WHILE the testimony of that fellow
Lanahan is interesting and very likely
true, people who are inclined to make
a hero of the liquor dealer are making
a mistake There is good reason for
believing that Lanahan has spent
thousands and thousands of dollars in
grating dispensary officials and the
best that can be said for him is that
he only quit after it developed that
other houses were willing to pay larger
pullbacks than he was willing to pay.
There are always two sides to bribery
proposition, and the man who gives
the bribe is not a whit better than the
man who takes it. OF course, there
may be something in Mr.. Lanahan's
claim that the reason he could not
meet the offers of the western Jewish
houses was because he was unwilling
to sell such an inferior quality of
on the state; but even that is a ques-
ton. There is just as good reason to
believe that Mr.. Lanahan was not con-
tent with as small a profit as would
satisfy the western Jews. However,
as we have already remarked. Mr..
Lanahan's disgruntlement is a cause
for congratulation. Furthermore, we
are of opinion that the directors will
take a good deal off of Mr.. Lanahan.
He has not only been connected with
dispensary transactions for a long
time: but he is a millionaire we'll able
to take care of himself and to fight re-
venge fully on occasion and there is no
telling how much he can tell, if he
wants to.

1.-THE Rivals" the publication OF
which is commenced today, is well CAL

Farmers generally are we'll up with
their work and in good shape to take

of grain are generally small.
Rev. Dr. Stevenson. The new title
sounds we'll and is in no sense a mis-
fit. Than DR.. Stevenson, there is not
an ADLER or better man in the entire
Associate Reformed church.
Thirty thousand dollars or there
abouts expended on Kings Mountain
battle-ground would make the situation
around there quite interesting, espe-
cially if it could be required that the
monument be erected from native
stone, of which there is an abundance
on the spot.
The packing house revelations ought
to serve as some kind of a stimulus to
our people to raise more beef of their

as fine beef in York county as Is to be
had anywhere in the world, and when
we raise it ourselves we will have a
much better opportunity to know what
we are eating. That will be worth
something.
People living along the various roads
leading out of Yorkville say that there
is less drunkenness than during the
dispensary days. 1t Is rare that they
see a drunk man now. A Yorkville
gentleman who made it his business to
investigate, says that the man Warlick
who attacked Mr.. Thompson recently.
was drunk on liquor that he had
brought from the dispensary at Ches-

No two men in public life in South
Carolina, since the days of &c, when
Wade Hampton was at his best, have
shown more genuine manhood than
has been shown by Messrs. Fraser
Lyon and Neils Christensen in connec-
ton with this dispensary investigation.
Had these gentlemen seen proper they
could have shirked their duty without
losing to a considerable extent the
respect of anybody but themselves.
They had good reason to believe that
in pushing their Investigations they
were in constant danger of assassina-
ton. either at the hands of some guilty
corruptionist or hired tool Of the peo-
pie they have been seeking to uncover.
They have never had reason to believe
that they had the sincere support OF
their colleagues on the committee;
but they have never given an intima-
ton even that they were aware of the
fact. They have gotten close to the
bottom of rottenness that few of the
best informed people in the state could
have uncovered and through 1t all they
have borne themselves as calm, cool,
deliberate high-minded South Carolina
gentlemen. South Carolina has need
of men like this, and while there is no
reason to believe that either of these
two are seeking personal advancement,
we take leave to venture the predic-
tion here and now that both of these
men will some day take positions as
high as have been reached by the best
that the state has yet produced.

Kings Mountain street, was Destroy

morning. The alarm was sounded at
about Ais o'clock and the firemen an

ready made considerable progress and
very little could be done toward saw

loss was in the neighborhood Of $500
and the insurance was 1925. TWO
horses were more or less painfully
scorched and several pigs were killed.
There is no definite information as to

- Chief of Police j. l.. Sanders has
rendered his resignation to take effect
at the end of the present month, hav-
ing been induced to do so by the offer
of a much better position with the
Yorkville Banking and Mercantile
company. The council has not yet ac-
cepted the resignation and will hardly
do so II it can come to an understand
ing with Mr.. Sanders. Mr. Sanders
has made himself almost invaluable to
the town during the time he has held
the position Of policeman and has done
much to hold would-be offenders In
terror of the law. There is no question
Of the fact that he has done more for
the enforcement Of prohibition In
Yorkville than. any other policeman
who has ever been on duty in the
town.

fore leaving home 1 tried to distin-
guish between Democracy and what
can properly be called socialism. De-
mocracy recognizes competition as le-
gitimate and tries 70 protect principle
from attack. Socialism sees compe-
tition as an evil to be eliminated by
public ownership and the operating of
all means of production. While this
distinction between Democracy and
socialism should not be overlooked,
the Democratic platform must be one
of progress and reform and not mere
ly one of opposition to the Republican
policies of socialistic ideas" Mr..
Bryan will visit several other coun-
tries and then sail for America August
