Spabtanbtjbg, April 10 ?Many of c
citizens, of all political faiths, believe tl
the dispensary is better in somerespe
than open barrooms. The blind tig
and blockade wagons are not as destri
tlve of good morals as open barrooms
midnight with their games, gambli
and other surroundings. But the <
forcement of the dispensary law is v<
obnoxious to most of our people. Tl

Let there be no State constables to anr

make arrests for violation of the h
This would certainly be a great refb
and we believe that a majority of
people would accept it as a wise solut
of the qnestion. Let the voters of e:
county indicate their opinion in the sei
tion of legislators. If the Spartan bi
idea should prevail it would elimin
much power, patronage and influei
from the Governor's office, but that woi
also be a great reform. Each com

Political Gossip.
Columbia, April 15.?The political i
In South Carolina has been considera
dimmed for the past few weeks by
alleged "insurrection" in the State. 1
iticiana and people generally have tal
very much more interest in the outco
of the war talk than In the possible a
cession to Governor Tillman. Pec
care very little just at this time whet
the Reformers hold a convention in j
gust or go into a primary for the no
nation of Governor. The general opin
hereabouts seems to be that the situat
has been somewhat changed by
"war" developments. Whether it 1
accidental or with malice aforethouf
Candidate John Gary Evans got qi
near Governor Tillman during the rec
unpleasantness and by his intimacy i
counselling with Governor Tillman
thought to nave advanced his interest
some extent. Even his opponents
free to adm.t that this circumstance
been of service to him in his Candida
V but say that it will be merely tempor
. and that after the people cool down i
ail- reflect over the matter that Sent
the Evans will be in no better position tl
Bn. j he was two months ago. In any ever
' would appear that the "war" incid
h&t has done Senator Evans more g
i to among his own clan than any othe
tna the half dozen or more candidates in
"I field.
,ry Just at this time it would appear I
per it is John Gary Evans, of dispens
per fame, against the field. Mr. Evan
q2 known to be an aggressive stump spe
, er, and that fact has to be recogni;
^a Some of the Anti-Evans-Irby faction
the ready to recognize the fact that an
iry gressive, double-back-action stu
speaker is needed to meet him. T
do not think that those now in the fi
of are of that calibre. While there is no
ils. feotlon among the Alliance-Reform 1
u. ment to any individual candidate or
Z ability to fill the bill after the nominal
3QC is secured, for some reason it seems to
thought requisite and advisable I
some candidate of unquestioned pugi
10- ity as a stump speaker should be seiet
,jre so that In case It gets to be a two-ham
t. fight that both sides will know wl
they are at. Ic is on this account I
red Congressman John L. McLaurin is lew
jys ing up as a possible candidate, and it ?
w n not be surprising if he should be i nd u
to announce himself as a candidate
>ns Governor. It is understood that ]
the McLaurin has an appointment to sp
n 3. at Florence on the 20th inst, and
,h ' possible that he will at that time thi
down the gauntlet to all the con
1 I* in the Gubernatorial field. In case '
[er, McLaurin takes this step it will be s
, if that it will be a desirable opening
