Mr Butler's rep'y is a follows: ' "I)eur Sir: Ymir It'll or of the 1 2nd of July came while 1 was in r the midst of court, houce my de- ' - lay in answering same. ' i "You ask me how we like it 1 i over in Choroxco county since 1 the dispensary was voted out, 1 and a true statement of the conditions before and since the difl- 1 p? nsaries wero clospd. "It it needless to tell you the condition before The dispensaries were voted out, for conditions are ; s-oraewhat similar where liquor is j 1 sold I may add that wo bad ? three disjien sarins, two liquor and | 1 and oiip boer. and I may also t add that they were conducted by h good men, and in my judgment ' s sold nccotding to the law, but tho : opposition here was not to the , i manner in which otir dispensers conducted tho dispensaries but to ' l effects of the lipuortlnit was sold : Drunkenness could be scon here 1 r almost every day, our police court J 1 was constantly trying cases of i i 'drunk and disorderly,' hut that t has cea*ed and only m rare iiu ' 3 stances can one seo a man under ! < - the intt' once of liquor Our \ ^ criminal courts woro always aug- | . mcntod by the fact that in almost ; I every instance every cane, from j . assault and battery to murder, r t was directly attributed to liquor, i Within one year before the die- 1 s pensancs were voted out, fiva ' 5 wliito men (in three case?) ' were ' 1 - tried for hilling their man, other - white men, and whiskey was 1 back of it all, the direct and controlling cans'*. ' "I might mention other instances of the evil effects of the liquor, bnt every one is familiar with it. But as to the conditions since the dispensary was voted 1 out here: Our police court has not the old familiar ca.-cs of 'drunk and disorderly' to dispose of. It has practicaljy ceased. Our streets are clear of the drunk 8 en, reeling men; our roadways aro free fron. drunken brawls; Our people are happy and have ' more money to spend for something to oat and to woar?in fact the difference is so great and noticeable, and results so beneficial, that any one who has doubts as to the proper way to vote on the question would never hesitate if they could roally see ub as wo really are, hut when the time * cnmo would voto 'no dispensary' 1 and as often as an opportunity * presented itself. In round numB 1 fibers $100 0()o was spent in this . county for liquor annually, and t out of that amount a very small " amount came back to tbo taxpay" ere; so you will aee that, at least, with a very liberal allowance for p purchases that may bo made ?J clsewhore, $95,000 of tho $100,j 000 is here among a sober people. - t\ Miimg moral sentiment of out people, nctivo and vigilant police officer*, magistrates who aid it the enforcement of the laws, u sheriff always determined ?h 'blind tiger' cannot operate in this county any length of time. In short, the moral condition of tmr people is infinitely bettor than it was when wo had the dispensaries "There was one thing noticeable in the vote against tho dispensary, tho largest percentage of tho vote was rust hv tr?? r?*;n - ? J ?l?Brntives and the farmers, and so many Imve told mo since that the beneficial results to them were beyond measure. "The above is a brief statement af rhe conditions here and I feel safe in saying that f if another vota was to be cast on the same subject on similar circumstances, the vote against the dispensary would even bo greater than it was lioro in last November, and then t was ti v? to one. "With good wishes for success n your undertaking, 1 am, "Yours very truly, Thomas I? Butler.''
