The argument of many dispen'

Il prohibitionist at heart but ! am
going to vote for the dispegsary be-
cause prohibition won't prohibit and
the dispcnsary don't either, and if
we had prohibition there would be
blind tigers, which | know We have
now, and admit there is corruption
in The management Of the dispen-
sarr, but some day the Legislature
will fix 1t 50 that it will be better
than it is now and, If we have pro
hibltion it won't prohibit and then,
you know. We get lot Of money
from the dispensary that We wouldn't
get if it were done away with" Yet
they accuse some who intend to vote
against the dispcpsary of hypocrisy.

1t appears that an erroneous I'M
preston has gone forth as to the ac-
ton of the county Cotton Growers
association at its meeting here Sat
urday. Those who attended this
meeting were enthusiastic in their
endorsement of the work of the
Southern Cotton ASSOCIATION and IN
adopting the resolution making ten
cents the minimum price for cotton
it was far from their purpose to dis.
regard the recommendation of the
association. AS the matter was ex-
planned to them it was left largely
to their discretion us TO what limit
they should make and the sole rea-
son why the motion prevailed for
ten instead of eleven cents Vas that
in view of the fact that there are no
warehouses in the county for stor-
ing cotton it was thought that a
much larger proportion of the farm
ers could afford to hold out for ten
cents than for eleven. The matter
was discussed fully and the motion
carried by vote of more than two
to one.

closely associated with evil spirits if
not with good ghosts.
The fact that the GiSpensary sales
are increasing from Il half million
to million dollars Il year is pretty
good evidence that the system does
not restrict the sale of liquor, your
opinion to the contrary notwIth-
standing,
You asse most dogmatlc-
ally that prohibition wonld be a
failure. The dispensary has had
long enough time to work out Its
destiny. 1t is no longer an infant
industry. Ihc difference between
the two is that vou think that pro
hibitlon would not prohibit, while
YOU dare no: deny that the dlSpeN
sary is catacombed with fraud, graft
and robbery, so that its own "dad-
dy" has charged the State board
with being set of thieves.
Now You come to the money fea-
ture. That's business. The rest
is merely u sort of introduction.
Your real argument is from the
standpoint of revenue. DO you
know how much the public schools
in Williamsburg set from the dis
pensary: Seventy-four cents per
pupil. The people YOU are so eX-
ercised about receive something like
eighteen cents per capita. Taxes
are higher than before the dispen-

where is the real benefit from
monetary standpoint:

"Out of the Frying>Pan. "

IlOI4, nav ALS >, wv SN'PPS
eaten all the prohlbitiouists in Flor
ence county, sighs for new worlds to
conquer. In quest of adventure and
to uphold the red banner of rum,
he mounts his Rosinante and, armed
cap-a.pie with sword and blunder-
buss, sallies forth into Williamsburg
to stab and shoot the poor, defence
less editor of The RECORD.
Far from the terrific onslaught
we anticipated, however, his attack
is puerile and pitifully weak. Is his
trusty blade so rusted with the gore
of his victims as to disqualify it for
cambat? Has his deadly blunder-
buss been overcharged with blum
ders and busted? We fear our good
knight wore himself out vanquish-
ing his foemen at home.
From Mr. Clayton's rambling and
incoherent argument and his misuse
of Scripture, We gather that he
deems a druukard not worth trying
to save by repoving liquor from un-
der his nose. How can prayers and
exhortations avail when there is a
te-licensed grog-shop convenient
" near and the devil to tempt him
by whispering in his ear the same
argument that you, Mr. Clayton,
use: "Drink on! You re patriotic
citizen. You buy your liquor and
the profits go to educate your chill
dren." Aud the poor, fatuous fool
d m ons strat es his patriotism
and fatherly love by drinking
on until his children are without de-
cent clothing to attend the rum-en-
dowed institutions of learning.
No, Mr. Clayton, whether you be-
lleve it or not, all of these men
wo aid not send to North Carolina
for liquor if the dispensalies were
closed. And even if but one indi-
vidual in a county were rescued
from the clutches of whiskey it
would be worth the price, for what
on earth can be compared in value
10 human soul!
But the drunkard is an extreme
type. How about the young man
who takes an occasional dram: He
can easily stop now, but will he do
so with a dispensary lnvitingly open
every time he goes down town: Then
the sehool-boy, who is naturally I'M
itative, seeing men going IN and out
of the dispensary day By day-soon-
er or later he will slip around and
get'a half-pint of whiskey or Il bot.
tie of wine just to see what it is
like.
So you think Williamsburg peo-
pie need bibles and missionaries-in
other words, We, along with the rest
of the State, are in the same cate
CORY with the desperadOeS of Breath
iu county, y,Kentucky, and the moon
shine districts of North Carolina.
If that be true We are indeed in
bad shape and the preachers, being
a part of us, are heather too, so who
is to reform us: Perhaps you, who
are 50 glib in quoting Scripture,
might turayour talent to better ad-
vantage than boosting the disper-
sary and trying to fasten on us for
ever an institution whose influence
is degrading. If you had better
cause We believe you could make IL
better argument and possibly be-
come the lever of Arehimedes to lift
up us poor fallen humanity in Will
