Mnrto:: Some Sections Benefited While Others Detremented by Removal of Dispensary. Mr. Ediitor: — 1 noticed in The Ledger of July the 27th a communication by Mr. N. G. Littlejohn, and again in the issue of the 31st your editorial relative to the above communication. As I under stood Mr. Littlejohn’s letter, he made the assertion that he considered the results of liquor sold under the dis pensary system, if properly managed, preferable t- the present results as seen in his section of the county. I presume this opinion was based on the observation of certain territorv As I have had occasion to see condi tions somewhat as this gentleman de scribes. and hardly think your edito rial covered the grounds. I would like to ask; Is it not possible that one. while preflering prohibition to the dispensary and having voted “No Dispensary,” might see In his section of the county more of the results of whiskey drinking now than before the dispensary was voted out. Formerly the “booze fighter” from down here, on the occasion of being in your city, and frequently he made the occasion, would take his friend around and tank un good and proper before starting home. Then as often would they become so vivacious ere they reached the Incorporate limits that i night in the “coop” was necessary to cool their ardor down and put. them in a condition to go on their wav home without a guardian. By vote we abolish the dispensary and vour town is no longer the grand distributing point. The source of supply, on the other hand, is moved to various points along the borders of neighboring States. Then, with aji accommodating dealer, delivering promptly to the nearest little station my .amount of liquor one desires, and the daily mail refor^i to by Mr. Lit tlejohn to facilitate matters, there are many who do not c are a snan- whether Hie dispensary keeps or not. They have adapted themselves to the changed order of things and are well satisfied indeed. “Booze-fighter” No. 1, up on the hill, tells “booze-fighter” No. 2, across the hollow, about his last shipment and gives him a little swig by wav of emphasis and as a reminder that one jug won’t last al ways, and so the word is passed along and little blub orders for as much as four gallons, and three quarts are fired across the line today and to morrow the express agent has the goods. We do not doubt. Mr. Editor, that you and the citizens of your town are seeing less of drunkenness and are much encouraged in the whole. We are not so unreasonable as to blame you and the voters of “No Dispensary” for the present condi tions. but let’s “call a spade a spade.” Let’s tell the man. whom we meet over in North Carolina or Georgia, and who wants to know about, this matte/*, that in sections it is dry. very dry. while in other pl»i ,( ‘ s if he ^ cares to cultivate the friendship.'.he can drink with his new made friends and see the drink- Mowing rather free ly till yet. And when the follow who has watched for the turning point for the better, gets tired of watching and can see no improvement, thinks, in fact, it is worse and falls to deploring conditions or wanting something better, don't pat him on the head with a “Tut, tut. my boy, don’t get excited now. Everything is alright. Haven’t we got prohibition and the dispensary dead?” And if still he is a little restless like, don’t tell him it is sure enough prohibition, for he knows better, and don’t tell him to coma and tell you when he happens to see a tiger track because he’s not afraid to to" about it himself and besides H-ts don’t amount to much when you could ship them all out in the empty jugs in a week’s time. And don’t ask tbr next door neighbor when he saw a /hunk man and accept the answer as* final. He m.av make a mistake, yon know. (All of us do sometimes ) Inst -ad tel] him something consol ing. Show him how things are gen- erall/ Improved. Admit that locally they ; iv he the same or a little worse, and when ne gets hold <>f the idea tha*. we *r: on th upward grade and .se t -h thai Ciui(Y"ions ar*> better throughout the county, he will join right in with you and all will be peace ful .’iid ’farmonious.

Soon a veritable scrip book ^ d’dngs is going the rounds of the press. Now, imagine the correspondent of the Record with a bundle of these papers in his pocket, and happening upon a quantity of liquor, ordered on the morning train, received on the evening train; all from just across the line, all acording to law and no one culpable. 1 fancy that this din over the dead body of the G. M. I. is considerably increased because it’s sire is so very much alive. I have before me copies of The State. On turning to the edi torial columns there are paragraphs denouncing the .dispensary, alter nated with others menancing Senator Tillman, and besmeared with it all is the venom of personal hatred. If this stuff were classified and not admin istered so much after the “shake well before using” fashion, it would he easier reading for the common man. Turning to a recent issue of that paper we find the front nage decorat ed . with a gruesome machine. The State of South Carolina—a fai- dam sel—is being crushed and mangled between two massive mill stones, the upper of which is drunkenness and debauch ry and the other one Igno rance and blighted intellect. Yea. in deed, a dumb horror steals over the reader. A promising invitation this, 1 Mr. Editor, to immigration; a tempt- l ing appeal to outside capital, invest, ment and prosperity. The reader looks but on the already prosperous country of ours, peopled with strong men’and fair women- the thousands hi’ls of our iPedmont sect ion dotted with churches, schools and colleges. “How can these things be?” he ask himself. “Where does the .iok(* com.-* in?” I ask you, Mr. Editor. Is there in the land no combatant who will Ko out and put down the tyrant? Dark things ha\o> been hinted of insurance companies and men in posi tions of honor and trust. Some have gone behind the bars; others have fled the continent. The dalntv mor- s Is of food, universally used, are no longer savAry. The lard bucket hangs under the wagon shed. Henceforth iis contents will be used to counteract the friction of turning wheels, and the Adam’s apple will make a screalj- ing noise as It goes up and down The shoal in the pen enjoys such a feast as never before, and the wrap pers on the canned goods turn pale with age. till, fearful lest the yard dog should be contaminated thereby, they are carried far awav and buried deep in the ground. No. no. We catch on to things sometimes, Mr. Editor, and we re member things, too. The renetltion of the State reflects little credit u on the Intellects of its readers or up on itself. Hera. now. for years it has been hammering awav try"" 1 ' to set aright an erring people. *>.i the oth er hand we have, according to that 1 sheet, “the hero of ona gallus; a simple, poverty-stricken farmer who had experienced the denressiiu” i weight of mortgages, and was en- j deavoring to lead a poverty-stricken I State with her poverty-stricken peo ple out of the wilderness, his guides i being r< trenchment and reform.” And to quote again, “What Bon Till- I man says and does is all the ammu nition his oponents need to puncture him full of holes. Why, then, has The Stat,-* permitted this menace to public safety to run at large so long? Verily, verily, must the majority of South Carolina voters he fools, un worthy the State’s instruction or those vaporings naught but the resqlt of noise and odor—an effusion of virus which if condensed a little would put tho serpent tribe out of business for all time to come. And there are not a few still who think that there Is j some very flue stuff in Seator Ben R. ; Tillman. Yours for enlightenment, always, “Rastus.” WHITE MAN KILLS A NEGRO. Minq ft Armstrong Shot to Death by W. J. Whitner in York County. Yorkville, Aug. 2.—Mr. W. J. Whit ner. superintendent of Gleen and Al- 1 lison’s at Fishing creel:-, killed Minge Armstrong, colored, tins morning.
