Be is a kindly, geoiai mao interested1 in the yoong, and particularly approachable, as we well remember, having been thrown icconraet with him on mote than one occasion.

Lt bas- become an invariable custom to make all tbe noise- pos? sible, after each number of the program, an? ti? the performer is forced to return to the stage*. After the encore, the absence of ap? plause is very noticeable. It is peculiar, to say the leasts We copy some disquieting news to? dispen? sary rt es from the Neu? and Courier of Moa - day. The Charleston liquor dealers nave determined to test the constitutionality of the dispensary-hrw in the ?". S.

Io his retirement from newspaper work Mr. Wallace carries with bim the esteem and best wist rs of all tooee woo know bow. to appreciate & "nan and.an editor. There are rumors and rumors of rows pres antaocL wara- to come in the ranks of thc Till ma mies. Tbe Columbia Journal of Mon? day gires it ont as s fact that At the dinner at the Penitentiary last week another bUck list of coat-tail swingers-was made up. and they are henceforth to be gi ?en over to politi? cal destruction,/unle?s. perchance, they should be able to make peace with the ojg bosses who are rating the political roost. Th< following names are the- ones said' to bi written there: ra*. D* l?rans, Attorney General Dcwcsend, James Norton, fiugb Farley, Boper, of. Marlboro, Cole L B?ease and S. A Nettles, all this may be true, but we have serious docbts of it. Tbe Tillman i tai are too anxious to hold on to the offices tc fight among themselves,, and-if they do fight, they can be depended ou to get together ag?ic when opposition to them.is.developed- They may be knaves, bat not- fools.

We stand for obedience to kw at all times, but when there are ftcre ways of obedience than one presrribed, we reserve the right j to select the one most compatible with ou* own views. We also cling to ?-he r?ght, that every citizen ha?, of demanding the repeal of uojVtsr or foolish laws. We may obey such laws, but approving them is another matter entirely.

The South-eastern Tariff Association at a recent meeting- adopted a resolution applying the three-fourths rale on all fire risks io South Carolines escept in the cities of Charlestonand ?blumbsa. With* this mle in force tfeere is-ao use for property owners to meure for more than three-fourths the value of their property ; that is to say if your house ie worth $1,000? don't insure it for more than $750$ fot tba* will be- the largest sam collectible: * Sooner has a? superior system of water worte,. andi when the thorough re-organiza? tion of the fire department is consummated, and the re-organization will take place within a week from this date, there will be no> reason why Snmter should not be placed om the excepted list with Charleston and Columbia. The insurances rates- are entirely too high in Sumter anyway, and* the adoption of this three-fourths- rnpie- ie an additional cause of complaint against the fire insurance compa niss\ T&ere rs- work here for the Board of Trade. Something should' be done about the r?duc? tion of rates of insurance, for we have taxed ourselves to secure water works, in the hope of obtaining both protection against loss by fire and a r?duction of rates. WANTED r TALEN??. The sot joined paragraphs from the Abbe? ville M&Hum may be ao ofi&cial want adver? tisement, oe it raay not, but there is no doubt but that it is a bid for recruits. The bess-re? formers are trying to kick ont of ranks, that is to say, out of office, some of the men who have led the movement and furnished a large* portion of the brains and talent that made the reform- campaign for office successful,, consequent ly they wan-t recruits to fiil up the gape. The reeraits most be "you-ng men of talent and ambition,.1**?nd they must be, of course, devoted disciples of TI-L&&AN and* reform. These young men must have a talent1 for holding the same views-no matter what , these views may be-as the Reformers. They mast also have an atnJbiiion to obtain offices of bono- and trust, with- fat salaries attached. A most laudable ambitioo, from- a reform point of view*, if we judge from the example of such notable leaders as Tillman, Erbyj! Shelly Talbert, Mclaurin and others. Ice venerable Senator from Abbeville County and editor of the Jfedium, goes on to bedail the fact that "Soo many young men are wiliiag to. link their destinies with the crowd-who hare-brought themselves and* fol? lowers to grief," and thereby pays t-he highest compliment to the young men in question. They refuse to be bought over to the flesh pots of reform- at the sacrifice of principle. These young men are cast in a different mould from Abbeville's reform senator,, who was thankful to Gov. Scott fbu the-gift o? a trial justiceship in the days of good) stealing, and declared himself the man to appreciate further favors, asd at is an bonos to? them that they ?re There is still hope for the State when so mu ay of her youog men-are unpurchasable Even their woold-be buyers recognise their ioti?grit>y of prineiple, and everybody should honor the yoong- men. Bere-i8 tbebid for recruits : There area number of promising yoong . men in this-State who might be of; service to their day and generation if they were not so blinded by passion and prejudice. The way to political and judicial honors is open to I- them i? they would discard the men v. ho are leading them to obscurity. They are stand? ing in tbe shadow cf a set of office seekers driven to desperation by loss of power. 1 These young men could get into the line of . promotion without the sacrifice of principle or i tbe lose of self-respect. The fundamental idea of the Reform movement is eqnai rights and no special privileges. Any American ought to be willing to espouse such a prin > ciple. It is sound democracy. The Reformers want young men of talent and ambition to occupy positions of honor and trust and are willing to promote those who i ; hold the same views. Too many young men however are willing to link their destinies with tbe crowd who have brought themselves and their followers to grief. There is ho chance ' foran ambitions young man with that old ? crowd. Too many of their sons and nephews , are hungry for the spoils of office. Until these are csred for thar* i? no chance for the * "hangers on'" who have the burden of the struggle to.bear if they keep up their pres I ent style and method they will fritter awHy I the best years of ?heir lives fighting the battles t J. of others and lobing their own chances for j distinction iu the public, service.-Abbeville 1 j JJ'zaium._ j "J.

Mr. Editur : Ldid not intend to ruiSe you j In the slight'ar about the dispensary law, for ?ia this wurm weather it is necessary to health to keep as. pleasant *s possible With? the light of experience before you, your position, to say the least, is-extremely ''foolish," and if" followed would defeat whit you promised to be a success in :ht>fu<ure towards suppress? ing the liquor business. As a journalist it is your privilege and duty to point ont and con? demn the evils of your city as well as other .places. In this course you will be sustained by all fair m-.nded men. You are against the liquor trafic. So am L You are against the .dispensary. 1 favor it on the ground that it is the part'of wisdom, that in the choice of two evils, always-take the least, and in ibis posi? tion I am in the good company ol such, men as Rev..John G. Williams, of Barnwell; Rev. Henry Mood, of Clarendon; Col. James A. Hoyt, of Greenville;.Senator VS'. H. Tim mer? man, of Edgefield, and others too numerous to mention, who are just as competent a3 you are to j id^e this question. What is the light of your experience ?. At few years ago, with hurd work, Sumter city w ent dry The victory w*s celebrated- witbdoud buzzes. Soon after the bar-rooms closed, it was an open secret j that whiskey could be got in Sumter on the j sly, at '/blind libers." or whatever name city i people cali such places Will you deny this? !

Will you deny iii-*r the dispensan is ??ot at. improve? ment ou i he-sa loon ? ls tu! 'his a long step toward? prohibition by gradually going to? wards that end ? Ii is an eslabiished fact that a long constitutional disease cannot be eradi ?cate?.irom the system at once. A.-k the doc? tors of, >J?:;;;?in it ! HUI not right. The whis? key business is, ! aoi.8orry tosay, engrafted.on our State so strongly *??at the ?7. S Govern? ment can't break lip tilt* t.'?j^t d i^i j I lerios. Now, with this state of affms, we ono no ti wipe tbis gigantic e-ii out at once, besides there is a ssr.?ui? sentiment in the State that this i* noL de*jV<rd at presen L This is the view J-think the legislature took-ot the mat? ter in passing the otspe.itsai v law You ar .j. tnjsed to tiie ??i-tovm?j tu.? opposed to the dispensary, therefore 7011 would ri.?k the be lief that whiskey would be haad'led in Sum? ter or- the "blind tiger" order. If I misun? derstand jou P stand' corrected1. I hold that the dispensary is a long and strong step to? wards prohibition. Under this law hundreds can't get whiskey so often, and* a great many can't get it at all. Is not this an improve? ment ? By having the dispensary there will be 00 necessity for "blind tigers;" anti if after a trial it-is net a success, it carr be re? pealed and something better enacted, or go back to the saloon system*. I would rather a thousand times have the dispensary than run the risk* ef the "binn* tiger" system. Some men will have liquor in some way, law or no law. Tear "belief as to what I believe, is of so abTrd and' foolish-a nett*rer as to not be worth a moment's notice. You-should stick lo the eut je ct and not switch off on something that no sane man would for a moment enter? tain. J-. S 2>; Pisgah, S. G , /une 9, 1893:. [It is gratifying to see that our little illns tration of Test week has convinced E. D." that to slavishly accept any and every enacted law without protest is foolish.

J Judge Bond to the Rescue. Pt is pretty well established that some inter? esting developments in Dispensary matters will be heard of io the near torure. Some time age The News and Courier announced that preparations were making for a new fight against the Evans law,, and now it is well established that that pesdiction is about to be fulfilled. A gentleman, who said he got his informa? tion straight feom one of the retail liquor dealers of tba city, tolda Reporter yesterday that in a few days two prominent young law? yers of. rbis city would leave Charleston for Baltimore, where they proposed to apply to ?Tudge Bond fop an injunction to prevent the State from closing the bar rooms until a chance had been given of testing the constitu? tionality of the law before the Doited States Supreme Court. Should Judge Bond grant the restraining order the matter woulchhave to rest where it now is until some time dun? ing the next winter, when the Supreme Court would: have a chance of-decida ?g it once fdr all. The movement ts being made under the auspices of the retail trade, and it is said that neither trouble nor expense will be spared io carrying it through. They are,, moreover, re? ported to be very sanguine of the success of the scheme. Dealers who secured their licenses for the eatire year are jubilant, while those faint-hearted parties who got out six-months' licenses are now feeling very sore over the matter. Nobody ktaows, of course, exactly what arguments will be presented to the Judge, 'but it is said that the attorneys referred to are [confident thaitbey have a good case. The retail dealers seem to think that iPthe law is preven? ted from? going into effect until after the Legislature meets next fall that that body will acknowledge the errors of; its- ways and repeal the Act. As there is now very little time left for act? ion it is thought that these developments will *ake place within the immediate future. The gentlemen who furnished the informa? tion thought that the next few days would settle the whole matter is one way or another. ~Netcs and Courier, June 12.

"HARRIS' LITHIA WATER, HARRIS- UTHL > SPRINGS, S. C. After ? lone and v?ried experience in the use ot Mineral Waters from many- marcea, both foreign and domestic, 1 am tully persuaded that the Harris Lithia Waterr potactatfc efficacy in the treatment of addictions of the Kidney and Bladder uneqjaled by aay Other water of which I.have made trial. This opinion is based upon observation of its effects upon my patients for the patt three years, during which time 1 have perscribed it freely and aimofit uniformly* with .benefit in the medicable maladies above mentioned. When failuroto relieve has occurred, 1 have imputed it to insufficient use-of the Water,, for my experience teaches me that from one to two quarts daily should be taken from twa to? four weeks to secure its full remedial effects.
