THE DISPENSARY INVESTIGA
TION.
That dispensary commission is
bringing out sonic, mightily inter
esting facts and it louies to us as ?I'
some people had hotter begin to
get shaky about thu Knees. ICiicli
tiny that they have been in ses
sion and tho more the investiga
tions tho moro deeper tho pro Wo rs
have gone and they now bid l'air
to get nt the very bottom of thc
whole rottenness which ruled the
old dispensary und through it tho
whole state for years. Wc rejoice
in this.
Il is gratifying to know that
wo have such a fearless und able
attorney general tis ?) Ionizer Lyon.
lt wns ho, alono, with some others,
who lirsl as members of tho com
mittee appointed by thc legisla
ture some years neo bcgtili thc un
earthing bf the rottenness and the
dirt winch was heine- practiced
upon the slate of South Carolina,
(joitig from piuco to place and ex
amining thc liquor houses they
opened the eyes bf the people to
all this li I th. A grateful people
made Lyon Attorney ?cherul and
their wisdom has bccii shown every
day since he was elected.
Lyon promised iii tho campaign
two years ugo that ho was going
to trace all this corruption to its
source and he is making rapid
progress. Because lib did not nt
??nee jump in and have all the
?rowel in jail in a few months
onie people said that he was only
nuking campaign promises nod
?coiled tit the idea that he would
liven carry the matter any further.
But hero sum in the man showed
tWIl'll till . .... AV.,?..,, ..... IV. ii VI
prosecution was launched. Wit
ness after witness have been ex
amined. Ably assisted hy Col.
Felder, ol' (ia., Lyon has hoon
hammering away with all his might
and while np one lias yet hod n Con
victed still ii great amount of
evidence has been gathered and he
will now take thc light lip before
tin' courts. Thc grund jury of
Richland County will soon have
thc casos of some before thom and
should they return inditcnicnls
the cases will come up for trial
jiiul then the light will tako plate.
Ol' course noone wants un inno
cent man convicted and there is
small chance of this. What is
wanted is tho real thcivcs and thc
grafters. Got these and tho rest
can gb. lt doesn't even matter
much about thc little follows. Tho
''big guns" aro the om-s we want
to see caught and punished and wo
wish Lyon and his assistants all
thc success possible in this most
worthy undertaking.
A PARTING REMINDER.
It was announced some weeks
ago that tho Democrat would
stop coming to those who had hot
paid in advance by the first of this
Month. So this is the last issue
which will be sent out to times
who have not paid up.
Many of our subscribers have
responded to pur appeal and hav<
como and paid up. To these wc
desire to express our appreciation
and thank?;. There are others wh<
have paid no attention to tin
appctll and it is to thom that W<
desire to say a few parting words,
Tho Democrat is now nh eighl
pago paper, just twice its formel
size. Tho subscription price is $i
still und hence you can well soi
timi you aro getting much more
for the same money. The Demo
crut keeps up w ith tho news ol' thc
times and in each issue will lu
found tho ?yents of interest, nol
only in tho County but all over tin
conni ry.
lu addition to tho announcement!
which have appeared in tho paper
tho Democrat has mailed to each
ono who is in arrears a notico ask
ing that they pay up and notifying
them that unless they pay up the
paper will soon be stopped.
lt is our intention to revise the
mailing list ut once and put on each
paper sont out a label with thc name
< bo subscriber and tho date when
tho subscription expires. In tins
way tho subscriber will know just
when his paper is ont and can bo
ready to renew when tho time
conies, wo hope that each one will
remain on tho mailing list, ll'you
have not attended to this before
send in your money at once, for
aller this week lhere will be. no

il has been paid for cash in advance.
We now <;i\'o, you a chance to
renew your subscription and enter
this splendid contest. Bring in
your money and your votes and
