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

[ Mr. Editor.?You waro telling of some
IT children who could ouly be induced to do
k anything by telling thera not to do it, and
I tu4^Jhat was your last alternative, so i
ft- thought that I would bo like those children
| and do what you tell us not to do?write,
ftj* Human nature.
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.
The Secretary used the counter for a desk,
and his sent was so low that most of his
writing had to bo dono in a standing position.

INFORMATION WANTED.
Mr. Storks.?The Asbury Post office nerer
receives the Timk8, published on Thursdny,
until the following Saturday evoning.
The Timks for Asbury reaches Jonesville
on Friday a short time after the mail returns
to Gaffney, consequently it remains at Jones*
ville 24 hours. Why could not we get our
paper on Friday ? I expect all other parts
of the County get their Times before we do.
"Vox" says their Tines come on Friday. 1
had rather always get the last issue of the
Timks before I prepare for the next and but
do so I can write no earlier than on Monday.
Tlio matter for the issue of the 21st wss
mailed at Asbury Tuesday, the 18tb, and
w.by did it not reach you ?
