SENATOR TILLMAN'S SOLUTION
OF THE LIQUOR PROBLEM.

OF IdE LlltIOOh fhODAc".
In his interesting defence of the
South Carolina dispensary system,
Senator Tillman thus sums up the
case in Frank Leslie's Popular Mon
.thly for January as follows:
What is there about this method
of selling liquor which makes it su-
, perior prohibition or to the license
systems
First: Liquor is the only article
of commerce in general use that is
consumed at the time and place Of
it's purchase. It is safe to say that
three fourths of it is thus disposed of.
The dispensary law enforces diff
erent method by requiring the pur-
chaser to take it away as he would
apackage Of shoes or a sack OF t1om.
He must go somewhere else than
to the place where he buys it to con-
sumo it.
Second: The element of personal
profit which lies at the root OF the
saloon evil is destroyed. The Dis
pensers receive fixed salaries proper
tionate to the amount of work they
do.-They don't get a commission
on sales and have no incentive to
push them.
i Third: ''rreating" is destroyed,
! and this does .aore for sobriety than
! possibly any other feature of the
& system. The man who has bought
/ a bottle at the dispensary may treat
alone or half dozen of his friends,
one drink and that will be all. The
; inducement and obligation to recip-
/. rocate which are so well understood
do not exist.
T. Fourth: At sun down dispens-
airy closes. 1t opens at eight o'clock
. in the morning. The legitimate de-
mand for whiskey is supplied during
J daylight, and the Dispenser having
/ closed up lis place Of, business, has
mo incentive to reopen to make sale.
Under no form of license is this pos
.sible. ri Besides it is a misdemeanor
Is 8, make sales ii ia anyway or at any
time lin except as the law provides: "

WHAT MEN THINK OF THE
BIBLE,

While men are testing the Bible,
the Bible tests them.
While they are critcising the
Book, the Book is condemning
them. While they search for it's
flaws, the Book discovers their SINS
Tho man who claims that the Bible
is a fraud, or more likely to be a
fraud himself. The man who thinks
the Bible was concocted by deceivers
and imposters, may be judging its
authors out of it's own heart. IN
godly men hate Gods Word. Men
whose deeds are evil love darkness
rather than light. Men who love lies
and spend their days and nights in
reading them, have in them some
subtle affinity for falsehood, which
naturally breeds dislike and hatred
for the truth.
'Tell me-" says Ryle. ''what the
D1Dlo 1o W d u1dA taAu WILL SOuoI-
ally tell what he is. This is the
pulse to try this is the barometer
to look at, if we would know the
state of the heart. I have no notion
of the Spirit dwelling in man, and
not giving clear evidence Of His
presence. And I believe it to be a
signal eviden.e of the Spirits pres
ence when the Word is really preci-
GUS to a man g soul. When there is
no appetite for the truths of Scrip
trre, the soul cannot be in a state of
health. There is some serious dis
ease. Reader, what is the Bible to

Tho statement by Representative

The lecture on wireless telegraphy
Tuesday night at Masonic Hall, was
we'll attended. The demonstrations
and explanations of the science did
not fully satisfy all. The subject
is a difficult one to illustrate clearly
to all, as those not familiar in some
way, either practical or by reading,
cannot fully appreciate or even get
much<beneft from lecture of this
character. Electricity is mysteri-
ous to the uniformed. Some of
the instruments are the same as the
ordinary telegraph instruments with
others to operate them with. The
lecturer had his piece well learned,
was a very rapid speaker and the
language he used, clearly demon
strated that he was q student of all
the sciences end languages.

that it is the result of corner; but
it is probable that the principal
cause is the sharp advance in the
price of feed, which in turn resulted
in the false economy of killing the
egg producers. Naturally there is
a decrease in the egg supply every
winter, but this season the shortage
is closely allied to a famine. The
