STRETCHING THE LAW.
Governor Tillman does not
mind stretching the dispensary
law to suit his own purposes.
He has stretched it all out of
shape. Indeed one can scarce
ly recognize it as the Act pass
ed by the Legislature. The
reason the Governor generally
gives for his course is that his
construction of the Act, if it be
not the law, is “common sense.”
This is a dangerous position for
an officer, charged with the ex
ecution of the laws as they ap
pear upon the statute book, to
take.
The Governor gave the dis
pensary law the greatest stretch
last week. Mr. Jackson, the
proprietor of a hotel in Charles
ton, and Mr. Chatfield, the pro
prietor of a hotel in Aiken, ap
peared before the Governor last
week and stated that many of
their guests are Northern tour
ists who often wish drinks that
are not sold at the dispensary
or else call for liquor after the
dispensary is closed. This con
dition of affairs, the hotel men
said, tends to make the tourists
pass on to other States. The
Governor deplored the situation
but he was equal to the emer
gency with his “common sonse”
construction of the law.
He made the hotel men clerks
to the dispensary and had the
kinds of liquor they wish to sell
to their guests ordered through
the State dispenser. The hotel
men are to keep these liquors for
sale in their hotels and are to
make reports of their sales to
the county dispensers.
The law provides that liquor
shall only be sold by the regu
larly appointed dispenser and
only at the dispensary. How a
hotel man can legally keep li
quor for sale at his hotel is be
yond our comprehension. If
liquor may be kept for sale in
hotels in Charleston and Aiken,
why cannot it be kept in every
hotel in the State ? Why not
in the hotels in Darlington ?
And if it may be sold in hotels,
what becomes of the boasted
safeguards that the dispensary
throws around the liquor traffic?
What is to keep the hotel bar
from remaining open all night
and the liquor from being adul
terated ? What is to keep drunk
ards and minors from obtaining
liquor at the hotels? We have
been told that the dispensary
system would stop all these
abuses but the governor’s “com
mon sense” construction may
open the flood gates again.
If the Governor had been half
as liberal in his course towards
railroads, banks, factories, phos
phate industries and the like as
he has been towards his pet
scheme, the dispensary, South
Carolina would now be more
prosperous. If he had exercised
his “common sense” in behalf
of Northern capital as he did
for the Northern tourist, money
would not be so scarce.
But there is more yet involved
in the Governor’s stretching of
the law. It is bad for him to
try to enforce a law, especially
an unpopular one, while he
himself infringes ’ipon it.
THE PEACEFUL RAID.
There are people who are hos
tile to Darlington. They wel
come any occurrance that would
injure the interests of the town.
They use abuse of Darlington as
a means of self advancement.
These people would gladly have
seen trouble arise, and, indeed,
predicted that it would arise,
from the first raid in Darlington
under the dispensary law. They
are doubtless disappointed that
the raid on Friday last had such
a peaceful issue—they did not
get the sweet morsel, which
they expected to roll about on
their malignant tougues. No
resistance was made to the law
and nothingojcured from which
political capital could be made.
The enemies of Darlington must
be disappointed. What they
have been eagerly waiting for
never came.
The truth is the people of
Darlington have been greatly
maligned for politichl purposes.
This has been donq by men who
know they can only thrive by
keeping alive the feeling against
the town. Our people have re
spect for the majesty of the law
and will not resist its enforce
ment, if it be done properly.
They know what the Sheriff’s
duty is and they will not en
deavor to thwart him in his at
tempt to perform it. Conse
quently when the Sheriff made
his search on Friday, armed
with the proper papers, neither
interference nor truble was giv
en him by the party whose
premises was searched or by
anybody else.
The search was gotten at in
the right way. The proper of
ficer made it with the proper
papers. There will be no trou
ble so long as the law is enforc
ed in a way to command re
spect. It is the abominable spy
system that causes liberty lov
ing people to resort to harsh
measures. Right-minded men
loathe a man who will pry
around and worm himself into
one’s confidence and then betray
it. These spies are often inter
lopers—strangers sent here
from other places purposely to
spy upon our home people.
They often, too, make searches
and seizures without a warrant
or any sign of authority save a
badge. This is usurpation and
it will make the most law-abid
ing citizens rebel. The peace
ful raid in Darlington on Friday
points strongly to a moral: Let
the law be enforced properly.

One of Tillman’s spies was
taken in here last week. He
was informed in some way that
a suspicious box was in the de
pot consigned to one of the
faithful near town, who
should patronize the dispensary
instead of wholesale dealers of
spirits beyond the State. The
spy obtained a warrant and
called on the agent for the said
box which the agent delivered
to him. The spy opened the
box but to his surprise it con
tained only sawdust, as the con
signee haa several days before
taken bis jug out, nailed up the
box again and left it in the de

Pure Sugar is a good thing to be

The watchful grocer is careful

This is the only way in which a
