Shall Wo Have q Maino Iaw9

COLUMBIA, OctODef l6.-Ine prOh1Dl-
ton problem will unquestionably be the
most important that will come up at the
approaching session Of tho Legislature.
Ambitious Legislators are already framing
bills with which they hope to rid the
State not only Of bar rooms but of the
entire liquor business. The Blease bill,
seem to give satisfaction to the orthodox
Prohibitionists. They claim that such
bill would not, if passed, stop the general
sale of liquor. In other words it would
make apothecary shops branch Offices of
the United States treasury department, at
least as far as the m0ney-maklng capacity
was concerned.
The leaders of the prohibition move.
nent will introduce a bill, similar in
most of its details with the Child's bill
which met with an untimely fate in the
Senate last year. If they could The Pro-
hibitionists would like to make the bill
even more rigid than that of Lost year.
They feel absolutely confident as to their
success this year. Thoy have, they claim,
over three-fourths majority in both the
House and the Senate, and that any sem
sible bill that they may Introduce will
be sure to succeed.
Governor Tillman, it is understood, is
gathering up statistics about the liquor
revenue of the State with the purpose of
giving his views to the Legislature, and
very probably to carry out his. idea that
the revenue from liquor ought to be dis
tributed between tho cities and counties.
In his message to the Legislature last
year Governor Tillman said:
"Now, while do not believe that it is
practicable, or even desirable to attempt
the absolute prohibition of the sale of Ii.
quor in this State, no sensible man will
DENY that one-half or three quarters Of
the crimes committed III this State are
traceable directly to the drinking of whis-
key"
He goes on to say that it is unjust aud
unequal to tax the county to pay the ex-
penses oftrying crimes for which the sale
of liquor was responsible and for which
the cities secured the entire revenue.
There are between seven hundred and
eight hundred bar rooms in the State, but
with the Senatorial bee buzzing in his
bonnet it is not at all likely that Govern.
or Tillman will Interfere with any bill
that may be passed hya majority of the
Houses.
The question now is, will the Legisla-
say that the mem bers when they get
here will be shown the danger Of passing
such bill and vote against it. The en-
tire question in nutshell with many of
them will be, "If vote against prohibi-
ton can I get back to the Housef" In
many Of the counties the majorities gro
so very small that there is no certainty
how the Representatives will vote. In
Berkely, Florence, Kershaw, Lexington,
Cconee, Pickens and Union the pro-
hibition majorities have not run up to
250.-SpeciaI to Ne,pS and Courier.

SHEEP vs.. DOGS.

Capt. j. c.. Stribbling has communi-
cation in this issue that will doubtless
receive the appreciation OF all thoughtful
persons. It is generally conceded now
that tho South needs diversity of indus
tries. She has raised 80 much cotton that
it is well-nigh drug on the market.
Sheep raising would naturally be re-
sorted to by our people where the climate,
pasturage, etc., invite it, were it not for
the mischief so often done the hocks by
the prowling and hungry ours and mon-
grels that infest every township and
neighborhood.
The unfortunate experience Of those
who have attempted to raise few sheep
is generally that their flock is destroyed
in one night, and they give up in despair,
and their neighbors profit by their ex-
perience. Hence it is getting to be that
few sheep in a pasture are regarded as
curiosity by the traveller.
We think Captain Stribling's remarks
and suggestions may give to some of our
Legislators the basis for bill that may
be the means Of making the sheep indus
try profitable to the people Of the State.
A bill to promote the raising Of sheep
in the State will necessarily contain a
clause providing for the destruction of
their enemy, the dog. Perhaps the
surest way to bring about the necessary
decrease in the canine population will be
to impose such tax as Capt. stribbling
suggests.
We have no war to make on good dogs,
however. We only wish to see the sheep.
killing kind safely disposed Of.
This matter ID entitled to the serious
consideration Of the people, and we feel
safe in saying that prudent measure
looking to the promotion of sheep raising
in the State will meet with universal ap-

HOW PRESIDENTS ARE MADE.

+ Pr0f. j. y. McCook, OF Ir1nIy Co1eSe,
Hartford, Conn.,, has an interesting arti-
Gle in the September Forum on "The
Alarming Proportion of venal Voters"
From number of carefully prepared
tables of statistics, based on reliable in
formation, he finds that the percentage OF
the venal vote for Connecticut is 15.9.
Drawing aconclusion from the facts in
his possession, he says; "There ara
twenty-six thousand three hundred and
ninety-four purchasable voters in Con.
neoticut." The Professor says the vote
OF that State is one hundred and sixty'
six thousand.
That Is an astonishing and alarming
statement to make concerning the voters
of puritanical Connecticut. 1t indicates
woeful decadence of patriotism and
manhood, and is selling of the birth
right for a mess Of pottage (ora a drink OF
whiskey.) Yet we cannot call into ques-
ton the accuracy Of the statements and
figures Of 80 well known and Intelligent
a man as Prot. McCook.
The price paid for vote ranged from
Sl.50 to $50.
A fact worthy recording is that the
venal voters came largely from the ranks
of men who drink whiskey. The author
of the article finds that "out of every
thousand of Incorporate voters, five
hundred and forty were venal: in every
thousand drunkards, seven hundred and
ninety were venal; in every thousand
shiftless, all were venal; in every thous-
and total abstainers, three hundred and
forty-two were venal; while in every
thousand temperate voters, forty-fve
only were venal. Out Of every thousand
voters known to have been arrested or
imprisoned-chiefy for drunkenness and
its attendant crimes-seyen hundred and
seventy-eight were venal-"
In that State the greatest number of
venal voters were of American stock; the
next, OF Irish the next, Of German the
next, of English and Scotch, etc.
The facts above given throw ighs on
the interesting process Of making presi-
dent for these United States. The tariff
and the silver questions, the force bill,
the pension appropriation, personal
popularity OF the candidates, party pride.
and such like considerations, have much
to do with the making Of presidents, but
who can tell whether these matters, OF
the almighty dollar and the corrupt voter
exert the greater influence In making us
apresident?
In the last two presidential elections
Connecticut went Democratic. In 1854
Cleyeland's plurality was 1924 and. in
1883 his plurality was 1856. It seems,
therefore, that the political influence of
this State can be changed with the change
Of few votes. Votes are worth only
from s1.5O to $50 each. Where, then,
will such corrupt State be after the
November election?
Connecticut may be fair sample OF
tho average Northern State in the yerali.
ty Of her voters, but we believe statistics
would show more manly and indepen-
dent spirit and less corruption among the
white voters of our land.
1t is getting to be an interesting matter
to know what it costs party to mslle q
president, and how much a party is Will
ling to give to get the president.

Short but Simnlc.

Durirg the recent campaign the county
c.. .'';dates for legislative honors discuss
e:i somewhat the subject Of prohibition.
but all were pledged to abide the result
of the prohibition box.
A large majority Of tho votes cast in
this separate box were for prohibition.
The question will come up before the
next Legislature. There will probably
he variety of bills on the subject, and
the trouble is going to be among the pro-
hibitionists themselves or rather those
who have been elected pledged to pro-
hibition. If there should be some who
are opposed to prohibition themselves,
but Whose constituents voted for probib-
ition, they will no doubt case their con-
science and explain the nattor away to
tion to the bill itself. Governor Tillman
is not pledged to prohibition, but his po-
sition is known to be division Of
the license between the town and the
county.
The action of the Legislature on this
question will be watched with interest.
Hon. Cole L. Blease has prepared bill
which he says he will introduce at the be-
ginning Of the session. The following is
the text of the bill:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives Of the State ofSouth
Carolina, now met and sitting in General
Assembly, and by the authority of the
same:
Section l. That from and after the
first day Of April, A. D. 1893, no person
shall manufacture for sale, sell, keep for
sale, exchange, barter or dispense any
intoxicating liquor, vino, beer or bitters
for any purpose whatever In this State:
Provided, That nothing contained In
this Act shall prevent ministers of the
Gospel administering wine to communi-
cants at the altar.
Sec. Q. Any person upon conviction OF
violating this Act shall be punished by a
fine Of not less than five hundred dollars
or more than one thousand dollars, or
imprisoned in the State Penitentiary for
term of not less than five or more than
ton years for each otfenso.
Sec. 8. That one-half Of said fine shall
he paid to tho informant and the other
cne-half to tho free schools Of the county

Convention. His pame was first pre-
sented by the Belvidere Apollo, the
strongest Republican paper published in
the Fourth Congressional district. The
editor Of the apollo. in presenting the
name of Judge Blair, argued that Hudson
county next fall will be the battle ground,
and that Mr., Blair would make great
fight there. He took an active part in
the MayAratg election. which secured
The election of Peter Wanser.
In view of the fact that there seems to
be growing around the Guberuatorial
canvass more on less complication, che
name of ex-Judge Blair is suggested as a
possible compromise candidate. Beyond
this statement there is nothiag new in
reference to the Republican contest tits
now Understood that General Grubb will
come back within the next two weeks
fully determined to secure the nomina-
tion If possible. Whether a critical ex-
animation of the field will cause him to
change his tactics cannot now be stated.
the indications seem to point to a very
warm contest just about the time that the
mercury goes up to the boiling point.
