If the Columbia Record’s “concrete illustrations’’ were a little less ab stract it would '»blige some of its readers. If It would name some of those “prominent South Carolinians” who keep telling its Washington cor-, respondent good things about thf. dis- S ensary, the weight of their testi- lony would doubtless be of great val ue to the instifcu+t >n, causing many prohibitionists to tl<*ck to its support. Then there is that “observant Co lumbian. whose business takes him all over the State and especially into rural communities” and has found that farm labor “utterly demoral ized” in counties *'here the dispen sary has been voted out. and “sincere prohibitionists had become disgust ed with the practical workings of prohibition.” Perhaps “the Columbi an” would not ih'ect to having his name made know i, since “he did not obtain this opinio*, trom a few chance expressions In ore- or two localities, but it was the siucensus of opinion everywhere” and almost with one accord the farmers asserted that the substitution of prohibition for the dispensary bad iemoralized their la bor.” The “obstervair. Columbian.’' who la so much concerned about the dis astrous results >f making it difficult for farm labor to get whiskey, would perhaps be willing to give the names of a dozen or two of the farmers In each of the proh'l it ion counties who voted against th - dispensary and change of heart, 'he interest of have experience*) This would be ic the “concrete.” And now it ia DeCamp, Parrott Grist and others t, did not find out sion of sentl men 1 > to the brethren.

We are in favor of the water wagon, but we are nob in favor of the man who elects himself the only man capable of driving. Mr. Joel Brunson is a very nice fellow, but we want to see a bigger man than he as governor of South Carolina. * * * The Mecklenburg Declaration of In- d^nendence celebration started yes terday in the Queen City.
