Iioyt, the nominee of the Prohibition convention, in the platform which he wrote and which was adopted by the con- c< vention last month, that Neil jr Dow, the great Prohibition leader of the State of Maine, said that the people of Maine saved by Prohibition over $24,000,000 a ^ year, and that at that time, after ; they had had Prohibition for al 81 most balf a century, they sold ct clandestinely about $1,000,000 al Whereas, under the dispensary a. . law only $1,788,425.80 was sold w lawfully last year in South Garo ** lina. Think of it! A Prohibition ni State for 40 years selling $ 1,000, ^ 000 worth of liquor a year. F Therefore we have more Prohibi re tion in South Carolina, under the F dispensary law, than they have p< in Maine, with a law against the sale of liquor. i ne attorney generals report 0j shows that (luring the year 1898 there were over 1,600 indict- ttl merits for the violation of the j) law in Maine. If there were over 1,600 indictments, how many violations of the law were there that never came to light? Col. Iloyt says in effect: "Let w us all, all opponents ot the (lis- c< pensary, go together as tar as we * can, and when we have gone far 81 enough to destroy the great whis- 1' key machine, which is the chief (?( impediment to Prohibition, then ^ let us agree,as we can,upon a plan e| which will give Prohibition a n major part of the territory wrest ed from the common enemy." Now what do you think of t? this, you who are Prohibitionists a from principle? Here is the can a lidate of the Prohibition party ^ favoring a return to the saloon a system in some counties and Pro p hibition in others. What is it all p for? The man who does it simply wants office. Columbia, Charleston, Greenville, and Spartanburg J*' may wish the license system, and that would be a winning card to e play. ? Cold Nteel or Death. J % ^ "There is but one smalt chance to b save your life and that is through an ' operation," was the awful prospect I set before Mrs. I. II. Hunt, of Fame b Midge, Wis., by her doctor after vain- K ly trying to cure her of a frightful d case or stomacti trouble and yellow w jaundice. He didn't, count on the mar- 0 velous power of Electric Bitters, to cure Stomach and Liver troubles, hut she heard' of it, took seven bottles, v was wholly cured, avoided surgeon's i. knife, now weighs more and feels bet?er than ever It's positively guaranteed to cure Stomach, Liver and Kid- y ney troubles and never disappoints.
