Our esteemed contemporary, The Ab beville Press and Banner, continues to talk about the combination of preach ers, blind tigers and others in the cause of prohibition. Our contemporary is entirely mistaken in the facts and we do not believe that it wiahes to ignore the facts. Here is evidence: The Richland distilling company is owned and run, not by prohibitionists, but by twenty men. The influences which proceed from this company are among the main bulwarks of the dispen sary'and the company has sold the dis pensary as much as a million dollars worth of whiskey in a year. The Press and Banner will find that in Charleston where the blind tigers are most numerous, the dispensary is in close touch with them and it will find, if it will inquire, that the blind tigers of Charleston are as a rule advocates of the dispensary system. This may seem queer but it is true. In Charleston the dispensary is Mary and the tigers are her little lamb. The Press and Banner will also find that at least one of the last State, board of control was in the whiskey business before he was elected to the board. It will find also that one member of the present board was in the whiskey busi ness before his election. We are entirely willing to admit that in the early days of the dispensary it was opposed by most of the former bar-keepers but that is not the case now. On the eontraiy some of the bar-keepers are now beer dispensers, others are whiskey drummers and practically all of them who are not dead or have left the state are earning a livlihood out of the dispensary.? "Whose bread I cat, hissong Ising",? so they are now dispensary advocates. The advocacy of the dispensary is the advocacy of the whiskey men who live beyond South Carolina's borders, of the Richland Distilling Company and of the Charleston blind tigers and "old bar-room element" or what's left of it. The people who are shouting for the dispensary this year are simply pull ing chestnuts out of the fire for Blumenthal & Rickert, Sam Lanahan, Bernheimer, Farnum, the Richland Dis tilling Company and other liquor deal ers. These firms and men have simply come into South Carolina and have taken charge of the South Carolina dis pensary. Now let us ask the Press and Banner this question. Why is it not willing to have in Abbeville county a dispensary system independent of counties, doing its own buying and selling, just as does that in Athens, Ga.? Senator Tillman got his idea from Athens. There's no graft in the Athens dispensary. It makes more money proportionately, so we are informed, than do the South Carolina dispensaries?because the?-e is ^no dishonesty. Does not the Press and Banner believe that the Abbeville dis pensary would be conducted just as well if it had nothing to do with a con cern in Columbia? And has Abbeville any objection to Anderson having pro hibibition all the time if Anderson votes it and wants it? With the Athens, Ga., system in Abbeville the whiskey would still be sold only in daylight hours as now, only in original packages of a half pint or over and no drinking would be allowed on the premises. The only change that THE Advkr t1sek is urging is that the State Whis key Store in Columbia be abolished.? What is the necessity for the store. You get no liquor from it. Prof. W. B. Burney, the state chemist, testifies that the certificates with his signature on case goods are forged. The fight is not against the dis pensary but against the state liquor store. THE Aovkktiskr, for one, is more than willing that counties desiring dispensaries shall have them. Put does Abbeville favor "Hub" against Frazer Lyon? That is the issue. * WHAT THE RESULT WILL BE. When the primaries are over it may be interesting to talk about the follow ing predictions, based on a study of the facts: Mr. Lumpkin will receive about 20,000 votes against Senator Tillman. This loaves 80,001) for Tillman. Mr. Martin F. Ansel will lend in the first primary by at least 10,000 votes over his nearest opponent and be elected overwhelmingly in the second primary. Four years ago he carried his old judicial circuit almost to a man and it gave him about 12,000 votes to start with. He got mighty few elsewhere Hey ward and Talbert were known gen erally and he was not. That race intro duced him. Barring accidents, he is as good as elected. People who want band wagon seats will take due notice. At present Mr. Cole L. Bleasc is lead ing for second place. If Senator Till man joins in the campaign he will quietly undertake to put a stop to this and throw his influence to Mr. R. I. ? Manning--not that he likes Manning so much but because he thinks Manning would prove a stronger man in the final heat. Meanwhile, if Mr. Bleaso continues to develop strength, Senator Tillman will be scared off from inter fering. Mr. A. W. Jones will be elected comptroller general and ought to be. The closest contest of all is between Col. Lewis W. Haskcll and Col. J. C. Boyd for adjutant and inspector gen eral. We can't predict the result. The race for railroad commissioner is Wharton against the field with Sullivan second. We hope Col. Tribble will bo elected secretary of state. We believe that J. Fraaer Lyon will sweep the state for attorney general, we believe in the people strongly enough to take for granted that they will elect him overwhelmingly. He deserves election more than any man that has run for any office in the state in 20 years. In the cases of Tribble and Lyon the judgment of The Advertiser may possibly be biased by its wishes?we do not know. In the other cases, wo wish some of our "predictions" elected and some defeated. Of course this Laur ens newspaper is for Wharton first, last and all the time. Keep this and joke us about it when tho votes are counted. * ABOUT THE COMMISSION BUSINESS. We hope nobody imagines that be cause The Advertiser has been silent recently about the Laurens Cotton Mills and the commission business, it has given up the fight. On the contrary we ex pect of course to continue to keep the people of Laurens informed on this matter so far as we can. The Boston Transcript announces that I the Grendel Mills at Greenwood, S. C. has made a contract with Smith, Hogg & Company, to sell its goods at two and , two and a half per cent, against four and four and a half formerly paid. A number of other South Carolina mills have lately arranged with this house to sell their goods, among them the Pelzer Mills and the Ware Shoals Mills. We susdect that this house would also be glad to get the account of the Laurens Cotton Mills at half the rate that it is paying Deering, Milliken & Company. We would be glad if the local directors of this local enterprise', including the two South Carolina directors living in Spartanburg, and who form a majority of the directors, would explain why one New York house is paid about twice as much to do a certain service as other houses are ready to do it for equally as well? They have some good reason. It cannot be said that there is any personal matter in it now. They are each and [ every one bound in honor to do the best they can for the stockholders. We know that the New York house, Deer ing, Milliken & Company, own a con trolling interest in the mill but we also know that this can have nothing to do with honorable gentlemen's conduct who represent all the stockholders as trustees. They will not breach their trusts to suit the pleasure of the largest stockholders, they will resign before they will permit the mill to be conducted in a manner in the least unfair to any body. Therefore we are persuaded that there is some good reason why the Laurens Mills should be willing to pay a larger rate of commission than the Ware Shoals Mill, for instance, is sup posed to pay and we think that the South Carolina directors ought to put themselves publicly on record about it. As the commission business is one af fecting the general welfare and pros perity of this county, we shall have something to say a little later or from time to time on this keenly interesting subject. * A REASONABLE REQUEST. That the shippers and business men of this section are helping the railroads all they can, is a well known fact those who take the trouble to inform themselves. Increased business em phasizes the necessity for increased fa cilities. The merchant who has not clerks enough to wait on the customers crowding his counters is going to in crease Iiis force. The requests made of our railroads for more trains and' more mails is reasonable, beyond the stage of r.rgument. The Greenville News of last Saturday had this to say about one of our roads: "While the Charleston & Western Carolina does not claim to be the big gest thing of its kind in this part of the country, this popular railway has been reaping the benefits of the pros perity of Greenville and the Piedmont with the other lines. It. is said that the Greenville branch of the Charleston & Western Carolina is doing fifty per cent, more business to-day than it did on the same date last year. So enor mously has the freight traffic into and out of this city increased within the last six months that the company finds it self almost unable to cope with the de mands. "The passenger business over the road haV increased with the freight tonnage, and the accommodation train to Laurens is not the "dead loss" it was declared to be." ? WHERE IS THE OPPOSITION? Inquiry has been made at this office ro v. no ..re anii-uispencRry canal dates for the legislature from this county. As for the candidates' plat forms they are a matter of public record. The election held under the Price Act would indicate that the majority of the voters of this county are against the Great Moral Institution, but those who oppose it seem unwilling to make an active campaign against it. They lack enthusiasm and organization and with these nothing succeeds. What's the good of keeping from him Any good things you may see, That will lift his load of labor Like Rocky Mountain Tea.

The following true story is related of an eminent Chicago physician: He was called into court one day to testify, and the lawyer took particular pains to em phasize the prominence of the witness, he brought out the fact by asking the following questions: "Now, doctor, are you not the phy sician for the Armour fanwly?" "Yes, sir," was the reply. "Are you not the physician for the Pullman family?" "Yes." ' 'Are you not the physician for the Palmer family?" "Yes." "You number among your clientage the Swifts, the Fields, the Keiths, etc?" "Yes." After a dozen or more of the most j prominent families in Chicago were enumerated, he was questioned as to his knowledge of the case in court. When it came the turn of the oppos ing lawyer to cross-examine the doctor, he surprised everyone by asking pre cisely the same questions that the first lawyer had asked; and after he had em phasized the prominence of the doctor and the prominence o.r his patronage, he suddenly said: "By the way, doctor, where is P. D. Armour now?" I "He is dead." "Where is Potter Palmer?" I "He is dead." "Where is George M. Pullman?" "He is dead." "Where is Mr. Field?" "He is dead." "Then the lawyer calmly said: "I believe I have no more questions to ask the doctor." -Exehnnge. THE LAZIEST MAN. "The laziest man I ever saw," said a traveling man, as the Philadelphia Re cord tells it, "was a station agent in a little one-horse town in Idaho. After 1 had finished what business I could do in the town, I went down to the railroad station to buy a ticket for my next stop. The lazy station master sat on a broken-down office chair, his feet on the desk. When 1 asked for the ticket, he slowly reached up in the rack, drew it out, handed it to me, and took my money wichout bestowing a glance upon me or moving from his chair. 'That's the laziest thing 1 ever saw,' I said to him. 'If you can do anything lazier than that I'll give you a dollar.' With out the slightest curiosity or even in terest the loafer drawled, 'Put it in my pocket," and 1 did.' APPROPRIATE. "De Riter hasn't been very success ful with his new paper, has he? "No, I think he ought to change the name of it, ought to call it Advice." "Why, Why?" Well nobody takes it." Philadelphia Press. The Ninety and Nine. Deeply impressed recently by an ad dress given at Brighton on the evils of smoking, a young minister rose and said that that morning he had had a present of one hundred cigars, and one of them he had smoked, but he had now determined to go home and throw the rest into the fire. Thereupon a Baptist minister arose and said that he meant to accompany his reverend brother. "My intention," he added, "is to rescue the ninety and nine."? London Tribune. An Oddity. "If you want to see an oddity," an undertaker said, "go to a cemetery and note how in the erection of old-fash ioned tombs, they lower into places the marble slabs. "These marble slabs are not lowered by means of a derrick. They are low ered by hand. The work is so delicate, you see, and it is so necessary not to clip the edges of the stones, that only hand work answers. "You wonder, 1 suppose, how the men avoid pinching or crusning their fingers as they lower 'a great slab of marble onto its marble base. Well, they accomplishlish this by lowering the stone upon lumps of sugar arranged in orderly lines, and thon they grad ually dissolve the sugar by squirting water over it. "All the huge, fiat stones of old fashioned tombs or vauts are lowered by hanrl on lumps of sugar."? Spartan burg Journal. Long Tennccsscc Fight. For twenty years W. L. Rawls of Bells, Tenn., fought nasal catarrh. He writes; "The swelling and soreness inside my nose was fearful, till I began applying Bucklon's Arnica Salve to the sore sur face: this caused the soreness and swell ing to disappear, never to return."

"Professional men do some things better than they used to," droned an att<#ney who doesn't practice If he can help It. "That lo," ho went on to explain, "professional men don't do some things they once did, and I think they're the bettor for It. There was a time, when I was growing up, when tlioy advertis ed their culling by inouns of their dress. You could pick out a clergy man as far as you could see him, and It was much the same with lawyers. Nowadays preachers and pleaders wear raiment which makes them look like prosperous business men or high tonod sports, and they seem to be more approachable and companionable, whether they are or not, "But the greatest change In this re spect has takeu place among the phy? slcians, not so much their clothes, per haps, as their manner. I can remember when the old fashioned doctor entered a sickroom you felt that the Jig was tip, even If you were suffering from noth ing more serious than a scratched ear, and you were sorry you hadn't led a better life. He'd tiptoe In with a face that reached from his forehead to bis knees, clear his throot, whisper to moth er, take out his wotch, feel for your pulse and gaze, gloomily into spuce?the spnclcst, farthest away space ovoe. Then he'd whisper to mother again, write a prescription and steal out. " 'Is there no hope?' 1 used to ask mother. "However, as I sold, that's all gone by. They're cheerful and breezy when they appear, on odor of fresh air and maybe the smell of a clgor are clinging to them, and they laugh at your fears and talk out loud. That's a sight better than medicine In most casus. Tho trouble Is I don't often have the luck to be 111 lately."?Providence Journal. TROT OR GALLOP? ' A Problem for People With Kveo Very Shnrp Kyea. Here Is a problem for people with sharp eyes: As we all know, a horse when walking or trotting advances only one leg of each polr at a time, but wheu galloping lifts both forefeet to gether and then both hind feet. Now, the question is how other anlmuls man age this matter. The birds, of course, flap both wings together, but which birds run and which hop? We human beings "trot" when we walk and "gal lop" when we swim?that Js, if wo are using the plain breast stroke. Tho dog, however, "trots" for both. Now, do the amphibious animals?the seals, ot ters ami the rest? swim like men or like other four footed creatures? Thou there are the fish. One would rather expect that, as they move their tails from side to side, they would flap alternately with the fins, which are their hands and feet. Who can tell whether they do or not, and whether ull llsh at all times follow one rule? By tho way. how does a frog use its "hands?" The great anatomist, E. Kay Lankester, has pointed out that, while the "thousand legn," such os our com mon galloyworm, advance two feet of a pair together, the centlpcds, wbicb are much like them, do exactly the op posite, and the swimming worms also alternate the stroke of each pair of paddles. Few peoplo can tell on which system the caterpillar manages Its dozen or so legs or whether the adult insect walks, trots, paces or gallops on Its six. How does the spider UflO eight? Altogether, this is a large Held for observation, a field, too, where any one may discover new facts as yet unrecorded, and thus add to the store of knowledge. The llreiithtnir Barth, That the earth breathes Is a welt known sclentilie fact. It is often to be verified by that peculiar earthy smell which arises Immediately alter a thunderstorm, Ihe lowering of the bar ometric pressure causing the How tip ward of air, Just as It is ouce more Squeezed downward when the barome ter rises.
