East End. i The Evans Dispensary Bill. In the last issue of the Baptist Cour- t icr, Rev. John G. Williams, of Allen- t dale, furnishes the following charac- r teristic letter giving his views of the t Evans Dispensary Bill: ] Dear Bro. Thomas: In reply to f |your note asking my views of the t ("Evans Dispensary bill," I will say p that the bill is going to work well, and v will be largely prohibitory. While it c is not a prohibitory bill, but simply to 8 regulate and restrict the traffic, if its ^ provisions are faithfully carried out it n will be almost a prohibition measure. g It strikes me that there is a great deal ft of prohibition in it. There are some d fpnturPH in the bill, among i( which are the following: n 1st. It does away with bar rooms, n which are the very life aud strength of n the liquor traffic. For this reason I (\ like the bill?that it shuts up the bar fo rooms, the worst of all a country's a curses. 2d. It makes a majority vote of the freeholders of a town necessary before it ran have a dispensary, and this pro- w vision will enable towns to dispense R with dispensaries, where they don't n want them. ^ 3d. The bill puts a stop to the rail- D roads and express companies being * q whiskey carriers, except such as is " ordered from the State dispenser, and ^ this is a damaging blow to aoy attempt c to evade the law. 8 4th. An excellent feature of the bill 11 is that the dispenser is not allowed to ?' sell to a minor, nor any one "addicted to drinking." Those addicted to c drinking to excess are the ones that mostly buy whiskey. ft 5th. The bill kills all those vile lit- rc tie "social clubs" after the maimer of ti the big Columbia club that were * " 41? ftv* rl springing up an uver me uuuuuj iw? -the sale of whiskey, and compos- N ed of negroes and white men and against which we were told that there ^ was no law. Thanks to the Evans bill, there is now a law against them, ti and the mother concern Columbia. There are other excellent feature in the bill, but the mention of the above L ' pi must suffice. What makes me think more favorably of the Evans bill than I otherwise w would perhaps is the deadly hatred and Kl apposition of the whiskey men to it. a - - - - ? . It has stirred tbem ana tney naie h like they do "deadly plzen." Evidently the whiskey men think it is going to hurt the whistcey business, or they wouldn't be in such a rage about it like the "craftsmen" at Ephesus. It | does me good to see bow mad they are. J When I was a boy and used to shoot squirrels in high trees, I always knew that I bad missed.a squirrel if he lay ut still on a limb after I bad shot. But - - - r . when at the crack of the gun ne jump- jr ed up and shook his tail and wiggied d about I knew I had hit him. Tbe Cl Evans bill has bit tbe whiskey men. No doubt of that. I hope the prohibi- c tionists in the State will support the s Evans bill until we can get something [j better. It is far better than the pres- ? euts bar room system. And let all who voted prohibition practice prohi- a bition and not patronize the dispensaries. . b Prohibitionists may congratulate a' themselves on a great victory, ,and that the State is now pledged to practi- j, cal prohibition. Let us work for the success of the Evans bill. Jno. G. Williams. Allendale, 8. C. 1 +4^ + A Refutation. 1 lr V BY MISS EFFIE ELLIS. I admit that cloeing saloons does not stop drinking,.under the present law; but, if the Prohibitionists were strong enough (and the day is coming when they will be) to put in office men who would support them when they closed the saloons, or took down the spreems, the action could not drive drinking to "cover." Men who make laws can see that they are enforced. Who by making place, or person more attractive ever lessened the accompanying temptation, whatever , that temptation t might be ? The saloon keepers have learned this truth as well as we, and 3 are doing all they can to make their places of business attractive as possible. S And are not church people, the society ?J of the day, the different Lodges and all organizations, exerting all in their power to attract meu and women to / their places of meeting? Why look \ around and the answer is self convine'??? TJtt nlnf Vilnrr oin \ n an no 1 IpH decent garb, we make it greater and u not less. When a man wanta a drink does he choose the low filthy bar room instead of the cleauly and beautifully kept saloon? Sin is siu, and we temperance workers must fight it as such. No good can come of substituting one . sin for another. No people who have I the grace of Goii in their hearts would I atteinDt to "elevate" saloons to a place ' which they bave never occupied. There is' no elevation for sin. The people must be educated up to the ] standard of abstinence, or forced by law to abstain. Either method must of I necessity take years of work and I earnest prayer to accomplish. a "Truth is might, and might is e right and right must run the day !" ] i The Good Templars of South Caro lina have fought a manly fight, and are ready for even more aggress.ve i war-fare in the future. But they will wage a goodly warfare, not a time j serving, milk and cider, politic affair. I Many jokes are being passed around as to who are to be "bar-keepers to the Statp niul what, will hfi their statun in I society polite, reflned and Christian- ' : ized. I Never before has the subject of emperance and prohibition been irought so prominently before the ninds of South Carolinians as daring he recent Christmas festivites. The >gi*latuae having had the matter up or consideration, and a "measure" laving been adopted by that body, the leople naturally discussed the subject, ?hen the usual social drihkingcustom ame up for consideration. Some perrons tell us that the way to have prolibition is to "educate the people up to t." Very good, as far as it goes. But reat revolutions do not, and cannot, illow In the wake of the sleepy "stuent of public affairs. Aggressive ?nrlpr?. who do the thinking for the lasses not only mould public sentilent, but frame laws for the governlent 'of the people and then see that hose laws are enforced. Thus it will e, if we ever get prohibition, pure nd simple, in South Carolina. The National Temperance Advocate ays: "About two years ago a Rusian physician of the city of Saraurov * a A* u ? lane Known 10 ine worio a Hpemuc, ? < e claimed, for drunkenness?namely, it rate of strychnia, a remedy now ?ell known to the medical profession, nd even imagined to be the agent in )r.
