BRICE ATTACKS
THE DISPENSARY.
York's Senator A gainst the
Institution.
POSITIVE STAND.
Experiences of the Town
of Yorkville.
Nr. Brlce Thinks That System will
Yet Bring Shame on the
State.
The articlo bolow'wns written to tho
News and Courior by its Yorkville cor
respondent:
Tne friends of Senator J. S. Brlce
have long been aware of tho fact that,
although he had never announced his
views on the dispensary law from the
housetop, he was not favorable
to the law. During the recent con
test in Greenwood between the friends
of law, order and decency on the one
haud, and thoso who wanted a State
rum mill established there on tho oth
er, the editor of the Greenwood Jour
nal requested a citizen of Yorkville to
give some faots relative to tho exper
ience of t his town before and s'uee the
establishment of the State rum mill,
which the citizen did. it is said that
the communication from Yorkville im
pressed the people of Greenwood as be
ing a fair statement of the ease and
strengthened the ranks of the anti-rum
mill people.
Immediately after the article wbb
published Ex-Ropresentative McGHI,
of Greenwood, who Is said to bo an
ardent dlspensaryito, wrote Senator
Brice a letter, asking him to refute the
statements from Yorkville relative to
conditions before and since our looal
mill commenced to grind.Sonntor Brice
mentioned the fact that he had re
ceived such a letter from Mr. McGill
In the presence of your correspondent,
and. remarked that he could not refute
the statements from Yorkville, and
that what he would write would be of
no valuo to McGlll's side. The editor
of the Journal was advised as to the
situation and, after waiting quite a
while and in vain for McGill to turn
loose his thunder, wrote Senator Brlce
?for a copy of his letter to McGill. On
last Saturday an extra was issued by
the Journal, which contain* d tl.e fol
lowing reply from Mr. Brice :
"Your It t*er received and in reply I
would say I am unable to furnish you
with a copy of my lottor to Mr.-. Iu
substance I advised Mr.-to vote
against the establishment of a dispen
sary in Greenwood; that the Yorkvlllo
dispensary had not increased business,
probably injured it, as a great many
dollars merchants formerly received
were now left at the dispensary for
whiskey; that the dispensary here had
increased the sale and drinking of
whiskey enormously; that It was de
bauching a great many young men in
the community; that soveral citizens
who voted for it were now ready to
vote against it; that while It was
bringing the town and county a reve
nue of some $300 each per month, it
had not reduced municipal or county
taxes and probably never would; that
whilo I thought It had stopped the illi
cit sale of liquor to a large oxtent, it
was claimed that blind tigers still flour
ished at night and on Sundays, their
source of supply being tho dieponsary,
etc.
'?Ana now, Mr. Edl'or, permit me to
say, to tho citizens of Greenwood that,
In my judgmen*, they will find tbo dis
pensary an intolerable nuisance. So
briety cannot be legislated into an in
dividual or a community, but nuisances
can be prevented and abated by legis
lative enaotment.
"The legal restrictions and so-called
safeguards thrown around the dispen
sary, its entrenchment behind law, the
supreme legal effort to make tho sale
of I.'quor respoctable, (dress'ng the de
vil up for the purpose of deception),
these features are more dangerous, de
ceptive and even attractive to the
young scd unwary than the cut glasses,
the pictures and music of tho old bar
room system.
?Thave reached tho conclusion that
the dispensary system will soon bring
shame and disgrace on this Common
wealth.

Music.
Music! O, sweet music!
Most wonderful charm of earth,
Whore's tho being so great indeod,
That ho has given you birth?
Who is tho being, and from whence
cometh he,
With such unlimited power,
That kings and queen?, by your swoet
strains,
Are made to stand and cower?
Music! O, swoet melody!
With all thy strains and chords,
Thoua!ono canst move brutes' tears,
And check the cause of lords.
Thou alone, with thy soft sweet sounds,
Can'st stop a bird on wing,
And make him liston attentively,
To the song that thou dost sing.
Mu iol.Thou divine art,
Coming straight from heaven above.
Out of tho depths of God's own heart,
Pull of music and of love?
The concord of sweet sounds,
That makes the Heavenly Courts ring,
Is the same that, here below,
Causes men and birds to sing.
O, music! most sacred shrine!
And charm of everywhere,
Thou alone can'st, here below,
Sooth sorrow and quiet fear,
Thou alone art sound itself,
So melodious and sweet,
That without music, heaven nor earth,
Could never be complete.

Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your
favor of the 21th instant requesting me

blanks for that purpose. Tho claims
must bo established by affidavits. Some
c'aimants may have only two or three
affidavits and some may havo quite a
number.
You will notice that each claimant
must provo four things: 1st, that ho was
a Confederate soldier and was paroled
and kopt that parolo in good faith; 2nd,
that horses, side arms or baggago were
taken from him by Union soldiors act
ing under tho orders of superior officers
and in violation of tho terms of parole;
3rd, that tho claimant was tho actual
and bona fide owner of tho property
taken: 4th, its valuo.
Tho officer admiuistoring the oath

tho claim is meritorious.
I hopo to be in Laurcns within the

AN OLD FAVORITE I
SWEET LOVE REMEMBERED.
By William Shakespeare
HBN In disgrace with fortune end men'n eyes,
I ail aione beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf Heaven with my bootless erica,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope.
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and tli.it man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in th' xc thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state
(Llko to the lark nt break of day arising
From sullen earth) ships hymns at heaven's gate.
For thy swept love remembered such wealth brings,
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
WHITE STONE L1THIA WATER
Is the lightest water on the market. We roallzo that this is claiming a
great doal, and wo could not afford to mako this assertion unless wo know that
we could provo It to bo true. But it doos not tako an export to tost the softuoss
of a Minoral Wutor. When carbonating a mineral water, if it is a hard wator
tho gases will not bo absorbed in tho water, and whon tho bottle is oponod, the
gases escape, and the water is left Hat and hard, while if it is a soft wator, liko
WHITE STONE LITHIA, it will retain its gases for hours after being un
