"Out of the Frying Pan. "
Mr W F Clayton, the offensive
and defensive self-constituted champion
of booze for the Pee Dee section,
having, we suppose, killed and
eaten all the prohibitiouists in Florence
county, sighs for new worlds to
conquer. In quest of adventure and
to up-hold the red banner of rum,
A he mounts his Kusinante aud, armed
cap-a-pie with sword and bltiuderbuss,
sallies forth into Williamsburg
to stab and shoot the poor, defence1
less editor of The Record.
Far from the terrific onslaught
we anticipated, however, his attack
is puerile and pitifully weak. Is his'
trusty blade so rusted with the gore
of his victims as to disqualify it for
cambat? Has his deadly blunderbuss
been overcharged with blunders
aud busted? We fear our good
H knight wore himself out vanquishing
his foemen at home.
From Mr Clayton's rambling and
incoherent argument aud^ .his misuse
/ of Scripture, we gather that he
deems a druukard not worth trying
to save by removing liquor from un-,
der his nose. How can prayers and !
exhortations avail when there is a
State-licensed grog-shop conveniently
near and the devil to tempt lam
by whisperiug in his ear the same
argument that you, Mr Clayton,
use: "Drink on! You're a patriotic ,
citizen. You buy your liquor and
the prolits go to educate your childreu."
Aud the poor, fatuous fool
demonstrates his patriotism
and fatherly love by drinking
on untii his children are without decent
clothing to attend the rum-endowed
institutions of learning.
No, Mr Claytou, whether you believe
it or not, all of these men
wo lid not send to North Carolina
for liquor if the dispensaiies werej
closed. Aud even if but oue indi-;
vidual in a county were rescued j
from the clutches of whiskey it
would be worth the price, for what
on earth can be compared in value
to a human soul?
But the drunkard is an extreme,
type. Hon- about the young man
who takes an occasional dram? He
I
can easily stop now, but will he do;
so with a dispensary invitingly open
every time he goes down town? Then i
the school-boy, who is naturally im- j
itative, seeing men going 111 and out j
of the dispensary day by day -soon- j
er or later he will slip around and
get a half-pint of whiskey or a but- j
tie of wine just to see what it is>
like.
So you think Williamsburg people
need bibles and missionaries?in
other words, we, along with the rest
of the State, are in the same category
with the desperadoes of Breath-;
att county,Kentucky, and the moon-'
ishiue districts of North Carolina. i
If thai be true we are indeed in
^ bad shape and the preachers, being
5i part of us, are heathen too, so who
is to reform usy Perhaps you, who
are so glib in quoting Scripture,
might tuimyour talent to better advantage
thlm boosting the dispensary
and try 1 ug to fasten on us forever
an institution whose influence
e,
is degrading. If you had a better
cause we believe you could make a '
better argument and possibly be.
conie the lever of Archimedes to lift j
up us poor fallen humanity in Wil- j

You say that prohibition is a
ghost. Well, that reminds us of
the conundrum, "if the devil were
to lose his tall where would he go
to get another?'' Answer. "To a
dispensary where they retail evil
spirits."' So you see your pet is
elosoh associated with evil spirits if
not with good ghosts.
The fact that the dispensary sales
are increasing from a half million
to a million dollars a year is pretty
<ro.nl ..v-i11 .'111. fleit fill- sV-Uelll does
V .??%* ..vv v..?v - - -J
not restrict the sale of liquor, votir
opinion to the contraiy notwithstanding.
Von a s s c r t most dogmatically
that prohibition would be a
failure. The dispensary has had
long enough time to work out its
destiny. It is no longer an infant
industry, '.'lie difference between
the two is thai you think that prohibition
would not prohibit, while
you dare not deny tiiat the dispel^
sarv is eatacombed with fraud, graft
and robbery, so that its own "daddy"
has charged the State board
with being a set of thieves.
Now you come to the money feature.
That's business. The rest
is merely a sort of introduction.
Your real argument is from the
standpoint of revenue. Do you
know how much the public schools
in Williamsburg get from the dispensary;"
Seventy-four cents per
pupil. The people you are so exercised
about receive something like
eighteen cents per capita. Taxes
are higher than before the dispensary
system was inaugurated, so
where is the real benefit from a
monetary standpoint?
We agree with you that we are
in the frying-pan, being burned to a
crisp. Would the tire be worse?
May be we shall jump out of your
frying-pan and at the same time
out of the tire. Nous veirons.
It appears that an erroneous impression
has gone forth as to the action
of the county Cotton Growers'
association at its meeting here Saturday.
Those who attended this
meeting were enthusiastic in their
endorsement of the work of the
Southern Cotton association and in
adopting the resolution making- ten
cents the minimum price for cotton
it was far from their puipose to disregard
the recommendation of the
association. As the matter was explained
to them it was left largely
to their discretion as to what limit
they should make and the sole reason
why the motion prevailed for
ten instead of eleven cents w <s that
in view of the fact that there are no
ware-houses 111 the county for storing
cotton it was thought that a
much larger proportion of the farm11
i. . 1?1.1 f..,. f?tl
ers coniu auoru to xium uut kji ?.!
cents than for eleven. The matter
was discussed fully and the motion
carried by a vote of more than two
to one.
The argument of many dispensaryites
is about as follows: "I am
a prohibitionist at heart but I am
going to vote for the dispensary because
prohibition won't prohibit and
the dispensary don't either, and if
we had prohibition there would be
blind tigers, which 1 know we have
now, and 1 admit there is corruption
in the management of the dispensary,
but some day the legislature
will tix it so that it will be better
than it is now and, if we have pro
hibition it won't prohibit and then,
you know, we get a lot of money
from the dispensary that we wouldn't
get if it were done away with." Yet
they accuse some who intend to vote
against the dispensary of hypocrisy.
Senator Tillman at Marion: *'I
know some of you boys want your
little dram and I want you to have
it." And the distinguished Senator,
lOO. professes to be a prohibitionist
at heart!
Good advice to women, if yon i

'ike it. 35 cents, Tea or Tablets.
