He ?va^ not able to say if thore wan renough moral sentiment to have >/prohibition. If elected, ho would 4al the vote for governor, as a 60 ^as<. /or his action. As to his ^ irceoid, as a member of the Legis- ^ iat ore, it was known by his con- I slifucots and needed no defense.

Ho j d he stands for pure prohibi- | n, and South Carolina has no I jht to traduce her citizens by ^ \ nning a bar room in the shape t a dispensary. Some tell you ( 0 dispensary is the best tiling u can set, but don't believe it til you have once tried prohi-i1 don.
