ELBERT H. A CLL, I Proprietors. W . P. HOU7SEAL, f ELBERT H. AULL, EUrTot. NE WBERRY, S. C. WEDESDY, NOYEMBER 29, 1893. THE GOVERNOE'S MESSAGE. The Governor's annual message was s elivered to the General Assembly c yesterday. We have made arrange ments to' have it sent to our subscribers in supplement form, though at this writing we have not seen a copy of it. I It should have reached as yesterday at one o'clock, but through somebody's fault it did not. As we gather from a synopsis which we have, the burden of r the message is taken up with an attack on' Judge Simonton and the United States Court in the matter of the rail road and dispensary legislation. s He says that the railroads in the hands of receivers are in open rebellion against the State, and that nothing is s left the State but to repeal the charter t of each of these roads, which is a last desperate remedy. We hardly think t the Legislature will apply such des perate remedies. His attacks on Judge Simooton, we think, are unjust and should -not have been made a part of a State paper. Public questions and s public measures should be discussed s and dealt with without abuse of indi viduals. But it seems the Governor cannot rid himself of his campaign t utterances. His discussion of the dispensary is interesting and instructive. Accord ing to his figures the dispensary has t made a net profit to the State for 1 the first four months of $32,198.16, He presents a number of reasons why the Dispensary is superior to the bar- r room. He suggests that beer be ex- r s cepted from the dispensary law alto gether apd that it . sold under strong t restrictions by a license system and i that domestic wine be also excepted. That done, it seems to us. and the Dis pensary then will in fact be a dead let- I ter ion the statute books. Desperate t -diseases require desperate remedies and a to enforce the law in Columbia and. Charleston it w ill be necessary to have a a system of metropolitan police. t From the glimpses we have had of it ' the message 'is strongly and -forcibly c written. t The Governor's message is rich and j racy, but rather too much venom in u some portions to be classed as a great State paper, from the brain, .hand and pen of a statesman. The Register advocates an extension t of_the time ~ for paying taxes. We thought when the Legislature last minter passed an Act fixing the time December 31st and adding that in nor event would there be an extension,- t that the matter had been settled, andt we believe it has. Taxes must be paid ~ and we can see no good in extending a the time. The cotton crop is about all o gathered and the average tax-Dayer C egn pay by 1st of January as easily as he can later. -If anything is needed it e is to reduce the amount he has to pay I to make it commensurate with the a stringency of the times. There will ' not likely be any extension. We stated last week that the Dis pensary in Charleston was financially C a failure. The statement was madeC upon the assertion in one of the dailies to that effect. We now see it steted d that the profits to the city for the first ' quarter would indicate that the four ~ dispensaries in that city would turn j into the city treasury about $2,500 a year. That is not near as large an amount as has been received from the license system, but still it shows that more than expenses is being made. That was an outrageots affair downC in Beaufort last week. As long as the Dispensary Jaw remains a law on ourr Statute books it should be enforced as d any other law, and tbe officers of the law should not be molested or inter fered with in any such manner as- was the case in Beaufort. Whether the law is to our lking or not, it is neces- 3 sary to good government that rightful authority should be respected, for if it is allowed in one case to so treat the officers of the law, it will be only a short step to the point where there v will be no respect for any law. The Governor is right in taking steps to have the Beaufort rioters answer for their crime. We publish this week Mr. Carlisle's d speech in New York last week. It is t important as outlining the policy of the Administration on the financial question. He seems to be for a single 6 standard as the money of redemption s or final payment. The Laurens Advertiser says: "Here after there will be a Democratic party -in South Carolina, even if it does not b outnumber the defenders of Thermop ylae." Yes, and even if it does dis-t turb the fence-straddlers and the non descript paners that would see De- y mnocracy buried rather than risk losing a few of their subscribers by making a 1 fight. But there will be men enough at the summons to man a hundred y Thermple,and plenty of recruits f< ih sight.--The State. This does not sound like The State, a E newspaper whose boast has been that it never strikes below tbe belt. The Herald and News does not object to g The State having its own particulare pets and to its patting them on the back as much as it likes, but it isa hardly fair or manly to ascribe to those who do not agree with it in alls things, nor follow its lead blindly, sin ister motives and to speak of thbem asr "nondescript," without specifying. Of course this fling is meanit for :hose. newspapers which did not see the wis dom of endorsing Gov. Hampton's let ter. Some of those same papers have ( done as much for the ConservativeC cause as!The State has ever done or can do, and some of them much more. They have stood up for what they con- < ceived to be right when they knew it was not popular with their constituen cy to do so. They will be found doing the same thing in the future, regard less of what The State may say or think. It is not a question with them of making or losing(suhscribers. The statement contained in this extract] from The State does it neither credit nior honor. THE MT. TABOR SCHOOL. rronble About New Districts and their Location-Mt. Tabor to be Destroyed as a Public School-After Mr. Keitt for Rever.ing his Decision-The Centre Not the Centre. There is a little affair that has )een developed in thiscommunity that )as some interest in it and that is not Mown by the general public. It is :oncerning the Mt. Tabor school. This school was organized some hing like eight or nine years -go into a highschool. It was >rganized from simple necessity. Che school moved on and prospered vith over one hundred students, sup >orting from two to three teachers. All >f these students lived near the school, tone of them having to come over bree mlles--in fact the great majority >f them lived within a radius of less han two miles of the school. There re as many children within the same adius to-day as there was then. The ehool enjoys the same natural ad antage, being as near as it ever was. But Little Mountain grew aid ranted a school of her own. So she ,pplied to the Legislature of 1892 for a ebool district and it was granted. obody blamed her nor did anybody :ick. This district was to be a mile quare -with the depot at that place to >e the center. Mt. Tabor is a little nore than a mi:e from that center. The ines were run leaving her outside of hat district. But there were people vho had set their hearts on the de action of Mt. Tabor so they were lot satisfied. They wanted Mt.. Tabor o be included-in the Little Mountain listrict. So a question of an illegal urvey was raised by persons, who hould, if they would have had the in erest of their school at heart have een satisfied with what had been lone. A new survey was made. In his survey the corners were so made is to include Mt. Tabor in one of hem. Now the object of. all this was not or the benefit of Little Mountain but o take away the advantage of Mt. 'abor's situation and make it unaule o run a public school, that is to take it ut of the regular Mt. Tabor school listrict so that a few selfish parties night secure the school for the district tear themselves. As you may readily ee Mt. Tabor was robbed of her rights o run a school for the siimple reason hat there cannot be two public schools n the same district. Of course the School Commissioner of 'ur county ordered the trustees of his district to re-locate the school. he board wishing to do the right hing after a great deal of hard study nd work, located directly over the Little Mountain line. This tney did n the conviction, from a knowiedge f the district and from the survey, hat it was the center of tbe district, 'ery nearly, and decidedly the practi al center. The facts in the location ,re these : That when the Little Moun ain district was made, it cut directly ato the Mt. Tabor district, thereby eaving the corner of that district tnchanged. But this did hot satisfy 'Sir Oracle" nd others, for they w:,ted in the first lace to get the school as far away from It. Tabor as possible, and in the sec nd place they wanted the school at heir own place of business. Thus a lively fight commenced in thich Mr. Keitt was consulted and ppealed to very occasionally. He de ided that the trustees' location was tear enough the center and that it was he practical seater. But it is a fact hat our honorable School Commis loner is so kind and of such gentle tature that he allows hiuaself to be lietated to by certain powerful bosses f our county. So after he-had been titated to, (accompanied by many a :entle reminder of past favors in a elitical way I dare say) this gentle ommissioner took back all that he ~ad'- decided and decided altogether nother thing, viz: that the center was ot the center and that the school hould be located where it should not e located, and at the said place it was ocated-at the flourishing and mag tificent city of Slighs. All this was one despite the appeals of the trustees f. the district. On what authority I :now not. The old trustees, being ignored and isregarded, resigned and another set ras appointed, which by the way are uen after the manner of their master. The people of M.t. Tabor probably tave the best school building and fur titure in the county. So in preference o being harangued and countenancing Swrong, they opened an independent ~chool at their old place on last Mon ay. This school now numbaers over hirty students an d will probably reach orty. All of this has been done with >ut the loss of any blood and very few >ersonal compliments. Yet someof the tarties engaged have not acted ini the nost honorable way, and they are, I tare say, ashamed of their victory. These are the unadulterated facts in he case and cannot be denied. M.

It will se A,mend the Present Law as to Put all Offendera at the Mercy of Trial Ju tices-Liquor Maybe Imported for One's Own Use, but Only Under Annoying Rules. [Special to News and Courier] COLUsBIA, November 27.-All eyes are centered on the dispensary law and the attitude of the Administration to wards it. There have been several cot ferences among leaders about proposed and needed amendments, and a good deal has been done in tbat line. This evening The News and Courier got these tips on the official bill. There will be a few other amendments, but the dispensary law will remain sub stantially the sane as at present with the exception of these amrendments. The tine in Section 21 is to be read, "not less than ten dollars nor more than one hundred, nor impri-onment for more than thirty days." This is to bring the punishment within the ju risdiction of trial justices. In Section 25 the penalty is to be changed from $>00 to $100, or be imprisoned in the cou.uty jail for not more than thirty days. The clause reading: "In default of paynnt of such fine, tbe party shall suffer additional imprisonment of one year," is to.be eliminated. An intro ductory section will be prepared defin ing what is an intoxicating be" rage and making the limit 2l per cent. of alcohol. The sponsors of the amended bill will abandon the idea of preventing indi viduals from having liquor hauled into the State for their own use, but will try to minimize receipts from that source by placing all possible red tape regulations around such shipments. Tbis flop comes frem high sources. The analysis of the liquor will be done away with in the bill being framed. Provision is to be made for cases of death or resignation of dispenser by vesting the authority to till the vacancy in the county board. Explicit an nouncements are to be 'made of pun ishment. This much of the new bill the News and Courier is at liberty to give. THE DISPENSARY NOT PROHIBITION. The Real Prohibitionists Urged to Arouse -A Convincing Argument-The Dis pensary In No Sense a Prohi bition Measure. [One of several Papers read before the Newberry W. C. T. U.] If the cause of prohibition ever stood in need of the earnest prayers and act ive work of its friends it certainly still needs them; for what has been given us is certainly in no respects what pro hibitionists asked for and voted for. They asked for bread and were given a stone. They asked for prohibition and were given instead State traffic in whiskey. They insisted that individ ual traffic in whiskey was morally wrong and sinful, and they were made participauts in this moral wrong and sin by having the State engage in the tratic. We may say that the Dispensary law bas one or two good features in it. One of these is unquestionably the closing of the dispensaries at 6 o'clock p. in., for it was no doubt under cover of the darkness of the night that the worst often es were committed in the bar-rooms. But we see no reason why the bar-rooms might not have been closed at night by law as the dispensa ries are. The forbidding the sale t' drunkards and minors is .also a good featore. But this was forbidden by law to the bar-rooms also; and it is continually being violated or evaded by the dispensaries just as it was by the bar-rooms. Here in our own town, we are told, the worst drunkard has no difficulty in procuring whiskey through a negro as proxy. As to whether or n 't the forbidding the drinking on the premises is a good feature of the law, I am inclined to think has two sides to it. Under the Dispensary law a whole bottle has to be bought and carried oil the premises to be consumed. It is likely carried home and drunk in the prese:ace of wife and children, the con sumer lying drunk, perhaps, until it is finishsd. Under the saloon system the moderate drinker took a drink or two, perhaps, on the spot, and all its effects had left him before he got home. Or even if he got drunk he likely did not reach home until he was sober, so his family was spared the dis gusting sight of seeing husband and father in a state of beastly intoxica tion. It may then, I think, be ques tionable as to whether selling by the bottle under the Dispensary is any im provement over selling by the drink under the saloon system. .But the most serious objection to the Dispensary, perhaps, is that it tries to make respectable by law what is in it self disrespectable and demoralizing; t hat it tries to make a virtue out of a vice; and that it makes all of us-men, women and children-participants in a traffic which we have been taught to regard as such a terrible moral wrong. The evil effects of thbis law are already plainly visible in the fact that we find people engaging in the dispensaries wbo would never have thought of ae cepting employment in a bar-room; that not only thbose who were consid ered good Christian people, and are members of eburches, engage in the whiskey traffie under the form of dis pensaries, lbut that we find even nin hters of the gos' el,. and, worse still, perhaps, even women, whoj~ have been known as ardent advocates or prohibi tion, engaged in the extraordinary work of apologizitng for and defending these State bar- rooms In view, then, of the dem~oralizing effect already visi ble on some of our peeople, and the (anger that real prohibition maiy have beeni rather driven further off than brought nearer by the Dispensary law, I repeat that if the cause of Prohibi tion ever stood in nee<i of the ear,e?.t prayers and active ork of its friends, it certainuly needs them still. In conclusion, I will read a contrast bet ween Dispensary and Saloon, d rawn by Rev. Mr. Hartz->g, of the Methodist Chureb: "Thbe saloon is an individ ual enter prise, the dispensary is a monopoly. The saloonist is a social outlaw, the dispenser is an officer of thbe law. "The saloonist sins openly; the dis penser screens himself behind the State. The saloon is a fighting rat tle snake in tbe middle of the road; the dispensary is a cold viper concealed in tbe grass. The saloon creates drunk ards; the dispenrsary creates drunkar .s and hypocrites. "The saloonist sells; the dispenser dispenses. Selling is acknowledged to be wrong; dispensing is thought by some to be right. The flotsam and jet sam of social life may sell; the childr-n of God may dispense. The verb 'sell' is changed by law to 'dispense': and by. statutory enactment vice becomes virtue! "The saloon deceives not the moeral sense: the dispensary is the prince of conscience stupifiers. A Christian who would scorn to sell whiskey believes it proper to dispense whiskey. "Verily a new dispensation hath arisen, or perhaps an old one redivivus. Centuries ago the Pope of Rome sold permits to do things fornidden, under te specious name of 'dispenses.' H is tory repeats itself. "If whiskey-selling i.4 right, the State should not have monopiolised a legitimate business; if wrong, the State should not have embarked iu it." IA BRIDEGROOMI AGED 99.
