If we could dream of making any impression 011 Colonel Robert Hemphill, of the Abbeville Medium, for whom, by the way, we have nothing but the kindest feeling and most profound regard, we would attempt to discuss the dispensary question with him. We would like to tell him of the change of conditions in this county since the voting nit ef the dispensary; how beneficial It has been to white men we can name, also colored men; how the ibusive drinking of whiskey has ^een minimized, and how the town md county continue to prosper, lotwithstanding the fact that by diolishing the dispensary we have jo do without a few thousand dolars revenue for school purposes and street improvements. Truly,, if .here has been any curtailmcfit in die work of the schools or on the public highway or 011 the streets of jiaffney it is not perceptible. In n nllintol In w*wv/att& 111 ^univiv/ll I >KJ enow, says there has been no curtailment along this line. It is a fact that lalior is harder to get; that there are fewer loafing negroes m our streets, but we do not know that the voting out of the dispensary has had anything to do with this. We know that there art; fewer cases aefore the mayor and less petty jrimes in the county. But Brother Hemphill is sincere in his advocacy )f the dispensary. He believes it the best solution of the whiskey problem and being sincere and fixed n his attitude he is neither willing /O try something better nor to ac?pt the testimony of those who lave. His is a hopeless case, and nore's the pity, for he could be a jower toward ridding the people of -his incubus if he could only make lp his mind that there is something setter than the dispensary.?GafTley Ledger. Reply to Spring Flowers in Union j Times. The gentle spring moves apace, Decks mother Earth with grace ; Flowers bud and sweetly bloom From winter's cold, chilly tomb. Spring crowns all the earth with cheer; Sublime senson of the year: Lambs begin to sport and play, Birds sing joyous all the day. Farmers with the early morn, Plant their cotton seed and corn ; Thus in lifo they work their way, Thank (?od for the rainy day. The early and the latter rains, Today all the earth sustains; Without it all would be lost. And few would stop to count the cost. In all things men should give thanks, This beats investments in banks; Clod rules above and lielow, Thanks to Him all should bestow. He makes Summer, "Winter, all. Spring time, and the gloomy fall. Let all bow to His command, Strive to gain the promised land. W. M. FOSTER. i I An Inquiry as to Union Building and Loan Association. Mr. Editor: In your issue of May 18th, there is an article in regard to the Union Building and Loan Association. After stating, in substance, that in due time the condition of that institution would be made known, and a meeting of stockholders called, it says: '' When the stockholders meet it is suggested that they continue each series and let it work itself out. In the course of about two years the loss will be recoveree from and without much loss to anyone." Now I desire to know bow the Association is to "work itself out" and recover from the loss; that is, what is the "modus operandi," or particular method in the mind of the writer of that article, for such recovery. The stockholders would like to know this. I am somewhat puzzled, too, as to how the writer of that article could suggest ' 'about two years" for such recovery, because the default had, at that time, (May 18th,) been known by the public only al>out ten days, and very little is known by the public even at this date. Yours vory truly, A Stockholder. A Prima Facie Case. c Whether or not the Governor has the power to remove a memlier of the State Board of Control is for the Judges to say, but the way to test it is to make a case. In emergencies, Governors act. It is admitted that a member of ! the State Board of Control threatened the life of a member of the Dispensary investigating committee 1 because the latter offended him in the course of his investigations. The member of the State Board of Control may have been, for all we know, unjustly treated, but this is no reason why the Legislature's in vestigating committee must conduct its work under the guns of a dispensary official. The removal of f lut naninl\it?* 4 k a dnn h< 1 <\f 4 .1 vuv iiiviiiiA/i ui till; ijuuiu U1 V/WIltlUl would not prevent him from protecting his reputation as a private citizen. Rather would it tend to disembarrass him, and it is not uncommon for high-minded men to resign from public oflices in order that they may be free to act solely in their personal capacity. Prima facie the Governor has legal authority to remove a member of the State Board of Control. If he should transcend his legal authority, the member removed would find the Courts open and the Judges ready to correct the error. The writ of mandamus is available. Meantime, the situation is that tho Legislature's investigating committee is openly and violently defied by an officer of the concern which is the subject of investigation. This cannot be tolerated, this cannot be overlooked unless the State of South Carolina sympathizes with the officer and would array itself against the legislature's committee.
