from grass and the land was smooth
and free from clods, everything indi-
eating that the owner Of the farm was
firm believer in the doctrine that
effect is impossible unless preceded by
cause.
Mr.. Wilkerson's land is slightly
rolling and in order to keep it from
washing away it has been well ter
raced. In fact the terraces not only
arrest the waste in the land, but each
year make it better and better by
causing it to retain all that is put on
it. One particular piece of land was
noticed that at some points had been
built up to depth of nearly one foot
in the past two or three years.
Everything about the farm denotes
business and thrift, and there is an
entire absence Of the slipshot-go-
lucky method so common on Southern
farms. The writer has been person
ally acquainted with Mr.. Wilkerson
for nearly FIVE years, but long before
he had met the man he heard of the
"elegant and expensive farm and sta
bles that Billy Wilkerson had built
on his plantation" and how conyen-
lent they were, etc. The barn and
stables were found to be models OF
convenience of great holding capacity.
The erection of this building has in.
duced Others to initiate its owner, and
each year better and better facilities
are being provided for the care of
stock in York County.
This article would be incomplete
without some reference to Mr.. Will
kerson's residence. 1t is an elegant
two.story frame building and was, it
is said, designed by its owner. 1t is
a model of convenience, and is taste
fully furnished throughout and the
drawing room especially. Here is
found everything in the way of ele-
CANT furniture that is calculated to be
either useful or ornamental, and an
elegant upright piano of standard
make was also noticed.
Farmers who may read this article
should be informed that it is written
in compliance with a promise made
last winter, and is prepared for no
other reason than to show that farm
ing is a profitable business when con-
Quoted on business principles, and to
show that what has been accomplished
by this man by applying his talents
and using his energy along this spe-
cial line can be done by others who
will follow in his footsteps. MIR. Will
kerson takes very little interest in
politics, and hasn't the remotest idea
that single dollar will ever be placed
in his pocket by the political agitators
now abroad in the land.

1t Has Come to Stay.
Columbia State.

Just at present the dispensary
question is being kept out Of the polit-
ical discussions. Ever since the law
was declared unconstitutional and the
dispensaries were all shut up, every
one has been wondering what was
coming next. Governor Tillman and
all the dispensary advocates have been
keeping their mouths shut. Every
one knew that the battle for the dis
pensary was not dead and that the
whole thing would come up again at
some time. The question has been
when.
It begins to look now as if things
are going to remain as they are till
after the campaign and the Legisla-
ture has convened. Then the law
will be remodeled in all probability
and all the grog shops will be reopen
ed.
But Governor Tillman has had some
thing to say at last which shows that
the fight for the dispensary is not
ended. He recently wrote an article
for the North american Reuie,o on the
constitutionality Of the law and this
article has just appeared in the July
number. The concluding paragraphs
of it are as follows:
''Most men would no doubt contend
for the inalienable right to drink whis-
key no sensible man, Of this time,
will contend for an inalienable right
to sell it. There being no prohibition,
express or implied, in our Constitu-
ton to prevent the States selling Ii
ouor IN the exercise of it's police
power, the argument falls to the
ground i; and the people, through their
representatives, have the right to pass
on the wisdom or unwisdom Of the
law in question. It is usurpation,
pure and simple, for the Judges to
stand up and say to them, You shall
not regulate the liquor traffic in this
manner. :.
"Will the people Of South Carolina
submit to this ? is the question that
mostly interests the outside world.
Once before when our Supreme Court,
in 1882, attempted this kind Of usur-
patton the Legislature met and abol-
ished the Court. The people in the
United States are the source Of all
political power. They are greater
than constitutions and courts. They
make and can unmake both. Fortu-
nately, at the coming election in this
State, the question of calling a con,
stitutional convention will be voted
on. The friends Of temper
ancc may rest easy. The South Caro-
lima experiment is not dead, nor is it
likely to die. The dispensary law is
stronger with the people since the
decision Of the court than it was be-
fore; and if it be necessary to give
the direct power to the State to enter
into business, the people will incor-
porate it in the organic law. l repeat
it, as my deliberate judgment, that
the dispensary system has come to
stay. and that if it is not constitu.
tional it will be made so. In face OF
the decisions I have cited, however,
and the arguments advanced, it ap-
pears to me impossible for any reason
able man to deny that the law is legi.
innate exercise of the police power, and
that it is just as constitutional for the
State to sell liquor as for the State to
license it's sale. If the State can pro-
hibit its sale altogether-and this no
one is bold enough to deny-the State
can do anything less, for the whole is
greater than any part.

THE UNIFORM BALLOT LAW.

This law was enacted for the
sole purpose of permitting the
democrats to commit fraud by
throwing out votes. There is no
man making the minutest claim to
honesty or decency who will con-
tend that there was any good
reason why the ticket should be
exactly seven inches long and three
inches wide. There is a reason
why the paper should be white
a reason why the ticket should no,
have marks upon it, but none why
it should be 7x3. The last legisl,-
ture made slight concession by
providing that it might vary 1 Of
an inch in length and I-r6 in
width.
