BALL, Proprietor. LAUBEN 8, S. C, May 80, 1898. What is chiefly to bo feared in the Dispensary is its success as a money-making scheme. The State of South Carolina condescends 'to meddle in so depraved a traffic as whiskey selling on the ground that it requires "police regulation," but when the rovenue roaches the point of paying fifty por cent, of tho State taxes that speclom ox cuse will quietly be put aside. Then we shall have the Stato grow ing rich out of a nefarious and can cerous business and hugging the unclean thing to Itself while tho public conscience is gradually dwarfed until It dare not assert It self. Thousands of good men will thon be quick to hail the dispen sary as an agent of benevolence, and it will gain such a hold as only that with which tho Old Man of the Sea grasped Sinbad or tho Louisiana Lottery obtained on thai unhappy Commonwoulth. If af terwards the enlightened and ag gressive sentiment for good of the whole nation comes to tho rescue we shall have somethiug to be thankful for. It was lb".'., which saved Louisiana. It is pitiable that our legislators have hastily put on us a fair-seeming system which threatens to plunge our whole peo ple Into a sea of turpitude and moral degradation. The Laurens freehold voter plumes himself upon his old fnsh ionod Jeffersonian democracy. Ho is rarely a prohibition ist. He don't beliove in what is called paternal ism in tho State and thinks the whisky business if legitimate ought iiot to bo a monopoly cf tho politi cal machine. All legitimate busi ness should bo open and free to all citizens, controlled by wholesome restraints. That is the kind of talk of tho average freehold voter, when ho turns up his nose at a dis pensary petition. Ho is not every time a prohibitionist?not neces sarily. Mint patches aro cultivated all around. These old fashioned democrats can oven comprehend tho nomenclature of the approved mix (urns that are dispouscd as cooling beverages in tho palatial establishments to be found in towns and cities. Tho attack on their old fashioned democratic ideas of a free-tor-all dispensary excites their recalcitrating bumps and they kick accordingly. South Carolina like fat Jack Fal staff, is not only good humored and full of fun, but tho cause of wit being in other people. Tho good natured gibes of our contempora ries at tho little state and our Gov ernor about the dispensary law aro entirely refreshing. It will be for tunate if these little pleasantries can be kept up all summer; for tho sjgns impend dry timoa in those comoiuiittcB where no dispensa ries araro be established. Laurens is like/ to be in the arid streak. e of the Conservative papers are proclaiming that those who were Haskellites must not nsk front seats in the Democracy. Tho "Haskellites" declaro that they merely wish to be regarded like other democrats. That is their clear right. The Advertiser was opposed to Judge Ha8kcll in '90 but it sup ported Mr. Mclver for State Treas urer last year as cordially as it supported any man on the Shep pard ticket. We believe that the Haskell movement was a blunder but wo have never doubted that those who participated in it were staunch democrats. They aro staunch dem ocrats to-day.and there Is nothing in their politlcaNfalth that will sus tain the charge of heresy when they are tried by tho standards of the Chicago' Convention. The Same cannot be said of others in South Carolina, who vote for Cleve land and teach Tom Watscnlsm on the street corners. <(11 -shellism" is a dead issue and it should nevor be alluded to by self respecting papers which desiro peace. Democrats of tho Qresham stamp are good enough for us but we wore fighting him whon wo fought Has kell. Yet, under like conditions, we should bo found fighting both men as beforo. Wonld it not bo a grateful and refreshing sight if next year a con vention of South Carolinians, none of whom had ever asked or hold of fice, would meet and nomlnato a ticket of domocrats of tholr own stamp, plain, honest citizens, who know and love no art hotter than that of successfully attending to their ownxbusiness? Wo should hail with ploasuro not only a now deal but fresh cards. Mr. Af. Ii. Donaldson appears un willing to acknowledge the fact of his political demise. Ho has writ ten to tho Piedmont Headlight an swering* some criticism of that pa per. Wo would gently remind Mr. Donaldson that tho Governor hav ing frowned ho Is blighted. SPLASHES OF PRINTER'S INK. Editorial Stuft' From Roiuo of the Advertiser's Fellows. That pattern of 3obriety and good sense, tho Spartanburg Spar tan, uttereth this spoecb: ''The main object of tho adminis tration Is to sell quantities of whis key so as to increase tho revenue. Tho Qovernor estimates that one million gallons will besohl tho first year. That sort of business will lay tho saloons In Ihe shade." ? "** For one the Advertiser do3s not dispute tho claims of the Alken Times and the Anderson Advocate that to tho "Reformers" belongs the credit of having delivered over a seat in Congress to tho nogro re publican, Murray. Says the Times: "Tho People's Advocate, hits tho nail, on tho head regarding the friendship for tho colored race as professed by the antis and as prac ticed by tho Reformers. In sup port of its incontrovertible asser tions, that paper cites tho seating of tho negro Republican Congress man from the Seventh District by tho Reform Democrats last winter, while tho old reglmo had continu ously kept ono of its own party in tho office which, by rights, belongs only to a republican. Facts aro more convincing than fancy and flattery." *** The Advertiser will not bo surprised when tho wholo Stato gets on au official drunk and ex cuses tho act. as a "roform meas ure." Tho Orangeburg Enterprise wants the Dispensary to havo a "/air trial" and wo hope it will bo by a reasonably sober jury: "If tho experiment, fuirly tested, proves a failure the pe?plo will be satisfied, and will punish properly tho men who advocated It; but if it proves a success they will also be satisfied, and will reward the men who suggested it, worked for it, and enacted it into law. No unfair test, however, will bo ac cepted as a conclusion of tho whole matter. The trial must be fair and honorable." *** The editorials of the Orangoburg Times and Democrat aro strictly matter of fact. Editor Sims Is sol-#| dorn self-opinlonatlve. "Ex-Gov. D. H.Chamberlain says tho way to stop tho lynching of negroes in the South is for the ne groes to stop raping white women. This Is tho only practicablo solu tion of the difficulty that wo havo yot seen suggested." *** Tho Prosperity Reporter may have neglected numerous opportu nities to find out that the propor tion of "club" mon to Anti-Tillman Ites in this Stato is loss thau five hundred to thirty odd thousand and so it omits the following grunt: 'Tho ant) element, which is re sponsible for the club barrooms in this Stale and polled a majority against Prohibition in the few counties that it controlled, in fight ing tho dispensary law. The dis pensary law knocks out tho club barrooms, and that is whoro the shoe pinches. The Supremo Court in the Chester caso sustuined the constitutionality of tho law, so thoy will havo to submit to tho dispen sary whether they like it or not. Tho time to fight this law was be fore Its enactment. Now that it has become a law of our State, all good citizens will cease criticising and aid in giving it a fair trial. *** The Advertiser sympathizes profoundly with the evident fatigue which the Aiken Journal and Re view feels. Tho Journal and Re view needs something to cheer it self up, and should step out and take it at once. "Tho thinking masses of tho whole country view with extreme solicitude the threatened Butler Tillmnn Senatorial campaign in South Carolina in 1891. At home any man not stricken by hopeless obliquity of vision must already see that the effect of such a con test upon the material interests, tho moral sentiment and tho social status of tho Stato must bo super latively paralyzing, degrading and deplorable. It is further to be as sumed that tho successful candi date in auch a scramble would have no more Influence on public affairs ut tho national capital than if ho wore a wooden puppot manip ulated by a string. Ho could do nothing more effective than hia election would imply that he should do, and that would be to prod thq wounds of tho defeated faction at homo and to keep astir a novor dying Qame of hatred among tho people of South Carolina." *** Tho Sumter Froeman, though some w Hut Jefforaonlan to and through the core, occasionally wor ships at tho shrine of paternalism. It says: "Tho Supremo Court has sus tained the Dispensary act. So good-byo barrooms, except thoso run by the StatoQovornmont, after July 1st. Wo must say wo think the chango promises to bo a great good ono." **? Tho Spartan tolls us that "l,aureus Is getting out of tho tadpole stage. Tho tail has dropped off and it Is just plain "Laurens" in tho post office department and Is no longer "Laurens O. H." A Better Way. Moat all of us would liko an oc casional liver medicine.

When a South Carolinian rends the newspapers of Georgia ho must concludo that the secrot of that State's.prosperity lies in tho ever lasting good humor of her people. Sacrotary Herbert Is spoken of for vice-president to succeed Ste venson,?but the Secretary should not bo asked to play second fiddle to any man. A. great many papers aro harshly criticising Ooyornor Ponnoyer of Washington. We have reason to beliovo that wo could bo very happy under a Pennoyer administration. Whore is tho sub-treasury schemo? Is it in Col. Donaldson's pocket? Is Editor Howden in charge of It? Or has tho poor thing died for tho want of puffing? While Tillman is being consid ered for a third term let us suggest that ho go over to Georgia and run for Governor of that State. Georgia would recclvo him with open arms, it would bo a filling climax to his career, it would restore harmony in thoso parts, and ohf how he would shlno as a Georgian!
