THURSDAY, NOV. 9, 1905 Replying to the Mail. ;t It is_?he Mail agaiu, The dis r?- SeriSSfy "orgin" grinder has his dau aer up because we have dared U raise our voice in protest agaiusl pe.petrating the institution he ha* taken under the aegis of his protee tion and m the trenzy ot his man ness makes faces at us like a drivel? iog dotard. He spits and struts and struts and spits. Spits like a Thomas-cat on a back yard fence and struts like a red-necked turkey gobbler that is liable to "getit in the neck'' about a week before Thanksgiving. See him spit! Watph him strut! ?"V j "Most ignorant when he's most assured, His glassy esseuce, like an angry ape, - ~ Cute such fantastic capers before high : heaven. ; As make angels weep." The complete 'flunk''he attributes to us is the highest compliment that could emanate from such a source. We venture to say that no other man, woman or child who read it construed our reply to his first question to be an admission that the people had endorsed the dispensary. If we have conceded a siugle one of the Mail's points we challenge the "orgin" to specify. The Mail seems to think that when a thing in an experimental stage, propped up by promised improvements later on, is -tolerated for a time, that is equivalent to endorsing it. As a matter of fact the dispensary question has rnever been voted on by the people of Williamsburg and the Mail knows it. Why keep on gnawing a file? Our friend says he thinks he's got us in a hole. Maybe he does think so. His imagination is 60 distorted as to cheat him rnto believing 'most any old thing he wauts to. One thing is sure?if we are in a hole the editor of the Mail occupies a very prominent place in the sub* w a n , i a. way unaerneatn. uui our conieuiporary is.delightfully optimistic in p ' his imaginings. When his argument is torn to tatters he patches the rags together and imagines it looks jost as good as new. Now look at this: ? "The Record says it has never claimed that a majority of the people in Williamsburg are prohibitionists. Very good. If the majority % are not for prohibition where is the public sentiment coming from that will enforce prohibition?*' As usuJ the Mail tries to distort what we say by only partially quoting a paragraph. In connection with the fore going we stated plainly that the election this month would not determine whether or not a maioiitv T ?" % w w favored prohibition. Of course if the majority isn't there the G M I won't be voted out but will continue doing business at the old stands, and the blind tigers which the Mail de -*-?clares are now doing business in this county and are not suppressed, will grow bolder and multiply when the good people of Williamsburg put their seal of approval on the liquor traffic. But they have not done sc yet and we do not believe they wiil. The covert insinuation as to the motive of the editor of The Record weihink is uncalled for. What ulterior motive could we possibly have ? The Mail claims that the peoph Have WE HAVE THEM At\ brought to This C TOST F; * * of the county have endorsed the dis pensary; therefore, in its estimation that is the popular side, and the edi tor of the Man is in j>ohtics; yet w< would not be mean enough to evet indirectly accuse him of taking tin stand he has with the view of furth ering his political ambition. \V< confess that we do not know whicl is the popular side and we nevei stopped to consider that phase of tin ^ matter. The editor of The Rec 5 okd has no political axe to grim nor does he aspire to any office whatever may be the outcome of tin present agitation. i "To this question (No 4) Tin 1 x . 1 . 1 f . ( uecoru quores us wean ueieuse ui . some weeks ago, etc. He admit: - that it would be foolish to lose tin - reveuue if the amount of liquor sole will not be diminished,'* says the s Mail, and adds that it agrees witl us and that this is the first sa*u 1 thing we have \et said on the sub 1 ject. Well, we might retort witl 1 equal truth that the Mail has yet te say anything on the subject that i: not weak and silly, but that wouh be no argument. Of course it wouli be foolish to vote out the dispensary and let as much liquor as ever b< sold. There is no "admission' about it. If we have ever said aughl fo the contrary kindly cite us whet and whe:o. And we believe that il the people of Williamsburg hav< } the inauhoed to rid the county oi the dispensary incubus they an ' going to do all in their power to enforce prohibition. Now for the Mail's grand coup. We really hate to prick our friend': bubble of conceit that his wheezy 1 old bellows has blown up, but he:< ' goes: The Mail quotes from our editorial of September 2$: "The argument the Mail offers that a mad who votes against the dispensary is not necessarily a prohibitionist, is moie ingenious than ingenuous. Under the Briee law the people are confronted squarely with the option between prohibition and dispensary. The high license man, the bar-room and bliud tiger cut no figure at all without a change of the constitution. When a man votes against the dispensary he casts his ballot for prohibition, and a conscientious voter iu so doing must feel morally bound to support what he has helped to establish. The high license, bar-room and bliud tiger bugaboos are largely imaginary auy way and sensible people take them at their true valuation." Then from October 26: The Record certainly will not be SO looiisn as 10 unaeriuse iu pru*e that a man who votes a "no dispensary" ticket is for prohibition, aud not for blind tigers, high license or something other than prohibition. The Mail asserts that such a man would \ote for something else,therefore upon our friend rests the burdeu ot pioof. Our esteemed coutempoiary might just as well declare the moon to be made of green cheese and challenge us to prove that it is not, if we ventured to express a different opinion. This is a fair illustration of the Mail's inane "logic." "On September 28," says the Mail, "our friend undertook to prove thai the man who voted against the dispensary is a prohibitionist." We undertook nothing of the kind and how the Mail can have the brazen effrontery tc try to make us say something that we did not, with evidence to the contrary staring it in the face the while, surpasses comprehension. On September 28 we saul that when a man votes against the dispensary he casts his ballot for prohibition. Well, isn't that true? He may be at heart a bar-keeper, blind-tiger or anything else, but when there are but two tilings to vote for?dispensary and prohibition?when he votes against the dispansary he certainly casts his ballot for prohibition. On October 26, to theiMail's modest demand that we prove that the ; man who votes a ''no dispensary" FOLEY Will Cure Any Ca Not B< VoiTs W ALL YOU HAVE 1 bounty.

' ticket is for prohibition and not for ? high license, blind tigers, etc., We [replied that we would not be so Kfoolish as to undertake any such .hing. We are not a mind-reader f and cannot say that every man who I casts his vote for prohibition is for : prohibition at heart, any more tlnu * we could assert that every man who i votes for the dispensary is a dis j pensaryite at heart. We have known | some of the latter to claim to be, > good prohibitionists kiat heart " but ' as a rule, its a safe proposition that: what a man votes for he is. The prohibitionists who vote for the dispensary are about as scarce as the high-license, blind-tiger and baii room people, who vote for prohibii tion. We didn't expect our friend to agree with us that his question No! 7 was uou-sensical. In all bis life; we doubt if he ever said or did an , unwise thing, in his own conceit. If die didn't suggest that liquor would | be ordered from other counties why ' did he use the expression, "Wil- j liamsburg county will be surrounded with dispensaries, each of j her neighboring counties hating, them?will it be impossible, or even ! hard to get whiskey?# Now we! leave it to any unprejudiced pefeon - - - * i ' capable of understanding a snnpie . English sentence as to whether in ! the foregoing our friend does not j imply?and that very strongly? that whiskey could be ordered here! from our neighbor counties. ? If not non-sensical then he is wilfully misleading in his'expression. In this discussion the editor of the Mail is ill 6iiited to the role of pedagogue. His own foolish blunders and egregious vanity would make him the laughing stock of the school. The fitting place for the soi-disant^ teacher would be at the ''foot'' of the class. The Mail still howls about our misquoting it. We have twice apologized for the single time we did so. ! The other alleged misquotation we deny, and the Mail's own conipaii- i son shows that as much as wu used ! of its language was quoted correct-1 ly, as any one of ordinary intelli-1 gence can plainly see: "We believe that whiskey is in ' itself an evil and should never 1h* taken except for medicine; that its I sale should be under State police .is Atlirn- rmlilip pvil 1 fg U IUCIUU 140 am vvu\> |/??..v. ??ml not put,in the hands of imli-. viduals; that only pure whiskey in small quantities should be sold; that no drunkard should be allowed to buy; that the law should be closely' guarded and all corruption punished; that no dispensary oflicial should be elected by the legislature; that dispensers be electeu in the primary; and that every possible restriction Wliiskej I Morphine I Clj habit, I habit, I t Cured by KEELEY I 32 Ladv St.(or P O.Iiox 75) Columbia.S.C.
