WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1900.
Wisconsin haB decided also to have
an insurance investigation. Thone in
surance investigations aro getting to
be almost as contagious as thc inca
uales.
The Department of Agriculture is
out with the prediction that wo are to
have a bumper crop this year. Thc
crop experts, it seems, are those who
sit around the offices and never see a
farm. _ _
General Wood Kays that tho rivers
in the Philippine islands should be
-^dammed. The tax payers of thc coun
try are inclined to think that this
should bo done to everything else upon
the islands also.
Too many young men have been
killed or crippled for life at our Amer
ican universities during the present
college year. There is o.somothing
loose in tho athletic regulations.
There should bo rational reform, and
that speedily.
It is reported from Columbia that
the State constables will get after thc
people who aro taking orders in thc
State in prohibition counties and col
lecting the money for liquor shipped
ia. This is held to be selling liquor
in violation of the prohibition law.
The Florence Times very truly re
marks that those who are preaching
and teaching that God sent the San
Francisco earthquake on those people
in judgment for their sins ought to
stop and think what would happen
nearer homo if providence undertook
to settle accounts with sinners before
the final judgment.

Immigrants detained at Boston for
investigation inolude a number of
Danes who are suspected of having
been among a lot of convicts recently
pardoned by the now King of Den
mark. Too great care cannot be exer
cised in keeping suoh persons out of
this country. We havo moro than
enough criminals of our own.
Hon. B. C. Watts, the presiding
judge at the Court of General Ses
sions iq Orangeburg last week, in
speaking to the grand jury concerning
the carrying of pistols, said that no
person had a right to oarry such a
weapon but a peaoe officer, and that
they were only allowed to oarry them
in the discharge of their duty. The
question was then i brought up, if
rural mail carriers or expreso agents
and bank officers were allowed this
privilege, and it was stated that they
were not. The law distinctly says
that peaee officers only are allowed to
carry pistols, and they only in the dis
charge of their duty.
There can be po denying the fact
that the South needs immigrants to
develop'?many of her great resouroep.
The field for success in this section of
the country is broad, and if the kind of
men who have made the great west
what she is can be seoured tho South
would wcloome them. Of course no
one for a moment in this section of the
country would think of urging the im
portation of "just any kind of immi
grants into this part of the Union.
Tho South is the true American section
andie destined to remain so. Tho in
flux of hordes of foreigners without
proper seieotion would not be weloom*
\ ed, hut we want none of the class that
makes up the disturbing element of
the Northern States.
POOLECT OF THE BIBLE.
An eminent scholar in this country
has pointed cut a reason for the lask
of good'English among tho rising gen
eration. He soya that it is explained
by the fact that tho young people of
this doy and time are neglecting the
reading of the Bible. They are not
studying that great Book as they
should, and are falling'far behind the
standard set by their fathers.
The Bible is ?one of the greatest
helps in the world for the boy or girl
?ho is trying to master English.
tThtre is noj.book that can possibly
give the student a better insight into
ibo English language. The d?cadence
?of good Englishes due in the largest
messnre to thegnegleot of tbs reading
of the Scriptures ss they should bs
read.
A few days since a list of familiar
quotations was prepared, and without
previous notice the ?list was submitted
to three hundred students in Now
York with the request'that they give
the names Of the authors of the Dooks
in which the sentences were to be
found. , Oat of the three hundred an
swers not ' one correct Hit. was to be
fouud, and tho mistakes; fnr thc j iva ter
part occurred a8?t0?the^ ten quotations
' that were taken from' th e Ci ole.
The student of the -Bible, of course,
receives much mcre'good;iu a spiritual
say tho very leaBt of it thc constant
study of the Bible will make one a J
better English scholar. And then
there is the higher confederation, that
it will make of that person a better
man or woman.
To Fight the Dispensary.
Tho address below bas been sont to
newspapers of tho .State for publica
tion, lt will be observed that it is
signed by a number of gentlemen who
have been conspicuous in their oppo
sion to tho State dispensary:
To the Democratic Voters of South
Carolina: AH citizens of South Caro
lina opposed to the present State din- |
pensary system, we the undersigned,
call upon our fellow citizens ol like
opinion to unite for the purpose of
organizing the opposition to the dis
pensary system.
So nearly of one mind concerning
I tho dispensary system ar? the people
of the State Hint it is only by their
failure to unite ?or action that tho dis
j pensary can ho preserved, lt Js only
by default that thodinpensaiy can win
I another victory, bet?re, the electors ol
in tho legislature, anti it ?ill bo fool
hardy for those who desl?e its over
throw t?? sit supinely by and seo the
pernicious system again enthroned in
power In our commun wealth.
Every sincere, patriotic citizen must
regret that thu issuo should be again
the paramount question in a South
Carolina campaign. Hut as long as
tho dispensary remains just so long
will il continue to bo the paramount
issue, and it should, therefore, bethe
desire of every thoughtful citizen to
se?! this festering sore removed and a
healthier condition secured. To this
end we invito the co-operation of all
those who believe the State dispensary
j system to be an evil and propose that
I other d:fl*ering policies for the time be
ing laid aside, the demand lirst, now,
bo made that the State dispensary
system shall be destroyed.
On trial now for thirteen years, for
tihed all the time by strong support
and as truly protected by unceasing
criticism and watchfulness, there is no
need to point out the evils which the
State monopoly of the whiskey trafile
has bred. Corruption at the fountain
head and in its branches, drunkennees
and murder, woe and misery have been
its products. A pernicious political
machine of gigantic proportions,
with a beavered lobby in Columbia,
and a willing ring in every county,
the monster lins waxed fat, insolent
and defiant. The will of the people
baa been perverted and suppressed,
and when finally demanding expres
sion that demand han been thwarted
and circumvented by appeals to the
trivial technicalities of the law.
In eighteen counties tho people have
spoken and in all these except two
their voice has in thunder tones repu
diated the system. In other counties
they are now ready to give expression
to their will, awaiting the summer
primary. In this piimary, where the,
life or the death of the dispensary
will be and should be d culed, it is
vitally necessary tbat the opposition
to the dispensary shall be nctive and
united. It is only by action and union
that tho dispensary tins been voted
out of sixteen counties under the
Brice law and by no other means than
action and union can the sya'.em be
uprooted from the State.
The people are decided. It merely
remains for them to make their decis
ion effective. They must choose rep
resentatives who will repeal such laws
as they desire to have repealed, and
who will enact such laws aa they de
sire enacted. Then they must put in
oilice men who, in full sympathy, will
enforce justly and vigorously what
ever laws are upon the statute books.
The people have shown, by their eager
acceptance of the only opportunity ac
corded them, that they believe in the
principle of local self-government,
and now, lest they have thia inalien
able right again wrested from them,
the free citizens ot South Carolina
must make their sovereign power
felt. There must be elected a legisla
ture which will not renounce thia
principle, wiitin, will not yield to the
dispensary machine; there moRt be
elected executive and prosecuting offi
cials who will not permit the law
to be made a mockery for ita undo
ing.
We suggest consultation and co op
eration in every county and through
out the State that these ends may be
attained.

Tillman Anxious That Thete Shall be
No Division of Dispensary Totes.
Columbia, May H.-There are evi
dences that the advocates of the die
Eensary will nee every effort to have
nt one candidate in the Held for Gov
ernor. Negotiations toward that end
are already in progress and the symp
toms are that something will be done
along that line at the time of tbe'State
Convention, which ia to be held here
next Wednesday.
Senator Tillman doea not want a
division along the firing lice and
hopes that the friends ot the dispen
sary will Joe able to centre on one can
didate, 'i he beat wa>, of course,
would be for but om? auch candidate
to come out, but whither this can be
done or not remains to be sees.
Senator Tillman makes it a point
not to discriminate as .between friends
and those on the samt platform, ?&d
will not likely do so in the raes this
summer, should more than ono dispen
sary advocate announce, and that, lt
appears, ia what Ula being sought to
avoia just at this time.
The impression now appears to be
that the dispensary advocates will un
dertake to baye a resolution adopted
by the State Convention endorsing the
State dispensary. This ls nothing
?*7??doPe ?1896?ndagain la
1898. In 1898, when Featherstone and
Elierbe ran io the second race, hsd it
?otbe*? for the anti vote, as lt wss
then called, Featherstoue v ould have
been elected over Elleibe, thedispen
oary advocase, although that very year
rhe dlapeaeary was in the party plat
form and the dispensary waa tn the
zonith of its glory and no one had
gone to the trouble of knocking it.
Then it was a fight of. pm h i bit ion aa
Egainatth? dispensary, This ?esr th*
tight is to be for iocs i option as against
the Stave U?BP?DS?7T and the mere fact
that the dispensary. is endorsed
amount? to nothing, as waa.the case In
che Elierbe vote.T lt ia known to au
men that he" would never have been

moat violently opposed the dispensary,

There's a reason, and there's a reason why yon should trade

than a sower of cheap, shoddy stuff that m?kes trouble from
the time it leaves the manufacturer's hands. Quality, not quan
tity, has been our first consideration since we first started busi
ness twelye years ago, and to prove that this policy has paid us
we point with pride to che splendid reputation and trade wa
haye h\?lt up on that matchless gem oftte miller's art
We have been endeavoring front year to year td improve the /

have the most decidedly perfect Flour on tfie market, and ir so

So much for being a stickler for quality.
