A Horror In Montana.

Livingston, Mon, September T.
Miss Fannie A. Weeks, aged slightly
over fifty, of Washington, d. c., is
dead in this city from the effects of
falling into boiling spring in the
Yellowstone National Park several
days ago. In company with other
Eastern tourists, Miss Weeks was
making tour of the park, and while
viewing geyser, STEP ed backward
in an effort to dodge the binding
spray of the spouter, and fell into
hot spring in which the water was
fairly bubbling. Her body was lite
rolly cooked from the waist down,
and death ensued after period of
intense agony. Miss Weeks was a
native Of Gainesville, Fla, where she
has relatives. At one time Miss
Weeks was stenographer to former
Senator Call, of Florida, but at the
time of her death held clerkship in
the treasury department.

"Tigers" Scarce In Cherokee.

"Blind tigers" are scarce in Chero-
kee county, and we heartily COM
mend the county and city officials
for their splendid work in catching
and Furnishing them in the city and
county. They are doing their duty
conscientiously and manfully. And
now to aid them in their good work
in the future, we suggest to the
county and city authorities that they
pay half the fine on "blind tigers" to
the one who furnishes the officers
with evidence that causes the con-
viction, and when the culprit fails to
pay the fine and takes the alterna-
tive of days on the chaingang, that
they pay the informer ten dollars
flat for each conviction.-Cherokee

ment. Mr.. Ansel has done we'll to
cut loose from it, and it is singular
that others who have sincere faith in

OF course, the value of State
dispensary to one desirous of using
1t as an accessory to State political
machine is obvious.-News and

Ansei karrows the Options.

Martin +. Ansel, who many
months ago confessed himself a can
didate for Governor in 1905, appears
to favor the present laws relating to
the whiskey traffic in this State, ex-
cept that he would substitute inde-
pendent county dispensaries for the
State dispensary, which he would
disestsblish. He would suggest
other and minor notifications. He
would give to South Carolina similar
liquor laws to those of Georgia and
North Carolina, except that he would
deny local option to those counties
to which neither prohibition nor dis
pensaries are acceptable.
The people of Abbevile are said
to strongly believe in the efficacy of
the dispensary system. The people
of Greenwood county, adjoining, are
devoted to prohibition. 1t is the
popular belief that both Greenwood
and Abbeville are opposed to high
license for themselves and for other
counties. Mr.. Ansel consents for
both Abbeville and Greenwood to
exercise their preferences. He ex-
cludes from exercising them Charles
ton and Richland.
This seems to assume that county
option is a right principle, provided
it be narrowed 80 that all other
methods of dealing with the whiskey
traffic be outlawed. 1t is we'll known
that nearly all the counties are
against high license. Mr.. Ansel
wishes to perpetuate the only right
of choice they desire to the great
majority of the counties, and he
virtually commits himself to support
ing coalition between the dispen-
sary and prohibition counties to
force their views by main strength
of numbers upon the small minority
of counties to which both methods
are distasteful.
If the plan of independent county
action has any sound basis it is that
the people of the several counties
are the best judges of their peculiar
and particular needs in relation to
the whiskey traffic. This is the
foundation of what is known as local
option, and it is this that Mr.. Ansel
virtually repudiates. Prohibition
and the dispensary ideas are vio-
lently antagonistic. 1t is difficult to
conceive the reasoning by which one
advocates choice between the two
to the exclusion of all others except
upon the theory that it is popular,
and yet we are unwilling to believe
that Mr.. Ansels candidacy for Gov
ernor shall be channeled by such
considerations. What is popular to-
day may come to be despised before
the campaign of 1906 opens.
Mr.. Anse's advocacy of destroy
ing the State dispensary feature of
the system is entirely to be COM
mended. The existence of whole
sale house to sell liquors to the sub
dispensaries is in no way essential to
the regnlative and restrictive func-
tions of the law. Whatever is good
in the law is found in such inhibi-

sn.arls. in Union CLOSED.

Union, >. o., September 6.-The
dispensaries of Union county were
again closed about 4 O'Clock this
afternoon as the result of notice
served by the prohibitionists' attor-
neys, after having remaiaed open for
about five hours to-day in disregard
of Judge Townsend's order and the
first notice to close served by the
county board of control this morn
ing. The notice brought about the
result few moments after it was
served by deputy sheriff about 4
O'Clock.
Late yesterday afternoon the
deputy sheriff served on the county
board of control and dispensaries
Judge Townsend's order that dis
pensaries should close, and when the
regular opening time came this morn
ing it was found that the whiskey
dispensary's door was draped with
crepe, evidently emblematic of it's
end and the gloom the dispensary
has brought into many households.
On the dool was also pair of white
gloves, presumably for the pallbear-
ers, bottle of liquid refreshment
being in one glove.
To many it seemed that this would
end the dispensary fight and this
was certainly hoped for, but about
1880 O'Clock this morning Dispenser
Howell and Beer Dispenser May
opened their establishments, and
shortly Beer Dispenser Askew did
the same, though it is stated that
they allowed no purchases to be
made.
w. Boyd Evans and Lawson ID.
Melton arrived here to-day and i'm
mediately went into consultation
with Wallace & Barron and J. Cor
don Hughes, local counsel. 1t is re-
ported that they appeared before
Judge Townsend to-day and prayed
for an order to reopen the dispen-
saries pending the decision of the
Supreme Court, to which notice of
appeal has been made, but if the re-
port is true it is certain that the
order was refused.
Columbia, September Wv.
Boyd Evans has returned from
Union, where he went yesterday to
serve formal notice of appeal in the
dispensary case there, Judge Town
send having decided against him.
According to Mr.. Evans, very
peculiar case exists in that county.
The dispensers are all keeping their
establishments open, but no whiskey
is sold because of the fear of indict-
ment for violation of the dispensary
law. The dispensaries are kept open
more for APPOINT of law than any
thing else.
III mas Oeen suggested that some
of the prohibitionists will at once
enjoin the county board of control
from paying these dispensers sal
aries through the county treasurer.
If this is done it will result in further
complications that will not be settled
for some time.
The State board of canvassers
meets tomorrow to pass officially
upon the result of the Newberry
election. A copy of the vote as de-
clared by the county managers of
election for that county has been re-
ceived and is as follows: Total vote
cast 1921 against dispensary, 845 I;
for dispensary, 376.

Till the deaf worlds ear be made to hear
The wrongs of the wordless weak"
We read in The Courier last week
that 225 additional signatures were
needed on the petitions in order to
have an election on the dispensary
question. Shall this glorious effort be
stifled now? Are operations to be
suspended Certainly not! We
should be the more determined to SO.
cure an election. Surely three fourths
of my fellow-citizens are brave
enough, enthusiastic enough in the
cause of justice, and godly enough
to come forward and place their
names on the petitions. Don't wait
to be insisted upon! Up-and hunt
the man with the petition.
This awful, damning, debauching
whiskey business Has my State
gone so far from right that she is
forcing her citizens into business
that is writing shame and corruption
above the doors of all her institu-
tions-especially boards of control
Will majority of my own dear
countrymen continue to slumber,
while Gods faithful few are making
such efforts to rid Oconee of this
curse9 Can the Christians, the
church members (there is a distinc-
tion), or even the "moralists" stand
with folded hands and behold the
depredations of the dispensary? The
evils of irtemperance have been
portrayed in these columns time and
again.
This enraged sentiment against the
dispensary system, which has de.
veloped such proportions in South
Carolina, has principle back of it
worthy of SUCCESS principle which
has boon watered by the tears
"Wrung from the eyelids by the shame
of dispensary officials. Can we
doubt that God is in the movements
In every county where an election
has been held the dispensaries have
been voted out by no small majority.
This is gratifying and encouraging
to all Christian people, for all such
are more or less identified with tenn
perance work. The same can, and /
believe will, be done in Oconee
county.
A man can be tolerated POLITICALLY
at leasD who conscientiously votes
for the dispensary, although he is
woefully mistaken in his principles,
but have no use whatever for the
sneaking, unfair, uncbaste, unworthy
citizen who, after large majority of
voters have at the polls declared
themselves to be opposed to the dis.
pensary, will resort to legal techni-
calities, political prejudice or official
tyranny to thwart the action of con-
secrated men in trying to inaugurate
a reform.
There is no failure for consecrated,
praying people, of whom the untir-
ing leader of the prohibition move.
ment in Oconee, Rev. g. Wardlaw,
of Seneca, is fair specimen. The
right cannot be trampled under foot
always. We will be content with
nothing short of an election on "dis-
pensary" or ono dispensary," and we
will pray that it will result "NO
DISPENSARY."
