EVILS OF !J -A.rmecl Constables-JN Impt '/. IJ. Trtbble, in X">i So much has been said in favor of prohibition, and against thc dispen sary law, it may seem like threshing over old straw to discuss the matter further. In submitting this I do so consci ous of the fact that there are good men who regard the idea of prohibi tion in the liquor traflio as utopian, and some who think we are uot ready; but when will we he ready? Cati a drunkard get sober while you keep him full of liquor all the time? His only safety is to quit and stay quit. So the only way we can ever get ready for prohibition is to stop thc sale of liquor as a beverage and stay stopped. Thc Government is not going to make an effort to keep people from buying liquor so long as the Government keeps it on hand for sale. My objections to thc dispensary law may be briefly stated, and the aame reasons that made me opposed to the old bar-room system, urges me to oppose the dispensary. First, the old bar room system was an unmitigated evil. I have not yet met a decent man who favors the dis pensary law, that does not admit that the dispensary is an evil. It is char acterized as the "lesser of the two evils." No man can ever get my consent or vote to maintain that which is con ceded by it- friends to bc an evil. "Thou shalt not follow the multitude | io do evil," is just as binding on men . to day as when first declared by the | Divine law giver. Second, it cannot be successfully , denied that the dispensary law front its inception has been a great politi cal machine. I>id the old bar-room Hystcm debauch and corrupt our poli- ? tics?,- lt was nut a circumstance in . comparison with what has been ac complished through the dispensary ! law. AH lite powers of the Govern- ' ment, the Legislative, .Judicial and Executive, by the party whip was brought to one mind, one aim and one purpose, and that was made coustitu- j ?ional which had been declared to bc : unconstitutional. Third, not in thc history of our j State can another law so radical and 1 drastic be found; a law whose origina- | tors realized from its inception that it j would require au armed constabulary to onforce its provisions. The people who drink liquor must be forced to drink at thc fountain furnished by Hhe State. Men, under the merest pretext, have been shot down, and if perchance a jury should be found to convict the constables the iuk was scarcely dry on their verdict before the word "Pardon" was flashed over the wires, and the murderous consta ble was received with open arms and -encomiums of "Well done good and faithful servant." What was all this prostitution of justice for? The an swer must be obvious to all unpredju diced thinking people. This great political machine had the right of way. It must and shall be sustained,-thero is power and boodle in it for Home body. Fool the people! Yes, the -people hive been foolod ofteu. The publio conscience was sought to be deadened with the educational idea. Profits in liquor business had become rather large, (evil always comes high) : and so the idea was conceived of tak ing part of the profits to help run the . common schools. Well, you can buy some people mighty cheap. Esau sold this birth-right for a mess of pottage, and BO the publio conscience was sup posed to be satisfied with a little sop : of pottage from the dispensary profits. Does the amount turned over to the common schools exceed two per cent of the profits? AB I have not the figures before me I will not undertake to say. What is the result? We are made to do evil, to engage in evil that good may come. You see it is a moral(?) institution the State runs, and then it is educational. (May God pity the children of that people whose moral perceptions arc blunted and deadened, and whose education is dependent on damnable profits.) Now and then I see some man vehe mently boast,: "I am just as strong a prohibitionist as yon are, but prohibi tion don't prohibit, ergo I am in favor of the dispensary. It's the lesser of the two e'ttls." Then he triumphant ly points yon to what some men have said in disparagement of prohibition in the State of Maine, and then he ?would scare yon by telling you to re member the old bar-room system. Yes, he stopped you from getting less than half a pint, -?nd from getting it from sunset to sunrise. But mark j you, the men who WAS accustomed to -getting his one drink is prohibited from getting less than half a pint. The advocate of the dispensary may bt&Bl Outr drunkenness has been less ?ISPENSAKY. fen Shot Down With mitv. /// Caroltit'i Iftijilist. encl in thc cities, aud fewer cases brought in Mayor's Courts, but he never gets thc facts about the mau who got thc half pint, ao<l then got drunk after he left town before he got home. Talk about thc dispensary lessening the consumption of liquor as a beverage! Then why does the State Hoard have to meet every month to lay in increased stocks of liquor. Surely the bottle maker has had a bo nanza. Well might he exclaim, "Let me make bottles for thc South Caro lina dispensary and I care not who makes ber laws!" Hut true prohibitionists are not go ing to bc fooled by all this scare-crow business; not while thc present consti tution remains in force. Most of them know that Sectiou II, Article VIII, stands in thc way. It lias a little previous clause which reads as follows: ' Provided that no license shall bc granted to sell alcoholic bev erages in less quanitics than one half pint, or sell them between sun down and sunrise; or sell them to be drunk on the premises. And provided fur ther that the General Assembly shali uot delegate to any municipal corpora tion the power to issue license to sell the same." I'pou this the prohibi tionists stand, and thc niau who as serts to the contrary simply misrepre sents them, and does so from a selfish and mercenary spirit. Again, one mau says tho people will have liquor. If they will, then let some one else furnish it. 1 must de cline by my vote lo be a party to the salo, and the man who sells it shall not bc my agent. Only murderers are supposed lo a.ik the question: "Am 1 my brother's keeper? livery honest man should feel his responsibility to his neighbor. A poor dissipated mau comes to me and say.-: "I am bound to have liquor, sell me some." I say ti? myself. "Well, ?his man says he is bound to have it, if I don't let him have it and get the profit out of it some one else will, and my conscience is clear be cause he says he just will buy it." "No," your dispensary man says, "I would scorn to do that." Your man is bound to have it, and so I'll just let thc State sell it to him. (), no, I could not think of taking that man's money for liquor, but I'll let thc State take it and usc part of the profits to educate tho children. I am a moral mau nryoclf.'' Ah ! these self same righteous Phari sees! They will strain at a gnat anu swallow a camel. They look for "motes" in the eyes of the prohibi tionists but never consider the great "beam" that is in their own eye. He justifies the sale of liquor by his State because the man said he was bound to have liquor, and his State could get the profits of the trade. Ile was too clean and holy to do it himself, but he would make thc Government do the evil business. We may grant that some will buy liquor, and that there are many men who can use it with moderation, but to every one who eau thus control his own appetite, there are hundreds that are helpless. Such men need help and restriction. ? Then how can any moral upright man vote to continue his Government in a busi ness admited to be an evil,-a busi ness the voter would not think of do ing himself for a moment; a business that increases degradation, degenera tion, want, misery and crime? Every man who votes to perpetuate the dispensary law says by that aot to the thousands who aro addicted to the liquor habit: "buy all the liquor you want. You are a free born American. It is your privilege to make a hog of yourself if you want to,-go in and take your fill. Youoan shoot and kiil while drunk. Our juries are men of like passions, and will mike apology to the world for you, because yo i were drunk." Now, I insist if the S tut o ia to be plaoed into this liquor business for all time, the proits should be used to establish a drunkard's asylum. I deny the right of the Government to make her citizens drunkards and pam pers, and then when they have no money to buy bread and meat to force the tax payers to maintain them. No man need tell us he is a prohibi tionist and yet rofuse to vote for pro hibition. There is one eternal and divine law by which we are authorized to judge men. "Do men gather grapes or thorns, or figs from thistles? "He that is not for us is against us." "By their fruits ye shall know them." The tree is known by its fruit. The fruits of the dispensary law have been bitter and bloody. It has been honey com bed with frauds and perjuries, deceit and lying. (Thc publio has hardly forgotten tho disclosures in the Dou thit caso, but it was all hushed whon the Legislature convened.) This DO- \ lug inc- cune, iliis diapeutmry ircu ioai flourishoth so, and like the deadly Upas fatal to all who oome under its shade, should ho dug up root and branch. The prohibitionists have laid the azo to the root, and let all who will come to our help. Gol. Hoyt rill do the chopping, the voters must do the digging with united purpose, with no other interest in view than that of purity in publie life and politics, and the good of humanity. Wo can afford to dig away heeding not the sneers and jeers of those who seek to make us partners in thc liquor business, until this great dispensary tree that spreads its branches abroad shall fall to rise no more. J. L. Tm un LI: . Anderson S. C. ; June 27, 1900. W. C. T. U. DEPARTMENT. Conducted by tho ladies of thc W. C. T. U. of Anderson, S. C. The Criminal Responsibility of Inebriates, j The publie sentiment toward the criminal inebriate i.; that bc may un consciously, or by force of poison, or through a diseased judgment, commit a crime; but heretofore the sentiment also has been that he was responsible for being and inebriate, or for being intoxicated, and therefore thc respon sibility includes thc criminal act. Many countries have laws bearing upon this subject. In thc I'nited States thc law recognizes no pica of irresponsibility by reason of 'intoxica tion; but in actual practice there is a recognition oftentimes that a chronic inebriety is a diseased condition. New York State, some fifty years ago, class ed confirmed drunkards, relating to icgal responsibility, among thc "lu natics, idiots, and persons of unsound mind." A law similar to this exists in Manitoba. In Austria if a drunken person com mits a crime, he may be punished for becoming intoxicated, but not for thc crime, provided it is established that he did not premeditate thc crime and become drunk in order to nerve his courage to the cruel deed. In Ger many and Switzerland there arc laws recognizing differences in responsibil ity relating to culpable or inculpable drunkenness. In Italy the law pro vides that if crimes are done during intoxication, one-third of the punish ment, whether in time of confinement or amount of fine, is remitted. In thc sixteenth century thc law of England provided that capital punish ment must be executed, though the criminal was cntiroly unconscious at the time of crime, and even if it was not premeditated. The lawmakers, no doubt, took the view that if the criminal had been sober at the time of committing thc act, instead of drunk, possibly thc act would not have been committed. This would appear rea sonable. In the eighteenth century Lord Mansfield went further in his in terpretation of and rulings under this law, holding that?druukenncss is a clime itself, and that the law could not condone one crime hy another. Coke ruled that thc drunkard is a vol untary madman, and thefore responsi ble. Thc ancients had law on this sub ject. The lloman law provided for mitigation during intoxication, but the Greek abhorred intemperance, and his law showed drunkenness no favor in the commission of crinjes. In one of thc i J reek States, Mitylenc, under the ruler I'ittacus, the punishment was doubled for crime committed dur ing debauch. In modern times judges are disposed to hold that drunkenness is no excuse for crime, and that a criminal act done during a debauch is as punishable as one done by premeditation, when the criminal is entirely sober. An in stance of this ruling occurred in a noted case in which two friends be came intoxicated, and one killed the other, imagining that his. friend was assaulting him. This case occurred in England. The judge held that the prisoner was guilty for the reason that he was responsible for his drunken condition. It would appear to be olear that a large number of crimes are done by people in a condition of debauch who premeditate the crime, become drunk en as a preliminary to the crime, and do the deed when under the influence of the poison. The question would appear to be to settle the point of pre meditation or determination or inten tion to commit the orime, rather than to hold ty person guilty becau?e he ?as respousiblo for getting draak.

We knew that, however, several years ago. We originated that brand and advertised it too long ago for the fresh inhabitants of a foreign planet to presume DOW to claim the hon or of it This we can prove by the thousands of pleased customers we have made on that braud aud held them over all competition throughout the eight years we've been prescribiug it as a balm for all the woes weak ttoniacbs are a prey to. We wish oulj to put the eating public on notice that there is then but one genuine and original DE VN'S PATENT FLOUR, and that is sold by us. All other imitations are spurious no matter where they come from. It is nevertheless a noteworthy fact that DEAN'S PATENT does totally eclipse all other flours-a fact admitted by all, but first proven by its great merits wherever tried side by eide with others. The facts in the case are that we are just eclipsing all competition, if we ever had any. That's another big eclips?. Just watch the FLOUR, MEAT, CORN and TOBACCO !
