WHAT HE WANTS." A Mr. Ansel Defines His Position i on the Dispensary Issue. AVOWED CANDIDATE J 1 i For Governor Says Me Is Opposed to the System of n State Dispensary. But Favors Local Option and County Dispensaries, and OpnnspK Hiuh I trpnup ?'VO-" ""A" MlVVUilVI To the Editor of The State: 1 have received many inquries as to my views of the liquor question in South Carolina, anci the best way of dealing with that all absorbing question, dispensary or no dispensary, and 1 take t lis means of stating my position. In the first place, I am opposed to the system of a State dispensary. 1 once thought it was the best solution of the liquor question, because I thought it would minimize and decrease the sales of liquors in this State, but when we consider that more than $3,000,000 worth of whiskey has been sold by the various dispensaries of the State the past year, my hopes have been disappointed; and it appears to me that some other method should be adopted. In the seeond place, I am in favor of local county option, as between prohibition and county dispensaries; that is, 1 am in favor of any county in the State voting upon the question as to whether they wish prohibition lor that county, or whether they wish county dispensaries. If a majority of the qualified voters of the c >unty desire prohibition for that particular county, then I am one who believes that they should have it, and I further believe that the good people of such county will see to it that the prohibition law is enforced. If the vote of any county should be In favor of the sale of liquor In that particular county, then I favor a law providing for a county dispensary with a board of control of three members, to he appointed by the governor of the State, which county board shall have control of the purchase of liquors for the county dispensaries, the appointment of dispensers, fixing their salaries, etc , all sales to be made under the rules and rei/ulatinrm as may bo thought wise by the legislature. 1 am opposed to beer dispensaries, as 1 thing that beer when sold at all should be sold in the regular county dispensaries. 1 favor a stringent law auralnst the unlawful sa'e of liquor. My experience of 12 years as one of the solicitors of this State has convinced me that whatever system may be adopted, that unlawful sales will be made by some. It Is, therefore, necessary that stringent lavs should be passed | to punish the "bhn^ tigers," those who sell unlawfully. Make It the duty of all sherllls, deputy sheriffs, magistrates, constables, policemen and town marshals to see i that the law against the unlawful sale 1 of liquor Is rigidly enforced in their counties, cities and towns, and it i mltrht. Via wpII tn orlvftfhpm half iif t.lio 1 lines that are collected from those convicted, through the agency of such $ ottlcers, of the olfense of unlawful ( Bales, transportation, or making of whiskey. i The county boards of control should ^ be required to make report to the presiding judge at each term of the j court of general sessions for their re- j srective counties, showing the purchases made, the amount of sales by the county dispensaries, and of all their x acts as such county board of control, N and should be liable criminally for any violation of the law, rules and regula- a tions of the dispensary law. 1 Did It Evor Occur to You? r Did you ever think to lock over a ? list of young unmarried men of your acquaintance, and see how many of j them are really able to support a wife, f and the consequent family? I am speaking more particularly of the small towns and not of the farmer, r who is a king unto himself. The re* c suit of such an investigation would probably startle you immensely. Not ' one young man in ten, based on a c very conservative estimate, is more than able to take care of himself or 1: has acquired any property whatever r or laid up a penny for the married emergency. They are depending on something to turn up that will relieve t them of any such responsibility, or believe in the old yet continually refuted adage, two can live as one. They marry some addelpated love sick i girl and trust to luck to bring them ] out of the pit that they have volun- | tarily dug for tnemselves. The re i suit is either a divorce or a contlnua" ] struggle with the gaunt wolf of pov- \ erty, while the winged dove of love < that thinks in its vouthful wisdom j that life is livable on love and kisses i flies out of the window to torment in- ( to a repetition of the error of some j other young couple. The offsprings i go to help on our criminal list. If t every >oung man oould be brought to f see that provision for a family is one t of the first prerequisites of such a r step, the world will soon be brought to that sought for mlllenium, that happy conception when every man s ' has attained the acme of greatness? v the wisdom of 40 at the age of 20. a i Jf mm inn. _ - HOLDING COTTON. I i Letter From Greenville 8ays There Are Flans Afoot r f 11 South Carolina to lOnahlo tlio ^ Karmorn to Sell Tholr Cot- t C ton at High I'rlCH. j A letter from Greenville to the Au- 8 justa Chronicle Kays for several weeks c Jhalrman Tlndal, of the Countv Cotton Association, and President Smith, 1 Df the State Association, havj been 1 discussing plans for protecting farm- * ers In the sale of their cotton this autumn, and Friday the former said ' that wlille the association was not quite ready to take any detinlte steps, he felt safe In saying that there would 1 be competition and a plenty of It In 1 the South Carolina cotton markets this season. The eutire question is to ' be brought before the conference of the directors of the Southern Cotton Association, which meets In Ashevllle ! today, and if the plans meet with j favor they will be carried into effect without any less of time, In order to arrive with the cotton itself. When chairman Tlndal was asked to give some Idea of how the assoola tion expict to accomplish its alms In ' this state, he said that he scarcely j felt at liberty to go Into particulars, though he did not mind giving an outline of how the work would be dv>ne. "In the first place," said Mr. Tlndal, "the association will have a cotton buying otlice in Columbia. This will liave general charge of the market In the entire state. Complaints will be icnt to headquarters there where they *111 receive attention. If a certain narkct is without competition, either imnmr f hn m n f ... vuu nitiuuiauuuiDii') VI Vi^ )r because of the absence of an export t myer, we will arrange to stir things lp a bit." Mr. Tindal said It must not be con- j itrued that the market bureau, If so t t might be called, was going Into the narket as a regular cotton purchasing concern. It was the business of the armors to sell their prodrct at good j jrices; not to buy it, he said. The bu eau, therefore, wuild only interfere when conditions were working against ,he interests of the producer, and ihen only. tl So far as the Southern mills were ;oncerned, and those at home in par- v Jcular, Chairman Tindal said that he wanted them to get all of the cotton p produced in the state, especially that n the upland, for he knew that it was the best to be found in the land, lie felt that the farmers could not 8 ihako away from the mills without hurting the interests of the country, t and ho believed it to be equally as true that the mills could not hurt t the farmers without seriously Injur lug tneir own nusmcss prospects. As President Smith had emphasized so often In his speeches, he believed in pulling together. These arrange- ( ments will extend all over the State when they are put in operation, and ' they can be made to be very beneficial to the farmers of every county in l the State. We shall await the action | of the hoard of directors, which meet in Ashvllle, N. 0., today, with some j interest. If they can succeed in doing i what is outlined above they will strengthen the organization very ma- , terially.

BRAINS LEAKS. {right Saying* of Will M. in the Commoner. Love may be blind, but it usually inds a way. Sincerity is the only foundation upon idilch to build true success. The world rarely thinks well of a aan who does not think well of himelf. Work Is a joy when the loved ones hare the fruits. Feet that never stumble never carry .heir owners far. A premature start often means a oo previous tlnish. A kind word now is better than a loral emblem hereafter. It is better to wear out than to rust >ut, and unwise to do either. Kvery boy is a puzzle, and it is a wise father who can guess the answer. The man who stubs his toe twice on [die same nail is foolish if he blames [,he nail. A lot of people never think of their religion until they hear the church oells ringing. A man must be awfully mean when ae can find pleasure in depriving other people of it. There is a skeleton in every closet, aut this is no exouse for a continual , rattling of the bones. Many men who would scorn to do a iishonest act in their business think t is all right to do dishenest tricks n politics. i "The word graft has been incor- | )orated into the language" says a i exioographer. And it has also been i noorporated elsewhere. Some men never think of praying < 'deliver us not into temptation" un- '* ril they have willingly rushed into it ind begin suffering the consequences. 1 It is wrong to be envious, but just 1 he same we never see a barefoot boy vith his toe tied up in a rag that ve do not envy him, sore toe, rag ,nd all. A hypocrite in the church is always g >rominent because of the contrast. \ ['he c ntrast being very much less \ ulside, the hypocrite is not so no- r iceable. a The man In the brown store palace J ciay enjoy life after a fashion, but c ie misses the satisfaction of the c lumble cottager who can sit in the ^ ront yard in his shirt sleeves and t alk over the fence with his neigh- c >or. 1 c Worne Thau Savhjcoh.

I One of the most brutal crimes ever [ ommitted in Dougherty county Ga., t st oharged to Henry Matthews, a nero, who beat to death, with an ax lelve, his 14-year old stepdaughter, /dola Sanford. The girl was required f o go to the cotton field, while in a ( titiable condition, resulting from the 1 mating she had received, and finally 1 tropped in her tracks and died before 1 he could bo moved to the house. The ( ounty physician, who examined the 1 tody, found it covered from head to * oot with cuts, bruises and abrasions * f the skin.

J., professional safe crackers wheeled the big marvln safe from the Atlantic hotel Wednesday morning and after blowing it open decamped with its contents, about $500 in cash, a gold watch and some j jwelry. The cook at the hotel i was the ilrst to discover the safe in the rear of the hotel, about two hundred yards away. She called the pro- < prletor, Simon Glaser, and a hurried Investigation was made. The safe 3rackers had used table linen and bed jlothes to deaden the noise in wheellug the safe. They afterwards used bed clothing to deaden the report, a dedge hammer was u ed to dispose of the hinges and combination. Afterward a hole was drilled in the door of the safe? Mr. Glaser and Chief of Police Jas.
