure in all its de
tails, and among other things Baid :
" ?The C.-C bill not only throws
no safeguards around the purchasing
power, but there is absolutely no
provision as to the quality of whis
kies, etc, purohasod, and nothing is
said about the amount they may buy.
There is no providion that the oounty
board shall file a sworn statement of
the receipts from licenses. There are
opportunities innumerable offered in
this bill for graft, and the Senators
who support it will bo voting for a
measure whioh will plaoe temptations
before men in their own ? -unities.
"I hear talk about amending the
bill, but it is too late to amend. The
bill came to us as the perfeoted mani
festo of the local option orowd in the
House."
Summarising, Senator Walker stig
matised the Carey-Cothran bill as :
"A compromise with conscience.
"A politioal debt-payer.
"A juggling with reason.
"An outrage on common sense.
"A legislative pharisee and hypo
crite.
"An offense to well balanced judg
ment.
"A confession of insincerity.
"A snare to catch tho unwary pro
hibitionists.
"A dangerous experiment with
local conditions.
"A multiplication of the possibili
ties of corruption 41 times.
"An introduction of the moral boll
weevil.
"An entering wedge to high license.
"An education for the reinstate
ment of the old bar-room system."

Turn on the Light.
[Christian Appeal, February 21.]
Dedioated to the laymen and preach
oi s (excusing the presiding elders) of thc
South Carolina Annual Conferenoe ol
the Methodist Episcopal Church, Smith.
To be sung to the tune of "Tho Camp
bells Are Coming."
"Turn on the light," cri od elder D.,
Turu Ou ?lie i?jf ?i, you eider B,
Turn on the light indeed, quoth he,
The people then will surely see,
And spoil this little game of ours,
This panderer to priestly powers,
Born io the darkest midnight hours,
And full Of subtlety.
Torn on the light, we now demand,
The people, they shall see
This thing of night, that dreads the
light.
And blinds men's eyes unto the right,
And mocks at justioe, vaunts its might,
And gt aba and grabs with grip so tight
The"greeubacks, gold and silver bright,
Won by the toil of many a hand,
Monstrous monstrosity.
Turn on the light thr.t all may soe
This recent innovation,
This thing of evil, fiend or devil,
Fool brooder of dissension
And foe to liberty ;
This noisome smelling, pocket-swelling,
Elder filling, preaoher-killiog,
People billing, nil or willing,
Right-destroying, wrong-distilling 1
Per cent iniquity.
Turn on tho light, moro light, I say,
Bohold ye men and brothers,
This soborne to raise the eider's pay
Regardless of the rights of others,
Of frionds and comrades, preachers,
brothers,
Their wives, their children and thoii
mo'hers,
Who ground beneath thin tyrant's heel,
Scarce darn to speak, or think, or fool,
Lost vonturing so, this monster dread
Should rend their heart, cut off theil
head,
Thon pray for a pretension.
Turu on tho light, turn on tho light,
That whioh is wrong eau no'er be right,
Though clothed in garments pure and
white
And posing as a ohild of light;
Avaunt ye, then toni fiend of night
To thine own habitation;
Thou double euded, muchly mended,
Subtle dealing, much like stealing,
Conseienoe fretting, greed begetting,
Ring beeettiog, life-blood letting,
Per ceut abomination.
Te laymen, harken 1 tell mo, pray,
Shall this vile thing be allowed to stay
And vex our righteous souls forever ?
This oft debated, justly hated,
By all contemned and lowly ral?d
Machine to raise the elder's pay ?
O, tell me, is it here to stay ?
Thank God, I hear you answer nay;
Its doom is sealed, it shall away
And ne'er return, no never, never.
Lo.dc up my friends', fresh courage take,
A brighter dawn is breaking,
The people now are wide awake,
And all their plans are making;
Theo tune your lips and voices strong,
To celebrate in grateful song
The victory won by right, o'ei wrong;
E'en now, all hope forsakiog,
This monster dread hangs low his hoad
In shame and fear and quaking,
See how his knees are shaking.
Come on, my partners in distross,
Your every wrong shall have rodress,
You've seen it oft, you know it all,
How Petor'? robbed for to pay Paul,
Till Paul grown fat, looks sleek and fine;
Poor Peter looks Uko those lean kine
Who in a flt of desperation,
For want of food for mastication
Did hoist their tails and bellowing loud
Bore down upon that stall fed crowd
Of Pharaoh's p?ttb? Callie.
Then wi(h one awful, mighty bawl
They broke their hoads and punohed
their sides,
And ohawed their tails and ripped their
hides,
And ate 'em hoof, head, horns and all,
Nor left a bone to rattle.
My, my! it was a battlo 1
Amen! but what of Paul ? Poor Paul!
Now, brethren, doar, lot's drop a tear
And bow our heads in sorrow,
To-night our hearts are filled with care,
Joy cometh .--n tho morrow.

i Ansel yesterday, on recommendation of
f the Board of Pardons, commuted the
, death sentence to life imprisonment. H.
. *. Adams, of Colloton, is the white roan
who has three times been under sentence
of death, waa onoe a fugitive from jue
tloe with a reward of $1,000 offered for
his capture, and bis oase caused an en
bano session of all the Justices and
Judges of the ?j tato. The commutation
was not recommended by Judge Ernest
Gary, who tried the oase and declared
at tho time that tho vordiot was consid
ered proper. Solicitor Davisdeolarod his
belief that this waa a oruol murder and
an assassination. But Adams's long
light for life has at last ended success
fully. Adams killed Henry Jacques, a
white neighbor, in 1003. He was tried
and on conviction sentenoed to death.
His esoape from the Colloton jail was
the beginning of his struggle. This oc
curred after the Supreme Court bad de

A Live
Wire
Every nerve is a live wire
connecting some part of the
body with the brain. They are
so numerous that if you pene
trate the skin with the point of
a needle you will touch a nerve
and receive a shock-pain it is
called. Aches and pains come
from a pressure, strain or in- 1
jury to a nerve ; the more prom
inent the nerve the greater the
pain. When the pain comes
from a large nerve it is called
Neuralgia
whether it be the facial nerves,
or the heart, stomach, sciatic
or other prominent nerve
branch. To stop pain, then,
you must relieve the strain or
pressure upon the nerves.
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills do
this.
'1 suffered intense pain, caused br
neuralgia. I doctored and usod vari
ous medicines without Rotting reUef
