We have refrained from taking an ac tive part in the campaign leading up to the Brice law election for the reason that we believed that the people of the county should not vote the Dispensary out of existence unless it was their well considered and unbiased wish to do so. The attitude of The Advertiser as an uncompromising opponent of the Dis pensary system was and is well known, but we did not care to urge even those of our own political way of thinking to activity in this matter. It was our judgment that the Dispensary should be retained unless the people were earn estly determined to enforce Prohibition. To enforce it is the important proposi tion soon to be before them and one of more serious consequence than that of expelling the grog-shop by votes. We are glad that the vote has shown this determination to exist. Whether or not the Prohibition laws shall be enforced in this county depend upon the disposition of the 3,500 good white men in the county to see that the 50 or 100 white men and negross in the county who are disposed to violate the law shall be prevented from doing it. The main trouble will arise at first in this town, but we have no doubt that Mayor William R. Richey will very soon, by the imposition of the severest punishment, teach the "tigers" that the locality is not healthly for them. He has, we believe, an efficient police force and he and his council will have no difficulty in knowing whether or not the policemen are vigilant in doing their duty. If they should neglect their duty, they will be dismissed, we think, and others will be employed in their stead. "Blind tigers" will appear from time to time in other parts of the county but they will not give serious trouble in any neighborhood where one brave and watchful citizen will take the pains to insist upon the law officers arresting them. The sheriff, the various magistrates and the constables, each and all of them, have taken a solemn oath to en force the laws. We suppose they are able to enforce them and if blind tigers should become numerous in Laurens it will be for them to give the people the reason why. A confession that they cannot prevent saturation of this county with illicit whiskey should be extremely humiliating to self-respecting officials. We do not mean that no such thing as a blind tiger is to be heard of in the county. Occasional violations of the law must occur, but the law officers will have no excuse for a failure to nake whiskey selling a dangerous, un pleasant and expensive business. Meanwhile we have firm faith in our brave old sherifT and we believe that he will receive the zealous co-operation of other officers. A TRIPPLE ALLIANCE. It seems highly proper that the Hon. Coleman L. Blease, of Newberry, should be the Dispensary's candidate for Governor just as Mr. B. R. Tillman will bo*the Dispensary's candidate for the United States Senate in the coming campaign. Senator Tillman, indeed, commenced his campaign last summer, delivering within a period of two or three months a number of strong speeches pledging anew his loyalty to the Dispensary idea and coupling with it the declaration that he would make at least one more cam paign in its defense. Senator Tillman has lost numbers of his able lieutenants since the beginning of his career. A score of those who are dead either abandoned him or found themselves flung by him upon the polit ical junk-heap before they died. Many others, such as the Hon. W. Jasper Talbert and possibly the Hon. Asbury Latimer, who are still living, no longer bask in the warmth of his benevolent protection. Mr. C. L. Blease is an ex ception. He became aTillmanite in his early youth, he has learned his political lessons from Senator Tillman and he through good and evil report has stood by the Tillmans and their political in terests. Certainly no man in South Carolina except Senator Tillman is so intimately and sympathetically identi fied with the Dispensary as is Mr. Blease. We do not believe that a com bination has been effected by candidates Blease and Tillman for the coming cam paign but they will be natural and in evitable allies. We are, of course, unfriendly to the Dispensary and to the political aspira tions of both Mr. Blease and Mr. Till man, and we shall as usual endeavor to defeat the three, but we are compelled to admit that if Mr. Blease shall be elected Governor, Mr. Tillman deserves a re-election to the Senate and that the Dispensary will thereby be vindicated. It seems that the links that bind the three arc by nature indissoluble, and that neither in life nor death should they be divided. * VAQRANCV. We hear conplaints on every side against vagrancy. Some people assert that the law is not enforced and others that the law itself is not stringent enough and the so called vagrants are not liable to it. It is impossible for the editor of this paper to investigate the apparent cases but it does seem to us that the law is comprehensive enough to cover any case of vagrancy and if the officers will keep tab on the movements of some of the loafers of this city cases could most assuredly be made out. In tho meantime there is certainly work for every one to do. MAKING AMENDS. Nearly three years ago Senator Till man went to Charleston upon the invi tation of a number of gentlemen to a dinner given in his honor. He made a spectacle of himself, so it was said, ? taking occasion after accepting this hospitality in a speech at the dinner to abuse the City of Charleston, to hold it up to ridicule and snort around gener ally in an unseemly way. Last week he attended the banquet given to Secretary Bonaparte and the officers of the Cruiser Charleston. His acceptance of this invitation was in ef fect an humble apology to Charleston and will be so interpreted. We believe that the Senator is entirely sincere in his expressions of regret at having been offensive on the former occasion, but it is unfortunate that no opportunity for their utterance should have been pre sented or found until now, when the campaign for the choice of his successor in the United States Senate is soon to open. The people of Charleston have a right to feel good over this sign that their support has at last come to be worth seeking even by that Ben Tillman whose habit for years was to make capital with the country people by heaping upon them coarse and bitter abuse. The politicians aro polite even to Charleston nowadays. In these days when the people of the country vote against the Tillman dispensary, the Charleston vote is worth having. a Laurens county rejected the dispen sary in spite of the warning and the be lief that such action would involve a considerable financial sacrifice. We are glad the election was held before the decision of the Supreme Court was rendered, eliminating the county pen alty clause. COMMENTS ON RECENT ELECTION. THE FAME OP JACKS IS GREAT. In view of Tuesday's vote?What is dry as a day in Laurens? So they voted out of existence the only oasis between Newberry and the North Carolina line. We beg for time. We require twenty four hours to fully absorb the state ment that Jacks Township has been un true to the dispensary. For the pres ent we stand mute. Perhaps the South Carolina General Assembly will investigate the revolu tion in Jacks Township.? News and Courier. "BY THE SKIN OF THE TEETH." Laurens county rejected the G. M. I. by the "skin of the teeth," as it were, but it has been done all the same, and the vote was about as representative as any so far held. Jacks Township came to the front. The vote was small but the dispensary lost out all the same.?Spartanburg Herald. UP TO THE LEGISLATURE. The vote in Laurens demonstrates for the sixteenth time that the people of South Carolina are sick of the dis pensary. This is true irrespective of the former political standing of these counties. "Reform" and "conserva tive" counties alike have expressed themselves against the dispensary.? Will the legislature still hesitate in taking action to remove the abomina tion?-The State. ALMOST GONE. Laurens county has joined Cherokee, Pickem?, York, et al., and voted out the dispensary. Well, who'd a thunk it! The first thing the advocates of the dispensary know they won't have a leg to stand on.?Gaffney Ledger. WARNING WAS UNHEEDED. Laurens county has joined the ranks of the anti-dispensary counties. The majority is not large, but nevertheless it is a majority. We give a cordial welcome to our neighbors. Much has been done recently to help out the dis pensary forces. The people of Laurens were warned of the dire consequences of voting out the great moral institu tion from their county, but we are sin cerely glad that the manhood of Laurens has asserted itself. Even Jacks town ship voted against the institution. Good for the people of Jacks. The vote cast was proportionately larger than has been cast in most of the counties when this issue was at stake. We are glad the vote was so large. In Laurens township, especially, a good vote was polled. One by one the counties have repudiated the institution; now let the legislature do likewise. The thing can't stand any more patching.?Greenville Mountaineer. SENATOR TILLMAN'S SCHEME. Gives Members of the General Assembly His Views on Dispensary Issue. Columbia, Jan. 11.?The dispensary folks are active. They are organizing and defeating things in a systematic, and businesslike way. Senator Tillman was here today and gave members friendly to the dispen sary his views. He said he had not prepared a bill but simply offered those interested the suggestions he made at Gaffney, Anderson, Edgefield, Lancas ter, Yorkville and other places. He suggested that purchases be made by annual contract by some committee. A legislative or special committee is agreeable. He would have such a com mittee purchase by contract from the lowest bidder spirits and then whiskey from bond, then he would have the state dispensary rectify or mix the liquors, blend or fix them to suit. He would buy no case goods of any sort or description, and then have the com missioner order out such liquor as was actually needed under the contract and contract price agreed upon for the year and limit the orders to actual needs un der penalty. A number of the friends of the State dispensary have been talking ovor the situation and it is likely that one bill will be presented as a result. In the meanwhile there are a score of bills in opposition and this is likely to mean confusion and complication and stickling for pet measures, while the State dispensary advocates are working for one and only one bill. Bent Her Double. "I knew no one, for four weeks, when I was sick with typhoid and kidney trouble," writes Mrs. Annie Hunter, of Pittsburg, Pa., and when 1 got better, although I had one of the best doctors I could get, I was bent double, and had to rest my hands on my knees when 1 walked. From this terrible affliction I was rescued by Electric Bitters, which restored my nealth and strength, and now I can walk as straight as ever. They are simply wonderful."
