Rural F &C Delivery.

The rural free mail delivery is evidently
greater achievement than we once
thought, Judging from tho cagerncss of
different claimcntS to get the credit of
its establishment, although we believed
from the first that it would bring more
tangible results and moro actual public
service to the masses Of the people than
grcss i'll many years.
Several papers in the State have pub
lishcd an article signed by "Onc Who
Knows giving Congressman Latimer
large credit for the establishment of the
rural free delivery system and recently
Congressman Norton has been reported
as claiming the honor of establishing
the system. The truth Of the matter is
that DR.. j. VIM. Stokes from this Dis
trict deserves the honor and the dstinc-
ton of having carried the measure sue
ccssfully through Congress, although he
does not clam to have originated the
scheme.
Others in previous years tried and
failed but Dr. Stokes took up the work
and prosecuted it with such ability and
persistence that he succeeded in having
the system put in operation Doubtless
other Congressman from this State and
other States cO-opcratcd with him. but
he was the recognized leader and cham
pion Of the measure. TO sustain our
contention we quote the following from
Congressman Griggs, ono of Gcorgia's
ablcst representatives, who published in
an Atlanta paper a complete history of
the rural mail matter. Mr.. Griges says:
THE next year NS9S) Congress gave
100000 to continue experiments in this
direction. My recollection is that the
Department. asked for only Sl50,0O0 and
the Committee recommended that
amount on the floor of the House Hon.
}. VIM. Stokes, of South Carolina, fast
friend of the farmer, moved to mako it
S3OOO0O and it passed in that sllapc.'
This ought to show that Dir. Stokes is
the one people should thank for the sue
ccsSfu! elimination Of the FREQ rural
mail delivery. Moreover hc had the SER
vice extended and applied along all star
routes throughout the State, beginning
july lst. The people along these routes
are already enjoying the benefits of bet
ter mail facilities.
1t may be added that Congressman
Grggs, from whom the above is quoted
is prominent member of the postoilicc
Committee Of the House and hence is in
position to know the actual facts in
the matter. Orangeburg Patriot.

Indications are that tho Dickinson and Kirby

Tho representative Of the Boone cle-
ment of tho Black Diamond Railroad,
who is now in England, will sail for

deceived evorybody-including Honest

unless Dickinson produces tho whore

Hoyt and the Whlskey Question.

Any fear that the election of Col
lIoyt would abolish the dispensar,
at once and open the way for the
return Of open barrooms is entirely
groundless. In the first place, the
Governor cannot alter the law in any
way, and his recommendation to thai
effect would have littlc weight with
Legislators who disagree with him.
"A prohibition Governor with {
dispensary Legislature would make
no alterations in the dispensary law
! Hence dispensary newspapers and
politicians are asking, Why try tc
elect q prohibitionist Governor wher
it is known he cannot alter the law
TO which it may be replied, Why
try so hard to defeat prohibitionist
for Governor if he cannot alter the
law ? Certainly prohibition Gov.
crnor would be as eager to enforce
any provision Of the dispensary law
that restricts liquor selling as would
a dispensary Governor, for the for
mcr wants to prevent all drinking,
while the latter wants to limit it only
to certain way.
Dispcnsary men ought therefore
to be as well satisfied with a prohibi-
tion Governor rs with one who ia
vors the dispcnsary, unless it is their
desire to encourage liquor drinking
and that they all deny. let the
fight be made for Legislators, if it is
desired to save the law.
While the election of a prohibi-
zionist as Governor would not abol-
ish the dispensary law, it would have
a good moral effect by putting the
disapproval Of the people upon the
States engaging in the liquor bust
ness, and would tend to make liquor
drinking not so popular pastimc as
it is.
There is no danger of bringing
back barrooms. The State Const-
tuition stands in the way of that, and
the constitution cannot be changed
except by a two thirds vote of both
Houses OF the State Legislature,
afterwards ratified by vote of the
people. Not ouly does the constitu-
ton stand in the way, but the scnti-
mcnt OF the people is unaltcrably
opposed to the rcopcning of bar
rooms. Any liquor selling that will
hereafter be done must be done under
some plan that contains the best fca-
lures of the present dispcnsary law.
SO that the election OF Col. IIoyt
as Governor would not bring back
the open barroom. Its only effect,
so far rs this ''issuc" is concerned,
would be a popular condemnation Of
the liquor selling by the State as is
now done.
There are other reasons entirely
independent Of prohibition and dis
pcnsary that would make the election
of Col. lIoyt a good thing for the
State. Stated generally and with
no reelection upon any other candi-
date for the Office, he would make
the best Governor, because he is bet.
ter fitted for the cG .cnt discharge
OF the duties of the office. And
that consideration we believe does
not have half the weight with the
ordinary voter that it ought to have,
his mind being bcfoggcd and bcfud-
died over lot Of so-called "issucs"
which are really no issues at ALL
