N%AUSEATING BUT II u
Dispensary Corrupt Enough to Die OF
Blood Poison.

South Cardinals Legislature is in
session, and has on hand the usual in
v~estigation of the management of the
dispensary system. People there have
lived in an atmosphere of scandal ever
since the dlspensary law was enacted,
twelve years ago, and IL becomes worse
steadily. 1t always must be so when q
government undertakes to engage in q
business and to create ard maintain a
monopoly. The conditions illustrate
clearly the wisdom of the traditional
Democratic position against Govern
ment interference or participation in
business affairs
The ramifications Of the dispensary
are many and in various cases myster-
ious. The purchase Of the many kinds
OF liquors, the manufacture and sale of
the glassware used N the business,
the placing of the general and local
deposits in the banks, the appoint
ments to the various positions required
by the system, even the buying of the
corks are all temptations. How many
people yield to them; how many other
wise god men have been debauched
and corrupted by the infinite chances
for rake-cffs, rebates, commissions
and what not, nobody knows aud pro-
baby ever will know. 1t seems to be a
fact that the corce,n carries o conta-
gion through the State and into every
department of business and life.
With ali tfls, the profits from the
business do not seem to have helped
the State materially, for we learn from
the Governors message that South
Carolina Is heavily in debt and that
the Legislature has the habit of MAX
ing Insufficient snd inadequate appro-
priations.- Richmond Tjmes-Ledger.

An important and Righteous Decision.

In a case from New York, the
Supreme Court of the United
States yesterday handed down a
decision holding that a law limit
ing the hours of labor is u%nconsti-
tutional. This is as it should be,
for every man should have the
privilege of working as many
a day as he pleases, just he should
be allowed to eat as many meals a
day as he wishes. This decislon,
it would seem, knocks the bottom
out of the plan of certain New
England manufacturers for a nat
ional law limiting hours of labor

About Reyiying the Whipping Post.

And now comes Pennsylvania
aYl wants the whipping post re-
vlyed. especially to punish wife
beaters. 1t seems that it is I'M
possible to punish a wife beater
under the present law. That is
to say the women come up before
the magistrate, bleeding and black
and blue. They swear out warrants
against the brutes who call them
selves their husbands and the Of
fcers either jail them to await tri-
al or they are let out on bond.
Anyway, the time between the
beating and the trial is too long,
the wife relents and it is only once
In a very great while that one will
appear before the jury to convict
her darling.
Those advocating the whipping
post saw that the punishment
could be given while the woman
was IN the mood, and this nat
uralty would cause men to stop
their brutal customs of pummeling
their wives as a pastlme.
There is no doubt that a public
whipping post would be a good
thing in this age and time. There
would not be many wh1pped-be-
cause the knowledge that they
would be publicly whipped would
cause hundreds of men to think
twice or even three times before
they made themselves liable.
We doubt very much whether a
whipping post would have much
terror for the negro or the drunk
ard--but it would be a proposition
that a wifebeater would be afraid
Of, We would like to see a law in
every state providing that when a
man whipped his wife that he
should be publicly hogged-giving
him double the number of lashes
that he gave her. It would be a
sorry man who would walk up to
the public whipping post before a
crowd of curious rubber-neckers
and take the lash because he had
whipped his wife. If the idea is
to break up lawlessness-that kind
Of brutality and lawlessness would
be materially decreased if the
whipping post were again to come
in vogue-and we would like 10
see it-Fairbrother's Everything.

Building and Loan Associations are organ
lied to enable people to accumulate money
little by little. A book issued by the u. S.
government as a result of it's inquiries, show
that there are about fifty plans on which as
soclations are run in this country. The AS
sociations are limited in North Carolina to
practically one plan because they are limited
by law to straight six per cent. interest and
are not allowed to charge any premium. The
profits are bound to be smaller than in those
states where higher interest or premiums or
both are allowed. But the safety of the invest
1nent is increased. No Association which is
conducted according to law in North Carolina
can fail: The state now has provided for an
official inspection of Associations to see that
they are conducted according TO law. An
association has a published constitution and by
laws, but the rules are expressed in technical
languages and are hard to understand. A
simple explanation is therefore been set forth.
On the first Saturday of March and Septem-
Der in each year a new series is opened. Any
person can take as many shares as he desires
by paying an entrance fee of IS cents on each
share. He also is to pay % cents on each share
every Saturday. If he prefers it he can
make his payment monthly instead of weekly.
The entrance fee is consumed in the expenses
of the Association. When his payments to-
gether with the profits amount to 800 per
share he is paid back the entire amount in
one sum. In our Association of late when the
stock is six years and ten months old it has
matured and is paid back. When a series is
opened it is kept open until the next one
starts so that a. person can take shares at any
time by paying back to the beginning of the
series. For example on today the oath of Decenl-
Der 1 could get a share by paying 25 cents en-
trance fee and S4.25 for the II Saturdays
which have elapsed since the beginning of
September when Series SO began. Or l could
wait until the first Saturday in March and get

collected out of the Association.
When one wants to withdraw his stock he
gives notice at the office. We require thirty
days notice, andif there are many who give
notice then they have to be paid in turn as the
money comes in. But it is usual to pay small
amounts, say under 800, at once, or within a
week. Withdrawals are very rare now. 1t the
stock is less than 2 years old the person with
drawing gets what he has paid in. If it is over
two years and under three he gets also 1915 OF
the profits that have accumulated, and Tor
each succeeding year so more of the profits,
