DISPENSARY DOOMED.
So Says the Reputed Father Of the Grea
Moral Institution.

So Says the Reputed Father Of the Great
Moral Institution.
Piedmont Headlight.
The Columbia State has undertaken
very important work in interviewing
the newly elected legislature as to how
they stand on the dispensary, high
license and prohibition. Not enough
counties have as yet been heard from
to settle the issues; but from the an
swers received it looks very much as
if the present diSpensary law is doom
ed. The prohibition sentiment has
developed strength, while local option
seems to lead the dispensary advo-
Gates.
A few days since Headlight report
er conversed with well posted gentle
man from Columbia, who is a staunch
friend to the dispensary. We asked
him his opinion as to what the next
session of the legislature would do
with the dispensary. He answered:
"If it stands at all, the present law
will be so amended and revolutionized
that you wouldn't recognize it if you
met it in the road. But would not
be surprised if the Prohibitionists and
the local option advocates united and
passed a strict prohibition law Tor
South Carolina. Whenever the issue
between prohibition and the dispensary
was made, prohibition won by a crush
ing majority. In Anderson county the
people voted direct on the dispensary,
local option and prohibition and prohi.
bition won overwhelmingly. If the
friends of the dispensary save the law,
they will have to rally their forces and
work hard. But even then they Will
have to submit to revolutionizing
changes in the present law. In the
first place, the people of every county
will be permitted to vote on the issue
and saw whether or not they want u
dispensary established within their
borders, and I believe that three.
fourths of the counties in our state will
declare for prohibition. Then the con-
stables must 20, for there is violent
opposition to them. They had as well
begin TO hunt another job. Then l
believe that the profit feature OF the
dispensary law will be omitted, and
the strictest kind of regulations thrown
around the sale of liquors.
II am thoroughly convinced" con-
,inued the gentleman, "that the dis
pensary is now managed honestly and
in businesslike manner. But while
back those connected with the state
dispensary in Columbia got to fusslng
among themselves, and making serious
charges against one another, and the
people were led to believe that the
whole thing was reeking with corrup-
ton, and an unjust prejudice was built
up against the business. These men
in Columbia have simply gone to work
and killed the goose that laid them a
golden egg many months. l am a
staunch friend to the dispensary, MS
you know, and now that the courts
have declared the law constitutional,
it ought to be given fair trial and no
material changes made. But my opin-
ion is that it will take hard work by
the friends of the dispensary if they
can save a remnant of the law to build
upon again, after prohibition has
proven impracticable, which it surely
will do"

Now Some More Points.

We have no practical knowledge OF
grain drills; but we have as much as any
other dealer in this county and we are
satisfied that there is no better drill on the
market than the Champion. 1t is strong,
simple and easily managed, and is one
of the most popular drills with the farm
ers of Lincolnton and Catawba counties,
N. c., and they know drills up that way.
They like it because 1t does what they
want done in the way that they want il
done, and it costs less money than any oi
the standard drills. If you want drill
see our sample and get descriptive circu-
lars and prices. GRIST COUSINS.

Madrid CORE

LONDON, June 1.-THE Madrid CORE
spondent of the Times says:
Tne opinion here is that a land attack
upon Santiago de Cuba viii prove a much
harder operation than is commonly sup
posei. The country to be traversed pre-
sents great natural difficulties. To arrive
at Santiago an expedition must cross the
range of mountains called Sierra Cobrc. in
which there arc many positions easily de-
Tended by comparatively small forces. es-
pecially against an enemy which is sure to
be decimated and demoralized by yellow
fever and dysentery, fer this district at all
times is the most unhealthful in the island
THE rainy season has now begun Doubt
less the Americans will have the assistance
OF the insurgents, who are thoroughly ac-
qualnted with the topography of the dis
trfct and arc well seasoned against dis
ease but in the past history of the insur-
rection the rebels have never had much
success in attao king fortified positions. At
the same time it must be remembered that
a considerable number of Spanish troops
are available for defense
"A list is published in several Madrid
newspapers showing that in the province of
Santiago, including Holgufn and Manza-
milo, there are no less than thirty bat
talions of infantry, seven squadrons of cav
airy, five companies of sappers, four noun
tain batteries and four companies of earrt-
son artillery.
The prospect Of a conjoint lombard
ment by the American squadron does not
excite serious apprehension in the minds
of the Spanish military authorities For
the moment, however, the Cuban question
Is rather in the background, owing to the
hot discussion everywhere of Philippine
affairs. The papers are publishing curious
documents relating to the transactions for
the surrender of Aguinaldo before the war;
l refrain from commenting upon them until
l can satisfy myself that they are au-
thentic.''
