a Change Inevitable.

What will he the fate of the
dispensary! That is question
which Is being asked throughout
South Carolina. Papers which
have always fought the dispensary
have renewed their attacks with
greater zeal; papers which have
heretofore always defended the
institution arc now either silent
or say that if things be as charged
and there is no hope for a change
then the dispensary must 90. The
determination of the dispensary' 5
fate will be made by the Iegisla-
ture at its next session, next Jan
uary. The revelations may so
disgust a majority of the legisla-
ture as to cause it to repeal the
dispensary law and substitute
prohibition, license, with dispen
sary restrictions, or local option
between prohibition, county dis
pensaries and license with dispen
sary restrictions. Or the legisla
tors may not wish to take such an
important step on the eve of a
campaign in which the whole
question can be settled by the peo
pie. In that case, the Legislature
may change the entire system OF
managing the dispensnry opera,
tions, or it may defeat Mr. Hasel-
den, if he stands for re election,
and elect as his successor man
who will cooperate with Messrs
Williams and Boykin, two mem,
bers of the board against whom
there are no charges and insinua
tions and who have steadfastlv op
posed evils now complained of.
There must be change of some
sort. The dispensary cannot
continue with no change in
the system or personnel of its
management. That is as certain
as death and more sure than tax
es. If the legislature makes ne
change, the dIspensary will lose
the support of many papers and
thousands of voters who have
steadfast!y upheld it in the past

There is no encouragement for
the bears, says The State, in the
weekly cotton report. Instead of
the rush to see which they counted
on rs the result of the decline IN
price the receipts are actually fall
ling off, and heavily. The move
ment into sight for the week Just
closed was 14S, 900 bales less than
for the corresponding week last
years, $1,000 bales less than for
the same week in 1897. Last
week the reductions were 117,OOO
and 1000 bales respectively. Thus
far in October the falling off has
been 335, 900 bales, the deficiency
increasing heavily each week. We
are in receipt of bulletin from
Price, Mccormick & Co., New
York, dated the 18th inst and
giving nearly a thousand replies
from banks and buyers all over
the south to telegraphic inquiries
by that firm. The showing made
is surprising, even to o bull. An
overwhelming majority of the re-
plies show that the crop is very
short and lis being marketed frees
ly as received; that there are no
undue accumulalions, but on the
other hand no pressure to sell:
that the cotton held is in strong
hands, able to retain it indefinite
ly; that money is easy and banks
willing to advance freely on cot
ton. Price, Mccormick & Co.
say that mathematically the crop
should bo 5000, 900 bales. "We
are coming to feel" they add,
"that it is shorter than almost
anyone has previously believed or
has the courage now to admit. -
Moral: Hold your cotton.

What has become of Tillman,
the guardian of the States honor
and integrity. Evidently he has
changed his views. A few years
ago he made unsupported charges
that there was corruption in the
high places of the State, that
there was something rotten in
South Carolina. He offered no
proof and Il great many people
believed him. Now that there
are charges with strong evidence
back of them that something is
wrong, he and his supporters sit
back and say, Bring in the evi
dence. " Before, no evidence was
needed, hut on mean suspicious
and greed for Office good men
were turned down and debarred.
Now, they try to hide the eyi
dence and they claim that men
can't be convicted on insinuations
and then bolster up frauds and do
it nj! to keep bad men in office.
But then, in his famous Orange
burg speech he said he would be "a
fool if he didn't change his opin-
ion. Evidently IN this respect he
is not Il fool. Ol.-Greenwood Index.
