THE Columbia Record, which is vio-
lently opposed to any change in the
present law regulating the purchase Of
whisky for the dispensary and espe-
cially to the Raysor Manning bill
which recently passed the senate, re-
marks: THE dispensary can only be
run honestly by honest men," This is
very true; but to our mind 1t only adds
force to this observation that was made
a few days ago by the Columbia
State: as it not time for those who
have quieted their consciences by de-
claring it the best solution of vexed
problem If honestly administered to
recognize the fact that virtue is as
likely to reign in house Of prostitu-
tion as hone sty in this great whisky
machine?" The best way to get rid
of the imperfections in the law Is to
kill the who'll business.

A bill to require marriage licenses
was discussed in the house on We'd
nesday, and was indefinitely postponed
by a vote Of 5S to so. The subject
had been considered previously during
the present session, and the vote Of
Wednesday indicates that the license
idea is growing.
Mr.. L. o. Patterson's bill to estab-
lish state reformatory for youthful
criminals passed the house on We'd

an appropriation Of $4,000. but this
amount was cut to $4,000 and 1t was
provided that the building be done by
convict labor.

SECRETARY Of State CAN'T specifical-
ly denies the charges made by the in
vestigating committee as to the con-
duct Of the business Of his office.
Members Of the committee assert on
the other hand that more could have
been reported than was. Perhaps 1t
would be we'll to appoint another COM
mittee to find out who Is right in this
controversy. The people are entitled
to know the whole truth.-Columbia

To our mind the case seems to have
passed the committee stage, and might.
with propriety, after the usual formal
tiles, be submitted to the consideration
of a petit jury.

THE Columbia State objects to coun-
ty control of the dispensaries because
1t would mean the creation Of three
dozen little devils to take the place Of
one big devil" and argues that the big
devir' is somewhat handicapped by be-
ing subjected to the ''limelight of pub
licity." So far as we are concerned,
we would rather see all the devils an
initiated; but If this cannot be done.
we think that the three dozen little
devils will do less harm than the one
big one. The one big devil seems to
have managed the publicity question
very well up to this time. especially at
headquarters, and we are doubtful as
to whether the little devils could take
care Of themselves half so we'll at their
respective homes.

If the dispensary law were so con-
structed as to rrovide that each coun-
ty might deal in liquor or not as 1t
chooses, it would be wrong for prohi-
bition counties to ask liquor dealing
counties for any part Of their profits;
but so long as the state elects to con-
duct the liquor business, and use any
part of the profits for educational pur-
poses, it seems to us that it ought not
to discriminate against one county In
favor of another, in the division Of
those profits unless at the same time
it is willing that counties which are to
have no share In the dispensary schoo!
fund also be exempted from all taxa
ton, on account Of the penitentiary
and the lunatic asylum.

CALL OF COTTON.
Official Address to the People OF tho
South.

Editor Yorkville Enquirer:--,..,,.... go
The enclosed general call for oggani-
zation, addressed to the people OF the
south, has Just been received by US as
members attending the late New Or
leans convention for York county, and
we hand 1t to you with request that
you publish same at once.
This call, as to its details, does not
wholly agree with the call already Is
sued by the state authorities, and con-
firmed by our county chairman But
really, as the purpose Is to 80 organ
izesthat the people interested are to
have mass meetings at home, whilst at
the various court houses they are TO
assemble by delegates from the home
meetings, and at the various state cap
itals, by delegates from their county
conventions, II will not matter which
call Is followed; whether the home
meetings be by precincts or townships,
or whether two or three delegates be
sent to the county convention, or
whether the county conventions meet
on the 18th inst, or the 18th inst, so
long as they surely meet; but we sug-
gest that as to our county convention
II will be safer to adhere to Saturday
the 18th inst. the day named In the
county chairman's call.
Yours truly,

opment of the enormous natural adj
vantages of this wonderful country.
In such a period of industrialism sue
cess is apt to be measured by indlvid-
ual wealth or earning capacity. Bur
we shall come more and more to I'M
derstand and appreciate the true
standard, to estimate men, not in dol
lars and cents, but according to their
real worth. The worlds greatest bene-
factors have been men who lived and
died poor in material wealth. The
scholar, the patriot, the statesman, the
artist, the scientist, the teacher, the
moral exemplar, these in the greatness
OF their work make the mere money
grubber seem meanly small. There is
too much worship of wealth, but it is
not universal.

To n sweet soul who lived among
us too short space the panorama of life
and its living was spread In a fine
and true light. He saw, through much
pain and many struggles the things
that endure beyond those Of this
world. In that brief "creed" Of living
which has come to us from Robert
Louis Stevenson are set the guide
posts to a finer conception of life and
Its duties than is contained In many a
bulky book. To some 1t Is n part Of
what they know and love; to others
1t Is unknown. What is 1t to you?
ITO be honest, to be kind. To earn
a little and to spend a little less. To
make, upon the whole, a family hap
pier for his presence. To renounce
when that shall be necessary, and not
to be embittered. To keep a few
friends, but these without capitulation
Shove oil, on the same grim condi-
ton, to keep friends with himself.
Here Is a task for all that a man has
of fortitude and delicacy." Here Is
material for q year Of writing and a
lifetime of thinking and doing. For
1t Is, In truth, a mustard seed Of hap
piness and helpfulness. The art Of
living Is Of all human subjects with
which we have to deal the broadcast
and most beautiful. 1t Is well for men
and women to dip into 1t as deeply as
their mental equipment and the stat
ure Of their souls will allow. 1t Is an
art too much neglected in these hur-
ried days. The tendency toward ma
terial gain, the craving for position
and personal place, the increasing ap-
petltes for fame and fashion, are all
more or less hostile to its development
and growth. Deserving of the highest
and most prominent place in the cata-
logue Of human ~attainments, 1t Is Of
ten made secondary to those far in
ferlor. To get along" In the world
seems the shibboleth Of the newer gen
Grafton, rather than to live nobly and
well. This Is not strange, neither is
1t a phase of the times to be greatly
feared. AS with most things of the
sort, time Is needed to right it-time
and the work and words Of those who
see above the mountain tops Of ma
terialism into the clear sky Of common
sense and the spirit. Out of this marsh
may grow and bloom the best flowers
of the future. The mistakes of to-day
are the foundations on which we build
the lasting towers of tomorrow. AS
with honesty, kindness loves most to
dwell in little things. Both are like
the notes Of a great organ, honesty the
bass and kindness the treble. We can
not see the player-and his name Is
legion-but out through the aisles and
naves and transepts Of the world floats
the music. In perfect harmony they
gladden. and soothe, their fair melody
drowning many discords and marking
time to the march Of our better selves.

Cornelius Vanderbilt, the million
alre inventor, has been given letters
patent on an improved locomotive
boiler, which, It Is claimed, will make
n great saving in fuel to the railroads.
This Is the second or third time that
young Vanderbilt has made n success
full appearance at the patent office.
Cornelius Vanderbilt is the eldest son
of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt, and
should have Inherited the major por-
ton Of his fathers vast estate and the
leadership Of the house, but because
of his independence in marrying the
woman he loved against the wishes of
his father he was passed over and the
Vanderbilt cash and honors went TO
his younger brother Alfred. Cornelius
fell heir to a million or two, and his
independence, which was worth more
TO him.

1t would not be surprising II there
was a revolt some time against the re-
tired list Of the army and navy.
Through recent legislation and rapid
promotions the retired list has be-
come t~op-heavy. There are now three
lieutenant generals, 20 major generals
and $50 brlgadier generals on the re-
tired list Of the army. In the navy OF
the three highest grades there are 1913
real admirals, IS commodores and "a
captains. The net OF Congress two
years ago raised many men on the re-
tired list II rank II they had seen
service In the Civil War and had not
been advanced a grade on retirement.
This swelled the list Of brIgadler gen
erals a great deal, but $50 brlgadier
generals on the retired list Is entirely
out Of proportion to the size Of the
army either now or what 1t has been
during the past 40 years since the
close of the Civil War.
