The spirit of the \i mighty Cod has (?n breathed into the souls of most n! them, and that saves them for good forever. Ilul God has never intended that any Of Ills creatures should reach spontaneous perfection. The very Rowers of the field are not permitted to do anything of the kind.

If it accuralcl.v represents Senator Tlllmnn's attitude towards the prose cution of men charged v?;ih graft and corruption in connection with the old state dispensary, the senator no lon ger deserves lo be honored by South Carolinians. For a a.an honored as Senator Tillman has been honored by the people of his state, ai.d lifted up by them before t!:< eyes of the nation its their representative in congress, to make such a statement brings more dishonor on the commonwealth than the acquittal of grafters. it places Tillman squarely on the side of those who have robbed the stitte. and against those officials of commonwealth who are proving true to their oath and endeavoring to uphold the law and punish dishonesty.?Spartanburg Her ald.

As long as (he COUllty dispensaries are conducted decently and honestly, it should be a question for the people in each County to determine whether they will permit the legal sale of liquor. When the administration of a county dispensary becomes corrupt, when the grafters establish themselves there, then the majority should de clare against the system.
