Tho Democratic party in the United Stales for a hundred years has been supported by the whiskey men 1 'readi er.*, teachers, hunkers, lawyers, land* lords, laborers nnd bar-ki cpors voted tho democratic ticket. Then fore an unholy alliance _ existed botwion preachers ai d liquor. "That which you liax o not lo?t you hav? : h?rnt? you have not lost, therefore "you have hcres?" Proposition 1 tiiat tho democratic party has 1 et n the whiskey party, mind you, docs not Imply that it has not been tho party of honesty, of economical coverniuent, of low taxes, of homo rule, of a low turilT, o' equal rights for all and special privileges for rone. The millions of democrats who do not belong to the party of bypoorltcB, puritans, phari* slos should have deserted the party of Jelforson, Jackson und joined tho party of old John brown and the millions murderers, because for BOOth n few voted the democratic ticket. After tho scrap and allowing reason bio cooling t Into our ollleicnl pol ice men presented tho city's modest little bill of $?.()() to the scrappers. Ruch uxpeet idg child enforcer ol t be peace, squared the amount without ado. A candidate expressed surprise that our little olty was in such splendid condition with such a moderate tax for public exbibi tions. Another said that it should have boon allow ed a free light on an occasion of hospitality. Another that as no knives were "drawcd or little pistols an occurrence so unusual in tho state, tho polite policeman should have publicly commendod the Boxers. Another that he was surprised U light w as out of or der in Laurens. Another thai the pub lic travelling this way would know bow to prepare their change and so there was much goodnaturod badinage. Who constitute 'the old barroom element?" Sewn years ago the bar rooms were closed and sine.,; then the. former bar-keepers have been Scat tered to tin four winds of the earth. Homo aro dead, some are well ostub lisle il in other business and some have job.* connected with the dyspensary system.

Mr. EDITOR: A very good way to get at facts is by comparison. Take one thing and contrast it with another thing, array one, line of figures against another line. This is what wo intend to do in this artiole. Laurens county stands third on ihc li t < f all the coun ties in South Carolina in raising the most tux motor, Spart inburg and Charleston 1 olttg the two higl est. We will use counties bordering on I au reus In the comparison. Abbeville has about the same area and popula tion and three representatives as Lau reus and It looks like our county af fairs ought to In; run as cheap as theirs. Is this so? No! Abbeville has a tax rate of 8? mills which rahes $1:1,700, against Laurens 0 mills r.nd $.'58,:i8<>. AllMKVIM.K.

Being a new county we would expect a largo tax levy. Newbcrry county, A mills and $ 18,fK)0. Anderson county, with larger popu lation than Lntircns i mills tax. Gro nvillo county with nearly dou ble tho population, 6i mill*, $36,680 ? You eioti't pretend to say that Abbe ville county < XpenSOS for the present year arc 1 .id out one-third the amount Of Laurens. Yes, this s exactly what the Comptroller General of South Carolina in his report of 1000 tells i s How do you then account for the superior llnancial condition of the neighboring counties Only one way that I sco can I be answered. They rnu-t have a belter class of county of ficials Men that woi k hard to lessen taxes and build up their counties as Well as put in some work f< r scl'. Laurens has as gootl and truo men, as any if the counties nnd we need them badly right now to lake hold and help remove this grout tax burden off of our fiecplc. Tho IntOQilon Of this article 8 t<> put our voters to thinking, and to work out SOOIU plan to put our best men In office, sober und compotent, men that will he an honor to the coun ty and state.

This looks like turning the nun mill into a money machine. Ii I lie State is going to make money out of tho Dispen sary I/iw why is she doing a Illing that she will not allow her people to do.
