To Fight the Devil.

Reform a dvocate.
The liquor elements of the whole
United States are massing their
forces in South Carolina, for the
success of the dispensary system
means it's extention and adoption
by other States, hence the relent-
less warfare now being waged upon
it. Millions of dollars if needs be,
will be contributed by the liquor
men to carry on the fight, hundreds
of men may be slain in this strug-
gle of morality with vice, yet we
have an abiding faith that right
will prevail. 1t is foolish to un-
dorestimate the strength of our
enemies, we have before us the
hardest fight ever entered into by
our people, it will only nerve us to
greater exertion, and when we can
in security put aside our armour,
the realization that the fight was
hard, can only add zest to the en-
ioyment of the victory.

LET THE LAW RULE.

A, gentleman of undoubted re-
liability, who lives near Reidville,
sent for Deputy Marshal Kirby to
come out on a blind tiger hunt.
the report came also that six
teen sturdy moonshiners from the
CLASSY Mountain section Of Green
vile county have been preambu-
lating around Reidville several
days with a wagon load of whis-
key, which they were selling openly
and above board to ANYBODY who
desired. The entire party we're
armed to their teeth, with Win
chesters, shot guns, pistols, and
and knives.-Herald.
The ADVERTISER has been dis
posed to think that Gov. Tillman's
constables were too reckless of hu-
man life in enforcing the dispen-
sary law, but the above, a clipping
from the Spartanburg Herald, pre-
sents a state of facts that require
harsh measures, and Gov. Tillman
is simply fighting the devil with
fire. Men who carry "Winchesters
and knives and shotguns" to en-
able them to violate the law must
be met by men armed with like
deadly weapons to enforce it. There
is no other alternative, no other
solution of the matter.
If the law cannot be enforced
by ordinary means then extraor-
dinary means must be resorted to
or anarchy will rule instead of law.
If there shall be blood shed the
responsibility will be placed where
it belongs upon the law breakers
and those who are by their SYM
pathy and encouragement aiding
and abetling.
Let the law be enforce d.

Why don't the people qnit kick
ing against the dispensary law?
1t is a great deal better than the
old barroom system. 1t is true we
voted for prohibition, but did not
expect to get it, except in a modi-
fed form and while the present
law does not fully meet our appro-
baton, yet it should be given a
fair trial. We notice that tits not
prohibitionists who are doing the
kicking, but the roughs and toughs
of creation, aided and encouraged
by a lot of disgruntled, detected,
sour, lonesome newspapers and re-
porters who will not be satisfied
after they are dead unless they can
kick.-Easley Democrat.

We hear the statement frequent
ly and have noticed in many of our
State exchanges the assertion,tha a
constable has right to enter private
dwellings and search for liquors
even in the most private
apartments, without q warrant.
This is told by many in ignorance
and by others who know that it is
incorrect. Here is copy of por-
tion of the instruction furnished
over the signature of B. R. Till
man to those officers who are charg-
ed with the enforcement of the
law:
aThe right to search without q
warrant applies only to places OF
business and public places-and
in all cases where liquor is Leliev-
ed to be in private residences and
ia being sold, search warrants
must be issued"

TO TRY THE DISPENSARY

Some time last year the State OF
Massachusetts, by act of its Legis,
laturc, appointed a commission tc
investigate the Norwegian or Goth
enburg system of regulating the
liquor trade. This is the system in
force in South Carolina now and
called the dispensary law.
This commission consisted OF
Judge John Lowell, DR.. Henry P
Bowditch, ,and Rev. John G. Brooks.
three eminent citizens of the COM
monwealth. They employed a Mr.,
Koren who spentconsiderable time
in Norway and Sweden in investi-
cation.
The report which he has fur
nished the data for, is full of val
liable statistics which show the
merits of the systems which are
studied, as we'll as their weak
points. Not only is the general
situation given in each of these
countries, but several of the largest
places, such as Gothenburg, Stock
.hnl-,, D--o---J--1--AI~---,-
mn and studied in detail. Statis-
tics are given to show the excessive
consumption of liquors before
1855, which led to the agitation
for reform, and the success OF the
new system is established from its
good results as seen in the in
creased sobriety of the people and
in the improvement of their ma
terial condition.
Public opinion is said to be very
strong in favor of the Gothenburg
system. "The average citizen,
who pursues his way without much
concern for affairs nor lmme-
diately touching his personal in
terest, makes an exception when
questioned as to the company sys-
tenn and pronounces its advantages
great without hesitation, Much
more emphatic are The declarations
of those whose position in society
lend special weight to their opln-
ion. Not for moment would
they entertain the thought of going
back to the old regime, with brandy
shops on every corner for the en-
richment of private persons. In
the words of the chief OF police OF
Gethenburg the difference between
conditions under the old an the new
order of things is as the difference
between night and day"
It is said that there is ample
support for the statement that
drunkenness has fallen off as the
company system has extended
and it is absolutely known thai
the consumption per capita hai
fallen off one-half."

NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was meyer time in the his
tory of our country when the demand
for inventions and improvements in
the arts and sciences generally was so
great as now. The conveniences of
mankind in the factory and work
shop, the household, on the farm, and
in official life, require continual ac-
cesslons to the appurtenances and
implements Of each in order to save
labor, time, and expense. The political
change in the administration of the
government does not affect the progress
of the American inventor, vi o being
on the alert and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit
the affairs of government to deter him
from quickly conceiving the remedy to
overcome existing discrepancies. Too
great care cannot be exercised in choos
nga competent and skillfully attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an ap-
plication for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in in
Vulnerable instances by the employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
pay" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class of attorneys
do so at imminent risk, as the breadth |
and strength of the patent is never
considered in view of quick endeavor
to get an allowance and obtain the
fee then due. THE PRESS CLAIMS
