Jf Columbia Register. tl Mr. A. H. Patterson, of Barnwell, was Id at the city last week. Knowing that he was a firm Irlend of the dispensary law, a reporter for The Register called upon him to get his views as to present conditions and the follow- ^ ing was the result: st "Mr. PattersoD, while you are not now a member of the general assembly, yet as The Register is desirous of knowlDg the sentirnentof the people In regard to the dispen- ul sary law as it now stands will you give us ? your views of it?" "1 am glad that you asked me the question, .t as I am heartily In favor of the dispensary ', law, and I believe that if it ever had friends ' that now is the time for them to speak out, Pf and then I am not one to desert what I be- ,i lleve to be a good law under fire. "The enemies of the dispensary have sys- ? tematicaliy fought it from the time of its creation, and led by some of the dally papers jj of the state, they expeci 10 prracu no iuuc.u. . at the next session of the legislature.

Every Influence and argument will be brought to bear upon the members'i, of the general assenbly between now and during the next session.

The recent senatorial race was a quwti- i tle Ictory of tbe dispensary, for no candidate j >uld have been elected that did not pledge the Imself to support the Tillman-Latimer bill. j8 j pen opposition to the dispensary would have sen the political deatb-kneil of any one of C0l le candidates In the race.

At rea ie time I was strongly in favor of prohibi- ?oi on, and voted lor the Child's bill while in eui le legislature. Since then I have been con- doj Inced that prohibition could not be enforced dis id that the dispensary law under present tnditlons In our state is the best solution of le liquor problem. During the two years lat we had prohibition in Baruwell County was county chairman of the prohibition cm irty, and I must admit that the luw was u , |1C jrfect farce.

Whenever you place the sale of llquot ihands of an Individual whose sole obj o make as great a profit out ot ltas be f ly can, he will violate the law. On itrary, under the dispensary law, you hi nan an dispenser who Is an oflieer of te. He Is responsible to the state for iduct, and If he violates the law his olll< id is chopped off. He is required to t in of good character and temperate. H lply paid a salary for his services, i rretore has no object In persuxdlog and slicing men to buy liquor. He is unde ivy bond for the faithful performance duties and he is ever watched by a st ?rd and by the public. I say the pub :ause there are any number oilmen e ,dy to report any nilsconduct upon his p as to step into his official shoes, and >mles of the dispensary are vigilant wat ;s upon him, so as to bring the law 1 repute. VILE CONCOCTIONS. Another serious objection to high licer Ich concerns the health of our bibuli Izens, is that they would be at the niercj i barkeeper as to the quality of the liqu it they would drink, (or it stands to rea> it the higher the license the poorer tin >r and higher the price. The poor ir uld get meaner liquor and the rich rc uld have to pay more for the liner bran t Is a well known fact that under the n system the vilest stuff was palmed off . nnnr white man and the negro. Uf i other hand, under the dispensary law tlnctlon is made, but all are served all i the law requires that they be furnlsb ,h pure liquors. It is amusing to see those who were a wfc :k lighting the dispensary upon thegrou it It was a monopoly now advocating hi :nse. One is a monopoly by the state i benefit of Its citizens; the other a mon by a few individuals whose sole objec make all the money out of it they c; rally, there is no difference between i te engaging in the sale ot liquor and ving tbe profits therefrom than for it to ve the license fees from saloons. It i )ice between two evils, and I choose I aer. As long as the state engages in tiie salt uors the good features of the dispensi v can be enforced?such as opening a sing at certain hours, not selling less tb ialf-plnt, not selling to minors ordrui Is, or upon election daj'B or Sundays, i awing liquor to be drank upon tbe pre 8, and the Helling for cash. The last irement prevents many a man from bi : liquor that the saloon system does r opt high license, and In a few years al ;se good features of the dispensary law v a dead letter. Our people are not blind to thechan ought in our towns since the ailoptloi ! dispensary law. They have not forgotl it almost every town in the state had f< five barrooms wlih gambling dens atta which ran day and night, aud how you *n aud boys were their chief patrons, thin Is done awuy with under the ilisp y law." LKT THE I.AW STAND. Well, Mr. Patterson, what course do j nk would be best to pursue In regard i law as It now stands?" I think that we should never give up I v unless It becomes absolutely necessa hlnk that It should be rigidly enlorc Lh as to the 'blind tiger' and 'original pa ?s' stores, as well as against the dispenst ery advantage sliou id be tsiken of the 'or il package'stores. No quarter should >wn them, as they are openly violating I ch of this state. I think that It Is a great mistake to ive the constabulary at this time, wh :r may be the advisability of doing so i future. The dispensary Is under (Ire n m every side, and It should not bo wei ?d. Once allow this state to be overr lh 'blind tigers' again (which will be I ;o If the constables are removed,) and II require tiie wneuoiug 01 mwiu u> bui>i>i Mil. So cliitnire should be made in the law ; next legislature, unless to make a 1 leudtnents that may bo necessary fori Ltt-r enforcement of the law. It will le enough to talk about repealing the I :he Tillman-Latimer bill does not pass ? ,'ss and the United States supreme co italns Judge Simon ton's decidons. Th 10 use to anticipate defeat of the Tlllmi tinier bill. I can sco no reason whj mid not pass congress, for It merely a s upon the states what the Wilson bill ided?the control of liquor when it cut 3 state.
