mm jlW Ji'f THAT BEDLAM. Mb. Kditob.?In the last issue of the Tinas we notiee the frieodlj controversy, if controversy it nay be called, betweeen yonr elf and "Gleam," in regard to the effect of lieense or no license, in the town of Gaff?s? ney. From the tenor of your remarks rbfijjlkJLre strong advocates of the cause of temperance; one disclaiming that .he ever touched a drop of the soul-destroying stuff; the other proving by his words that approximate "the smell of fire and brimstone" as early as the English lauguage will permit, that he Will get no "quick through ticket" en whiskey's account. Yet we are sorry to see yoti two champions of the grand cause of lempcraneo differing all because in your editorial you called the little town ef Gaffney a "Bedlam" and has taken the council to task for grouting license for the sale of intoziosting liquors. Now, had our friend "Gleam" only consalted his dictionary and rcflcoted a little as to the meaning of Bedlam, which Webster defines u "a mad hquse, or a place where eraiy persons are kept," he must have readily observed that the word was used by you la * very vague and indefinite manner. BThe idea that QafTney was a plaoe where ^ orasy people are kept I You doubtless tin re wag mass disorder (a the town than before lioenses wero granted, which feat would socm truo, or else why the extra police ferce and station henset The drinking and drunkenness 'about the town inny be no greater than before^ yet more Uqnor ie used by the pcoplo from the country. When the town was dry the whiskey-drinking farmer would return from town witk his wagon ; his driver and atk tendaots all sobor. Now somebody comes bomo with new eongs on tboir Hps, their breath smelling of "spioe" and something else nice, with an extra bottle or two for a good ginger stew, with $o or $10 left behind for bad or disorderly conduct. Nothing of this kind occurred ocfore licenses were granted, so far as our well meaning but weak-kneed ooun ?lrj , folks?were ' Concerned. If the town .. . n?nil could not prevent the sate of liquor in Gaffoey, they certaioly did right in signing ths liesnse to bsvo it sold by law, and we bare no aoubt that their aoiion id ihia matUr was exactly correct aincothe petition Was signed by a majority of thr best citizen* #of the town?men who e'aod as high socially, Cftf morally and religiously, os any in any town and church In the land. Now, in abort, Mr. Editor, yon and your firlend "Gleam" differ about this way: You have beea reading and thinking a great deal about the evils of the liquor traffic, and the action of the good people and worthy council of Gaffney hare given you tbo material to ooncretely clothe your thoughts in worda that burn. Friand "Gleam," on the other hand, in his efforts to defend the good name of the town, falls in the error of basing his opinions upon what he hears and observes outwardly, for it is not reasonable to;,., to suppose that a man who never toek a ^^fonk of whiskey or drank a glass sf beer, 4^^ever frequents plauuijfahmy whiskey and beer are sold, nor even Msoetates with peo pi6 who sell the intoxicoting cops, and of ^ eou.se, is not a proficient judge ef the effeots of license. OtrrsinKB. While I endorse most of "Outsider's" letter, there is e stricture I feel called upon to make: He saja, "if the council could not prevent the sale of liquor, and backed by a majority of the best citiions" they did exactly right to grant license. I am informed from a truthful source that the majority of the good people cf dnffney * jproper did not favor the license of barrooms, but the whiskey men with a pretext of ..tit., f 1_..a .tiki. ik. .tt |vmug jjihjtoiuiic ttiiuiu iuc our|>urauQii ui Gaffney bad a new charter procured, extending the corporate limits so as to embrace all the country around, including all the dwellings of every close, giving them the voles for whiskey of the vile popufetion that llsiji hoy si* ??**' * '? ? -wwiBii, at B^M*wveali>^u^^iot in favor of those traps of " Jg^aceTlDfamy end death being opened up Vj* once quiet town. j? \rx^9 Outsider," no man has a right to do even to countenance sin; and is not odian as much right in the sight of High Heaven to lioento the administering of deadly poisons, to s'cnl and ts kill, as to Ueeuse another to deal to his fellow-being a poison that takes the homes, fcod and raiment from heart-broken wives and mothers a^p^ielpless children, and sinks its vioiim, soul and body,in he 1T Fonr-hfths of the expenses of our courts, four-fifths 6f the crimes committed, fourtfifths of the inmates of our prisons and penitentiaries art from the otfeots of liquor* ad I do hope that the roya of light and iruiii -Win prniiraio me moriu vision or "Glo?m" uot^lie Hm the power of discerning and flgbtkug evil whereeer found.

K I have no news, nor muoh information, % but, judging by what other* ray, I think we are doing very well, whilo from some others opinions, wo nrc doing nothing. You soe one cannot tell, but I will fix my decision on the first. We had a meeting on the 8th and initiated one now member, and the meeting previous ?we meet twice a month?there was another initiated, and there are two awaiting initiation. So you can see wo are growing, and sou.ebody is putting confidence in the order. Our hist meeting was quite an enjoyable one, regardless cf the snow on the ground, and the chilly evening, and the place we met in. Our regular place of meeting is in the Santuo Academy building, but on this occasion we could net find the key, and the windows were securely fastened, and for a whilo we wero almost ready t> give up meeting, when one suggested to adjourn to the pines, but thinking the fines might have eyes, we finally settled down in Treasurer Dr. J. P. Thomas' old store, and used as seats old boxer and piles of peas, &c.
