And then think of th# illiterates in Ander son county. Tty? answer ts copul .aory attendance,upon school. From some of, the scenes on the .Capitol to Capitol highway as pub lished in The Columbia State yester day, we think Col. Wat ison would do well to r.baodon it altogether for the route by Anderson. As a. matter ot fact Villa has hard ly slaughtered ; more personn than nave been killed lu Barnwell county since the dispensary waa put back there. Wa understand that there were 2? ?e~rder cases at one term of court. THIS IS iMMOhKSI Mince Senator Hoke Sm iib (of Oor ia Badly :iti<l n JIM tautly IUDS the Job if running tue government hf has had <><> much to do. We think that the . i>: h np there in Washington should ^par ? iiini Allan was the only man that 11 i< I to carry the whole works. The j,rc'Nn bureau that :*<> gallantly ral l< ia i(> fin' assistance of Senator Smitli (I'oki*) sonde rmi something like thh< fruin Washington and hy iti?* way thc writer la named Ital lill Smith: Washington, March 28.-Tho Smith-Smith colton future bill, so designated because Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, and Sena tor Ellison Smith, of South Caro lina Joined in pressing the meas ure to il? final passsge through the senate, h* regarded as ono of the most important pieces ?>f leg isi.itinn ever enabled for the heue rn of the southern people. And this is followed by an equally beautiful and laudatory spe.ial article Beni mit from AtlanU tn which it !K ?aid : Atlanta. March 30.-Prominent Atlanta business men telegraph ed to Senator Hoke Smith thin morning offering their support and cooperation in the li^ht the senator ?H leading against cotton exchange evils. The attack led hy Senator Smith on the pcrn?cloos/sjrsctlces of the New York cotton exchange la being backed up by the busi ness and political Interests of practically the whole cotton belt, ur.d no issue during the present administration has had such a solid southern democratic buck ing. The particular measure which Senator Smith is supporting ulong with tho other southern senators, is tho bill introduced by Senator Smith of South Carolina, lt was Senator Smith of Georgia who was chosen to lire tho opening gun In thc debate. Now who the douse ever heard of Hoke Smith daddying this bill? 111B presB agent is writing for Georgia con sumption. It is well known that Sen ator K. D. Smith of this state has been lighting for the passage of some kind of a bill of this kind for years and bas foughf terrific odds. ijcp could do noihing by himself, of Course, but he has done something, and something that will redound to the good of the routh. Why should he not receive the .redit for lt? Hobo Smith no doubt rendered splendid H ?rvlce, but If ho is so immodest aB lo permit the Atlanta papers to give him nil of this credit wl.'hout rebuking thom he ls no friend of E. T). Smith. We havo heard or tho Smith-Lever bill and all sorts of oth'.ir hyphenated propositions, but wo do not seo why our South Carolina congressmen should not receive what is their right. And it may have been coincidence, but tjjc Smith-Lever bill finally did pass-os the Lover bill um! the game little South Carolina congressman waa given all the praise hy his fellow members. It should be so with Senator E. D. Smith, and tho Associated Press sad other s~-^t ncwii ayencMs do give him the credit. PUBLIC SENTIMENT Our Six and Twenty correspondent CUIIB attention to conditions In this county which are deplorable If he has been properly Informed, and he is rntlier careful in lita statement. While wo believe the dispensary would make matters worse inBtead of better, let us face tho condition as represented. Officers of the law cannot be blamed If "prohiblton does, not prohibit," for the blind tigers In tilts county are of thc skulking cayote variety and not the open barrooms of Columbia and j Charleston. But with a little blt of moral sentiment to back up juries and put convicted persons on the chain gangs, blind tigers would be as scarce hero as in Western North Carolina. Blind tigers should be handled In Magistrate's courts. That is the great trouble Juli cases must be tried first -that has bi corne a law of custom, and court ends before the liquor cases are reached and they go over from session to session. Representativo J. W. Ashley had a bill to remedy this and give Magis trates more jurisdiction. It did not become a law--but lt should have dono so, and we hope lt will next yenr and a road working army be re cruited from tho liquor sollen. While wc know from observation and experience that Anderson ls one of th" most moral places in the coun try, especially so when size I consid ered, yet we will not deny our cor respondent's statement that there ls too much liquor belng sold here. The etty has no right to pdf mit blind tigers within its borders to sell liquor to negro farm labor?n.\ KDrlnk knocks them ont of work from' saturday UH about Tuesday. On the other hand wo cannot see where the dispensary would help aiy. lt would only spread the trouble more widely and make the entine negro ten ant population absolutely worthless. The city of Anderson would profit by lt. The dispensary would bring revenue and furthermore lt would bring trade for miles and miles. But this city can wall af ford. 4o do with* out that kind ot business. BY HIN OW* STA SBA KB Sometime agu wo called attention to what we considered the enormity of thc action of Abraham Lincoln in liberating a horde of Hlavca upon a defenseless population of women, children and old men, We have always thought Lincoln a much overrated mau who KO! into of fice hy chance, a? thc popular vote in I860 wa? much against him-Lincoln, 1 ,S?t?,4t;L'; Douglas. 1 .?75,157 : Breck enridge, 847,953; Bell, 590,963; total 4.680.626. But Lincoln's emancipation procla mation was far different in Intent and it) tone from his npeech ut Charleston, III?. In !S5?. when he said: "I will say that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them lo hold office, nor to Inter-marry with white, people; and I will say in addi lion to this thai there is a physical difference Itel uren thc white und the black race rv h ir li I heVevo ?ill for ever forbid the two races living to. nether on terms of social or political equality* * * *.. 1, as much as any oilier man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white raco." And on the lat of January 1863 he set the negroes free, stating In a long preamble that this was donc "as u tit and necessary ivar measure for sup* pressing the rebellion." Therefore measuring Lincoln hy his own standard, he was not much of a man. NO VICARIOUS SACRIFICE. It appear that John Gary Evans Is unwilling to make a vicarious sacrifice of himself Ju. t for the sake of helping to defeat another candidate. Some timn nun lt vtan iirjrnH Hint lt mam nni-. essary to have a three-cornered race in order to keep Blease from mixing up in the gubernatorial campaign. It was Bald that in either event, defeat or election to Hie senate hi the tlrst pri mary, Blease would be foot loose tu put his man over in the governor's race. This was one of the reasons urged why Governor Evans should run and cause a second race for thc sen ate between himself and Blease or between Smith and Blease, for lt was figured that with any combination Blease would have enough votes to get' into the second race. It speaks well for Gov. Evana that he will not go into a race Just to cause political "hot times" in the state, but there are many good mon who wanted a chance to vote for bim just once, THE PESSIMIST. Nothing to do .but work Nothing to eat but food, Nothing to wear but clothes, To keep one from going nude. Nothing to breathe but air, Quick as a flash 'tis gone; Nowhere to fall but off Nowhere to stand but on. Nothing to comb but hair, Nowhere to sleep but in bed Nothing to weep but tears, Nolhin? to bury but dead. ? Nothing to sin? but songs, Ah, well, alas! alack! Nowhere to go but out, Nowhere to come but back. Nothing to sec but sights, Nothing to quench but thirst, Nothing to have but what we've got; Thus thro' life we're cursed. Nothing to strike but a gait, Everything moves that goes * Nothing at all but common sense Can ever withstand these woes. -By Ben King. ,' In The Comara. THE 80L1CIT0RSHIP. Editor The Intelligencer: 1 have received several communica tions -recently in reference to the oo licitorship of your circuit, and this morning, In reply to one of these com munications I wrote a letter from which the following excerpt is sent you: "Your letter of arch 27 received.
