CURE IT OR KILL IT! ,
Each hour it becomes more evident
that this legislntnre will be forced, for
the mke ofTls own record if for no high
er purpose, to take decisive action re
garding the dispensary. The duty of
the general assembly stands out clearly;
It must act; that is the popular demand..
And theje are but two courses for
aation—the dispensary must be cored
Of its rottenness, or the dispensary mast
be killed. What will the Legislature
Hi * A
do ? Are there ten honest men in that
body who can sine.rely attest their be
lief that any remedial measure {tossible
to pass the body will be s> sustained
and enforced that it will enre the evils
existing, not in Colombia alone, but
throughout South Carolina ?
Is there one man in the legislature
who, with regard for popular sentiment
and the right of the msjority, can refuse
to recognize popular condemnation in
the vote by which sixteen out of eighteen
counties have spurned 'he whiskey
bribe-money and invited extra taxation
in order to cast the dirty dispensary
from their borders ?
, An attempt to patch the dispensary
will be but an evasion of responsibility;
it will be but an attempt to deceive the
people by holding out a promise of re
form in which the promisers cannot
sincerely have belief. The people de
mand action, positive action, and to
shirk striking the blow at the vitals of
this monster of corruption, antagonism
and nnrest will be moral cowardice and
dereliction of dnty.
r* '«■
In heaven’s name, has not the repn-
tstion of this State been sufficiently
bedraggled at home and abroad by this
"moral institution I" What is its record
if not that of debauchery 1 Left to it
self and its influences not sternly com
bated, to what depths would it not have
carried public morals! And even with
the efforts to counteract the evils follow
ing in the train of such an iniquitous
business conducted by a State, look *t
the record of a dozen years. There
have been more whiskey murders, more
drunkenness, more crime; and' when
except while poor South Carolina was
under the£heel of the alien leading the
ignerant negro, has there been one-tenth
as much dishonesty iu public office!
Pause, gentlemen of the legislature, and
exAffliae the record. Th£ canse of the
crookedness may be qtfestioued, but the
crookedness is there and nothing inore
need be expected in a State which seizes
the monopoly of the whiskey business
and debases the people by acting bar
’ The dispensary cannot be cured; it
should be killed, and at once.—Colum

voted against bis own bi 1 but he quickly
corrected himself as the house laugued

and Gaston. The house postponed the

sary directorate in tomorrow’s elections.
Both houses have indicated an indisposi

Columbia, Jan. 18.—The boose began
business today by passing without com
mittee the dispensary investigating Mil.
It then passed a bill allowing Aiken to
vote on the qneition of a county court.
It also phased the Confederate Home

the bouse amended the bill so -as to re
quire beneficiaries to produce proof of

To our Friends and Customers:
We regret our inability to occupy our
Large Brick State now under construc
tion at Walterboro, by Jan 1, as origi
nally contemplated. This unavoidable
delay has to some extent disorganized
onr plans; however it is oar purpose to
regularly start business therein at the
earliest possible moment, which we
trust will not be later than Feb 1 We
mention this fact .with the hope that
our Friends and Customers, as well as
tnose who may become such, will post
pone making definite arrangements for
the New Year until we have had a
chance to figure with them, as we be
lieve onr facilities for handling their
business unparalleled. We have some
thing good to tell them, but can not say
it here, if interested in good things call
on or wfite our president, Mr Paul
Sanders; we think that will show good
business judgment on their part, he
may say something confidentially which
would prove very advantageous. Sup
pose you drop him a line gt Ritter, S G,
at which point he will be until Store at
Walterboro has been completed.
Thanking you in advance for any con
sideration you may show ns, we are,
Yours Very Truly,
