I SENSIBLE REVIEW. MORALS OF BOYS BETTER GUARDED BY.COUNTY OFFICERS THAN BY KEEPERS OF CLUBS AND DIVES. Editor Press and Jiannee: One of ibc most important questions confrontug the people of Abbeville County is whether or not the ditpensary should lie abolished, and by their votes on the 17th of August, the verdict $ill he rendered. In the issue is the irrPHf Mupstion of Ameri 1U.WI.VU O 1 * can policy, individual and natural inalienable rights, morality and finance, and it becomes us in the exercise of our right of suffrage, to calmly' and dispassionately consider whether the abolition of that institution would be conducive to the best interest of the . people. As one who has been a close observer of the workings of so called prohibition and the dispensary, both in Abbeville and elsewhere, the writer unhesitatingly claims that the dispensary is the more effective a^eut for temperance and morality and the best solution of the local whiskey problem. I shall not discuss the question from a political standpoint, but rather as a moral and financial issue. None cau gainsay the great moral influence exerted by the dispensary. Although we have had the institution in our midst for 15 years, yet under its very shadow, over 125 Abbe, ville boys between the ages of 16 and ' 25 years, have grown up sober, industrious, and moral young men, whose character would challenge comparison with those of any prohibition city, while those who drink liquor could be counted on the fingers of one hand What better results could be desired. If opponents of the dispensary think that its abolition means prohibition, they should at once disabuse their minds of hucIi delusions. If they have forgotten the history of Abbeville dnring its period of prohibition, when whiskey could be bad in any quanity or quality, and the club with all its attendeut vices, allured both the old and young, then let them m look at those Counties and States which are now under the reign of so called prohibton. In a receut statement by the mayor of Anderson city, he admits that during the last year under prohibition laws, the express office of that city alone, received 25,000 gallons of whiskey, a few thousand less than was sold by the dispensary when it was last ^n operation in the county. If 25,000 was received by one express office, what must have been the total.amount received by thejdozen or more express offices and railroad stations throughout the county. What is the present condition of the nf fJ-porcia? Tn the annual re port to the government, Revenue Agent James H. Suber, who has supervision of Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, states that duriug the fiscal year closed, and since prohibition went into effect, he found 616 illicit stills in Georgia alone, against 470 in the entire four states duriug the year prior to this. If auy other evidence was needed to prove that prohibition is a failure, the writer could give his observative during a three weeks stay iu Atlanta recently, where whiskey in any quauity aud kind was sold during every day of the week Sunday not excepted. One merchant admitted selling 82 pints af $1 per pt. Then, from a moral standpoint, why abolish the dispensary which minimises and legalizes the sale of whiskey, and substitute iu its stead the illicit and unrestricted sale of poisouous stuff, aud the social club which allures young boys from the family circle to spend their evenings, unknown to their parents, in drinking the dregs of vice. Parents, your boys cannot spend their time in the dispensary, or buy its whiskey. Are the same restrictions thrown around them by the blind tigers and social clubs under, prohibition rule-.' Ah, butyousayas a Christian you are responsible for your vote, and cannot support an institution which sells whiskey. Consistency, thou art a jewel. Are you not guilty of doing the very thing which you disclaim? May Abbeville be an exception to her past prohibition experience, and +K a PAnnfinfj maw nn/1or UillClCUt llWUi tu C VUU11UCO UUU^A prohibition rule. Wiilyou cast your vote to unloose the lion now caged under the strong arm of the law, to prey at will upon tbe young manhood of our county? Surely not. Already efforts are being made to secure halls for the organization of clubs in the event of the abolition of the dispensary. It is necessary to discuss at leogth the financial benefits of tbe dispensary. Facts speak louder than words. Hear the evidence. From tbe School Commissioner office we find tnat the three mills constitutional eives $18,000, that the school funds of the dispensary is $20,000, and that the average of school terms is about eight months. Parents of Abbeville county, are you willing to vote out the dispensary and reduce the school term to four months as it wa9 run prior to the establishment of the dispensary? or, are you willing to double your tax levy to six mills, and .yet have all the evils of whiskey without the profits? From the Auditor's otHce we find that the county levy amounts to approximately $19,000, and the amount from the dispensary for county purposes $20,000. Tax payers of Abbeville county are you willing to vote out the dispensary, and double the tax levy to meet the ordinary county expenses, besides to pay annually, for years to come, an extra tax to meet the indebtedness incurred by the building of tbe new Court House, and the replacing of the bridges washed awuy by freshets of recent months? These are stern realities, and must be met. Prejudice and sentiment should not decide the question. The issue is joined. Is it the dispensary and the legal restriction of whiskey, or prohibition and illegal and unrestricted sale of whiskey ? Is it the diapensaay and long term and low taxes for school, or blind tiger and short term for schools? Is it the dispensary and low taxes for county expenses, or blind tigers and high taxes for county expenses? Is it the dispensary, uplifting the moral character of the younj; by withholding from theru, unde/ the de IIIULIUS U1 JttW, LLltr ililUAIUailU^ doubliDg the leDgth of school terms and paying one-half of the county's indebtedness, or is it the blind tiger under the guise of prohibition, dealing out unchecked and unhampered, the poisonous stuff, without license or revenue to the county to debauch the - the young manhood aud entailing a burden upon the taxpayer? Decide you this day which shall it be. Civis. Pat up your winter clothes and blankets with cedar and lavendar flakes. Much better than camphor balls. For sale al MUford's rug store.
