of A lexander the Great. Alexander
in one of his wars had been struck by
a sword, and across his forehead wa6
an immense scar. The palmer said:
"If retain the scar, it will be On
offence to the admires of the monarch,
and if 1 omit it it will fail to be 8
perfect likeness. What shall I d0?,
He hit upon a happy expedient. BE

his elbow, with his forefnger on his
brow, accidentally as it seemed, cover.
ing the scar on his forehead. 80 Let
us study to paint each other, with the

neighbor, hiding the ugly mark and
revealing only the beautiful, the true
and the good.

"Prohibition doesn' prohibit, be.

where prohibition exists" say the
friends of license.
Suppose we use the same argument

Wisdom dosen't make wise, because
fools are still to be found.
Cultivation dosen't cultivate, because

ments Of last year.
This result is, no doubt. brought about by
the suggestion OF the Alliance President and
others that farmers should hold their cotton
for higher prices than was prevailing month
The effect OF such advice has been followed
in many instances, with apparent serious loss
bsve doub that tie OF isf is n
this vicinity than 1t was last year, but the In
dications are, that the declining prices will de-
prive the producer OF any advantage from the
excess OF this years crops. The price goes
down steadily and the receipts at the ports
are still large with no reasonable ground to
hope for u rise in price.
1t Is possible that Ben Terrell was perfectly
conscien tious In his advice to The South Caro-
lima farmers 10 hold their cotton, while the
farmers or his own State Crexas) were hurry

ance was sincere In his recent advice TO hold
cotton. The Indications are that the farmers
this year will realize nearly as much loss
from following President Evans advice as
they lost by following Ben Terrell's In 1890.
In the light of recent experiences we are In
clined TO the opinion that he who presumes
to advise the planters rs to the conduct Of
sefn and Il %oud appear Ts Ihat the
conflding farmer has paid very dearly for &C.

GOVERNOR TILLMAN WILL BE THE NEXT
SENATOR.

Then again, there Is no question that Gov
ernor Tiilman expects TO be candidate for
United States Senator, and one OF the rules
adopted by the Executive Committee OF the
Democratic party Of this State is, that all
Fcandidates for United States Senator shall
canvass the State during the regular cam
paign, as such candidate.
And, aside from this, be said, there would
be no reason or sense in Governor Tillman
going through the farce OF being elected Gov
ernor when 1t was settled fact that he was
TO be elected to the U. 8. Senate by the !egis-
lature within q very few days after his elec:
ton, as Governor Of the State, had been de-:

THE DISPENSARY.

He was then asked by the Reporter what
change did he think should be made In the
thonght That that part OF the hispensa act
which undertook 10 prevent railroads and
other common carriers from bringing liquors
into the State from other States should be
stricken out as not being ienable, as, accord
ing to his understanding OF the matter that
point had been definitely settled by u dccls.
ion OF the Supreme Court OF the United States !:
but there was no question In his mind that
while, according to that decision, a Slate can.
not prevent the shipment Of liquors into It's
territory from another Stale, the moment
they reach their destination they become
subject TO the laws OF that State as regards
that particular commodity, and as the law OF
South Carolina Is that all liquors shipped into
the State shall have attached TO the same the
certificate OF the State Commissioner, any
package OF liquors found Without such certifi-
cate Is liable TO seizure aud contiscation,
