The DispenaarY,

Tue Hous has passed what is called the
Morgan Bill" against The dispensary. 1t re-
mains in doubt as TO whether the Senat will
pass II.
The passage OF the Morgan Bill" may be
c%onsidered as a distinct victory for the liquor
elemeni. The liquor element is strongly OPP
posed to the dispenssry. because OF It's re-
strictions on the ssle Of liquor. This ele'
ment, rein forced by a few prohibitionists
lave gained their point In the House Of Re-
representatives.. While We are sorry for any
act which is against the ~dispensary. we are
Democrats and believe in the rule CT the ma
jority. Personally, 1t makes very little diff
terence to us II there was q barroom In every
public section Of every town, will all sorts
of blind tigers hid out the alleys. But the
dispensary gave US prohibition at night ano
regulated Its salss during the day.

II think it is a very nice text upon

certainly feel called upon to oppose
that and a great many other short

that have been transporting in the legis-
lature Of late.
What about the investigating COM
mittee's recent investigation? "That
only exemplifies the need of arousing

bates constant allusion s to the state
~dispensary as that damnable thing on
the Congaree. I want to ask who is
responsible for the management of
the state dispensary? The board of
directors, of course. Who elected the
board of directors? The legislature.
How many of the men who have voted
n the house of representatives to kill
the state ~dispensary voted for the di-
rectors who were responsible for the
label steal? Who appointed the coun.
ty board Of Spartanburg where there
has been the most scandals and cor.
ruption in the local management
The members of the legislature from
Spartanburg. Do these gentlemen in
the legislature imagine the people are
all fools and that they will not next
summer hold to a strict account those
who without instructions from them
presume to destroy the state dispen'

What AbOut Cotton Z

The recent ginners report showed the
amount OF cotton ginned to be about s~.SSO,oOO
bales, which included the ginning Of a week
or more, incorrectly. No one M
the crop Of 1905 at more than 10.500, 900 bales,
at least four million bales less than the crop
Of 1904, and yet prices for the 1904 crop
reached eleven cents per pound, about the
present price.
The bear element Is making the most
determined stand at this time. They have
realized the danger OF allowing the farming
element to fix a price for cotton, and they
simply refuse to buy.
Theodore Price, representing this element
on bullish statistics has hammered prices
Town q cent a pound. Cotton seems to
rave no friend IN the New York Exchange
or rather none with the means to Withstand
bear pressure. One man like Sully well
! supported could advance the price OF cotton
two cents per pound within thirty days, but
alas! there is no "Daniel at court"
What then Is the prospect for an advance
in prices. The only hope lies In a persistent
determination, by the few farmers who are
holding their cotton, to hold 1t regardless OF
consequences. The worst has doubtless
been done and every day until March 18th
makes the position Of the farmer stronger.
Merchants M commission houses have
bought cloth in advance, Of the mills, and
the mills have bought In advance. OF the
cotton brokers, and sooner or later the
actual cotton must be had. At present
( mills that are short are being aided by those
that nave some supply ahead and they are
buying from the open market only from
hand 10 mouth, butthis cannot last always.
II Texas had not partially deserted the
ranks, and 8. $4,000 bales instead of 2,5OO,0 oO
bales were being held by the farmers, the
: fight would have been won. Having placed
ON the market some 100000 bales, however,
the tight 10 only prolonged for the faithful
few.
Letthts fact be ever before you, II you
yield now, the fight is lost, not only now. but
for alllime. II you stand out to the last
every bale You now hold and much more
will be incedequette to supply the mills.
The merchant will not release the mills
as there ia good demand for every yard Of
cloth, Then, when the cotton marketed
shall have been exhausted, which, placing
the normal demandeat not less than 100000
bales should be about March first, where
must the mills look for cotton?
n They can not spin the mythical bales Oh
Wall Street, and before March has passed
ont, II you will hold on, you will be begged
for your cotton at q just price.
II is almost certain that nothing can bt
lost BY holding, except the interest on your
money for a month or more; cotton Is now
At rock bottom prices considering the size Of
the crop. You are liable to make a cent or
two per pound by holding a little longer.
Win yon do II?

The Difference.

The diffe between holding your col.
ton for a higher price n buying futures
may be explained in this way. A farmer
made q good crop one year. After paying ex
pense be had several balessleft on hand. Be-
lieving that the price o fcotton was going up
be placed his cotton in warehouses, and Dor
rowed money on It to buy cotton. The price
went down n all the farmers surplus cot
ton was swallowed in the losses. He had
nothing LETT, except a little balance against
him in the shape Of debts. II that farmer had
kept his cotton, he would have had 1t. and
would nave realized a price for 1t.
To show cotton future is a dangerous bust
ness, 1t Is only necessary to state that the
solid business men of the town are very eau
tious about betting on cotton.

Lame Back.

This ailment is usually caused by
rheumatism of the muscles and may be
cured by applying Chamberlain's Pain
Balm two or three times a day and
rubbing the parts vigorously at each

WEDDING SPEECHES.



Some That We're Not In the Usual
Conversational style.
A wedding in New York ut which the
bridesmaids We're representative CT six
nationalities and each felicitated tie
bride in the language of her own coun-
try was an odd affair, but probably not
so we'll received rs the speech Of 4
young Englishman who was called up
on to propose the toast, THE Brides
maids" Apprscd of his ordeal in ad-
vance, he had devised an escape, and
with the single statement that silence
was golden he brought from his pocket
set of gold bangles, which he bcstow-
ed upon the attendants OF the bride
At wedding feast at Dol, in Nor
mandy, the demand for speech result
ed in the production of a guitar, upon
which the speaker accompanied himself
while he chanted the praises of the
bride. Had he stopped there all would
have been well, but he changed to Il
praise of his store, and the guests
threw him out of the house.
Doubtless similar fate should have
befallen the sharpshooter who wrote
the name Of the bride upon the wall
with pistol bullets, to the serious dam
age of the wall paper. Almost as odd
was the performance OF German mu-
sic hall performer who, when called
upon for entertainment, mounted the
table upon his hands and balanced him
self upon glasses, cups and other fur
nishings.
