The Newberry Observer says:


The editor of the Anderson INTEhLI.
aENCEk, and late candidate for Congress,
says:
There is no doubt that much valuable
time will be lost in the discussion of the
State University and the Columbia Canal,
but NO change in the policy of the State
can or will be effected by the expenditure
of the pent-up rhetoric of the local
politicians on these subjects.
This is a fair specimen of what the
Augusta Chronicle would call "assumacy."
Local politicians" The men who op.
pose these measures are certainly the
equals of the INTELLIGENCER man in
brains, character and reputation; and
there is no suspicion that their views are
Influenced by selfish or unworthy mo.
tives.
The IMrELLIGENcER has not charged
any member of the Legislature with
selfish or unworthy motives. 1t has
simply predicted the result of probable
rhetorical battle in the Legislature. 1t
did speak of the fight as coming from
local politicians, and we apprehend that
the men who oppose the University will
be found to come from Counties in which
there has been either local fight over
the question in the canvass, or in which
there is strong local opposition to the
institution. We have mot said that these
gentlemen were lacking in brains, char
acter or reputation (; but what ne did
say was, that after the battle of words is
over, they will be found lacking in votes.
Those who have any doubt about it will
see who is right when the appropriation
bill is passed. The Observer cannot,
however, conceal its malice towards the
INTELLIGENCE. It does not discuss
any matter with us without making it as
personal as possible. We have become
accustomed to its style of controversy,
however, and confess we would be greatly
surprised to find any Improvement in its
manners.

The Merchant and Farmer says

EFF mo license prevail in Laurens,
about $4,000 will be turned from the
whisky traffic into other channels OF
trade, chiefly into bread and meat and
clothing. The same men who sell the
one can, if they wish, turn their attention
to the other"
This is strong argument, in few
words, for the dry ticket. lis as appli.
cable to Anderson as to Laurens. Out
side Of moral considerations, the whisky
traffic is injurious because it is so waste
full. The money spent for whisky is
more than thrown away, for it confer'
neither strength nor sustenance to man,
and while it impoverishes him at the
same time it destroys him socially, NOR
ally, mentally and physically. 1t is q
good thing to stop, and as our contempo-
rary observes, the capital which conducts
the whisky business can go into other
branches of merchandise.

~ The idea that Anderson will need the
license money from saloons to help bear
the burden Of city taxation incident to
our railroad subscriptions will not bear a
close analysis. If there is no liquor sold
Ein Anderson it will leave from thirty to
fifty thousand dollars per year to be spent
among our merchants and mechanics,
which is now lost in. drink. It will be
easier for many persons to pay their
taxes, if no liquor is sold, than it will be
! If we have license.

The State Board of Canvassers of
Illinois have decided from testimony
given before it that Leman, Republican,
was entitled to the certificate of election
as State Senator, instead of Brand,
Democrat. This gives the Legislature
Of Illinois to the Republicans on joint
ballot BY one majority, and may secure
Logan's reelection to the United States
Senate. Perhaps, however, some other
development may yet wrest the Senator.
ship from the Republicans.

The Charles City (Iowa) Intelligence

The Charles City (Iowa) IntelHgencer
says:
"The Anderson. S. O.. INTELLIGENCER
says that hereafter North and South
will mean no more in politics than East
and West. But we would just like to
ask if the Solid South with its 15S
electoral votes, will not mean the same
as now 7"
We answer our contemporary that we
hope the "Solid South" will always mean
just what it means now, and that is 8
sincere and earnest wish and desire to
help in establishing a good government
for our whole country, in which the rights
of all men in all sections will be fully
assured, and in which the lessons drawn
from the trouble of the past shall serve
to bind together our whole Union in an
enduring and neyer-to- e-broken peace
and mutual consideration for each other,
through which the great possibilities of
our grand country may be rapidly devel-
oped and harmoniously enjoyed. The
South is solid for peace and good govern
ment. We believe the Democratic
victory will make our whole country so.
Let us not hereafter point to any Ameri-
can as citizen of the North or South
or West, bullet us all alike feel just
pride in the fact that We are citizens of
the United States. The South has not
since the war enjoyed this privilege in its
full measure, for men like Mr. Blaine
have constantly sought to fan anew the
dying embers Of political strife, and have
desired to force upon US the infamous
local governments which Disguised even
the decent Republicans in our midst.
The South has been solidly in favor Of
driving from power the political party
which thus, in every fourth year, menaced
the prosperity of our States and the
harmony of our nation. This has been
done, and we will be found to remain
true and solid in our attachment to the
traditions of our common country, and
in our efforts to promote the growth, the
prosperity and the harmony of our
Union of equal States. And now we
want to ask our contemporary if the
West will not likewise become solid with
US in the pursuit of these worthy objects.

The argument used against the adop.
ton of no license for Anderson in the
election to-day, that when we had
dry ticket three years ago, the prohibi-
ton against selling liquor was not
enforced, and therefore that it is useless
to try it over again should have no weight
with the voters. There have been very
considerable changes since then in the
laws which bear upon this subject. The
city charter has been adopted, and by it
the Mayor has the whole responsibility
thrown upon him of enforcing the laws.
The experience of the city has been that
this is much more efficient system than
the old trial by a full Council. The
prohibition law not only can, but we
predict will be, enforced if it is adopted.
Mayor Tolly has the sagacity and the
resolution necessary to do it. When the
late Council passed the ordinance against
selling to Minors and persons of known
Incorporate habits, many persons pre-
dicted that it would be failure, but q
few we'll directed and vigorous examples
convinced everybody that Mayor
Maxwell intended to enforce the law,
and the evil soon almost entirely disap-
peared. Not only this, but the law as
to sales by Druggists has been so amend
ed that they can only sell upon the
prescription of a Physician actually in
attendance upon patient, and the
prescription must be taken up and filed,
subject TO be inspected by the city police.
Thus it will be seen that the "dry ticket"
can now be fairly tested. We do not
mean to predict that if the prohibition
lists carry the election to-day that nobody
will ever get drunk about here, but we
do believe that it would almost do away
with drunkenness in Anderson, and would
reduce the amount of liquor sold here BY
from ninety to one hundred per cent.
This would save to the people, and in
most cases to the poor people, not less
than from thirty to fifty thousand doll
lars per year, which would 60 to giving
comforts aud pleasures at home which
are now wasted for injurious drink. II
the votes will 80 decide we have no doubt
that Mayor Tolly will carry 'he law iato
successful operation.
