It was issed in December, 1 8! 2. and took feet July 1. 1SP:{. It provided for io establishment of a State whoU> lie dispensary and sub-dispensaries i all the counties except Marlboro hich the late Senator W. D. Evans [ that county by resolute efforts icceeded in causing to beb exnpted. The constitutionaality of the law as attacked in the State courts. Opisition to the law was intense iroughout the State but it was genally and firmly supported by Sena>r Tillman's faction who were a jcided marjority of the people. In le spring of 181)4 occurred the "Darngton war," as it was popularly cald, which resulted in the kiling id wounding of three or four men ' both factions, resulting in the proamaticn by the Governor that the unties of Darlington and Florence ere in a state of insurrection. About month later the Supreme Court of e State, then composed of Justices mpson, McGown and Pope, declar- j I the law unconstitutional. Mr. Pope I issented. For some weeks following hiskey was retailed freely without cense as there was no license law i existence and the. dispensary law id been held null and votd. In Au List the personnel of the Supreme ourt was changed, the former deslon was reversed. The dispensary stem was again in force. At the >Hsion of the Legislature of 1893 id at subsequent sessions the law nderwent various changes, the es ntial regulative methods of selling itoxicants being retained. In 1895 le constitutional convention incornrated the dispensary plan in the rganic law of the State in n clause hich Senator Tillman has said that e wrote. In 1905 the Brice law, introduced y Senator J. Steele Brice of York, as enacted which permitted county ption as between dispensaries and roliibition, and very soon the disensaries were voted out of numbers f counties especially In the IMedlont section. This was the beginning r the downfall of the State dispen-! iry.
