Yet eveythlng around Jc l the public square looked strange to us. Not tt a building was there that we once knew bo well la good old ante-war days. Not a mer- cc chant or business 'man of tbose days was in tbere, and strange names, to ub, appeared re over store doors; and as we stood and gazed pi at tbese changes, memory naturally reverted to tbe days, back in tbe early fifties and later dt when tbe same ground now covered by these is business houses and occupied by strangers were conducted by such substantial mer- Hi obants as White & Bullock, John White, J. in Ab Allen, Robert Wardlaw, Branch <fc Allen, re Wardlaw & Lyon, Henry Kerr.

Atlanta Constitution. <j South Carolina, some time since, reached il le conclusion that It msde a mistake when t( . adopted the dispensary system patterned fter the first Georgia institution of this 11 Ind." * a Now there Is an element In that state deter- p lined to follow again In Georgia's footstep* od Inaugurate, If It can, state-wide prohlbl- a on. g, At a meeting of prohibitionists, held recent- k ' la Columbia, It was determined to force h . ght Jor a state-wide prohibition law, and a 1( >mmlttee was appointed to draw a bill and fc >ok after the matter of getting candidates In ?i ie field. w South Carolina now has twenly-one dry DC >amle?-under local option, and twenty-one 6 i which there tare dispensaries under state rr gulatlon, whlca would mate HI appear that , jbllc sentiment Is about evenly divided. Under these general conditions It has been >termiaed to make the fight and the battle . on. We shall not attempt to advise South Caro- , aa as to what she ought or ought not to do ,? . the matter of changing her present laws j!! gulatlng the sale of liquor, but we may be Jr irdoned, perhaps, for suggesting thfct' It ? ould be well ror the people of ibafcatate and p elr lawmakers to look about them, to la- r: lllarize themselves with present conditions id to profit by the lessons of experience' bere rushing headlong Into an alleged remedy p Mob may prove worse than the evil. Before following Georgia too blindly, It igbt be well, perhaps, lor tbat state to send conservative commission here to study tbe u' leratlons of and tbe actual conditions under ie Georgia prohibition law. 11 It may be safely assumed tbat tbe problbN onlsts of South Carolina do not want a legal avesty on their statute books. It stands' to reason that tbe conservative onlbltlonlstB of no state want to retain U- <n ior without taxation and without regula- " Dn. Before acting, then, it might be well for t >uth < arollna to look Into the operations ol ie Georgia law, particularly in the cities, Id ie moonshlnlng districts and. In fact, some v tbe country counties which are legally dry it actually wet. It might be well, too, for 8ontb Carolina to Ai luslder her own experiences under tbe dls?nsary law and the manner Id which it was ewed and violated in Charleston and otbfcr t ies and sections of the state. We are presenting these facts not for the 3 r pose of discouraging but'ratheW if we may j permitted, of directing the movement, 1n ie bope tbat it will steer clear of the shoals p i which similar energies have too often >ue to wreck. . ^ The law-abiding element everywhere, and yt ' almost every Bhade of opinion upon this _ ibjeot, will welcome the elimination of the K irroom; It has gone from Georgia and It has Q >ne to stay. i g< Soath Carolina has not bad a lagal barroom ? yearn and probably will never have an- & her. v But law and order advocates cannot sanean a travesty that Is weak both In terms id In enforcement. ' tfc If South Carolina, therefore, lis determined di change her present statute on tbe subject? id It may be that It la far from satisfactory it she should be careful not to swap tbe devil iD r a witch.' ot There are ways of getting at things and el .ere are other ways. q And Sooth Carolina has abundant example, b: it b at borne and right upon ber borders, to ot ge ber to proceed cautiously and not to w ake a fool of berself by passing laws tbat mnot be enforced. If she Is satisfied that >r, people will Bland for state prohibition? 1 right, but If she Is In doubt.
