The Kill Jo Kcjical tlio Karuwcll Pro-I liihition ISill'Dcfcalct! in the Sen* ate?The Appropriations*. The bill reported by the judiciary commit* tee to repeal the Parnwell County Prohibitory Act. came up for its second reading, Senator smythe said that it )u?d been introduced at the request of tlie Senator from itaruwcll. The Prohibitory Act had been passed by this body at the instance of the former Senator (l)r. Lartigue) but that gentleman had appeared before the judiciary committee to state that the law had failed and to a*k for its re Jt'ffll. Senator Youmans in supporting the bill based his argument on the inellicaey of the law. There were good people on each side, lie himself had been little interested in the matter, nnd was no partisan, but he had been compelled to take this position. The county was distracted, the law was flagrantly violat<dan.l the aministration of justice was dog-1 ged. What had more effect on his mind than ! anything else was an inspection of the books of the United States internal revenue depart- j ment. It appeared from these records that in 1883, before Prohibition had been decreed, the) United States issued licenses to twenty-three I whiskey dealers in Haruwell County. Jn l-'SI, I after the county has been made "dry" by Act i of the Legislature, twenty-eight United St it-.-s < licenses were Issued, and in the seven months j since last May the issue had increased to thirty-eight. It' was estimated that only onetaird of the whiskey sellers had United States licenses. This was tiie condition of the county. He referred to the failure of the cf-. forts to punish illicit liquor selling. Senator Moody made a red-hot speech in favor of Prohibition, defended it in Haruwell County, praised it in his own and predicted ' Its triumph in a ye;y or two. 11 ?* was quite glowing in his pictures cf the ' peace of Prohibition." Senator Youmans siid that the presence here of opposing delegations numbering twenty-five each would indicate what sort ol! "peace" Prohibition had given HarnweM. Senator Howell made a long argument J against the bill. He read statements and petitions from various town councils and other aggregations of citizens maintaining that the j law had not been a failure. He declared thai 11 of the38 holders of United States licenses had quit selling liquor. He urged that the voice of the people, as expressed by 1,9:X) votes out 2,200 cast at the special election on Prohibition, should not be reversed. It would be very unwise to repeal a law which had done so much good. In answer to a question from Senator Howell, Senator Youmans said that Prohibition had benefited the morals and order of the town of Allendale, but merchants said It had >?wi.linll' mill t!ip value of real estate. Senator Moody entered upon .1 very* glow-! jng nnd emotional sketch of Prohibition, in j the course of which he said, in answer to an inquiry from Senator Sinythe, that lie would j most gladly vote l'or Prohibition for tiiel whole State. On tlie m.it'on to strike out the enacting 1 Avoids of the hill the vote resulted: Yens?Bell, 15obo, C 'ker, Karlo, Field, Ifow- ; ell, Leitner, MeCail. Maxweil, Moody, Munro, Kedfearn, Reynolds, Simmons, Sligii, Smith, Williams and Wiugard?18. Nays?Ben bow, Biemann, Black, Buist, Byrd, Clyburn, Iz'ar, Mnuldin, Moore of Anderson, Moore of Hampton, Patterson, Smythe, Todd, Wallace, Wojdw aid and Youmans?1C. Senator Enrle moved to reconsider the vote j just had and table the motion to reconsider. The vote on this was IS yias, 15 nays, Senator Benbow not voting. The defeat of the bill was something of a ] surprise. It can be attributed to the desire of several "Anti" Senators to let the existing or-j der of things continue without legislative meddling. The lobby was full of Barnwell committee men during the tight. The Prohibitionists are overjoyed at their success. TINKERING AT T1IK AITKOIMJIATION. It was half-past 1 o'clock when the appropriation biil was reached.
