the most corruption has been at the
| fountain head Of this institution.
Ever since the system has been
adopted there has been whisperiDgs
| and iuundoes that there was corrup-
tion there. Who has not heard of
rebates in connection with the State
board Of control? Here is an article
from Charlotte paper which speaks
for itself. If county dispensers are
thus bribed, what may be done by
whiskey sellers at the fountain head,
and who can tell what has been done
there. When you think Of the scran.
bling before the legislature for com
missioner and members of State board
of control which pays but little, what
other conclusion can you reach thar
that their positions have alluring
perquisites? ] believe there was
more corruption iE the 6rst years,
than now, it was only the favored few
then, now, it is in smaller slices 80
the watermelon will 60 all around.
Rebates are at least accounted for
now, and 60 into the State treasury.
Only God and he who received them
know where they went in 1893 and
1894. 1t is the system not the men,
the present management is about as
good as any they have had, and it is
not fair to attempt to throw all the
blame on them with the coward cry
Of "stop theft The ruse is too old
to work.
Fifth. am opposed to the dispen-
sary law because it now is and has
been huge political machine-a one
man political power, and for the pur.
pose of perpetuating this one man
power. 1t needs no argument to show
that am right: for it is as apparent
ss the monday sun to the people that
this political machine exists. Those
who have watched the politics of this
State for the last ten years, are blind,
indeed, to deny its existence. During
this period no man could aspire to
office with any hope of success with
out at least having the good will of
the head officer of the institution.
During this period no legislation who
seemed inimical to the leaders could
be secured. Why? Because the po-
litical power of the machine has been
exerted upon the legislature in various
and insidious ways. And the reason
that it has been suggested that it be
left to the Legislature to determine
the fate of the dispensary is the hope
that this vast and powerful political
machine may bring its influence TO
bear upon that body and save the in
stitution. l congratulate those who
oppose the disr"nssry upon the happy
omen Of this time. 1t seems that the
people of the State at present are en-
deavoring to free themselves frem
this dominst ag political machine, and
are in ope.. revolt against it. No
wonder the head of the machine
wishes to check the revolt by opposing
counties voting out dispensaries.
With the downfall of the political
machine many Office holders in South
Carolina will be decapitated. There
will be many now high in authority
to "hang their harps on the willow"
and bev all in doleful accents their
fate. 1t is by only breaking down the
dispensary system that this political
machine can be destroyed, and 1 hope
that the sober and thinking people of
the State will rise in their might and
destroy both.
l may be asked after the dispensary
system is destroyed, what then? Ny

PIGEON Pie,

Choose four pigeons, and having
drawn, cleansed and trussed them
nicely, blanch and mince the livers
with one ounce of beef marrow, four
peeled mushrooms, one-half pound of
veal, some picked herbs and a table
spoonful of fine bread crumbs. Sea-
son it with salt, pepper and grated
nutmeg, mixing it all through, and
then put a tablespoonful of the mix
ture in each bird. Line pie-dish
with some of the forcemeat and, after
putting in the birds, arrange tiny
rolls of thinly sliced bacon and slices
of hard-boiled egg between the layers
with small dabs of butter at intervals.
After this is done cover the pie with
a good paste, leaving a hole in the
center. After baking in a moderate
oven, and just before serving, pour
a gill of clear rich gravy into the pie
through this center opening.

Lace Erocks.

Be it black or white, lace dress is
more useful for an afternoon costume
than almost any other sort of gown.
For one thing a deep lace gown will
frequently do service in the evening
for the theater or when staying tenn
porarily at some hotel, besides which
it is the kind of dress which, made up
now, can be worn right through the
year, being equally appropriate at all
seasons.
Now is certainly the best time to
have a lace gown made up, for it will
then be ready for the spring weddings.
luncheons, and bridge" afternoons.
besides which it iss always easier to
get ones costumes bought and fitted
before the great rush commences.

Revival of Flower Turban.

For the flower turban one harks
back to the days when every woman
had a violet turban.
This turban is rather large this sea-
son. 1t is pointed in front and is COW
cred as to the top with violets, while
the sides are matched with leaves.
This violet and green together form a
very pretty combination which can be
made dressier by the addition of a
pink velvet bow, or a series of little
pink velvet bows, arranged around the
crown in such a manner that the little
bows touch the hair.
The gown to wear with the flower
toque is unquestionably a gown of the
same color. A pretty purple, a pansy
colored, or lavender gown goes beau
tifully with a violet trimmed hat. And
one can even essay to wear pink if
one cares to do so.

For Morning Wear.

Parisiennes have not yet tired OF
the short skirt for morning wear, and
now that the smart little bolero coat
is so fashionable it has made the
totteur costumes ever more chic. The
skirts should be very full, and great
attention should be given to the j,tpou

match in same detail. For example e

Useful Hints.

You can make of odds and ends of
accordion-pleated gauze or chiffon
pretty o'clock tea jackets, and here
fashion is most elastic. You can
wear the tea jacket short or long, as
your fabric allows. A fichu-like collar
or a V-shaped vest of lace at the neck
is a charming finish, and the sleeves
can be picturesque, long and hang
ing, or short and puffed to the elbow.
One of the prettiest jackets was
made out of a length of pale blue
zenana. There was not sufficient ma
terial for a full sleeve, so it was
tight to the elbow, cut in scallops,
finished with some accordiOn-plaited
blue chiffon edged with a remnant of
Valienciennes lace The collar was
made of white muslin, with insertion
and edgings of Valenciennes, fasten-
ing to one side, with a big chou of
palest pink and blue chiffon.

Ferns in Pots.

Many persons have given up grow
ing ferns in lots on account of poor
success with them. They get fine
plants from the florist and in few
months they go to pieces. There are
but a few things to know in order to
keep ferns in good condition.. and
have them increase in beauty from
year to year, says an authority. They
must be grown in a moist atmosphere.
If kept in hot, dry room they will do
no good. For this reason they do
poorly in rooms heated by steam or
hot water, unless provision is made
for adding moisture to the air. A
room heated by a hot-air heater which
has an evaporating pan is the best for
ferns. Also the soil must be kept
moist at all times. yet be well drained.
The soil should be made up of peaty
loan, one part. and leaf mold one part.

They work steadily, but do not

if the actual count of years be taken;
as a matter of fact, it is longer than
their ages would warrant. Some of
them might not have had any real,
good boyhood at all. A childhood
batted on one cheek by poverty and
balefully Illuminated on the other with
CLEANS of crime is what sends these
striped slaves of the city to a feeling
of boredom, rather than penitence.
And perhaps it was incorrect to say
that they are far away from child
hood. They are all children yet, with
just a larger amount of ingenuity
and greater muscles with which to
carry out the foolish, haphazard, an
archistic plans of the child.
Before their meals the men are led
out from the workshops to their cells
for rest. AS the long line trails
through the prison yard and up the
light, framey stairways to their cells.
they make a continuous picture
almost romantic enough for an i'm
pressionist, hued as the line is in it's
stripes and convicted visages of duns
and grays. Wherever these men have
been separately all their lives, and
whatever they have been doing, they
seem a fine collection now. They
so-called criminal type is there. Any
body could pick it out. Eyes and
nose, mouth and chin, cheekbones
from the slums, jaws from strange re-
gions of Europe, brows from poverty,
lips from lack of purpose, expressions
that could De lit up with anything
from a cigarette to a proposal to
divide the booty-the same express
sions that can be seen a thousand
fold in the streets, in stores, in the
cars or theater, except that in these
other places there may be visible on
them more expense and care. Here
the fraternity of them is selected by
juries of twelve men, the gang is
picked out for the Jail with special
reference to their criminality, based
on acts done. So the effect is strong
er than in the streets. All useless
establishment is torn of. The black
and gray stripes give a psychologist
uniformity to their appearances; give
them the look of having the same
stripe to their souls and intentions |;
which may be true in some particu-
lars, as first, for instance, to get
away.
Some of them have been shaved
