to Anderson with the expectation o
irtaaing g speech to which he should
outline his views on the dispensary
and give his remedies for the canker
now eating out the life of that loetl
tutlon. He bad gone to the unusual
trouble cf writing out hU speech
showing that he dcelrrd it published
and published in full, In order that
his views might have the widest pub
licity. The conditions were such that
be waa prevented from delivering his
speech In fullAboogh it must be said
to Justice to Senator Tillman, that
had he been ungenerous he could have
made hie speech and bad plenty of
time to do It In, but hcewas very
careful not to intrude upon the rights
of the other Invited speakers, and
gave way to them, particularly to Mr
Smith, toe president of the OjUoq
Growers’ association. Senator Till

might not have* stuck cloee to his

high character and honor of the
State’s hignest i fflclals. But when

years that the system has been on
trial the law has been changed time
and time again. But my opinion and
advice have bad no weight. The first
bed blunder wse taking the lew out of
the hands of men elected by the peo
pie end putting it into the bands of a
board elected by the Legislature. The
next mistake was taklngthe appoint
ment of the county bbarobut of the
habds of the State board, sod giving
It to the delegation in the Legislature
from each county. The Sutc board
is no longer directly responsible to the
people, and there is no way to get at
it unless toe Governor should exerehe
his Implied power of removal. The
otuuty board is no longer responsible
to toe State board, because it does
not depend upon that board for ap
polntmant aod la not responsible u*
that hoard, except In a way, but looks
to toe Legislative delegation. Temp
tations that the Governor and other
high State officials would have been
expected to withstand have, I fear
proven too strong for the boards
elected by the Legislature. The ad
ministration by toe State board has
been lax and altogether censurable.
It has allo wed some of the most valu
able restrictive features of toe law to
fall Into disuse—filling out request
blanks, selling to minurs, drunkards,
etc. There has been no executive
head with power to see that the liw
was administered in good faith, and
the county boards have too often al
lowed Improper Influences, nepotism
and other selfish motives to govern in
electing dispensers. Ote of the most
far reaching and destructive actions
of toe State board was the change in
the manhtrof buying liquor from
that which was instituted lit toe be
ginning, to wit, the purchase of whis
key to be sold under toe brand and

B. R Tillman.
Trenton, S 0., Aug. 14..1905.
I o not doubt after the exposure
in Spartanburg otheis will < q ial If not
eclipse it elsewhere. I ooma go more
Into detail and discuss this phase o: 1
the subj -ct more at length, but
prefer to point out the remedies whloh
have suggested themselves to my
mind and which in the future 1 fee
sure will be adopted and be tbe meana
of reforming the dispensary system
and making it well nigh Imp'Mible
for any one any where to steal any of
the public money or be corrupted by
the temptations which haye been so
plentiful heretofore..
We will take tbe State dispensary
first. I believe the administration o:'
tola law should be In the hands of men
elected by the people, the same aa the
other laws are. 1 believe and always
have thought that a board ex officio,
composed of tbe Governor, Attorney
General and Comptroller General, to
be the beat that can be devised. Now
to prevent even these high officers
from being subjected to (temptation
or laying themselves op n^to charges
of corruption, such as my ^enemies
have not hesitated to bring against
me, 1 sugge.t tbe flowing plan. Let
now -re
qulred by law for bids to be submitted
bo fu'nlsh the Slate of South Carolina
for a year with such whiskey, brandy,
rum, wine and beer as it may retire
Let the Act go Into detars and speci
fically describe tbe kind and q lallty
ueeled. Whiskey and beer , are the
two main things, and " these two are
sUple artie'es and pan be described
with such definiteness and particular
ity that there will be slight need even
of an analysis by the cheffiist. - Lit
these bids be submitted in triplicate
sealed with wax. One sent to the
Slate Treasurer, accompanied by a
check for 110,000 aa evidence of good
faith, one sent to the Chief Justice of
'.he Supreme tlourt and one sent t,o
the Speaker of toe House or Repre
sentatives. Have these opened during
the session of the Legislature In toe
presence-of toe dispensary committee
of the two bouses, and award toe
contract to the lowest bidder. Then
let the State beard enter Into It with
such lowest bidder, requiring the con
tractor to deposit for the full mentof
bis obligation 1100,000 in South Cir-
Ina State bonds, or such amount as
may be thought necessary, which
shall bo subject to forfeit If he does
not comply strictly with all tbe terms
and conditions of his agreement.
The contract being thus made for
ihe purchase of whiskey of a given
dnd and quality at a given prloe, tbe
State commissioner who will have
charge of toe business part of the dis-
oeusary can order r ut from the dis
tillery at such time and in such quan
tities as may be necessary the liquors
needed to supply the demand of the
ocal dispensers. Have the bottles and
other supplies that may be needed
purchased in a similar manner to toe
whiskey, all of these belcg paid for by
cash checks on the treasurer. Let the
State commissioner take oat a recti
fier’s license and have the liquor bot
tled after dumping acd mixing* when
dtsired, and this must be under toe
mmedlate supervision and Inspection
of a United States revenue officer,
whoie books mill be a check as to toe
quantity that win thus enter Into toe
consumption. Let the dispenser’s books
and the internal revenue collector’s
books be inspected quarterly by each
the State board may appoint
per-en
■■■>t purpose, to see that the qual
ity of tbe goods contracted for and toe
goods delivered correspond, and that
all toe goods purchased have been sent
out from the State dispensary or other

through Its committee, oan examine

Where the fallen msu slipped away
a smooth, nearly perpendicular wall
was left, rising sheet 100 feet above
tbe bottom of tbe quarry, while the
entire quarry floor wu covered

toe men got away safely, four of whom
escaped by running up on a mass of

in a spies ten feet square, and 12 of
them were killed and six Injured. Two
of tbe latter may die. All of the

Two men who saw toe aide of toe

tne men. The men misinterpreted

were laid on boards and carried to the

two more were exposed to view and
two others burled deep In toe pit.
Tbe latter’s bodies may not be reached
until Thursday.
Most of the men killed or injured
are single. Others had families In the
old country. A number of women
from the foreign colony ran to the
quarry when the newt of the accident
reached them and their moaning and
anguish were pitiable.
Bad m Tallow Fever.
The desperate efforts of toe health
authorities to prevent toe spreading
of tbe typhoid fever epidemic pre
valent In Brooklyn have not been suo-
oeasful so far and the situation Is be-
ginning to be quite rltioal. It seems
that Batch Beach, Bensonhurst and
Ulmer Park, situated on toe Brooklyn
beach, extending from toe Narrows
to Ooney Island, from the center or
heart of the disease district. There
are various theorise concerning tbe
causes of the epidemic. The moet
plausible Is that persons living In the
beach district insisted mi bathing at
the wrong side of toe tide, when the
water, backed up by the rising tide,
wu strongly contaminated by the con
tents of tbe numerous sewers empty
ing Into tbe bay. The Infected area
la constantly spreading and It Is feared
that b fore long the epidemic will
gain a foothold on the Manhattan
side. Should that happen, the resale
In tbe overcrowded and unsanitary
districts of the But and West sidu
would b0 appalling. Up to toe pres
ent time there have been nearly two
ihcuiand oases of typhoid In New

THK EXAMPLE OF KANSAS.
You quote Governor Hoch, of Kan
sas, but veu do no discuss or explain
tbe official statistica in regard to
drinking aod tbe payment of the
United States internal revenue license
by retail dealers in that State. There
are no saloons in South Carolina for
tbe young to see any more than there
are in Kansas. God forbid they
should ever return. Some ot yonr co-
laborers In this fight against toe dis
pensary system, your allies and coun
sellors, are the editors of papers which
have always fought the dispensary
and are now scheming to get high
licenses after prohibition has Called,
as it will fall. There is not a civilized
Government in Christendom as far as
1 know that dees not derive a revenue
from toe sale of liquor and prohibition
was an unknown thing until about
sixty years ago. The United States
Government received last year from
this source upwards ot 9170,000,000
1thIdk there are only torep States at
this time that cling to prohibition.
Iowa and Vermont bad it some yean
ago, bat they have abandoned it for
local option^ with the right to vote in
sploons If wanted, and that is what Is
hoped for here by your chief sponsors
of the press.
One word more and I am throngh.
Let ns see about ycur historical paral-
fel about tbe great leader who was
commanded to go down against the
Amalekltes. The Hebrews of old,
true to toelr Instincts of thrift slew
the abominable tribe, but saved the
best of the sheep and oxen, as Saul
claimed for sacrifice, and you go on
to state as an historical fact that "the
Government of a State was command
ed by the moral sense of tbe people
expressed at the ballot bjx to go down
and destroy the liquor traffic. And
when called to account it makes the
plea that while it has not
strayed tbe traffic it has managed It
so as to get money for the taxpayers.”
Yonr parallel is not a parallel at all.
PEOPLE DID NOT OBDEB PROHIBITION:
The people of Sunto Carolina have
never Instructed its Government to
prohibit the sale of liquor. In. toe
separate box provided by toe Demo
cratic executive committee In the
Democratic primary of 1892, the vote
stood, asl recollect, 35,000 for prohi
bition, 25,000 against it, while 32.0C0
did not vote on It at all. (I quote
from memory.) That election was a
side show and you have no right to
magnify its significance.
This Isa government of majorities
and no majority of the people has ever
given any each order, while when the
question has bean passed on sinoe di
rectly and positively a half dozen
times, the people said that toe dis
pensary law was a better and more
sane solution. Isn’t it about time to
stop alluding to that election. The
dispensary system does not rest for its
support upon the money that it brings
□. It rests bn toe claim of its de
fenders backed by experience of our
people and statistica. as affording
more protection against toe vies of
drunkenness than any other system,
prohibition cnrHoenee either.
If it has done this In spite of mal
administration and mismanagement,
what would it not do If such men
•d. I want them to vote *‘sanely*’
after they have heard the facte and
arguments, and I want all of them to
vote who have an Interest In this
matter. Under the Brloe Act this le
not allowed.
APPEALS TO At* RECORD.
Yon mestioned Wlntorop and (Hem-
eon assmoog toe things by wblehll -
wen d be remembered. You kit off
some others that I presume tb add,
not from a sense of egotism, but simp
ly to keep toe record straight.
(1) Tbe emancipation in 1890 of
