I am glad to see so many correspondents coming out every week and all willing to vote out the dispensa rys, all but one who said that he did not think it any of his business to tackle the dispensary question. Does he want his children educated with dispensary money? Just think that if we had no whiskey in our State that if would be much better for the young and rising generation in the days to come, I lorry Boy. - - ? ?? - ? Cool Spring-.

Criticism is not argument, and all that the anti-dispensary advocates need to do, is to show the enormous expense it takes to run the dispensary and all the supposed profits come from the poor devil who drinks the whiskey, show it to the people that it is against their interest financially, morally and every other way to con tinue the dispensary, and the fi^ht is won. The art icle of Dr. Norton was a clear cut statement of the qispensary situation in a nutshell. We know our dispensary brethren hated to see this article in print for il they could make the impression on the minds of the people that the dispensary and not the people paid something to school funds, it would help this cause In his effort to white wash some of liis dispensary friends who were under lire, the Hon.

Editor Herald: I am glud to learn of so many citizens in various communities who seem to be ready and willing to work against the dispell sar y. As the the citizens have rights they also have corresponding duties. Therefore, men should study that which will best promote the good of the conn try. Every voter should study his po liticaiduty with the best light that he can obtain, and decide what is right and then vote, his sentiments honestly and fearlessly. If the State has good goovorment, the voter deserves the credit, and if it have bad gavernmcnt, the voter deserves the blame. It. is the same way with the dispensary. If we vote against the dispensary, we deserve t he credit and if we vote in favor of the dispensary we deserve the blame. Many citizens seem to think that the dispensary fund is a great help to our public schools, but they don't secin to think about theexper.se we have to pay to keep up the dispensary. 1 hope they will think about the expense it is to us. We have to pay about one dollar extra, and only ufet about 20 per cent back in return. So fellow citizens lets be ready ind when the election comes otT which will be about theHrd of October, vote against the dispensary. "Citizen." Hand. Mr. E.

C, Laohicottc the chief oppcrator in tliis business, has at various times prosecuted some of the citizens, and his caused them a great deal of trouble and has even blulTed fines out of some of the darkies, for gathering the products of Natural (Jrowth out of these creeks being held by them under a most bold, hostile and wrongful scheme. It is positively known that they have never planted those creeks in clams. They have no need to do that for those creeks have ever abounded in natural growth shell fish and annually being supplied naturally. Furthermore planting clams cannot be done at a profit, neither have they planted any oysters, they have put some shells on the natural growth oyster beds, which so far as 1 have seen have proved a detriment. Besides, as I understand the law, they have no right to interfere with those natural growth beds. Those beds are annually growing natually as line oyster's, as can be found in any other portion of Murrels Inlet, and there are men, who are degrading thenicolvi.c lt\w iiiwiinrli i UVI .J ny ?* * IIV/VI^U VV ?T U tV/ll IIIW^U creeks for this company, and debar theeiti/.ens of their rights and priv oleics, and two lawyers told me that the State had I he right to lease natural growth beds of shell lish to individuals. Then if this be so, why did Hreslaur Luchicotte & Co., have to have those sworn statements sent to the sinking fund commissioners, -dating that there were no oysters or clams in those creeks lit for maretable purboses, before they could obtain the lease. Men who will say or do things thatare wrong, knowingly for money, are not lit for a watchdog around a man's premises. We know that swearing to lies is against the holy will of (lod and is a crime that stands against the peace and dignity of our State, and we read so many places in the bible where the Lord has brought dis* aster and tribulations on the people for wickedness ami sin and there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning in tin; Lord. lie is the same Hod today that he ever was and ever will be, and if we allow honesty and principle t> be laid aside and uione\ to predominate, we may then expect the wrath of (1 ,d to come upon us. and what is more wiclo d than robb ng the poor of their rights just, because a li.tle financial influence is prevailing bad ts say, hut we see it is so, that men are doing and saving things today that they know are wrong, both the high and the low, because they are getting money for it, if this state of aaffuirs is allowed to goon uncheck ed the time will shortlv be when a man's life can be bough' for a small sum, for sin is like an herb or plant, when planted and cultivated, tho roots will reach out further and further into the soil until it becomes very large and strong, ami inonev seems to lie a good soil to cultivate wickedness in. Now if it can be detected that those lease holders are holding marshes and creeks and beds that they have no right to hold which as 1 understand the law can be done, if properly looked into, then let them be dealt with according to the laws of our country. If they are allowed to go free, would it be any more rash or against the morals of our country to open the jail doors and let all the other evil doers go free? J. S. Vick. KIM MOSS NOT! CMS.
