Ad Address to the Legislature
The Stato law ami Order Leagu
Want* Certain Changes Made
in the Dispensary law.
Following is the memorial pre
sented by the State league to th
central assemtdv of Smith Cm
n v vw"1" v" *
olina:
The Temperance Law and Or
der League of South Caroliu
respectfully represents to you
honorable body that it is un or
ganization of citi/.eus represent
iag the sentiments of a large elai
of the voters of the State harm
for its object:
1. To render all moral encout
agement and support to the cor
stituted authorities in the onforc<
meut of existing laws, both Stat
and municipal, relating to tli
paaeo and good order of tho com
imiait \.
!2 To render such iodividui
service a* may be practicable an
lawful, in securing and furuUbin
to the proper law officer* fact
and information of violations ?
law to enable them to procet
against tho violators.
3. Bj all lawful means to hoi
tho sworn officers of tho law t
the prompt and faithful diacharc
of their official obligations to tl
public,and by proceedings again;
them for wilful neglect or faiiur
ou their part.
4. Especially to socure a fu
und satisfactory enforcement o
tho dispensary law, both again;thoso
enuraced in nrnhihitnrt tret
fic in intoxicants und those wh
violate the provisions of the la1
while acting us sworn officers n
tho dispensary.
In pursuance of those object
it would respectfully urge upo
tho general assembly to make 11
amendment to the law, common
ly known us tho dispensary law
as will atTord the citizens of an;
community in which a dispeoaar
may be established under th
provisions of the law, tho oppor
tunity to express by ballot thei
wishes for its removal.
We make this appeal for tin
reasons following:
1. Because as the disponsar;
law make* every citizen a stock
holder sharing the profits nn<l li
abilities resulting from the bui
iness as an act of simple justic
they should lie accorded the righ
to end their connection with it i
they so desire.
2. Because there are many com
raunities in the State, we believ
the larger proportion, where dii
pensnries have been established i
opposition to the known aud e>
pressed wish of these communilic
or where through originally ap
proved, the experience of the evil
resulting from the operation o
dispensaries in their midst hn
changed to one of disapproval
and who would gladly avail them
selves of tho means of reinovin
what they reulize to be fin agenc
which is only evil and a prolifi
Bourco of disorderly lawlessne;
and general demoralization.
3. Because the purpose r
legislation should be the roprei
sion of lawlessness and crime, th
imprevement of the moral cor
dition and tlie promotion of th
happiness of the people, an
these purposes would he greatl
promoted by the removal of dit
pensaries from theso communities
4. Because tho recorded fact
as to the conduct of the dispen
sary system shows u huge an
constant increuse in the sale h
the dispensary and conxumptio
of liquors by the people of th
State, and a consequent appallinj
a
increase of crimes of violence and
immorality traceable diiectlv to
this cause.
5 Because the proposed amend,
meat if made would largely do- ^
crca?e the urea in which liquors ^
could be legally sold and the de- ^
tection of violation easier and cn1
. o
' able the constituted lo<zal admin.
NV
istrators of the law to conduct
... U1
? tho more limited business in a .
... tl
manner more consonant with the
pnrpose and intent of tho law.
0. Because the demand for this ,
>- chancre in law is made by the
, o
? Christian church of the State
which cannot ho silent under the ^
exisning condition without sin,
- and which in the muni of her
a communicants appeals to Chi ist ^
r ian legislators for the means of
a
- deliverance from the unholy al- ^
- Imneo in which as a part of the
v
is St lie citizenship they have been
g forced to partipate.
