T »b uEDUt <l*v ana ^ r 'd J. Brian Bell, New* Editor WE ARE GAINING GROUND. We cllnped these two paraKraphs from the Orangebun? Times Jnd He- mociat: It is perfectly safe for ladies and children to attend a campaign meet- inr in the dispensary cotint / of Or angeburg. but we would not advise ( hem to do so in the so-called nrohibl- ion county of Cherokee, if Saturday s meeting is a fair sample. . As will be seen by an article on the first page blind tiger whiskey got in it.i work in Cherokee county on Satur- <ia v Yet some good people in that county delude themselves with the belief that they are having prohibi tion. It appears that it is utterly impos sible for our friends who advocate the dispensary to be fair. The Times and Democrat knows that meeting not a “fair sample” for Chero kee. Then it calls this blind tiger liquor. Why Lord bless your soul man. it wasn’t blind tiger at all, and the article you printed didn’t s.av it •was blind tiger. There is no law in this county against a man drinking whiskey, but there is one against selling it. Any man who is disposed to do so can send oft and get as much as four gallons and three quarts at one time, but he can’t sell it unless he violates the law. The owner of this liquor hauled it to the meeting In a white jug. and. w'e are told, gave it away to his friends openly and above board, without money and ■without price. There was no secrecy about it. Any man in this county or any other county in the State—in Orangeburg, for instance—can do the eame thing and there will be no viola tion of the whiskey law. It is only when they become brutes and dis grace themselves and the,i communi ty by their misconduct that they be come violators. dust suppose this thing had occur red in Orangeburg? Wouldn’t we have had a great opportunity to blow off some hot air against the dispen- eary? But we couldn’t have truth fully said that the law was being violated. This question naturally arises; Of what effect voting out the dispen sary, then, if one can buy all one wants to buy? The answer is plain. There are not so many people who will go to the trouble and expense of sending off for whiskey as there are people who would buy whiskey If it was handy, therefore the consump tion is lessened and the community is the better for it. The Ledger makes no claims for absolute prohibition, but we do know that conditions in this county are better than they were under the dis pensary and we do not believe the people of this county would return to the old system. We are pursuaded to believe that the cause of temper ance is gaining ground in this coun ty. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Mrs C. . Owen and Miss Mary •e. or i olumbln. are the guests of Mrs. It. Q, Anthony.

The press, not only of North Carolina, but of the other ad joining States heap all brands of con- iemnation on its shoulders. These same shoulders will doubtless bear up under the burden hut it will surely be a strain. * • • The candidates continue to "roam” across the country. The word roam In reference to candidates is borrow ed from a neighboring editor who aptly uses It in this connection. The Cherokee candidates are being well received and accorded respectful hearings at all points visited. Hap pily no personal fights have been brought into the political matters. • • • The incident in regard to railroad rates which arose lu Gaffney between Wharton and Summersett, was re vived In Spartanburg. t The discussion In Spartanburg was between Col. Wharton and the Spartanburg Herald as to whether this incident was a wager or not. Col. W’harton calls it a gentleman’s argument while the Herald refers to It as a bet.
