The Florence Times says
'Charleston wants to handle
liquor in her own way" We
should like to know what crime
there is in Charleston wanting a
liquor regulation law best suited
to that city's conditions and en-
vironments? Prohibition will
not be suited to Charleston, nor
was the State Dispensary, neith-
er is the county dispensary. The
only plan for that city is license
to individuals under constitu-
tional restrictions, and that is
all Charleston asks, and IN our
opinion it is what should be
given her.
There is no justice in forcing a
condition upon Charleston Who'll
ly unsuited to her people, a con.

LAW AND ORDER BETTER THAN So
CALLED PROHIBITION.

There was an election held
in Union County on last
Friday to ascertain whether
the voters desired to con-
tinue their prohibition ex-
perience. It will be remembered
that under the Brice Act, Union
county by an overwhelming
majority voted out the dispen-
sary, and for the past two years
it has been a prohibition county,
but the sale and consumption of
LIQUOR did not cease, nor did it
diminish to any appreciate ex-
tent. The dissatisfaction was
great, the prohibition element
who will not listen to practical
reason desired to continue keep
ing out the legalized sale of H.
quor regardless of the baneful
results of g. disregard for law;
the more conservative prohibi-
tion element, while opposed to
the sale of liquor, took the posi-
tion, if the prohibition law is
not enforced. it is far bet
ter to have the liquor sold in
a lawful manner, realizing, that
otherwise the prohibitionists are
unconsciously lending themselve
to aid the breakers of laws.
Then there was another element
who all along advocated the sale
Of liquor under the present law.
The issue was made, the prohi-
bition Missionaries organized the
women and children all over
Union County, and led by some
of the preachers, they had fre-
quent meetings, got up whole
lot Of excitement and, on the day
of election under the leadership
Of the preachers. with banners
flying they paraded the streets
singing hymns, and working
with might and main for their
cause, but when the poilsclosed,
and the result was announced the
dispensary won by small ma
iority, eleven votes. but the dis
pensary victory was q greet ore,

the sale of liquor. and then let
the enforcement of the law take
care of itself, with the result
that whiskey flowed freely and
the lawless element virtually
had free license. The men Of
practical minds, notwithstanding
they believein prohibition, said it
was utter folly to endeavor to
maintain a theory that by it's op-
Grafton was doing harm, joined
those who favored the dispense
ry and put a stop to the pretense
of prohibition.
We do not believe the demon
strations by the preachers,
women and children helped
the cause; they may have
succeeded in driving few
weak-kneed men into voting their
way, but they drove more votes
away.
If there is a thing an American
citizen is jealous of, tits his right
to vote as his judgment dictates,
and when his voting rights are
intruded upon by the means,
groans, pleadings and tears Of a
lot Of fanatical men and women,
it is regarded a reflection upon
his manhood and he resents it.
It is deplorable that in South
Carolina women and children
should be used at the polls to in
fuence votes, such tactics are
common in Kansas, where long
haired men and whistling women
are the product of fanaticism,
but in South Carolina where
woman is regarded as sacred. it
is to be regretted, and we hope
that IN future. the women Of Car.
olina will remember their digni-
ty aad stay away from the cleo
ton polls.
TIE sincere prohibltionist is
deserving of every respect, butas
long as this liquor question is to
be handled at the polls by men,
let the women leave it untram.
melled to them. If this is done
we are satisfied the cause Of tenn
pera nee Will not suffer.
In every cause for the moral
uplifting Of a community, women
can 80 good, but their work
must oe, to accomplish good re-
suits done in a womanly way.
They can use their wholesome
influence in the home: the
church, in their social gather
ings. They can discourage the
attentions of the man whose
breath stinks with liquor, and
there are many ways where
women'can be q potent force in
the cause Of temperance, with
out losing her womanly dignity,
and making herself a mark Of
derison. The woman who
labors for good in a womanIy
way is respected as queen,
even by those who are arrayed
Oh the opposite side, and the
woman who neglects home and
children and is conspicuous in
public places; becomes an object
Of disgust. We do not agree
with the prohibition view, but
we believe IN temperance, and

Of Their Wedding Day

PORTLAND, Mich. Dec 23.-Mr
and Mrs. George Dinsmore are tC
have a gathering OF relatives at ther
fine home on Tuesday next to celebrate
their fftieth wedding anniversary
Conditions are different now and the
golden wedding will be attended with
more evidences OF prosperity than was
the start half century ago.
George Dinsmore and Ellen Scott
were married In house which stood
directly back of the Hotel Divine OF
today. 1t was not an imposing struc-
ture, but good for those days. and
Justin Scott. the brides father, was
hospitable. There were no fancy flow
ers. no full dress suits and none OF
the rich gowns OF the present age.
The groom did not place a diamond
ring on the finger OF his bride, and
II was not because diamonds were
unknown at that period. either. His
salary OF 75 cents per day had not per-
mitted the accumulation OF gems OF
any sort, except the one who stood by
his side and answered yes" 10 every

After Is months as a miller. In the
old Newman mill, Mr.. Dinsmore went
on the farm, now owned by Jason
ID. Woodbury., and there the couple
began TO prosper. Ten years after
their marriage two healthy sons ar
rived simultaneously. and have lived
close TO their parents ever since,
though both now have families OF
their own
The boys were full OF days works
and Mr.. and Mrs. Dinsmore were glad
to discover that they did not care
10 get far away, so they sold the old
farm and moved on to a larger one,
east OF town. Collectively the boys
and their parents own PAS acres OF as
fine farming land as Is 20 be found
in the county. Adelbert and his fam.
fly live in the big house with their
parents, while Albert and his wife
have a handsome cottage OF their own
not a stones throw away. For years
one purse answered for the whole fam
lily. All helped TO Ali it and each drew
from IL as his needs required. In
the whole country there is not a better
example OF complete family harmony.
