I do not take many so wel >f the weekly papers published in v'c ipper South Carolina, because I do could s lot find time to read even the dail" "uence les. An examination of the Green- from li rille News and the Anderson Daily stood f Mail showed many whiskey adver- ^ tisements while the Columbia State rccollei was chock full, as was the Edgefield Union Chronicle. 1 do not read The Ob- S? on 1 server and have therefore not in- , eluded it in the category.

It is a matter of do-* ing the best we can with a very per- R RPf) plexing and devilish subject. I think one way and ^rou think another; wo need not quarrel because we diller. Very truly yours, B. It. Tillman. 0 Since receiving the senator's At 1 courteous reply we have examined hna a the advertising columns of the news- Oth, 1! papers in the prohibition counties, as far as possible. The Greenville ovvrdi News and the Anderson Mail, both dailies and circulating in dispensary iiantir as well as prohibition counties, have iVuc"rr what some might call "a pretty good run" of whiskey advertisgaepts ohepk! ? the News 1G inches*' out of 1,12(1 Fraoti inches; the Mail 20 inches out of s 9G0. The Mail seems particularly i.eirai favored by whiskey houses?possibly rrcaa' because the Mail opposed the voting out of the dispensary in Anderson county. It is worthy of note that capiu the Anderson Intelligencer, a large i eight-page paper with the largest and n i circulation of any weekly in the i state, has not a whiskey advertiseJ ment; neither has the Greenville 5 Mountaineer, a semi-weekly of large Noto' f circulation. As for The State, that r paper is published in a dispensary stAt? i county. And it may be added that I. . n,! ? J?!l? iinmt - the Florence limes, a ?iuuu um^, 3 also published in a dispensary 8^ato - county, has whiskey adversisefnents L< K< - also. We have looked through *oMf ^u] Q files but cannot find a copy dfrhe to^i ? Edgefield Chronicle; but of course s take tho senator's word that it is c y "chock fnll" of whiskey advertiseincuts. Wo have ocvcral oopioa of > dvertiser, published in the |r? aunty?and it has not a line key advertising. The Spar; Journal with 1,120 inches o, has six inches of whiskey sing; the Spartanburg Ilernonc at all. So far as we cover, there are no whiskey sements in the newspapers of or Pickens or Cherokee or or Union or York?or any emaining counties that have ut the dispensary.
