C. THURSDAY. AUGUST 17, 1905. and we doubt that if was abolished there t v%*fuivi if*' more. During the jear 1 *04, the State of Sou th Carolina sold over $2,316,'XXJ worth of liquor—to edu cate the children—and it is scarcely possible that, upon the abolition of the dispensary, there would be any such increase in the blind tiger bus iness as would approximate the eur- rentsalesof liquor by the State. And as the blind . tiger business is usually recognized as disreputable, the chil dren would not grow up with the idea that the liquor business was a moral one, as they are now taught under the regime of the great moral machine, which, they are told is run for their benefit. Mr. B. R. Tillman, have you read of a stampede of cattle in the west : and that how a man caught in the- front of a stampeding herd, unless he man ages to pscape to one side, and 1 ts the herd pass him, is surely trampled to death? Well, it will be wiser for you to step aside at present, and let the stampede against the dispensary go its way. If you attempt to turn it, you and your creation, the dispensary system, are apt to go down together. The present fight is not against you. It is against that corrupt State liquor bu iness which has would not be a quorum left next Sun- ( corrupted our people, and become a dis- day; and that he had never known a grace to the State. preacher who would not take a gam- ^ Yofi had better stand aside and leave bier’s money. j the liquor business to fall on its own Church members and preachers demerits.

It’s a pity we can’t go. at this dis pensary rottenness and clean it up in d mbt quick time. The dragging of the State’s shame through months ofdis- C ission and to an uncertain reform, is a sickening prospect.—Charleston Post.

J., tried Monday to hire a wheel chair for his wife for a ride on the board walk. The proprietor re fused to order any of his white lads to push the chair, but said Dr. Crum might have one if lie would himself wheel his wife Dr. Crum declined to do so. It is regrettable that the game law is being so generally violated in this State. The law forbids the shooting of doves between the 1st March and 1st Novem ber, yet few sportsmen pay any atten tion to it. And their neighbors who see the violations of law going on do not report the offenders because they do not wish to make enemies. Right here is good work for the executive committee of the Law and Order League. If one or two of the respecta- were reported be inculcated. Tii* city authorities of Charleston are right in being very careful in en forcing the quarantine regulations, and particularly in enforcing cleanli ness in the city, as guards against yel low fever. It must be borne in mind that this is only the middle of August, and some of t':f‘ most extensive and fatal epidemics that Charleston has ever had have be gan only about the second week in Sep tember. So with nearly three months j of warm weather ahead it behooves our | Charleston friends to be very rigid in { their requirements The Baltimore Sun of the 14th con tains the following press dispatch : Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 13.—Booker T. Washington’s appearance at dinner in the great dining room in the United States Hotel created a mild sensation among the diners. Washington was the guest of John Wannaker, former postmaster general, and acted as escort for Mrs. Barclay Warburton, Mr. Wan- namaker’s daughter, while 51 r. Wan- namaker walked to the table with J. R. E. Roberts. As they walked dow T n the long line every eye was directed upon the group. Comparatively few of those present re cognized any of them, and there was a general buzz of comment and a craning of necks. Mr. Wannamaker is the .overlord of Mr. Ogden, the latter being the mana ger of the great merchant’s department store in New York. The two men are in very close sympathy in their political and sociological views. Tom Dixon has already shown that 51 r Ogden runs a free for all restaurant in connection with Mr. Wannamaker’s store in New York, and he lias charged that 5Ir. Og den took Booker AVashington through negro at every step. iNowHi/Te is shown a much more disgusting recognition of social equality for this negro by 51 r Ogden’s partner and patron —Charles ton Post. MERRITT’S BRIDGE ITEMS. ifficeis of the state divisions of the j Southern Cotton Association has re-1 suited in the most drastic measures being laken. The officers of the Cotton j Atsnciation have issued proclamations! calling upon the farmers not to sell an i other bale of cotton at les> than 12] cents a pound. Farmers in Texas are more worked up over the proposition than those of any other state. They have gone to town with loads of new cotton an 1 there have been met by the officers of their county associations, who have prevailed upon them to take the r cotton back and to wear one of the "We Will Bust Wall Street” buttons. The farmers there are now talking about passing more severe anti-trust laws than ever before. Farmers in their county organizations have passed resolutions putting fines upon any member who will dare come forward and offer to sell cotton at less than 12 jents. The circulars sent out to the farmers by the higher officers show that this this year’s crop cannot be over 9,400.000 bales or less than the amount, of last year’s crop actually exported. They also call attention to th«* fact that last year’s crop has now practically all come into sight and that no surplus now ex ists of this old crop worthy of being oonsidered in any commercial transac tions. The spot men throughout the South have fallen into line and are buying futures, relying entirely upon the far mers to keep their word with regard to 12 cents cotton in the new crop as they did with regard to the old crop and 1C cent prices. The bankers in the coun try are offering the county associations all the money they want so that no far mer will be forced to sell a bale to tide over present emergencies. 51any of the members of the local Cotton Exahange, prominent, among whom are W 1‘. Brown, have their eyes on the existing spot sur Ins with a view of cornering it and squeezing the C"owd who have recently been selling i i New York. It now appears that the most inter esting fight is between the cotton far mers .Mid the bear speclators. But as the farmers have won out in the fight for 10 cents cot ton in the old crop which will amount to 13,500.000 hales and also in the reduction of acreage campaign, and in the fight against corruption in the agricultural department, it is not likely that that they will for a moment waver in their present renewed deter mination against the Wall street clique Committee Will Meet Next in Columbia. The dispensary investigating com mittee meets next in Columbia on August 22. After the sensational de velopments in Spartanburg the public is waiting for more, qnd tin's of course will have its full effect upon the other sub-committees who have other phases, of the situation to deal with. The peo ple of the' State feel that so far as Messrs. Lyon and Christensen are con cerned they have done their share of the investigation and have proved the possibility of graft in the management of the retail dispensaries. This does not mean that there is graft in every the weakness of the And e’en the rude bucket which hung in the well— iron bound bucket. The moss covered bucket which hung in the well! P. B.

Tillman says: “I do not believe that the fall of the dispensary necessarily means my fall.” It does not, unless he mixes him self so with it that both must fall together. Again he says “the people in 1890 were emancipated from dry rot.” If so, the wettest rot followed that lias ever disgraced South Carolina. Again he says, “I would be the last man to lower the ideals of the people. Shrine of the Mighty ! This is the last straw. Solicitor Davis of this judicial cir cuit has written to Governor Heyward asking that an extra term of court to continue two weeks, be ordered for Ai.ien to convene on the first 5fonday Editor Recorder—As it may be that you have not heard from this section in some time, will say that the farmers are very busy gathering their fodder— geting ready for cotton picking, which is now near at hand. But amid the business of everybody there are some not too busy to get married ; for there were two couples married Sunday, the 13th ; they were, Mr. James Glaze and Miss .'.da Wessinger, who were married Sunday morning by Elder J. A. Nap- per at Mr. Porter Glaze’s, the groom’s half uncle; awl the second marriage was that of a Mr. Green and a 51iss Jen nings. The latter was from Warren- ville. They were also married by J. A. Napper at his residence, 5Ir. Napper is getting very popular, or it seems so for he married three couples in one week. And the girl in one instance, it is said, was so anxious or scared that she said yes three times. As the farmers are quite busj’, so are the turpentiners ; and I think that they have something to be busy for, when a barrel of crude brings about seven dol- j Jars—that is high crude, and low brings ! more.

How ardent I seized it with hands that were glowing. Ami quick to the white pebbled bot tom it fell; Then soon, with the emblem of truth overflowing And dripping with coolness, it rose from the well— The old oaken bucket, the iron bound bucket. The moss covered bucket arose from the well. How sweet from the green, mossy brim to receive it. As, poised on the curb, it inclined to my lips ! Not a full, blushing goblet could tempt me to leave it. Though tilled with the nectar that Jupiter sips. And, now, far removed from the loved situation, The tear of regreF- will intrusively swell As fancy reverts to my father’s planta tion And sighs for the bucket that hangs in the well— The old oaken bucket, the iron bound bucket.

And it has been our observation that a newspaper, or indi vidual, who did not care about the opinions of contemporaries had usu ally very little character to lose. The testimony taken in the investiga tion at Spartanburg has been read by every editor in the State, and as far as we have seen, they have formed very emphatic opinions of the dishonorable course of the Journal: and it is imma terial to them whether 51 r.

I One letter sent Senator Tillman not having been answered the following has been sent to the Senator: Spartanburg S. Aug. 12, 19< 5. Hon. B. R. Tillman, Esq., Tienton, S C. Dear Sir—I beg to challenge you to discuss the dispensary law with me in Columbia, S. C., at the earliest date that will suit your convenience. Aw lit- ing your early reply. I nm. Respectfully, C. P Sims. md it vvi correct them tee on the “business management” of the wholesale dispensary consisting ol Messrs. Spivey and Gaston. Ties com mittee is one of the most impor ant and it is presumed they will have their innings next unless the committee on the “directors’ administration” has something to offer. The latter consists of Messrs. Blease and Frazer. In Spar tanburg Mr. Blease placed himself un der cause for suspicion, although he has is-ued a straightforward denial that is generally accepted. It is now believed that he will, as a result of the Spartanburg incident and his possible future political career, make good by conducting a pretty case against some of the members. The first named committee will, how ever, inquire particularly into the rea son for $800,000 worth of whiskey being on hand at one time in the wholesale dispensary. They will also inquire into the conduct of the constabulary force and what they are doing toward enforc ing the law. It cost $60,000 last year for the constabulary, and the commit tee wants to know what they are doing. Give the Committee Information, Columbia State. ft is suggested from Charleston that investigation into dispensary affairs in that county will make the revelations in Spar anburg look like boarding school theatricals, We don’t think it can be so bad as that, but it would be no surprise to ascertain that when* one dollar was obtained through graft or “rake offs” in Spartanburg that ten had been secured in Charleston. It is said, however, that people in Charleston will not talk to the investigators. Why that reticence? They do talk to un official persons, why not to Messrs. Lyon and Christensen? Is it not the duty of good citizens to aid in this kind of sanitation? Is there crookedness in Richland, out- I side the State dispensary? If there is! not, the personality of tue officials is { alone responsible. It is safe to assert j that wherever it has been possible to I o itain "| nils” through bribery and se- j duetiou, tin* liquor and beer establish- j meiits lave obtained them. If condi-| d in Spartanburg are found ; to obtain in thir y other counties it j would not be surprising. “Grafting”! i' like a contagious disease, it does not ^ flourish in on* locality without spread- | ing.

Charleston county only 413 worth only $5 each, Florence 1,879 worth $20 each. Hampton 807 worth $40 each, Lexington 635 worth $7 each, Oconee 1,268 worth $1.50 each.

Miles, member of the State board of control for three years, from 1895 to 1809, gave a brief glimpse to the investigating committee of the "do ings” in the big ru n mill at that time. The thieves appear to have been so nu merous that Mr. Miles lost count. He did not catch anybody robbing the safe so he will call no names, but the dis pensary was a great big blind tiger and the profits went to sundry officials. Mr. Miles and other members of the board got cases of whiskey (samples) which were used as they pleased. Even as far back as 1897—eight years ago—Mr. Miles’ friends insisted on his retiring from connection with an in stitution of such contaminating char acter as the dispensary. Mr. Miles would not tell a great deal, but that which he withheld was even more significant than what he said. The dis ensary was corrupt in its in cipiency. It is symply reeking with moral uncleannest now The people of South Carolina will not endure thevih thing. Even Ben Tillman cannot force the nauseous dose down their hroats now that they fully realize its innate impurity. South Carolina’s Liquor Businesi Interesting dispensary statistics which are believed have never Ibeen published before have appeared ijti the weekly issue off Progress, of .jiwrr pi led TronF official ‘Sources’T5y Ryv. L 51. Rice, of the First Baptist church, of Union. ‘w The statistics show : That theaftiount of liquor sold in the entire Stale in creased from $875,136.20 in 1896 lo tlie enormous sum of $2,316,242.58 in\l904 ; hat the total expenses have jumped from $278,747.66 in 1804 to $488 252.63 in 1904 ; and that the profits have chang ed from $254,334 07 in 1897 to $126,266.00 in 1904, showing that the profits on an invested million are less than the half million invested during the years 1897, 1898, 1899 or, in other words that, as the assets have increased, the profits have decreased. The seizures prove that there is a marked activity some years and in other years a slack enforcement in the matter of apprehending dealers in il licit liquor; it is demonstrated that there was a profit in 1897 of $222,937.31 while the capital stock that same year was $73,067.17—and in 1904 the profits were only $126 266.00 when the stock was $400,000 and the assets about $1,- 000.000. The amount due on liquor at the end of the year 1894 was $43,815.26, in 1904 $510,721.28. The sales at the county dispensaries have increased from $106,131.28 in 1895 to $512,216.35 in 1903. The cost of the famous Palmetto con stabulary has risen from $400,900.43 in 1897 to $66,412.12 in 1904. The receipts paid by local dispensaries have grown from $1,117,803 04 in 1897 to $2,924,300.00 in 1904. These sermons in figures tell the story of South Carolina’s deal in whis key. “A marriage fee,” says the Cynical Bachelor, “demonstrates that even the clergyman may profit by the mistake of others.” Typhoid fever is doing nearly as much damage in Washington as yellow jack in New Orleans.
