Ess- We really don't see how town ca

Ras- We really don't see how town can
prosper when its business men and citizens
of means, generally, make it rule to
send their money to other towns 10 pur-
chase what they can buy at home, Of the
same quality, and if not quite as cheap, in
cash, is really cheaper when it is considered
that the money paid at home is spent at
home, and contributes TO the profits and
prosperity of every business in town
Every month we are reminded of this
injustice and utter want Of business tact, by
the presentation of merchants bills made
out on billhead4 printed in Charleston. Co.
lumbia and other cities. for which they pay
spot cash and from which neither themselves
or anyone else in town receives n cent of
benefit. We have offered and still offer to
duplicate any job Of ordinary le,terpress
printing that the citizens Of the town and
county Of Union may require, at the same
price that they pay for the same quality Of
work and material in Chrlcston, Columbia
or any other town or city in this State.
There is Tot mucli icouragsment for 4
man to hurrah for town and its people,
when he finds that his honest share of its
business is persistently sent to other towns
to enrich strangers whs do not care a
baubee whe her the town and it's people sink
or swim.

You next, even if you have TO plant corn in

or ten million bales made this yslr Ifthat be
true the price will be lower next fall than IL
is now; and II We can get the sane amount
of money for seven million bales that we
can get for ten, why do we want to make
the three uilion bales extra!

from Cal Caughman's fish trap, that Tillman
did not consult either of them, either before
or after he ordered the suit:to be instituted:
The fee of j. Randolph Tucker in the
railroad case is $4,000. Governor Tillmau
paid him $500 out of his contingent fund +,

from the same. Irby told Attorney General
Townsend and Ira Jones that they were

SMALL CHANCE FOR FIGur.-The legal
advisers Of the Liquor Dealers Association
have given the following advice to their
clients:
1--we advise your CO committee, and through
you your associates, to prepare TO meet the
statuteas valid and constitutional, and that
on and after ;aS Is; Of July, 1893, it will be
enforced.
2. In view of the heavy penalties aud
punishment prescribed by tho statute, we
cannot edvlse you to continue selling after
the 1st ~ July, 1898, but, on the contrary,
!, sdvieoyon to comply with the terms Of the
statute until it has first been adjudged iu-
valid.
B. To test the question of the consti-
tutionality of the statute on the point Of
Federal prohibition or discrimination, we
advise that proper proceedings be taken to
test the question, but that pending such pro-
ceedings and the determination thereof tho
provisions of the Act be carefully observed.
The statute, so far rs we can see, can only
Jbe tested after the 1st of July, 1893, by
the attempt Of the State or any Of its officers
{. to seize and sell liquors manufactured in
another State and exposed for sale here by
some one who has obtained aud holds Ii
oense TO sell liquors for the whole year.
The Sun epitomizes the advice of the coun-
sci as follows:
The liquor traffic is not legitimate bus
incss. In every city and State in the Union
the business is subject TO legislative enact
mcnt and police regulation, and against that
there is nothing to d.. We advise the
liquor dealers ofithe state not to spend five
cents in EesistiHg The law.
The resultis that the law will go into
, sfcet dnresisted, for the advice of the coun-
sci of the associ stion was given after the
most thorough and careful investigation of
the whole matter.
Whether The dispensary system will prove
n blessing or curse remains yet to be seen.
Its friends and opponents have most positive
aud Numerically opposite views on this
subject. Time will tell which are right
