Senator HamptOn's Unprejudiced
nn,ni.,n of Disneusary Whiskey,

Judge MacKey was seated in the Comptroller
Generals office q few days ago: In company
with several other gentleman. In some way
the conversation turned upon the evils OF the
custom of treating. peculiarly of fAmerican
social lie which Is pract1ced nowhere else
In the world except, perhaps, IN Australia

the Judge, in his oracular way. "and take
one drink day-at fixed hour, am strict
observer OF the law, and l never ot1er drink
"Thafs all very well in South Carolina.
abo1t in Georgia or North Carolina?'
"When am in Rome, sir" replied the
Judge with a twinkle in his eye, II do as the
ton OF the statute law to treat man. and
am very careful not to do so."
"But understand said another member OF
the company, THAT when you go TO see Cen
eral Hampton you always take him some
"I lake him a quart of whiskey occasional
Iy," said Mackey, "but that is q different mat
ter, sir. The General is sick man, ana is 10
need OF a gentle stimulant. Ana that re-
minds me-" continued the Judge, with a re-
miniscent smile. "of a little pleasantly:
General Hampton has always complained OF
the quality OF the pspensary, ,d iqu,or' ,,h me- une

opeped the bottle myself carefully concealing
the DIspensary label. Pouring out drink,
I said. "General here is some whiskey that l
obtained from New York. 1t cost 81 a gallon,
sir, and think you will find IT good
"The General tasted the liquor 'Ah he
said this is really very fine. 1t is strange
that we cannot get good whiskey at our
DIspensaries. l don't understand It, Then |
turned the label toward the General added
the Judge, "and he had nothing more 70 say.
The fact Is, gentlemen, the Dispensary puts
up as good and as pure liquor as can be found
anywhere In the Union. 1t comes direct from
the dlstilers and Is bottled here without any
deleterious substance being mingled with II.
II is simple prejudice that condemns It,"

fact that our girls are brought up under a

whereas, In reality, We make the greater
mistake Of making diamonds out OF spades

The agent OF the Mills was on that year at
the meeting OF the stockholders and was ask

THE GOVERNORS DUTY.
He Should See, That the Whiskey Law
Is Enforced.
Manning Timps


II Charleston can not do something silly II
will do nothing at all. Ever since the election
of Governor Ellerbe the politicians Of that
city have been prostrating themselves at the
feet of His Excellency imploring him to take
away from them that dreaded monster, the
Metropolitan police. In their many prayers
they promised TO enforce the Dispensary law
with a rigidity never before heard Of and,
while making these promises they did not
nor that the Metropolitan police had been
charmed by the "tigers" and were not doing
their duty. A numbers Of ministers Joined
OF the police force, and for doing so, they have
been severely arraigned by the lovers of
"Home Rule" and "blind tigers" and politi-
cal pulls nevertheless the clergy did what
they were convinced was duty they owed to
the community In which they live and they,
TO q man, reiterate all they form-rly said In
contradiction OF the claims made.by the self
appointed representatives OF the good people
OF Charleston, Now. while this matter Is un-
dergoing an investigation to ascertain wheth
er or not there exists necessity for the con-
tinuance of the force, and while the politlci.
ans are contendipg that the present force Is
element is claiming IL the force is removed,
the law would be iaughted At, a grand jury
drawn by men who are known to be bitterly
opposed to the law, throw out every case
which is present ted TO them, and one OF the
Jurors is reported as saying that "itis not the
violators OF law, but the law itself which is
on trial." The recent conduct of the Charles
ton grand jury ought to convince the Cover
nor that II the Dispensary law Is TO have any
en- forcement at all II must come through the
present machinery, and If he takes of the
Metropolitan police he has no power to take
away the Dlspensary law; then, taking of
the only means Of getting the law enforced
would virtually be assuming responsibility
to give Charleston free license to sell liquor
and violate State law which large majority
OF the people throughout the State want to
see enforced everywhere. There are "blind
tigers" in Charleston, and crimes OF every
kind are committed there, but nevertheless,
we believe Charleston Is we'll policed and the
given Chief Martin by represen-
tatives OF the law.aDIdlng element is the
very best evidence of the efficiency OF the
force and that 1t IL preferred 10 the old order.
1t may appear somewhat strange for out
siders 10 take q hand In Charleston affairs,
but as State law is at stake, we feel At liber-
ty TO enter our protest against that which we
believe would have damaging effect over
the entire State-hence our opposition to the
Governors removing the Metropolitan police
until there Is more assurance OF the enforce
ment OF the law, than has been given by
those who are anxious for action on the Gov.
ernor's part, and the grand juries drawn by
partisan com missioners.
