TAXPAYER" REPLIES TO 'CITIzEN.
And Incidentally Touches Upon the
Article of Mr. " F Clayton.

in your issue of August ), be-
cause he gave US so many facts.
He says. ."The gospel of right
eousnesS is the only means that
will save him (man) from his
sins. "Prohibition is not a prac-
tical actuality except when it is
sanctioned by the awakened
conscience of the individual
himself" Now these facts are
clear. and if "Cltizen' would
spend as much time in awaken
ing our conSciences on the evils
of strong drink As he gives to
advocating the dispensary, bet
ter results would follow. While
he is 50 busy with the protection
of the dispensary he can't find
time to put into effect the COM
mand Luke xv:l6, SO We into
all the world and preach the
gospel to every creature"
His last fact urged upon US is
a little vague. Thus it goes
eff it is true that two equal op-
posing forces produce neutral
effect, then it logically follows
that the use of the dispensary
profit in the cause of education
will result IN an educated Senti-
timent against the evils OF in
temperance, sentiment which
will eventually crush the dis
pensary out of existence, and
which the institution itself had
been indirectly instrumental in
propagating. There certainly
cannot be any valid objection
to the dispensary placing cud-
gel in the hands of its enemies
to break its own head if we
would destroy it,"
:, We see the effect is perfectly
neutral. Plain enough philoso-
ply! "Citizen's deduction is the
vague part of it. Might as we'll
talk about casting out devils by
Beelzebub, the prince of devils.
| The fact as we see it is: the
effect will be so neutral that
even though the cudgel be put
in the children's hands they will
not have the strength nor re-
solve TO break the head of the
drink monster.
Mr. Clayton is liberal in his
legal advice to US poor old clod-
hoppers of farmers in Williams
burg county, in the issue of
August 18th.
Yes, sir, We do find it difficult
to dig and sweat earning a liv-
ing for three-sourths of the hu-
man race who sit down and wait
for us to make it for them. But
since the Lord created bees to
make honey and flies to eat l.,
we will keep on at our task.
And since We have to depend on
the negro to help us grub, we
find it more economical to have
clear Drained, unintoXicated Ia
bormen and pay 45 per cent
more taxes than employ drunk
en-, thieyish, profane nappy-
heads, who can do more harm
in day than their labor will
amount to in a month. In other
words their direct injury to our
progress will affect US more
harmfully than their indirect
contribution to the taxes through
the diSpensary will offset. We
are more willing to make a clean
dollar and give half of it for..the
public good than be entirely ex-
empted from taxes and make
less than half we would with the
right sort Of labor. And it is
the earnest belief of this tax
payer that Mr. Clayton will have
plenty of miscreants to furnish
Ibis income, without sowing any
more seed to the already thrifty
crops of crime.

question and tell him more
iabo;t th4 evils of whiskey sell
ing in any form. Now, Mr. Cor
don was mistaken in his first ar
ticle, but he is worse mistaken
in his second. From the tone
of his letter he wants to class
me as being d "Straight-out. "
That is a mistake. / have al

out of the xhiskey business; as
it now stands every loyal citi-
zen of South Carolina is 1 whis-
key seller.
Let us look ut the WhiSkey
seller that We may know what
manner of man he is, and then
ask if he deserves the pity or
sympathy or respect of society
or any part of it. Viewed con-
siderately in the light OF their
respective motives the drunkard
is al innocent and honorable
man in comparison with the
whiskey seller. The one yields
under the impulse--it may be
the torture, of appetite; the
other is a cool, mercenary spec
tator, thriving off the vice and
frailties of his neighbor. He is
a man selling for gain what he
knows to be worthless and per
nicious, & ,od for none, danger
Gus to all, and deadly to many.
He has looked in the face of the
sure consequences OF his course.
and if he can but make gain of
it. is prepared to corrupt the
souls, imbitter the lives and
blast the prosperity of an in,
definite number of his fellow
creatures. By the selling of
his poisons he sees that with
terrible certainty, along with
the havoc of health, lives, homes
and souls Of men, he can sue
ceed IN setting afoat a certain
vast amount of property, and
that as,it is thrown to the winds,
some small share of it will float
within his grasp. He knows
| that if men remain yirtuous and
thrifty, if these homes around
him continue peaceful and pros
porous, his craft cannot pros
per. The infrm old mother, the
wives and the sisters are found
where whiskey is sold: orphan
children throng from hut and
hovel and lift their childish
hands in supplication, asking at
the hands of the guilty whiskey
isellers for those who rocked
their cradles and fed and loved
them
The murderer, now sober and
crushed, lifts his manac e d
Hands red with blood and charg-
