Not tOaslstrI,t,


Tho political preachers who are
bong supported by tho liquor mon
in their warfare against the dispcn,
S"ry, will prove tho popularity of the
d'spensnry, whiIo failing to induce
tho church to form an "unholy ulli-
"nco'" If preachers and liquor mon
form IN alliance to doroat tho dis
pcnsary, the fact will not ho on
dorsod by tho popular vote OF the
people. Tho better sentiment among
intelligent laymcn has always con
dcnned politics in tho pulpit. And
tho preacher who goes out into tho
siumS to hunt alliliation with the
whlskcy gllzzling element may havo
cause to regret tho association. As
Il rulo, preachers, seek association
and friendship among temperance
pooplo-Christinn people.
If man is known by the company
no koops, what arc wo TO think OF tho
sincerity and honesty Of q preacher
prohibitionist who seeks the associu.
ton and support Of liquor men on
molal questions?
While it is truo that somo of tho
best mon IN tho world have become
victims Of tho liquor habit, yet, as Il
rule, thoy do not expect proachors to
form IN alliance with them on thcir
weakest point.

to consider how they got there, and
whether they arc not in fault to
some extent.
There is no concealment about it
and the editor Of Tho State, who is
tho spokesman Of the license element,
has announced his position clearly
and oponly. The denial by the
preachers that the combination is
"sought" cuts no figure. 1t exists,
and that is all asserted and to my
mind it is "unholy," and must make
every good man feol uncomfortable.
If the dispensary is overthrown
every practical man knows that sa-
looms will be ro established in less
than five years. 1 would deplore
such a result rs q great loss to So
cioty and know many preachers are
Of the samo opinion. l shall yet
hope to SEQ all good men Of all
classes united to mako the dispen-
sary the success it can become. I
believe prohibition is Il Trojan horse
by which the saloons want to again
enter our State. Tho whiskoy mon
believe tho same thing. Tam against
the saloons and all Of their friends,
whether thoy bo good men who are
blind fanatics or schcming politicians.

Peter the Grcni's WIN In China,

What will be tho result of the

lation of that singular document
known to European statesmen and
historians rs "I'ho Will of Pctor tho

al and revolution in China havo been

Two centuries ago, or to be more
exact, in 1890, Potter, since Justly

Strong animal passions, and in his

tho most dangerous character, he
had, nevertheless, strong intellect,
stronger will and full measure Of
that practical common sonse, which
now and then in tho worlds history
has beon known to characterize a
ruler of grout provinces.
Potter had neither hoot nor army
worthy of tho name No nation in

tho date Of his dcceaso, February 10,
l125, he had destroyed the military
prestige Of Sweden, secured much of
h"r territory on the eastern shore of
the Baltic sea, established ports up,
on tho sen of Azov and the Casdit n,

Some Suggestive Figures


made by the Prohibi'ionists going to
show that prohibition has been a
success, can be refuted by the official
record the only safe guard, when
seeking information. 10 further prove
that prohibition is a failure where
evor it has been tried, we take from
the report OF tho United States Com
missioners Of Internal Revenue for
fiscal year ending June 30, 1899,
showing the number Of licenses
issued in prohibition States:

These figures with reference to
South Carolina include all of the
dispensaries and those blind tigers
which will not take chances with
Uncle Sam. It will thus be seen
that il the prohibition State of Maine
with a population half the size of
South Carolina, there arc I 1852 retail
revenue licenses issued by the United
States government. In the prohibition
State of Iowa, with very little
larger population than South Caro-
lima, the United States government
has issued 3,730 retail liquor licenses
In the probibitin States of Kansas,
with slightly increased population
over South Carolina, tho United
States government has issued 1851
retail Hopes licenses. These figures
arc taken from the official record of
the United States government and
we believe they are worthy of more
credence than the wild assertion of
mon who, in their zeal for the cause
they repreeent, got mighty close to
fanaticisn.
