The Liquor Question.

TO tho Editor of The Nows and Cou-
rier: Tho liquor question will undoubt-
edly take up good deal of time at the
next session of tho General Assembly,
and I send you this article for legislative
consideration.
Do away with tho State Board Of Con-
troll and the profit feature. Let o board
of three manage the disponsary affairs
of every county, and let each county be
entirely separate and independent of
evory other county. This board of mana
gers are to bo eleotod by the people, are
to serve for four years, and thon not be
engiblo again for this position until four
years have passed. One Of tho board Ia
to 1.-Two in the county seat, and tho other
two are to bo from outside of tho county
scat The ons from tho county seat Is to
DO voted for only by those who live in
tho county scat, and tho other two
managers are to be elected by people
who live outside of the county scat.
Theso three arc to elooG tho dispensers
ordor tho liquor, etc. Only enough Is to
be charged for the liquor to defray the
necessary expenses of the disponsary and
pay tho salaries of the dispensers and
board of managers. BY making tho dis
ponsary only nolf-sustsining and abolish-
ing the profit feature tho "blind tigers'
will be frozen out. Every yoar tho dis
pensers must submit thoir books to tho
grand jurics for inspection.
If this plan is not q good one, will you
please point out it's errorsp

Silver Fight for 1900.

Mr.. w. II. Harvey (Coin) was recently
mado general manager of tho silver fight
for 1000. From his headquarters in Chi
cago, he last week madca call upon the
people Of the United States who believe in
free coinage to show their faith by contri-
buting at tho ratio Of 81 month until
October 1, 1000. Colonel William j. Bryan,
from the headquarters of his regiment at
Panama Park, was ono Of tho first to
answer tho call. On Tuesday he wrote
as follows: ~ enclose a pledge for n, onthly
contributions to the cause Of bimotallism
until October, 1900, together with tho
installmcnt for this month. 1 most cor
daily endorse the plan adopted by tho
committee and am confident that it will
result in tho collection of largo fund
for tho circulation of bimetallic litera-
turo. Since your fight is in the interest
of the plain pcoplo'-to use Lincoln's
phrase--or tho common people to bor-
row a Bible term, wo must appeal to
them for the means to carry on tho con-
tost. Tho tlnancicrs can contribute
large sums to support The gold standard
because tho monopoly of money gives
them great pccuniary profit. Surely.
you can appeal with confidence to the
millions who suffer from q rising dollar
and falling prices. Having brought
freedom to Cuba, tho American people
can renow tho struggle for tho financial
independence of tho United States"

Indian AntiQuitfeB.

The Smithsonian institution owns
the Hallett Phillips collection of In
dian implements and antiquities
from the Potomac valley. 1t is re-
putod The largest single collection Of
Its class In the world, and Its value
Is greatly enhanced by the careful
arrangement and record Of individ-

sists Of over 10000 pieces, principal
iy spear and arrow heads, stone
knives, hamr q and scrapers, frag-
ments Of pottery and soapstono uten-
sils.
Mr.. Phillips had made lifelong
study Of prehistoric man In the At
lantic tidewater region. In his opin-
ion, which Is accepted as authority
by the Smithsonian scientists, Wash
ington was not the first capital on
the banks Of the Potomac. The site,
owirG to the groat advantage in con-
neotion with stone quarries and tl.o
river fisheries, was the headquarters
of the great Algonquin confoderacy,
tho most powerful Of the Indian ma
tions on the Atlantic coast. 1t was
with these Indians that Captain John
Smith first came In contact on his
initial voyage up tho Potomac, and
his memoirs contain on account Of q

Hon. L. T.. Werner for Superintendent
Of the Penitentiary. #s

Thoro are several important positions
in tho State government which arc to be
filled by election by the next General
Assembly. Ono position Is that of SUI
perintendent of tho State Penitentiary.
This is an important Office and it should
bo under the control of man Of praotl-
oa! business ability and judgment. There
arc few men VINO possess the peculiar
qualifications required for the successful
discharge of the duties of this office.
Since tho State has undertaken tho con-
duct of q farm, tho Superintendent
should be practical, economical farmor.
He ought to know how to produce q
bushol Of grain for less money than it
will bring on the market, The convict
labor should turn handsome revenue
into tho State treasury.
Oconee county has q man in tho person
of the Hon. e. e. Werner, who is emi-
nently iittod ior the position. We take
this occasion of presenting his name to
tho General Assembly for election.
Mr.. Vornor possesses fine business
traits and is successful farmer of the
very finest standing. His superior can
not be found In tho State to tako charge
OF tho Ponitontiary. Mr.. Werner enjoys
the confidence of his people at home.
No man in Oconee, who had opposition,
over received as large vote as he did in
the last primary election.
Oconoe county places Mr.. Werner be-
fore tho Genoral Assembly for election,
with tho assurance that if elected, he
will conduct tho business of tho institu-
ton with ability and integrity.

The secret of health Is to keep tho
blood pure and full of si1ength. When
o man or woman loses flesh and vitality,
there is something wrong in tho blood.
The etest Of 1t is likely to be IL tbo atom
the trouble stops. Consumption Is a
germ disease, but If the blood is good, it
keops tho lungs strong and healthy, the
germs cannot find o place to lodge and
are cast off. 1t there's weak spot tho
germ will find 1t. Even after that, strong
and pure blood will strengthen tho lungs
so that they can gradually rid themselves
of the germs. It Is by creating strength
and purity that DIR. Pieroe's Golden
Medical Discovery cures conan mntinn
and other diseasea. II makes ono gain
flesh-not tlabby, oily fat, but sound,
firm, useful, healthy flesh. Hundreds of
patients have testified to It's wonderfully
beneficial offects in many diseases and
especially in inoipicnt consumption.

Tho race war ut Virden, Illinois, be-
tween tho striking miners and the ne
groes imported from Alabama to take
their places is greatly to be regretted, of
COURSE. but thero are somo things about
1t that have q peculiar interest for us of
tho South. 1t shows that race prejudice
has no geographical limitations in this
country, but that tho white man Is a
white man and tho negro is q negro, the
country over, and that when the lines of
the two cross thore Is collision at
the point of contact. And it is Just rs
truo in the North as in tho South, no
matter what people may say about hu-
manity and the brotherhood of man.
But this o::tbroak has IL peculiar added
interest to us because 1t occurred In an
intensely Republican district Of. an in
tensoly Republican State, governed by an
intensely Republican Governor; and near
tho home and burial plaoe of abraham
Lincoln. And this Republican, Govarnor
has summoned tho milftia;o tho Staee to
keep the negroes from working In. the
mines and has driven them out Of tho
State. W. arc glad OF two ttihinHs, ami
tho first Is that it completely tnmasks
tension of love for tho negro, and the
second Is that it did not happon down
South, so that we will bo spared tho
ordeal of having sermons and lectures
fired at us In broadsides for our barba-
rism. We can afford to stand off and
smilo little bit. Southern mon don't
pretend to love the negro, but treat him
like they did, while Northern mon pre-
tend to love him and treat him like thoy
didn't. That's tho difference. All tho
Same, the fool negro will go on voting
tho Republican ticket and being sold out
by the Republican conventions under tho
delusion that ho is playing tho part of
freeman. What sham Ropublicanism
is, nyhow.-Anderson Advocate.

mittee, however, had no authority to
pay tho money awarded, and no money
out Of which to pay tho amount agreed
