One Reason.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

10 Tie EultOr OF the DlSpatcll:
Please accept thanks for lengthy
report of dispensary debate published
in last issue. Since Mr.. Efrd has
asked, "why is it that when the
liquor question is agitated that we
see ministers ard liquor men locked
arms against the law" 1t may not he
amiss to call bis attention to one rea-
SOD, in the order of reasons which
stands as first among the many which
exists for such attitude by these men.
The reason briefly stated is this.
The dispensary in order to its cx-
istence first denies to the citizens Of
South Carolina, (and is wont to deny
TO citizens of other States and couu-
tries} in their local coporate capacity
the right to engage in or control the
manufacture or sale Of liquors in S.
c. And secondly, it bases its right
to exist upon the right which it
claims does not exist, with the peo-
pie. 1t is largely self condemned in
these two foundation pillars upon
which it rests. If ministers and
liquor men have seen that the dis
pensary is building up what it claims
to have destroyed and, choose to stand
shoulder to shoulder as true workers
in common cause they have right
to do so. Not only so but an inspired
apostle once said: For if I build
again the things which l destroyed,
I make myself transeressor." Mr..
Efrd certainly expects The dispensary
to build up large business if in ten
years by his amendments it would
''run the government But if, as
the apostles reasoning would prove
the dispensary is "a transgressor,
land Solomon said ''the way Of the
transgressor is hard, then within ten
years this transgressor may dlsap-
pear and South Carolina may be en-
Toying the fullest measure of American
liberty and her citizens in every call
ing. spurning the idea of running the
government in any way On the reve-
nues derived from whiskey. So mote
it be. .Toab Edwards.

Yesterday, q mob of unknown
parties shot and killed F. 3. Baker.
the negro postmaster of Lake City,
Williamsburg county. The people
of that town had twice unarailingly
protested against the appointment Of
this negro as postmaster and de-
manded his removal. Five of the
children and Bakers wife escaped
death, but all but two children were
wounded by gun shots and are
manned for life. Baker was shot
down just inside of the door as he
was attempting to come out of the
building. An infant baby was shot
cut of its mothers arms as she was
about passing out OF the door.
Bakers body and that Of the child
were cremated in the flames. The
building aud the entire post Office
equipment were consumed by fire,
and the citizens of Lake City are
without post effice. 1t is certainly
one of the most horrible crimes ever
committed in the State. Oae Of
Bakers girls is thought to be fatally
wounded.
No matter TO what extent the peo-
pie of that town may have been hu-
inflated by having anignorant negro
pest master to handle their mail
matter, it is no justification for tax
ing the Law into their own hands and
staining the fair name OF their county
with murder. Look at the matter as
We may it is, nothing but murder Of
the most cruel and cold biooded
nature and no stone should be left
unturned to bring the perpetrators
to justice.

Just as We had hoped that the
small pox scare had died out and the
excitement oecasioned by the rumor
of its prevalence in various portions
of the State had subsided, we are in
formed by a morning contemporary,
that in the little factory town Of
Pelham in the upper portion OF the
State, an epidemic of the loathsome
disease has been discovered. Up to
the latest news from that place, there
were one hundred we'll developed
cases. The origin Of the disease has
been, it is said, traced back to the
negro who spread the disease in
GreenYille.

'rhe saddest and most shockip.

rhe saddest and most shocking
catastrophe that has startled and
horrifed the civilized world in recent
years was the blowing up of the
United States warship, Maine, while
at anchor in the harbor at Havana,
Cuba, on the 18th inst.
The explosion which worked the
destruction of this magnificent war
ship is one of those impentrable
mysteries which, if ever cleared Up,
will have to be done by time. Many
are the theories expressed to account
for the unfortunate destruction OF
the ship. but they are all conjectures
having NO tenable foundation what
ever save in the biased symphaties OF
their authors.
It seems that the ship went to
Cuban waters under instructions
from the Navy Department, and
upon her arrival there she found an
anchorage in the bay q little below
the city but remained there only
q short while when the harbor mas
Ter compelled the ships officer to
weigh anchor and proceed to spot
marked by a buoy lower down the
bay and near the shore OF Cuba
From this circumstance it is theo-
rized that at this buoy a mine was
located which was connected TO q
battery on shore by a wire from
which the mine was exploded. OF
course this is only theory and one
in which there seems to be not one
plausible reason to explain it.
The Maine was one of the finest
vessels in The navs of this country
costing this government something
in the neighborhood of s5,O0o,O0o.
At the time of the explosion there
were something over 300 men on
board, of which number about 260
were killed, drowned and missing.
The vessel lies in land locked har-
bor which makes it easy for the
wreckers to operate and it is proba-
BILE that it will be raised aud rehabi-
tated.
The cause Of the explosion will be
thoroughly investigated by the gov
ernment officials and it will be 8
close and searching one. In the
meantime we take no stock in all
this hue and cry about Spanish
treachery, because by blowing up
the vessel and causing the death of
SO many people Spain had nothing
to gain except war, and had she de-
aired this she could have accom-.
plished her desire in more honor
able way by openingly declaring the
cessation of friendly relations, and
thus retained the respect and con-
fidence of all civilized nations.
