HOW PROHIBITION WAS KILLED.
True Statement Of the Buncoins Of
the People.

Senator Tillman's memory when he
remarks. Then men are Indifferent, as
they were In the Prohibition election
In 1892, when only 10000 out OF sz.-
900 voters voted in that box Is great
ly at fault. The number OF votes cast
for candidates for office In the prima-
ry of 1892 was 88,474, nearly 1000
less than the figures which the sena-
tor has given. On the other hand, IN
the Prohibition box 70,636 votes were
cast, and of these 40.23s votes were
for Prohibition, and 30,197 against II.
At that time there were thirty-five-
counties in the state, twenty-seyefl OF
which gave an aggregate majority OF
1896 votes for Prohibition, while
eight counties gave an aggregate OF
5,797 against II. The net majority Tor
Prohibition In the state was Will.
Senator Tillman's figures would make
Il appear that the vote on the temper
ance question fell $4,000 short OF the
vote for Democratic candidates, where
as II actually did fall short less than
$4,000. In other words the senator
|blundered to the extent Of about l4,-
900 votes. te
The opponents Of Prohibition have
persistently repeated the story that the
people generally took little interest In
the temperance vote in 1892, and the
gentlemen I'm the general assembly
who violated the contracts with the
Prohibition majorities Of their coun-
ties by voting for the whisky trafficias
an amendment to the Childs bill have
labored to silence their own con-
sciences as well as the protestations OF
their constituents by encouraging the
impression that this vote was small.
The truth Is, the vote on the temper
ance question In the 1892 primary was
remarkably large. We doubt IL on
any question Of policy not personifed
by a candidate so large a vote has
been cast in the state within q quarter
of a century. II ever. Compare, for ex-
ample, the vote on the amendments
to the constitution submitted to the
people last year, and 1t will be found
that the temperance vote Of 1892 was
The truth Is that the Prohibitionists
In 1892 asking a fair field and no
favor won their fight by q decisive
majority in an election at which
more than seven-ninths Of the white
Democrats as measured by the vote
for governor, participated. A few
months later they were buncoed out
of the fruits of their victory; but
that is another story.-News ana

ing, the state board Of control In
structed that they be sold by the case
at greatly reduced prices. 1t was ex-
pected that there would be a demand
from without the state, so 1t is claim
ed. Instructions are clear to the dis
pensers that the stuff should not be re-
tailed at the reduced prices. 1t has
developed that some Of the dispensers
have been ordering these liquors by
the case at reduced prices and re-
failing them at the marked prices. 1t
also appears that blind tiger deal
ers have become good customers for
the discredited stuff. The board is now
worried for means to put a stop to
the graft Of the dispensers and to
share off the profits Of the tigers. 1t

THE Columbia Record deplores the
fact that the cotton producers will
reap but little benefit from the ad-
vanced price for the reason that most
of them had already sold. How 1t Is
in other parts of the state, we do not
know; but the farmers Of York county
are not in need Of a great deal Of SYM
pathy. Two weeks ago there were still
over 5000 bales of cotton in the coun-

than 1000 bales in the hands Of the
farmers yet.

JOHN C. Setter the postmaster at
Fern, Shasta, county, California, Is
grieving over an error, says dispatch.
He has been the presiding genius OF
the local postoffice for years and was
never before called upon to correct
anything in his records. About four
weeks ago he forgot to dot the letter
81" in his name when he sent requis-
ition to Washington for supply OF
postage stamps. The requisition was
dishonored and returned to him, with
request that he supply the missing dot,
Mr.. Setter put on the dot and sent the
Identical blank back to Washington.
He received the stamps yesterday. The
patrons Of the Fern postoft1ce were un-
able to buy stamps for the past ten
days, all because Mr.. Setter forgot to
dot that one little letter, and because
the department is as exacting about
little things as big ones.

There were several petitions before
the board with reference to roads The
people interested in the road from Gbe-
nezer to the Catawba bridge, wanted
more time from the chain gang; put
the board was not disposed to grant
the request. The committee having In
charge the proposed Improvement on
the Adair's Ferry road, was told that
owing to previous engagements 1t would
be impossible to say when the chain
gang would be available. Several other
matters Of no particular public interest
were considered. The proposition Of To-
cal physicians to do the practice OF
the county home and jail for $3.50 per
