A GOOD WORD
Prom a South Carolina College
Professor for the
STATE DISPENSARY.
He Says No Student Has "Been Up"
for Intoxication Since the Dispen
sary Began Contrast With Con"
dillons Under Barrooms.
hlfeet Beneficial.
The Columbia Ko cord says at one
time the sentiment of Illohland ci nin
ty and especially Columbia was over
whelmingly against the dispensary,
but year by year thoro has been a
steady ohange until now few people
doubt that a majority ot the people of
Columbia as well as of Richland coun
ty favor the dispensary. This was
evidenoed by this county's eleotion of
delegates to tho state I)?mooratic con
vention. This chango of sentiment
has been brought about gradually by
a growing conviction that conditions
in this town as far as sobriety ls oon
corned have been greatly Improved
by the operation of tho dispensary
system Not only is lt true that those
who had already acquired the drink
habit drink less than they did lu the
old barroom days, but lt ls also true
that those who have come to manhood
during tho thirteen yeats of tho dis
pensary's operation In this oity are
remarkably free from Un drink habit.
Advocates of the dispensary havo al
ways held this out as one of the great
est advantages and blessings of that
institution, that it deoreased the in
ducements to drink and that therefore
tho longer lt was operated tho fewer
would be the young mon of oao'i gen
eration who acquired tho drink habit.
That this has been the case in Colum
bia lt would be idle to deny. A stead
ily increasing realization of this faot
has been responsible for the equally
steady ohange of felling here as to the
dispensary. It is true that the revenue
to both city and county from the dis
sary is very large aud greatly helps in
permitting large publie improvements
without inorea86 of the tax levy, hut
thin fact is by no means responsible
for the ohange of scutlmcnt, though
lt bas undoubtedly helped. But many
former enemies of the dispensary have
been converted and among them are
soores whoso opinions could not bc
ohanged by mere monetary considera
tions.
A striking instanoe of the Improve
mont of conditions in Columbia as a
result of tho operation of the dispen
sary law was stated In conversation
Monday by ono of the prof et sors of
the South Carolina university, which
for more than a hundred years has
been engaged lu Columbia in the great
work ot educating the young men of
South Carolina. It Isa wall-known
faot that the graduates of that Insti
tution have taken a remarkably pro
minent part in the politics and gov
ernment of this state. Therefore it
oannot be denied that what hcnclits
them morally, or physically, that
tends to make them bolter men and
citizens, has beni li .dal results for
soores of years after they leave the
College?
The professor was discussing the al
legation that thc dispensary was a
governmental novelty, practically
without precedent. He laughed at
this theory and quoted a number of
precedents of governmental control of
business, even where there was not
that chief reason for the dispensary,
that is a beneficial exerolso cf the po
lice power of the state. Continuing
he said in substance.
A remarkable tribute to the dispen
sary ls the fact that in ten years the
faoulty of the South Carolina univer
sity has noe had occasioned to try a
student for intoxication. It is unfor
tunately true that among thc more
than three hundred students at tho
university there are sumo who drink
but the conditions have been so chang
od by the operation of the dispensary
that none of them drink so that it ls
necessary for the faculty to take cog
nlzance of their Indiscretions, lt was
nob so in the days prior to the dispen
sary, when there were so many temp
tations and inducements to young
men to drink. Then many a young
Student, without Intending to do so.
drank to thu point of Intoxication. Ile
would come up street for one reason
or another, meet friends, stop In a
bar to take a drink or two, get Into
a orowd of good fellows, each of whom
h. slided ho must have his turn at
treating, and take a half ck/.MI or
moro drinks where he bad only inten
ded taking one. The ( tl'sct of che op
eration of the dispensary upon stu
dent life lu Columbia bas been so btn
efloial as to have made its substitu
tion for the barrooms a rial blessing.
Horribly Muttlatod.
According to a report that han
reaohed cillo3rs at Spartanburg a bor
rlble fate was meted out to a fruit
tree salesman by moonshiners in tho
Dark Corner. According to tho story
the unfortunate mau, who was selling
trees in that territory, was suspected
of being a revenue odl sor In disguise,
and one night last week ho was ontlo
ed f:om a house whoro he boarded and
takon Into the woods by a party of t.
dozen or moro mountaineers. After
tying tho man to a log a sharp knife
in tho hands of one of the number was
used in Inflicting Injuries too horrible
for publioitlon. lt is learned that
tho vlotlm of the moonshiners' wrath
has since died. It later developed that
the man was an agent of a fruit treo
concern, as he claimed, and that he
had no purpose to spy on tho business
of tho residents of tho mountainous
section.
Another Tragedy.
At Now York John Kltrovlop, who
represented that he was employed at
tho Metrople houso, shot a woman
with whom she had been living as
wife at 457 West 14 :h street Friday
morning ard then sent a buhot
through his own brain, dying lnsrant
ly. Tho woman, who gave her name
as Cela McGarry, ls pronounced In a
serious condition. Jealousy lb given as
the cause.

In & New York editor's ottJoe one
day, the sanotum of a great news
paper that wields Influence, a woman
who wan doing her little best lu tho
world of letters was introduced to Mr.
Wm. Lloyd Garrison, son of that
Boston man who did things.
"You came from South Carolina?"
be lt quired with a polite Interest.
"Oh, yeal That ls Mrs. Youug's
8ta*e," said ho. "You know Mrs.
Young?" Mr. Garrison along with
Mr. Curt's, Higginson and other
worthy advocates of suffrage for wo
man know Mrs. Young as a woman
Suffragist hcnoo it happens that, in

Tho woman's right movemont, 'tis

who have seen her at homo, feel that
sho is oreating the best possible senti
ment In favor of her cult by reason of
the dainty home atmosphere she
maintains, and her genuine devotion
to her husband's comfort and interest.
A mostdetiulto characteristic of this
woman pioneer is that she elevates
the commonplace duties of life into
pleasures and oontrlves that every
thing shall be sweet and olean and
purely wholosomo within her gate?.
Woman acquainted with our languor

unremitting personal supervision re
quired to keep things fresh and at

"I always strain the milk myself
as soon as lt comes In," she explains,
excuslrg herself for this purpose.
Ai d next morning If up early enough

Young wot king hor butter, or beating
up bl. cult, feeding her chickens or
gathering cgKS, culling roses or set

Plum toey might get some fresh
ideas on female suffrage. She would
bc suro to talk while they were there,
and whatever she talks about she en

believes in herself aud that ls why
you believe lu her after you n eet lier.
You may not subscribe to her doc
trines altogether but upon hearing
her discourse you are more apt to HOC
the reasonableness of .arguments ai
she puts them.

Wnllc she talks you listen and are

"thinks up bills" for public improve

staid old Boston that the folks there
stay lieder dormant somewhat like a

MARRIAGE.

God mado the man for the woman,
and tbs woman for the man. Eaoh
ls iuoomplete without tho other. In
our experience even those who have
married Indifferently will havo devel
oped completer and nobler characters
than those who have remained single.
Marriage teaohes both thu ....m acd
woman tolerance, patlonoe, tender
ness. It lulls thc passions and stimu
lates the lutolligenoo. When there
are children the noblest virtuos and
aspirations aro aroused. Father and
mother are uulted in tho desire to do
their utmost for the helpless ll lt io
ones who depend upon them alto
gether, and make life fresh and young
and beautiful for them.
Thero are certain men no woman
should dare to marry. She would r ot
dare to marry a man she does not
love, no matter how exemplary his
character and how attractive his bank
account. Happmtsi in marriage is
Urst?nd fort most dependent upou tho
Individual aud his power of not simply
respeot, but the deepest and com
pletehb devotion. Tho mau who
would make ono woman divinely
happy would make another miser
able, because she ls not his mate, and
tho good Lord never meant her to
dwell with him. There must be that
congeniality, that sympathy, that In
expressible something that men call
love, that accepts its mate altogether,
Ignoring all faults, hearing all things,
behoving all things, hoping all
Mihi,::!, enduring all things, never
failing in tenderness aud loyalty even
though the whole world should turn
against the beloved one. Such a love
is worth walting for at d worth living
for. To mo.st women there is not
much else In the world worth living
for-and to most men also, since lt
ls the only sure basis for permanont
happiness.
No matter how much a woman may
think she loves him, she should not
dare to marry a dissipated mau. True
love ls rooted and grounded in rc
.ipect. A woman may pity profound
ly a man of weak character, but she
cannot love him. Fl ty is so akin to

Tho Journal, the Insurance press,
has sent out advance sheets of its
next Issue containing much Interest
ing information as to life Insurance
premiums paid during 1005, together
with other data of Importance from a
statlstioal point of view. Tho ligures
are not comparative. They show
what the various companies have paid
out by oountlos in various states, for
different periods, but there are no
agurcs as to how much was received
by tho companies. Nevertheless, here
are some facts which aro frosh and
interesting. Amongst cities receiving
largest payments ou account of pro
mlums New York naturally leads
with $20.785,797. Charleston standB
fifty ?fth in the list of 198, that city
having received $406,0-19 in settle
monts of life policies of all kinds.
That olby, also, stands fifty fourth
among 100 other cities with Now^York
at the top, In tho amount of life
Insuranco carried, the figures being
$10,000,000. New O leans, Atlanta.
R'obmond, Dallas, Memphis have a
few millions ahead of that city, butin
proportion to population Charleston
ls away ahead of any other Southern
olby in tho amount of Ufo insurance
carried by her olf /. ms. Standing
fiftieth she also exceeds in the amount
that of many larger Northern oibies
According to Tho Insuranco Press1
ligures South Carolina received In

[n a Plain, Business I ike Address to
l'emocratio Voters of the
(tote.
Tho following address will explain
itself :
To tho Democratic Voters of South
Carolina:
I will stand for the Demooratlc
nom'nation for governor cf South
Carolina in the primary election to be
heid in August, 1900.
I will stand on my record as a man,
a olt'zm, and on my record as a pub
lic rtllolal In the general assembly. 1
stand on my reoord as a Democrat,
adhering steadfastly to the doctrines
of that? party in advocaoy of those
principles of right and Justloo which
prcteot and defend the rights of the
Individual, as well as the protection
of property.
believing t at the foundation stone
of a republloau form of government
rests on tho froo, untrammeled ex
pression of the popular will, I staud
f r pure eltcMonB, freo from tho cor
rupting and debasing pr?cticos of the
use-of money, whiskey or anything
which tends to iulluenoe voters, except
the legitimate and educational influ
ence of arguuaeut.
I Btand for the steady development
?ind improvement of the educational
system of the State, liberally support
ed.
I stand fer the equalization of as
essomnts of propel ty, so that the
burden of taxation will fal) moro
? v. ntly than at present.
I stand for tho rigid application o'
business methods to all departments
of government, and the nqulrerueut
ot faithful orformance of services lu
all the departments 1 stand for rigid
economy in the public service, so far
as ls consistent with t moloney, ano
wioh that spirit of progress which re
quires new methods to meet uew con
ditions
Realizing fully that success lu the
txcoutlve onair oan be attained only
oy the j ist and Urm administration
ot laws 1, pledge myself to the unfal
terlng enforcement of law by every
power vested In the chief cxeoutive
under the constitution aud laws of
the State.
The otlloo of tho governor Is ext cu
(.Ive and administrative, not legisla
tivo.
lt is his duty and prerogative to en
folds law, whathever the law ls, and I
pledge myself faithfully to dlsoharge
this duty should I be elected.
lu v.ew of the widespread discuss
ion of the liquor question, I deem lt
proper to state briefly my posltlou on
this question.
I aomlt that there has been a grow
lng tendency to curtail drink, and the
tin:, may come when prohibition can
be made tit motive lu South Carolina.
But, In my judgment, that time has
not come, and this question must bc
met in a practical way. I reafilrm
my conviction that tho dispensary
iystem, as embodied In the dispensary
.aw, and amended, as proposed in the
lt ysor-Manning bill, faithfully,
uonestly and firmly enforced, would
promote tempor?neo and sobriety, re
itrlot the sale and use of liquor and
minim;/.3 its evils. Let me bo plainly
understood. 1 believe that liquor ls
Ul evil, but it is an evil that oannot
??ct, be banished from South Carolina,
ind the cost, that eui be done ls to
reg u'ate the salo of liquor by law and
mr tall and restrict its us", and that
ids can best bi done under a rigid
nforoement of the dispensary law,
imended as proposed by the llaysor
Manning bill.
I wlil di clare my position fully and
without reserve on al' question agl
ating the public mind lu my public
.i tte ranees during the campaign.
