gises for publishing it, we have
not lost orr high estimate OF tEe

strong feeling against Senator
T,llman, not only in Edgeneld,
but all over the State. and prop
erly so, but when it comes to re

people cannot and will not do
that. Therefore, when the false

THERE REMAINS GOOD PICKING on TIE
DIspESSARy GOOSE.

The attorneys for the winding
up commission have succeeded in
getting through the legislature a
measure which will give them
more picking at the funds in the
hands Of the county dispensaries,
they have about milked the State
dispensary dry and now they pro,
pose to Craze in new pastures. II
IS all right to make the concerns
that robbed the State disgourge,
but in doing so, it begins to look
like the collections only breed
another form Of graft. Since the
legislature adjourned Mr.. Fielder
one OF the attorneys from Allan
"a, who is working on q commits
sion basis has sent out orders to
those in charge Of county dispen-
sary funds to turn said fund over
to the State Winding-up Commis,
sion, instead OF paying it to the
parties the counties are owing.
Just what right Mr.. Fielder has
to give these orders, either By
telephone or letter, we cannot
see, if the attorney general can
not attend to the work Of his Of
fee. then he should be provided
with help at home. and not I'M,
port it from Atlanta. The :irm OF
LAWYERS that Mr.. Fielder is con,
nected with has gotten rich from

think it is about time that theiI
services can be dispensed with, sc
that whatever the State can re.

observed, unless the law is en-
forced better than it has been in
the past, prohibition will even
disgust a Prohibitionist. These
spasmodic arrests do not amount
to much more than putting mon
ey into the treasures, but if the
vigilance is Kept up as it should
be. then, even those who are not
Prohibitionists will have more
faith in the professions Of the
Prohibition advocates. so far as
stopping the unlawful sale is con-
cerred. The FrohibitioniStS can.
not be held responsible for not
being able to reduce the consump-
ton of liquor, because the fed

they canno. help the stuff being
shipped into dry territory, the
only thing they can dc is to stop
the stuff being sold after it does

What makes the Herald make

prediction Of one who guesses
correctly more often than he fails:
Thomas G. Mcleod will receive
double as many votes in the COM

It is because Mcleod has always
stood consistently by his convic-
tionS. and has not made enemies

barking with the hounds. And
TOO, his being deserving of pro.
motion for good and faithful SER

Wso ARE TIE STOCKHOLDERS:

There is a prospect now to
learn who are the stockholders
of the Carolina Glass Company,
because suit has been instituted
against it by the windlng-up
commission for S29. 900. and
against the Richland Distillery
for $500, 900. It will be remem-
bered that THE TINES has fre-
quently asked The State Of Co
lumbia to give the public the
names of the stockholders Of this
local glass company, and 50 far
lit has not done so, but when
pressed, claimed that it had pub
lished these names previously,
then it proceeded to get ugly by
calling Us names over the shoul-
ders Of Senator Til!man, and
eulogizing the people who had
stock in a company which it is
alleged by the winding-up com
mission, have robbed the State
out OF thousands Of dollars. We
know nothing Of the merits Of
the charge made against the
owners Of the glass company,
but The State was SO bitter
against others who were charged
by this same commission with
wrong doing, that we thought it
should not discriminate in favor
Of its local thieves but come out
and advocate the punishment Of
all alike. Instead Of adopting
this course it resented the accu-
sation against the local grafters,
and attempted to put them be
fore the world asabove reproach;
any hint to the contrary brought
forth from The State denuncia-
ton. Now lei US know who are
these high-minded men The State
is shielding, and then let Us see
by what Authority the commis-
sion bases its charge against
them.

HAVE a SEPARATE BOX.

This is campaign year and
there will be a maltltude OF as
pirants for Office: in order that
the voters Will be able to select
men in the primary on merit, we
suggest that the Democratic
State convention Grequire the
State Executive Committee to
have placed at each club voting
in the primary. a separate box
wherein the voters may express
their preference between Prohl-
bition and Local Option. Il this
is done, then the gentlemen who
are candidates can go before the
voters on some other issue than
liquor. There is no doubt IN our
mind that the people are hearth
II tired OF hearing the liquor
question discussed, and are also
Of the opinion, that the mird Of
the people is settled upon this
annoying problem. They know
without any further discussion
whether or not they want a
Statewide prohibition law, and,
should they decide in the manner
suggested, to desire Statewide
prohibition, they will say so, and
those who are nominated IN the
in the primary will be pledged
to carry out the expressed wish
iof their constituents, even though
they personally do not agree
with such expression.
It may be argued oy some that
the people in certain counties
have already given expression,
but we do not agree with them,
because in che vote taken when
certain county dispersaries were
voted out, in most cases there
was not a full expression. be-
cause Of the strict requirements
| to vote, many declining to go to
the trouble to secure registra.
ton tickets, but where the ques.
ton is put up TO them in the pri-
mary, every white voter will go
to his club and give his expires
sion in the ballot box, then there
will be no excuse for men noml-
mated for Office to do other than
carry out the instructions from
his people.
Remove the liquor question
from the campaign and the can
didates can discuss questions
looking towards retreuchment
| in the government; they can dis.
cuss matters that will tend TO
further improve our educational
problem, they will also offer
their views OF the tex problem;
none of these important matters
can be properly handled as long
as the liquor question is para
mount, and as long as a candl-
dates position on the whiskey
question IS the only qualification
for office. There is only one way
to get a clear voice Of the people,
that is to provide means, aside
from the personality Of the indi,
vidual candidate, that will speak
in no uncertain way, and in cur
Judgment the placing Of the sep.
arate box by order OF the Demo
cratic conve ntion willaccomplish
