,jriLMKAN AT SANDY FLAT.
As the people are greatly iu
jte rested in what Senator Till
man says, and will say on the
^whiskey questiou iu this cam
paign, we' give them, below all
'the salient extracts of his first
speech on the subject which he
^delivered at Sandy Flat, in
lireenville county last Saturday,
together with our commeuts.
before entering into the edi
torial however, we are go in;* to
.ask our readers to cxcuse tlic
. use of the big "I" instead of
jthe plural "we".
We feel impelled to the use of
j. 'xe singular instead of the plu
ral because wc are u candidate
^for office iu the eusuiug primary
^election, and dou't waut a single
vote obtained under false pre
Lenses.
The following is the first ex
tract from the Senator's speech
jwhich appears to me to be of im
portance:
."The fight is state dispensary
vs. county dispensary, for uo one
expects the prohibition candi
dates, however worthy and well
^qualified they may be, to re
foeive very much support. With
all their efforts (and they have
'jbeeu ni{!U\y and long continued)
the newspaj>ers which have al
ways fought the dispensary have
]Hot been able to drum up a can
didate for governor who advo
cates local optiou straight as
against dispensary and prohibi
tion."
The about expressions are un
worthy of Senator Till mau, when
^everyone knows that while 110
candidate has beeu drummed up,
a very prominent and honorable
^candidate is iu the race who ad
vocates looal option pure and
simple, which, under existing
circumstances means county dis
pensary or prohibition, that can
didate being tne Hon. M. P. A11
* sol.
This brings me to the second
find third extracts, which, to
^se a slang phrase, are warm
propositions :
'?The local option offered the
.people, is between prohibition
and county dispensary aud the
whole fight i? to destroy the
$r04e dispensary first with 110
?other purpose than to thou obtain,
the privilege of re-opening the
bid barrooms under the new
guiso of liquor stores "selling
?under constitutional limita
tions."
and
"U)0 cities where the princi
pal 'newspapers are published
will have the Hfjht on the issue
or state dispensary or county
dispensary with the ultimate
purposo of having the county
dispensaries turned into licensed
oarrooins if the county dispen
sarios lire nbolished. The scheme
a3 to restore the sale of liquor
Jo private individuals rather
Than let it remain in tho hands
of state officials. "
If these extracts are not ema
nations from a brain State dis
pensary diseased, thoy are from
the mouth of u IT)IU1> W|1Q foi. ,ljs
pwn purpose is deliberately en
deavoring to deceive tho people.
With all reverence, I say, who
in the name of God has any
thought of re-opening barroooins
under any guise? "The scheme
1* to restore the salo of liquor to
iirivato individuals rather than
eta remain in the hands of
itate officials." Hot. As Sena
Stor Tillman Is such a stickler
>r *l*cifyingt I, as a citizen de
and that he specify in this iu
stance. He can't do it for the
very good reason that there is
no such scheme and he knows it.
duZn?o? *l,?c,ft,n?r for county
dispensaries instead of one state
hoT,?ry ,'nu" <J?mo?snuu!
hnntoL U> Pr'V?nt (tor
frnptum among the thirty or
or y county boards than to stop
t m one state board. I have
great faith in the good conation
aeuse of the people and do not 1
believe they can be persuaded to
destroy the state dispensary and
leave each county to purchase
and sell its own. liquor.
If Senator Tillman had the
greatxco.nfidonce in the good
edminon sense of the {>eople that
is indicated- in the above, be
would know that a way will be,
or has been found U> preveut the
corruption in county dispeusa
ries that is said to reign iu his
pet institution, the State dis
pensary.
"The only possible good rea
son that can be advanced on this
line is that the prohibition coun
ties under the constitution re
ceive a part of the profits which
arise from the sale of liquor iu
the other counties. This is uu
just us everyone must acknow
ledge, but it cau be remedied
very easily by having the state
dispensary make no profits other
than a few thousand dollars
above its running expenses, thus
leaving the counties and the
towns to divide tlio profits be
tween them. This can be easily
done.'*
I will wager my reputatiou for
fairness against a dozen paid
subscriptions that not one per
cent of the voters have given a
thought to the fact that prohibi
tion couuties share equally with
wet counties in dispensary pro
tits. liis suggestion to run the
'slate dispensary without proiit
comes rather late from the man
who openly stated that the State
would make a protit of more
than $500,000 annually from the
scheme, and ahould do so.
"The leakage or stealage in
bottling of liquor at each couuty
dispensary would be immeuse
and I know of 110 way that it
could be jnv /ented, nor do 1
kuow any by which it would be
possible to preveut the whiskey
being watered, bottles refilled,
relabeled and oilier schemes of
makiug money dishonestly, if
the system were udopted. It is
not possible to prevent it and I
do uot think any seusible man
who considers the question will
seriously couteud that it is."
Leakage, Stealage. "I don't
know of auy way it can be pre
vented, &c." Certainly you
dou't Senator. Nobody expects
you to know for the simple rea
son that you dou't want to know.
I think I can speak for Kershaw
county. What we dou't know,
we'll find out.
"It must uot bo forgetten, be
cause it was the understanding
(aud a bargain was made) dur
ing the tight in the legislature
last winter against the state dis
pensary, that the ultimate pur*
jx>se is to have Charleston Whole
sale liquor dealers supply the
county dispensaries as well as
the jug trade by express in dry
counties; aud while this would
be belter than to have this liquor
shipped in from North Carolina
and Georgia, as it now is, be
cause it would keep the money
at home, 1 do not believe that
the people of the state are now
willing or will ever be willing
to see the state dispensary de
stroyed, with the inevitable re
sult that liquor selling will
gradually go back to the old
system of private control."
The bargain, which Senator
Tillman so vehemently avers was
made, has been indignantly de
nied by those whom the Senator
charged with being implicated
in it, while his reiteration of his
idea that liquor selling will, un
der another system than the
state dispensary, inevitably drift
back into the old system of pri
vate control, should not be taken
seriously by sensible men any
where. "
"I believe that the people only
need to see and know that the
dispensary system can bo re
formed and cleansed of corrup
tion to make theui stand by it."
The people have had ten
yours experience in this humbug
of reforming and cleansing a
mortified body, and moi'e patch
work in that direction will only
result> in further disappointment
to them, aud disgrace to the
state. I believe they have had
enough of both, however eminent
its advocate may be.
Senator Tillman concluded his
remarkable speech with the giv
ing of an elaborate plan for
purification of tno present sys
tem of selling liquor, several of
the features of which are good,
but none that could not bo in
corporated in a county dispeu
sary law to better protit. He
also paid his disrespects to the
Governors, the legislature and
newspapers, which I hope made
all of us feel bad.
In writing the above, I want
all the people to thoroughly un
derstand that I havo not writ
ten it as an office seeker, or as
*4 ??? <? i? , > Is
J
editor who wants to dictate, to
them as to what they shall, or
shall not do with this miserable
problem. I have written it as a
citijfen of Softth Carolina, with
;
an eye single to her good. My
reputation of saying exactly
what I think, is pretty well es- |
tablished, and I am now too old
to learu the modem code of
morals, which in the opinion of
many ^eems to be, "Think what
you like, but dou't say it uuless
it is popular."

"Whiskey In Kaiitmn.
As every body knows Kansas
is one of the three>so culled pro
hibition States, but it will be'
seen from what a Kansas paper
says below there is no trouble to
get whiskey out there. A man
by the name of C. 8: Jewel, of
New Castle, Pa., wrote to the
Appeul to Reason, a weekly
paper of large circulation pub
lished at Girard, Kunsas, the
following letter :
"Prohibitionists here say that
out in Kansas they have uo use
for jails since prohibition has
been adopted. Is that so?
The Appeal to Reason replied
as follows:
This will be news to Kansans.
If prohibition rules in Kansas it
has not been discovered. In
tins littlo town we have five
open saloous uud there are some
fifty or sixty saloons in the coun
ty. Our jails are just as full as
in Pennsylvania. Just us long
as protit can be made sclliug
liquor it will be sold ? according
to law or in violation of law. In
Kansas prohibition does not pro
hibit Our saloons are really a
greater menace than licensed
saloons.
When it is known that about
three thousand people m Kansas
hold United States Internal
Rovenue licenses to retail whis
key and other liquors the state
ment of the Kansas paper can
easily be believed.
All Sorts.
Col. Pumpkins has withdrawn.
Why not? This is a free coun
try.
Scraps and base ball. Are
both necessary to success in the
same game?
Hon. Cole Blease, senator*of
Newberry county, and would be
Governor of South Carolina,
says if defeated for Governor,
he will go back to the senate,
and work ior the dispensary for
the next two years, "so help
liiin God. ' Good church people
tell us that God is agaiust the
proposition.
Attorney General 7?pumans is
not prosecuting alleged grafters
fast these days. Blama Lyon.
Cert', but why? Governor Hey -
ward has a clearer right and
duty to make an affidavit than
has Lyon as all the evidence is
in his hands, and the pardoning
board takes all responsibility off
his hands in case of convictions.
