"A Moral Question

- W. nave peen informed that 8 petition and
counter petition for license to retail spiri!uous
liquors in q neighborhood Of our County have
been handed to tho County Commissioners.
The applicant is roady to pay the money and
to:givo bond as required bylaw, Inthefaco
OF on opposing petition largely signed by res.
peotable oitizons, should the license be gran.
ted? Tho power to grant licenses as res
tntegrgs, is purely discretionary With the au.
thorltlles, but whom tho door is opened and
the disposition manifested to grant then, wo
think the application of an individual, lcnd.
crulng the requisites provided by law, bocom cs
a right. Can the Commissioners p,operlydis-
crlmninate, apart from tho character Of the
applicant and tho tender of tho Requirements
OF the law? There is no neighborhood but
could present strong counter petition to any
application for license to. retail liquor, a
dram shop is a curse and nuisance to tho in,
dustrious and virtuous citizen. 1t stirs up
strife strife and confusion, and is tho entering woage
.ln'the ruin Of the character of the rising gcn.
GRAFTON; Every man Of family contemplatos
it's insiduous temptations with alarm Itcor,
rupts> the social Sand industrial habits ,ofthe
surrounding community and is an uniyersalis
acknowledged evil, a5leprous soro. The pitt
TANGO paid to the County for tho privilege is
moro than expended in the, costs of a single
case!of larcenyor assault and battery. Every
dram shop may be xpected to return to the
sessions during the year a half dozen cases of
crine, clearly traceablo to its location and
traffic. These cases arc prosecuted at heavy
expense to the taxpayer and the county gets
fifty dollars income for three hundred. outgo
These arc facts beyond dispute and deserve
the attention of the voting community. If
the licensing Of dram shops, is moral, social,
industrial and pecunary evil to people, then
the question as to permitting them is live
one, and should be made. At present we be-
ievc the Commissioners, without knowing the
VIII OF the people, have done their duty, and
as one has been granted, another should not
be refused, but the duration Of the license
should not extend beyond their term of Office
1t persons opposed to license would make tho
question in an election, then we might asccr.
tain the will Of the people. 1t would be far
better to divide upon questions of moral re.
form than upon the dead issues growing out
Of slavery, and nothing perhaps would add
more to the permanencc and security of our
free institutions, than the curbng the traffic
in ardent spirits We throw out these sug-
gestions for the reflection Of our readers, and
in connection with the question as to the
proper course for the Commissioners in con.
tested applications. A proper expression of
public opinion would serve to direct their fu-
turc action.

A Trim TO Anderson.

On Tuesday last we had the pleasure of visit.
ing our neighboring town, Anderson. Not,
withstanding the bursting of the HARRIS
bubble, there are living evidences Of the thrift
and prosperity of the place. The rumbling
of cotton wagons, mingled with the ring of
the hammer and trowcl Of the mechanic, be.
speak the life and activity of her people. =
Though this is the dullcst period Of the year.
the merchants and tradcsmcn appeared busy.
Anderson has the reputation Of being tho best
cotton market this side of Charleston. Her
merchants arc liberal in their dealings and al
ways willing to pay the highest prices for the
products of the farmer, aud to sell him his
supplies on the most reasonable terms. This
has drawn to the place a more than foir pro-
portion Of the business oft the adjoining coun-
ties; and illustrates how much can be done
for place by few cntcrprising, public spir-
tied men. The profits of their business have
repaid them, while the entire community has
been benefited
While in Anderson, we had tho pleasure
of seeing and conyersing with friend uoYr,

counsels.
Tho lawyers appeared slightly at leisure
Like our Bar, they. are .foundering in the in.
tricacies of tho Code. How to get judg.
