is sold in Maine as in South Carolina.
Commissions sent from the English, as
well rs the United States governments,
have pronounced it the best system yet
tried. 1t is based upon the fundamental
principles of human nature.
Each of the debaters were allowed five
minutes rejoinder. The rejoinders were
as follows:
MR.. LIES REJOINDER.
Mr. Lilies who spoke for the affirma-
tive, said that the recent election of
dispensary Governor is not due to the
peoples favoring the dispensary, but to
Senator Tillman's influence. He denied
that the whiskey ring of city could
control State and said that Mr.. Croker
had New York city in the palm of his
hand. but could not control the State.
He declared that the dispensary can and
does control South Carolina. He cited
instances where the officials of South
Carolina had been charged with filling
their pockets from rebates and represent
ing whiskey houses. He asserted that
he himself had bought whiskey from
dispensary without signing his name.
MR.. FLoURNoY's REPLY.
Mr. Flournoy's rejoinder followed. 1--WE
do not contend" said he, that the dis
pensary scheme is perfect one. If the
gentlemen of the affirmative have bought
liquor from the dispensary they are in
terested parties and their evidence is not
admissible. OF the seventeen cities that
have dispensares in South Carolina they
come with two of them which they as
sert are run not according to law.
They claim the entire system is unwise
and bring the evidence of one railroad
man to support such a claim" He said
that the affirmative, admitting the great
evil, must offer a better remedy than the
dispensary, and that the affirmative had
suggested both local option and prohibit
tion as better OF the thirteen States
that once adopted prohibition only two
now retain the system. He quoted figures
to show that in prohibition States the
sale of liquor had increased.
MR. WANAMAKER's REPLY.
A public system of dispensary is differ
ent from a system for revenue tax One
act negatively and the other positively
South Carolina keeps on her statute book
a statue to stop the trade, and another
20 make much as she can. The whole
thing is rotten from the governor to the
man who sweeps the dispensary floor. He
asserted that drinking is allowed on the
dispensary premises. He said that Char
lesion does not oppose the dispensary,
1000 votes for to 500 against, and in
Charleston the blind tigers run wide open.
The three dispensary candidates men
toned are candidates int the primary
which is not the election. He asserted
that the sale of liquor takes place in
clubs in Columbia.

AN ACCEPTABLE PRESENT IS A BOX

folks at home.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-11-30
MR.. GARDENS REPLY.

Mr.. Garden asserted that the negative
had produced all their evidence from the
dispensary men, who were interested per-
ested persons. He said the dispen-
sary was opposed as a unit by the min
listers of South Carolina. He asserted
that they had shown great many un-
wise points in the system, while they
were entitled to the decision il they had
showed one. He asserted the system is
socialstic, that it cannot be enforced
without violating the constitution, that it's
operation had created loss of confidence
in church. To be wise it must be the
best possible under the conditions, one If
not perfect should lead to something
more nearly so.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-11-30
MR.. DUNN's REPLY.

He began by asking if the dispensary
held the power, why should there be three
dispensary candidates even in the pri-
mary. The United States has declared
that the State could with propriety regu-
late this matter through the constabulary
The mayors of seventy dispensary towns
say there has been a decrease of drunk
enness under the dispensary. The ques
tion is, is it wise now Prohibition is
impossible, local option not feasible, is it
net better to get what you can than to go
without all you want. Six out of seven of
the men formerly engaged in the liquor
business in South Carolina have gone out
since the introduction of the dispensary
system. The whiskey ring has been abol
ished. Prohibition is aimed at the use
and not the abuse of whiskey. The dis
pensary is a happy medium
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-11-30
MR.. FLACK'S REPLY.


Mr.. Flack's reply was devoted mainly
to summing up the argument. He asked
if the local option or prohibition system
were better than dispensary, why the
affirmative didn't show the conditions of
a prohibition or local state He asserted
that the dispepsary has been the means
of decreasing drunkenness. Temperance
societies no longer advocate local option.
He then took up prohibition and showed
the objection to it, and then to local
option. He asserts the dispensary was
wise, because it destroys the political
power of the whiskey men. 1t elimi-
mated the selling of liquor for profit and
said that the rebate stealing could not
take place now as the liquor was furn-
ished the State by means of sealed bids
MR.. BUSHELS SPEECH.
In presenting the cup Mr.. Perrin Bus

Representatives of Trinity College:
''It is much more simple and pleasant

which has been so tlercely fought and so

upon the success of your efforts-a victory
which is substantial and of value because
of the worth Of your advisaries
Your painstaking preparation, your
carefully planned attack, your excellent
presentation of the argument has met
with due reward. Your labors have been
crowned with success, and the exultation
of your fellow students and alumni is
pardonable and proper. You, their chosen
representatives, have proven true to the
confidence they have reposed in you. You
have fully measured up to the opportunity
and the occasion. 1t is because of this
that they now honor you. This trophy
which, on behalf of the Chamber of Com
merce of this city, now deliver into your
keeping for the coming year. they will
value not on account of the penny weight
of precious metal moulded into this beau
tiful token of victory but because it rep
resents labor thoroughly and perfectly
accomplished; they will treasure it not
merely because you have been declared
the victors in this struggle of mental

cause you have developed the best in
yourselves and made the very most of
your abilities and opportunities. 1t is

NJ. F. Mcdonnell and Bart Smith
were tried by Jury in Justice f. A.
Chapman's court in Cockrell town
ship last Thursday and acquitted OF
the charge of selling diseased beef,
the jury taking the position that no
one who ate the alleged diseased beef
got sick, and, therefore, the defendants S
who sold it were I"not guilty" The
testimony, however. showed that the
heifer, which was converted into beef
and peddled around the neighbour ood
by Messrs. Mcdonnell and Smith had
been driven until she had become very
much overheated and finally fell into
a ditch and was disabled for furth er
loComotion by almost breaking her
neck; that in this condition she lay
from II o'clock one day till o'clock
the next morning and was then butch
cred and the meat sold to different
parties by the defendants. The heifer
while, perhaps, not diseased, the sell
ing Of her carcass under the circum-
stances was certainly a matter of
questionable integrity.

Keytesville Disgraced

Keytssville Disgraced.
The appearance of Coy & Finnell's
restaurant and lunch-room in Keytes-
vile presented a dllapldated, disgust
ing and disgraceful spectacle last
Saturday morning.
John Finnell, one of the proprietors,
was not at his place of business, and
his partner, James Coy. and gang Of
rowdies, from what we Can learn,
mutually agreed to have a high old
time.
All of the participants had gotten
on the outside of liberal quantity of
whiskey or the Coy & Flnnell brand
Of hard cider, or, perhaps, had in
dulged in both beverages. and were
ready and anxious to paint the town
a deep crimson and the sidewalks a
terra Gotta.
A dance was proposed. and Coy
mounted box to 'cal off"
Nobody seems to know just how it
happened, but it would probably be
nearer the truth to say that those wh0
ought to and doubtless do know most
about the melee, which followed the
solree. are non. n.communicative.
At all events a general miX-up oc-
,.lpas9 shortly after the dance COM
menced-bottles, dishes, briCk-bats,
etc. were used freely, windows were
broken. showcases smashed, dishes
d emolished into smithereens, shelving
more or less wrecked, and pine par
tition razed to the floor.
To use Coy's own language, they
wrecked his shack" and those who
saw it the next morning will certainly
not dispute Coy's statement in this
respect, at least.
The boys" must have had whole
lot of fun corked up in jug Of fl re-
water and turned it all loose at once
with a generous mixture of fire and
brlmstone.
While it may have been fun" fer
the boys, their conduct was extremely
disgraceful and gave the town a very
black eye, morally.
Strange as it may seem, there were
no arrests.
Repairs to Coy & FinneIl's "shack"
were made by means OF pony purse
to which the nocturaI reveIers contri
buted.
Last Friday nights brawl has
convinced every citizen of
Keytesvi!le, who has the best in terest
of the town at heart, that there is a
crying need here for a city marshal
that will knock down and drag out
such characters, who have no res peCt
for themselves nor regard for the city
ordinances, and whose only law is to
do as they please.
With such a marshal and a few
fines assessed at the maximum limit
by Mayor Edwards would result IL a !
decided Improvement in the moral
standing Of this community.
But "a knock down and drag-out
marshal" could not be expected to !
stay on duty all night. hence we offer
l suggestion that places where high !

FOR vIcE-pREsIDENr.
REFUSAL TO CONVENE CON-
GRESS.

In the Presidents refusal to convene
Congress to deal with the Chinese
crisis we have another dangerous ex-
Inhibition of Mckinley imperialism.
Every patriotic American is in favor
of affording all possible protection to
bur fellow-citizens in China and of
requiring full PREPARATION for injuries
and losses inflicted upon or sustained
by them. But the course of our gov
ernment at this time ought to be de-
termined by Congress. There can be
NO more offensive exhibition of i'm
perialism than the encroachment by
an Executive upon the rights reserved
to the people or their Representatives
in the legislative department of the
government. Congress ought not TO be
ignored at this time. Sending thou
sands Of additional troops to China, en-
gaging and continuing in actual war
fare, all without the authority or con
sent of Congress, and when Congress
can easily be convened, we believe to
be contrary to the genius of our institu-
tions.
The wishes of Mr.. Hanna and other
Republican campaign managers, and
their fears as TO the effectof session d
Congress upon the election, ought moi
to determine the policy Of the Admins
tration in this crisis At this time tht
President should be broadly patriotic
not narrowly partisan.
