We notice there is a movement on foot to amend the dispensary law, so as to allow communities dissatisfied with dispensaries to vote them out of existence. In our opinon there is no necessity to amend the law, as there is a provision to cover that very thing. Ever since the enactment of the dispensary law, efforts have been made to amend it to remove opposition, but the pur pose has not as yet been accoml plished. nor will it be as long as the State board of control is allowed the power it has, and as long as those entrusted with the enforcment of the law are its most flagrant * violators, and further, as long as the political machine is run with dispensary power. and communities are forced - to accept dispensaries whether they want them or not, opposition and irritation- will continue, dissatisfaction and un rest will result, and oppression and corruption follows. As a matter of expediency we favor the dispensary plan of handling liquor, that the sale and con sumption of liquor is an evil is beyond dispute, but if we be lieved it could be stopped even in a measure, we would favor prohibition; experiments al been made in seve- ttes and convinced it is an impossibility to stop the sale or consumption of liquor by leg islation. There is only one way, and one place-the hearthstone, and the instilling into the minds and hearts of the young the dan ger of intemperance. We believe liquor should be controlled, and in our judgment the best way to control it, is to localize that control. As a mat ter of principle we are opposed to forcing upon a people a dis pensary if they do not want it, and where a majority say by their votes they have worked up a sentiment sufficiently strong to enforce prohibition we believe - .in giving those people what they want. All law to be enforced must have the endorsment of the peo ple, and where a law -is enacted directly in opposition to public sentiment it is a dead letter and a mockery- Look at Charleston, the dispensary law is not want ed there now, and never has been, and the consequence is that the law is laughed at, juries are drawn with Chicco in the panel, and if Chicco's name does not appear, some other blind tiger's name appears. Scan the jury lists of Charleston when you will, and the names of noto rious blind tigers are there, with what result? "No Bill." If how ever, the people of Charleston had a liquor regulation of their approval there would be no such defiance of law. An effort was once made to get the liquor question submitted to the voters, so that each coun tv could indicate by a direct vote of the people how they wanted the liquor traffic controlled in their respective communities, immedianliy upon the presenta tion of the bill, every man who was prominently identified with the dispensary or the adminis tration in power, put on his fighting clothes and brought about its defeat- Men who were not holding positions in the dis pensary became lobbyists to pre serve the institution from being emasculated, contending that it was a step towards destroying the dispensary, and hence the Reform movement, but the truth was, the bill, had it become a law, would have taken the dispensary out of the hands of a few politi tions in Columbia, and lessened the possibility of corruption, by bringing it home to the people themselves for control. We predicted then, and have not lost hope, there would come a time when each county in South Carolina will have an op portunity to have a voice in this iatter, it is right they should. If Clarendon county thinks she can keep the sale of whiskey out, and she is prepared for Pro hibition, it shouid be the duty of her representatives to see to it that she is given that right. We would like to see a fair square vo,te throughout the State on the questini Prohibition; Dispensa ry, License, and then let each county have the regulation it selects. If this is ever done we honestly believe it will advance the cause of temperance, by a strict enforement of the law. Why? Because when the people by a majority vote, bring upon themselves a regulation of their own choice, every man will feel it is his duty to aid i its en forcnent, and thus a sentiment is built for the enforcment of such a regulation that nothing an break through.

They are now prognosticating for the future. The Democratic calcu lators are dead sure we will have a Democratic triumph, and point to the sweeping victory of Tam many in Greater New York. They also are greatly encour aged by the results in Maryland, where the race issue was boldly made, and many think if the satme issue is made all over the Union it will have a similar re sult. Maryland is closely bor dering the south, and much of her population in the cities is made up of Southerners aside from those who were in the con federacy during the war, hence the race issue in that State is not a safe criterion. Had the issue been made in New York, with the result that was achiev ed, then it might have been tk en to mean the Democycy has found something to take to the country with hope of success. The victory in New York has ve'ry little national significance, that city is naturally Democratic and whenever it goes Republi can, it is when the independent voters tire of the administration and want a change, and the very voters that helped to run up such a handsome majority for Tammany, in all probability will vote the Republican National t ticket. Now had Ohio gone Democratic it would have made the Republicans quake in their shoes, but notwithstanding Tom Johnson's spectacular campaign the Republicans proved them selves stronger than ever before. Congress is now in session, and the Democrats hope some thing will turn up to give them campaign material, but in our opinion, they lack leadership. Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer. A Remarkable Case. One of the most remarkable cases of a cold, deep-seated on the lungs, caus ing pneumonia~is that of Mrs. Gertrude E. Fenner, Marion, Ind., who was en tirely cured by the use of One Minute Cough Cure. She says: "The coughing and straining so weakened me that I ran down in weight from I48 to 92 pounds. I tried a number of remedies to no avail until I used One Minute Cough Cure. Four bottles of this won derful remedy cured me entirely of the cough, strengthened my lungs and re stored me to my normal weight, health and strength." Sold by The R. B3. Lor yea Drug Store. Turbeville Dots. Editor The Manning Times: The music pupils and Miss Harmon are rejoicing over the arrival of the piano. Miss Laura Morris, a boarding stu dent in the school at this place, was called home on account of the death of her brother's wife. She has the sym pathy of the entire school, and com munity in her sorrow. We hope to soon have her back with us. Mr. Conyers has been in Turbeville for several days in the interest of the Woodmen: he has already secured 25 members which will justify him in or ganizing a lodge at an early date. it is also probable that a K. of P. lodge will be organized soon. These organi zations will add greatly to the social interest of our villiage. Messrs. Alonzo and Jehu Smith are in their new store building, they hope to be ready for business by the middle of December. The new firm will be known as Smith Bros. The Lamar literary society held its first meeting Friday afternoon. The exercises were very good, especially the debate. It is hoped this society will cultivate a taste for good literature among the school children, also train some good reciters, declamers and de bators. At present they seem to take a great interest in the debates. Our pastor, Rev. G. R. Whitaker is very busy closing up his work on this charge. He has been with us four years, so he will not be returned. His work on this charge has been on a~ very high order both in the pulpit and in his pastoral work. His many friends on the entire charge are sorry that the time has come for him to leave them. Miss Azalene Sullivan has been elect ed as third assistant in the Graded school at this place. She. comes highly recommended and will do efficient work in the school. Misses Harmon and Nabors have or ganized a Band of Hope for the little folks which meets every Friday after noon. This is a good work, so the parents should encourage their chil dren to join and see that they attend regularly. An impression made on a chil's mind will have a great deal to do with the development of its life and character; more attention should be given to the little ones. A. T. HELMS.

U. following Resolutions passed by the Farmers Protective and Marketing Union of Clareudon cotnty: Whereas, There is great complaint in all sections of the county of a scarcity of farm labor aud as most of the fatr.i ers are - seriously embarrassed in con ducting their business by their inabil ity to secure sufficient labor. Ant'a as we think the cause is in the lien mer chant, who expects to reap a big profit in the fall, furnishes supplies to inon petent people, also to others that are. not in fit condition to farm, thereby denriving the farmers of numbers of _ord laborers that would be in better Condition if they would wori w;1h the muen that are competent and in comnii tion to farm: and we also honestly b ieve that all individuals and the bui ness world at large would be in bet ter condition if the lien law was re pled, as it has outlived its usefulness and at the present time is little less than a curse to the agricultural inter ests of our State, as it fosters and en courages rthe useless expansion of the cotton acreage to the neglect of focd crops and diversified farming. It per pptuates shiftless methods of farm-ng and does great injury to the energetic and substantial farmers of our State who are deprived of their legitimate labor. It is also a great injustice to honest men, as they necessarily have to pay more for what they have to pur chase, from the fact that goods are be ing sold to their neighbors at lien prices and the merchant could not af ford to have his prices too far apart-it has been taken advantage of by specu lative merchants and far '.ers for the purpose of getting more ti-te. and as we think it has outlived its usefulness and become an injury to the farming and business interests of our S-ate it should be repealed. Therefore be it resolved by the Far mers' Protective Union of Chlrendon County: 1. That we condemn the lieu law and consider it one of the most serious ob structions to the best interests of our country and request our representa tives in the Legislature to use e cry effort possible to have it, repealed. 2. That we request alI people in the State especially farmers to crganize and have the lien law and auv other law that is injuricus the agricultural interest repealed. 3. Recognizing that we can do noth ing without the co-operation and aid of the press of our State we respectfully request that they give us there aid in this, by publishing these resolutions and encouraging the farmers to organ ize, and work for the best interest of our State. - ~ 2.R.

Hanly, 108 Years of Age, Is as Strong and Vigorous as Men Thirty Years Younger, and Says That for a Long Time His Only fledicine Has Been DUFFY'S PURE FnALT 4& VWHISKEY. A familiar figure of the Rockies, the " oldest living landmark," is G. W. Hanly of Big ts\. Timber, Mont. One of the original '49ers," Mr. Hanly in later years built up a large veterinary medicine business. Though now in his 109th year, he is hale and hearty and able to walk about as spryly as many men half his age. He states that he owes it all to Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. In a recent leater he says: It has been my intention for some time to a write and compliment you on the effects Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has had on my health. Last Ncvember I was 108 years old, GEO.W. HANLY, 108 Years Old. and there are certainly not many men in the world who are as well preserved at so great an age. For a long time your whiskey has been the only thing I have used as a stimulant or a medicine. My appetite is very fair, hearing and eyesight as good as with men who are thirty years younger, and nothing keeps me in better humor than my regular doses of 'Duffy's.' When a cold or my bowels bother me, a little of your medicine is all that's needed, and you may always count me among your grateful friends. GEO. W. HANLY."
