of the little ones, rushed through the
flames and smoke to their rescue, The tive
eldest, John and Maggie. were carried Out
insensible and seriously burned. The
youngest child, babe of three months,

SpartanburS's Unjust and Discrimf"
nHting Ordinance.

We think about rs foolish and unjust an Or
dinance as was ever adopted by any city, or
other law-making power, is that which dis
criminates against known drunkardss If
bar rooms are to be licensed, drunk
ards, or others who have acquired TASTE for
liquor, should he allowed to buy to satisfy
their thirst If bar rooms are intended only
to develop in sober people the love for whis-
key, they should not be denied the privilege
of buying 1t after they have become slave
to il. We believe any such ordinance to be
unconstitutional. At any rate 1t violates
ones sense of justice and fair-dcallng.
Another iniQuiiy OF the Spartanburg busi-
ness is the high license, 81 900. BY that high
price they deprive any but the rich the right
to sell whiskcy, and by excluding competitors
and rivals, q monopoly is formed whereby
the price of liquor IS increased. If the citl-
zcns need whiskey, 1t is wrong to charge such
license as TO shut off competition In lis sale.
Without competition the quality OF the whis-
key may be lowered, and it is certain that
moncpolics seldom reduce prices. After all,
we think the council has acted worse for the
town in raising the license and forbidding for
mer customers to buy liquors, than did
the voters in authorizing them to grant IL.
cense. No poor man need try to sell liquor In
need try to buy il. The bar rooms must de-
pend on new customers, in whom they must
develop love for Intoxicating liquors.

A Comparison.

The Abbevillc Press and Banner in its last
t%sEe compares the expenses of the Radical
regime with the Democratic government of
Abberilie county and proves by the figures
that tie Democrats were more cNtravaga n I
and wa>teiul during period of SIX contrased
years by sum exceeding fifteen thousand
dollars, and the Radical years were years too
OF high prices for cotton and general prosper
ity. These figures our cnierpriSing cOtcmpo-
rary has laid on the tables of members OF the
legislature and we hope great good may come
of it.-EagefcM AdrertiSer.
Our much respected ncighbor seems to mis-
understand us. We did not mean to say that
the tota! expenses Of the county Government
was less In Radical than in Democratic times.
The Radicals, in the aggregate, spent q little
more for county expenses than the Democrats
spend. The chief difference was in the main
tenancc of the poor and the building OF
bridges The Democratic government cut OIL
the rations of the poor very much. The Rad.
1cals spent about 5000 a year for paupers in
and out Of the poor house. The democrats
reduced that figure 10 perhaps one-third of the
Radical figure. We do not know exactly how
much, but we believe the Democrats increased
the cost of constables, trial justices, and feed
ing of prisoners, to sufficient extent to
absorb all that they saved from the pauperS
The Radicals spent on the poor. The Demo.
Gratis spend on officers and constables. The
Radical Judges could get along with only q
few Court conStnbles. Big Aaron and one or
two others sufficed, but now it takes a large
number TO wait on the Court. We think oui
Judges are forgetful of the people when they
approve so many claims of useless officers
The Democrats have to go to a remote corner
of the county for Il jury commissioner, instead
of appointing that officer from among the cit
izens of the village. BY appointing Il jury
commissioner from great distance the pay o
that officer is greatly increased because of tho
extra charge for "mi!cagc."
The difference in bridge building is some
thing. In Radical times the county paper
was sold at a large discount, and this forced
higher prices for bridges. Soon after the wal
lumber sold for SO a thousand. II can now
be had at from 50 to So q thousand.
