The General Assembly has filed
the vacancies on the State Board OF
Control, and from the character OF
the men composing the board, we are
satisfied there will be strict busl-
ness management. The Dispensary
management in the past has been the
subject of much adverse criticism
and whether just or unjust, suspicion
of wrong-doing by some indivi-
duals formerly connected with the
Dispensary has been created
in the minds of the people;
but, with all the suspicion and lnsln-
uations of rottenness, there is one
man connected with the institution
who has conducted himself in such
q manner as to hold himself above
suspicion. We speak of Col. J. T.
CASTOR, the superintendent and act
ING commissioner. Col. Castor has
had active charge since the resigna-
ton of Commissioner Mixson. and he
has proven his thorough fitness for
the place. We hope the Board OF Con-
troll will recognize Colonel Gaston's
qualifications by re. electing him.

WE AGREE.

It is not often We find ourselves
agreeing with the Columbia State in
its editorial utterances with matters
concerning the affairs OF this State,
but in recent issue we think it
struck the right chord, and in its
timely suggestion it should have in
cluded ish, terrapin, concealed weap
ons and dogs. However, it is good
enough as il is, and We reproduce it:
In the 160 members of the General As
se,nblv there must be one with ingenuity
enough to devise scheme for some pei
manent blanket railroad law, and similar
fence law which will relieve each succeed
ing Legislature Of the necessity Of spending
SIS, 1000 worth o: its time and $1,000 worth
of printing on bills pertaining to those two
branches. If the genius appears We pledge
the State to start q fund for an ante-mortem
monument, under the shadow Of which he
can repose, listening to the grateful songs
of praise from all Carohnians.

then, having fixed the penalties for DISC
bedience, giving each citizen the right to
Issue the order and the magistrates the
jurisdiction to enforce them. would, we
think, relieve future legislators Of vast
deal of work. For example. give two or
more citizens the rightto establish stations;
let college faculties fix the rate OF fare for
students !; let legislators and their families
obtain free transportation on demand per-
nit town wardens to locate and have built

The "Jim Crow" or separate coach

The 'Jim Grow" or separate coach
question is eyoking considerable
discussion throughout the State.
There appears to be a good deal Of
sentiment against the measure, while
a majority, no doubt, favor the
scheme. We believe the railroads
should provide suitable cars for both
races and if they pay the same fare
they should be entitled to accommo-
dations alike, but if there is nothing
more done We think the railroads
should have smoking car on every
passenger train, so that a person not
able to pay frst-class fare will not be
subjected to offensive smoke in the
second-class car. AS general thing
colored people ride in second-class
cars, and many OF them DO not like
smoke, but because the roads do not
provide separate coach for smokers
they are made to submit, and they dc
submit rather than force themselves
in the frst-class car where they know
their presence is obnoxious.

As & memIer of the Board, demand
that YOU explain yourself fully and salts

TINES. saving: The way it has been run IN
this county is disgrace to civilized COM
munity." do not know if your reflection
is on Supervisor Board, or both. But do
know that YOU have publicly made very
crave assertion, and I demand, as one of
the members, that the whole thing be
brought to light. Let the people know IN
full the disgrace that has blotted "ciVll-
lied Community" and not leave them 10
make just eny surmises they may IRON an
assertion made in such strong language.
The Supervisor and his Board were con-
graduated by many of our best citizens on
the good. and economical management OF
the county affairs. In speaking of the law
YOU say ..it is an improvement, ana II
would he difficult to pass better one.

The countrv weekly neYspapt

The country weekly newspapers
have every reason to feel unkindly
toward our lawmakers for taking
away from them the little support
they receive from the public, and as
the Legislature has fixed the price of
what little public work the papers
get, We think the papers should show
8 little independence and decline TO
do the publishing of public notices
at the rates lsid down by Statute.
We do not believe a law to fix the
the price Of printing is any more
right than would law be to fix the
price OF merchandise on o merchants
shelf. 3 mechanics work. OF q lawyers
services. Nevertheless it is done and
the newspapers quietly submit. The
law has the right to regulate the form
of notices and the number of times
said notices shall be published, but
the printer has the sole right to fix
the charge, and we hope the State
Press Association will take this matter
in hand. There is no use trying to
cater to public men for patronage,
and the sooner the newspapers show
their independence, the better will
they be treated. The law requires
certain notices to be published and
the lawmakers fix the rate, but there
is no law to compel publisher to do
the work, and if the papers through
out the State will stand together, the
next session Of the Legislature will
give US relief from the economists
who will not reduce their own pay
nor will they legislate to reduce taxes.
The people care nothing about the
little amount paid to the newspapers
for services rendered, but they are
growing alarmed at the waste and
extravaganza committed by our law
makers, and which has caused our
executive to fear that the levy will
have to be increased in order to meet
the expenses of the government.

The recent decision of the United

The recent decision of the United
StatesSupremeCourti in the dispensary
matter does not give the opponents
of the law as much comfort as they
had hoped, because the constabies
continue making seizures as if no de-
cision was ever rendered. As we un-
derstand the case, Judge Simonton
enjoined certain constables from
seizing liquor and he went further
and signed general injunction
against all the constables, sherifs,
etc. The Supreme Court sustained
Judge Simonton in his Injunction
against the officers mentioned by
name in his decree, but required
him to modify the decree as to the
rest. 4 constable not having been in
dividually enjoined can so right
ahead and seize without incurring
the displeasure of the court and with
out being made subject to contempt
proceedings.

The recent controversies among
prominent officials is, in our ludg-
ment, the precursor to big cloud
burst. There is black cloud gather
ing about the State house and before
the next primary it will burst with q
fury never before heard of in the
political history of the State. The
sharp tactics of shrewd manipulators
will not be able to keep from the
public their guilty practices, and
when the light does penetrate the
darkness which we are certain exists,
righteous Indignation will assert
itself among the people, and some
men now growing fat at the public
crib, will be glad to seek shelter in
the retirement of their private homes.
Is there anything rotten in Den
mark? Time will tell. There is eth
er something radically wrong at the
Capitol or honest men are being
most basely slandered.

1T SHOULD PASS.

One of the best measures intro
duced in the Legislature is bill by
Hon. Banks Caughman of Saluda. It
provides for 25 per cent. OF the Dis
pensary receipts to be set apart for
the purpose of buying school books
for poor children. This bill has
merit and it should pass, but it won't,
because the legislators are too busy
legisiating for railroads and other
matters in which the people will not
receive any direct benefit.
The Caughman measure would, If
Nne law, provide the neces-
our population Is SsSs chaahee to send their
children to school. But an editorial
in the Headlight so well expresses our
views on this subject that we here
with reproduce it:
"Mr. Caughman has introduced bill
that 25 per cent. of the receipts of the Dis
pensary be set apart for the purpose Of
buyinc school books fol the poorer classes
of our population, who must keep their
children at home and allow them TO grow
up in ignorance, because they cannot afford
to buy school books.
This bill is exactly On the right line, and
we do hope that it will become law.
Under our new Constitution, hereafter. in
order to exercise the night OF suffrage, o
voter must read or write.
..Now, We do contend that the State has
no right to thus restrict the suffrage of free
born white citizens unless it also places it
in the power of every citizen to acquire
that qualification.
s.In Spartanb burg county we know Of hun
dreds of poor people who do not send their
children to school, for the simple reason
that they are not able to buy books and
what applies to this county also applies to
every otker county in South Carolina.
And to add to this imposition. the
school books of our State, for term Of
years, have been awarded to the American
school book trust, the most Ubiquitous OF
all trusts that eItort upon and infict our
country. And in order to assist this trust
in their sales, numerous and unnecessary
books have been adopted. so that 1t is
heavy burthen upon even weli-to-do par
ents to keep their children supplied.
Take readers, for instance. Alexander q.
Stephens, the great statesman of Georgia,
once remarked to the senior editor of this
paper that when man thoroughly knew
all that he could be taught in Webster's old
blue-back spelling book. and the rudimenss
of arithmetic, he had an English education
sufficient to carry him through the world
with credit. This old book only cost
dime and yet under the rulings of our
State Board of Education. we have four
different sets of readers, and other branches
in proportion. And those books. too, cost
about five times as much as they are really
worth compared with other publications Of
similar print, paper and binding.
The public school system Of South Caro-
lima needs thorough overhauling. and the
Legislature could not devote an entire
month to better service than this important
work"

There are certain lot of newspa-
pers in the State, about to go crazy
because Governor Ellerbe has ap-
pointed Ex-Governor Evans to go to
Washington to collect the direct tax
matter which is due by the govern
ment to the people OF the coast
counties. Several gentlemen have
undertaken this work and it seems
they have not been able to accomp-
lish much, and because Ex-Governor
Evans has undertaken the work, bis
political enemies are abusing and
Ainging all kinds of mean and con-
temptible slurs at him. They may
continue this sort of thing as much
as they like, but the people will not
be lulled to sleep by professions OF
peace while the busbwhscking con-
tinues. These same papers are loud
in their professions of peace and
unity and at the same time they lose
no opportunity to strike at certain
public men who have many friends
among the people. Governor Elleroe
is no novice in the States affairs and
he is possibly the best qualified man
to Judge the fitness Of a man for the
position he appointed his predecessor
to; had be appointed some old time
politician who is waiting for some
thing to turn up, a great deal Of
praise, no doubt, would have been
given him by the now complaining
papers, but no, he appointed a man
who he knew was well qualified fol

Ifdence. Oar new Executive cannot

A visitor to the present Legislature
cannot help but be struck with the
weakness OF that body. There are there
but very few men of ability, and these
are either Indifferent as to what is
going on or they have not won the
confidence of their colleagues sufh-
ciently to have much influence. Last
Friday an election for two members
of the State Board OF Control took
place one went through without
opposition, the other was elected by
a close shave, but the defeated candi-
date really had majority vote when
the ballot was first taken. Then
word was circulated among the mem
bers to change their votes that it
was the Governors wish to elect Mr..
Cooper, and surprising as it may be,
several members, when they heard OF
the Governors wish, changed their
votes to give Mr.. Cooper sufficient
number to elect him to the position.
The idea OF representatives Of the
people OF South Carolina so weak and
vscillating as to be turned and led
about like children
Suppose Governor Ellerbe did
want Cooper on the Board of Control
and the members thought differently,
is that any reason they should change
their votes after once having an
nounced them The men running
about upon the aoor Of the house
protesting to speak for the Governor,
We are satisfied, spoke without
authority, and did so at the last mo-
ment when it was too late to correct
the Misrepresentation.
Mr.. NJ. r. Cooper, who was elected
is good man and as vel! qualified
for the position as the gentleman
he defeated, but what we do not com
prehend is, Why there was such deer
interest taken in that race. Why
was it, that certain politicians were
busy upon the Aoor Of the House tc
elect their man. Is It possible tha
these politicians, some of whom were
formerly connected with the Dispen
sary, and allowed to resign wheI
under cloud of suspicion, are to b.
benefited by this election? We d.
not see how, for We know Ar. Coop
er's reputation to be that of q mai
with mind OF his own, and We d.
not believe there will be any Mixsol
in his part of the work.

How Our Success Was Won

First of all it was won by hard labor and close at
tention to business; in the second place it was won
by selling tirst-class goods at the lowest living
prices; and in the third place it was won by the
hearty support of our many friends from all parts OF
the county.
Last September two years ago we unfurlcd our
banner enscribed upon it QUICK SALES AND
SMALL PROFITS FOR THE CASH ONLY.
Though small as it was, the people saw It, and they
saw what was inscribed upon it and they saw the
standard bearer and they saw that he meant bust
ness. They aocked to our standard from all quar-
ters and the result was an unprecedented success.
Last December one year ago the fire came and
swept us from the face of the earth and many
thought that our Great Cash Store was no more but
it was only an incentive to rise in greater spendor
than ever and the past year was
