pztuLIARTiEs OF DywAla'IE (
Most Dangerous When Frozen, El,
Many Oid Trick, Can be D,nc
With it.

There are at least three truckmcn
or teamsters, in Chicago wno are
called "dynamtcrs." They have
never blown up anything or anybody
and PROBABLY never will. They are
too careful. They have been trained
10 handle the most terrible of man
agcablc explosives and they are past
masters Of caution.
They re not a particle afraid, how
ever. They are simply prudent and
know their business, and they con
slider it safe enough to handle thous-
ands Of pounds of dynamite 20 long
as you don't monkey with it. These
three draymen don't put in all their
time and effort handling dynamite
but they haul nearly all that is cartcd
inside the city limits. They are Sc
lect'.d solely for the reason that they
know the proper way to attend the
more or less dangerous load.
At freight station, and at some
stores dynamite is handled with n
gay abandon that would make a timd
person spccchlcss with terror. That
Is because the freight handlers and
the shipping clerks have become too
familiar with an item Of freight that
they don't understand we'll There
are miners and farmers who think they
know all about dynamite after they
have blown up an acre of stumps or
shot few blasts in the tunnel. These
arc the men who wind up their earth
ly careers by thawing out sticks Of
dynamite in the kitchen oven or by
leaving them around the barn for the
children to play house with.
At the powder mills in which dyna-
mite is manufactured the easiest way
for an emp'oyc to lose his place is
to show sign Of careless lcvity in
going about the place, handling the
stock or disobeying the strict rules
for the treatment Of the explosives.
The thoughtful, sober, cautious man
who truly knows all about dynamite
is the one in hundred who never
fools with it; who never departs from
the scientific instructions set down in
its regard, and who, in consequence,
never starts any trouble.
The manufacturers themselves, and
they know about all there is to be
known about dynamite, are most
eager and solicitous that every one
who uses or comes in contact with the
explosive in any size or strength of
cartridge or package should treat it
with respectful care. After years of
experience they have decided that
lightning and gunshot arc the two
energies that should be be kept most
remote from dynamite. Cutting and
thawing frozen dynamite arc the next
most potent causes Of danger; fire
is the next and impact is the least.
Under no circumstances will manu-
facturers or informed dealers of dyna-
mite permit the Illuminating mercury
caps necessary for the discharge of
the heavy explosive to be kept in the
same house, hauled in the same wag-
on or shipped in the same train with
dynamite. The Illuminating cap is in
fnitely more susceptible of premature
detonation than is the more dreaded
dynamite, and the proximity of
detonating Illuminating cartridge is
more likely to bring on a more dis

iorkville, November li.-FolIow
ing interview with Senator j. S. Brice
on the subject Of the recent overwhclm
ing majority in favor of banishinr the
state rum mills from Cherokee County
appears in the Enquirer of to-day:
senator Bricc is very much pleased
with the result Of the dispensary cleo
ton in Cherokee County; but is really
little surprised at the overwhelming
majority that was rolled up against
the dispcnsary.
When the enemies of the Bfice bill
proposed their half mill tax -en coun-
ties that should vote against dispen-
irlcs the Senator denounced the pro-
position as an eilort to penalizo moral
lty, but since the Cherokee people
have said that they will have morality
regardless Of cost, Mr.. Brice is de-
lighted with their choice.
Speaking Of the dispcusary situa,
tion III the presence OF the reporter
yesterday, tlr. Brice said
III am opposed to the sale of liouor
under any circumstances. That is.
am not willing to endorse the traffic.
| believe it is wrong, and as an indi
vldual | would not feel warranted in
giving 1t my approval There are
those, however, who think otherwise.
and while cannot bring myself to
agree with them, can concedc that
they have right to their views-as
much right to their views as I have TO
mine.
II become convinced that this dis
pensary business especially the cen
tral institution in Columbia ais rotten.
As see it the people of South Caro-
lima are not responsible for the insti-
tuition of the dispensary. They were
never consulted about it and they
have never been allowed to say wheth-
er or not it has their approval. For
the continuance of the dispensary
however, they are responsible, and I
want them to have an opportunity to
say whether or not they are willing
to bear that responsibility.
1T was for this reason that intro
duced what is known as the Brice bill.
The intention of this bill was to give
the voters Of the State free and full
opportunity to say what disposition
tAcy would make of the ispen saries.
Those who feared the ultimate result
scared the adopting Of the tax pro-
vision, very much against my will;
hut it begins to look as if the people
are anxious to abolish the dispensary
abomination in spite Of the tax.
AS to what the next General AS
sembly will do about the matter l, of
course, cannot say, but so far as l am
concerned have no hesitation in say
ing that am in favor Of abolishing
thr Central establishment forthwith
an: leaving tito the voters of each
county to say whether they will have
prohibition or dispensaries under indi-
vidual or county management. AS to
what is best to be done with the re.
venues derived from the sale of liquor
l have not fully made up my mind,
out | an quite free to say that 1 am
opposed to using them in any manner
calculated to fortify the LIQUOR busi-
ness or encourage its further develop
ment.
1t is said that only thirteen votes
were cast in favor of retaining the
dispensary at the three precincts in
Cherokee Township in which Blacks
burg is located. Al Antioch precinct.
in that township, forty votes were
polled and all were against the dispen.
