The Dispensary in Charleston.

The Press and Banner has not put itself Il
any trouble to ascertain whose business 1t II
to enforce the dispensary law, but as the Gov
ernor may employ as many constables as N
desires we assume that it is his duty.
The recent action Of the State Board o
Control would also indicate that it is thei
duty to enforce the law.
II 1t Is the Governors duty, and not that o
the State Board Of Control, then the recen
action Of the State Board Of Control Is no
understood.
The non-enforcement OF the law in Char
lesion was the lion in the path OF the Cover
nor last year, and his friends had not only Il
excuse him, but were under the necessity o
explaining. or not believing the stories as tc
free liquor In Charleston.
There is a growing sentiment which de
mands that the law be enforced alike ir
every part OF the State; and people In refer
ence to the law are coming to the conclusion
that Determinations for or against anybody
Is not becoming In an executive affair.
The State one dsylast week had an editor
ial on the subject which seemed to include
another article or comment on the Governor
and Charleston bosses. The article on the
tried to separate and omit the interllneations
in reference to the Governor and the Char
lesion bosses. The two subjects, 1t appears tc
us, ehould be treated under different heads.
We do not know II there was trading by
anybody In Charleston. We do not know II
anybody had right to traffic and trade with
. Charleston's vote, but we do know that when
the subject OF the non.enforcement Of the
law is discussed, that feeling Is aroused.
The Governor cannot afford to allow just
grounds for such talk. The people are de-
termined that our public officials shall no,
make fish OF one section and fowl of another
They want fair play, and they will have 1t, Oh
express their dissatisfaction in very plain
terms.
=. UP to this time, barring any reference to the
diepensary, the Governor has measured uI
to the expectations and requirements OF his
friends, but they will not excuse neglect te
make at least the semblanoe Of an effort tc
enforce the dispenssry law in Charleston
The Governor may command the goodwill
and respect Of nine-tenths OF the people o.
the State, II he makes q show Of authority In
enforcing the law. but If he turns the metro
politan city OF the State over to the lawlesi
element Of the city, the people will rine
something into the ears Of the Governor
hich he will not like to hear. This news
paper yields nothing to anybody in earnest
ness of support of the Governor, and We
would suggest that he at least make decent
effort to enforce the law. Any lack Of back
bone to tight the blind tigers will prove q
losing game.

McLaurin's Spartanburg Speech.

McLaurin's spartanburg Speech.
The Fourth of July speech OF Senator Mo
Lsurin at Spartanburg has been nicely spok.
en- OF by all the newspapers whose comment
we have noticed, with a single exception.
Fools and dead men should not read tha,
speech. The strong array of facts, its well
rounded sentences, and Its patriotic eloquence
was not intended for dead men or fools. That
class OF people should skip that part OF this
weeks Press and Banner.
That class Of men who do not desire to lei
In little light upon their minds should moi
read this address.
That part Of the people who are incapable
of allowing little reason to filter through
their little brains need not bother about Nc
Lsurin's speech, and we would suggest that
none OF cur subscribers lend their copies of the
Press and Banner to any OF the above classes
We publish the speech purely and solely for
the benefit OF the subscribers OF this paper
who are always anxious to be In formed on all
current topics.
Senator McLaurIn directs his argument O,
facts to the mind of the people, like subscrib
ers to the Press and Banner, who are ready te
hear the truth.

Are Charleston's Illicit Liquor Deal
ers Able to Defy the State?

1t Is doubtfulif the State board could inst1:
tute q system of enforcement which would
prove effective in Charleston against the de-.
OF the So 70 vba6
matter will be brought by the boards atten-
ton Is likely to arouse sentiment In this
community, If properly considered, winch
will bring about much neeGed reform IN the
conditions now prevailing.-Charleston Post.
The way to enforce the dispensary law is 10
enforce it. Send the necessary conslables and
shut up the places where liquor is unlswfully
gold. That Ia the rule which the United
States government applies to the Illicit dis
tilleries. Illicit sellers deserve about the
same consideration that is accorded TO Illicit
distllers.
Charleston has had fair opportunity to
enforce the law, and that city has refused to
obey the law. The only recourse now seems
to use the power OF the State 10 make the
aw.breakers Of Charleston respect the law.
The Press and Banner would like TO see
Charleston enforce the law. but II that city
refuses to do so, as she has done for years.
then We want to see the necessary force en-
ployed. The State Of South Carolina need
not 60, hat In hand, to inquire of those who
defy the law, how they wish the law enforced.
The right way to do is to treat law-break ers
In Charleston with the same consideration
that is given to other law-breakers in other
parts Of the State.
Without ceremony, apology, Ifs or ans, the
Government of South Carolina should enforce
the law In Charleston. When Charleston
sets herself up to defy the law, she should be
treated as other transgressors are treated.
If Governor McSweeney is half the man
that the people believe bin to be, be will see
to IL that a law-breaker In. Charleston receives
40 more consideration from him than he
gives TO others.
1t Is impertlnent for the city of Charleston
TO say to the State OF South Carolina that care
must be taken in the manner OF treating
those of her citizens who with malice afore-
thought, choose to break the law.
The liquor authorities have dallied long
enough with Illicit liquor dealers In Charles
ton, and If they would deserve the decent re-
spect OF the people of the State, they will at
least make an effort to do their duty, or step
down and out.

rent year has been published. The college

the students and the teachers in instant com
munication with the outside world.
In the class rooms the languages, including

How to Cure Insomnia.

It is now a generally recognized fact
that one Of the most prolific causes OF
insomnia is overeating, that practice re-
sulting usually in q disturbed condi-
ton of the digestive organs If in moth
ing more serious. The remedy In such
cases is obvious enough. Cases are
common where insomnia of a protract.
ed and stubborn nature has yielded to
a period Of fasting. There are few
cases of sleeplessness, in fact in which
a little dieting may not be tried with
good effect. Copious drinking Of cold
water just before retiring Is often
highly efficacious. Deep breathing kept
up as long as possible by will power is
a generally recommended remedy for
occasional sleeplessness, the main aim
being to keep the mind from thinking.

UP TO THE POLICE.
II They Don't Enforce Dispensary Law
Profits VIII GO-The Governor
Makes q Statement About Column.
bIa-Sensatienal Developments


Governor McSweeney today In speaking
about the dispensary situation IN Charleston
and the action OF the state board OF directors,
said that Chairman Williams had called on
him, and that the governor and the board
we're In thorough accord as 10 Wnat was 10 pe
done.
But of more local interest is what the gov.
eruor had to say about Columbia blind tigers.
He said In effect: "If the police force OF the
city does not make an effort 10 stop the Illicit
sale of whiskey, the profits from Columbia
will be taken away and an amount sufhclent
10 employ sufficient copsables to enforce the
law will be used. The remainder Will De
turned over to the county and the city Will
get nothing. .
The governor thinks the police here are not
doing their duty. The Charleston police
make raids constantly, and although II has
been charged that they were fake raids, that
remains 10 be shown. The police In Colum-
bia, however pay no attention to this matter
at all, and unless more activity is displayed
may be that the city will loose all OF its prof.
its
The whole matter will come up again at a
meeting Of the state board Of directors on the
10th inst. It IL said that then some startling
revelations will be made as to Charleston and
the constabulary's dealings With blind tigers.
II is intimated that the constables are openly
paid by blind tigers and that proof will be
produced.
Ia done in Columbia, though very thorougn
Investigation Is to be made all around. But
the board and the governor have the power
to withhold profits, and that fact is particu-
larly interesting just now.

. Ivory may be whitened by washing
well with soap and water and allowing
it to dry in the sun. This process
must be repeated for several days. IT

To Enforce the Law.

The Press and Banner is glad to note that
The State, although opposed to the law, is In
favor of enforcing the dispensary law" in
Charleston and Columbia. If the law Is a
good one. it Will meet public approval. If 1t
is bad law, the way to have 1t repealed is to
enforce 1t.
But regardless Of It's merits. the dispensary
law should be enforced as long az 1t Is On the
statute books. All good citizens should join
In the demand for Its enforcement.
