PURSUANT to the request Of Senator
Tillman, we reproduce today his SYM
postum Of Scriptural references to
wine and although 1t represents sew
eral hours Of tedious labor on the part
Of the secretary who CLEANED a con-
cordance for these texts, we are unable
to see that 1t has any bearing on the
question at issue. 1t reminds us Of the
incident of the Irish lawyer who when
confronted with the information that
the prosecution would bring two wit
nesses to testify that they saw his cli-
ent commit the crime alleged. boasted
of his ability to produce a dozen wit
nesses who knew nothing about the
matter. These texts prove that wine
was familiar in the olden times; but
that is about all. However, 1t Is not
wine that is raising all this trouble. 1t
Is whisky and chemicals, and in view
Of the experience we have had during
the past twelve or thirteen years, 1t Is
not necessary to refer to the Bible to
evidence the moral and physical de-
bauchery and corruption Of which they
are capable in either public or private
life

EDITORIAL BULLS EYES.

News and Courier: With the es-
teemed Abbeville Press and Banner
accusing the equally esteemed B. r..
Tillman of drumming I'm the interest
Of whisky drinking the times are all
out of joint.
Columbia State: You know" said
Senator Tillman to the Gaffney Ledger,
1T took thirteen years to discover the
corruption in the dispensary system"
The senator should refresh his memory
by reference to the newspaper files.
It did not take year to discover the
corruption, but 1t took upwards Of q
dozen years to force him and other
bigoted advocates of the system to ad-
NIT the condition. Until within the
last week he has not admitted the cor
ruption; instead he has for years de-
Tended the dispensary, defended the
men who conducted its affairs and dis
regarded all charges filed by the oppo-
sition. His attitude has been such as
to encourage those having opportunity
to steal to take advantage Of the shell
tering arms Of the systems defenders.
Columbia State: President Brock is
reported to have told someone recently
that the Richland Distilling company
has made no money. That Is q ques-
ton beyond the knowledge Of the out
slider, but 1t is a fact that this distil-
lery has enjoyed great big patronage
from the dispensary. Certainly a
greater patronage could not have been
expected. The question naturally
arises: "If the distillery has made no
money when favored by the dispensary
to the very limit, what would 1t have
lost had the dispensary favored con-
Germs outside the state? And would
the distillery have been established
here, with practically no other market
than the dispensary, II the patronage
Of that institution depended on the
precarious possibilities Of competition
in the open market?" These are the
questions that have not been answer
ed. The enormous orders given the
Richland concern inevitably suggest
favoritism. Why that favoritism
Could another disthlery be establish
ed here. produce the same class OF
liquor, offer it at the same prices and
divide equalfSathe business now given
to the one that has enjoyed something
much akin to a monopoly?

AS to whether Governor Hayward has
q right to kick out the state board or
dispensary directors we don't know.
Senator Tillman says he mas under
the constitution; but that will prob
ably be a question. However we agree
In the opinion that IL the governor
has such right, enough has developed
to warrant him In exercising 1t, and
we would like to see him move. 1t Is
possible that such action might stir up
a muss that would assist in estab-
fishing exactly what 1t is that is dead
up Mill Creek.

Barn Burned.
A barn belonging to Freeman
Workman, colored, at Guthriesville,

Communion at Bethesda.
The usual large congregation was In

vicinity and many from different

did eat the portion of the kings meat.
16 Thus Melzar took away the por-
ton of their meat, and the wine that
they should drink: and gave them
pulse. .. -...
Like Daniel Of old the Prohibitionists
want a trial. They asked for a trial
in 1892. and 1t was refused. Instead
they were deluged with a drenching
flood Of liquid poison the like Of which
they had never known. Now they are
asking for another trial, and Senator
Tillman seeks to put them Off again.
He insists that the kings meat and
wine are better than pulse and water
Having been so terribly deceived once
the question Is whether or not the peo-
pie will again submit to the persuasion
of Senator Tillman, or follow the
guidance of the Great Teacher whom
the Senator would so lightly discredit.

LOS ANGELES SUBSTANTIAL

The value Of building improvements in Los Angeles
for the current month is likely to exceed s9oOOO0o II
that figure be reached it will indicate high water mark
in the citys building experience
At the close Of last week the permits issued thus far
in the month represented to s14525S1
There is doubt that the months record Of
permits will be maintained and that the total figure will
reach the round s20O0OOO
What does this phenomenal building record signify?
At first thought there is suggestion Of the gone but not
forgotten boom Of nearly twenty years ago. But that
boom purely wild land speculation 1t was based
lots, not buildings for homes and business pur
poses. The boom had quicksand foundation and
balloon superstructure not even as substantial
the house mentioned in scripture which the foolish
man built upon the sand, And the rain descended
and the floods and the winds blew and beat upon
that house. and it fell and great the fall Of It."
Los Angeles, the contrary is building like unto
the wise who founded his house properly when
the storm test at fell not for It founded upon
a rock"
The foundation Of the marvellous building enterprise
that has distinguished Los Angeles in years the
demand for homes and the requirements OF business
panson The peculiar attractions this favored corner
of the United States is drawing thousands of eastern
people hther every yeareach year bringing many
than the preceding All these people must have
homes and they have the money wherewh to buy lots
and erect dwellings. This rapid increase of population
demands corresponding increase in business and hence
the constant addition to the number of buildings
business purposes.
Another notable fact in this connection which is
noticed by all observant sojourners in Angeles is
the comparatively moderate prices of both residence
business property in this city, improved and unmproved
Instead of noticing anything like initiation of values the
stranger that prices relatively lower in Los
Angeles than they any other large progressive
eastern city. In other American city is the folnda
ton of property solid rock-ke than it in
Los Angeles Nor is there any other city which gives
such great of continued growth of the
substantial character This of the Los
Angeles to be immune from any stuntng effects
upon its growth resulting from the of hard tines
that occasionally sweep the United States.
Homeseekers will continue to hither because
of the natural attractions of this section regardless of
conditions that affect other sections of the country
uriously They will require and more homes, and
the growth of population will necesstate and
business structures.
Even s2,OOOOOO building record for May might be
dwarfed before the end of the year.

A PUBLIC OWNERSHIP EXAMPLE

In order to correctly understand the outrage perne
trated the people of Philadelphia by the gas trust
facts should be stated concerning the relationship
Of the trust to the city.
In the first place it is the city, not the trust that
the plant Philadelphia the few larger
cities of the United States in which plan of munich
Pal ownership has been extended the lighting service
The current gives idea of the way the public
ownership of gas is working in the Quaker city.
Philadelphia provided its gas service system and
finally leased it all for the equivalent of 10 per cent
of the leasing companys gross receipts That COMPANY
was composed of typical Philadelphia politicians and
the city outragiously swndled when the lease was
made In order to "cinch control of the gas business
for long period the powerful clique connected with the
gas company concocted a scheme whereby the CITY
should make lease to the company for seventy
five years. That scheme consummated last week
although Philadelphia is stirred rarely was stirred
before, in an effort TO upset the lease
1t is not allurng picture of municipal ownersbip
that thus presented in Philadelphia The city owns its
gas plant but is poweess to operate it because of the
mutual interests Of the politicians constituting the ov
council and managers of the company The gas bus
ness in Philadelphia evidently the equivalent of gold
mine, is the in all other large American cities
The that ii draws from the people goes to the
enrichment Of the politicians and the gas monopoists
Public property through the form of lease is employed
to fleece the people who it and to the pockets
Of the worst Of official rascals in the United States
