In its latest spasm the Weekh I Mail insinuates that the editor ol Thb Record thinks himself ? demi-god and that what hi3 pen indites are deemed oracles by his "minions." Now, wouldn't that jai you? Really the Mail's mental capers are so grotesquely funny as tc be laughable if the editor did not take himself so seriously. No, we have no-desire or intention to pose as a demi-god, and we haven't a single minion that we kuow of. We give our opinions on current events as we see fit and ask nobody to accept them. We do not even set up Ionrsell as an opinion moulder, nor do we attempt the oracle stunt. Such Vanities we leave to those more egotistic than we are. Yet we have bur convictions, and as long as he has strength to guide a pencil the editor of The Record purposes to stand by what he conceives to be right regardless of consequences. Surely he can do this without being charged with arrogating to himself the attributes of a demi-god. That the voting out of the dispensary in Williamsburg county need not raise the tax levy more (than one mill we have given as our opinion and adduced reasons to Bhow why. It is needless to go Over all this ground again. Already ft has grown irksome quoting Onrself answering the Mail's same old stereotyped questions. At last the Mail admits that onehalf the total revenue from the local dispensaries goes to the towns. , v That's right, brother, own up. Why > didn't you say so at first? Now, ' "Which get the lion's shafe the people of the towns or the people of the v country? Bat the Mail has found a "nigger in the woodpile." Here is its "pointed answer to a pointed question." Question: Out of whose pockets comes the bulk of the mon!Iv cy from which the dispensary profits jfo aocrue, the town people's or the country people's? Answer: Out of the pockets of the negro. Q. And wheie does the negro get the money to buy his liquor? A. From the product of the cotton fields. Q. Whose cotton fields? ^ A. The white people's. Q. Town or country people's?

If what our friend claims is true no wonder that crime and lawlessness stalk abroad through the land. Make the negro drunk in order to f ? get his monej to educate our chil1 dren. We ask au enlightened and Christian people how this comports with the teachings of Jesus of Naz ereth? As poor an opinion as we have of the dispensary law we can1 not believe that its framers had in ' mind any such devilish scheme to make money as the editor of the Mail suggests. What amount of money would atone for a single act of a rnm-maddened fiend against the chastity cf a white woman or for the life of a brutally murdered white man. Our friend vould say, perhaps: "Oh, the State will punish the criminal/' Yes, the State makes him drunk by furnishing the liquor?that's certain. The State may punish the criminal but that is sorry comfort to the poor victim after the crime is committed. But in its questions put to us October 19, the Mail says (see question ( 6): "A large majority drink whiskey." Does our contemporary mean this to apply only to negroes? Or perhaps it forgot having made that statement. If it includes white men in that "large majority"?and it I certainly does?these also must needs contribute co the educational fund, possibly more so tbau the negro, since they buy better grades of liquor and the profit thereon is greater. The fact is our friend has gotten into a sad mess in his argument and will need all his "logic" to extricate himself therefrom. We could i ub it 111 harder but will refrain, as we do not like to hit a man when lie is down. A Few Questions. Since the dispensary partisans seem to have shifted their argument to a^ interrogative form we take the liberty of asking our friend, the editor of ihe Weekly Mail a few questions. Auswer fairly and squarely now?no dodging. 1. Do you believe that a true pro FOLEYl Prevents Brig You Si to ALL YOU HAVE T ounty. Every One Knows 1 ? ELEGANT I \STIDIOUS. ELEGANT LINE P a: LIME, S ENABLING US TO GIVE YO jr Chi WILL We Handle I he Best Line 1UNS GSTRI Certain dispensary organs have I tried to stir up prejudice by predict-) ing that the ]>rohibitionists would put a State ticket in the lield next year and have eve* been so kind as to suggest certain candidates for governor on the ticket. The prohibition State executive committee, at the meeting held in Columbia last week, put a quietus on these "inspired" soot h-savers by adopting resolutions opposing any such step. Tl... .x.. . . 4 BjPBBB /IUHI" 11 ^vnibitionist could vote for the sule \ .?f liquor in any form? r * 2. Are yoiwrew, or have you ever been a prohibitionist? 3. Under the dispensary, system don't you know that the sale of liq- J nor is increasing in volume fromj vear to year? How then can vou ar-! gue that the Jaw is restrictive? a \v Anlil rnn a nnsifinn as dispenser or on county or State board of control at any salary? If not, why not? 5. Between the dispensary law, us it stands, and prohibition (the two questions to be voted on in the pending election) which do you think preferable? G. Do you believe that the present anti-dispensary agitation is in any sense a political move aimed at the defeat of Senator Tillman? If yes, why do you think so? 7. Don't you know that the towns | of Kingstree, Lake City and Scrantoilj^get about $7,000 dispensary protits, not a cent of which amount is shared by the people outside of; the said towns, and that the towns j also get their prorata share of the ( profits that go to the county? Build Warehouses. Just at this time, when the whole 1 South is arrayed against the specu- . lators of Wall Street who are trying j f to hammer down the price of cotton j in the face of an admittedly short ] crop, a crying need for storage ware- , houses is felt. The next thirty days will probably decide the question of sunremacv between the "bulls" and J 1 " ] the''bears*'for the present season, at least, and the outcome of the ] struggle is fraught with momentous interest to every cotton-producing 1 State. The Cotton Growers' as- I sociation is making a brave tight, . and, everything considered, the ; farmers have stood by the associa- < tion right loyally up to this time. ( Now, if so gallant a fight can be 1 made by forces imperfectly organized j with only a few scattered ware! houses, what might be accomplished i ! with a regular system of standard warehouses in every county? Farsighted business men in some coun- ? ties of this State have already built ' warehouses for storing cotton und r 1 -J l-? - ? rt f A??A | we nave goou reason w uoj?t- u:ai nc j many mouths a company will be or- j jganized to.bnildone'here in Kings- i tree. j The battle is on, and it is to be a 1 t fight to the finish. If the South j. loses this year it will be a back-set that will mean Wall street domination for years to come. The eyes of the world are upon the farmers |12 of the South and it is no time for half measures. Let the slogan be:! * ? ia "Hold your cotton and build ware-! I houses."

MAN'S UN REASONABLENESS. is often as groat as a woman's, but Thos. S Austin, Mgr. of the "Republican," of Leavenworth, Ind., was not unreasonable, when he refused to allow the doctors toonerate on h's wife for female trouble "instead" he says "we concluded to try Electric Hitters. My wife was then so sick, she could hardly leave her bed, and five (5) physicians had failed to relieve her. After taking Electric Bitters, she was perfectly [ ured, and can now perforin all her household duties." Guaranteed by Dr \V V Brockieton druggist, price 3Uc.
