Four Facts For
Sick Women
To Considet
Lydia E. Pint ham's Vegetable Compound
Has an Unequalled Recotd of Cures?
Mrs. Vinklfam's Advice Is Confide*
tial. Free, and always Helpful
First.?-That almost every operation
In our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache. Irregular
and painful menstruation, leucorrhtaa,
displacements of the uterus, pain in
the side, burning sensation in tla* stom
ach, bearing-down pains, nervousness,
dizziness and sleeplessness.
8kcond.?The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
It regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, all uter
ine and ovarian inflammation, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
menstruation perfectly and overcom
ing its pains. It has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing for childbirth
and the change of life.
Third.?The great volume of unso
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass., munv of which are from time to
time published by permission, give ab
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Fourth.?Every ailing woman in the
United States is asked to accept the
following invitation. It is free, will
bring you health and may save your
life.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
to Women.?Women buffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs Pink
ham. at Lynn. Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From syiyptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Out of the vast volume of ex
perience in treating female ills Mrs.
Pinkham probably l-.as the very knowl
edge that, will help your case. Surely,
anj' woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage of this

Oppose and Fight It.
In an open letter to Francis W. His*
Sins, of Newberry, Senator Tillman
comes out squarely against the move
ment against the dlapensary and de
clares that the several counties should
not accept prohibition until the Legis
lature has been given a chance to re
form the institution. It is as follows:
Trenton, S. C.. July 1, 1905.
Mr. Francis W. Higgins, Newberry,
8. C.
Dear Sir: I have your letter of June
27, propounding certain Inquiries in re
gard to the anti-dispensary movement
in Newberry, and to the dispensSry
and liquor question in general, and to
my own attitude towards it.
The question you ask relate to the
most Important subject now agitating
the minds of the people of the State,
and in order to cover the ground at all
satisfactorily it will require me to an
swer at some length and to discuss the
subject- in its various phases, and this
becomes the more necessary as you no
tify me in advance that you desire my
answer for publication.
I shall preface what I write by lay
ing down certain general principles
which will be disputed only by those
who are fanatical and unwilling to
consider any subject from any other
standpoint than that of bigotry and
prejudice. Most men will agree to the
following:
1. All men love stimulants and are
usually slaves to some one kind, as
witness the strong appetite which pre
vails for coffee, tea, tobacco, beer,
wine, brandy, whiskey, morphine, qui
nine, cocaine, etc. With the exception
of some of the drugs mentioned there
are no injurious effects immediately
perceptible and none of them intoxi
cate except those containing alcohol.
Alcoholic beverages in moderation arc
no more harmful tlian tea or coffee,
probably less so.
2. The abuse of liquor by men drink
ing to excess has caused as much or
more crime and misery than any other
one thing.
3. The proper policing and control
of the liquor traffic so as to minimize
its abuses is one of the most perplex
ing and troublesome questions with
which any government has to deal.
Men have never agreed as to any one
method being best and never will, and
there is a constant agitation of the
subject in some form going on all the
while in almost every State in the
Union.
4. Experience shows that some men
will have liquor as a beverage and
that no law has ever yet been devised
which will prevent them obtaining it.
Wise men are therefore content to re
duce the evils of liquor selling and
liquor drinking to the minimum, and
the question nt issue in South Caro
lina now as it has been these fifteen
or twenty years past, is how to do
this.
There is no need for any heat or pas
sion In discussing the subject and we
should divest ourselves of all preju
dices In its consideration. Thre^ poli
cies have at one time or another been
adopted in dealing with the question.
License, high or low, prohibition nnd
the dispensary system. Since 1893 the
last named has been the method fol
lowed In this State, but all along there
have been staunch advocates of the
other two systems embracing within
their ranks many of the mo?t intelli
gent and beat people we have. It is.
therefore eminently proper that wo
recognize these earnest, honest advo
cates as having just what we claim for
ourselves, no other purpose than that
of the public welfare. And those of us
who have l>een the supporters of the
dispensary system must meet them in
argument and show from the experi
ence through which the people of the
^ptate have passed as well as with force
and logic thnt the advocates of both
prohibition and high license are in er
ror.
You ask, "Have you lost faith in the
dispensary system and do you consider
it so inherently defective that it cannot
be purged of corruption and mude to
servo its original purpose?" I answer
most emphatically, no. I believe the
principle of the State control and the
sale of liquor through bonded ofTlcera
to be the best that was ever devised;
that It comes nearer to the Ideal Idea
of teaching mo to use liquor Instead
of abusing it. and throwing around it
safeguards which will be the best for
the cause of temperance. There Is no
Inherent defect In the scheme, and If
there be corruption and mal-admlnls
tratlon In the enforcing of the dispen
sary law It Is directly traceable to the
legislature and to those who have been
placed In charge of Its execution. In the
absence of any positive proof of corrup
tion we must nwalt with deep Interest
the Investigation which Is now under
way and urge those In charge of that
Important work to earnest, thorough
and speedy action. The people believe
there is corruption and a great deal of
It. Very many things go to show that
this belief has good foundation In fact.
We ought to know as soon as possible
just what and how far men have been
guilty of unlawful behavior.
The suspicion which now hancs over
the dispensary like a pall will cause
many to hastily vote for Itse desl ruc
tion. who arc still or have been strong
believers In the dispensary system as
a means of controlling the sale of whis
key. So I would say to the gentlemen
who are In charge of the Investigation
that they can do the people of the State
a great service by le ttlng In the light
and probing to the bottom. We want
to know what Is wrong and we can
then determine how to provide a rem
edy. while the criminal courts will, or
ought to provldo punishment for the
wrongdoers.
The dispensary law has been undei
Are In the courts and on the hustings
ever slnco the system was Inaugurated.
There has been only one general elec
tion In the State, the last in which It
was not an Issue. It won victory after
victory for It was the msln Issue In the
election of 1894, In the election for the
constitutional convention In 1885, and
In the State elections of 1896. 1898. 190(1
and 1902. Those candidates for public
office who carried Its banners were al
ways victorious.
What then has caused the present
upheavnl? Why are petitions circulat
ing In a dozen or more counties ask
ing for an election to vote It out under
the Brlce law, and that too in coun
ties which. In the past Its known ad
vocates have always bad large major
Itlee? Hare the people any gmttr
faith 1b prohibit km than they han had
all these pest years? I do not thlak
so. Are the advocates of high license
any stronger than they hare been? I
do not hlnk so. I am bound to believe
that the existing dissatisfaction and
deelre to destroy the dispensary comes
from the well-nlght universal belief
of the people that there Is corruption
In Its sdmlnlstrstlon and because the
last Legislature failed to take any ac
tion other than that to appoint a com
mittee to Investigate. There were'
charges, with how much truth they
were made I dont know, that the dis
pensary Influence In the "Legislature
was psramount. Anyhow, the friends
of the dlspenssry snd Its enemies
joined forces at the last session to pre
vent any action, and nothing was done,
and unless public opinion shall drive
the Legislature at Its next session to
some reform action which will purify
the atmoephere there is no possible
doubt* that all elements of opposition
to the dispensary, aided by many of
Its old friends, will combine lit the
next election and kill the system. I
do not hesitste to tell you frankly that
if it has become, and is to remain a
corrupt political machine aa la charged.
I cannot defend it and will not do ao,
but will Join the ranks of those who
seek to kill it. I believe it can be re
organized and purged of corruption,
with safegurads thrown around it to
prevent the recurrence of the present
unfortunate and disgraceful condition
of affairs. I cannot now go at length
Into the details and give reasons, but
I will state briefly the causes as I see
them which have produced the present
situation. * t
?The purchase of liquor by any board
ex-officlo or otherwise, should be stop
ped. The original scheme which was
hastily gotten up made the Governor,
attorney general and the comptroller
general ex-officlo the State Board of
Control. This was changed very soon
after I left the Governor's office and
the Legislature assumed control by the
election of the board; and Jn no in
stance since has my advice and opinion
had any weight in shaping its manage
ment though I have tried to prevent
some things being done and have urged
others without success. It stands to
reason that men who have to depend
upon the suffrage of the whole people
to get high office are or ought to be of a
higher type with better characters and
in every way better fitted for reaspon
slble positions involving the handling
of public money than those who with
petty salaries are elected by the Legis
lature. Politics always enters into a
legislative election. People who vote
for Governor vote for him beoause
of other qualifications than that he
would make a good dispensary direc
tor, and for this very reason the Gov
ernor is the best possible man to placo
in such a responsible position. But
the law is fatally defective in regard
to the purchase of whiskey in not
specifically defining in the most mlnuta
and binding manner Just what kinds
of liquor shall be bought and how it
ehall be bought without leaving it to
the discretion of any board. Every
detail should be worked out and thrn
the law would execute itself as far as
that feature is concerned. The board
would then need only to supervise the
conduct of State and county dispen
saries, the same as the asylum and
penitentiary are run.
Now as regards the proposed elec
tion to vote out the dispensary. If the
dispensary is to be voted out It should
and must be voted out of the State, not
out by individual counties. Of course I
recognize the deep seated love of our
people for local self government and I
would not compel any county to retain
the dispensary or have one established
therein If a majority of the citizens
want prohibition with Its acknowleged
failure to prohibit. But judging simply
by the facts in the numerous elections
that have been held on the subject I
believe that a large majority of the
people of the State are as strong be
lievers in the dispensary system as 1
am: and that they are only casting
about now for a method of relieving
themselves of the corrupt machine
which Is said to be in charge In Colum
bia. Many States In the Union have
had corruption in their State govern
ments and their State treasurers have
defaulted?have sometimes stolen hun
dreds of thousands of dollars?but no
man has ever thought of abolishing
the machinery of taxation because of
this. We have got to deal with liquor
in some form and provide for Its le
gitimate sale or we know It will find
illegitimate sale.
Shall we have high license? I say
No. That gives the monopoly to the
wealthy man as against the poor man
and we know from experience with
bar-rooms that It will be Impossible to
give any man the right to fill his store
with liquor to sell and then have him
comply with the constitutional require
ments and not sell It at night and not
have it drunk on the premises. If the
dispensary Is abolished I will stump
the State for prohibition rather than
see high license. I have said this and
It Is the reason probably that the story
Is going the rounds about my stumping
for prohibition. But before we have
prohibition or high license either I ex
pect if my health continues good, to
give a very earnest discussion to the
subject of how to reform the dispen
sary Instead of destroying It and to
showing the true Inwardness of the
present movement.
I^et us suppose that the present cam
paign against the dispensary by county
elections, shall progress victoriously as
It has thus far and that the majority
of the counties lu the State vole It out.
Will the question be settled? By no
means. The alliance of prohibitionists,
high license people nnd blind tigers
which Is now waging successful war
will have to continue the war between
themselves after the dispensary is de
funct. Sensible men will not lend their
aid to tiny crusade which only gives us
"confusion worse confounded" and pro
duces a chaotic condition with no com
pensation.
Under the decision of the United
States Supreme Court, prohibition and
no other State regulation can prevent
liquor from being shipped In by ex
press for personal use of individuals,
and the jug country traffic from Wil
mington to Charlotte, Atlanta, Augus
to and Savannah will be Immense un
der prohibition, and the money which
now goes Into the dispensary for the
use of the towns and counties of the
State and the school fund will be sent
out of the State to enrich the dealers
and distillers of other States. Stills
will be run In every swamp and wag
ons will peddle liquor all over the
country. The only fight worth enlist
ing In South Carolina Is between pro
hibition as rigidly enforced as It can
be and the dispensary as honestly en
forced as It ought to be. High license
Is not to be thought of for a moment.
Yet the prohibitionists say they prefer
the dispensary to license and the
license people say they prefer prohi
bition to the dispensary while the
blind tlgera wnnt prohibition because
they know it means free liquor.
i The elections now being held In the
' counties to vote the dispensary out
are very different to the Democratic
primary elections which will settle the
question finally. In the first place the
vote In these counties where election?
have iH'en held against the dispensary
i has been very small as compared with
the regular roti It requires a certifi
cate of registration to vote at such an
election white la the primary the club
jolle of the Democratic clubs govern.
Then men are Indifferent ae they were
In the prohibition election In 1892 when
only sixty thousand out of ninety-two
thousand voted In thst box. There
ere probably thirty thousand or more
good Democrats In the State who from
one cause or another ere not able to
vote in the elections held under the
Brice -net. Thst law was shrewdly '
and lor the express purpose of I
killing the dispensary I have been told.
These thirty thousand will determine !
the question In the future ss they have
In the past because they will elect the
Legislature and the State officers In I
the 8tste?Democratic primary In spite
?"T combination such as is now giv- 1
Ing us prohibition by a negative pro
cess. Voting out the dispensary not
because the people want prohibition
but giving us prohibition because some
people want free liquor, some people
prefer to buy Illicit liquor and a return
to the old barroom system, while many
P?ople will do anything to kill the dis
pensary with the hope of profiting by
its destruction.
,1 would advise every advocate of
the dispensary who Is in doubt to vote
against putting the dispensary out of
his county until we see what the report
of the investigsting committee is snd
then whether or not the Legislature at
it? next session will purge the corrup
tion out of the dispensary system, and
put safeguards around it for the future.
I say unhesitatingly It can be done
successfully. The dlspensarv svstem has
shown Its strength In past " elections
becauBP people thought it was honestly
administered. All that Is nc.-essary is to
have them understand as they will un
derstand by 1906 that they must kill
the law In order to get rid of the cor
ruption and they will make short work
of it. It must be made clean or it must
go. At present the campaign to vo?e
it out county by county only brings
about confusion, encourages blind ti
gers and causes the counties and State
to lose money, and settles nothing, and
it is Impossible to settle the question
in this way. I repeat It can onlv be
settled at the general Democratic pri
mary when all the people have heard
all sides and have made up their minds
intelligently.
I desire to add in conclusion that j
practically I am a prohibitionist oe- !
cause I very rarely drink any liquor
of any kind. If I believed that prohlbl- j
tlon could be enforced, understanding I
as I do most thoroughly the great evil 1
attending the abuse of liquor I would j
he a prohibitionist but knowing from !
the most searching investigation and ;
from the ofTlclal record of the United I
States government that in Maine and !
Kansas where prohibition prevails that i
there has been a most dismal failure to 1
enforce the lav I prefer to the (iispen- .
sary as the lesser evil, and as I have
often said In the past I believe that
State control comes nearer to the ideal
management of this troublesome ques- !
tlon than any other.
I have no personal Interest in view '
and am only actuated by a sense of
public duty in taking the position I
have occupied in the past and which
I shall continue to occupy.
I have always believed In the rule '
of the majority. But I want it to he i
the majority of all the Democrats in l
the State. B. It. TILLMAN. j
