If the dispensary under the man.
agement of state officers was corrupt,
and everybody in the State who can
read, must at least believe it was,
what reason is there for believing or
even hoping that the county manage
ment will be any better, if as good?
The avenues for graft or unlawful
gain have been increased an hundred
fold, and all the men who are man-
aging this demon r merely ordinary
human beings, and subject to all the
temptations that can be presented by
whiskey dealers all over the country.
There is but one way to handle Whls-
key that will meet the approval of the
Christian people of the State, and that
is to confne it's sales without our bor-

it, and if they do not want it now, the
day is not far distant when they will
not only want but will demand it.

Picnic at Sandy Run.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
There was a nice basket picnic at
MI. T. B. Orders spring or July 18th.
There were about two hundred people
present and all had a delightful out
ing. The ladies had prepared excel
lent baskets for the occasion. A
number of young men came from St.
Matthews, supposedly to speak in the
interest of the new county, but the
crowd was not a new county one, and
it didn't take them long to realize
this fact, hence, they did not speak.
Mr.. Jimmie Wise spoke against the
new county and impressed his hear
ers favorably with his sound argu-
ment against the proposition. MI.
Wise is a very young man, but he is a
most excellent speaker. The major
ity of the voters in this section will
vote against leaving old Lexington
when the time comes to vote.
A large number of ladies were pres
ent which lent pleasure to the day.

Blind Man Threads a Needle,

Among the inmates of the county
home there is an old colored man who
is a very remarkable character in
many respects. He has been an in
mate of the home for more than thirty
years, and, Notwithstanding the fact
that he is totally blind, he makes
himself useful in many ways. His
chief duty is to draw all of the water
that is consumed on the place by man
and beast. The most wonderful of
this old darkey's achievements, how
ever, in his ability to thread a needle
and sew. He cuts his own hair,
shaves himself, threads the needle
and does his own patching. That's
more than most men who have two
good eyes can do.-Edgefeld Adver-
tiser.

Sunday and wrought several thou

excitement that the meeting sent for
a special detachment of police as a

Tillman was making a Characteristic
harangue in which he branded the
doctrine of human equality as a dam

Leonard Brown and several civil war
veterans jumped to their feet and
proclaimed the South Carolinian a
"traitor to his country"

Give Him His Dues.

The Gaffney Ledger says eff Sena-
tor Tillman has ever done anything
that would benefit the people of South
Carolina; has advocated a measure
that was for their good morally or
socially; has ever done aught but
m~isrepresent his section in order that
he might fill his pockets with gold,
we have been unable to discover it,"
How about the navy yard in Char
lesion? The most bitter opponents of
the senator in Charleston concede
that he is entitled to the credit for
getting that magnificent public i'm
provement for the State. We are
sure it is worth a great deal to Char
lesion as well as the whole State.
How about Clemson College and
Winthrop College? Both of these
grand institutions for the education
of our boys and girls are the result of
the movement led by the senator.
We are sure they are for the good of
the people socially and morally.
There is no doubt but that Senator
Tillman is entitled to the credit for
these two grand institutions.
How about the money Senator Till
man saved South Carolina in settling
accounts with the United States,
amounting to over three hundred
thousand dollars. This might not be
Of much benefit to the people socially
or morally, but it helped them out no
little financially. In this transaction
Senator Tillman saved over three
hundred thousand dollars to South
Carolina. We could go on and emu
merate many other good things that
Senator Tillman has done for South
Carolina, but what is the use. 1t
would not convince those who hate
the senator that he has really been a
very useful man to South Carolina
and the south in the senate. The
time will come when Senator Tillman
will be given credit for what he has
done for his State and section. Then
he will rank among the ablest men
that the south sent to the United
States senate Orangeburg Times and
