A GOOD WORD Prom a South Carolina College Professor for the STATE DISPENSARY. He Says No Student Has "Been Up" for Intoxication Since the Dispen sary Began Contrast With Con" dillons Under Barrooms. hlfeet Beneficial. The Columbia Ko cord says at one time the sentiment of Illohland ci nin ty and especially Columbia was over whelmingly against the dispensary, but year by year thoro has been a steady ohange until now few people doubt that a majority ot the people of Columbia as well as of Richland coun ty favor the dispensary. This was evidenoed by this county's eleotion of delegates to tho state I)?mooratic con vention. This chango of sentiment has been brought about gradually by a growing conviction that conditions in this town as far as sobriety ls oon corned have been greatly Improved by the operation of tho dispensary system Not only is lt true that those who had already acquired the drink habit drink less than they did lu the old barroom days, but lt ls also true that those who have come to manhood during tho thirteen yeats of tho dis pensary's operation In this oity are remarkably free from Un drink habit. Advocates of the dispensary havo al ways held this out as one of the great est advantages and blessings of that institution, that it deoreased the in ducements to drink and that therefore tho longer lt was operated tho fewer would be the young mon of oao'i gen eration who acquired tho drink habit. That this has been the case in Colum bia lt would be idle to deny. A stead ily increasing realization of this faot has been responsible for the equally steady ohange of felling here as to the dispensary. It is true that the revenue to both city and county from the dis sary is very large aud greatly helps in permitting large publie improvements without inorea86 of the tax levy, hut thin fact is by no means responsible for the ohange of scutlmcnt, though lt bas undoubtedly helped. But many former enemies of the dispensary have been converted and among them are soores whoso opinions could not bc ohanged by mere monetary considera tions. A striking instanoe of the Improve mont of conditions in Columbia as a result of tho operation of the dispen sary law was stated In conversation Monday by ono of the prof et sors of the South Carolina university, which for more than a hundred years has been engaged lu Columbia in the great work ot educating the young men of South Carolina. It Isa wall-known faot that the graduates of that Insti tution have taken a remarkably pro minent part in the politics and gov ernment of this state. Therefore it oannot be denied that what hcnclits them morally, or physically, that tends to make them bolter men and citizens, has beni li .dal results for soores of years after they leave the College? The professor was discussing the al legation that thc dispensary was a governmental novelty, practically without precedent. He laughed at this theory and quoted a number of precedents of governmental control of business, even where there was not that chief reason for the dispensary, that is a beneficial exerolso cf the po lice power of the state. Continuing he said in substance. A remarkable tribute to the dispen sary ls the fact that in ten years the faoulty of the South Carolina univer sity has noe had occasioned to try a student for intoxication. It is unfor tunately true that among thc more than three hundred students at tho university there are sumo who drink but the conditions have been so chang od by the operation of the dispensary that none of them drink so that it ls necessary for the faculty to take cog nlzance of their Indiscretions, lt was nob so in the days prior to the dispen sary, when there were so many temp tations and inducements to young men to drink. Then many a young Student, without Intending to do so. drank to thu point of Intoxication. Ile would come up street for one reason or another, meet friends, stop In a bar to take a drink or two, get Into a orowd of good fellows, each of whom h. slided ho must have his turn at treating, and take a half ck/.MI or moro drinks where he bad only inten ded taking one. The ( tl'sct of che op eration of the dispensary upon stu dent life lu Columbia bas been so btn efloial as to have made its substitu tion for the barrooms a rial blessing. Horribly Muttlatod. According to a report that han reaohed cillo3rs at Spartanburg a bor rlble fate was meted out to a fruit tree salesman by moonshiners in tho Dark Corner. According to tho story the unfortunate mau, who was selling trees in that territory, was suspected of being a revenue odl sor In disguise, and one night last week ho was ontlo ed f:om a house whoro he boarded and takon Into the woods by a party of t. dozen or moro mountaineers. After tying tho man to a log a sharp knife in tho hands of one of the number was used in Inflicting Injuries too horrible for publioitlon. lt is learned that tho vlotlm of the moonshiners' wrath has since died. It later developed that the man was an agent of a fruit treo concern, as he claimed, and that he had no purpose to spy on tho business of tho residents of tho mountainous section. Another Tragedy. At Now York John Kltrovlop, who represented that he was employed at tho Metrople houso, shot a woman with whom she had been living as wife at 457 West 14 :h street Friday morning ard then sent a buhot through his own brain, dying lnsrant ly. Tho woman, who gave her name as Cela McGarry, ls pronounced In a serious condition. Jealousy lb given as the cause. [Mordered * m>.v. A negro whoso name ls not known ls in J -.ll at Clovoland, Miss., ohargod with having murdered a seven yoar old boy, beoauso tho boy had refused to perform a certain task required by the negro. The boys body was found several miles from the hcono or tho orime tied in a sack. Considerable excitement prevails. WORSE THAN PRISON.

Two police ( Ulcers in tho mil lionaire's pay boarded the same train. B iger O'Mara, former Oblof of Po lice and Detectives of Pittsburg, who worked up the case against Parkman for Mr. Prick, has been employed by Mr. Kr lek to keep tab on Parkham so long as he is alive. It will cost him $10,000 a year to malntaiu the watch but he considers lt the same as a life insurance policy. A ti ho walked into the fseealr Berk tr an's Joy was almost hystorioal.

From this moment until either Mr Friok or Berk man dies, two detective? will watoh Berkmnu and report to Mr. Frick every movemont Berkman makes, evory word bc utters as far as possible. The former anar chist will nob know lt, always, but wherever he goes he will be under sur velllance; his future life will bea bock ??ho detectives will hold opjn for Mr. Frick to read. Deputy Police Superintendent J jhrson, of Allegheny, and a score of detectives met Berkman at tho work house door and to.d him that he would havo to make his stay in that otty short. Perk man ropllcd: "1 will gladly do as you wish. 1 have already remained in this v oin!ty much longer than 1 wished to." There ls an old State law whloh allows a suit of oloths to every priso ner discharged from the penitentiary whohasevjr fifty miles to go to reach his destination. Berkham ap plied for his allowance, but was refus ed on the ground that his workhouse ?lentence oame after his discharge from the penitentiary. He had wo llttlo money. About $3J was bib stock and $5 Of this he left at the workhouse for the benetit o? p> or prisoners who were obout to bc els charged penniless. In response to a question as to why he shot H. C.

The system he represented is dying of Its own corruption. It docs nob need-my bullets to help lt die. "There ls ono thing I want to de ny," said Berkman, "and that Isthat I am to become a leader of the a ar ohlsts in this OOUDtty and take Heer Must's place. There ls uothlog in that." P.lvate detectives arrested Berk man at the workhouse door. It was a strange birthday party, for Berk man coming into the world again call ed this his "birthday." Again and again in his J jy Berk man apostrop'"-'7.>d nature uutll a dis gusted Alleuhe y detective declared posblvoly "the fullow has gone mad."

In & New York editor's ottJoe one day, the sanotum of a great news paper that wields Influence, a woman who wan doing her little best lu tho world of letters was introduced to Mr. Wm. Lloyd Garrison, son of that Boston man who did things. "You came from South Carolina?" be lt quired with a polite Interest. "Oh, yeal That ls Mrs. Youug's 8ta*e," said ho. "You know Mrs. Young?" Mr. Garrison along with Mr. Curt's, Higginson and other worthy advocates of suffrage for wo man know Mrs. Young as a woman Suffragist hcnoo it happens that, in oirolcs of advanced views Mrs. Young and South Carolina are. braoketod together, ono and indissoluble. Tho woman's right movemont, 'tis said, does poorly in South Carolina. Hut Mrs. Young ls upholding tho banner and gotting in an enteile g wer'go wheresover she oan. Those who have seen her at homo, feel that sho is oreating the best possible senti ment In favor of her cult by reason of the dainty home atmosphere she maintains, and her genuine devotion to her husband's comfort and interest. A mostdetiulto characteristic of this woman pioneer is that she elevates the commonplace duties of life into pleasures and oontrlves that every thing shall be sweet and olean and purely wholosomo within her gate?. Woman acquainted with our languor ous oUmate that invites to a ham an ck aud a book oftener than to ac tive employment will appreciate thc unremitting personal supervision re quired to keep things fresh and at tractive in a household. "I always strain the milk myself as soon as lt comes In," she explains, excuslrg herself for this purpose.

Toe oirlOL.n.s:s who depict the wo mau's rights advocates in tho comic p&pe*s as g rot ec. que ilgures, garbed In jtraugc attire, swaggering forth with hatchets or banner to break down es tablished CuSiOms, ought to see Mrs. Young wot king hor butter, or beating up bl. cult, feeding her chickens or gathering cgKS, culling roses or set bing forth her dainty ?break fast table. Plum toey might get some fresh ideas on female suffrage. She would bc suro to talk while they were there, and whatever she talks about she en ters Into with her whole heart. She believes in herself aud that ls why you believe lu her after you n eet lier. You may not subscribe to her doc trines altogether but upon hearing her discourse you are more apt to HOC the reasonableness of .arguments ai she puts them. A short-haired freak tampering with theories far beyond her and from whose presence tho orderly and beauty loving flee from bored?, m per .soi i i li.

Young refutes this both in appear ance and in manner of dally living Wnllc she talks you listen and are glad to listen, willoh is moro than ctn be said of a goodly number of the talkers of the ear uh. She will re Ute how successfully the women are moving things politically out lu I labu and Colorado and other parts. She will tell of the young wo man legislator she knows, who "thinks up bills" for public improve mr nt tile while she nurses her baby and what this, that or the other cele brity she knows ls dolrg from pulpit, press or platform. There is a j ike In staid old Boston that the folks there stay lieder dormant somewhat like a whale, and havo to come "up" every now and then in New York to breathe freely. Just so women abiding 1 i the tranquil, long established lines of thought get a whiff of a larger, more charged atmosphere lu Mrs. Yourg's talk, li unlnlsoenoes of conventions here, there and yon, of tilpa to Washington on public mission of nroHb club confabulations and snob.

Mrs. Y.nmg edits and prints a weekly newspaper in her own house ind writes essays and articles for the various woman's rights organs. She lias written three books, all printed In Boston and all bringing out clearly her views as to wc man's conventional itatns in soolety. There is a strong vein of religion In her books. And a plea for the beauty of wholesomeness is portrayed In the love of whatso 3ver is good, pure and true in human life. A woman of miall stature and pro portions, she is evidence that spirit ind not mutter count most In affairs.

God mado the man for the woman, and tbs woman for the man. Eaoh ls iuoomplete without tho other. In our experience even those who have married Indifferently will havo devel oped completer and nobler characters than those who have remained single. Marriage teaohes both thu ....m acd woman tolerance, patlonoe, tender ness. It lulls thc passions and stimu lates the lutolligenoo. When there are children the noblest virtuos and aspirations aro aroused. Father and mother are uulted in tho desire to do their utmost for the helpless ll lt io ones who depend upon them alto gether, and make life fresh and young and beautiful for them. Thero are certain men no woman should dare to marry. She would r ot dare to marry a man she does not love, no matter how exemplary his character and how attractive his bank account. Happmtsi in marriage is Urst?nd fort most dependent upou tho Individual aud his power of not simply respeot, but the deepest and com pletehb devotion. Tho mau who would make ono woman divinely happy would make another miser able, because she ls not his mate, and tho good Lord never meant her to dwell with him. There must be that congeniality, that sympathy, that In expressible something that men call love, that accepts its mate altogether, Ignoring all faults, hearing all things, behoving all things, hoping all Mihi,::!, enduring all things, never failing in tenderness aud loyalty even though the whole world should turn against the beloved one. Such a love is worth walting for at d worth living for. To mo.st women there is not much else In the world worth living for-and to most men also, since lt ls the only sure basis for permanont happiness. No matter how much a woman may think she loves him, she should not dare to marry a dissipated mau. True love ls rooted and grounded in rc .ipect. A woman may pity profound ly a man of weak character, but she cannot love him. Fl ty is so akin to love that women aro deceived by lt Into the ht lief that lt ls a real dcvo Hon. Hut lt will not last, lt ls no premer foundation 'for the married state. Tue more intimate your rela tions with a dissipated mau, the more worthless he seems. He ls like a rotten branch that thc lirst wind will sweep to the ground. There ls no dependence upon him, no pleasure In him, no true love for bim.

Tho ligures are not comparative.

SliNAIOR WANNING fOMFS OUT g?si ?OVBHNOtt. [n a Plain, Business I ike Address to l'emocratio Voters of the (tote. Tho following address will explain itself : To tho Democratic Voters of South Carolina: I will stand for the Demooratlc nom'nation for governor cf South Carolina in the primary election to be heid in August, 1900. I will stand on my record as a man, a olt'zm, and on my record as a pub lic rtllolal In the general assembly. 1 stand on my reoord as a Democrat, adhering steadfastly to the doctrines of that? party in advocaoy of those principles of right and Justloo which prcteot and defend the rights of the Individual, as well as the protection of property. believing t at the foundation stone of a republloau form of government rests on tho froo, untrammeled ex pression of the popular will, I staud f r pure eltcMonB, freo from tho cor rupting and debasing pr?cticos of the use-of money, whiskey or anything which tends to iulluenoe voters, except the legitimate and educational influ ence of arguuaeut. I Btand for the steady development ?ind improvement of the educational system of the State, liberally support ed. I stand fer the equalization of as essomnts of propel ty, so that the burden of taxation will fal) moro ? v. ntly than at present. I stand for tho rigid application o' business methods to all departments of government, and the nqulrerueut ot faithful orformance of services lu all the departments 1 stand for rigid economy in the public service, so far as ls consistent with t moloney, ano wioh that spirit of progress which re quires new methods to meet uew con ditions Realizing fully that success lu the txcoutlve onair oan be attained only oy the j ist and Urm administration ot laws 1, pledge myself to the unfal terlng enforcement of law by every power vested In the chief cxeoutive under the constitution aud laws of the State. The otlloo of tho governor Is ext cu (.Ive and administrative, not legisla tivo. lt is his duty and prerogative to en folds law, whathever the law ls, and I pledge myself faithfully to dlsoharge this duty should I be elected. lu v.ew of the widespread discuss ion of the liquor question, I deem lt proper to state briefly my posltlou on this question. I aomlt that there has been a grow lng tendency to curtail drink, and the tin:, may come when prohibition can be made tit motive lu South Carolina. But, In my judgment, that time has not come, and this question must bc met in a practical way. I reafilrm my conviction that tho dispensary iystem, as embodied In the dispensary .aw, and amended, as proposed in the lt ysor-Manning bill, faithfully, uonestly and firmly enforced, would promote tempor?neo and sobriety, re itrlot the sale and use of liquor and minim;/.3 its evils. Let me bo plainly understood. 1 believe that liquor ls Ul evil, but it is an evil that oannot ??ct, be banished from South Carolina, ind the cost, that eui be done ls to reg u'ate the salo of liquor by law and mr tall and restrict its us", and that ids can best bi done under a rigid nforoement of the dispensary law, imended as proposed by the llaysor Manning bill. I wlil di clare my position fully and without reserve on al' question agl ating the public mind lu my public .i tte ranees during the campaign. Richard I. Mini lug. Sumter. S. C., May 19, 1906.
