The United States Supreme
Court has just rendered a deci-
sion which will have a beneficial
effect all over the country and
make gambling houses go out OF
business. The State Of Ohio has
statute which makes the owner
of the building where a person
loses money liable to an action
for recovery. in the case re-
ferred to a man lost in a gamb-
ling house a large sum Of money.
His wife brought suit against the
owner Of the property in the
State courts and was given a
Judgment, which was sustained
by the State Supreme Court, and
last Monday it was also sus-
tanned by the United States Su-
preme Court. Here is something
for the consideration Of our legis-
lators. In every city of the State
the authorities have been having
trouble in enforcing anti-gamb-
ling laws with but little effect.
AS fast as one Of these dens are
raided they are opened up again

The Best Solution.

An attempt has been weakly made to
show inconsistency on the part of The
State when it, favoring local option, ad-
vocates the voting out of the Dispensary
by the Legislature. According to
the principle of local option" says a
Dispensary paper, ''those who want the
DispensarieS have as much right to con-
tinue them as those who do not want
them have to abolish them" Local
option has only to do with that which is
optional" with the locality"
The State asks the Legislature to
abolish the State Dispensary system be-
cause the Legislature is the only power
possessing authority to take such action:
If every county in South Carolina voted
out the Dispensary under the Brice law
the State Dispensary would yet be a
State institution. No exercise Of local
option can abolish theState Dispensary,
for that is State not 8 local creation
and is to be dealt with only by the Leg
islature.
The questions to be determined by
local option are whether whisAey shall
be sold: and if sold, under what condi-
tions?? The possible conditions are re-
stricted by the State Constitution. The
Legislature is urged to abolish the State
Dispensary and permit local option in
the counties to determine whether there
shall be prohibition, high license or
county-governed Dispensaries. There
is nothing bordering on inconsistency in
cur position. It is, in fact, the only
logical and consistent thing for a Demo
cratic Legislature. The sentiment OF
the people condemns the Dispensary, a
creature of the Legislature. Its contin-
uance is, as the Legislature can wisely
determine, against public policy. 1t
cannot be reformed, for it is Inherently
corrupt. Therefore the Legislature may
wisely take that action next January
which will be Inevitable the January
succeeding. The people are determined
to tear up the DiSpensary. The Legis-
lature should heed the popular demand
and then permit the people of the coun-
ties say what is the best solution"-for
them-of the whiskey problem.-The
State
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1905-11-15

and the law is defed. But if our
lawmakers will put upon the
statute books a law making the
owner Of the property liable for
losses, the owners of property
will be careful to see that no
gambling dens are operated.
This gambling business is not
confined to the large cities alone.
Many of the smaller towns have
their gangs of ';sports," who
entice young men into the fasci,
mating games of chance and
thereby bring about their ruin.
Many a bright young man with
excellent capabilities has been
lured into these hells, and not
only did it ruin him and his fu-
ture usefulness, butt has broken
the hearts of fond parents. We
should hail with Joy legislation
that will put a stop to this damn
ing practice, and Ohio has SET
the pace for other States to tol-
low.

The persecution Of the Jews in
Russia has aroused the sympathy
of the American people, and IN
many Of the large cities mass
meetings have been, and continue
to beheld protesting in the name
of humanity against this horrible
savagery, and at these meetings,
funds are being contributed for
the relief of the survivors Of the
fearful massacres. It is fearful
to contemplate that in a land
where civilization is supposed to
be, its subjects can be knouted
and scourged, people put to the
sword and the torch, for no other
oHense than being a Jew. Such
a condition isimpossible in Amer
lea or within the reach Of the
United States. Would that Eng
land, France and Germany had
the same spirit of liberty and hu-
manity.

The News and Courier Of last
Monday, in commenting upon
what a Washington reporter had
to say about Hon. John L. Nc
Laurin's political prominence in
this State, says: sit will be a long
time, however, before the peo-
pie of South Carolina will be
ready to accept his political
leadership" Our Oh aries ton
morning daily is given to such
occasional spasms, and its at
tempt to sit up and look wise is
not surprising. What entities
the News and Courier to be the
mouth-piece of public sentiment?
That paper is never known to
be in touch with public senti-
ment, it is as ignorant OF the
political sentiment of the people
today as it was in 1890.
McLaurin is out of Office now,
and therefore has no voice in
the appropriations for Charles
ton. This may account for the
News and Courier's attitude to-
wards him. If the people Of
South Carolina are going to
permit themselves ruled by the
machine, then we will agree that
it will be a long time before the
people ::will be ready to accept
his political leadership" but we
do not believe they will permit
the present conditions to exist.
Machine rule was smashed in
New York and Ohio, and we be-
lieve it will be in South Caro-
lima. The people are in closer
sympathy with Mr.. McLaurln
now than they were a few years
ago: they realize they We're mis-:
led by the politicians, and should
he come before them again, the
News and Courier, and the pol
iticians generally: will discover
him a strong leader. leading a
determined people who will have
to be reckoned with. We have
no doubt the News and Courier
will readily admit that Mr.. Nc
Laurin has many sincere ad-
mirers in every county in the
State, Charleston not excepted,
and these friends yet expect to
see him come to the front in the
politics of South Carolina.

Effort to Bear Cotton Market.

New York, Nov ll-ttichard Cheat
ham of Atlanta. secretary of the South
ern Cotton Association is quoted by
The Herald as having last night Sc
verelv criticised the report of the cot
ton crop issued yesterday from Wash
ingtou, in which the condition of the
crop on Nov. l was stated to be 6S.S.
Mr.. Cheatham who is stopping in
this city, said among oCher things:
The most absurd piece Of spite
work ever attempted was the issuing
of the crop report Friday by Mr.. Will
son, the secretary Of agriculture. In
this report he announces the condition
at 6S.S Now there is no sane man who
ever saw cotton stalk who does not
know that on Nov 10 it is not only far
beyond the fruiting or bearing stage.
but in nearly every case is entirely
void of foliage of every kind. 1t has
passed far beyond the increasing stage.
It's conditions are recognized in reports,
is the same as on Oct. l previously.
For Secretary Wilson to make report
on conditions of Nov. ! is to assist in
the operations of the bear spectators
to hammer down the price OF cotton.
Il say to Mr.. Wilson, shame, shame,
shame on him and the men who as
sisted him in his attempt at spite work
against the cotton producers of the
South. It is d final effort to get even
anu the attempt will result in sure dis
comfture for the department OF agri-
culture before the next session OF Con-
is far advanced. That there will be an
of this department by
Congress and an uncoverlng of matters
now concealed before which all pre-.
vious disclosures will pale into insig-
nifcance I do not for an instant doubt" !"
The Southern Cotton Association in
it's bulletin of the crop, issued Oct. 81,
estimated the crop for 1905 at 9,444 ,3l4
bales, smaller production than yes
terday's estimate of GS.S would promise.

There is a little weekly news
paper being published in Colum-
bia called. the ''Vidette, /" and it
is making a strenuous effort to
bring itself into noteriety by
charging the Columbia State
with swindling in the matter of
public printing, and the Patriot
of Orangeburg takes much
pleasure in reproducing what
the s:Vidette" says about The
State. We have often differed
with one editorial expression of
of the Columbia State, but when
it comes to a question Of honesty
the Vidette and thousand Of
such papers, including the Pa
triot, could ncot make US be-
lieve the management of the
Columbia State, the State prin-
ter, or any one now connected
with the public printing is ca
pable of dishonesty, and were it
not that we have heard of a
number Of copies of the Vidette
being sent into this county we
would regard it a waste Of space
to dignity the charges of the
Vidette with notice.

In counties where the dispen-
sary has been voted out, for
sometime to come there will be
more or less violation of law.
No one expects the liquor thirst
to be quenched by the time the
election is declared, but notwith-
standing the cry Of wolf on the
part Of the liquor element, the
dry counties have rid themselves
Of the debauching machine, and
their representatives in the leg
islature are now in a position to
give them such legislation as the
conditionsin several counties will
warrant. If prohibition is i'm
practical, these representatives
can devise a system which will
meet with the practical require
ments Of their constituents, but
as long as the whiskey machine
dominates, the present debauch-
inginstitution will remain, not be-
cause it is for the peoples good,
but because it is profitable to a
certain class Of politicians.
