The passage of the South Car
olina dispensary law amend
ments, their attempted enforces
ment, the adverse decisions of
the courts and the resulting
agitations are matters of fami
liar recent history. The cam
paign for the Gothenburg sys
tem in Massachusetts, though
finally unsuccessful, was pro-
..$i.oo ductive of much good. One of
.50 Its indirect results was the un
dertaking of an investigation by
the Bureau of Statistics of La
bor as to the relation of the li
quor traftie to crime, pauperism
and insanity. Such an investi
gation if conducted in a scienti
fic spirit can be made immensely
valuable to all interested in the
temperance reform movement
in its vanous phases. Kentucky

organized for the purpose of in
sisting upon a price of fifty
cents a hundred for picking cot
ton. Stirring harangues were
made by the leaders, and resolu
tions were passed to the effect
that anyone who picked cotton
for less than the price named
would be flogged. An effort to
put these high handed measures
into execution by taking it out
on the back of a luckless darkey
who offendeu against them al
most led to a riot at Harlin City.

law requires that the question
of license be submitted to popu
lar vote (not oftener than once
in three years), on petition of 25
per cent of the voters. As a
supplement to the prohibitory
law of Iow a, the last Legisla
ture adopted a scheme of taxa
tion under which every one in
the State engaging in the busi
ness is compelled to pay $000
annually; but this tax is not to
be construed as legalizing the
sale of liquors, and license can
only be granted on petition of a
majority of the voters in cities
of 5,000 and over, and of 05 per
cent of the voters in smaller
places. We find that Utah has
taken steps to enforce a more
rigid prohibition of Sunday li

cheerfully paid fifty cents a
hundred, because they could af
ford to do so; but when pickers
are paid thirty-five cents a hun
dred on cotton that sells for six
cents a pound, they receive a
far greater proportion of the
profits than when cotton is sell
ing at nine or ten cents a pound,
and they are paid fifty cents a
hundred. Besides, whether the
price paid is a just one or not,
is nobody’s business except in
so far as it affects each man’s
individual right of action. If
the price suits him, he can go
ahead picking: if it doesn’t, he
can let it alone. When it comes
to interfering with the rights of
others to the extent of deciding
for them whether they are being
paid enough for their labor or
not, and of enfoicing his decis
ion with a strap, Cuffy will find
that he has undertaken a bigger
contract than he can fulfill, and
one that he will be heartily sick
of before he is through with it.
We repeat: let him take warn

TO RIVAL "THE KING”
Excellent arrangements have
been made for handling the to
bacco crop here this seas in. A
large number of buyers will be
on hand ready to pay the very
highest market prices for the
weed, and the present lessees of
the Warehouse are evidently
experts who understand their
business; so it is safe to predict
that there will be no tobacco
market in the State ahead of|
Darlington. Our people are de
voting more and more attention
to this crop every year. With
