It seems that most of the newspapers of ttie State keep that headline stand ing in type. Dispensaiy scandals come so frequently that it would be a waste ot time to have the printers constantly resetting the heading. The people of the State have come to re gard sucli scandals as being quite maUers-of-course. When a whole ■syi^mSsj^tten it cannot be much of surprise if corruption crops out. The Smith Carolina dispensary has con sistently and persistently shown rot tenness almost from its inception. Tlie line ot scandals, frauds and out rages has been a very long one, run ning through tlie the Darlington mas sacre, Beckroge’s trunk, various re bates, numerous bottles of‘‘samples,” sundry “hocus-pocus keys” to the contraband room, and eliqrtuges and defalcations. The untoward incidents in connection with tbe dispem&ry have been literally too numerous to mention. When Tillman was booming his dispensary pr-ject one of his strong est arguments before the people was the State’s guarantee of tlie purity of tlie liquor which it would sell. “These barkeepers,” he used to say, “are sel ling you poison and charging you a big profit on it. We propose tlwt tlie dispensary shall serve you chemical ly pure liquors. The State’s name on every package will he a guarantee ol what you are gelling. And we shall »rge small profits. You will, there fore, get better liquor at a less cost.” Yet it appears that the dispensary, upon the order of one of the State commissioner?, has been defrauding Us patrons by tlie cheap and mean ex pedient of substituting low grade whiskey under high grade labels. If tills scandal were an exception it might be hoped that the removal ol the commissioner responsible would tie followed by a refonuatiou of the svateui.aiid the elevation of its moral tone: but it is not likely that any thing of the sort will occur. On the other hand, it is probable that the dispensary will go right on breeding scandals, just as it has been doing in the past, and that the newspapers will have much more use for tlie now famous standing headline. The only | remedy for South Carolina’s evil is lithe abolition i f tlie dispensary sys fern and ths substitution of local op Lion.—Say an nail News. CASTOR f A |for Infants and Children.
