Work of the LEGISLATURE.

Senator James w. Bucklin of Grand
Junction, chairman Of the senatorial tax
commission, is in the city stopping at the
Albany. In answer to News query as
to the prospect OF legislation this winter,
he said:
"Slnce the defeat of Bryan it becomes
necessary fer the real democracy Of the
country to concentrate it's strength on
state Legislatures rather than on con
grsss, in order to advance the rights and
welfare of tho people. In this state, in
particular, tho most important Of all
qusstione, the financial is up for solution,
and it is urgently necessary that the
subject be considered from a broad,
statesmanliks point of view, rather than
from any emergency standpoint. We
want not merely more revenue, but We
should get it in just and wise man
nor"

pointed, one by authority Of the senate

Tillman in Chester.

Chester dispatch Of Thursday to
the Greenville News: Senator
Tillman threw himself into the
breach today in behalf of his
''baby," the dispensary. He de-
fended his use of the word ssal-
liance" as applied to the combi.
nation between the ministers and
tho barkeepers by quoting from a
standard work the definition of the
word as "a combination to effect
a common purpose. He asked
what becomes of Col Hoyt's un-
derlying principle if he accepts
the whisky votes and is used to
effect their purpose. Gonzales,
who hated the dispensary and who
hated prohibition, which is the
opposite of local option, had come
out openly and boldly as he always
did when he had an object in his
support. Col Hoyt and Bishop
Duncan had said that he, Tlllman
had lied. The speaker himself,
he said used to indulge IN bad
language but since he had be.
como senc or he had reformed and
Bishop Duncan was welcome to
his opinion. About DR. Gardner's
structures, he would say nothing
now: but would have something
to say about them when he reach.
ed Greenvillo. He was accused
of meddling in something that did
not concern him in the discussion
of the dispensary : but he boldly
proclaimed that he had something
to do with the dispensary. And
whom = combination was formed
to defeat it, he would tell the
people what he thought about it,
so help him, and then if they
choose to vote for prohibition, he
did not care, he would have dis
charged his duty and if anybody
did not like 1t, they would have to
lump it. When ministers of the
gospel go into politics they lay
themselves open to be criticised
and he would do 80.

The Southern Christian Advo,
cate, 10 reply to the letter from
Senator Tillman to its editor, says:
cit needs not many words to char
acterize this matter. Senator
TlIlman letter does not modify
his charge. Indeed he explains it
and actually argues to sustain his
baSeIess statement-and SO adds
to the insult. Whereupon it is
our duty to say that his statement
Id an inexcusable outrage-the
greater because made by a man
whose position demands particular
regard for truth and at least ordi
nary respect for reputable people.
His high opinion of religious peo-
pie "cuts no figure when they
differ with him Then they are
"bIind fanatics" etc. He seems
to think he carries all the wisdom
of our commonwealth and to diff,
fer with him is folly. His entire
course in this affair deserves re-
buke by all religious people. His
abuse of good men will not help
his pet monstrosity, the dispensa>
ry. That shame to our State and
damage to our citizens will CO.
And barrooms will not come back
either.

HELP! HELP!

Oh, come and join us. one anu all

You want His Kingdom here to be;
But, as the miser cings to gold,

You want, you say . a house above,
Where all is joy, and peace, and love;
But do YOU hope to reach that land,
And go with drunkards hand in hand?
We trust you'll reach that land so fair :;
But no rum seller will be there;

And help us work while yet tits day :?

Preachers on dispensary.

Senator Tillman says "When
ministers of the gospel 90 into
politics they lay themselves open
to be criticised"
The ministers had not gone in =
to politics in any true sense of
that world. 1t was only evident
that most of them favored prohi-
bition, which they have a perfect
right to do, and to be perfectly
candid, it is hard to see how a
minister of the gospel could ad-
yocate the sale of liquor by State
or individual.
To have an opinion on a politi,
cal question is not going into
politics. There was no excuse in
the world for TiIIman's charge of
an "alliance" between them and
barkeepers. Perhaps it is their
resenting the charge that he calls
going into politics. He only
knows.
This much appears plain: Sena.
tor Tillman would rather break
down every good influence the
ministers of the gospel may have
than see his pet scheme, the dis
pensary, suffer defeat. If it were
a question of preachers or tho
dispensary, he would say, hold on
to the dispensary.

IL o'clock this morning John X
James, a section boss in Pelzer
mill No. 4, and his son Frank, five
years of age, were taking boat
ride above the dam at Pelzer
when the little son lost his balance
and fell headlong into the water.
The father sprang from the boat
to rescue bis son and succeeded in
catching him, but being unable
to raise him from the water,
which at that point was very deep,
they both went down together for
the last time.
A few hours later Mr.. James
body was found, and in its em-
brace was the lifeless form of the
little son for whom the father had
lost his own life.

Mr. T. G Featberstone and Col j
l. M lrby were in Char lesion last
Tuesday on business before the
United States court. They were
interviewed by The News and
Courier as to the probable out
come of the gubernatorial race,
and both expressed the opinion
that the race is between Hoyt and
McSweeney, with the chances in
favor of Hoyt. When asked if
the election of Hoyt would mean
much of victory for prohibition,
MIR Featherstone replied: "Not
such great one unless the legis-
lstive body is in favor of prohi.
bition. This hardly think will
be the case. However, we are
trying to elect prohibition repre-
sentatives from all of the cour-
ties. All that Hoyt can do is to
enforce the dispensary law, so as
to mako it almost a probibitory
law"

The Candidates for Governor-as

Gary undoubtedly caught the
crowd here Wednesday. And l
do not Judge this from the demon
stration in his favor, but from the
talk of the people. He is u clear,
forceful speaker, and impresses
you as man of ability and back
bone.
The ladies all like Hoyt because
Hoyt doesn't like whiskey-and
Hoyt gets the flowers. He made
out good case for his side and
will poll tho full prohibition vote
of the county.
McSweeney had moro friends
when he sat down than when ho
got up, for Gary had taken nearly
all of them from him by his ar
raignment of the constables, and
especially of the constable who
intern upted him. But McSweeney
redeemed himself somewhat by
his promise to investigate the
matter of constables gong around
to campaign meetings. He makes
the impression that he is honest
and conscientious, and trying to
do the best he can.
The newspapers haven't been
doing Patterson iustice-possiblv
because he has not done them
justice. He is not the most bril-
liant man in the world, but neither
is he a fool nor crank. He

Senator Tillman made a big

GUS charge in his speech at Ben

the preachers and of many who

Tillmsn and tho Preachers.


be expected to be under the cir
cumstancss, Senator Tillman's exc
PLANTATION AZ to why he holds the
preachers to be in alliance with
the blind tigers is far from satis-
factory.
In the first place, in their re-
'stions to the liquor question, the
motives Of the preachers and the
blind tigers are SO widely separst-
ed as to make the idea of an alliance
absolutely absurd. The tigers
are interested only for the love Of
gain. The preachers are Interests
ed for love of their fellow men.
But between the tiger business
and the preachers there Is sbso-
lutely nothing in common. Soma
tor Tillman surely knows this.
Are the tigers and the preachers
really working to tho same prac
tical end 2 Senator Tillman saws
they are. We assert that there
is not the slightest sclntilla Of
truth in his charge.
But few of the tigers of this
section have any political or social
influence. Not one out of dozen
is able to vote or to influence tho
vote of anybody else. 1t is q
well-known fact that thero is as
much or moro tiger business In
Charleston, Columbia anl other
dispensary towns, than there Is in
towns where there are no dispen,
saries. The reason is plain. Tho
tiger business can be conducted
in a dispensary town with much
more safety than in = town where
there is no dispensary. Tho
competition does not count for
much. BY closing at night, the
dispensary divides time with the
tigers, and the tigers are able to
buy their supplies from the dis
psnsaries and still sell them at a
profit. These are facts undisput-
ed and undisputsble.
When the dispensary was frat
established in Charleston, Colum-
bia, Greenvllle and other towns,
the principal opposition came from
the barkeepers. 1t is not that
way now. Most of the barkeepers,
along with many others, have
since drifted into the tiger busi-
ness, and relieved of the license
tax, in most instances they find
tigering more profitable than sa.
looming. We believe that a poll
of the tigers of the state today
would show an immense majority
in favor of the dispen,ary. We
believe also that if the tigers were
able, they would have a dispen-
sary in every non-dispensary town
in the state.
No, the preachers are cer-
tainly not In alliance with the
tigers. The sympathy between
the tigers and the dispensary is
much stronger than it is between
the tigers and the preachers. The
preachers are working against
both tiger and dispensary; but
not oil of the dispensary law. If
they win, they'll wipe out the dis.
pensary and apply the balance of
the law against their alleged allies,
the tigers. -Yorkvllle Enquirer.
