MKINCSTON REVIEW.
- If prosecutions do not follow
irtfie secoud investigation into the
affairs ortho dispensary, no fur
ther investigation need be made.
To keep tab with the House and
Senaie, ss to tho ultimate dis
position of the hundreds of bills
? that are introduced, would drive
io distraction the traditional
Philadelphia lawyer.
y ?Recent developments appear to
Vhave doomed the South Carolina
Dispensary. The people of South
:JCarolina were patient end long
suffering, but they draw the line
at having -to pey $1.75 per gallou
for whiskey that other people can
J buy for $1.35.-Augusta Chroui
. .cl*.
?^." Politicians are already looking
forward to 1908. Cansler, of Tir
S-aahj whom everybody in South
^Carolina knows, says: "Just tell
Vern I'll be the first man in the
'?'I race niixt-year, aud that I'm com
in'g injahead at the homestretch
lihirtime." .
i What bas become of the anti?
?. cigarette bill that rias introduced
. by Senator Blease? Surely not a
1 Bingle voice will be raised in
^either House in opposition to a
^measure, which, if enacted, will
: prohibit the sale of cigarettes and
cigarette paper io the state.
>\ South Carolina has 970,501
:: ;mpre spindles in oj oration than
^any other southern ;:?tatr. North
: Carolina bas a greater.number of ?
h cort?n mills but they are much
smaller than the mills of this
|atat?: Spartanbjirg county is the
.banner cotton mill county of the
south. The total number of mills
^D^hatcouuty is 37, ten of which
are the .largest mills in the south.
.//"' The poetal authorities in Wash
ington are casting about to devise
.^aoime nwans of rodacing the cost
i of. transmitting .the mails. A cori
- eidersblo saving could^be effected
by curtailing the quantity of pub
lic.-'documents that are sent out
tie government. These docu
-jonts, wbicb are not read by one
r person in a thousand, doubtless
r aggregato hundreds of tons in a
Ejear. . .
it? very unfortunate for the
.-farmers that corn has begun to
; advance just at the time when
v.they will have to begin buying.
: Let us hope that the stimulus
> given to corn culture by the phe
nomenal success of the Wilham
^ son plan, augmented by the
^awarding of the prize to a South
Carolina farmer for the largest
%yield per acre, will result in a
?^greatly increased acreage and
^vyield of the cereal this year - in
K this state.
While South Carolina legisla-1
. .tors are afraid even to make pro
vision for marriage licenses, lest
> it lead to agitation of a divorce
|^wt'- the courts of Georgia are
? ; casting marital bonds asunder at
r wholesale rate. Thirty-six cases
??/were beard]in Augusta'on Satur
?;day, and in a majority of the
peases total divorce was granted.
Georgia, can send her bucket-shops
- ?croas the river for a Beason-and
.for a season only-but her divorce
X mills dare not cross the Savannah!
A year ago the old dispensary
Aboard waa practically kicked
::-Over-board and new men chosen,
? with the hope that the result
- would be at least in a measure a
^purified" dispensary. Wh*t do
. we find after the lapse of twelve
^ short months? Without a dts
| eenting vote, the general assembly
passed a resolution stating "that
? in our opinion the directors of
^fiis.Srate dispensary have viola
bX?d the daw in the purchase of |
.'.liquors and are" liable to remov
al by the -governor and prosecu
tion." Away with the delnsiou-.
a "purified" dispensary.
A bill has beej introduced in
creasing the pay of jurors to $2
.and witnesses to $1.50 per day.
?This should become a law, but, if
tfcossible, a limit should be fixed
tba numb ar of fitnesses Jo be
tomoned in a case. Beside?
?frejng unnecessary, it is au im
tion upon the laxpayers to
mmon a great number of wit
^jteases to prove -seme minor point
Cn a-case. Oftentimes persons are
summoned who are never placed
?pon the stand. The Advertiser]
favors increased pay for witness/
qs and jurors, at leasl enough to
defray actual expenses while ip
attendance upon csurt, but.op^
poses the summoning of a dozen
or more witueFsee, some of whom
know absolutely nothiug of tbe
facts bearing upon the case.
Oppose Whiskey in Every Form.
While in conversation with the
writer a few days ago, a gentle
man remarked tbat The Adverti
ser was not fighting liquor but
was only opposing the dispensary.
Our reply-ono that nae appeared
in these* columns many timee->
was that thh newspaper opposes
the sale of whiskey in every form-,
whether by the individual, county
or state. As further, prcof that we
are fighting whiskey, we cited the
fact that we etontly refuse to ad
vertise it, believing that by so
doing we would be a means of in
creasing the sale and consump
tion of whiskey. It it were only
the dispensary-that we oppose,
and not whiskey itself, these col
umns.would to-day contaiu a doz
en or more liquor advertisements,
from which we would reap several
hundred dollars in cold cash On
our desk at this moment there
lies a $25 contract from a North
?aroliua distiller awaiting our
acceptance. Butrit will have to
wait a long, long time. Should
there^ be any further doubt as to
this newspaper's position on the
question of tho sale ot liquor as
a beverage?
Sale Should be Restricted.
Th? cocaine evil is becoming
alarmingly prevalent, eepfcially
in southern towns and cities.
Strange to say, tha people of'the
south, especially the colored popu
lation, seem to be easy victims of
this treacherous drug. The very
marked increase of iusanity
among colored people is attribu
ted to the habitual use of cocaine.
We do not know what the South
Carolina legislature bas done or
will do to restrict its Eale, but
deem ita matter of sufficient mo
ment to demand national legisla
tion. Checking the cocaine evil
in its incipiency will be less diffi
cult than after it gits' a firm bold
upou tho people of all classes and
of all sections. In Borne of the
large cities cocaiue is peddl d on
tbe streets.
In this connection, let us say in
passing, that we were pleased to
hear an Edgefield druggist say re
cently that he refusos to- sell this
powerful drug to tbe general pub
lic. He only sells it on e. physi
cian's prescription or to responsi
ble persons who will use it prop
erly. It is doing the colored race
a great favor to withhold cocaiue
from them.
COLD SPRING.
Strange things are coining to
pass now-a-days. Mr. Charles
Jooes is to build a beautiful cot
tage, also Mr. Walter Holmes is
having a house built. . What do
all these things mean?
Mrs. Annie Waeh is quite ill at
the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Tandy Seigler, of Bradley, S. C.
Hon. W. T. Slaughter, of
Hickory Grove, York county, was
here last Saturday and organized
a camp of the Woodmen of
the World. The officers were duly
elected and installed. Several new
members have entered the myste
ries of woodcraft,
Mr. Flavia Graves, of Plum
Branch and Miss Chartie Lou
West were married at Rose Cot
tage yesterday morning at S
o'clock by our pastor. " These
young people" are very popular
with their large circle of friends
who wish for them a long and
useful life. Mr. and Mrs. Graves
left this morning for Pl am
Branch, their future home.
At Red Hill church, February
the 3rd, at ll o'clock, Mr. Butler
Hammond, tbe second son of
Mrs. Annie Hammond and Miss
Mary Cheatham, the only daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs^ W. D. Cbeat
ham, were married in the presence
of a la$ge congregation by oui
pastor, Rev. Littlejohn. These
happy young people are at home to
their friends at the beautiful
home of the groom's mother, Mrs.
Annie Hammond.'
Many of our people bave set
cabbage plants out in their g&r
denB for early spring use. Tbe
recent warm rains have greatly
improved the looks of the grain.
Mr. W. H. Quarles sent hie
pastor a large fresn ham. Many
thanks. -
Mr. Preston Stone has a bed ol
cabbage plants of his own raising
large enough to be transplanted.
