speak not here OF the moral Or religious
view of the case. In regard to the refusal
OF the Vance County Commissi oners to
grant license on January 4, I will say the
law does not permit the sale OF liquor to
be licensed, unless six free holders OF the
precinct, not township, will swear, not as
u matter OF opinion, not to the best OF
their information and belief, but TO suear
that the applicant is a proper person
and his place a proper place to sell
liquor. 1t further requires the consent OF
the town OF Henderson, granted at reg
uiu meeting OF the Town Commissioners
to be given. before the county can give
the license to sell in the town. The ap-
plicants did not have the consent OF the
town granted at a regular meeting, nor
did any one of them have the affidavits
of six free holders. | shall never stretch
the law in favor of license. The Commits
soners to be very fair, informed these
applicants OF the fact that their appica
tiOnS were not sworn to by six free hold
ers of the precinct. and gave them +
hours or more to put their applications
in shape. When they returned at $3.50
p NJ, they had not procured the atfida-
Wits of six free holders each and the
Board was compelled to refuse the license
and it would have violated the law if it
had not done so. Thei applicants have
seen proper among other things they
done, to sue the Commissioners to com
pei them to grant the license. The case
can be finally heard in October, '97,
while the license would expire in June
They will most likely withdraw the suits
and make new applications on Feb'y LIST
and il in due form the Commissioners
will be bound to grant them; but all
this talk about taking snap Judgment on
the bar-keepers is pitiful. They knew
what the law required and they PIE.
sumed that the Commissioners would
disregard the law, although they knew [
was one of its advisers; and they have
oil known for 8 years that | never
stretched, twisted or distorted the law
in favor Of liquor. The statute makes it
a misdemeanOr for any man to sell
liquor in Henderson without the consent
of the torn Commissioners granted at a
regular meeting. All the liquor sold
here since July LIST, 1896, has been sold
without this consent. The Commission
ers of the town, on Jan. 16, in order to
have IL regular meeting before the next
meeting of the County Commissioners,
changed the time of their regular meet
dg to the 4th Monday in the month.
They thus propose to arrange Tor the
opening OF the saloons on Feb'y LIST,
which think they ought not to do even
if lawful. TT. HICKS.

The Cosmopolitan Magazine.

Always OF the highest literary excel
lence, always artistic in letter press
and the character of its illustrations.
always rich in the quality Of it. subject
matter and Of the widest interest, the
January issue of the Cosmopolitan
challenges comparison with any of the
$500 magazines. Yet the January is
sue is not an unusual one. 1t is simply
OF average quality: in fact, not up to
what is promised IN February number.
in which the second part of Conan
Doylc's new story will appear. AS
the publishers say. such a magazine at
$500 year would command sale of
hundred thousand copies; at sI.00 a
year the Cosmopolitan is rapidly trav-
cling toward the hatl-million mark.
To those unfamiliar with the character
and merits OF this magazine some idea
may be obtained when we state that
during 1896 the Cosmopolitan reached
the largest clientele of intelligent,
thoughtful readers possessed by any
periodical in the world. The smallest
issue OF the year was 500, 900 copies.
while the largest was nearly half a
million. This phenomenal circulation
has grown FROM 10000 copies in eight
years. This alone is sufficient to show
that the Cosmopolitan even at the low
price OF Sl.oO a year, or 10 cents a
copy, Is periodical Of real worth and
merit. Call on your news dealer or

NEW MOVE IN THE LIQUOR NAT

The latest proposition for dealing
with the liquor question in Henderson
is the dispensary plan. Petitions for
signatures asking the passage of such a
law are being circulated. Just what
the nature of the bill providing for this
sort of thing is we are not informed.
Indeed, we do not know that it has
yet been drawn, and until its pecu-
liar characteristics and distinguishing
features are understood people Will not
be in position to lntelIigentIy sign
said petitions.
This paper IS no champion OF the
liquor cause, at the same time We do
not believe in distortlng or evading
the law TO ''gve it black eye" For
this reason we have thought the whis-
key men should have been granted
license, or the refusal thereof based
upon other and more ienable grounds
than it was, as we understand the
matter If the law is obnoxious let's
get rid % the law. And this can be
done if the people SO will it. But the
liquor traffic can not be effectually
downed in the way it has been gone
about here.
Nor would the public dispensary be
any improvement upon the private sa-
loon we think. And then as it appears
upon the surface this smacks too much
OF a '.soft snap for somebody. How
ever, until we knYw more about what
the features OF the bill are, how the
dlSpensary is to be conducted, etc, we
can only form onclusions that may
be erroneous But upon general prin-
clples the GOLD LEAF is against the
dlspensary, and is of the honest opn-
ION that II would not be we'll tor peO-
pie TO ask for 1t unless they know of
certainty what they are going TO get.
Let those who are interesting them
selves in this matter show their hands
and If we are convinced that the dis
pensary is the best thing for Hender-
son we are ready to advocate it. But
until We are 50 Convinced, with what
we have read and heard Of the S south
Carolina law and the trouble and
bloodshed engendered by it, We are
uurally predlsposed against anything
that savOrs in the least Of the dispen-
slry plan Of dealing with the liquor
question.
