Our train on the Coast Line was late. We got to Charleston < about nine o'clock. I inquired at the hotel for a decent restaurant. I was reforred to one in the block of the hotel. I went in, ordered my supper. At the table next to me were four young men, not eating, but 1 drinking. They were full wheu I got 1 in ; they were fuller when I got out. When I got back to the hotel I re- 8 marked that there seemed to be more c to drink than to eat at the restaurant 5 they referred mo to. That brought 8 on more talk, and the dispensary, ' with all its characteristics, was dis- n cussed. * VISITED SIX BLIND TIGEKS. j A gentleman standing high in the (inancial and polltioal life in South Carolina proposed to mo that he would show mo something if J would Efo with him, and I uccopted his invitation, and within two blocks he car- o pled me into six full-fledged Charles- o ton blind tigers. lie said there were iOt) of them were raided by the state tnd city constabulary frequently. Cthers were immune; they never had ^ iieen raided. H There are 11 State dispensaries in ft Charleston. I suppose they only do T i small per cent, of the business in iquor. The dispensaries must close ll it (? o'clock in the evening and open si it six in the morning, the names and $ jlnccs of these blind tigers are as y vell-kr own in Charleston as the dotting stores of George Muso and Eisenan, or t he dry goods stores of Cham- lc icrlin-Johnson and Keely in Atlanta. g< Che dispensaries in smaller towns do i largo business, and perhaps the Ii mly business of any of them worth ipeakingof; but they do business, idling bust-heud from 10 cents u lalf pint to 82 u quart. The State s tho wholesale dealer and furnishes ^ ill rtie dispensarios, and the State's 1 irofit is made in their profits as they ^ ell to the county and town dispenaries. For Instance each dispensary >ays the State 12 cents a bottle for F hat popBkull which the town dispenary sells for 15 cents, and has the State chemist on it, reading: "Nothng chemically impure in this liquor." do not know why they do not stamp M in the bottle, "Nothing morally im- m lure either." The one would go as ar with me as the other. p J TENDENCY OF DlSI'KNSAItY. I once favored the dispensary as a jj ilioice between the saloon and the dis- ? rensaiy, for the following reasons: * First, I thought ibe dispensary would A put the bar room crowd Mud the liquor interests out of politics, and we all kiio* ^ rchat a i?otent factor they make: secondly. that the license feature by which the offers of the town and state are emich- ^ ?d, vould be done away with; and third- L ly. because less liquor would be drank. \ But the South Carolina dispensarUs demonstrate that liquor is in politics worse in South Carolioa than auy state In the union. And, secondly, that the 11 taxpayers are getting more money out of ^ it. And thirdly, that there is more liquor drunk out of the dispensaries of South Carolina, in mv candid judgment, " than out of the full fledged bat rooms in I other states. I It will take South Carolina a hundred j years to recover from the effects of the .. dispensary; for dispensary liquor not v only debauches the poor devils that drink it, but the dispensary will debauch the whole state in its politics and morals. I am as much against the open saloon as loon as I ever was. I am as much r against the dispensary as I am against j, the. saloon, and for ihe same reasons. j flreenwood, 8. C , has never had a d spoiiRary. For first class cit zenehip, intel- * l'geuce, moralty and decency she stands o without a peer in that state.' Clinton, S. ,t O., I believe, is another of the same ^ stripe. But wherever you fiud a dispensary you find a debauched sentiment ; and t( growing greed on the part of the taxpay- g els to push its busine8. aud increase its p profits. Ij VIEWS OF MINISTERS. 0 The best elements of South Carolina v are against the dispensary; ihe worst elements of South Carolina are against the 1 dispensary; and these two classes togeth- s er do not make a majoiity In that state, t (t is an anomalous state of things if the j, best and worst elements of eociety be together against any thing. 1 I do not remember that I have met a b un'Kiv. iiiiuioidi iu juu ii miiuuiih, or (is- a vout ChrLtan man. who wasn't against ^ the dispensary; and the worst feature ot the dispensary system is, it lias fastened 11 itself like a leech, and has come to stay. 1 1 would rather undertake to vote the ? saloons out cf Use >n, Atlanta or Savan- j, nah than to m .leiiako to vote the disp .nsaiy out ot Athens or Borne. I have not 1 only got to tight the liquor, but I have n got to tight the profits of liquor that o come to each tax-payer of the county, n and when you touch the average fellow's pocket you hAve hit a vital spot. If any town in Georgia or other slate t< contemplates Inaugurating a dispensary, t let them send a committee of three bon- s est men to Charleston, or Columbia, and . take in also some of the smaller towns, 0 huu mxj iiib unrig as it is. That com- a mtttee will come back and report unfavorably. Keep your saloons until you eau vote them out. but dor't ever oom- , promise by swapping your saloons for the ' dispensaiy.?Sam Jones, io Atlanta r Journal.

Nogro Problem Settled. I wonder if it ever occurred to the ace agitators that negro suffrage in i's >gical analysis means the possibility of ithiopia occupying the White House. Vhy encourage a possibility that must f necessity eventuate in an impossibil,y. For as soon as the ntgro inicates by his conduct that he is indicated with the idea that the ballot uarantees him all of its gumelastic rivileges the Anglo-Saxon will teach ira that the margin between the races an never be diminished. And yet, /ere I as strenuous a republican as toosevelt, 1 would insist on proving the incerity of our expressions of love for lie negro by nominating Booker Wwshagton as his running mate next June, 'hey would not only be companionable, ut consistent in making the campaign rm in arm and glove in hand, as they uttonholed Caffee and Sambo in the invest of leveliug all race distinctions i'rom a patriotic standpoint, this ticket /ould prove a blessing to to the nation, i that it would be a short cut road to lie end of the negro question. The ovelty of such a ticket would soon rub ut, and the thoughtful Northern white lan would see in it the possibility of the ice-president negro becoming, by some ortuitous circumstance president, as in lie case of Roosevelt, and they would ink it on the Ides of next November eneath an avalanche of votes as deep as mill stone in mid ocean.
