VOL XXXIV PICKENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26 1905. NO.S Dispensary or Prohibition? Mr. Editor: In 1892 I wO elected to the legislature the fir' time, nd in the primary elootlo of that year the question of pro hibition was submitted to the pe< plO, and the majority of the vot< oust in the State showed that pet ple were in favor of prohibition When the General Assembly me in Novembe-r after that electin tho logislature passed a prohibi tion bili such as the prohibition ists of the house thought the peo ple wanted, and sent it to (he Sen ate for their consideration. The Senate held that bill until a few days before the adjournmenti of the body, and sent to the houtn the dispensary law as a sul.stitute, The prohibitionists of the house supported the bill, as it was a long stride towards prohibition com pared to the bar room then in force, and knowing that we bad te accept it or nothing would bo (lone along that linn. By a careful examination of the dispensary law from its inception vou will find thatAi vdnt'' c&ttet and more far-reagril the 29th. placed around t1\ h * . e y law in the beginning taz\' ,there is to day. In the beginnmng it did pro hibit the use of whiskey to a great extent, but the law has been changed from time to time until it is plain to my mind that it is run now for the money thore is in it, and not enough attention given to the morals of our country. I can see how a Chrittian mian can vote for the dispensary law as against the bar room, but I cannot see how thoy Cani Voto for it as against prohibition. When I think of it, it rominds me of a little incident that I saw in a paper not long since. A pai ty of young people went to explore a coal mine. One of the young women appeared dressed in a dam ty white gown. When her friends remonstrated with her, she ap. pealed to the old miner who was to act as guide to the party. ;Can't I wear a wvhite dress down into the mine?" she asked, petuantly. "Yes'm," returned the old man, "there's nothing to keep you from wearing a white frock down there, but there'll be considerable to keep you from wearing on back." Jnst so with the Christian, they can wear their white flowing Chs tian robe to the election, but. if they vote for the dispensary and against prohibition ''there'll be cosdral' to keajp them from wearing it away. The cry is raised even by pro fessing Christians that we can pass a prohibition law, but1 t won't pro hibit, Granted; and it never will with the National law that we have, but is it not our duty to p)usl) evil just as far from u8 as we oani That it will lessen the use of whis key we feel that no one will deny. Mr. Editor: Don't you rememm her wvhen we hadv bar rooms in Eaeley, and that at times the he dies would not appear on the sidl4 walks lest they might he insulted by Borne drunken sot? They were a nuisance, and became so offen. sivo to the goodl people of Easley and the whole county that they rose in their might and had then put away by an act of the legIsla ture. The cry was then raisod 4 that prohibition would not pro hibit. I 1,ut my eyes on onie mna who drank whiskey to an excess t< see what effect it would1 have oi' * him. In his caso it did niot en tirely prohibit, but lhe dIrank Sreat deal less than he did whc'ni as sold1 at his market towvn. From experience and tcbseiva tion I have arrived at the conclu 81ion that it is the duty of all thos -who would work to better th~ morale of our country and butte mankind generally, to push thi ,traffic of intoxicating liquors jus as far from us as we can. Let each one of us rememnbc: that there is a sin of omission a well as commission, and when th time comes to vote out the dispen eary, let us go to the 1)o118 and cas our votes to the best intorest U onr country and the cause 0 Chhktn ~d not try to throw th ~po~nIblity upon some one else 8 n D N TRIED TO KILL HIS FATHER. t Sam Smith of Brushy Creek Tdwnship A in Bad Scrape-Placed Under la Heavy Bond. c Samuel Smith, a young white man who lives in Brushy Creek township, ha a gotten himself into juSt about as bad a scrape as any one man ever got into. He is under bond for his appearance at the next termi of court to answer to the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. 1 The alleged offense consisted of firing at his father several times with a shot gun, and then chasing him part of the way across the township. Young Smith had a falling out one day last week with his father, Mr. Ashley Smith, who is one of the 'j most r'espected citizens of Brushy Crt ek township. Young Smith be. came very angry at his father and finally got a shot gun and tired at him several times, reloading the gun after both barrels had been ex hausted Tfhe father ran and the ,sou pursued him, for two miles, it is said, to Wyatt's store. 'Th1e elder Smith ran into the store and the son; started to followv him but was pro.! vented by some people in the store. The son then left, after saying lieD would kill any man who at'tempted ~ to arrest him. The man roamed about the coun try for several days, and the people of that section were very uneasy, fearing lhe would meet his father and do0 violence to him. N'obody seemed anxious to serve the warrant wvhich ~ hatd been issd for hinm, as he is regarded as a very dangeroua man. Deputy Sheriff Scott was telc phioned for, and went to the scene Tuiesday and commenced a search r Several oilier parties were also search r ing at the sanme time, aud Smith was t founid Truesd y niight in a house in ( the neighborhood by Magistrate Sit torn. T1he magistrate detained him 3 until Deputy Scott arrivedl, and tjat ( ohlicer mzade the formal arrest. ( Wecdnesday morning young Smith u gave bond for his appearance at the 1 next term of court. The magistrate 3 fixed the amount of the bon.i at $1,. -000, and the bond was eigned by Mr. t Iharrison Hendrix anid his wife f Young Smith had the Brus~hy r Creek section pretty badly stirred up e for several days, and there is general relief that he has been arrested and 3 ulaend amder hnot which. it is [eath=Bi ry Goods, Millinery, otions, Clothing, Hats, Shoes, 'ought, will insure his good be bavicr for. a while.
