following is from his paper:
aDispensary advocates are saying
that those who opposed the dispen-
sary were blinded by political pre-
judice. For our part, We are not

Col. r B Watson, of Saluda, a
candidate for Governor, is quoted
by the Sunday News as saying:

by the Sunday News as saying:
As to prohibition that he WAS not
q Pr0hibitionist for politics but on
principle. He said that prohibltlon
could not be cotton as a result OF poi
itics, but must come asa result OF
education in the homes OF the peo-
ple of the State. He said that he
had perhaps a better record as a
Prohi.tionist than almost any one
he knew of. Since the dispensary
law there has not been a half pint OF
llauor ia his house. He has never
s t.sxen a drink ofliquor, had raised
- large family, and none of them
ever drank. He went on to relate
that much of the property around
!. Ridge Springs belongs to him, and
\ ftsr wears every deed had a clause In
it that thetitle is forfeited as soon as
lfanor Is sold on the premises. he
raid that he had had trouble with
one man, and made him leave the
community for trying to sell liquor.
I He said he was not in the race
Z t0 make any trades Or deals, anu
would not make any. He WAS go
ing to keep in the middle OF the
{ road, and If any Une gets In his way
he would be, run over"
1T is just little puzzling to un-
! derstand how man of fair intel
ligence can favor the dispensary
system of selling liquor, claim to
{ be . prohibitions, on principle
ana assert that prohibition could
net be gotten as result of poll
iic.sn It is even more difficult to
nhderstan1 how man can be so
largely benefited in hissewn tami
" By prohibition and be unwil'
ling 10 apply prohibition to the
State. How man can re such a
violent prohibitionist asto make a
man 4leaye the community for
selling liqaor' and still not wish
the State to lawfully prevent the
sale OF liquor.
The truth is, when man does
not mix his religion and his busi-
( ness, 1t is because he has no relig'
i6a to mix; and fear when Col.
Watson takes up his prohibition
principles to remove them from
his politics, he will be astonished

Russia is still the land of mystery, and

does about the interior of Africa The re-
port from Vienna that 500 students, at three
universities, have been arrested, of whom
200 have been expelled and so sent to ST.
IBERIA, is the first news the world has had
of a movement that must have been wide
spread and affected great number of peo-
pie. Either that, or else the whole alleged
conspiracy was Matched by the police off,
Gals for purposes of their own 1t is said
that such things are done in Russia, and
the fact that they are possible is one of
the strongest arguments against the Sc
crecy maintained with regard to the news In
that country With a free press, the gov
eminent would have invaluable aid in dis
covering such movements before they attain
great magnitude while, on the other hand
the people would be protected from bureau
cratic outrages.

"GYAsCUTUs" GLOVE CONTEST

From the New York Herald.
You know the old "gyascutus story? Two
fakirs, stranded in a country town, plaeara-
ed walls with notice that they would ex-
hit the only specimen ever captured of the
giant gyascutus"
When the hall was filled one of them
loudly clanked an OK chain behind the cur
tain while his partner was shrieking to the
audience to fly for their lives, as gyascutus
had broken loose; and in the confusion they
made off with the fifty dollars receipts at
the box office.
While we laughed at the joke we knew,
of course that even the greenest of coun-
trymen could not be gulled SO easily as
lat Oh, no! And yet they say thousands
of shrewd New Workers and residents OF
other wideawake cities gave up to the
amount of $50, 900 for admission to the Lenox
Athletic club on Tuesday night and were
baked of the expected show and dismissed
in the good old "gyascutus' fashion!
