WHERE THE SEA DIsAPPEARs.-A
Philadelphia girl was recently over
taken and drowned by the incoming
tide on the west coast Of France. A
transplanted Breton said Of this fatal
ty:
Can you, who see your own tides
crawl in at the rate Of ten feet or sc
an hour, imagine tides racing like wilc
white horses up the fiat sands at the
rate of half a mile minute.
1.-The extraordinary flatness OF OIL
Breton coasts gives us these phenom'
enal tides. The sea does not rise ane
fall. 1t appears and disappears. You
have a vast and fiat plain Of sand
At set hour the sea rushes In, white
wild, submerging this vast plain. Al
a set hour an unseen hand sucks back
the waters-back thirty forty, fifty
miles-and nothing is visible but the
plain Of pale sand again.
Woe unto such as walk on this desc
late plain when the tide begins tc
rise, for they must drown! Nothing
can save them."-Philadelph Bulletin

BARRIcApEs IN HISTORY.
Cases In Which They Have Proved to
Be Very Effective.

The men and women who erected
the barricades around which so much
blood flowed during the recent riots
in Lodz, Russia, were following time
tried precedents. For the street bar
ricade is the first thing which an
otherwise defenceless population puts
up when it means to fight authority.
History has been made at the barri-
cades. Nearly six hundred years
ago Paris, the home. apparently OF
this sort of fighting, barricaded Its
streets against the future Charles
"; and two and quarter CEN
turtles later resorted to similar
defence, when 1000 mercenaries

TRENTON, s. c., October 2, 1905.
To the Editor of the News and Cou-
rier: At the Batesburg meeting Satur-
day, September %, made the state
ment that the state board Of control
Of the dispensary has violated the law
and been derelict, as they did not pur-
chase liquor under competitive sys-
tenn Of buying as required by the sta
tute. I further declared that the sys-
tenn followed made 1t possible to sell
to the state Xxx rye and xxx rye out of
the same barrel. that the board on its
advertisement did not describe what
x, Xxx or xxx rye meant and that the
state was left at the mercy Of the bid
ders to deliver anything in the shape of
whisky with no guarantee whatever as
to the goods coming up to the sample,
for the reason that the chemist himself
declared that he could detect adultera-
ton, but that he could not tell any
thing about the grade or quality.
The Hon. John Bell Towill very ex-
citedly declared that my statement was
mot So" and, according to some Of the
newspaper reports. said positively ut
was false" Quite heated colloquy
ensued. Feeling so sure Of my ground,
for I had read the advertisement the
week before. I had not armed myself
with the proof. but I requested the
reporter for the State newspaper, in
whose columns I have read the adver-
tisement, to send a copy of 1t to each Of
the Lexington and Saluda papers with
the request that they publish 1t in or
der that the people Of the two counties
represented at the meeting might see
for themselves whether Mr.. Towill had
any right to dispute my word as he did.
For some reason this has not been done,
and as the widest publicity has been
given to the issue Of veracity between
Mr.. Towill and myself I ask you to
publish as much of the enclosed adver-
tisement as I have marked in pencil.
and II will be seen that I had war
rant for every word I said, and Mr..
Towill Is convicted of dense ignorance
of what his own board is doing, to say
The least Of 1t.
(The part Of advertisement referred
to follows:)
NOTICE TO LIQUOR DEALERS.
Office Of State Board Of Directors Of
the South Carolina Dispensary, Colum-
bia, s. c., August IA, 1905.

mated as KS, the following scale must
be observed by bidders: The actual

There Is absolutely no check to guard
against defrauding the state except the
honesty (?) of the dealer. and I had
large whisky distiller tell me once that
all men who handled whisky had to be
watched. x in this advertisement Is
like x in the algebra an unknown
quantity except as to the proof or
strength of the liquor and every one
familiar with the business knows that
this is no criterion whatever of quality
or value.
Section 557 of the South Carolina
code provides:
And said contract shall be awarded
to the lowest responsible bidder, for
such quantities and kinds Of liquors
as may be deemed necessary to the dis
pensary for the quarter"
In the light of this advertisement,
can assert that there Is no competition
in quality, only competition in price
and the spirit of the law Is not COM
piled with at all. 1t may be said that
the samples that accompany the bids
are a check on the bidder delivering
something else, but this is an absur-
dity, as no man living can tell whether
two samples of liquor are Identical
simply by taste or by other means for
that matter. Yet liquor is a staple ar
ware houses afford a check and abso-
lutte protection against fraud, and IL
uuor can be described In an advertise
ment as clearly as corn or bacon. 1 do
not know how long this system Of ad-
vertising has been In vogue, but who
ever invented 1t has certainly put II
in the power of the liquor dealers to
defraud the state and foist off on the
people immense quantities Of inferior
and perhaps poisonous stuff. No won
der there is such an immense stock OF
"unsalable" or dead stock whisky on
hand.
trust all newspapers in the state
that have copied Mr.. Towill's impu-
dent denial Of my statement will dc
me the justice to copy this. and espe-
cially those papers of Lexington and
Saluda counties. B. r. TILLMAN.

ceives a substantial cash consider
alton for doing so. incidentally
the votes connected with the Ne
gro gambling dens are used by
small political bosses to obtain
and to hold as their own whatever
share of political patronage may be
awarded to the Negroes.
The News believes that some
blame attaches to the thoughtful
and decent colored element Of the
community that it has not made a
more vigorous. fight to have these
dens suppressed and sternly insist
ed upon making public all the
facts connected with them. They
are the havens of refuge for Ne
gro criminals wher such criminals
come to the city. They furnish the
Negroes who occasionally commit
robberies, and therefore furnish
the reason for the police dragnet
proceedings against Negroes.
And yet they could not exist for
twenty-four hours with out the
consent and connivance of some
body who ought to enforce the
laws against them,
Rotten political methods and
grating are at the bottom of this,
as they are at the lotion of a
good many other wrong things.
