only 10 negroes are on our chain.gang, 1t Is for
the citiz en- to take the responsibility Of at
least running the riak OF disorganizlpg the
existing good order and sobriety that the
county and State taxes may be raised from IA
mills to 2OL mills ana the City end State
taxes combined may be raised from IN mills
to 1917 mills.
It is for the people to say, whether the re-
tsultant decentralization incident 70 the clos
Ing OF the dispensary Is worth the cost. OF
course ardent prohibitionists are dreamers In
supposing that the unprecedented will hap
pen In Abbeville. They are perfectly honest.
but they nave refused to learn from our "
past experience. They are perfectly willing
to pay taxes for what they want and may not
hesitate; to vote taxes on their %neighbors for
that which they will never get.

mentioned the butcheries and murders per-

He quotes the: Lancet, which says Eondon

The present movement has drifted from
anti-dispensary into q crusade Tor prohiol'
ton, as witness the pledges so widely circu'
lated. II undertakes to destroy the only
lawful means OF procuring any alcohol bev'
eraee and to ex;inguish the last spark Of free
dom in this respect. 1t inclines me to look
upon the County Diepensary with a forbear-
which Is truly a surprise to myself. For
fifteen years I opposed the Dispensary. But
I was always careful to say publicly and
privately that I was not an orthodox prohi-
bitionists and never claimed to be.
Only recently did l examine the act which
was late In publication. On perusing 1t l
was stultihed TO find 1t so radical and saw
that we faced a new issue. l had been In the
dark, and thinking that others might be,
proceeded to explain the act in an article
which seems to have caused some7stir, Many
we're tying their hands to the advocacy OF
this measure by signing pledges before any
discussion and without knowing fully to
what they were committed. Thus did 1 en-
bark on stormy waters against. not with the

voyages.
There are some who will credit my motives
even though opposed to :my views. To such
I would suggest that the disgust and revolt
OF your feelings against the State Dlspensary
system may be used to put a ring In your
nose. You will hear from those who defend
this law. who perhaps may have framed It,
that the Courts will construe It iull OF holes,
that you will not be bothered for doing what
1t condemns, that 1t means not what 1t says,
that the next legislature will modify ii(how?)
that 1t is invalid In part(which part?) that
you have rights under 1t which 1t processes TO
teke away, that 1t was not meant for you.

Does He Favor long Funerals.

The Anderson Daily Mall, presents the fol
lowing In its editorial columns, from which
we infer that It does not very heartily favor
long funerals:
To those who like interesting reading we
commend the Of the Abbevill Press
and Banner on the funeral OF the late Rev. j.
Lowrle Wilson. D.. D reproduced In another
column OF today'a paper.
We do not pretend to say that we agree
with Editor Wilson's conclusion. Nor. for
that matter. do we pretend to say that we do
not agree with them.
We think, though, that his comments make
lust about the most interesting reading that
we have ever seen In any newspaper, and for
that reason we reproduced them In this
paper.

And this Is not all, appalling as 1t may
seem. The extra tax which sixteen school
districts have voted Is not included In the
above. Besides adding the mills voted, the
closing Of the dispenssry will neoessltate an
increase OF 81 mills in each school district
over and above the amount already voted.
The voting out Of the dispensary being equiv
aient to the voting OF 81 mills additional In
each school district.
In Abbeville the taxpayer will be struck
even harder. The Town having just voted a
bond issue Of S2O.OO0, q special tax Of ~ mills
will be required to pay Interest and d to
the sinking fund.
Including the State, city and school bonds
just Issued, the tax in the city OF Abbeville
will be the enormous sum Of Az mills, or AZ
per cent. on every dollar Of Of taxable prop
erty in the town. And AZ per cent. taxation
is but another way to spell confscation.
or course the present amount Of taxes and
dispensary money need not be 30 much In
the aggregate. For instance: We could neglect
the roads and build fewer bridges. And then
we could reduce the pay OF teachers to the
amount which we paid before We had the dis
~pensafy ~money-S2O q month. An additional
saving could be had By reducing the school
term TO, say. three months
In the town of Abbeville we could reduce
the police force. the cost OF which was 81 100
last year If we have sufficient force to catch
the DRINKS, the trunks and fines might pay
the police.
When people wish to do 80, they can econ
omise. The schools can be stopped, bridges
need not be built. and rough roads would In
crease the business Of the buggy and wagon
trade.
In case OF urgent necessity we could do In
Abbeville as 1t is now proposed TO do in the
prohibition county OF Newberry. namely :
issue $500, 900 worth Of county bonds. to work
roads, build bridges, &C., &c. The great trou-
BILE with the bond scheme, however, Ia In
terest.
AS a rule, the owners OF homes In the
country and in the towns might not object to
having their taxes nearly doubled. If the or
der and sobriety Of the people were CORE.

condition OF Anderson before our eyes, with

When 1t may be attempted to pull the wool
over the eyes of the Taxpayers, 1t should be
done quickly, If success is expected. The peo'
pie are beginning to see where voting out the
dispensary will send their taxes skyward
If the same money Is raised. And those
who remember the prohibition which we had
at Abbeviile some twenty years ago know BY
experience that prohibitory laws are worth
less 80 far as promoting temperance Is con-
cerned.

year $500 gallons. Her blind tigers, we are

Pro And Con.

The prohibition act seems TO have excited
general apprehension. No one has arisen to
dispute that 1t condemns any use Of liquor as
a beverage. There can be DO doubt that like
Mshomet and the Koran, 1t forbids the use OIL
. wine and seeks to cut of every source OF
supply.
In one breath this doctrine is defended, in
another tbs said twas not intended, in an
other that II will be amended. and In an
other that 1t may be violated with impunity
.Ye angels and ministers Of Grace defend Us.
But the clamp ia so tight some relief must
be found. A good deal OF squirming INC
squeezing has already begun, as appears by
the following encounter between Prohibi.
tionists (Pro) and Anti Prohibitionist (Con).
Con points TO the law as 1t is writ and sug-
gests some concern at deliberately breaking
1t, Pro SCOTS at Con for pretending such
mighty regard for the law, and stoutly main
tains that Con can order 1t from Uncle Sam,
after which II might be morally consumed.
He seemstruly solicitous that Con shall be
able to get a., little lawfully. somehow. Con
having read what Judge Harlan and Judge
Sniras OF the us. Supreme Court have said
shakes HE head gloomily.
Sou tuou tdhes ahOlueE lack anu breaks
out: This non sensical law will be violated
far and near and breed a race Of hypocrites''
Pro replies jauntily: We'll. you can't e1-
pect the law to stop all violations. Behold
the law against lying. cheating and. murder.
You cant prevent those offenses entirely,
but you wouldn't repeal these laws. So 1t is
with the use OF liquor which Ia immoral.
Con thinks Pro suffefS a confusion OF ideas on
morals, and suggests that 1t would be well to
have a law prohibiting cards because some
folks get 10 gambling with them.
Con renews the subject by saying This
act surely makes any use OF liquor as a bev-
erage unlawful. 1 could not lawfully have a
bottle Of sherry or madeira in my house, ,

a lawful and an unlawful use OF liquor. That
would be q perfect paradox" Poor Con looks
stumped but he brightens up and rejoins
"How about the law in rega.d to killing?
Does not the law recognize a lawful killing,
which Is self-defense and an unlawful killing
in malice which is murder? Is not there law
