ENTIRELY TOO DRASTIC.
We should like to know what
section of the law makes it the
duty of the state dispensary au
ditor to act as detective. It is
evident Mr. W. B. West is put
ting in extra time doing work
for which he gets no pay, unless
it be the pay of an ordinary pro
cess server, and if so. it seems
to us he is disqualitied from hol
ding these two oftices. Mr. West
is State Auditor, an oftice created
by the Carey-Cothran Act and
we note where he landed in Char
leston with a batch of orders
for service, and several weeks
ago, he played the role of detec
tive on the Isle of Palms, where
he invited two youngz m.l'en into
the ca ut)room. pLirihasedt soii
beer and tien obtained f rom his
guests affidavits. The Isle of
Palms management was enjoined
by the supreme court; the more
recent papers taken to Charles
ton by State Auditor West, and
Detective West, both officers the
same person, State Auditor West
getting a salary to check up the
accounts of the county dispensa
ries, and Detective West probab
ly getting extra remuneration for
the additional service, were re
straining orders,directed against
the Charleston and Argyle ho
tels, the Occidental Cafe and the
Schuetzenplatz, returnable No
vember 29th before the supreme
court. which court has already
mat .: permanent an injunction
against the management of the
Isle of Palms ever selling,. or al
lowing to be drunk on the prem
ises. any liquors, beers etc.
The management is convicted,
by the highest court 2f the State
without giving the parties
charged -the right of trial by
jury. Then hereafter, it need
not be necessary to have a war
rant issued for parties charged
with a misdemeanor, such as
hunting out of season, tresp ass
ing, carrying a concealed weap
on, and other offenses, just ask
for a temporary restraining or
der,and if the party does noti feel
able to employ counsel, the or
der will be made permanent, or
in other words, the party will be
found guilty,whereas, if he went
before a jury in his vincinage,
as is guaranteed him by the con
stitution, he would be able to~
show his innocense, but after the
restraining order is made per
manent whether he ever com
mitted the offense before or not,
be liable to be imprisoned for
contempt any time the movers
chose to report him and he does
not go the expense of making a
defense. This may be good law,
but if it is the theory that every
man is entitled to meet his ac
cuses face to face, and be tried
"by God and his Country" is a
farce.
The violation of the dispensa
ry law is a misdemeanor, and the
present dispensary law was in
tended by the makers thereof to
give communities local self gov
ernment. If Charleston is satis
fied withi her management of the
liquor control the rest of the
State has no interest mn it, mor
ally or financially, and we
think when the government em
ploys the injunction method to
enforce a law practically of local
consequence, upon the motion of
one not of the community, but
employed for another purpose,
it is carrying the theory of gov
ernment by injunction to the ob
noxious stage.
If Charleston was praying the
court for relief it would be diff
erent possibly, but Charleston
has not asked for this extraor
dinary and drastic means to en
torce a law, nor does Charleston
complain of the conditions in
that city, the whole thing is offi
ciousness on the part of an offi
cial whose job is to look after the
books of county dispensaries,
and for which he is paid his sal
ary out of the counties having
dispensaries only.
The Anderson Mail, whose
editor has just returned from
abroad with Senator Latimer
asked the News and Courier:
"Will the esteemed News arnd Cou
rier kindly take a look at Market
street, in Charleston, anid then tell us
what immigration of a certain kind has
done to maintain white supremacy in
that vicinity-?
To which the News and Cou
rier very justly answers the
Mail's question by telling of the
great service Vincent Chicco1
did for white supremacx-,
when the black odds were ox-er
whelming, and when it needed t
men with iron nerves. It so
happens that we know some
thmng of N mcent Chicco's work- t
for white supremacy, not only 1
his, but the work of every ini
migrant in Charleston at thei
time, among this element there
were no enemies, which cannot
be said of all tile natives, and
eve~ry German. Italian, IrishmIan
or oth:er Foreigner who adopted,
Amer-ica as his home, conltribut-1
ed lar-gely of his mnonoy, and j
risked his life for- his adopted
some of the natives in Anderson?
We reproduce the News and
Courier's moed of praize that
Vincent Chticco. of blind tiger
jame is entitled to:
We answer the Mail's question
franklv. Vincent Chicco t:is exactiy
tie sort of imnigrant needed in Char
leston in the late seventies and earl
eighties. Ie was a big-boned. big
muscled. husky young f1llow. ot
afraid, and willing. cager and able to
helh in doing the rouglh work of the
white tunau' Deioerarv in 'harieston
where the ihting was agaitt
greater odds than in Andlerson. In
those days there was not a nan in
South Carolina to sneer at Chieo the
Chiceos were only too few in Charle+
ton, and "white supr!emav" depend
largelv on men of his ty.
Whatever may be saI . I .
street' in a nollveodile 20 . "
happens that. the r-cor . :D''
Chicco as an upiolier a "Cl~
remaev" isj alttebt 'mmo
men's.' He was one of the hard ighters
in the ranis.
We thank the Mail for mIe opportu
nity of citing so capital an example
Illustrating our contention that we
sti: need ll the white immigrants that
we can get. of whatever uationality.
and that. objectors to their coming
ignorantly oppose the real interests of
the South.
We have on several occasions
called attention to the supporters
of the State dispensary, attempt
to get into the prohibition band
wasgon to take the reins from
those who clung to prohibition
all along. The latest blast
comes from the Southern Chris
tian Advocate whose editor had
"sotnething to do" with the
enactm ent of the dispensary la w.
and who oil the eve of the last
Oeh-tiOnt editorially tried to save
the State dispensary. It is just
such Prohibitionists that should
be content to follow the lead of
those who never faltered, never
compromised, even in deference
to "our noble leader" or bent
"the pregnant knee that thrift
may follow fawning." The out
look points strongly towards
prohibition, but we object to
a leadership by thosewho profess
prohibition, but who sacrificed
the principal when victory was
in sight for no other reason than
partisan factional politics-such
men should not be permitted to
force themselves into leadership,
even by a denominational news
paper. Any man that could
support the State dispensary in
its latter years, needs years of
repeatance before the Prohibi
tionists should even take him on
probation. When the Southern
Christian Advocate published
the editorial favorablo to the
State dispensary, on the eve - of
the election, it took an untfair
advantage of those the paper
represented, and forever dis
qualified its editor from being
potent for the prohibition cause.

The W. C. T. U. Convention at Newberry.
The 24th annual convention of
the W. C. T. U3. of S. C. conven
ed at the Methodist Church in
Newberry Sep. 28- Oct. 1. All
State officers and a large dele
gation were in attendtance.
Saturday evening at 8: o'clock
the convention was called to or
der by the president Mrs. Joseph
Sprott of Manning she intro
duced the speakers Drs. Jones,
Pelham, and Philips who gave
addresses of welcome for the city
the business men and the chur
ches. Dr. Jones in speaking in
behalf of the city brought the
attention of the delegates the
fact that Newberry is as dry as
a chip and that under no circum
stances would she be willing to
try the liquor traffic again. Lit
tia Pammie Bradham in behalf of;
the L. T. L. 's responded appro-'
priately to the addresses of wel
come.
The speaker of the evening
was Mrs. Mary Harris Armor of
Georgia, who for an hour held
her audience spell bound as she
told of the struggle the men and
of Georgia had to secure state
prohibition. Mrs. Armor spoke
rapidly from start to finish, but
with never a superfluous word.
Her recital of "-How Georgia
went dry": was one of the most
thrilling stories imaginable.
She is a woman of great person
ality, intense earnest, enthusiam
and faith in God.
Sunday the regular church
services of Newberry were dis
missed in order that all might
attend the Luthern church of
the Reedeemer where the day
was given over to th-e W. C. T
U. convention . In the morning
Dr. Geo. B. Cromer delivered an
eloquent scholarly address to a
packed house. At both morning
and evening services on Sunday
the church was unable to accom
modate the crowds. Dr. Cromner
reviewed the history of the tem
perance movement and in refer
so the political situation in S. C.
it present he said that now was I
he time to fight, that the enemy
vas on the run and that temper-'
nce workers should see to it
hat the advantage gained should
iot be lost- In speaking of thec
ispensary law in S C. he said'
hat where elections had been
eld in the counties of Laurens
nd Chesterfield, the dispensa
-es had been voted out, but the
lct ions were contested on the
ground of irr-egularities in thec
Jecions. He said that Prohi- 1
>tontst werec req(uired to pro
uie more safe guards foir lec-t
lons of this kind than ever be-1
ore and he thought it was time
:he OOOt was put on1 the~ other
comie when in all fairness the
lcgislature should do one of two
things:either pass a general pro
hibition law for the entire state
or pass a general prohibition law
for tile eitire state with the lo
cal option feature allowing the
counties which wanted dipensa
ries to X-ote them in thuns putting
the burden upon thn.
Dr. Cromer has beel a l9i feo long
worker in tlhe teionipiraneo cause
and is recoguni. ds a prohibition
leader in S. C. His address
through was a free, frank, bold
diseassion of the liquor question.
Miss R*oena Shaner of Missouri
adiressed the children in the af
ternoon. She is a very pleasing
winson speaker and holds the at
tention of her audience through
out her address. Sunday even
ing Mrs Mary Harris Armor a
gain spoke to a'crowded house.
After all she had said Saturday
there was some curiosity as to
whether she' would repeat her
self, but she (lid not. Mrs. Ar
mor is a woman of resources and
her audience felt after her fourth
speech that she still had some
thing she might say without ex
hausting her abilities.
Monday afternoon Mrs. Joseph
Sprott, president. delivered her
annual address which was char
acteristic of this noble woman in
wit common-sense, and appeal to
high ideals. . She gave a short
review of the W. C. T. U. work
of the past in the state and then
a brief outline of the plans forI
the coming year. She said in
part "The time has passed when
prohibition is an experiiment.
There is no 'mne and my wife,
my son John and his wife,
us four and no more'spirit in the
heart of a true white-ribboner,
but lion-hearted we rally to the
cry '?or God and home and every
land'!" "Prohibition don't pro
hibit" is no longer heard unless
from the very ignorant. A whis
key drummer recently said 'who
ever says prohibition does not
prohibit is either a liar or a fool.
I sold more stuff in four days in
Minnesota than I did in four
months in North Dakota." Mrs.
Sprott closed her address with
the beautiful lines "Be strong.
"We are not here to play. to dream, to
drift:
"We have hard work to do and loads to
lift.
"Shun not the struggle, face it-'tis
God's gift!
"Be Strong!"
The convention closed Tuesday
evening with a medal contest
which was one of the most pleas
ing features of the session.
There were nine contestants,
Miss Josephine Dunbar and
Master Jackson Bowers being
the winners. Appropriate reso
lutions were readl thanking the
people of the town for their kind
hospitality. One gentlemen was
heard to remark that the thanks
ought to come from the town for
the good influence of this conven

from every point of view.

pro-mise, God helping me, to ab

ted and malt liquors, including
wine. beer. and cider as a bever

"You don't have to be hand
some, nor smart nor rich, but
