The past few issues of THE TIMES, contended that the liquor 1 question is an issue in the pri-, mary election; our contention was based upon the action of 1 several religious bodies, edito rials in a number of newspapers, t articles written by prominent Pro hibitionists, and speeches deliv-i< ered by candidates for the legis lature at county campaign meet- 1 ings in different parts of the State. In counties where the cause of prohibition is popular, the candidates are open and t straightforward in proclaiming Prohibition and. they are mak ing an earnest tight to elect ( Prohibitionists to the legisla ture: there is no attempt to compromise, or any claim that the liquor question is settled, on the contrary, they insist that it is not settled, and contend that t prohibition is a vital religious t principle, which will never be t settled.as long as the dispensary E system is a part of the policy of this State. At the county campaign meet ing at Forest Hill in York coun ty on the 10th inst., Senator 1 Brice the author of "Brice Bill," made an onslaught upon the1 dispensary system, and did not I fail to show very plainly that his object for introducing the t "Brice Bill" was to kill the s dispensary, and upon this issue it is said he will be a candidate t for governor two years hence. We reproduce a brief synopsisI t of his speech on the occasion re-' ferred to: Following is a part of what he said i relative to the dispensary question: "This idea," he said, in discussing what is known as the "Brice Bill" "is not a new one. Others have introduced similar bills. They claimed to be friends of the dispensary law, and claimed that the propositon was not -un friendly. The real advocates of the dispensary law held that advocacy; of such bills was a poor way of showing I friendshin for the dispensary and promptly'squelched the bills along with their authors. "I confess that I was once a believer in the dispensary law as the best solu tion of the liquor question; but after . careful study of the law and existing ~ conditions under it during the past ten t years I have come to the conclusion e that it is the most damnable scheme 1 that has ever been foisted on a free people. "It is Republican centralization pure I and simple, and its etfect is to take the t government of the people out of their own hands and put it in the hands of the people who run the dispensary ma chine. "The idea of the dispensary came ] from Russia and it has a Russian effect upon our liberties. The object of my bill was not to help the dispensary, but ~ to kill it, and I hope to see the day ] when that bill will become the law in a South Carolina. "As to what will come after the dis pensary 1 can't say, but it can be no worse. The dispensary debauches the whole State, increases crime and makes the State act like a drunkard generally. For individual -sins God holds us accountable hereafter, but ~ for the sins of the State He punishes us C here, and we:'can have no more real a prosperity until we throw off this terrn ble abomination." Any candidate who thus speaks boldly to sustain the principle he represents wins ad miration for himself, even from those who disagree with him-. The people like a frank and honest declaration, they know . then what a candidate stands ~ for, especially when an impor- s tant question is to be considered. ~ Senator Brice tells his constit- ~ uents frankly that it is his pur- t pose to destroy the dispensary system, and by his frank and uncertain avowal, the Prohibi tionists have a man to vote for ~ whom they know will represent a their views, and the Dispensa rites are also put on notice. York county is one of the few Prohibition connties in the. State, and its Senator will be * returned without opposition, but ~ in counties where the Prohibi tionists are not so strong, candi dates walk with muffled tread and avoid the discussion of the liquor question, or when con fronted with it, claim -'the li- d quor question is settled," ande instead, they make "issues" of questions which .are not before the people, and which are not ~ matters of contention, or upon a which there are no differenees ~ of opinion. The entire voting ~ population favor the mamnte nance of free public schools, pen- x sions, good roads and lower 1# taxes, and no candidate is op. E posed to it. But say some, the c immigration question is an is-e sue, and many of our voters are opposed to bringing in a foreign a element. In our opinion this is E tommy rot, because the estab- 2 Tishment of an immigration fo bur-eau is already a part of the State government, as much so as is the dispensary. The last ses sion of the General Assembly made it so, and to cry out against it. now, is like locking s the stable -after the horse is . gone. True, the people can g elect a majority who can abolish f0 the immigration bureau, just like ~ they can elect a majority who ti will abolish the dispensary, but p: observation teaches us that the h people never abolish a policy a adopted bhe St Rate, until the >olicy has had a trial to snos vhether or not it is beneficial Ye therefore think it a useles ,ask to attempt to abolish th mmigration department of th state so soon after its establish nent. it is a waste of time an o make it an issue in our pr nary only gives crafty politi -ians a hobby to throw sand i Jhe eyes of the people. and tak heir minds away from matter hey have tried, and wish mair ained. In all candor we say to ou eaders, regardless what candi lates for office might say to th ontrary, the issue is "Liquo ,ontrol," and it is up to th oters to decide whether or no hey want the present dispensar; ;ystem to stand. Biennial ses ;ions was fixed by the last legis ature, and it has no place in ou )rimary, and candidates harpin, mn that question know full well th )eople will vote upon this ques ion in the general election, an< iot the primary: it is therefor, io use to obscure the mind fror he vital issue. If the people favor prohibitioi hey should have candidate >old enough to stand flatfoote< >n the principle, and be out poken against the dispensar: ike the fearless Senator Brice nd those who favor the dispen ary should not vote for an; nan who is trying to get int he legislature in his sock feet hey should not be satisfied wit y assertion that "the liquo: luestion is settled." Becausi t is not settled, as every obser 7at man must see, when candi lates like Senator Brice openl, nd boldly boast, the object i 'not to help the dispensary, bu o kill it." After such a declara ion from such a source, to sa: he liquor question is settled, i reflection on our intelligence ool who? Surely not the voter ho know, if prohibition is -eiigious principle no candidat vho advocated prohibition ca >e true to his religion who i illing to desert his cause t ratify a political ambition. I candidate deserts a religiou >rinciple to get votes, what ca he voters expect should lie b uccessful. It is our business as a publicis o present our thoughts to th >eople, and it is their busines o either accept or reject them o man should claim the suf rages of an honest people those religious principles ar nade of india rubber, and an; nan who, after becoming a can idate, places a higher fealty oi otes. than he does to a religiou: rinciple. either does not appre iate the value of a religiou: rinciple, or his professions o eligious principle, are empt; -aporings.

Mr. McFaddin comes rom one of Clarendon's bes1 amilies, and if he is sent to the egislature he will reflect credi1 pon his adopted county, and onor to his native county. This 'oung man possesses a high or er of integrity, is a hard stu. ent, and has a determination tc ucceed in his profession. WE incerely hope the people o1 nichland will confer honor upor his worthy young gentleman. The Japanese have demon trated to the world that they re a nation of fighters, and i1 till not be wise to tread upor eir toes.

It is a catechism that will force them to show their hand and put the - people in a position to vote with - their eyes open. These questions j I will aid voters in reaching a conclu- : sion, that is,if they want to vote like!< free white men should: 1. Do you favor, or are you Op 1 posed to the present dispensary sys e tem? 2. If elected, will you make at i hon est effort to abolish the dispensary? 3. If elected, will you make an hon est effort to sustain the dispensary? r 4. Are you a Prohibitionist from religious conviction or principle? 5. Is a ballot of the people on a e question,higher than a religious prini r ciple? e 6. Did you or did you not scratch the name of B. R. Tillman the last time he was a candidate for the United States Senate. 7. Did you attend the immigra tion convention called by Senator C. M. Davis, and did you at that time express any opposition to the immi Ygration movement? S 8. Did you ever declare yourself a Prohibitionist from religious convic tion after the people voted for the dispensary several times? 3 9. Do you think the people should 1 vote for any man who has proclaimed himself a Prohibitionist from reli I gious principle, afterwards becoming a candidate for office, and then tells the people the liquor question is set tIed and he accepts the verdict? 10. Is it not a fact that in several counties the liquor issue is para mount? 11. Why is it if the liquor question - Is settled, that the religious papers, leading Prohibitionists, the News ) and Conrier and many of the county papers are advocating the election of Prohibitionists to the Legislature, 1 and many of them openly advocate t r wiping the dispensary law from the I n statute books? 1 12. Did you publicly declare before you became a candidate that you - accepted the dispensary as a settled 1 question? t DaWittis the Name.

The pure, unadulterated Witch Hazel Salve, which is the best salve in the world for cuts, burns 3 bruises, boils. eczema and piles.
