Next Thursday Is the day tor the election in reeowood on the dispensary question. It is ie principal topic of discussion in Greenood at present. I wonld a*k this question: o we need it. do we want it; would it tend > build up Greenwood, either spiritually, lorally, or even financially? I say no. reenwood has kept apace with her sister iwns of the State in everything that go to jlld up a town. Better let well enough one. We hear some say they are opposed to ie dispensary on principal, but would rather ive It than barrooms or blind tigers. Well e hav?* no barrooms; haven't had for a long me, and we can exterminate the tiger If we 111. The fact is. Mr. Editor, I don't believe at Greenwood has any more blind tigers or olators of the dispensary law than any othtown of her size in the State. Why sir, a spensary in a town don't destroy the tiger it is called. It is said by some that If we n get a good man to run it, one who will rry oat the law, that would do away with e objectionable features of the law. If so, tio would tbey sell to? According to law ey cannot sell to drunkards or to a man bo ever gets drunk, nor can they sell to iung men under 21 years of aee. I say who uld they sell to? I admit there are some en who take a drink, and never Ret drnnk. tbey carry out the law would they make iough to pay expenses? Greenwood is ock full of as fine young men as any town the State. We haven't a single one to be crlticed by the preseooe of a dispensay. A inorable young man will not hunt up a low ace called a blind tiger to get whiskey, but you set up a place and call It legal, I fear e consequences. Is there a dispenser in the ate who complies with the law? If so, who he? No, we don't want a dispensary In eenwood; we don't need it: we are getting >pg very well without it. One in a county enough. Some argue that we would get reutie enough to keep up the expenses of b town. That might be true, but we would ther our streets become In the conditlou of b public roads in Abbeville county as to ve a dispensary opened In Greenwood. I Id a dispensary did not destroy the blind :er. I reiterate that statement. It Is a lendid cloak for the tiger. Towns that have spensarles are not watched nor criticised 60 ich as those that haven't a dispensary. Jr. P. S. Dew left Monday forabuslnops p to Marlon county. He will be away sevlI dajs. Valter T.
