Archer on -last Satur day, and we look for a demon stration in that county to repud iate such conduct. The cotton growers association had a rally last Saturday, and to this meet ing Mr. H. S. Lipscomb, secre tary of the association, sent Hon. John L. McLaurin an invitation to be present, just as he did to Presidents Jordan and Smith. Mr. Archer, however, who is known to have a personal dis like for McLaurin, was deter mined to prevent McLaurin's speaking, and in doing so on the plea of keeping the association out of politics, injected the meanest kind of politics into the meeting by adjourning the meet ing without giving the secretary an opportunity to make an an nouncment or explanation. We believe such tactics as Mr. Ar cher displayed will act as a boomerang, and that the decent people of Spartanburg will stand for no such treatment. Mr. Archer not only attempted to bridle McLaurin but he tried to work a similar game on Messrs. Hyatt and Weston, but these two were more fortunate than McLaurin, because they got their speeches in before the din npr was announced. The account of this meeting was written for The State by Mr. Jas. A. Hoyt, Jr., who is not a supporter of Mr. McLau rin in politics, but at the same time he does not endorse the miserable exhibition of dirty politics exhibited by Mr. Archer. We reproduce Mr. Hoyt's com ments: Spartanburg. Aug. 5.-The meeting at the opera ho-use here today, which was attended by 600 or 700 people, un der the auspices of the Southern Cot ton association developed a situation that was extremely unfortunate, as it was made by the president of the coun ty organization to prevent former Sen ator McLaurin from speaking and the effort was partially unsuccessful in that the president announced that if Mc Laurmn spoke it would not be with his consent or by his invitation. The president of the county associa tion is the Rev. E. L. Archer, formerly a Methodist preacher and formerly a Tillmanite leader in this county, at one time holding the office of State Sena tor. It seems that Mr. Archer is very bitter against McLaurin and his preju dice led him today to inject polities into a meeting where otherwise there would have been no mention of politics. Senator McLaurin had come here with no intention of mentioning politics, but of talking cotton, as he did at Manning last week and he had come on the in vitatior. of the secretary of the county association, which he had every reason to consider authoritative. He found on his arrival that the president, Mr. Ar cher, and the secretary, Mr. H. S. Lipscomb, were at cross purposes in this matter. It appears that neither the secretary nor the president is pos sessed of the soundest judgment and between them they worked up a very ugly complication that may hurt the Southern Cotton association in this county as much as it will hurt Mr. Mc Laurin or help any one who is opposed to his political views, among the latter class being The State's correspondent. M~r. McLaurin, having come here on what he had every reason to believe was an official invitation, was placed in a very peculiar position: he had either to speak over the protest of the county president or put himself in the position of running away. He took a dignified stand and got as much out of the little scrap as any one else. His speech amounted to little, for the reason that he: was not called on until three others had spoken and the time was unpropi tious for an address of any length, when folks were thinking about dinner, but what he said was well worth hearing, for whatever one may say or- think about Mr. McLaurin he has a fine un derstanding of this cotton question and discusses it in a statesmanlike manner. Mr. McLaurin was not the only one who was reflected upon by Mr. Archer, however, Mr. Archer intimated that Mr. Hyatt and Mr. Weston, each of whom holds a higher office in the Southern Cotton association than does Mr~. Archer was not invited to this meeting and that they both spoke merely by sufferance. These two men have spoken all over the State in the interests of the Southern Cotton asso ciation and neither of them was for a moment daunted by this intimation. Mr. Hyatt, being called on first made it plain that he did not intend to be read out of the meeting and that fur ther he did not intend to be dictated to as to his future career merely because he was at this particular time interest ed'in an official capacity with this or ganization. There are varying views as to the effect of the squabble and Mr. Archer's friends contend that he was only pre serv-ing his consistency in taking the position he did and endeavoring to _keep politics out of the movement. Others. however, take the ground that by his extreme interpretation of that idea he did more to bring the. matter of politics to the front today than would have been done by a political speech from Mr. Mc Laurin or a declaration from Mr. Hy att that he is a candidate for Governor --a declaration that he is not at all likely to make. Mr. Archer stated that the Spartan burg Cotton association had invited Mr. Hlarvie Jordan and Mr-. E. D. Smith here to speak today.- Mr. Jordan had been delayed by a late train and would come this nfternoon. Mr. Smith was present, as was Mr. F. H. Hyat, the treasurer, and Mr. Weston. the secre tary..who would speak. Mr. Archer did not say that Messes. Hyatt and Weston would speak and he did nqt mention Mr-. McLaurin. He said that at the conclusion of Mr-. Smith's address the cotton association would adjourn until afternoon, when Mr -Toan would seak. DISPENSARY STALK WITHERS BECAUSE THE ROOT IS ROTTEN. A few months ago the aspir ants for gubernatorial honors were heard from frequently, but since the great leader has sway ed his scepter and spoke in puz zling sentences, a kind of where am-I-at silence has settled over the political brood of guberna torial chickens. It begins to look like the other fellow must break this painful silence. Each and every man so far announceed as a candidate for the office of governor, except A. C. Jones, of Newberry, has started out with a dispensary feather in his cap, but when some counties took advantage of the Brice Act and voted to abolish the dispen sary, and this too, followed by Senator Tillman's letter, the last one of them have taken out their feathers, and are waiting for more devolpments. Senator Tillman has been the leader of political sentiment for a number of years, but it now begins to look as if he scents trouble, and is himself stepping lightly on the question; it may be that this is why Ansel, Manning, Smith, Sloan and the rest are quiet on the great issue. Senator Till man evidently realizes that the people are very much digusted with the way things have been managed, and that unless some thing is done to inspire confi dence the dispensary will re ceive within the next twelve months a fatal blow. In our opinion, over half of the coun ties that have always been re garded Tillman counties will not wait for the legislature to con vene to make some make-shift amendment to delay the coming of the reckoning day, but they will go straight ahead and vote, trusting that the supreme court will not declare the Brice Act unconstitutional. The people who are voting the dispensary out. are determined to get rid of it, and the more obstacles the politicians throw in their way the more determined do they be come to tear it up root and branch. This feeling is spread ing. and many a former ardent dispensaryite will now vote to abolish the dispensary because it is corrupt: its corrupting in fluence has permeated our entire body politic. It is a common thing to hear men say they will vote out the dispensary, and will frankly admit they have no confidence in a prohibition law being enforced, but they argue, the State is paying men to ex ecute and enforce the law, and these officers are daily violat ing that law, and if the law is to be disregarded it would not be as bad for the disregard to come from individ uals. If dispensers can accept bottles of liquor as presents, and sell them over dispensary coun ters, they are not only cheating the State, but they are convert ing their offices into blind tigers. We do not know any dispeniser who has sold liquor other than that which was furnished him by the State, but in a recent case in the United States court the testimony developed the fact that certain concerns made a practice of putting extra bottles in the boxes, and these were presents to the dispenser. The dispensary law requires a tem perance man to be dispenser, so if these concerns are giving them liquor and they drink it, the law is violated. The same applies to dispensers giving liquor away-the law forbids it. Now. if the whiskey concerns ship extra bottles of whiskey to the dispensers, and the dispen ser drinks the stuff, he violates the law; if he gives it away, the law is also violated, and if he sells the whiskey he is more culpable than the individual who defies the law, because he con verts the dispensary into a blind tiger. When such a con dition is shown in a court of law~ it arouses an Indignation in the breast of good citizens whether they favor prohibition or dispen sary, and the natural impulse is to destroy the cause which pro duces such evil effects. GRASI'ING AT STRAWS. - Senator Tillman's speech at Edgeield last Saturday is in effect a reiteration of his Hig gins letter. He is pleading for delay until the legislature can meet. and then he hopes that body will accept his views with regard to putting the control of the dispensary back into the~ hands of the Governor. It is very evident the Senator does not rel ish the idea of having to defend t" institution in next summer's' campaign. Senator Tillman real izes that many of his former friends will not stand for the present management of the dis pensary, that they are heartily disgusted with the constant scandalous r:umors that come from it is certain and sure, and he must do something to rein spire confidence in it, or suffer annihilation with it. In his Edgefield speech, the Senator attempted to draw factional lines by charging that the Conserva tives are responsible for the bad condition of the dispensary to day. He expresses the opinion "that there has been a deep laid scheme to destroy the system by mismanagement." He also says "there is every indication to show that the pre sent onslaught on the dispen sary is being engineered and led by those who have been, are now and will ever be my most bitter political opponernts. The more venomous of these men have not hesitated recently to say in the press and in other places that they regard the dispensary as the main props of Tillman's can pull that down he will fall with it." These utterances, and his ex pressed desire to keep the dis pensary discussion out of next summer's campaign is an indica tion of weakness. The aggres siveness which is characteristic of the man is lacking, and his attempt to organize factionalism will fail, as the people do not propose to let the liquor ques tion, or for that matter, any other question lead them into divisions for the maintenance of any man's political for tunes. The bitterness of 1 s0O can never come back, and the man who tries to blow up these dead embers will find himself in a losing minority. A careful reading of Senator Tillman's speech will disclose the fact that he is up against a fierce proposition. If he defends the dispensary he will be damned by the Prohibitionists, and if he goes back on it the dispensary ites will damn him: which ever side he turns he will provoke opposition. POOH! POOH! There is much being said in the newspapers about what the dispensary investigating com mittee is going to do, but in our opinion they will do nothing which will amount to anything of value. In the first place the committee has no power to do anything except to make excur sions over the State and pry into things which can only amount to what is being done by local grand juries. The committee will find that a certain dispenser has not been complying with the ,law regarding request books,and such things like that, but where the grafting has been done they will not find, if they go at it everywhere as they did in Char leston recently. The committee spent several days in the city, did not summons a man before it. but gave out a statement that they would be glad to receive information. It does strike .us that such proceedings are noth ing less than a farce. The idea oT a committee searching for corruption, going to Charleston, putting up at an expensive hotel at the expense of the State, wait ing for Charleston to volunteer to become informers, it is absurd. If this committee was in earnest to get at the facts, and it be-. lieves there are people in Char leston who know them, why did they not issue a regular sum mons as they have a right to do, and force the attendance of these witnesses, and get their testimony under oath, but no, they let it be known, "that we are at the Charleston Hotel, and if anybody will give us informa tion cf -an incriminating nature we will give them an audience." It is this kind of a service the people are paying for, and it is this kind of a service we predicted the people would have, as soon swe saw that the legislature cre ted the commission and did not ndow it with the proper author ty to unearth corruption if any exists; we believe when their eport is filed it will amount to othing. Thei is more Catarrh in this sectuon of the ountry than all other diseases put together. and until the last few years was supposed to be nurable. For a great many years doctors pro ounced it a local disease. and prescribed local emedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment. pronounced it incurable.

Archer had method in his mad iess in refusing to allow Mc Laurin to speak. The ex-Sen ator was requested to give his views on the dispensary at Dil lon and he did so very strongly. Perhaps Archer was afraid of a similar occurence at Spartan burg, and used his position to prevent McLaurin from lifting the lid off the cauldron of cor uption which has since been exposed by a power that Archer and his political henchmen had no power to control.

Business men of sound judg. ment long ago came to the con- h elusion that it does not pay to I employ men who indulge in in toxicating drinks even moderate ly. Many who lausch:d at the idea at first now see the wisdom of such discrimination, so that S there is a constantly growing de- f( mand everywhere, not for the ti man who can drink or let it 0 alone, but for the man who s( a leaves it alone. It is interesting g to note that employers have dis- A covered that there is another d class of men whom they cannot afford to have connected with their business. It is the gambler who, though he might be honest h1 in the sense that he would not g steal outright, is nevertheless unreliable, and therefore an un profitable servant. Boys who gamble for pennies on the street do not seem to realize that even now some employer may be tak ing their measure: and if they are not up to the mark the bad impressions formed now are likely to last, and might possibly destroy the chances of a respon sible position for the future. Be sides, they are forming a pernic ious habit which if persisted in is bound to wreck even the brightest prospects, and dwarf the most promising life into a miserable, miserly failure-Wal ter Vonderleith. LEMONADE OR WINE. A young man in company with several other gentlemen, called upon a young lady. Her father was present to assist in enter taining the guests, and offered wine, but the young lady asked, "Did you call upon me, or upon papa'?" Gallantry, if nothing else, compelled them to answer, -We called on you." "Then you will please not drink wine. I have lemonade for my visitors. The father urged his guests to drink, and they were undeci ded., The young lady added, C "Remember, if you called on me, then you think lemonade; but if on papa, why, I have nothing to .4 say." Phe wine-glasses were set own with their contents un asted. After leaving the house ne of the party exclaimed, "That was the most effectual emperance lecture Ilever heard." The young man from whom oa hese facts were obtained broke - ff at once from the use of strongq rink, and holds a grateful re embrance of the lady who: racefully and resolutely gave im to. understand that her: uests should not drink wine.-: Youth's Guardian Friend.

The northern portion of the Colorado desert is paved with the most wonder ful pebbles in the world, in many parts so exquisitely laid as to defy, success ful imitation by the most skilled worker in mosaic gooring. These pebbles.are made of porphyry, agates, carnelian, quartz, crystals, garnets, chrysolite and other such beautiful materials. They are packed together so -that -the surface composed of them Is like a floor, and they look as if pressed into it with a roller. As a rule, they are of nearly uniform size, and each one is polished brilliantly, as if oiled and rub bed. Most of them are perfect spheres, and the reflection from them of the sun's rays is gorgeous beyond descrip tion. Each convex surface gives back a ray of light, and the ground for miles seems as if literally paved with gems. Thus the whole surface of the plain is a combination of myriads of reflectors, each pebble being so highly polished that it is like a mirror. ad it is believed that the lakes of the desert mirage are produced by this means. The pebbles are polished by the loose sand which Is blown hither and thither. Agonizing Burns. Are instantly relieved, and perfect ly healed, by Bucklen's Arnica Salve. C.
