EDITOR: In reply to your request for my opinion of the Dispensary law I will say: That I think it a good law. While it-is not all that we hoped for it is a long stride in the rigot. direction, and will prove very largely prohibitory of the worst features of wniskey drinking under the present laws. Our representatives deserve our hearty thanks for their earnest effort, which gave ns this when they found they could not give more. G. W. BUSSEY. Parksvil?e, S.C. Alliance Secretary S. B. Mays? I think the Evans'Dispensary Law, although a compromise, much better than prohibition as we have had it with "blind tigers." Also I think it better that the profits or revenue should go into the State and County Treasuries than to the municipalities as heretofore. Ii is also better than high license, because the closing of the bar rooms will do away with many gambling dens which are curses that, although not sb patent to the general or casual observer, are equ?.lly-a3 insidious in undermin ing the habits of our boys and young men. Yours, etc., S. B. MAYS. From Rev. J. B. Tray wick. MR. EDITOR: I. am known asa prohibitionist of prohibitionists, stud yet the morel think of the Dispensary law the- better I am pleased with it. I really believe" that more will be accomplished in the line of prohibition by its enforcement than by the prohibition bill offered in the House. My reasons are : 1. There are better prospects avery way for its enforcement throughout the State than any prohibition measure. 2. Under any measure it would oe necessary to have persons au ;horir.ed to sell spirituous, liquors :or chemical and medical uses? Jhder the Dispensary law none mt the pUrest will be sold for ihese purposes. 3. The Dispensary law by clos ng the bar-rooms with their gilded ittractions making it impossible cr minors and inebriates to pro jure liquor, secures prohibition on rrey important lines. 1 really be ieve that by the rigid enforce nent of this law drunkenness will lisappear from South Carolina lociety. ' As to the hue and' cry r?ised by ume of the .papers, that- it will jreak up the legitimate business 4 quite a"number of South Caro ina's citizens, these editors forget hat the whiskey men for genera ions have been wrecking the for unes and ruining the happy homes >f countless thousands. In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I be ieve that every loyal and patriotic itizen will support the authori ies in the enforcement of this law. Very truly yours, J. B. TRAYWICK. Batesburg, S. C. From Kev. A. B. Watson. MR. EDITOR: You ask for?brief xpression of my opinion with eferenceto the Dispensary law. iel ie vi ng as I do, and as my huroh does, in straight-out pro tibition as a principle, I cannot ccept this law - as meeting ray inal hope as to the liquor traffic, ?trictly speaking, we will not have ut-aud-out prohibition, but that ,-hich is close akin to it, the aboli ion of that "breathing hole of lell," the one foe to the poor man nd tl^o unsuspecting boy-the ?rty saloon. This law is the out ouie of the prohibition movement ust as every law is that looks to. he mitigation of the evils ot Iram-drinking. Liqueur men ure ?pposedtoany legislation what ver on tfee auDieot. ?ufther, I believe it will secure he further agitation and discus ion of the whole subject. Nothing linders the accomplishment of ny reform more than apathy an^ ndifference. It will compel m~QJft va enquire, o think, to, ?Uaeuss, and thus Be nje, tfee ventilation of the whole tuestion by tho press, the platform, ,nd the pulpit. The liquor cause rill always go down in any fair ,nd honorable conflict w.ii^ reason ,nd righteou^as?, ^a. employment of moral, sua ioi will no,t be abated,, b.u?t in ?nsified by this measure. Indeed 3ga,? suasion is but an element of n?rat sujasion. Legislation, should lot only r??e?tx bu> ft should also, o a large extend iead and reform mbliQ sentiment. \y?o. question.?* the statement hat the abolition of slavery by aw has accomplished a wondrous :hange in the public conscience kith reference thereto? And also ith reference to lotteries and cly gamy, legislation in advance i public sentiment, has done mrvelous things. I might sa^ mch more in favor of this*" re as a step forward.^*' _vg? onestly and fear>- V? i(. be nd:in_my ^ .?sly enforced, .1x9** little judgment it wilt* ' ->~lJ mitigate the* terrible ' . . of the rum curse. Of course overy honorable and patriotic cit izen, will'give it his undivided sup port so long as it remains upon the statute books. A. B. WATSON. Edgefield, S. C., Jan. 16, '93. From Rev. T. G. Herbert MB. EDITOR : You ask me what my opinion is as to the recent bill passed by the Legislature regu lating the sale of spirituous liquors. 1st. Some features I like much, and first and greatly that feature which-closes tlie bar-rooms. This is an immense gain over anything Bv?r done before by our law-makerp. You maysay what you please, but if this law is carried out strictly the bar-keepers' occupation will be gone. I see by the papers that eleven of them have gone out of this, dreadful business already in Dolumbia. It will be an immense gain .to putt out forty or more 3aloons and have but three dis pensaries in jiur capital city-and ao package to be broken in them md no solicitations to come in md drink-no gilding, and warro ng, and gambling, with treats all iround. As I understand it, under this aw these dispensaries are to be closed at night and no spirits to se had on Sunday-no .induce nent to keep open nights and Sun lays. This will be a wonderful mprovement on the present plan. 2nd. I do not like the revenue feature, nor that feature of the )ill that seems to put us all into he same boat, making us all par ies to sale of spirits. . I think the right way to regulate a tiger 'whether he be blind or with two langerou8 eyes} is to take his tail )f? just behind his ears. I believe in prohibition (with a )ig P). simple and out and out. I fish we could not get the danger ie remedy even for snake bites. Vhere one is killed by the bite of .' snake ten thousand die from whiskey. Yet as a reasonabl? prohi >irion i s 11 favor and encourage ai.d auction everything that looks in he direction of the desired en ri. s** ?nyinfluence I may haya i. r public will be given, as :now how, to the strictest cai. ut of the plans of the -Evans Yours truly, T. G. HERBERT. . Johnston, S. C. From Hon. W. H. Yeldell. MR. EDITOR: During the last ession of the Legislature I was ne of a special committee that pent several days and nights in ?reparing and perfecting a prohi lition bill, and for this bill I both rorked and voted ; first, because I ras a prohibitionist from princi pe, and secondlv, because the peo ple of South Carolina demanded k. But, Mr. Editor, while I am n favor of prohibition I am not o extreme as to demand prohib? ion or nothing. Absolute prohi 'ition may be best in the abstract, ut at this time it may not be prac icable, hence, I believe the Evans ispensarv. plan to be the golden lean, and to be the solution, at his juncture, of this great,ques ion. It is true that it is not pro [ibition, but its regulations and estrictions if faithfully carried ut will greatly lessen the evil of he liquor traffic and will be a reat step forward for the f jllow ag reasons : In the first place, it buts up the barrooms, those dens f hell with their enticements and llurementB for our boys and oung men. This in itself is oough to command th*1 support f every prohibitionist in this tate. Secondly, it does not interfere ith any prohibition law now of >rce, and before a dispensary can 9 established anywhere it will re uire a. two-thirds vote of the free old voters of the town or ward in hich it is to be located. The ispenser must also be a reputable itizen and an abstainer. Another excellent feature is, the ispenser >s paid a salary and iGrefore will not be personally f pecuniarily interested in the iles and profits. The railroads cannot bring whis ey into the State without the tamp of. the State dispenser. The )wns aa? cities will be controlled a longer hy whiskey dealers? as is ow the case iu nearly every city nd town in the State. Tfoese are some of the many good matures of the law. There are Dgme Qbjectional ones, however, rhieh I will not mention at this ime. But as it will bein opera ion only six months before the legislature meets again all defects an be cured and the law amended oas to meet all legal objections. ; Yours very truly, . W. H.
