LAURENS, S. C, Jan. 17, 1906.
NOW ENFORCE THE LAW.
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.
