Worse than Aotterrics.


The Louisina State Lottery is big
ger than the State and stronger thar
Governor Nichols. This thing is 1
disgrace to the South.-Angustt
Chronicle.
The Press and Banner agrees with
that sentiment The lottery is n
blot on our good name and should
be abolished.
But we think the State of South
Carolina, and the city of Augusta
each charter more ruinous institutions
than the lottery. For price the city
of Augusta and the State of South
Carolina each license the opening of
saloons whereby the best men of the
city, and the State together with
their families, may be utterly ruined
in estate and moral standing.
Another evil, which is doing q
thousand-fold moro damage than
either the lottery or the bar-roonl, is
the free and open sale Of villianous
patent medicines, which not only
robs the patient, but actually hurries
him to the grave. False and decep-
tive advertisements are to be found
in MANY newspapers, which hold out
hope to the consunptive, to sufferers
from Bright's disease, fits, and other
complaints, which every intelligent
citizen knows is incurable.
The lottery merely robs the people
of their spare change, while deceptive
patent medicines take from our people
the money to buy medicines which
destroy their digestive powers, that in
fact is needed to buy nourishing
food.
To those who suffer from consump,
ton, we would say that we have sec II
the statement in tho newspapers that
the doctors of Paris prescribe cod
liver oil in not more than one
case in sixteen. All the cod liver
emulsions are in our opinion delusive
and expensive. In one spoonful of
good butter, there is more nourish-
ment than there is in a dose of cod
liver oil, or any of the emulsions OF
which it is a part.
The greatest outrage which is be.
ing perpetrated on the American pub
lie to day is the unlimited sale of pat
ent medicines.
The Louisiana Lottery is as moth
ing when compared to the work ot
q hundred thousnd bar-rooms and
the wholesale distribution of patent
medicines.

| AS HERETOFORE published, Hon. w
j, Talbert, State lecturer of the Far
iners' Alliance, addressed the farmer.
of Pickens county in the court house
last Tuesday. The crowd was not a.
large as was expected, but the solio
farmers of the county were well rep
resented.
The meeting was called to ordei
by President e. S. Griffin, and open,
ed with prayer by Rev. B. Holder.
For want of space we only give q
short synopsis of the lecture:
Mn. CHAIRMAN AND FELLOW CITIZENS:
J will preach from any regular text,
but speak on general subjects. You
must study the great principles of
the Alliance for yourselves. He then
proceeded to tell what the order had
done for the people of the whole
country and the great tidal wave of
prosperity it had brought about, and
the relief it had brought the farmers
by the overthrowing of trusts and
combinations that oppressed him.
The continued success of the order
depends on the farmer sticking to-
gcther, but do everything on the
principle of right and justice. The
object of the order is to lift the far
mer up and out of debt, and any
man that was not a member of the
Alliance should blush for shame. The
order does not seek the downfall of
any of the legitimate trades or pro-
fessions, but the farmers must, now
that their eyes are open, do their
thinking and act for themselves and
come out from their hiding places
and make themselves felt. The high
tariff is the greatest evil we have to
deal with. We must down the gam
blers in stocks and spectators in
farm products. We must stick togeth-
er. If you do not do it you should
be slaves the rest of your lives. I
had hopes one time that the press and
tradesmen would stand by us, but !
have lost the hope in great meas
ure. The speaker touched on all the
important topics of the day in very
plain, straightforward way, and if we
had space would give the lecture in
full. He handled the News and Cou
rier pretty rough and claimed that
there was no danger of n split in the
| white mans party. The Grange once
gave the Democrats the control OF
Congress and now the Alliance would
do it, again, that it was the aim of
the order to give us a Democratic
government. He advised against the
boycott and all methods of that kind.
The speaker was listened to with
great nt;cntion and iberally applaud
ed throughout his whole speech. He
spoke two hours and twenty minutes
in fair and fearless way. At the
close of the address, the following
resolutions were introduced by J. E.
Boreughs and unanimously adopted :
Resolved, 1st, That we hereby en-,
dorse the sub-treasury bill as intro,
duccd in the lower house Of Congress
by Picker, of South Dakota.
I'd, That we hereby declare our in
tention not to support for Congress
any candidate who does not endorse
the same or one of a similar import
3D., That these resolutions be sent
to the Cotton Plant and county pa
pers for publication.

CLERK BOOKER'S STATEMENT.
He Denies Offering to Sell n Copy Of the
Marriags-C Certificate.

Mr.. John Booker. clerk of Elizabeth
City County Court, requests the Dispatch To
publish tho following statement:
Seeing in your yesterdays issue clip
ping from the New York World in regard to
the Green case which reflects upon my
character. | beg leave to make use Of .
small space in your valuable columns to re-
fute the charges therein and to rectify the
error.
The statement that /, knowing tho mar
riage-certifcate TO have been returned to
my Office, refused to let the World CORE
spondent have ii. and that ] afterwards Of
fered to sell it to him for fifty dollars, de-
nounce as untrue.
Though the license had been returned to
my office, il was entirely without my know
ledge, as / can easily prove. The fact that
| made every effort TO secure the certif-
cate for Mr.. A, c. Pike. who applied for it
a. World correspondent (to which fact he
will testify. certainly shows that had no
knowledge of the whereabouts of said GER
tificate, which was subsequently, found by
my deputy, to whom (by the statement OF
Shorts) it was delivered when it was re-
turned to my Office.
As soon as my deputy informed me that
he had found the said certificate made o
copy of it. which gave to the World cor
respondent and stated to him how IL had
been found. He then informed me in the
presence of Mr.. Pike that the World would
compensate me for my trouble, but the
statement that charged him $50 or any
other amount for the same Is entirely
without foundation.

The action of the Virginia Midland road
in establishing a rate of ~ cents per 100
pounds from Baltimore to Orange Court
house on such staples IA meats. molasses,

tuted commissioner created by the state.

fore the Senate Committee on Roads, VINO

in the Legislature to secure the passage OF
a bill that will be just both to the railroads
and the public.
