cents. The officers of the Associa.

SOME MORE POINTS.

We thought proper in our last issue to COM
ment upon the attempt Of the Sumter Herald
to belittle the Grand Jury for its investigation
of the gouge attempted to be perpetrated upon
the taxpayers of the county by the publishers
of that paper in the matter of the County
Treasurer's report. In making our comments
We said that we bad taken very little part in
the discussion of the matter, further than the
statement of facts, because we occupied the
position of rival, and was not likely to get
foil credit for what we might say. 1t will
therefore be seen that the attempt of the
Herald to resort to that mean aud contemp-
tible subterfuge for argument was anticipated.
That paper bss failed to recognize the posi-.
ton it put itself into by ridiculing the Grand
Jury for what it was pleased to term "that
great aud searching investigation, /" &c, and
after noticing what it considered the only two
points worthy of attention, winds up with
the charge against the Ratesnan and Soatthron
of fjsaloasly and spitefuluess, venting ofspleen,
&C., which it says it can forgive. 1t can use
its pleasure; our notice of the matter Was
made from public standpoint, aud only
when it appeared that silence would be i'm
proper, and We are not concerned about the
HsralDs forgiveness.
The first thing the Herald thinks worthy of
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1894-07-25

men who have long cried for prohibi-
ton have done nothing. the city police
have made no arrests, aud nothing has
been done by anybody excepting the
liquor sellers, of course, who have made
hay while the sun shone.
The experience in Sumter satisfies us
that uatil there is vast change in the
nature and appetites of men, there can
be but two solutions Of the liquor
traffic: /. The monopoly of the traffic
by the State. as under the dispeusary
Law. 2. The license system.
The 6rst:we cannot believe constitu-
tioosl, since it's necessitates the State
engaging in business. Besides we eau
not reconcile oureelf to other features of
the dispensary Law, notably the spy sys-
tenn and the searching Of houses With
out warrant.
The license system, high license
that vill be a thoroughly restrictive
measure, with provisions for early clos
ing and to prevent and punish sales to
minors, is che solution of the problem
that would be satisfactory to us. How
ever, as much opposed to the dispensary
scheme as We have always been, and we
are aoue the less opposed noE, se would
rather have the dispensary than the
present condition of sffairs. The one
is the infringement q roasta uaeaal
rights. the other is he Disregard Of
law aud morality.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Gen. Richbourg has publicly declared
himself Reformer, much TO our surprise.
He says that he has always sympathized with
and been inclined towards the Movement and
that his candidacy on the Haskell ticket in
1890 was protest against some of the
methods of the Reform leaders and not OPP
position TO the purposes of the Movement.
Until now we have believed Gen Richbourg
to be true Straig htout Democrat, i. e., one
who opposed Tillmau and Tillmanism from a
sense OF duty, believing the whole purpose OF
Tillman TO be to get Office; and that ne
utterly repudia,ed the men and faction that
couotenanced so many wauton ISLANDERS OF
the meo Who made South Carolina what she
was in The past. In 1890 we did not support
the Haskell ticket, because we felt that all
Democrats were bound to support the regular
nominees. after the lillmanites had been
recognized as Democrats by the State Chair
man and Executive Committee and we had
ga, in the same convention with them. Then
we regarded Gen. Ricnbourg aod his associ-
ates as extremists, and incousiderate in their
eleventh hour protest against Tillmanism,
but i, never occurred to us that he was 8
Reform sympathizer. We are surprised at
his recent revelation, and having said this
the subject is exhausted. We hope the Re-
formers will admit him to the benefits of their
exclusive primary, and will give him large
vote on the strength of his long delayed rev.
elation of sympathy.

RE-oPENING The DISPEN-
SARY.

The dispensaries are to be re-opened
on August lst. and our people must de-
eide upon course Of conduct under the
conditions that will prevail. We have
Gov sTillman's word for it that be sill
enforce the Law more severely and rig
idly than ever before. This means that
the whole machinery Of che eonstabu-
larry system, spy feature, house-search-
ing and trunk-breaking. is to be revived
and reinforced. Many men predict
strife and bloodshed as the result Of
Gov. Tillman's high-handed disregard
of the Supreme Courts decision, but
We sincerely trus. that the predictions
may prove false. There has been more
than enough of that already.
Let us consider, for a moment. what
Gov. Tillman's proclamation means. It
is simply this He has no respect what
ever, for the opinion Of the majority Of
the Supreme Court; be believes that be
knows more law than they do, or if not
that, that he is law unto himself and
to the commonwealth of South Carolina.
that he has the power to carry out his
construction of the constitutionality Of
the dispeosary Law; that he is assured
Of sustaining decision By the Supreme
Court. when Jnssice-elecs Gary shall
have taken the place of Jussice McGow-
an ,and that he is thus made certain that
he can carry out bis determination to
sustain the d,spensary at least until the
end of his term in November. Then
be will step down and out leaviog bis
successor to grapple the situation as
best he may.
The situation is bad enough. truly,
and there are good grounds for all the
direfal predictions, but there are some
conditions just about as bad. One of
those conditions ne have in Sumter to-
day aud have had for weeks. It is
hardly necessary to say that We mean
the promiscuous sale Of liquor in con-
tempsuous disregard Of the Ordinance
of the City Of Sumter forbidding the
traffic. We have been told that there
are more than twenty places in this city
where liquor can be bought, and we are
not ready to deny the assertion.
Why this condition prevails We can
not say, but We are satisfied that muni-
cipal prohibition is not only Impractical
BILE but the veriest humbug. The very

give insofar as be is able. Ali that
is needed is show that Samser will be
benefited.
There are but two months between
now aud the date Of the bicycle meet
aud there will be much work to be done.
No time should be- lost, for organized
and systematic work is the only method
that will insure success. A meeting
should be called this week, or not later
than the 6r.t of next week aud an OF
ganization formed to prosecute the work.
If this is- not doueathat matter had bet

The benefit that would inure to Sum-

would be in the first place. great ad-

such an occasion will draw more people
together than any other one thing that
could be devised When We get them
here aud they see what SORT of place
we have they will come back. The
bicycle meet will briog the wheelmen,
the 6remen's tournament will bring the
6remen, the drill will bring the mill
tary. the shooting match will bring the
gunners and each attraction will draw
its particular crowd. while all together
will cause the sightseers to crowd into

to have it. and that is what we must do.
