A Rumsellers Confession.

There is man in New York
city, the proprietor and owner of
a magnificent building which he
formerly used as saloon, but
who has retired from the accursed
trade. He gave as the cause of
his giving up the nefarious "legit-
innate" business the following rea
sons: 81 have sold liquor for at
least eleven years-long enough
for me to see the beginning and
the end of it's evil effects. | have
seen man jauntily dash off his
first glass of liquor in my place
and afterward fill the grave of a
suicide and drunkard. | have
seen man after man, wealthy and
educated, come into my saloon to
drink and carouse, who have not
now the wherewith to buy din
ner, and who are miserable, drum
ken loafers and beggars. l can
recall no less than twenty Gus
toners, worth from 100000 to
$5OO,OOO, who are at present

credit or employment-in short,
buns. After seeing all this, can
you wonder that l got out of the

Dispensary Removes In
ducementS to Liquor
Drinking.

1t has been proved to be the
only practical solution of the
liquor question. People always
have and always will have liquor.
The greatest evil to the public is
the liquor seller. The more he
sells the greater his profit. The
profit feature is his only incen
tive, therefore, more the en-.
couragement he offers the buyer
buys more and more. That being
the case that compels the unfor-
tunate to buy more aud more.
The Dispensary solves this:
The Dispenser gets his salary
whether he sells one drop or not,
and he is not allowed to indulge
in seductive and disastrous credit
system. 1t is of no interest to
him 70 sell impure liquor or to
seduce a minor or to give free
lunch to the unwary. He is

Extracts From an Interesting
Letter Written From Paris.
Senator w. @. Hough,
Lancaster, S. G.

Dear Sir: The growing inter
est | feel In industrial education
prompted me to come abroad
this summer for the purpose of
studying this important subject
at the Paris Exposition and in
other countries of Europe. The
exhibit here is very fine and cost
millions of dollars to get up in a
convenient and accessible form,
this expense being shared by
every civilized country on the
globe. | have gathered many new
and hel lpful ideas from it which
| hope to incorporate In our
work at home.
A little later | hope to lay be-
fore all who are interested the
results Of my enquiries, at pres
ent | can only write briefly to
say that | shall return home more
deeply impress cd than ever be-
fore with the peculiar advanta-
ges possessed by our own beauti-
ful southland. God has surely
blessed us abundautly, and by
properly educating and training
our children, they will share
even more graciously in these
blessings than we have done so
| far.
We are sending our cotton to
Europe and getting 6 and 7 cents
pound for it, and the people
here are working it up In various
ways and sending it back to US,
getting three and four dollars a
pound for it. In many cases they
get more than three dollars for
the finished. l know of a lady
who. a short time ago bought a
garment, for which she paid at
the rate Of two hundred and
seventy dollars pound for the
goods, which were cotton, but of
course this is a rare exception.
Now what is true of cotton is
also true of our iron, wood, mar.

are 30 aDundahtly supplied,
There is danger of OVERRIDING
the thing in making a cheap and
common class of goods such as
the south has mostly made here
tofore, but the market is always
good for the finer and better
class of goods. 1t takes skilled
labor of the highest class to train
workers for making the finest
and best things.
My idea is that industrial
training should be introduced in
every school, both the city and
country, in its elementary forms,
just as We could and should in
troduce Nature study, Physical
culture, Moral study, etc, and
that this work should advance
with the pupils growth until all
who wish to do so should enter
the state industrial and textile
school. We should also have In
the south one great, central in
dustrial institution where the
best talent in the world could be
employed in teaching teachers
and men and women who are ca
pable of leadership. | am work
ing on this plan also and hope
and expect before long to report
some su bstantial progress. There
are people who believe it i'm prac
ticable to teach anything in our
schools but the three RS" but
we have a rising and strong gen
ernation who believe that the
three "Hs" should take the place
Of the three "Rs"-that is Head
Heart and Hand-and l am one
of them.
Of course there are difficulties
to meet and overcome, they can
and will be meG and mastered
they must be. We must also use
our united efforts in securing the
Nicaraguan Canal-or some eas-
way Of crossing the isthmus, for
this will open up the market of
the eastern world, and prove in
many ways an enormous advant-
age to US, provided, of course, we
are awake and prepared to take
advantage of these new openings.
What we need to do is educate
our children properly; give them
all-round training and develop
ment, education that will bring
out their strongest and best
qualities and then we will have
beautifully developed men and
women who will be capable of
doing from five to ten times as
much in the world as those who
are poorly equipped. 1t is to this
work that l have dedicated my
life and in which | ask your aid
and cooperation.
In emphasizing industrial edu.
cation | do not mean to ignore
classical studies. There are how
ever, few who enter the profes.
slons, while the great masses
need to make their living in
other lines.
In Nature study and element,
airy Agriculture our children get
a newer and grander conception
Of farming life than they would
have otherwise. The new educa
ton you see, is many sided and
embraces the best in everything.
There are other things Of inter
est in connection with the expo
sition about which | would like
to write you, also about the
schools have visited, but cannot
do so now.
Thanking you for your ndly
cooperation in the past, and

PROHIBITIoNIsTs FIGHT THE DIsPEN.
sARY, BUT THEY ARE EXCEED.
INGLY CAREFUL NOT TO IN
TERFERE WITH BLIND
How different is the blind tiger,
the progeny Of prohibition, whose
only ambition is to make dollars
for himself and drunkards for the
State, and whose only claim to
citizenship is based on his brazen
effrontery as law breaker. But
1t is contended there are tigers
under the Dyspensary system.
Certainly, but the Dispensay raw
does not make tigers. Do you
suppose people patronize tigers
because there is dispensary law,
or because they want liquor to
drink?
1t is the patronage that makes
tigers, and is it not natural to
conHlude that if you abolish the
dispensary that the patronage
heretofore going to the dispensary
will 90 to the blind tigers, there
by increasing them ten fold.
Then, when the dispensary
goes, the special officer must go
and with only the civil officers,
who are now unable to cope with
the few tigers, the chaotic condi-
ton that mnst follow is enough
to stagger every citizen who loves
his home and respects the law.
Under prohibition law heavy
tax must be levied upon every
one to enforce the law whether
he favors prohibition or not. But
under the dispensary law every
tritling negro who buys his flask
of liquor contributes tax to the
town and county to see that he
keeps the peace, to work the road
and to educate the children.
BEAUTIFUL sENTIMENT-MIsERA
FAILURE IN PRACTICE.
Prohibition is a beautiful sem
timent, but miserable failure in
practice. The prohibitionist can
use no stronger argumentthan to
cite the states that have tried
prohibition. Let us see the result
of such argument. Maine, Iowa
and Kansas have prohibition
under their constitutions. Now
compare these states with South
Carolina by the report of the
United States commissioner of
interna! revenue cor the year
ending June 80, 1899:
Maine-Number of retail
liquor dealers, 1,125.
Iowa-Number of retail liquor
+ dealers, $3.50.
kansas-Number of retail
liquor dealers, 1851.
South Carolina-Number of
rerail liquor dealers, 324.
POSITIVE PzooF THHT THE DIsPEN-
sARY is BETTR THAN PROHIBI-
TON.
The 324 credited to South Car
lima includes every liquor dis
pensary in the state. Thus it is
seen that the prohibition state of
Kansas, with one and one half
million population, has over ten
times as many illegal liquor Ii
censes as South Carolina. That
Iowa, with a fraction over two
million population, has sixteen
times as many, and that the
state of Maine, with about seven
hundred thousand population
(about one-half the population of
South Carolina), has five times
as many.
