The occasion was a dance rendered Miss Hally Herrick of Nashville and Miss Kathryn Milhous by the latter's broth CT, MT. Frank Milhous, and was one of the most delightful social functions ever given here. For the occasion the second and third floors of the building were used and were elaborately deco rated in palms and vari-colored chry- santhemums. In the parlors where the guests were received and presented to the guests of honor, palms and yellow chrysanthemums were used; in the buffet white chrysanthemums were the flowers used, and the dancing hall was converted into a bower of loveliness with it's exquisite decorations of pink, yellow and white ehrysanthemums tied with ribbons to match.

4 Popular Resort.

The Montgomery Advertisers booth at the fair is a popular resort for the visitors. Many of the frequenters of the grounds make 1t their headquarters, Every morning there is given to the visitors the morning paper, which is read with interest. The booth of The Advertiser is the only newspaper booth within the grounds, and it is the head quarters of the newspaper men of the fair.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-11-11

Last night a visitor from the coun- try was touched on one of the street cars coming from the fair grounds. The cars were so crowded that the theft was an easy one. The young man from the country was sitting on one of the seats when the thief came up and ripped open his pocket and secured SIP.
 Instead of giving an alarm immedi- ately and trying to catch the thief, the young man sat still and allowed the thief to get away. After the car had reached the business part of the city, he raised a howl. The matter was re- ported to the police department, but as no good description could be obtain ed, the man has not yet been caught.

THE most practical plan that has
been brought to our attention for the
control Of the conditions resulting In
the extreme low prices Of cotton pro-
bably is that proposed by the Amer
ican Cotton Growers Union" recently
incorporated in Washington, pursuant
to acts Of congress. The proposed
capital stock has been fixed at one
hundred million dollars, to be divided
into two million shares Of the par
value Of $50 each. 1t is proposed that
subscriptions be made in cash, or In
cotton at a valuation of cents
pound. The plans Of the union provide
for the accommodation Of three million
bales through subscriptions and by
purchase, and the stockholders are to
have a guarantee that not bale OF
cotton is to be sold at less than III
cents a pound. When the 10 cents
price is reached, cotton Is to be sold
to consumers, and the profits are to go
to stockholders. In the meantime all
cotton Is to be stored in warehouses In
the neighborhoods by which 1t Is sub
scribed. The union proposes to use
all it's available capital in the purchase
Of cotton for storage purposes, and
promises to give to stockholders the
profits on all cotton that may have
been purchased. The circulars that
have been brought to our notice are
signed by o. D. Wilkerson, general
secretary, Rooms 40S-409, Bond Build
ing, Washington, and by Thomas w.
Buckley, resident agent, at the same
address. We have no hesitation In en-
dorsing the theoretical practicability
Of the plan outlined but as we know
nothing of the credibility Of these
men, we would not think Of advising
anybody to subscribe to the stock OF
the union until after they had been
assured Of the good faith Of the un-
dertaking.

ton at that price. Mr.. Douglass (N.
" intertected the remark that most
of the men specializing on the New
York excl ange were southern men,
which eau ed Mr.. Johnson to declare
that whether they were southern men
or not, they were enemies Of southern
people AMI Of good morals everywhere.
The people Of the south were holding
cotton which they had no more idea
of parting with at the present price
than the owners Of United States
bonds had of selling them at 25 cents
on the dollar. He predicted that be-
fore September l, 1905, thousands OF
spindles in the United States and
abroad would be idle because of their
inability to get cotton to spin. Mr..
Johnson argued that it would be per-
fectlv right for the southern cotton
growers to agree among themselves to
a reduction Of the cotton crop to the
extent of so per cent. Mr.. Slayden
(Texas) said that a curtailmtnt Of the
cotton crop in this country would only
encourage the greater production OF
it in other countries. He warned the
southern members that they should
not be daluded by the idea that the
south possessed the only climate or
soil which could produce cotton prof
itably.

The Tax on Morality.

We confess not a little surprise al
Governor Heyward's approval OF the
special tax provision of the Brice law
If there was ever more dishonest
sham on the statute books Of South
Carolina than is the dispensary law
we do have no knowledge of it.
The dispensary law was originally
enacted on pretense Of morality. Its
ostensible purpose was to restrict and
curtail the sale Of liquor.
From the day the dispensary opened
it's doors, it's object has been profit
and in order to make the profits the
greater the policy of the management
has been to sell as much whisky as
possible.
If the sale Of whisky by individuals
is immoral, the sale of whisky by the
state is immoral. There is nothing
immoral in whisky itself; but in the
use of whisky. The use of whisky
sold by the state causes as much i'm
morality as the use of whisky by in
dividuals.
Having perception enough to see
this fact, the general assembly. with
Mephistophelian shrewdness, sought
to divert the profits of the whisky
business to educational purposes. The
object, however, was not so much to
ensure the increased prosperity of the
schools - to secure the perpetuation
of the dispensary.
After a while there developed an
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1905-01-13

element Of personal interest In the dis
pensary management. At least, there
is good reason for 80 believing. Most
Of the people who have had control OF
the dispensary business, seem to have
gotten rich quickly-much richer than
they could have ever gotten on the
salaries that were allowed them by
law.
Some of the counties that had long
since solved the whisky question for
themselves, and which the general as
sembly had been considerate enough
to leave at liberty to adopt the new
law or not as they saw proper, held
aloof. Then to force these into line,
it was provided that dispensary profits
go to the towns and counties main
tanning dispensaries-all but a small
per cent to go to education, after the
Expenses" of the general management
had been paid out of the same.
Later on, as various counties began
to realize that the dispensary was too
expensive both morally and financial
| ly, and there came a demand that the
people should have right to exercise
the option Of abolishing dispensaries
when they saw proper, the general
assembly sought to put stumbling
block in the way Of the exercise OF
this privilege by providing a special
tax on all who saw proper to ask for It
This special tax is defended on the
ground, that people who escape the
debauchery of the dispensary must
pay for protection against the lesser
debauchery Of the blind tigers.
There are those who believe that
the only object Of the levy Of this spe-
cial tax was to discourage the aboli-
ton Of dispensaries. If 1t is not i'm
moral to sell liquor as a beverage In
accordance with law, there is nothing
immoral in the sale Of liquor in disre-
gard Of the law. II the purpose Of the
state, therefore Is not to discourage
the abolition Of dispensaries, that pur-
pose can certainly be no higher than
to prevent competition.
II the governor really considers the
dispensary an honest institution, hon.
estly conducted, and the sale Of liquor
as beverage a decent honorable bus
mess, then we can understand how he
can advocate the levy Of special taxes
for its encouragement. However, II
he considers the sale Of liquor as
moral crime, and statutory crime
as ii really is in counties where there
are no dispensaries, we are unable tc
understand why he should want tc
levy special taxes for its suppression
any more than he would levy special
taxes for the suppression Of theft, ar
son, gambling, murder. or other crimes
In counties where there are dispensa-
ries, the laws against these crimes are
enforced out Of the ordinary county
funds, why, then there should be
special tax to aid in this particular
crime in counties where there are nc
dispensaries, the governor has moi
sought to make clear.

SENATOR Cole L. Blease Of Newber-
ry. has introduced q resolution pro-
viding for a sweeping investigation OF
the dispensary management. 1t has
been argued that If the dispensary is
to be reformed the reformation should
be accomplished by the friends OF the
institution. 1t is a noticeable fact
that the friends Of the dispensary are
generally on hand when there is talk
of investigation. They are anxious to
see to it that no enemy shall be vested
with power to call for persons, papers,
etc. Mr.. Blease is commonly regarded
as one Of the staunchest friends the
dispensary management has in the
general assembly.
