The Whiskey Propaganda,

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. PIT appears
that one ct the cardinal principles of the
new Administration is the establishment
of new dispensariss. This is said to be
an efectual weapon against the "blind
tiger" as we'll as a safe way of increasing
the profits Of the system. Commissioners
elect Mixson this morning said that he
expected that by the middle Of March
there would be twenty-five additional
dispensaries in operation. He wanted to
see the goods sold, and that those who
bought LIQUOR would get the "ohemically
pure" that was put up by the dispensary.
While the matter had not been definitely
decided there would probably be four
new dispensaries started in Charleston (;
three in the rural districts OF Colleton.
Then up in the Piedmont section dispen-
sarIes are to be opened to see what can be
done towards crushing out the moonshine
liquor. 1t will probably be very diff
cult task. Greenwood, it Is said, wants
to get thu sense Of the people on the
question of opening dispensary. If the
rate keeps up it will not be long before
every town in the State will be provided
with o place for the distribution of the
States liquor.
Talking about the "blind tigers" Chief
Constable FAINT said that while he is not
satisfied that the "blind follows" have
been killed out, he is satisfied that they
are helping to kill themselves out in the
most effectual manner by selling ''stnf''
that is not fit to drink. The "tigers"
found the business SO very risky that
thew were forced to make maximum
profit and sell the worst grade of liquor
to be obtained. This was his experience,
at least.
Chief FAINT and Chief Holley will each
have twenty men, and if they carry out
the avowed instructions they will have
nothing to do with "tigers." Chief FAINT
saws that this force will be distributed
among the various counties, but that II
the present sentiment in certain of the
counties kept up they would not be
wanted, He had special reference to
Abbeville and Edgefeld counties. which
seem to be in very good condition 30
far as the dispensary is concerned, as far
as Chief Fant's observation goes.
Now that it is known that Superinten-
dent Mixson has been promoted to the
position Of commissioner there is quite q
flood of applications for his position.
Just at this time it would be impossible
to say who will get the appointment.
The dispensary will after this use one
at. 3 of bottles for all of its whiskeys. II
will be Jo-Jo shaped flask, which is
made by the Pennsylvania Glass Works,
Of which Mr.. W. st. Julien Yates is the
active Southern representative. The pal
metto tree and the lettering will remain
the same as at present. The flask is
somewhat bevelled at the bottom, and
makes very gaod appearance. 1t is Of
white flint glass. The same old coffin:
shaped labels seem to be holding their
own in good fash!on.-Special to Ney,
and Courier.

tional Party.

It has been quite long time, nearly a
year in fact, since the statement was
made that the then Governor. B. r. Till
maI, the "Moses'' of South Carolina, was
setting his cap for something beyond the
United States Senate; that he was look.
ing to the possible organization of new
National Third party in American poll
tics, and to being put up as ono Of its
leaders. Nearly every one perhaps has
forgotten the interview the new Senator
gave along this line about the middle of
March last, but his utterances at the time
will be easily recalled when one reads q
letter he penned few days ago.
For some time Thomas F. Byron, the
editor of the Des Moines, Iowa, Farmers
Tribune, has been agitating the organiza-
ton of q new National Third party, to be
known as the "National Reform Move
ment." He has been publishing series
of letters from all the big Western and
Southwestern leaders of the old Third
party and of the Democratic party, Ia
Tillman. Many of the leaders differ on
certain particulars, but all agree that the
time has come for new national party
to be tounded-a party differing in its
demands from the Third party in the last

- The following extraordinary slrgi-
cal operation is related as having been
recently performed by Mr.. j. A. Bloxam,
senior surgeon at Charing Cross Hospital,
London. A young man had presented
himself at the institution whose face was
minus nose, and the object of his visit
was to inquire whether modern surgery
could not supply the deficiency. The
surgeon in question endeavored to max Q
a nose from the amputated finger of an
other patient, but the attempt failed.
The applicant then suggested that one OF
his own fingers should be applied for the
purpose, and in order that the mem ber
should be sacrificed, if the operation
proved successful, he bad to remain for
four weeks with his finger attached to his
nose, in the hope that it would eventually
take root there. This it did, and the fin
ger was subsequently detached from the
hand and modelled as nearly as possible
to the form Of the central feature OF the
face.

H0W'S TRADE I?

OUR trade is good, thank you. In
fact, we never sold more goods in our
lives. A common question, but an
uncommon answer, you say. So be
it. and there's q reason for it, too.
Would you you know the cause?
Then, Ills figures. The figures we
make. They are attractive figures.
The figures that competition cannot
make. To tell the truth, these same
figures are rapidly pushing competi-
ton to the wall. They can't fight a
figure that they don't how to make.
Hence you often see idle clerks around
other doors while the Ten Cents Store
is crowded.
Customers ever go off unwaited on ?
Well, yes. There are times whenawe
can't wait on all. At such times we
have to do the best we can, and ask
our customers to kindly have patience
till we can get to them.
DO they wait on You? Yes, I
should say they do. 1t is too costly
to go out. An old customer says it
is poor policy to pay five cents extra,
and save only one cents worth of
time. Five cents on a twenty cent
article means twenty-five per cent.
A big profit of itself. See!
How about late-comers? Do they
have as good chance as early buyers ?
Well, no. Not always. 1t frequent
ly happens that the slow get left.
"Procrastination" often gets the better
of the best Of US. Especially is this
true about holiday goods. However,
We always do the very best we can to
the very last.
Why don't you get a larger house
and have more help, and just push
everything out of the way as you go ?
In that case we should be at such
expense that we would have to in
crease oar prices to cover it. In
other words, charge the difference to
our customers. This we don't wish to
de-.
f., We caution you, beware Of houses
| with too much expense attached.
Would be glad to talk longer, but
must wait on this lady.
Yours always truly,
