Anderson Mail.
All ere united in the knowledge
and opinion that the dispensary
law is not enforced in Charleston.
The mild statement Of the News
and Courier that it can never be
enforced as thoroughly in Char
lesion rs in smaller communities
differently situated is lame con-
fession of the disagreeable truth
that this law is almost entirely
ignored ia that city.
We concur, however, with the
News a.d Courier in the belief
that an honest effort has been
made to punish the violators of
the law in Charleston. That it
signally failed is the well known
fault of Charleston Jurors and
witnesses. The people of Char
lesion almost TO n man are square
against the dispensary. Senator
TiIlman, John Gary Evans and
Governor Eilerbe, rs governor,
with unlimited authority in their
hands, utterly failed to force it on
the city, and Governor McSween
ey's policy of local self>govern-
msnt, the only tenable position
for the chief executive to take,
has likewise failed to persuade
or drive this belligerent COM
munity into submission.
So now the trend of public
sentiment seems to bs to let, Char
lesion work ont its own destiny.
There is faint hope that some
day she Will realize, while in this
attitude of defiance, the seIf-ln.
filcted Injuries she is receiving.

Judge Benet'S Plan.
He Handles the Hip Pocket Evil
With MerciIess Vigor.
Special to The State.


Laurens, Oct l2.-The final
presentment of the grand Jury
was banded in yesterday afternoon
and in commenting upon the
various presentments therein con-
tained and before dismissing the
body his honor, Judge Benet,
took up and discussed at length
the recommendation to increase
the penalty for the pernlcious
practice of carrying concealed
weapons. There were during the
past year 247 homicides in this
State, the vast majority being
victims Of the handy pocket pis-
tol. The tendency Is appalling
whom We think of the $50 or more
lives to be thus ended in the next
II months. 1t is a violation of
the law in this State to carry con-
cealed weapons, but who will I'M
dertake to prosecute a case now,
rs the practice has become so gen
eral that even officials and Jurors
arc not uncommon violatOrs of
this very statute.
AS a possible remedy a leglsla>
tive act is suggested which will
make 1t unlawful to own, carry,
buy or sell pistols unless they are
of certain size-too large to carry
in the pocket. The law guarau-
teeing the right to bear arms has
been construed by some courts to
apply to the vest or hip pocket
pistol. 1t is obvious that reme~
dial measure should he urged by
all lovers of law and Christianity.
The idea would he to make all
revolvers largo enough to require
a belt and scabbard to carry them,
as a gentleman should if he must
bear arms and not as an assassin
looking for his victim.
These remarks by the Judge
occasioned by the reference to the
matter, were no doubt called
forth by the general character
Of the murder cases being tried
here this week, in which the
notorious pistol always came in as
the means of execution.

STORY OF A SLAVE

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is
the worst form of slavery. George
d. Williams, of Manchester, Mich.
tells how such a slave was made
free. He says: "My wife has been
so helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric
Bltters, she is wonderfully i'm
proved and able to do her own
work" " This supreme remedy for
female diseases quickly cures
nervousness, sleeplessness, melan~
choly, headache, backache, fainting
and dizzy spells. This miracle
working medicine is a godsend to
weak, sickly, run down people.
Every bottle guaranteed. Only SO
cents. Sold by Crawford Bros

Williamson, Oct IA Joint
stock company was organized in
Williamson last Saturday for the
purp Sc of erecting a warehouse

thousand bales of cotton and work

ton will oe stored and insured
against loss by fire at 25 cents
per bale per month and the Bank

loan on all cotton stored therein
if desired.
The warehouse will be built of
brick, with parapet walls and Il
compete system of waterworks
for defense against fire. Jas r
Gossett, G w Sullivan and a nuns
Der of other business men of our
town are among the promoters of
this new scheme.
Our town was visited today by
two Mormon elders who attempts
ed to distribute their literature on
the streets, but soon found that
their presence was needed else
where and they lost very little
time before moving on. They
were headed towards Anderson
and were travelling afoot.
