It seems to nut that the stand yon occupy concerning the ellort that if being made to vote out the dispensary in Spartanburg is the right one. I as a temperance advocate, favored the establishment of the dispensary system from the date of its inauguration until the present time. Meantime I have seen nothing to change my views as to the general practicability and wisdom of 11 lis system of handling whiskey. If the same energy which is l?oing displayed to vote out the dispensary were exercised in an effort to see it that all tin; legal provisions of tin dispensary law were rigidly enforced, it seems to me, the dispensary system would continue to be generally regarded as the best solution of tin whiskoy problem that human wis (loin has yet suggested. What an its most prominent features? It provides that those who vend the liquor shall themselves he sohet men; that they shall not sell t< habitual drunkards; that they shall not sell to those who are already under the influence of lixuor; that they shall not sell to minors or persons under age; that they shall not sell before sun-rise nor after sun-set; that they shall not allow the liquor to he drunk on the premises. In addition to the foregoing restrictions it is provided that there shall he no place of amusement connected with the place where the liquor is dispensed?such as pool or billiard tables, howling alleys, eetc. No voluptuous pictures are to I hi on exhibition or anything calculated to excite the passions of the youth. I quote from memory, hut the foregoing are the leading features of the law. If all these provisions of the law were rigidly carried out would not the dispeftsary lawl>e the 1 M'st solution of this vexed problem? Now w hat are we offered, by our enthusiastic friends to take the piaee 01 me dispensary? J hey answer prohibition and what does prohibition in Spartanburg mean? It is a fact that four-fifths of thej male population of this city and! county drink liquor to a greater or less degree, and that this vast multitude will not suddenly l>c made to discontinue this habit because they | 'air' * in Buy Fo FROM...... in Mills Departn equal to any sold in Union, p Flour, per barrel per box 7 bars for y, 3 cans for >r bushel ational Biscuit Com You can get what y r you buy Tobacco yo prices.

The ii country will he headquarters for g mountain hloekaders, when the f< colored brother and white boys will o have a jolly time, and pandemonium j will reign in general. Let us not si thus turn things loose and vote out f< i the dispensary until we get some- c thing better to take its place. o lie is no student of history, or has a knowledge of human nature * ! that does not know that poor fallen tl man will have something intoxieat ing to drink. Our ncighltors of the ' South make ruin from sugar cane. ? i Franco, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland ^ and other mountainous countries n ' drink wine because grapes grow v' ' among the rocks of their mountain regions where nothing else will ' grow, so that wine is almost as cheap as water. The Mexicans I drink polgus, the Oormans drink larger; the Americans drink corn ' and rye liquor. 01 I* : > 1 * ii i> a nouecanic lact that two!tjj very distinct classes arc most active in the prevailing raid against the 11 dispensary just now on. The one 1,1 consists of the good intended moral- tli ists, who mean well, hut who over- ' to looked the fact that one cannot force morality into a people nolens . volenti. The other is the old bar-,lu room element, and the hlockaders. ' su The one is doubtless actuated by of humane motive while the other is bi strictly selfish and does not eon- h|i sider tlic public welfare. "Politics pi make strange bed-fellows." ik 1 it is a well established principle l)r in our American policy that the 1,1 luxuries ought to Itear the burdens of trxation. Liquor is a luxury, '* and is now yielding a large revenue l)r to the people, which we suppose is wisely and economically appropriatjed. Should the dispensary be ',a voted out we vote away this money w< and still have the luxuries without to paying for them. It is but human ni( for us all to Ik; solicitous for the well-being of our children and to wo remove everything we can that is calculated to tempt them to evil, Pr< but we have always had evil among 'cv us, and so far as we can see, al- ma ways will have.

Not Meaning to be Unjust. In last week's issue in our ediloviul titled tax i.kvv, the Mayor says we d the present council an injustice, lat the levy for ltM?4 was 15 mills and lat the levy for 1905 is no more and te street commotion tax is reduced $1.50. All this we are aware of. hat we said in our editorial, we say ?w that we can't see the necessity of cli a levy with increased valuation property and increased volume of isiness enterprises which have rung up in our town, adding to the operty liable to taxation. We do >t mean to lie unfair or unjust to the esent council. We did not put the nine anywhere specifically for we do >t know where it belongs, whether it the debt of the year before, the esent administration or not. One .nK wc ??y, mai a aeut should not contracted unless the money is in lid to pay it. It is poor policy and trsc financiering and management create a debt to pay which, the ?ney will have to he borrowed at a ?h rate of interest. Our policy uld be, if the city in in need of anyng necessary f??r its advancement, >tcction or sanitary betterment, to y a tax sufficient to meet the dends, have the work done and pay it. | PROCLAIM ATI ON.

This will reduce the flesh bee_ low the waist, cultivate beautiful curves in the arms, help to fill out the aj chest, and will increase the height if the exercise is practiced with persist ency. Try to stand in this position as or long as possible. Another exercise which will give ? poise is to stand solidly on one foot, - extending foot and hand outward, and 10 stretch the arms at the same time. ie When the left foot is stretched out the v- right arm should be extended, and vice versa. ~ Slill another exercise, is to stand in a doorway and have one foot close to the woodwork, and stretch the arm up 1C higher and higher, lie sure to stand straight; then try the other side, - This oxercis will serve to taper the y waist lines, and will bring about a is graceful carriage. is -- Special Sale n'of RUGS, AND MAN0 TLE AND PARLOR MIRRORS. it r n For a few days we will offer - as a special- inducement to ?
