Blease should be elected Governor of South Carolina the Dispensary would be stronger than it has been in years. Senator Blease is the most active and aggressive cham pion that the Dispensary has at this time. With Mr. Blease in the Gov ernor's office and Capt. Tillman in the Senate the Dispensary would be con ducted much as it was conducted when Capt. Tillman was Governor. If the Dispensary is not killed at the present session of the General Assembly to Senator Blease will be due the princi pal credit for saving it. This will af ford to Senator Tillman the opportunity to make that "one more" campaign in its defense. Meanwhile wo are not sure that Sena tor Tillman has a stomach for that fight. He will have all he can do to be reelected to the Senate without risking his political life to save the Dispen sary's corpse now floating rapidly out ward with the tide. For six months he has been as quiet as a mouse about the liquor law. But?if Mr. Blease shall succeed in leading a spectacular fight for the Great Moral Institution in the General Assembly, the Tillman-Blease ticket may prove the strongest combination in next summer's campaign. * THE 10 HOUR DAY BILL, We wish it understood that The Ad vertiser is not fighting the "10 hour day bill." We are taking no part in it. We do not know whether or not our mill operatives and mill owners in Lau rens desire it. It is largely a question of expediency. We should hesitate long to advocate or oppose measures of legislation affecting tlje relations be tween employers and employed?wheth er engaged in manufacturing, farming or rail roading, unless we know fully what the persons most interested de sired. On general principles, we believe in short hours, on general principles we should favor the "10 hour a day" bill, but this does not mean that we should favor it if it involved a reduction in earnings or carried great injury to ei ther operatives or owners or both. Whenever the time arrives that the hours in the mills can be reduced to 10 without curtailing the wages of the help, we shall favorthe passage of the bill?but we are una ble to say whether or not this can be done at this time. The mill presidents who have spoken say that such a time has not come. If the mill operatives generally demand the passage of the bill showing thereby a willingness to take the risk of a wage reduction, we think the bill should be passed; but they do not appear to make this demand. * THE ELECTION CONTEST. As regards the election under the "Brice Act" held in this county on January 9th, that there should have been a contest is unfortunate. There was no necessity for it. The election should have been conducted so as to make the legality unquestionable. The white people of Laurens County are not just now learning how to con duct an election. There is not a single charge of fraud against the voters of this county and the people have a right to know who is responsible for trifling with their con stitutional rights, and the transgressors should be made to feel the weight of their displeasure. ? AS TO VAGRANTS. If any person in Laurens County is violating the laws against vagrancy, the duty confronts the officers of the law, backed by the good citizenship of the county to have them arrested and punished. We know of no law that can be enforced except by public sentiment represented and embodied in faithful of ficials. So long as vagrants are com mon, burglars, thieves, blind tigers and other miscreants will endanger the pub lic peace. ORGANIZER SELECTED. State Executive Committee of Southern Cotton Association Take This Action. Columbia, Jan. 17. ?The state execu tive committee of the Southern Cotton Association met here this afternoon for the purpose of electing three organiz ers to canvass the state and perfect the organization.

Columbia, Jan. 18.?The policy-hold- j era of the New York Life and the Mutual Life Insurance companies met here today to perfect an organization of the State policy-holdors. The first to meet were the policy-holders of the New York Life. They perfected an organization by electing Mr. T. B. Stark house of Columbia, president; ex Govemor John C. Sheppard, vice presi dent and James A. Hoyt, secretary. It was decided that the executive committee should be composed of one member from each congressional dis trict in the State. A committee was elected to represent the policy-holders at the annual meeting of the company. Governor Heyward was recommended for appointment to fill one of the va canciea on the board of trustees. The policy-holders of the Mutual, at their meeting, followed the same plan of organization electing Gen. Wilie Jones of Columbia, president; S. H. Wilson of Charleston, vice president, and F. H. McMaater of Columbia, sec retary. Mr. LeRoy Springs of Lancas ter, was recommended for trustee. ?-i A Creeping Death. Blood poison creeps up towards the heart, causing death. J. E.

Jackson, Miss., Jan. 18.?A report having been current for some weeks that Governor Vardaman had thrashed severely a convict at the Governor's mansion some time ago M. W. Wells, Jr., a member of the Legislative peni tentiary committee, called on the Gov ernor and asked him if the report was true. Governor Vardaman said that he had whipped the convict, who, he said, was shining his shoes, and made some impertinent remark. The Gov ernor said he had kicked the convict, ^ and then grabbed a broom and had given him a sound thrashing. Governor Vardaman, in his message to the Legislature, charged the Legis lature to investigate the convict sys tem and this whipping of a convict by the Governor will be thoroughly inves tigated by the committee. The con vict who was whipped is now in the prison hospital suffering from rheuma tism. The publicity of the story here has created a great sensation in politi cal circles.

Two Irishmen were crossing a bog when one of them fell into a mud hole. His companion, running to a nearby farm house, askod the loan of a spade. "What do you want it for?" asked the farmer. "Sure, Mike is stuck in the bog, and I want to dig him out," was the an swer. "How far in is he sunk?" questioned the farmer. "Up to his ankles." "Begorra, then he can easy walk out." "Begorra, he can't," exclaimed Pat, "he's in wrong end up. " ? Harper's Weekly. equal to the occasion. On board one of the Forth pleasure steamers, which have to be built with exceedingly light draught to get over the frequent shallows of the river, a Yankee tourist remarked to the captain, a shrewd old Scotsman, "I guess, skip per, that you think nothing of steaming across a meadow when there's been a heavy fall of dew."
