LIQUOR DEALERS HOLD BACK.
e
They Have Placed Orders, But Have
Not Received Goods Yet.

A special from Charleston to the At
lanta Constitution says: The whole
sale grocerymen and the ex-hquor deal
ers in Charleston seems to be holding
back somewhat in ordering liquors for
sale in the original packages, as allow
ed under Judge Simonton's decision.
They have placed orders but the stuff
is not to be shipped until some definite
steps are taken by the State admins
tration. Before the dspensary law
went into effect every other store in the
city sold whiskey and beer, and large
majority Of these men are now count
ing on selling again. One wholesale
dealer has secured warehouse and has
it to appear that he is to act as the
agent of some outside compeny that
will ship the goods to the city to be
warehoused and sold to individuals.
Since the decision was rendered the
State coDstables, who have been idle
for weeks, have started out on whole
sale raids once more and have succeeded
in capturing great deal of contraband
liquor. The reason seems to be that
the blind tigers are putting TOO much
faith in the Injunction and are selling
in the original drink more freely than
usual.
Charleston is expecting a big revival
in business relations when the dispen-
sary is driven out Of the field. An
enormous amount of whiskey is sold
and while the money leaves the aver
age man poorer. it appears.to put more
money in circulation. =

HELPING TILLMAN.
Simonton's Decision Has Aroused the
Cold Water Element.

A special from Washington says:
'sThe temperance elements all over the
country are coming to the support of
Senator Tillman in his desire to have
light thrown on the question as to what
legislation, if any, is necessary to give
full effect of the law which accords to
each State the right to regulate the
liquor traffic within its bordArs.
People who have been disposed to
criticise the dispensary system and its
author are with him IN the fight which
comes as theresult Of Judge Simonton's s
recent decision. Senator Hoar is one
of the strong supporters of the Tillman
position and most of the members of
the Senate believe with him that Judge
Simonton's decision is in the teeth of
the Wilson law which was made to fit
the Iowa case some years ago and under
the operations of which the Maine law
is made effective
gives, in as plain language as q law can
to each State, the same power to regu-
late the sale Of liquors that are brought
into that State, as the State has over
liquors produced in the State, and the
law adds that they shall not be exempt
therefrom by reason of being intro
duced therein in original packages or
otherwise.
"Judge Simonton bases his decision,
as it is understood here, on the con-
tention that the South Carolina law is
not an exercise Of the police power Of
the State
"That it Is the intention of Congress
to give absolute control of the liquor
traffic TO the individual States there can
be no doubt end if further legislation is
necessary to perfect existing law on
that point it will enacted.

Some Of the s'StaFters" Considered in
the Forthcoming Race.
1t is hardly probable that Mr.. No
Laurin will be allowed to enjoy an IN
contested right to the vacant seat in the
United States Senate. Six or eight
names have been mentioned already,
and there are others. It may be that
several of the expected aspirants are
feeling their way at present. and some
OF them will doubtless fail to put in an
appearance when the start Is made. But
the s:gns of the times point very strongly
to the entrance ofJohn Gary Evans into
the arena, and he will almost certainly
seek "vindication" at the hands Of the
people, whether or not he has a pocket
full of rocks to throw at other candi-
dates. Then, too, there are faint glim-
merings that John L. NJ. Irby wants to
shy his castor into the ring, with the
expectation Of retrieving the ground
that he thinks was unnecessarily de-
serted last year. Hon. NJ L. Donald
son has said that he will not be guided
again by friends who underrated his
strength before, and he has assured US
that he favors primary in which to
test the matter. It would be we'll also
to keep weather eye on W. Jasper
Talbert, of Edgefeld, who would be
formidable competitor in case he took
notion to file his pie ]ge. There are cou-
pie of young men, If not more, who
would like for him to cause vacancy
in the Second Congressional District.
and his elevation to the Senate would
please them amazingly. Don't bet any
thoroughbred animals that Mr.. Nc
Laurin will get there without con-
test. Mountaineer.

MOVEMENT FOR GOOD ROADS
South Carolinians Putting Roads in
Better Condition.

South Carolinians Putting Roads in
Better Condition.
The progressive press of South Caro-
lsna has been agitating the question Of
good roads for long time, but, in the
middle and low country, with very in
different results. In several counties
in the Piedmont belt the people have
realized the importance of good high
ways, and in several counties, notably
in Pickens, Anderson and Greenyille,
considerable improvements have been
made, considerable expense being in
Cured for road machines, mules, etc,
and civil engineers being employed in
the scientific part Of the work. How
ever Richmond, of which Columbia is
the county seat, has made the first move
in the State to macadamiZe highway.
The beginning is on very small scale,
as q section of road just beyond the city
limits, and only 40 yards in length,
will be operated on. It is one OF the
worst places in the county. and bears a
great amount of traffic.
Granite screenings will be used and
the macadam will be nine inches thick.
The progress Of the experiment will be
watched with great interest, because if
it is successful, as to cost estimates ard
endurance, it is likely bonds will be
issued to macadamfze the roads Of the
township and all other county seats will
take similar action. In the hilly coun-
try there is quantity of the necessary
rock.
With the chsingangs, which are work
ed in this county, the estimate cost is
about 81, 100 mile.

Mans Bitterest Enemy.

"Sin Is always mans bitterest en-
emy" writes Dwight L. Moody. in
"Mr. Moody's Bible Glass;" in the
Ladies' Home Journal. 1T separates
him from his Maker. 1t separates him
from his fellow-be!ngs. No position is
to ohigh for sin to debase; no place so
hallowed but it seeks 20 corrupt; no
home so sacred but it seeks to destroy.
Sin. like holiness, is mighty leyeler.'
says distinguish shed divine. And what,
may be the cause Of the thousands OF
suicides which have occurred during
the past year if it is not loathing OF
self? 1t is sin then which makes a
man loathe himself. 1t is sin which
makes mans life become burden from
which he so often seeks to free himself
by his own hand"

Senator McLaurin's full name is
John Lowndes McLaurin. A great
many people, and especially Maryland
ers, have asked him where the Lown-
des in his name came from. The story
is interesting. When his mother went
to school at the Patapsco Institute in
Maryland, her dearest chum was Miss
Bessie Lowndes, and so when her boy
was born, she called him Lowndes in
honor of her schoolmate. Time passed
and Miss Lowndes married q pro nising
banker and politician in Cumberland
named Lloyd Lowndes. Last March
Mrs. McLaurin occupied seat in the

And my thought ships decks are freightsd
With honor and gold and fame.
And all that is brightest and clearest

The castle in clouds we founded,
The home that our hearts have planned
Where never q shade of sadness
Shall darken our sunset sky,
And life shall be JOY and gladness
In the some day by and by.
But IL Of our dear dream stories
No tale of them all come true,
And the sky Of our grandest glories
The tempest shall hide from view,
Then, facing it, dear, together,
With never a tear or sigh,
Wen wait for the clearing weather
And the some day by and by.

honorable" In Spite of Webster,
In lone of the "ready letter writer's
are directions given as to the prefix
which it is proper to put before the
name of an alderman, and it is for this
reason perhaps that a controversy has
recently arisen. One of the disputants
says:
When writing to a member of the
board of aldermen or a commissioner in
II OF the city departments, it is high
f~alutin, l think, tt address him with
the prefix Hon. In proof of the cor
rectness Of this view of the ease this
correspondent invokes the testimony of
Webster, the dictionary compiler, who
said of the use of 1.-THE h~onorable:'
"An American usage. 1t is n title of
courtesy merely, bestowed upon those
who hold or have held higher public Of

bers of congress or of the senate and

orary titles in use i'll the United States
could have nc especial bearing upon the
case Of the New York aldermen, whose
fame as Legislators has now spread to
confines where the name of Webster is
quite unknown.
The title alderman is derived from
the Saxon word californian" other

Of honor in early days in England, and
the alderman or alderman was a local
functionary responding somewhat to
the present justice of the peace. In Eng

but afterward the office came to be an
elective one, and from the English word
has come the American title alderman
so valiantly upheld by the aldermen of
New York, who insist upon n full share
OF all political honors, pcrqulSites, priv
ileges, rights, advantages and immuni-
ties, and he would be a courageous man
indeed who would omit from the des-
ignation of an alderman especially an
alderman recently elected) the title
'the honorable. The legal duties OF
aldermen are so few, their exercise is
so carefully guarded by acts of the leg
islature, that it is necessary, so to speak,
for the aldermen 10 find. if the express

time resolutions are passed by the board

considerably enhanced, and in such cases
the petitioner, realizing the full force
and Importance of the alderman's Office,
is glad of the opportunity to address
him as "the honorable, " and realizes
