s:THE MOUNTAIN LABORED AND
BROUGHT FORTH A MOUSE"

The Charleston grand jury swooped
down upon the local Dispensaries and
with much glee did they report the
irregularities they alleged to have
found. But for days before the pre-
sentiment, the city papers expected
great and sensational developments,
and they kept the public on the qui
vive for something to fall with fear
full thud. The report came, and al
though great big headlines attempted
to mislead, the reader found a
mountain out of mole-hill, and in
stead of corruption being exposed it
turns out that some of the Dispensers
have not strictly carried out the re-
ouirements of the law with re.
gard to signing the applications,
and without mentioning the name
this grand jury report to the court
that one dispenser said Damn
the law, it is sales we want"
The gentlemen composing the
grand jury are no doubt performing
an unpleasant(9 9duty,when it becomes
necessary to report their local officers
for not performing their duties with
chew to the line" strictness, and if
the Charleston dispensers have not
performed their duties according to
law, the grand jury would have stul-
tilted itself had it not brought the
matter to the courts attention. But
who now, is to hold the grand jury
responsible for its fragrant ignoring
of the law when it came to passing
upon violators of the Dispensary law;
there is Board that can inquire into
the remark of the dispenser who said
"Damn the law, it is sales We want,
and if they find ne is running his
Dispensary on such a principle he
should be dismissed summarily. The
Jury gave no name, but left the court
and the authorities 10 the dark as to
his identity. The jury, however, If
the published regeefsttss IS are true, have
in their body a member who is
equally as reckless in his remarks as
this Dispenser; we reterto the juror
who said: SIT is not the violators,
but the Dispensary which is on trisl."
This remark was given as an excuse
for throwing out all Of the Dis
oensary cases. In the remarkable
document given to the court there
was no mention of what the juror
said, ror why so many cases were
thrown out, but ike sweet morsel
under their partisan tongues, they
rang out the silly remark of a Dis
nenser without letting the court
know who he is, and who are the
material witnesses to prove the same.
We can not recall of such partisan
document as ever being presented to
g court before; the whole paper on
its face exhibits an enmity to the
Dispensary and to those who have
andeavored to enforce it in the face
of almost insurmountable obstacles.
But then, nothing more could be
expected when upon that jury were
men suspected of running "blicd
tigers. The "News and Courier" in
publishing the occupations Of the
Jurors did not strengthen the jury in
estimation of the people, because
some of the "grocers" are known and
also what is usually contained IN a
Charleston grocer's establishment.
How many grocery stores IN that
city are without a bar room attach
