One of the most remarkable j>olitical events of this year is that the dis pensary, the State dispensary, will be advocated by Mr. Richard I. Manning, of Sumter, who is a candidate for gov ernor. We have known Mr. Manning a long time, and we have no hesitation in saying that he iaone of the best men in South Carolina. His politics from the point of view of The Advertiser have always been sound until now, and we think that his championship of the State dispensary, of the State as a whiskey dealer, is the mistake of his life, whether he be elected governor or not. We wish to say, however, that we have no patience with any charge that Mr. Manning is a State dispensary man because Tillmnn favors it, for we know him well enough to express the opinion without qualification that not Tillman or any other man can control him. He favors the State dispensary because he believes in its efficacy as a remedy for the liquor evil, and, great as is his error, it is an honest error. The truth is that the State dispensary is a mask. The real dispensary is a group of liquor merchants, liquor agents and one great distillery, who intend to use it as a selling agency. At the present moment it may be in honest hands, we know nothing about this new board of control, it may be composed of excellent men, and as far as we know they are not corruptible, but sooner or later, the group that we have mentioned will govern again. If you have a liquor shop in Laurens and a "still" within half a mile, there's going to be a part nership, even if the State runs the shop. You can't keep the two kinds of business from mixing. The real whiskey bosses of South Carolina are not always dispensary ofli cials and the best friends of the dis pensary, some of them live in Balti more, and when a Laurens voter cheers a dispensary candidate he is also cheer ing the Baltimore man. The notion that laws can be devised that will keep the State dispensary clean is the merest bosh?notwithstanding that some first rate men of otherwise good political records entertain it. Over in Georgia there are licensed bar-rooms in the big cities. In over one hundred of the one hundred and thirty-seven counties prohibition pre vails, and has prevailed for years. It is enforced. If it were not en forced the people would years ago have returned to bars or dispen saries. In about twenty counties there are dispensaries, but each dis pensary is an independent county affair. The money that it makes is spent in the county. The tax-payers have the business under their eyes, and the grand juries watch. If Laurens county had an independent dispensary, respon sible only to Laurens men, the Laurens tax-payers would have their eyes open and the Laurens grand juries would watch. We read the Georgia newspa pers, and we have not heard of shortages in the Georgia dispensaries. They sell under the same regulations as to origi nal packages, night closing and drink ing on the premises as are had in South Carolina. North Carolina has the same system, and prohibition is the law in most of the counties. In Tennessee there are only a few counties, most of those having large cities in which whis key is sold, and the same is the rule in Mississippi and Texas. If the State dispensary is retained in this State it will be a good thing for I the wholesale whiskey dealers who are in touch with it, not to mention certain other Columbia enterprises which make money out of it. The dispensary as a State institution is a fine institution for Columbia banks, for the deposits of the concern and of the distillery and other adjuncts are enormous. Many a man in Columbia who has houses to rent finds tenants among the dispensary em ployees. If the State dispensary were located in Clinton, with its half century record of prohibition, Clinton might vote for the dispensary, and Laurens or Charleston might do the same thing un der the same circumstances. Such is human nature. The Advertiser does not think it worth while to make a fight on the dis pensary's reform features. Counties which prefer that whiskey shall be sold, and sold under the dispensary restric tions, in original packages, should be allowed to have them. But counties which prefer prohibition should be al lowed to have it. If Mr. Manning were against the State whiskey machine The Advertiser would say that he is an exceptionally good man for gov ernor. But Mr. Ansel is also a good man. Wo are not now prepared to ex- ] press a choice. A great many people would like to sec Mr. Featherstone in the field, and if he should enter v/e Would support him, not primarily be cause he is a Laurens man, but because ne would make a splendid governor. But we wish we could have peace about whiskey, ns they have it in Georgia. But we repeat that, apart from his dispensary views, no man need have any fear of Mr. Manning, nor need they imagine that he has tacked to the coat tails of Tillman. Long Tcnnccssec Eight.

"How do you know this is my hat?" the college president asked, as his silk tile was presented to him. "I don't know it, sah," said the doorman. "Then why did you give it to me?" insisted President Eliot. "Because you gave it to me, sah," was the reply. Eleven-thirty P. M. - "Still here, young man?" "As still as possible, sir.

Enterprise. TDK PLANS WERK DELAYED. General Grant records a good story that used to amuse him greatly of a cer tain rough carpenter who accompanied "Stonewall" Jackson in many of his marches. On one occasion, when he was mak ing a rapid movement, he came to a deep strcam;the bridge had been burned, and it was necessary it should be re stored as soon as possible. Jackson sent for his engineers and the carpenter, telling them what was required, and the engineers retired to their tents to prepare their plans. Two hours later the carpenter re ported: "Gineral, that bridge is finished, but them pictures ain't come yet." OBEYED HIS ORDERS. A celebrated Continental specialist to whom time was literally money and who was possessed of a fiery temper made it a rule that all patients should undress before entering his consulting room so as not to waste any of his valuable time. One day a meek-looking little man entered with all his clothes on. "What do you mean by coming in like that?" said the doctor, in a rage. "Go arid strip at once!" "Hut I - " faltered the man. "I tell you I've no time to waste," yelled the doctor, and the poor man left the room in haste. When his turn came he re-entered the room. "Now, then," said the doctor, "that's better. What can I do for you?" "I called to collect your subscription for the benevolent society. "?The Tat ler. NEXT TO CJODLINKS8.

The largest Methodist church in Geor gia expected to use 100 gallons of the usual kind of paint, they only used 32 gallons L & M. mixed with 24 gallons Linseed Oil. It costs less to paint a house with L. & M. than with other paint, because painter mixes Linseed Oil fresh from the barrel at GO cents a gallon with L. & M.. and doesn't pay $1.50 per gallon for Linseed Oil as done if ready-for-use paint is used.
