THE GREAT DAWN Is BREAKING.

The only men in Charleston who
do not wish to see this county II ac-
cord with the rest Of the State are
those who hope to thrive on State
pap, and who would have no oppor-
tunity of enjoying this succulent ar
ticle were they to depend upon their
own merits. Post.
And this from the Post. Well. an
honest confession is good for the soul.
When we used to charge that it was
the politicians who, for selfish pur-
poses, refused to be in accord with
the people Of the State, the Post
rather resented the assertion. We
are glad that it's eyes have at last
been opened to the real existing con-
ditions, and that it sees the wrong
which is being inflicted upon Char
lesion county by her own political
pirates. To say that it is those
who hope to thrive on State pap"
destroys the essence Of the charge,
because those who are thriving on
'.State pap" in that city are without
any power whatsoever to mould po-
litical seton in Charleston county,
and they are thereby powerless to
put Charleston sin accord with the
rest of the State,'' or out of accord
with the rest OF the State"
Nevertheless Charleston has been
for several years out Of harmony with
the crest Of the State" and it has
proven detrimental to her business
and political interests. This sad
state of afairs is the result OF the
1nanipulations Of 'the only men in
Charleston who do not wish to see
this county in accord with the rest
OF the State are those who thrive"
on keeping up constant irritation
because it is to their personal inter
est to keep city and State apart, and
if they loosened their grip and al
lowed the city and State to come to-
RSGASI ~ US4A 4S4 q ~S&4AAASS@ ~ASSN
est it would not be long before those
"who would have no opportunity OF
enjoying this succulent article were
they to depend upon their own meE-
its'' would be jobless.
Keep up the fight SO nobly begun,
esteemed contemporary, and the
work will arouse your readers to
wake up and scrape of the barnacles
which have fastened themselves to
the political ship and thereby OBJ
structed her from keeping abreast IN
the progressive race. Let Charles
ton get in accord with the rest OF
the State" and it will not be long be-
fore trade will pour into her markets
from all sections of this common
wealth.

It will be 8 source Of qualification
to learn that the Charleston Post has
at last consented to permit Charles
ton to become part of the State
once more, and the delegation from
the unreconstructed city will con-
slider all legislation on its merits and
not from a partisan standpoint. The
Charleston delegation, according to
the Post, will not oppose admins
tration measures but will aid the
administration in all Of it's measures
which they find meritorious, all OF
which is very nice, and a hopeful
sign that reason and common sense
will once more have its way with
that brainy delegation.

Deafness Cannot BE Cared

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube gets in6amed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
maj condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an indamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness Caused by catarrh) that

whether the returns from the newly

President McKinley's second an
nual message which was sent to Con-
gress Monday is very long and dry
document, dealing with the war be-
tween the United States and Spain,
and makes no recommendation, e1-
eept that careful deliberation be giy-
en- to the important subject. Aside
from the war the paper deals consid-
erably with foreign affairs; our inter
ests abroad and our relations with
Europe are carefully reviewed. The
President touches on many points OF
national interest, and he makes but
few recommendations. It is a well
prepared instrument, conservative in
tone and will receive more than or
binary attention on account of the
new conditions in American history
arising out of our present foreign at
SiEuOe.

The anti-dispensary advocates are
advising the Prohibitionists to join
hands with the high license men to
destroy the dispensary. Will they do
it? If they do, what will become OF
their boasted religious principles"
The Prohibitionists stood before the
people upon principle which ad-
mits of no compromise with the ad-
yocates Of license. Suppose when
the Legislature meets Charleston's
high license men, and Richland's
high license men, caucus and pledge
to vote prohibition if the Prohibi-
tionists will not vote for high license;
what a spectacle such a combination
would present before the General AS
sembly. In our opinion the Prohibi-
tionists will stand pat with no expec-
tation of winning at this session, but
encouraged with the magnificent
vote given to their leader in the pri-
mary, they will take their cause De-
fore the people again.
The Columbia State is opposed to
the dispensary, so is the Charleston
Post and so is the News and Courier;
all Of them favor license. These pa
pers are in the two largest cities in
the State, where the enforcement OF
the law has never been seriously at
tempted, except recently in Colum-
bia Mayor Lipscomb has done a lit
tie something in that direction. The
opposition of these city papers to the
dispensary is not in favor OF prohlol-
ton, because they oppose prohibition
as well, but it is to bring back the
old bar-room system made under the
guise OF local option with high Ii
cense.
If the Legislature were to grant To-
cal option with high license it would
simply mean that Charleston, Co
lumbia and few other whiskey con-
trolled towns would vote themselves
into the license system and the old
bar-rooms that now are hidden be-
hind closed doors would open up as
in the days before the advent of the
dispensary. But these advocates OF
local option and high license will say
'sthose who are granted license Will
see that the liquor law is not vio-
lated and the city authorities will
enforce the law We admit that the
CITY authorities will see to it that no
LIQUOR is sold without a license, but
we know that the city authorities
will not attempt to enforce the dis
'pensary restrictions. The result will
be that once a. license is obtained
from the city authorities to private
Individual, the whole moral force OF
the dispensary law is destroyed,
The anti-dispensary advocates, in
their desire to destroy the dispensary,
will not agree to submit the question
to the people, that they might say
'sDispensary" or prohibition" Oh,
no, unless Charleston and Richland
can get the special privilege of "high
license" added. With ''high license"
added for Charleston and Richland
the strong anti-dispensaryites would
join with anything to have the ques-
ton submitted. In other words,
those two cities want the privilege
Of selling whiskey and will resort to
any means to accomplish the pur-
pose.

News From Pine Grove.
Editor The TIMES:

Editor TIE TINES:
Things are taking on new life in
the Pine Grove section, especially in
church and school matters. Messrs.
Smith and DuBose are giving some
of their best work to the church
building with paint and brush, max
ing a beautiful structure still more
beautiful; and after few more days
of sunshine have passed over we
shall indeed have something to feast
our eyes upon. Neither has the
school building been forgotten, for
we now have an attractive open
porch in front, surmounted by a
handsome bell tower.
1t was with pleasure and with
thankful hearts that we all assem-
bled to hold Thanksgiving service
on last Thursday, for truly if any
community has reason to be thank
full for showers Of blessings that COM
munity is Pine Grove. The main
feature Of the exercises was an ad-
dress by Prof. C. B. Smith of Wof-
ford College. He made some very
forcible hits, and his words were
such as to arouse greater efforts along
all lines of intellectual and moral i'm
provement. A careful observer can
already see some of the good effects
of his address, and it is hoped that
we can have him with US again soon
to give US some more Of his soul-stir-
ring words.
Rev. w. E. Virgins, our pastor
here on New Zion circuit, goes to the
annual conference at Greenwood
next week. Of course it is not GER
tainly known that he will be our
pastor another year, but we believe
and hope that he will, for he has
made many friends during his years
stay among US, and has found his
way into the hearts of many Of his
people. We long to see his pleasant
face and have him look in upon US
occasionally to cheer US up when
things are not exactly right.
Cold weather is upon US and many
hearts are made glad, for cold wealth
er generally brings fresh meat, and
you know what that means. HON.
my is all right, but, of course, is
made better by hog" as almost any
of US can testify. And then take
with this,
"Sweet pertaters in de pan,
Sweetes' libin' in de lam"
There is some talk of organizing
literary society among the young
people of the community. We need
just such an organization here to i'm
prove ourselves in expressing our
ideas in fit language and to become
better acquainted with parliament
ary usage. Of course our library,
which is now well under way, will aid
US very much in such an undertak-
ing. P.
