MIR. Minick States Views.

Mr.. Editor: Recently there has
been good deal of talk about re-
establishing the dispensary in the
town of Edgefeld. Now whiskey is
a great evil, and I feel sure to re-
establish the dispensary means to
place the town and county in
much worse condition in regards
whiskey drinking. l sincerely trust
that our little town will never again
be disgraced, thrown into disorder
and confusion by the re-establish-
ment of this stuff which is sure to
bring desolation to so many hearts
and homes.
Let us compare the order and
peace of the town to-day with that
of the time when the dispensary ex-
listed. Has not the town, and coun-
ty as we'll, grown better since this
evil was voted out? Is there as much
disorder on the streets on Saturday
afternoons now as then? The coun-
ty is certainly better.
My homei is situated on the Block
er road leading out from Edgefeld.
On the first Monday of every month
one could see the passers by, as they
came along, driving at break-neck-
speed, screaming, cursing and shoot
ing pistols. 1t was dangerous for
ladies and children to travel the
road alone. Now, no such thing oc-
ours as this, nor has since the town
was relieved of the dispensary. If
this evil is re-established it will
stand in our dear little town beck
oning- inviting-as if saying come
one, come all get bottle, and go
to ruin at once"
What will become of our boys,
whose strong, young lives promise
SO much to our country in the future
years, if the whiskey shop is again
brought back to lure them to ruin
both morally, and physically? What
can the men who should live to
make our country cleaner, purer
and better, be thinking of to sit
still, and watch this evil come in
and re-seat itself, bringing with it
in full force, all of those elements
which tend to lower, degrade and
blacken our fair county?
Of course as it now is some whis-
key will be sold; some men persist
in selling it, simply because they
can double their money on the
sales. This cannot be suppressed
entirely just as the law cannot crush
theft and murder entirely, but it is
the duty of every man who has
any love for his home, his coun-
ty or his states welfare, to stand
out boldly against this evil of Ii
quor selling, and to exert all of his
power and einfuence in keeping the
shop from being opened in his town.
To me it seems Unfortunate that
every man in Edgeield county
could not have heard the talks on
this important subject, delivered by
Col. F. N. K. Bailey, and Mr.. K.
T. Strom, at Berea on last Sunday.
They were right to the point, and !
am sure strengthened the resolutions
of those who are fighting whiskey,
and had it's effect on the opposite
side also.
We should act according to our
Christian duty; wake up and rise
to battle with this monster that if

com petition methods. Let us realize
that the dispensary is school for
blind tigers and that in this sort of
education our state stands too near
the top now. We don't need any
more negative education, but we do
need some more positive principle.

Episcopal Rector Denies Report
and Takes a Decided Stand
Against Dispensary.


" give me little space? Some mis-
informed person has taken it upon
himself to start report that the
Episcopal minister in Edgefeld has
signed the dispensary election pc
tition." This is untrue; and in JUS
tiee to myself, m. church, my
friends and my country, I hereby
thank you for the opportunity of
branding the report as false.
Our Saviour once turned water
into wine, as the liquor interests so
often boast, but I am convinced
that the Almighty has no interest
in the sale of liquor in South Caro-
lima to-day, and that no self respect
ing minister of the gospel will give
his support directly or indirectly to
the dispensary election in Edgefeld.
On the other hand, if the signers
of the petitions can legally hold the
election (their rights under the
constitution) as minister / say it,
the friends of the dispepsary know
perfectly well that every minister
in the county will fight it to the
last ditch. l speak confidently for
all Of them.
We will be misjudged of course
when we do speak out against it,
and I have just realized that we are
misjudged when we do not speak
out against it; but whether we do or
do not rush into print, on principle
we are going to give it just as many
and just as hard licks as possible
until the question is settled.
For religions sake, for decency,
for law observance, for honest prog
ress, based on real values, the gos-
pei of Christ does not need the dis
pensary in Edgefeld; and 1 appeal
to the manhood Of this county, to
count these things, as well as the
revenue. please read that SEN
tence again Mr.. Voter.
Please permit me to say further.
As man, ss(and ministers are men
after ally it seems to me that the
advocates of the dispensary in one
other of their arguments are per-
petrating upon themselves mon
strous delusion. They claim that it
will be better than the blind tigers. "
They fatter themselves with the
idea that in 2voting for dispensary
they are putting down blind tigers.
What they really mean is this. They
will go into competition with blind
tigers. The county / mean, will try
to get the blind tigers customers
away from him, with better and
cheaper liquor. A bloodless fight,
peaceable, entirely friendly. And |
ask, where is the manliness in that
sort of fight? Where is the real
honest effort to bring about proper
observance of law in this most
fruitful source OF laWlessness!
When one votes for dispensary on
that argument he is not meeting any
issue or principle fairly, but is run
ming away from the biggest issue
in South Carolina to-day, and that
is lawlessness.
When We think of this real issue
this overwhelming peril, and the
history of the dispensary reeks with
it, then the blind tiger and the local
option election are but incidents,
which will make little difference
either way with the character and
fortune of our people, if we really
do not care.
If we do care, lets clean house
and stop the illegal sale Of liquor
and not encourage it by corporation

allowed to re-seat itself in our
midst, will rob our country of its
goodness, purity and peace and fill
it with filthiness, murder, enjoying
and strife.
Trusting that this evil may not
darken our little town By its re-
appearance.

1rattIeboro High School Defeated United
Schools Of Northampton t4-o In Foot
ball Game Saturday.
The Brattleboro high school football
team opened the season of 1912 brill
liantly on Saturday by scoring a 14-0
victory over the United Schools of
Northampton in the Meadow City. Brat
tleboros backfield was fast and the line
men showed up strongly In making holes
for the runners and In tacking. The
playing was almost entirely in North
amptons territory. Brattleboro lost two
good opportunities to score, the ball be-
ing fumbled once on the eight yard line
and again on the 10-yard line. The first
touchdown was made on a 60-yard run
by Capt. Crosby, who secured the ball
on a. tumble and outsprinted the men
who tried to tackle him. Haskell was
a great ground gamer and Angler and
Wheeler also did good work in advanc-
ing the ball. Brattleboro's play gener-
ally was quick and snappy, Capt. Cros-
by keeping the boys on the alert all the
time. Northampton gained but little dis
lance in rushing the ball and never had
a chance at a touchdown, but was once
near enough to- attempt field goal, the
ball going wide of the mark Babbitt
Of Northampton showed up strongly in
defensive work.
Brattleboro worked the forward pass
successfully three times and made eff
fective use of the line shift play.
