Ts the Editor Of Tho State.
In order that the people of our
State may know how the Second
South Carolina regiment is get
ting on over here in Cuba, l have
concluded that would write you
short letter. We have today
SCI men in camp, none sick OK
cept a few with mumps. We are
all most agrseshly surprised in
every way. The country is q
great surprise to us all. 1t looks
like paradise. The roses and
foliage are most beautiful. The
water is splendid almost as good
as the water at Savannah, which
Is the finest | ever drank. All the
people are friendly to Ne and | do
not see the need Of keeping troops
here another day. Many men of
the regiment say they wish to re-
main in Cubs the balance of their
I lives, as they think they can make
more money hero than 1T home.
We had hard voyage over be-
cause we we're put on q cattle
transport with 400 mules and
horses and were very much
crowded. 4 great many Of my
men were seasicK, but ! managed
to escape it and | mover felt bet>
ter in my life than | dc now. |
have never seen this regiment in
bstter spirits or in better health
than it is todsy and | pray good
health may continue. We are
kindly treated by Gen. Lee and
our other superior officers. The
weather is quite warm in the dav
but cool at night. We have had
but one rain, but it was trash
mover and our tents leaked very
badly. | am doing all IN my
humble power to kesp the regi-
ment in good shape and trust
may succeed. | am satisfied we
will have no fighting at all to do
and | believe in two months we
will be sent home.

Governor and tho Dispenssry.
Gorkville Enquirer.

orkNllie enquirer.
Reproduced on another page, is
about the only portion Of Governor
Ellerbe's annual message to the
general assembly that is of special
signifcance-thst portion relating
to the dispenssry.
Read as = whole, the discussion
of tho question appears to be
practical aud statesmsnllks; but
in it there are earmarks that be-
speak the tricky politician, aad
which, to those who will heed,
conveys a warming As to the posi-
bic developments of the future.
For instance, note how the gov
ernor is willing to leave the choice
between dispensary or prohibition
to the people but how, at the
same time, in one insidious para
graph, he says: "Any county,
however, that votes prohibition
should be made to bear all the OK
penses of enforcing the prohibi>
tion law; and such county should
not receive any of the profits of
the dispensary."
From very superficial point of
view, this appears to be just; but
the proposition will not bear a
more careful analysis.
If each county were allowed to
decide for itself whether it should
have dispenssry, and deciding in
favor Of the diSpensary were al
lowed to manage the institution on
ITS own responsibility, independ-
ent OF interference from the state
government, then it should not be
expected to share its profit or lows
with any other county: but if the
. dlspsnsaly system is to he main
tanned by the state government,
which draw, it's support from all
this counties, it follows that each
county is Justly entitled TO its
share Of whatever profits might
accrue from this business, Just rs
all the counties would be called
upon to make good any possible
overwhelming loss that might be-
fall this institution later on.
But a reasonable parallel to the
governor s proposition is this
Suppose the dispensary system
obtains in = county, and that
county draws its share of the
states profits for the support of
its public schools. 1t is reasonable
to suppose that in that county
there are many good citizens who
do not consu ne liquor in any
form but who have children to
educate. Because these citizens
do not consume liquor, they are
not supporters OF the dispersary,
and, therefore, do not contribute
to the fund that the dispensary
pays to education. Are those in.
dividual citizens then, on this
ground, to be denied the right to
send their children to the liauor
supported public schools The
comparison is analogous, and the
reader may draw his own conclu.
sion as to the souudness Of the
governors proposition.
No, from Il careful study of
Governor ElIerbc's suggestions
and recommendations, we are in
cIined to the opinion that he is
not striving after Justice and
equity in this matter. To us his
proposed scheme looks like an at.
tempt to provids a means where
by the legal sale Of liquor may be
forced on countiss wherein the
moral tone of the people /. too
high to admit Of its willing sane
ton.

that Mr.. Houck refused to have a

realized on everything offered for
sale. J. A. McGettriek, who acted
as auctioneer, made a distinctive
hit in auctioneering the different
pieces of property, and pulled out
every cent possible under the cir

times was that of the many purchas-

accept notes in only two cases, the
remainder being spot cash.

Renville Commissioners Meet but
Heed the Injunction.

hOVV SalV bu uhNSIOHs
Last Friday was the day set fo1
the Renville county commissioners
to meet and take action on the peti
tion secured by the Olivia county
seat boomers asking that a specia
election be called for the purpose O
submitting the proposition of chang
ing the county seat from Beaver
Falls to Olivia to voters of Renville
county.
The attorneys for the Olivia and
Bird Island boomers were present,
Senator Somerville passing through
here Friday morning, while D. A.
Stuart, who represented the Beav.
er Falls intervenors, came up from
Window Thursday evening and
drove to Beaver Falls with Senator
Somerville on Friday morning. Both
gentlemen returned in the afternoon
with the statement that nothing had
been done, Mr.. Stuart smiling for
the intervenors, and Senator Som.
erville looking rather sober for the
petitioner boomers.
AS stated in last weeks issue OF
The GAZETTE, Judge Qvale ordered
that Kelsey of the Olivia Times be
placed on trial before grand jury
at the next term of the district
court OF that county, commencing
Nov. 21st, to ascertain whether he
purposely omitted the first publica-
tion of the Bird Island notice. This
necessitated an injunction restrain
ing the commissioners from acting
on the Olivia petition, and the Bird
Island attorneys worked night and
day getting the latter papers ready.
Judge Qvale signed them as soon as
they were handed to him, and they
were served on the commissioners,
the county attorney and the auditor
on Wednesday and Thursday.
The commissioners, however, met
on Friday, commencing at one
O'Clock, to ascertain just where they
were at, and after talking the mat
over with the attorneys represent
Ing the Olivia side, decided to ad-
journ subject to the call of the
county auditor. This, so far as the
county seat is concerned, means
that nothing further will be done in
the matter until a jury agrees on
the question as to whether or not
Kelsey had time to publish the Bird
Island notice in his paper.
Both of the contestants-Bird
Island and Olivia-look tired over
the way the fight has dragged, and
the amount of money they have been
obliged to put up in attorneys fees,
revenue stamps, printing, etc., and
many of them wish, no doubt, that
the fight had never been commenced
particularly now that the chances
for removal are so remote.
