THE DISPENSARY'S DEATH
I BLOW.
Judge Simon toe, of the United
States circuit court, filed his decision
in the Vandercook Com
pany's case against the State li'
quor constables last Monday morning,
and granted a temporary injunction
against the dispensary.
This means that liquor can bej
brought into the State and sold in
the original unbroken packages,
thus allowing open competition
with the dispensary. The decision
is practically a death blow to
Iine "great moral jiisiuuuun,
which sprung into existence dur
* ing Gov Tillman's administration.
The State may still sell liquor,
bet it must do so in competition
with other parties, it can no longer
bold for itself a monopoly of
the business, and with this feature
gone the system cannot be made
to pay profits, and so it will in all
probability pretty soon cease to
exist Acording to the decision liquor
firms of the other States may
. establish in South Carolina branch
houses, or private dispensaries, for
such they will be, for they will

principles that the county dispen
sanes are now run on. For the
ijfe present, at least, these individual
arog shops will not have to pay
licenses,and the Stgte will suffer
| from- the lack of revenue until
none plan is suggested whereby
the State can successfully meet
competition. It looks as if the
dispensary will have to be closed
up and prohibition (which would
be enforced in the State under
section 1 of the dispensary act,
which prohibits the manufacture
and sale of liquors in the Stale,
and which section is not affected
by the decision) declared, or
that an extra session of the legislature
will be called to take some
aetioo, but what, is not known.
The dispensary furnishes too many
soft jobs for the officials to give it
up without a severe struggle. 1 he j
State can hardiy make any money
while in competition with outside
dealers, and with the profit feature
eliminated the dispensary system
will no longer be a success. The
dispensary law has been subjected
to all manner of tests and lawsuits,
and it has, so far, withstood
,
them all; but this one was aimed
at its very heart and will doubt
5. less cause its death. The outcome!
of it will be watched with much j

SENATOR McLAURIN.
In appointing congressman Mc
fLaorin to the United States senate
governor Ellerbe made a wise
: selection and one which will meet*
and has met, with the approval of;'
re the State, There is little, if any ' ]
doubt that Mr. McLaurin will be <

the late senator Earle's term, it;

primary is almost acertaiutv, and;
should no primary be held his

are stronger than any one man's

The governor cannot lill this by
appointment, ever lor a day.
Already several names have been
proposed for the place, and there
will no doubt be a lively scrim
mage for the job.
While in Coulumbia last week,
and when it was first said that
Mr. McLnurin v.odld be appointed
senator, we heard several prominent
men spoken of as probable
cunuiuaies ior congress, among
them being Mr. T. M. Gilland of
our town. Mr. Gilland lias since
lold us that he will not enter the
field. Among the others mentioned,
our choice is J. Monroe
Johnson, who is now solicitor of
the fourth circuit. We have known
Mr. Johnson personally, and iu
his official capacity, for a number
of years, and know him to be a
clean, upright, level-headed man,
and one who would ably represent
| us in the congress of the United
States. He is by far the best
tnan vet announced, and no better
or stronger man resides in the district.
It is our hope, and we sincerely
trust, that it will soon be

In inferring to Senator Tillman's
recent speech on theSugar
Trust, the Washington Post said:
k*Mr. Tillman's speech was without
doubt, the most sensational
that the Senate has listened to
in years. He did not mince his
words, but called a spade a spade.
He stood by his desk in the rear
row on the Democratic side, but
also paced up and down the floor,
firing the hot shot of his denunciation
on both Republicans and
Democrats with equal force. His
voice rang through the chamber
and his gestures were characteristic.
He was listened to with care
fill attention, and especially by
Senator Aldrich, to whom Mr.
Tillman's remarks seemed at times
to be personally addressed."
The sixth district, having been
so long represented in congress by
a thoroughbred, will be badly
dissatisfied if, by any mischance,
a plug should get his place.?Columbia

The country awaits the action
of congress with growing impatience,

final passage.? Columbia Daily
Register.
The County Kecord, $Ta year.
Senator Tillman says he intends
to see that there is an investigation
ot the new sugartru?t scandal
lie gives his reasons in the following
language: uThe Senate cannot
afford to let this matter rest
where it is. We cannot ignore
the charges that have been made.
The principal thing for rs to find
out is what influence was back of
the adoption ol that schedule by
the Finance committee. As far
as speculation in sugar stock by
Senators is concerned, I know of
no reason why a senator has not
the same right to risk his money
and gamble in stocks as other men
provided he does not do it on
secret and advance information
which is uot accessible to the pubI
lie, and provided it is not at a
time when his vote in the Senate
would influence the course of the
market." Mr. Tillman says he
will wait a reasonable time to'
allow some older Senator to offer
a resolution providing for an investigation
before doing so himself.
but the investigation will
| certainly be made, if persistency
ion his part will get a resolution
ordering it adopted.?C'heraw
