Excellent philosophy from the
Gatfncy Ledger: "Since the cleo
tion the newspapers have been
kept busy publishing cards of
thanks from the successful, as
well rs from many of the unsuc-
cessful candidates. We hope the
season for all these gushing thanks
it over, and we could wish it not
to return. These cards are all
the product Of pcrnicious scnti-
ment, that is, that the people
elect IA man to Office for his own
personal benefit, whereas the true
princi pie l., or ought to be, that
they elect him for their own bene-
fit. We can hardly see how n
man with a proper appreciation
of the duties and responsibilities
of office can believe or feel that
his personal thanks are due the
public for giving him one. We
hope the custom viii! be abolished,
for it is in keeping with an idea
already too prevalent, that office
is favor instead of II trust. >
Congratulations to our contem-
porary upon its discovery. Why
didn't we all think of that before.

"DISPENSARY DOOMED" :"
The Author of the System in
South Carolina Admits the
Fact.
Piedmont Headlight.

y
interviewing the newly elected
legislature as to how they stand
on the dispensary, high license
and prohibition. Not enough
counties bavc as yet been heard
from to settle the issue, but from
the answers received 1t looks very
much as if the present dispensary
law is doomed. The prohibition
sentiment has developed strength,
while local option seems to lead
the dispensary advocates.
\ few days since IL Headlight
reporter conversed with we'll
posted gentleman from Columbia,
who is a staunch friend to tie
dispensary. We asked him his
opinion as to what the next ses-
sion of the legislature would do
with the dispensary. He an
swered:
eff it stands at all, the pres
ent 'sw will be so amended and
revolutionized that you wouldn' t
recognize it if you met it in the
road. But | would not be sur
prised if the prohibitionists and
the local open advocates united
and passed a strict prohibition
law for South Carolina. When
ever the issue between prohibi-
tion and the dispensary was made,
prohibition won by IA crushing
majority. In Anderson county
the people voted direct on the
dispensary, local option and pro-
hibition and prohibition won
Overwhelmingly. If the friends
of the dispensary save the law,
they will have to rally their for
ces and work hard. But even
they will have to submit to revo-
lutionizing changes in the present
law. In the first place, the peo-
pie of every county will be per
mltted to vote on the issue and
say whether or not they want Il
dispensary established within
their borders, and | believe that
three fOurths of the counties IN
our State will declare for prohibi-
ton. Then the constablcs must
go, for there is violent opposition
to them. They had as well be-
gin to hunt down another lob.
Then | believe that the profit
feature of the dispensary law will
be omitted, and the strictest kind
of regulations thrown around the
sale of liquors.
81 am thoroughly convinced, :"
continued the gentleman, s.that
the dispensary is now managed
honestly and in business-like
manner. But a while back those
connected with the State dispen-
sary in Columbia got to fussing
among themselves, and making
serious charges against one an
other, and the people were led to
believe that the whole thing was
reeking with corruption, and an
unjust prejudice was built no
against the business. These men
In Columbia have simply gone to
work and killed the goose that
laid them a golden egg many
months. | am a staunch friend
to the dlspensarY, as you know,
and now that the courts have de-
clared the law constitutional, it
ought to be given a fair trial and
no material changes made. But
my opinion is that it will take
hard work by the friends of the
dispensary if they can save
remnant Of the law to build upon
again, after prohibition has proven
impracticable, as it surely will
