The Liquor Question.

We ask attention TO an excellent article
which We copy from the Associate Reformed
Presbyterian on the subject Of the "Dispen
sary and the Bars" The dispensary has
changed the condition of the liquor question
in South Carolina. and there is now no room
or place for a prohibition fight. Under the
changed condition prohibitions lists or temper
ance people must work to bring about any
needed changes In the dispensary law, as Il
now stands. Prohibitionists or temperance
people, have gained most important advan
tage, and they must hold to 1t. While the dis
pensary is not prohibition, yet under II
many evils have been totally or are partially
remedied:
!. The habit OF treating has been almost
totally broken up, which is of itself an i'm.
mense gain in preserving the morals and so
briefly Of our people.
2. The open saloon by candle light. has
been closed. We all know what that means
for temperance.
8. The political power of the saloon has
been broken up.
4. The reduced sales OF whiskey must be
gratifying to every lover OF temperance.
8. Under the dispensary system, there is No
lnuucement lor tne dispenser 10 increase his
sales, and the mere fact that he Is not allowed
to sell liquor on a credit will have beneficial
effect in many instances.
Since the cities have shown such determi
nation to prevent even the curtailment OIL
their liquor supplies, 1t is perfectly plain that
the prohibitionists could not have enforced
prohibition.
The kicking cities would have made mock
cry or prohibition and defied the enforcement,
OF the law, even az they have defied the dis
pensary law. Butthe believers In the dispen
sary law being so much stronger in numbers
than the prohibitionists, the cities will be
made to obey the law which they have ridi
culed and attempted to nullify. This fgh1
against the dispensary shows what hold the
liquor men had on the govern ment Of the cit
les, and the opposition TO the dispensary Ii
the best evidence OF the salutary effect of the
law.
The people Of the State must stand to the
dispensary. 1t is one OF the very best laws or
the books, and 1t must be enforced.

That Mosquito Business the Bot
tom of all the Trouble.
NEW YORK, Dec. ga special
dispatch to the World from Kings.
ton, Jamaica, says: Some very
misleading statements have re-
Gently been published in New
York regarding the situation at
Mosquito. Perhaps the most Sc
rious of these is that concerning
the alleged definite re-incorpora-
tion of tho reservation with the
republic OF Nicaragua. According
to the stipulations OF the treaty Of
Managua, OF 1860, it was compe-
tent for Mosquito to voluntarily
incorporate with the republic, but
Nicaragua was prohibited from
using any force or undue influence
to bring about that end. Andrew
Hendy, the chief, who was in
stalled November 30, was chosen
by the votes of a few Indians act
ing under pressure from Gen. Ca
beZas, having in fact, been held
prisoners at Bluefields until they
consented as delegates to indorse
the election of Hendy. The latest
news that reached here is that the
Indians are doing their best to
have the true circumstances OF the
election OF Hendy brought to the
notice OF the United States and
Great Britain, so that the stipula-
tions of the Managua treaty may
be yet enforced. The influences at
work against them are very strong
and not the least is the gross
Misrepresentation that is being
made in American newspapers.
All the indications show that Mic
aragua is deliberately drawing
the wool over the eyes OF the
Washington and London govern
ments, so as to secure their non-in-
PREVENTION while they deprive the
poor Indians Of the rights secure d
for them, by treaty endorsed by
both powers.

Horrible Motor Accident.

Thousands Of people witnessed a
heart rendering scene on Myrtle
avenue near Bridge street last
night. Frank Toleri, fifteen year
old boy, was struck by a trolley
car while attempting to cross the
avenue. With his legs nearly
severed above the ankles he was
wedged between the forward wheels
and the motor box. In that posi-
ton he remained for forty-five
minute gasping in agony. 1t was
impossible to move the car back
or forward without crushing out
the little life left in the boy. A
gang of men from the Office Of the
company finally arrived and had
to tear the car apart before the
boy could be extricated. He will

NOT A HAPPY ASTOR.
THE SECLUSIVENESS OF THE ENG
LISH FAMILY Is NOT
RELISHED.
Mrs Astor's Death Has Made Re-
cluse of Aston and He May
Sell Cliveden.

NEW YORK, Dec. ga special
to the World from London says:
The strict seclusion observed by
the Astor family at Cliveded the
past three months, has been much
discussed in the neighboring viii
lage Of Taplow. The Astors pre-
served a secrecy touching Mrs. AS
tors illness which is usual only
with royalty, and it is sta ted on
all sides that far less is known
about the affairs Of the mansion in
the vicinity than when it was ten
anted by the Duke of Westminster
and other men who live in history.
The Worlds correspondent learned,
however, that the principal feature
of the deceased lady's illness was a
profound depression which could
not be dispelled, rendered her case
almost hopeless from the first.
Mrs. Astor suffered from a severe
illness early in the year. Since
then her health has never been ro-
bust, but it transpired only about
three weeks ago, owing to the visits
of a leading London doctor, that
she was again sick. 1t is said now
that though her physical ailments
were severe they might have been
aimenable to the treatment had
the patient seconded the efforts OF
her doctors to fight against them.
Death came somewhat suddenly
and quite Unexpectedly, it being
believed both by the family and
the physicians that there was no
immediate danger, though little
hope of ultimate recovery was en-
tertained.
The husband is completely pros
trated by the blow, weakened as he
was by apprehension, which had
oppressed him sorely. Fer several
weeks he had been seen little in
society, though he rarely missed
going to his handsome office in
London a few hours each day. 1t
has been Mr.. Astor's custom to see
his lawyers and accountants al
most every day, and to confer
with the editors of his various
publications. He often dictates ar.
ticles to shorthand clerks, and, in
deed, exhibits a business capacity
which long ago convinced all
brought in contact with him that
had he not inherited fortune he
certainly would have made one.
His wife's illness and death have
accumulated Mr.. Astor's increasing
distaste for social pleasures and
practically made him recluse.
When able to be out Mrs. Astor
took a great interest in the recon-
struction of Cliveden. The people
of Taplow tell how on one occasion
after a spell of illness Mrs, Astor
had the workmen do over again all
the work that had been accom-
plished during her absence at great
expense.
1t is now common rumor In Tap
low that Mr.. Astor will leave Give
den, which may be repurchased by
the Duke of Westminster who al
ways regretted selling it.
1t is also thought in Taplow that
Mr.. Astor will return to live in
America but this Is not at all prob
able, all his plans being based on
making England his permanent
home.

Although Ashland has a large number
and variety OF entertainments. that at
the college chapel tonight was alto
gether novel and thoroughly interesting.
An exhibition was given by the physical
culture department of Randolph Macon
College, and the performances by the
young men were the result Of weeks Of
hard work and careful training. The eX-
hibition was under the supervision Of the
director of that department, Professor
Brown.
The first number consisted of the cele-
brated Roberts dumb-bell drill perform
ed by the class in unity and perfect time
to music Worthy OF special notice. also,
were the wand drill conducted by Nj.
Beckley; work on the horizontal bar by
Mr. Wood, of Bristol. and on the parallel
bars by Professor Brown, the acrobatic
tumbling the strength displayed in the
pyramid work, and the symmetrical fig
ures on the Roman ladder. The athletic
exercises were interspersed with songs
from the Ashland Male Quartette and
choice female voices OF the town.
