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. They I
are already marshaling their forces and are | h)
determined, If possible, to have the law repealed
before the Tlllrnau-Latimer bill passes |
congress. Every Influence and argument
will be brought to bear upon the members'i,
of the general assenbly between now and
during the next session. Only a few days
ago, the News and Courier addressed the following
questions to the members of the leg-1
k lslatare: ] ce
"Do you think the dispensary law will tii
stand at present ? Ifnot, what is your solution
of the matter 5" et

"The dispensary is by no means dead, and cl)|
lose who think so will find that it Ik a pret- p0)
7 lively cqrpse during the next session 01" nil
?e legislature, and in the campaign of next hit
ear. 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

"What do you think of the prohibition tbe
iovenient now being organized in the flu
ate?" hei
"I think that they are making a great mis- his
ike, ana that if successful, they will realize boi
lat pandemonium will reign in this state bet
ntil the legislature can repeal their law. 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

AS TO HIGH LICENSE. ^
"What do you Ihink of having a high 11- an<
nse law, with the constitutional restrlc- WJ'

"It would mean a victory for the barkeep- ba<
s and a curse to the state. We won Id be ret- t',a

this state would be lost. In a few years 0,y

for experience has taught ut thatth?
loonkeeper will not respect laws that affect 8,a
s pocket-book. We had laws aga Inst Bell- cei
ig to minors, drunkards, selling upon elec- cel
on days and on Sundays, before the dispen- pht
iry law was adopted ; yet they wero violated lef'
ilh impunity. Such a law would not bo en- "
reed, for everybody's business is nobody's J'Q
islness.' If it is almost impossible now, un- lav

would notdo it?
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. Every state in the union will
ercsted In this bill, for what is sauce
nth Carolina is sauce for all of them.
TO KNOCK OUT OUKilXAL PACKAfiKS.
The members of the legislature can bet
:upy tiieir minds between now ami i
xt session in framing a bill that will kn<
t the 'original package' stores Instead
ing side-tracked by the newspapers.
