The Mail's Latest Spasm.
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? We leave the

answer to the editor of the Mail.
. 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.

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.

\ .?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

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:! *

Thos. S Austin, Mgr. of the "Republican,"

was not unreasonable, when he refused
to allow the doctors toonerate

he says "we concluded to try
Electric Hitters. My wife was then
so sick, she could hardly leave her

failed to relieve her. After taking
Electric Bitters, she was perfectly
