A special from Columbia to tbe ' Greenville News makes the following 11 announcement. ti "In tbe House tbis morning Mr. a Tatum offered a substitute dispensary n bill, prepared by the committee to take the place of the one first offered. It provides for the election of a State e board of control and to further regulate the sale, use and disposition of ?. alcoholic liquors and to provide further penalties. Stripped of al 11 egislative verbiage, the bill means that if J any county shall vote for prohibition p it must pay a special tax for the en- c forcement of the law, which is simply d another way of forcing all sections to to patronize the dispensary." The State also contained the following comment: "Two important liquor bills were presented in the house yesterday. One of these came in the nature ofp committee report. Mr. Peurifoy of Saluda had introduced a bill permitting the people of a community or of a county to vote a dispensary or dispensaries out of the community. ' The committee on dispensary, through Mr. Tatum as chairman, brought in a substitute bill which is Mr. Peurifoy's, with the added provision that in counties in which there are no dispensaries and in counties voting the dispensaries out there shall be a tax of one-half of one mill to pay the costs of the constabulary in enforcing the law. 1 A prominent legislator stated yester- j, day that the substitute bad been prepared by Mr. J. L. Williams, chairman of the directors." * Upon which the Greenwood Journal t remarks: Was there ever such a high handed piece of legislation proposed ? It sim- ^ ply means that the advocates and supporters of the dispensary intend to force their curse upon any community c that they can, and when they^can not then they will make those who re- c pudiate the curse pay for it. This is enough to arouse the spirit that kindled the fires of liberty iD the hearts of our ^ forefathers. Will the people of South Carolina be forced in any such way. ^ Is South Caroliua auy longer the land of the free and the brave? It-seems not. The dispensary and the whiskey o business has assumed 6uch proportions that it defies liberty and all that is dear to a free people. .

Gary read an ^ essay on Andrew Johnson, in which . he expessed adminatlon. for Johnson's efforts in bebalfof the South. Being in authority in troublous times President 1 Johnson found his southern frieods exacting and his Northern political associates intolerants. Mr. Harden who is always an intertalkersaid he remembered President Johnson very pleasantly because of the parben which he granted to his father after the war. Mr. Parker spoke pleasantly of tbe essay and remarked upon tbe wonderful success of the ex-tailor at Abbeville. Andrew Johnson one occunied a tailor shop on the lot where Mr. R. M. Hill now does business. Rev. Mr. Friend, who was an honored guest of the club for that evening, made an interesting talk, and expressed his high appreciation of the excellent essay, He hoped to see it published in the newspapers. The historical facts recited made it worthy of a place in the newspapers. After a general discussion, in which many others participated, the club was invited to the dining hall, where refreshments were served. m m ProgreNN of the War at a Glance.
