JANUARY 3i, ISCi. i THE DISPENSARY. If a bill now be/ore I be let;islafure passes that body, county dispensers will hereafter be elect-j cd by the people. The dispensary system is preferable lo tiie obi bar room, vel there are many objectionable features that will have! to be weeded out. The people! are gradually getting their eyes! op*!,. We cannot speak for any! county except Williamsburg, but the whole thing has been run as a political machine in this county! * . s from the day it was llrs.1 intro-' ducod up lo the present time. The j dispensary* is the largest business | concern in South Carolina to-dav, i * and if Williamsburg county is to be taken as an example ot the way : it has been run, it is ivr.tam'y at | a low ebb as regards business; management. The Kings!ree dispensary lias certainly taken in more money j ' than any other jusincss concern in Kinsislree since its ii.t roduelon.! and yet I donbt it any of the men I have acted as dispenser, here' could keep a set of books or would toro ('vpn thought of aonlvinir *MJ% * w ^ ^ r i * c- . lo any ruercMant in town lor such j a position; simply because they! know theycould not haveTilled the' hill, and yet they did not hesitate to ask tor this posiiiou. Eliminate politics from the (lis-' pensary, make it an elective office,1 and let each candidate come be-.! j lore the people,and they can then ! betterjudgeot their (qualificationsj and fitness for the position, and let a man be elected to the office; who could get a position as book-! keeper in some of our largesl ; stores, not on his politics, and who! will i nn the dispensary on a high business plane and observe the' % j jules laid 'own by law, and iu a j short time a different state of: tilings would exist and we would; bear of no more dispensary shortages or other irregularities* coin! liected with it in South Carolina.! . t OUR COUNTRY SCHOOLS. Cannot our school teachers' ] throughout the county give us articles on educaiion, country schools, their improvement and; many other things along this line? ft would be a greet pleasure as well as source of satisfaction lor the teachers to thus interchangei their views and ideas: and these articles upon these subjects would tend to refine and upbuild our Blinds. We say cou-nlrv schools because they are the ones that are so badly in need of improvement. Just think of the great number of! of children not in any school at all j and many of those that are at j fechool might almost as well be at hel|iihg their parents lor j J ' little benefit they are deriving ;.om -chco':. Wiii some oeueiKed leacher.~ive uk sug^ 'im ., as to how we j may, most succt tully create enthusiasm enough amortg the patrons of country schools, to cause them to awaken from the dreadful slumber of indolence and came them to repair their dingy, weather beaten and unfinished school houses. Also how to induce our teachers to siuJy their profession, and train themselves lor better work, so that they may he more worthy ol the position I hey now hold. The public schools are the hope of the youth, the hope oi the nation, ami unless there js improve ment in our schools how c.ri the nation grow in prosperity. We are particular'^' anxious that tiie city lathers should do something looking to the health ol Kingstree lor the coming summer. The time when measures should he taken is rapidly passing away. It may be that the pies-J ent council is too busy with their own affairs to look after the in terests of I lie (nun. The principal businessof Kingstree is now done on Wad Street. The writer well remembers when the business portion of Kmg>iree extended from the river up to the Court House on Main street, and now you might say there is only one store left in that section, and now tiie business is all east of tlie Court House, 'ihe last ten years j has worked wonderful changes inj Kingstree. Nearly all the old! landmarks are gone, the signs and ! names that once stood over the! doors are oo longer to be seen, and i their places have been taken by others. The old familiar form.-j and laces that once moved on j our streets are no more and their] places have been filled by others.! Thus is life. Time passes, an J we ! move along: gently with it until we too pass away almost belore we realize it. CHARTER GRANTED Election of President and Directors of The C. W. Wolfe Pub ishlng Co.
