Maike le gisy ;e'thy withi Foley's Kid THlE DISPENSARY ARRAIGNED 1 A Statement Issued in Anderson a to the Law Governing the Situation The central prohibition com mittee of Anderson has issue( the following address: To the Voters of Anderson Coun ty: You are to have a chance to ex press yourself for or against the South Carolina liquor dispen. sary. There is to be no excite ment, no beating of drums, and blowing of trumpets, but there is a qiet, steady determination up. on the part of our citizens tc bring this institution to the bai of public opinion. It was promised that the dis pensary was to be a "great moral institution." Has it met that ex pectation fairly? It was promised that it would greatly reduce the sale of liquor, and many of us believed it, and determined to give it a fair trial. We are not pleased with results. We are not pleased that the consumption of legalized poison should. have increased every year until it last Tear reached the enor mous total~ of $3,500,000, and that dispensary officials have reached the point, as the daily papers recently reported, where 7y pw refuse to give out infor 1mation aa o how Mph pf the stutd they do sell. It was promised that the rever nue accuing from the dispensary would greatly reduce taxes. It has not done so. The tax rate in this county has almost doubled since the dispensary has been in 0vogue, notwithstanding the fact 1 that the assessment has been raised from $6,000.000 to $11,000, 09 dyiring the same period. The assessmnent throyhgo4t the State has been increased propor, tionately, yet the rate for State purposes is higher in this year of grace 1905 than it has been for 15 years, while the deficit in the State treasury is greater than it liar eep or ay:T years.* It is Ievident, then, ?bt as @pp sary as a means of revenue 'hag been a stupendous failure. We are not pleased that beer shops or additional salesrooms havp ee; grafted on to the sys tem-_i n vio1jztigr of lpW, s nany think-i4 oy~eT phap typ peceigpt? of the zoral in.stitypipn pijg' bp inoaased abnd the volimu OV "bsi I nEss grow, We are not ph6 ased that tha liquor dispensers, officers of this State, solemnly sworn to observe and uphold the law, should open ly and flagrantly violate the law, reqjiirr from purechasers "writ ten requ6stSeGr li goTg fo fear that the sale of liq or's 'migh't go reduced, as the law intended that it should be. We are not pleased that the osegr wgog wg have put in charge or the dispajy ja gg that the law is enforced, shoolaI think that we put them there to -va~ commercial venture-to :o dollars for a proud State at en~ ~ se of citizenship-to 'push he630o pions liquors among her youngi men ang an1 among. the helpless victims of fatal habit, and to fatten the Stats's treasury at the cost of those whom the State should be S"os solicitous to protect. SWe' e g4 eleas ed that men should ' mor 6 d e'lg spgg "jobs" or p'ositionl on tli'eStt board of control in Cohiibi ' t 'N40 a year than they "seek thie Govegershin of this proud "com mon ea'th, angrgioyp egerily thja they seesi tes in ggQD regg And we regard it as most sig nificant that those wvho were friendliest, those who hoped most from the dispensary as a regula ''irn masure, cannot longer avoid p)uere and are beig Dge goa mit that the institution reeks with corrupt'ion and lawlessness and that the experiment has fail 'Lrg.e, y'e & t a li:tle income fron the diispps. M3t at wiat a .cost' We out i tens pi th4opsajgs to drQogthlmdreds; we havye expenses and heavier taxes every year; we give our young men, at great econoalic loss, to the de mon of drink; and, worst of all, we make our mother State the e;t t fy.rish to thgmn the uJieans of debaulchfng their ,hr aters and dest'roying their souls. Some say that Anderson coun tv "will not enforce" a prohibl tion law. They enforce it in Marlboro; can we not do as well I a Marlboro? The Charlotte News, a week ago, showed how well they are enforcing it there; is public sentiment in Anderscn county 2ot as enlightened as it is in Mecklenburg? Our neigh bors tell us that itis well enforced in many counties in Georgia, and we do not believe that the moral atmosphere and the standard of citizenship in this county is in ferior to that of any counties in our sister State. In Marlboro county the first convicted "blind tiger" keeper was promptly fined $400. He moved to another town and opened up again. He was prompt ly convicted again and fined $500, when he quit the business in disgust. Anderson county will profit by her example. Let us all, at the very begin ning of this movement, pledge ourselves, as this committee does," to do our full duty in enforcing the law when we get it. Certain citizens fear that to disturb the existing conditionsl is to take a step towards "high license" and open barrooms. They need never fear that a South Carolina legislature will disregard the expressed wish of the voters in any county; and public sentiment, in this county, has advanced too far for open barrooms to ever again be a real menace here. Furthermore, the advoc4tes of "high lipensp" in the legislature will find themselves 1 solidly opposed, not only by the present advocates of prohibition, but also by the upholders of the t dispensary system; and they would be doomed in advance to a worse defeat than that which now awaits the dispensary. And, finally, under the present eon- 1 stitutional provisions, the muni cipal authorities cannot license, ad t p legis~lat re pannot authorize them to license, the sale of liquor-and it takes a two-thirds vote of the legislature to su'mit a proposed amendment of the constitution to the people and a majority vote of people and legislature to pass it. we qpepl, tLhergfoye, to the men and women of Anderson county to move in this matter, and to keep moving, until we have reached the 6nly right solu- I tion; to consider the matter pAlmly, earnestly and carefully, 4p4 Wifh ifnIs sigRglp tp the mor4l w0lfre Af their coantry, to do their daty i this matter iP the fear of (Jo4.
