THE STATE WINS.

At last the long-looked-for decis-
ion IN the dispensary case from the
United States Supreme Court has
been rendered in favor Of the State,
and it is to be hoped that all vexa-
tious litigation growing out OF oppo-
sition to the law will end, and that
everybody will join in and aid the
government in enforcing the law.
Under the decision the original pack
age people will have to strike tent
and leave the State. This is great
victory FOR the State and If the au-
thorities will go to work and run the
s'tigers" out there IS no earthly
power that can prevent the dispen-
sary from getting as near prohibition
as the most ardent advocate of pro-
hibition can desire. Since there is
no longer question as to the right
of the State regulating her liquor
laws, We want to see the Governor
open up vigorous campaign against
all illicit dealers, whether they be
original package men or blind
tigers" Set the ball in motion; no
quarter should be shown those who
have deprived the taxpayers of this
State out of thousands of dollars.
Every last one OF them should be
seized, their stuff confscated and the
proprietors punished; in this way the
State might get back some OF Its
losses. One thing is certain, there is
absolutely no excuse for the existence
now of "blind tiger" in any town or
county in the State. It is true under
the decision liquor can be ordered
for private use, but with the proper
vigilance that matter can be looked
after. Watch other States now and
see if they do not follow this State IN
settling the liquor question.

Private Bryan.

After denouncing in severe terms the
self.seeking and jealons milltiamen of his
State for their disgraceful wrangling, Hon.
William J. Bryan has offered his services
as o private for the impending war. He
hesitated about taking this step from the
fact that the carping and euvious elements
which fight him on all occasions would ac-
cuse him OF demagoglsm.
But Bryan has volunteered, and the
great American people note it with salts
faction and pride. Having won on exalted
place in the hearts Of the people rs a civic
leader, he proposes to stay with them in
the strife of arms. In view of his faithful
ness to every duty of citizenship p so far the
people accept his actiou in good faith,
knowing that it IS only in consonance with
career of distinguished fidelity to the
public welfare.
/: is probable that Bryan will 90 into the
war as private and remain one. 1t can
not be expected that he will take high off,
clal rank. having 90 military training. His
example is therefore inspiring and will
doubtless bring many people to sense OF
duty-thst of defending the common coun-
try under all conditions and under any
circumstances
Men Of the Bryan mould have ever
maintained american honor. Not generals,
but privateS, win battles
All honor to Private William J. Bryan.

We are glad that factional politics
has at last been eliminated from the

has resolved itself into what is the

To undertake to make probibi-
ton ticket our of dispensary timber
is rather anomalous if not ludicrous.
Was it simply playing at politics or
a grab at Office? How did they lap
pen to put Dan Tompkins and Dr..
Zimmerman on the prohibition tick
ct, both of whom are well known
friends of the dispensary? It's funny
to see Dan get on the platform and
then kick the thing from under him.
Dams not in the declining business.
He never was. He wants to catch
EN- a-comin, and a-gwiue. But it
will be a ridiculous spectacle to see
old lifelong prohibitionists, who hate
the dispensary and have hercely de-
nounced it and who have organized
the movement to make war on it,
marching up to the polls to vote for
one OF its best friends and staunchest
supporters. 1t is a parallel case with
voting for Republican on Demo
cratic ticket. Prohibition timber is
not so scarce in this State that anti
prohihitionists have to be put on the
ticket.-Anderson Advocate.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1898-05-11
Prohibition and Politics.

The prohibition ticket creates but
little enthusiasm, even among the
strongest temperance advocates, and
we do not believe that even its most
sanguiue friends have any strong
hope for success. The triumphs of
candidates nominated by that Colum-
bia convention does not mean the
success of prohibition, but simply a
transfer of political power in our
State, together with the emoluments
of Office.
Even were the prohibition ticket
elected, they could do nothing toward
advancing their cause, or changing
the dispersary law, without the con-
sent of the Legislature. The Cover
nor, Attorney-GeDeral and other
State officers would find their hands
bound should they try to enforce
prohibition in South Carolina without
they are backed by the law-making
power. Therefore, every reasoning
voter will see ut a glance that the
prohibition contest, as mapped out
by the recent convention, cannot ad-
vance their cause one step, but SIM
ply means that the leading Offices in
our State will change hands. Cover
nor Ellerbe has earnestly striven to
enforce our every law, and ifthe next
Legislature abolishes the dispensary,
and substitutes therefor prohibition,
he will not only approve the bill, but
use every power at bis command to
have the new law enforced. Tie
most ardent prohibitlonist could 10
DO more.
So one can see at glance that
when the prohibition convention neg
lected to demand a separate vote on
the leading question of prohibition
VS.. dispensary, and, ignoring that di-
rect issue, saw 6t to nominate full
State ticket, spiked in with stauDch
dispensary advocates and including
habitual liquor drinkers, they bad
lost their. golden opportunity. 1t
matters not how earnest voter may
be in favor of restricting the sale Of
intoxicants, or even declaring for
strict prohibition he will simply see
that in our State contest the only is
sue is a choice between candidates,
and not the vindication of any great
principle.
Now, had our prohlbitionists de-
manded that vote be given the peo-
pie on whether they desired the dis
pensary law or try the experiment of
prohibition, then there are thousands
ofvoters who would support the lat
ter. But when an attempt is made
to get them to vote for an issue
through men, it will prove dismal
failure. 1t is only choice between
ofice-seekers, and not the vindication
of any great principle, and the peo-
pie will reserve the privilege of vot-
ing for the candidates of their own
choice, and not take those put forth
by small convention, and nominated
in a committee room behind closed
doors
Suppose that the prohibitiouists
elect their every candidate, from Mr..
Childs, who has Columbia water on
the brain, down to cologne Spirits"
Dan Tompkins, how can they posi-
bly, hope to enforce prohibition in
South Carolina unless they elect a
House and Senate in full accord with
their views?-Piedmont Headlight.

IfPresident Mckinley was to order
into service an American general
with brigade of Spanish soldiers to
invade Cuba would the American
people have much confidence in the
successful result of the expedition?
We carrot see much hope for prohi-
bitiop, with prohibition leader and
dispensary lieutensnts. The prohi-
bition party of this State is in, as
embarrassing a position since their
convention put out e mon 5rel ticket
as was the Good Templars few
years ago when they sent one of their
leading lecturers to an institute to be
cured of the liquor habit.

The States victory in the Dispen-
sary case is largely due to the deter
mination of Senator Tillman, the IN
defatigable efforts of Attorney Gen
eral Barber and Governor Ellerbes S
confidence in the law being the best
liquor regulation possible to enforce.
Attorney General Barber has au-
nounced himself candidate for Con-
oress in the 5th district and we know
of no more fitting acknowledgment
the people of his district could make
in recognition of his services to South
Carolina, than by electing him to
Congress with an overwhelming ma
jorlty.

Governor Ellerbes military ap-
pointments have given satisfaction to
every body except few who expect
ed to be awarded a plum, and those
who have made up their minds to
damn him anyhow. His enemies
admit the appointments are first class
and calculated to inspire confidence
among the men who are to follow
them, but in order to throw spspi-
cion upon the governors motives
they charge that he made his selec-
tions to further his political interests.

THEY WANT THE STUFF.

All political parties must have
money to conduct a campaign ana
the prohibition party is not an ex-
ception to the rule. Mr.. A. Z. Jones
chairman of the prohibition execu-
tive committee has issued a circular
appealing for money, and we have no
doubt the money collected will be
spent for electioneering purposes,
but how the prohibition leaders pro-
pose spending that campaign money
will develop later. Imagine com
mittee of clergymen at the polls with
crisp bills between their fingers iD-
ducing voters to cast votes for a prin-
ciple, or if the clergymen feel that
such course would be undignifed,
tbs place be filed by an Elder, Stew
ard, or Deacon; the campaign mon
ey must be spent, and for the pur-
chase of votes money is i mighty
good thing.
We have never yet seen a prohibi-
ZIONIST who will admit that he pre-
fered the bar system to the dispense
rv, but on the contrary they all say
if prohibition cannot be obtained
they want the Dispensary. When
Governor Iillman first undertook to
enforce the Dispensary law it was
entirely experimental, many sincere
prohibitionists were anxious that the
law should have a fair showing; IN
the effort to enforce the law the de-
plorable affair at Darlington occur
red. The liquor men united with the
opponents of the State administra-
ton and a terrible condition was
brought about-it was an insurrection,
and Governor Tillman was forced to
put it down; militia companys re-
fused to respond to his call, many
through the influence of those who
were opposed to Governor Tillman's
side ofthe factional fence,it was most
unfortunate condition of things and
one which will always be regretted;
nevertheless the administration could
not surrender the government to a
lawless mob. Among those who used
every effort 10 thwart Governor
Tillman in his efforts to enforce the
laws of the State was A.C. Jones,tben
travelling salesman for a Northern
drygoods concern, now the chairman OF
the prohibition State Executive Com
mittee, and the same Jones who is
to-day, calling upon the prohibi-
tion people to pay the freight for
the campaign he proposes to wage
this summer. Jones happened to be
