OUT WITH THE DIsPENsARY.
Rev. w. {. Hurt Says That the pispen
sary Is the Real Issue.

Editor of the Yorkville Enquirer:
I have read with much interest
your account Of the anti-dispensary
meeting. Allow me to express my re-
grets at my inability to be present, as
/ am conducting a revival meeting.
The object Of that meeting was TO
get the citizens Of York county TO
come together to put forth united ef-
forts to remove our local dispensary.
. Therefore 1t is not state issue, a
political issue, a fight against Ben
Tillman, bad liquor, but local issue
The people of Yorkville voted for
local dispensary, the people Of York
Vile got a local dispensary. But now
we see our mistake and are not
ashamed to confess our sins by voting
to remove this local dispensary. But
In order to succeed in our efforts the
law says the citizens Of York county
must have a say also with you before
you can remove 1t. We therefore, the
citizens of Yorkville, call upon the
citizens Of York county to come to our
rescue In this our hour of agony or
soul, mind and body.
Will they come? Yes. they Will; II
we make II a local issue. This Is ao-
solutely essential to success.
Let US first remove our local dls-
pensary and relegate Tillman, bad
LIQUOR, state dispensary and politics TO
utter oblivion for the time being.
Respectfully,
w. E. HURT.

STARTLING STATISTICS.
pispsnsary Profits Show Ridieulousiy
Low Percentage.

DiSpenSary PronSS ono" niuiSa'SssI
Low Percentage.
Startling dispensary statistics whicn
are believed to have never been pup
lished, have been carefully compiled
by Rev. L. M. Rice of the First Bap-
tist church Of Union.
These statistics show: That the
amount of liquor sold in the entire
state increased from ss75.1S4.2O In
1895, to the enormous sum Of $2,S16'-
242.5S in 1904; that the total expenses
have Jumped from $17S,747.6S in 1884
to $4ss,253.63 in 1904; and that the
profits have changed from $254,S44-
OF in 1897 to $126,26S in 1908, show
ing that the profits on an invested
million are less than the half million
invested during the years 1897, 1885,
1899, or, in other words that as the
assets have increased, the profits have
decreased. The seizures prove that
there Is marked activity some
years and in other years SLACK en-
forcement In the matter or appre-
hending dealers in Illicit liquor; 1t is
demonstrated that there was a profit
in 1897 of $22,937.31. while the capt.
tai stock that same year was $7S,O61-
land in 1904 the profits were only
S126,266 when the stock was 5000 600
and the assets about $1,000,0OO. The
amount due on liquor at the end OF
the year 1894 was $4S,Sl5.26, and In
1904, $510.721.2S. The sales at the
county dispensaries have increased
from sl06,72l.2S in 1896, to $512,216-
.36 i'm 1903. The cost Of the famous
Palmetto constabulary has risen from
S4O,9O0.43 in 1897, to $66,412.12 In
1904. The receipts paid by local dis
pensaries have grown from $1,1l7,-
SO3.O4 in 1897 to S2,924,S00 In 1904.

al support and his intelligent grasp
of the situation have helped very
much.
Mr.. Christensen today told the cor
respondent of the State of the man.
ner in which he secured the evidence
from Harmon and Reibling, two dis
pensers. 1t required strategy and de-
cisiveness to get them before the COM
mittee and skill to separate them from
the information they possessed.
The greater part of the day was
spent in examining witnesses as to in
ternal rottenness and it was only oc-
casionalIy that there were references
to the state dispensary. 1t was the
same old grind, dispensers being
forced to pay for their retention In
service and conducting their business
in a manner in violation Of the law.
Today 1t was stated for the first
time definitely that money had been
paid to C. o. Smith, chairman OF the
county board. The dispensers VINO
are in Office will not testify. Of course,
and those who are out merely TESTIFY
that they were teased up to the point
of offering Smith money, and then
didn't get the job, for the other Fellow
put I'D more than they supposed. But
B. L. Toland swore today that he had
given to Joe Huseman $c75 to be
handed to c. o. Smith. Smith has
been out of the city, but his attorney
Mr.. c. P. Sims, today telephoned Smith
to come back and he will appear and
ask for a hearing. VIII Avant ana
Lanford, who were members of the
board, also want to be heard. Mr..
Sims has conducted his side OF the
case skillfully. He Is hard fighter
and fearless.
While the evidence so far adduced
may not be sufficient to convict any
body before a jury, yet 1t Is probable
that all who have followed the evi-
dence as published are now convinced
that the machine In Spartanburg
county was rotten and has been
II so here, in a county OF wide
awake, industrious and law-abiding
people, what may it not be elsewhere?

AN OPEN LETTER
Mr.. Practical Farmer.
York County. s. G.,

Mr.. Practical Farmer,
| York County, S. c.
Dear Sir: You will soon be thinking Of
your fall plowing and while you are
thinking about 1t you will of course
want the best Turn Plow obtainable
to turn up the soil. We want to re-
mind yoH that York County's best far
mers use and recommend the Oliver
Turn/Plow and the Oliver Middle
Busters, because there Is no longer
any doubt In the minds Of successful
farmers about the advantages OF deep
plowing, and they know by experience
that the Oliver Is the best plow In the
world, 1t goes deeper and its draft Is
lighter. We don't ask you to take our
statement on this point. Ask your
lneighbor who uses an Oliver.
A gentleman who Is a successful
farmer, recently said to us: "One fall
started to turn big field with an
| Oliver plow, and after the work had
been partly done. something happened
that had to quit for the time being.
Later on the balance Of the field was
plowed up with ordinary plows. The
field was planted in cotton and when
the crop came up anyone could see the
difference In the crop. Where the OIL
liver had gotten its work In the crop
was decidedly the best, and another
thing the grass was not so bad on that
part of the field as 1t was where 1t was
Just plowed'" The oliver Is little
higher in price than other turn plows.
but they are a great deal better and
will make good the difference In cost
during the first years crop. Every one
Is sold under guarantee against de-
fects In material or workmanship.
Yours very truly,
CARROLL BROS.
We continue to sell Columbus and
Rock Hill Buggies.

COTTON IN JAPAN. = When the
steamer Kanagwa left Kobe, says a
Seattle, Washington, dispatch of
yesterday, there were more than
eighty ships either at the docks or In
the offing awaiting an opportunity to
discharge their cargoes. mostly of
cotton.
This commodity, according to Capt
Vale, is crowding every warehouse
along the water front and overflow
ing into the fields which extend back
from the town.
Shortly before the departure Of the
Kanagwa a fire started. and before
1t was extinguished destroyed 10000
bales.
Capt. Vale states the loss was
scarcely noticeable to casual obsery-
ers, and the space which the burned
cotton had taken was filled almost
Immediately by other bales discharg-
ed from many ships.
The greater part is American, al
though a small portion Is from India.

ARCTIC EXPEDITION RELIEvED.-The
Arctic steamer Terra Nova, which
went to the relief Of the Fiala-Zeigler
polar expedition, has rescued An
thony Fiala and all the others con-
nected with the expedition, with the
exception Of one Norwegian seaman,
who died from natural causes.
The ship America, which took out
the expedition, was crushed in the
Ice early in the winter Of 10000,
and lost with a large part Of her coal
and provisions.
Thirty-seven members Of the expe-
dition who were returned safely
were all in good health, despite their
deprivations and trying experiences,
and prolonged Imprisonment in the
Arctic, the expedition having been
severed from all communication with
the outside world since July, 1908.
Fiala says that the abundance of
stores left at Franz Josef Land by
the Abruzzi and Andre expeditions
saved the party serious privation.
Three attempts to reach high lati-
tude failed, but scientific work was
successfully carried out.

- Charlotte Chronicles: The papers
print from one to two columns of
news a day from New Orleans but
that Is not enough to satisfy the peo-
pie. In Washington City typhoid fe-
yer Is almost as bad as yellow fever
in New Orleans, yet we hear nothing
about it. In that city Monday, six
teen new cases Of typhoid fever were
reported, making a total Of fifty-one
this month. The total number of
cases under treatment in the national
capital Monday was 166. The death
rate is not given. The Washington
epidemic, however, Is not a marker to
the typhoid epidemic which ragged in
Philadelphia two years ago. In each
case. the epidemic resulted from pol
luted water.
