It matters little what the Legisla ture does with the dispensary the question will not be settled until the people settle it in the primary this Hummer.__ ^ A few years ago, when cotton was five cents a pound, there was an exo dus from the country to the towns, and mill labor was plentiful. . Now farm life is prosperous and the mill hinds have gone back to farming. Sberff Gilreath and policemen of Greenville raided the "Physical Cul ture" club, the "Union1' club and the "Smokers" club on Tuesday night and in every one of them found evi dences that they are whiskey clubs. The Augusta Herald says that Mr. E. J. Watscn, commJ.-sioner?of immi gration of South Carolina, has accept ed the secretaryship of the Augusta board of trade at a salary of" 83,000. His salary as commissioner is 81,900. T. %B. Thacliston, who has been with tbe land and immigration de partment of the Southern railway for a number of years, ha? accepted the management of the bottliDg and shipping department of the Glenn Springs company. If the Senate passes the bill for abolishscg the State dispensary and creating county dispensaries we hope Governor Heyward will veto it. It is bard to conceive of a more unsatisfac tory way of handling liquor than that proposed by the b?C Mrs. AliC3 Sewell, of Swainsboro, Ga., after seeing her dead husband Securely laid away, was married the ? same day to an old sweetheart and left on a bridal trip in the evening. Sho said she needed some one to com fort her and so lost no time in filling the dead husband's place. The bill now before the Legislature r quiring patent medicine manufac turers to put the formula of their preparations on the label of the bottle or package containing it would do them a great Injustice. If any patent medicine contains poison In sufflslent quantities to be harmful it should be excluded from the State entirely, but there should be no legislation hostile to the manufacturers of medicines that contain no harmful drugs. It is reported that Northern Japan is in the grip of a famine, and that urgent appeals for aid have bean sent to this country. The famine is caused by the failure of the crops. This, is an excellent opportunity for Christians of this country to do some excellent missionary work among these distress ed people. A large sum could be raised if a collection was taken up In every Christian Chnrch in this land of plen ty on a given Sunday for the benefit of the starying peorle of Japan. Such a practical exhibition of our Christian sympathy would do more to Christian ize Japan than hundreds of sermons. The State says "when bis grateful fellow countrymen bailed him as true Samurai relrcirnation of the scul of Bushido, General NogI simply re plied that he did not deserve such high pr;;is?; that if he bad not com mitted a blunder at Mukden, Kuro patkln's army would have been anni la'ed. He should he said, have press ed on to the rear of the enemy's right wing, hut he failed to do so >nd tbe Russian army escaped," and then ask ed "wasthere ever before suob moics'y in military man." If the State wou^ rerd up on Lee and Jackson it would find it unnecessary to ask such ques tlons._ China has begun the persecution cf Am-ricaa cit'zms agaiu. Prof CD Tenncy, the foreign director of edu cation in the Chili Province has be?'. d:<ch?.rged by the Viceroy. Thsrc wa^ greal opposition to Prof. Tennoy be cause he was an AmTi'-a". Severn other Ammelns have b-^n discharge from of; ml at lit government p. sst!ans, and the residence of the R>v. Dr. Andrew Baattie, an Amer can Presby t^r'an m^Siosary, at Fail, was looted on Saturi?y.. by an aimed band cf C-iresa, and later, when the guard boat was rtquastedjto send assistance, the commander replied that he was not empowered to comply with the lequestfa - , County Dispensaries. The House of Representatives has passed a bill abolishing the State dis pensary and establishing County dis pensaries. From a prohibition stand point this looks like a case of Jumping ont of the frying pan, into the Are, yet strange to relate the prohibition ists in the house all voted for the new bill. lb has been claimed that the chief objection to the present system of purchasing is that it offers great opportunities for graft and corrupt ion. How the abolishing of one pur chasing board and the creation of pos sibly forty can remedy this defect in the law is not clear to us. If cor ruption exists it can be corrected far easier in one board than in forty. "As the Columbia Record puts in that seems to be a plain business, common sense proposition that ought to appeal to the consideration and judgement of every man who honestly and sincere ly desires to remedy present defects or who wants the sale and consump tion of liquor restricted not only Jn theory but in fact. We cannot un derstand how those who hold that it is sinful, disgraceful and degrading for the state to engage in the liqoor business ean reconcile themselves to the idea of county operated dispensa ries, which plan simply transfers the business frcm the central state gov ernment to subordinate county gov ernments. It Is all the same in prin ciple, yet we find many legislators taking this curie us and anoma lous position. We cannot explain it, and we believe if they wiU calmly look at the position they now are in they cannot justify or reconcile it ttmm selves. "We are opposed to county dispensaries for the reason that they would multiply the chance for cor rupticn in the system forty fold. If we are to have dispensaries at all there ought to be some general system about them, scmeeentral supervision over allof tbem, otherwise we wlllhave far more trouble than we have had. We do not believe the senate will adopt this measure after considering all the serious otjectiens to the county sys tem. Literature And Marriage. A San Francisco husband who re cently sued his wife for a divorce on the ground that she devoted her time to smoking c'.garetts and reading "trashy literature," has advanced the first illustration in supp )rt of the the ory that marriage should be a ques tion of civil service examination. That of course, does not apply to cigarette, smoaking. A husband who would cavil over nicotine does not love his wife, nor would a wife who loved her husband smoke if the nabit was dis tasteful to her spouse. Smoking is in the first place a volitional habit. But reading is a question of temperament. If there Is such a thing as "thrashy literature," the phrase seems anoma lous; the desire to read is innate and can be regulated neither by law or love. No mttter how much a wife loves and honors her husband she can not erj^y Shakespare if her tastes run to the Laura Jean Libby-'Bertha M. Clay school of fiction. If the man disapproves when she reads Bernard Shaw, she cannot devote her self to the amazing earnestness of Thomas Dlxon, for Instar C3, nor find comfort in the mild Henry Wadsworth Long fellow. A home with suoh a conjugal library would be about as harmonious as a picture painted by the collabor ated efforts of Michael Angela and the creator of the Katzenj immer Kids. Hereafter when folks are about to marry they should prepare a list of the b33t fifty books to their way of thinking, and if the two compilations do not gibe?give back the wedding presents. g Women Too Loniont. "We want the women of this coun try to set a higher standard of res pectablillty for men," declared Judge William M. M:E ven in an address before the Chicago Woman's club the other day. "At present the women are too lenient toward and too forgiv ing cf bad conduct." Judge McEwen was discussing the possibilities of re ducing crime in the United States, and hi3 tuggestlon that the men be held to a stricter cod? of morals was greeted with applause by the club wo men. "The crime we have most to fear," said the speaker, "come from morbid conditions in men and boys who have been depraved by drink, vice and drugs. We must try to check them by working among the younger generation. Every father should make a companion and a conti.laic of his boy in order that tho information about tho functions and duties of life which he a< q lirvd shall nor come from polluted sou. c s." T. ere is good hard ?ens5 in all that Ju go McEwen says. If the wora<m would ex*ct a higher Btanrlard cf living on the part ot the msn it would not b; long b;:f.)re ther would b^ a great change, for the Let er.
