HERE COMES THE DISPENSARY.
Governor Tillman Orders it to Resume Operations
on August 1.
When the supreme court decision declar- j
ing the dispensary law unconstitutional was !
rendered, The Enquirer predicted that the
dispensary would only he closed until there j
was a change in the personnel of the supreme
court, or another session of the legis- J
lature. Judge Gary takes his seat on the
supreme court bench within a few days. In
several of his speeches during the past week,
Governor Tillman has said that the dispensary
would he opened on August 1. By a
proclamation, published last Monday, all
further doubt about the matter has been j
removed. Following is
THK PROCLAMATION".
STATK OF SOUTH CAROLINA?KX KCt'TIVE CHAM- !
BKR.
Whereas under the provisions of an net "to'
prohibit the inaniifacture and sale of intoxiea- I
ting liquors, as a beverage, within the State, ex- J
eept as herein provided," approved December
24, 1892, the State assumed control of the legal 1
liquor truffle in South t'uroliua, commencing
July 1,1893; and whereas the said policy and
purpose of the State to permit the sale of!
liquor, by and through-the State's officers only,
was reaffirmed by an act, approved December !
23, 189.1, entitled "An act to declare the law in ret- j
erence to and further regulate the use, sale, consumption,
transportation and disposition of alco- i
holic liquids of liquors within the State of South
Carolina, and to police the sameand whereas)
the supreme court of the Stato of South Carolina |
by a decision rendered the 19th of April, 1894, !
declared the first act, above mentioned, unconstitutional,
except one small proviso of one section.
The executive, in obedience to what he
concei ved to be the will of the court, closed all the
dispensaries and discharged the constabulary.
In a subsequent decision the court, still ignoring
the act of 1893, above mentioned, construed
iLs decision to mean "There can be no legal
sale of liquor bv license," but has seemingly on
purpose omitted to mention or construe the act
of '93; and whereas the State of South Carolina,
' "*L "
acting' iu goou iauii iiiruugu mc ?wi?.. v. ~
of the government, and relying upon the decision
or the supreme court in the case of Hoover
vs. the Town Council of Chester, in which it was
declared t hat the act of 1892 'was in effect an act
to regulate the sale of spirituous liquor, the power
to do which is universally recognized," has
invested large sums of money in liquors for sale
under the provisions of the two acts mentioned;
ami whereas this liquor is now being held at
heavy expense while the State is flooded with
contraband whisky, sold without authority of
law.
* Now, therefore, I, H. R. Tillman, governor of
the State of South Carolina, in exercise of my
discretion, as executive, do issue this, my proclamation
and declare that the said supreme court,
having adjourned, without, in anywise giving
expression in regard to the act of 1893, that the
said act is of lull force and effect, and will
be enforced in accordance with my oath of office,
until the court shall have passed upon the same,
or until the legislature shall have repealed it.
The county dispensers in tho various counties
will open their dispensaries on Wednesday, August
1. All persons interested, including public
carriers, are notified that importation of liquors
will be at the risk of seizure and prosecution,
and all contraband liquors found in the borders
of the State will be seized and confiscated according
to law.
In testimony whereof, I havo hereunto set
my hand and caused the great seal of the State
to be affixed, at Columbia, this 23d day of July,
A. D. 1894. and in the 119th year of the independence
of the United States of America.
B. R. TILLMAN.
By the governor:
J. E. Tindal, Secretary of State.
Governor Tillman declines to tulk ou the
subject of his proclamation and says that it
speaks for itself.

county, was bitten on the index
finger by a rattlesnake one day last week.

For two or three meetings in the canvass :
you have dodged me on the issues, both i

you to meet me at Union C. H., at 5 o'clock
p. m., July 31st, 1894, in joint debate upon j
the political issues, both State and national, j
in this campaign, I to open for two hours :

The BlufRoit Sufferer*.
? Mr. Thomas K. Hey ward, of Blufflon
township, Beaufort county, still insists that
the representations of Mr. W. \V. Price in
the Columbia Register, as to the condition of
the cyclone sufferers and the outrageous conduct
of the Red Cross officials, are true. He
says when the people recently appealed for
help, about $6,000 was the least amount that
they could get along on, and so far they
have received about $3,000. They need
it badly and need it right now.

A Statement by Mr. George L. Riddle.
Zkno, S. C., June 20,1804.
To Whom It May Concern:
I have been informed that an agent of a certain
old line life insurance company trying to do
business in this section, has been making an
unwarranted use of my name in his efforts to l
induce citizens ot York county to buy his high
priced insurance instead of that furnished by
the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, of
New York, in which lie knew I was carrying a J
policy. He has made the statement, so I am re- J;
liably informed, that I had dropped my policy .J
in the Mutual Reserve and taken one in his.
The statement is without a shadow of foundation,
as I never so much as thought of sueli a
tiling. I took my insurance in the Mutual Reserve
because its rates were less than half those
charged by the old line company in which I
had been carrying a policy, and which I dropped,
and because I could not find the slightest evi- n
deuce that the Mutual Reserve was not entirely 1
honorable, reliable and prompt in meeting its .
obligations, except the statement of old line L
agents, and that didn't amount to anything with i
me. I have every reason to believe that my in- [ c
surance is of the best quality and expect to continue
to carry it. I have had the policy nearly
two years and in that time have saved $224 in
premiums, notwithstanding the fact that I was J
three years older when I insured in the Mutual 2
Reserve than when my policy was issued in the
old line company. I make the foregoing state- j
ments because I consider them due to the Mu- j
tual Reserve, to Sam M. and L. (leo. Grist, its c
agents, and to any who are likely to be infiu- 1
enced by the use of my name in the connection j'
in which the too zealous old line agents have >.
been using it, In conclusion I will say that I
unreservedly endorse the Mutual Reserve and t
am convinced that its insurance is the kind peo- c
pie should have whether rich or poor?absolute ' j
protection at the lowest possible cost. I

Lithia Water for Kidney Trouble.
To get the proper benefit from lithia or any,
other mineral water, the system should be kept
thoroughly saturated with it all the time. Not j
less than a half gallon should be taken every
day. I took Hutl'ulo lithia, which cost me nearly
one dollar a gallon, as long as I could afford it.
The Durham Springs lithia was recommended' .
to me, and I found 1 got more benefit from it >
than from the Buffalo water; for the reason,;
perhaps, that I drank it more freely. I think it!
equal to the Buffalo or any other lithia water
that I have tried. It has the advantage over 4
other lithia waters in that it does not deteriorate
or lose its virtues by being kept in bulk. We offer
it at 20 cents a gallon in half gallon bottles? j
bottles to bo returned; or 1"> cents a gallon in <

WITHOUT
A PEER.
<? man lias ever yet boon able to toll of a singlo
point of superiority that any bicycle on
tlio market possesses over the MONARCH, ami
this is duo to the fact that sneli a tliinj; is impossiblo.
The MONARCH is as hamlsomo as any;
it is as iliirablo as any, and far ahead of any that
are sold in this seetion ; it is as low in price as
any of the recognized high grade wheels; aud it
is the LKiHTKJST running wheel on the market,
which is due to the superiority of its bearings.
During an experience of nearly two years as
agent for this wheel, I have had scores of riders
and owners of various other makes of wheels to
ride or try the MONARCH, and the universal
verdict has been (except where 1 innocently had I
an agent for some other wheel to try mine) that
it was the lightest running machine they ever
rode.
All MONARCH riders are satisfied. The.y
know they have tlic best wheel that money turn
skill ean produce, and that "they can keep in
front." An honest investigation of the merits of
the MONARCH is all that is asked.
S. T. KRKW A'Co., of Rock 1 fill, will sell you
a MONARCH. See them about it. They are

ALMOST EVERYBODY
WILL admit that lirst-elass groceries ar<
more desirable than those that are not it]
to the top notch. We believe that every one o
our customers, ami they are legion, will sa1
without hesitation that we sell only top-note!
groceries. It has, from the first day we com
inenced business, been our one aim and purpose
to sell the people of this community a el as
of goods that would make them know that wi
cared something for the interestsof our custo
mers, and also that there was more than on
grade of goods on the market. Each day w
nave practical testimony of the wisdom of on
course. People who buy from us once, usual);
become regular customers.
There are a Few Peoplt
However, who have not yet tested our claims
and we desire to have them try us just one time
We think we can convince them that we kno\
our business and are entirely competent ot sin
taming our claims as to quality and price. <1
course the people whose patronage we solicit ar
now patronizing some other establisment, am
we are willing that they continue to do so utiles
we can thoroughly demonstrate the fact that it i
to their interest to turn their faces in our direc
tion. We can't prove our claim unless they mec
us half way. Of course if they are satisfied wit!
the goods they are buying and the price
they are paying, it is their duty to stay wher
they are, becausea satisfied man is an individus
to be envied during these closing years of th
Nineteenth century.
We Wont Say What
We have in stock or what our prices are. Tim
and space forbid; but will close these remark
by saying that our stock is complete and price
are such as will please customers and anno;
competitors. Come and see us. Come today i

NOW7, we last week told you plainj
ly, that if you had dysentery or bowel
j complaint of anykind, 1)10 DIS would
. cure you for 25 cents.
? This medicine is put up in small
boxes, containing ten powders and a
r
small vial, with full directions 011 the
j box. It is not unpleasant to the taste
i> . .
f and will relieve and cure in 24 hours,
y
t as has been the case of about twenty
? others since the appearance of our
I advertisement in last week's EnQUIRr
ER calling the attention of the public
y
to our remedy. Since then we are
k prepared to furnish testimonials from
J
those who have been cured.
Remember that DIO DIS is the
V
cure for ALL bowel troubles. Eat or
1 drink anything you want. It is peris
* fectly harmless. Contains 110 poison ;
l! 110 dangerous ingredients. Now come
s
e and get a box for family use, and when
0 the children come in crying with
pains in their little stomachs, just
give them half of a' powder and you
0 will hear 110 more from them. Health
H
* is everything. So says the man of
1 money. DIO DIS says I will cure
dysentery and bowel troubles. Try it.

THAT'S what we are all doing?in a measure.
Honestly, wo don't sell "floods at cost!"
and if our goods are ever sold at cost it will be
done by the sheriff. We see no indications ot
such a calamity, and we do not anticipate anyi
thing of the kind ; and the reason is we make it
] a point to lead the procession and we do it by
I keeping a full ami complete line of the latest

(ienerally, and paralyzing competition. Life is
too short and uncertain to waste it in trying to
convince people that they shouldipay ?1.50 for 81
in value. We learned this early in our career,
and we find that it was a valuable lesson. We
have every facility fordoing business and we are
employed by the year?not on commission?and
can afford and are willing to handle two car
loads of Furniture, Stoves, etc., for the same
profit that is ollen obtained by the out-of-date
dealeron one load. You can't afford to ignore
us. You'll like our goods and our prices will
amuse you.
i Today is the Right Time
To invest in an Ice Cream Freezer or Water
Cooler. We have a large stock of both and we
will maintain our reputation for low prices.
Don't put off buying until next fall.
