It is with pleasure that we note the

It is with pleasure that we note the
endorsement of the Piedmont ''Head-
light given to what we had to say
with reference to Bookkeeper Scruggs
OF the State Dispensary board. Col
Scruggs has proven his fitness for the
position be holds, and with all Of the
elimination and recrimination in tue
past, we have never heard the slight
est hint or intimation against him.
We have heard, however, that he has
made himself unpopular with some
of the Dispensary attaches and some
of the Dispensers, and also some
State House officials, and that they
are fighting him with might and main.
He is also being fought savagely by
a former commissioner, who resigned
his position when the air was filled
with all kinds of hints at corruption.
Of course, the election OF a book
keeper is solely matter for the board
to exercise their own judgment, but
as that officer has an important trust
reposed in him, in which the people
are deeply concerned, we think great
care should be exercised, lest faith
ful officer, true and tried, is not dis
placed to crafty grudges of those
whom it became his duty to expose
to the board.

A JUST REBUKE.

Congressman j. ". Stokes, ad-
dressed letter to Capt. D. J. Brad
ham, with the full knowledge of the
relationship existing between Con-
gresham John L. McLaurin and the
captain. In that letter, by insinua-
ton, he sought to injure our distin-
guished young representative in the
Estimation of his friend. Captain
Bradham is not the man to aid any
one in such conduct by keeping 81
lent, so he fttingly replied to Mr..
Stokes and gave both communica-
tons to the press and will be found
on our first page. The reply is
couched in choice language, at the
same time it is very "gingery," and We
hope it will have the effect Of making
Mr.. Stokes crawl out from behind
his hiding place and come out in
broad open daylight whenever he
wants to attack anybody. These
bushwhacking tactics will be resented
whenever and wherever discovered,
and the man who resorts to such will
not be allowed to 60 very iar before
he will be exposed and his career
checked.
The people, as much as they ad-
mire McLaurin, have no objection to
any of his colleagues differing with

debut to the public last Monday and
the people of Columbia have every
promise of an afternoon paper to de-

to maintain his self respect, is the
editor and manager Of the Record D
His first issue shows the work of u

see from the city of Columbia an
afternoon newspaper which will lie
an important news and political fac,

If HE DIDN'T, HE MOST.

The celebrated mare "Sally" held
by Major B. B. Evans, and claimed
by Governor ". II. Ellerbe, has had
her day in court and the jurors upon
their oaths ETC., said that the rightful
ownership in 'Sally" is vested il the
Governor, or in case s;Sally" is not
forthcoming then the gallant Major
must go down into his clothes and
give up the sum of three hundred
dollars.
= As we said last week, the conten-
tion between these two gentlemen
was entirely a private matter with
which the public had nothing to do;
nevertheless, the testimony in the
suit was published in the daily news
papers, and OF course the verdict is a
court record which changes the mat
ter FROM private to public affair.
We read the testimony with consid-
erable care and We failed to find
therein any material conflict in the
statements of the parties in interest.
The Governor did not seem to remen-
Der very distinctly what took place be-
tween himself and Major Evans at
the time Of the alleged betting, but
he was quite sure that he never made
a bet in his life, unless it was joke.
The Governor was exceedingly care
full on the stand and when asked if
he would swear that he did not make
a bet with Major Evans, he replied,
81 would not, I may have said some
thing about a bet, but if did, it was
in joke" And he further said that
he would not deny that he said: ':I'll
bet you horse against $780," but
he denied entering into formal bet.
Major Evans was positive a bet was
made andhands were shaken to make it
binding. He stated the time,place and
circumstances with a degree Of posi-
tiveness which left no room for him
to be mistaken. He also proved the
length of time the horse was in his
possession and that during all this
time he claimed to be the owner.
The jury, however, were so i'm
pressed with the Governors lifelong
opposition to betting that they rem
dered verdict in his favor. A thor
ough sitting Of the evidence does not
warrant the conclusion reached by
the jury unless they took the highly
sentimental ground that to render
the verdict for Major Evans would
be in effect convicting the Governor
of the State of gambling, and yet, we
can see where they could have come
to the conclusion that Major Evans
was in earnest with his bet, and if
the Governor did not bet, he most.
We have not the slightest doubt that
if a similar suit was between two pri-
vate individuals before the same
jury, with the same testimony, the
verdict would be different.

POLITICIANS WANT A HOBBY.

There is now among political think
ers considerable thought being gwen
to the Dispensary problem. At pres
ent, and for some time past, there has
been no friction in the execution OF
the law and the people generally are
contented, but politicians must have
hobby to ride and they will take
the Dispensary as the hobby. The
institution has done vast amount OF
good and if the politicians can be
driven away from it more good can
be accomplished. One set want the
liquor system placed in the hands OF
private individuals with the present
restrictions thrown around it, and for
that privilege the individual
obtaining the permit must pay high
license. Another set wants each OF
the local authorities to make their
OWL purchases direct and do away
with the State institution. Then,
there is another set wanting the old
system Of bars, and still another de-
manding prohibition. In our humble
Judgment there is too much "moD-
keying" with the Dispensary now. and
if the politicians do not let it alone,
the thing will become stencil in the
nostrils of the people. If the admin
istration of affairs is satisfactory, why
this desire for a change? It certainly
is not wanted by the people, for they
are perfectly satisfied with its work
ing. True, they may be desirous to
see bigger financial results, but with
what they set out of it as it is, they
do not complain. If politicians want
a tale of woe to tell the people, let
them give good reasons why we have
no better system of free schools, and
why it is that our roads and bridges
are no better; let them also give sat
isfactory reasons for the increased
taxation and why it was that the last
General Assembly spent so much
valuable time at the expense of the
people without giving the people
value received for the additional tax.
The Dispensary bone will not do to
gnaw upon, unless there is corruption
in the institution. If it can be proven
that any of the board are in league
with the whiskey dealers, it should be
exposed and the guilty punished. II
any members Of the board are known
to sleep with whiskey drummers
when they visit Columbia, lift the
curtain and let the people see the
sleeping beauty they might wake
him up, to question him as to how
much he is to get. or better still,
search his pockets for evidence to
convict. If any corruption, whether
it be in members of the Board, Com
missioner, Superintendent, shipping,
clerk, or drayman is known, out with
it, and the people will fire the cor
rupt.
Should there be any corruption
shown, that ought not mean the de-
struction of the institution; South
Carolina has plenty of honest men
who would conduct the Dispensary
as they would their own business and
if the present management does not
accomplish the desired results, take
out the weak timbers and put in
strong ones, until it will stand with
out propping.

him upon any public question, but
they despise any sneaking attempts
to injure him in their estimation.
We are truly glad that Captain Brad
ham administered a rebuke to Mr.:
Stokes by giving his letter to the pub
lie, that they may form an idea to
what extent jealous politicians 60,
when they want to injure colleague:
McLaurin has had a good deal OF
this sort of thing to contend with and
were it not for his exemplary conduct
and his jealous and brilliant career,
the politicians would have long ago
destroyed him.
