LAURENS, S. C, DECEMBER 18, 1907.
THE LATE STATE DISPENSARY.
At a cost of $8,000 the American Au
dit Company has investigated the books
of the late State dispensary. The in
vestigation has enabled the commission
winding up the concern's affairs to re
cover for the State much more than
$8,000.
The auditor's report reveals the rot
tenest mess ever heard of in South
Carolina, possibly excepting the aggre
gate stealings during the Republican
regime.
The investigation had direct refer
ence only to the last year or two of the
dispensary's existence; but the auditors
report that the rottenness extended
many years back?or, in other words,
that they found no traces of records
properly and correctly kept at any
time. Some of the important books
could not be found at all -had evidently
been destroyed in order that proof of
improper conduct might not be discov
ered. Sometimes the same firm was
paid twice for the same whisky. Some
times the concern had thousands of dol
lars in the banks which did not appear
on the books -which, presumably, might
have been checked out and misappro
priated without the public being the
wiser. The auditors could make no
head nor tail to the books, and were
forced to depend on the honesty of out
side whisky houses to pay debts owing
to the dispensary. Some of the whisky
houses could have escaped paying hun
dreds of dollars, because there was no
adequate record of the transactions in
the dispensary oflicc.
There is no estimating with accuracy
how much money was filched from the
pockets of the people of South Carolina
in the thirteen years. One year, when
the sales were two million six hundred
thousand dollars, the net profit was less
than one per cent. The Richmond News
Leader estimates that during the life of
the concern the stealing amounted to
?ibout five million dollars. We guess
that, owing to mismanagement and dis
honesty, an average of about a quarter
of a million dollars a year, or a total of
about three and a quarter million dol
lars, found its way into the pockets or
stomachs of somebody else which ought
to have gone into the treasury of South
Carolina.
In 1892 forty thousand out of seventy
thousand South Carolina Democrats
voted for prohibition in the primary,
and if their mandate had not been trod
den upon and spurned by Governor B.
S. Tillman there would have been no
State dispensary. The governor's ex
cuse was that eighteen thousand people
who voted for governor had refrained
from voting on the question.
In 1898, long after the State was
filled with the smell of corruption, Mr.
Featherstone would have been elected
governor and the State dispensary
killed had not the influence of Senator
Tillman saved it for eight more years.
In 1900 the late Col. James A. Iloyt
would have been elected governor and
the State dispensary abolished had not
Senator Tillman stumped the State in
its defence. It was, as he said, "his
baby."
In 1906 the people of South Carolina
voted in a primary that ii be abolished,
in spite of the fact that Senator Till
man stumped the State, begging that
it be purged but saved.
Senator Tillman has done greater
things, of their kind, for South Caro
lina than any man who has lived.
TO MEET IN DENVER.
The Democratic national committee
has chosen Denver, Colorado, as the
place of meeting for the next national
convention of the party and July 7 as
the time. This increases the chances
of the nomination of Mr. Bryan and
therefore of the defeat of the party.
Moreover, when the convention meets
in Denver under the auspices of Senator
Henry M. Teller and other former Re
publicans who joined the Democracy
when the Republicans refused to en
dorse free silver, it is likely that the
few remaining traces of the Democracy
of Jefferson will be abandoned. In
another year the Democratic party will
probably bear not as much resemblance
to tho party of Madison, Jefferson and
Calhoun as it will bear to the Republi
canism of Roosevelt. However, the
party has a perfect right to adopt any
sort of a platform that it prefers and
if the party of "strict construction,"
which was the old Democratic party,
does not suit the present day Democrats
and they turn their backs on it it is
their business. Mr. Bryan is a federal
ist, not a strict constructionist. That
some of his nearest friends admit.
In some form ?ndernder some name
the old Democracy will revive. Num
bers of Americans believe in the prin
ciples of Calhoun and a party embody
ing them will probably be in the field
within a few years.
ROOSEVELT WILL NOT RUN.
President Roosevelt has again sol
emnly declared that he will not accept
another nomination and most people are
taking him at his word. A few news
papers still insist that the Republican
convention by nominating him again
over his protest may induce him to
break his pledge. Strange, but when
the President makes a promise no one
seems to take it for granted that ho
will keep it. Of course this is unjust
to him.
NO STATE PROHIBITION.
We now think that no probability
whatever appears for the passage of a
State prohibition bill at the coming ses
sion of the legislature. Of the 41 coun
ties 22 are still selling whiskey. If
there had been any general desire
among the people for State prohibition
efforts would have been made in at least
15 counties to vote out the dispensaries
since the passage of the Carey-Cothran
act, but the fact that such efforts have
been made this year in only two coun
ties, Kershaw and Chesterfield, proves
that the disposition of the people is to
give the county option a fair trial. In
Kershaw county the dispensaries were
not voted out. The legislator who in
sists upon State prohibition at the com
ing session will do so at the risk of op
posing the clearly intimated disposition
of the people of the State. The amend
ment of the law providing that coun
ties desiring to have a lawful whiskey
traffic must affirmatively vote for their
retention or re-establishment may de
serve support but, at present, we think
the Legislature should go slowly.
ANOTHER TERM FOR ANSEL.
Governor Ansel announces that he
will be a candidate for re-election as
governor. Of course he deserves re
election. He has attended to his duties
faithfully and has performed them with
courage and ability. Those who jeered
at him as "a straddler" when he was a
candidate must feel ashamed of them
selves now. He has Jproved himself a
man of unusual decision of character.
We told you so during the campaign
last year. We suppose he will have no
opposition for re-election.

Oood Cough Medicine for Children.
The season for coughs nnd colds is
now at hand, and too much care cannot
be used to protect the children. A child
is much more likely to contract diph
theria or scarlot fever when he has a
cold. The quicker you cure his cold the
less the risk. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the sole reliance of many
mothers, and few of those who have
tried it are willing to use any other.
Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Ripley, W.

other than Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for my children, and it has
always given good satisfaction." This
remedy contains no opium or other nar
cotic, and may be given as confidently
