Dispensers Indicted.

GREENvIL1E, March ls.-Tt5 charge of
Judge Earle to the grand jury at the
opening of this term of Court, when he
referred TO the ~dispensary and certain in
formation which had come to him con-
corning the loose management aud appa.
rent violation oflsw by dispensers, caused
q ripple of wonder that a Judge should
dare TO allude to the State bar business,
except in terms of praise.
To-day q supplemental charge to the
same body by Judge Earle broke the re-
cord. The grand jury flied into Court
and made Its preBentment, q among
other things stated that the dispensers of
this county were violating the law, and
detailed some specific. acts of violation,
and. that ended the story o fthe jury.
Judge Earle said, (referring to 80 much
ofyour presentment as relates to the dis
pensary,) If the county dispensers have
sold alcoholic liquors as you now report
the statute. They are authorized to dis
penBe liquors only o. the statute directs,
and il they make rules in any other man
ner they are just Is guilty a the man who
runs q blind tiger, as it is called.
You have presented many persons at
this term for violations Of this statute,
and personB have been convicted and
sentenced. You have done your duty as
TO them, but II the county dispensers
have also violated the statute they should
likewise be presented, and II they are
guilty, they should be punished.
The low will be respected by the peo-
pie only when It is enforced without dis
criminatioD, and if the individual citizen
Is to be punished for violating this Stat
ute, and it is right that he should be, the
officer who disregards its plain provisions
should not be excused; indeed, the law
should be more strictly enforced against
the officer than the private citizen, for the
former is not only subjecCfto the primary
duty incumbent upon all persons requir-
ing obedience to Law, but he has also
resting upon him the obligation incident
to his Office. II the county dispensers
have violated the law in matters referred
to by you, then it is your duty to present
them.
I have no right to dictate to you. I
have ~endeavored TO do my duty full in
declaring to you tho law. Whether you
will do your duty and what you will do
in the premises must be left to you.
You are the grand inquest Of the u
tY, and no one has power to control
you in your deliberations. You may now
retire.
The grand jury returned to their room
and in q short time appeared in Court
with indictments against John S Hill and
r. r. G.. HoltZclaw, county dispensers,
charged with violation the law.-Spec,Gt

Our Mother.
BY ANNIE HALL.

When tho sad hour was almost come
That our mother must depart,
She gathered all q ound her bed
Tboae nearest to her heart.
All. great was our astonishment,
When rising from our seat,
She said "Dear children meet me there,
Meet me at Jesu o feet"
Be ide the bed again we stood.
She thus expressed her mind:
"IfI will wait at the golden gate,
VIII you all not decline?"
Our dear Lord Jesus be with rs all,
How precious Is thy baud;
Oh it Is strong enough for Us all,
Just take me es I am.
She said to her neighbors, meet me there,
To our uncle. mover roam,
To her friend. you are 70 consoling,
know you'll reach that home.
Come, my children Pm going home,
I Gao no longer stay;
I do not fear-In willing TO die,
Just wipe your tears away.
Ny dear boys, be quiet and righteous,
Don't 90 {" bad company
Fer II you'll be upright and genial
You will meet me on that day..
Let your mothers kisses that I have given
BY you remem bered be;
And my last words are: "Jesus Is calling"
Is tenderly calling to-day.
With q solemn ear we listened
T her music sweet and lone;
Which seemed to echo-the last Of earth.
For the summoning sugel is calling me home
We all weep that one so loving
Should have q life go brief;
We laid her In the cold, moist grave.
Before the forest cast the leaf.
But now he sits and gazes on us
With those deep and tender eyes.
Like the 8 Hrs so still and saint-like,
Looking downward form the skies.
Sometimes We feel depressed and lonely,
But We must lay all sorrpw aside;
To think that God. our hleesed Redeerier,

May Put Out a Straight Ticket.

COLUMBIA, March 21-Stats politics is
badly enough mixed now as 1t is, with
Senator Tillman's boiling scheme and
the uncertainty as to how many he can
take off with him, even ifhe really means
to go, and with the Republicans active
and claiming big accessions to their
ranks.
But matters are still further compllca-
ted by q seemingly well founded report
that the Prohibitiorists are to put out a
straight ticket for the next election.
These people claim that they have been
badly bamboozled in the d~ispensary law,
which was hsld out to them as being "a
step towards prohibition" They think
tits high time that step" should be TAX
en, but instead of anything Of the kind
being done they see the liquor business
simply transferred from individuals to
the State. and all the legal restrictions
thrown around the law being openly and
fagraptly violated. Under these ciroum-
stances it is natural that they should be-
gin to, kick, and they have gone about
systematically organizing for Q fight
against the ~dispensary, which il likely to
result in 9 straight prohibition ticket be-
ing placed in the field. Some time since
an organization known as the Gospel
Temperance Union was formed in CO.
lumbia.
From here 1t has spread to other towns
and cities, and It is said that there are six
hundred preachers In the State enlisted
in the cause and that they E.e organizing
unions throughout the State. These
unions are opposed to whiskes selling or
wbiskey drinking in any shape or form,
and It is said that after they are thorough
|Iy organized in the State. q convention
would be called, which will declare for
straight prohibition. The union made
an effort in the Legislature to hsve the
sale by dispensaries restricted to 'sacra-
mental, medicinal and scientific purpo-
ses,n and, although several reform menu
bars made strong speeches in favor of
proposed law, there were only fifteen or
twenty who had the courage to vote for
it on the aye and nay vote The Prohibit
tionists with this experience ray they
have no hopes of getting whstthey. want
through the dispensary law, and hence
their determination to go 1t alone. Fur
Their developments along this line are sx-
pected I'M few dayb.-SpeciGt to Mems
and Courier.
