DISPENSARY AMENDMENTS.
. 'Doubtless the legislature will be
called upon at this session to consider
measures dealing with the dispone
try system of controlling the
sale of whisky. It is in more aepec.s
ithau one the most important matter
which wiil come up during the present
session of the Legislature, and one
that will be most hotly contested and
stubbornly fought. It will be remem
bered that the only issue, aside from
the endorsement of the administration
of Governor Ellerbe, duiiDg the last
campaign, was the question as to the
best means of controlling the sale of
whisky. The proposition was threefold?F.rst,
could the evil of whisky
drinking be better curtailed through
the proper enforcement of the dispensary
system under State control, with
t le law amended and its restrictions
m more rigorously and properly en
forced? Second, would the cause of
morality and sobriety bo better
T subserved by establishing drug
I store dispensaries with an attempt
t to restrict the sale of whisky to the
Im purposes of medicinal, scientific, me
H chanical, and sacramental uses, if
V 3oa pleasf; or whether the revenues
of the State could be increased and
the pocket of those who had the
money to pay high for the privilege
of making drunkards of their fellow
citizens and debauching the sons of
^ their friends and neighbors be made
heavier by their ill gotten gains unIder
the high license system? We believe
we have stated the situation
fiiirlr. we hone we have done so at I
j 7 IT - ~
least.
To the first element of the trio we
were allied, not because we approved
or even countenanced the manner in
? which the dispensary has been managed
in the past, but because we saw
in the fundametal principles of the
"dispensary system the only tangible
solution that gives us any hope of
permanent relief from the awful consequences
of the indulgence in the
whisky evil. We knew, a3 did every
""" every other intelligent person, that
[the law has not been enforced as it
should have beeD; that persons in
in high places, on whose shoulders
rested ti^p responsibility of inforcing
the law, have failed to come up
to the requirements of their respon?[
sibility; that men who "gloried in
? their morality and prided themselves
on being law abiding, hugged the
^^fffRshe idea to their bosoms that
P opposition to the dispensary law was
the loftiest test of patriotism aud
the encouragement and protection of
blind tigers was the highest duty of
citizenship, are the prominent reason
why Che law has been so boldly
and so opeDly violated in many instances
bv the worst and most dangerous
element of society.
For these reasons we upheld Govar-nnv
"Rllorho in hispfforfca to restrain
ClUVi W -w
the State Board of Control in assuming
powers not and never intended
to be delegated to them by the Legisative
department of our government
in granting hotel and beer privileges
to responsible as well as irresponsible
persons. It is even more criminal
for trusted officials of the State
. who have sworn to uphold the law
to violate that law as it is for the
private citizen to do so. We sup
pdrted the Governor in his determination
to check the infraction of
the law by whom and wheresoever
committed. We commended him in
employing every instrument at his
command to stop the illicit traffic in
, whisky and we were glad to see that
he was strong and unwaving in his
determination because, for one reason
y .
we wanted the dispensary law to
h^re a fair trial so that it could accomplish
the end3 for which it was
enacted if there was any virtue in it.
Aside from prohibition, pure and
simple, we believe that the dispensary
system, even in all of its present j
imperfection, is the best solution for
the curtailment of the drink habit
and the advancement of the cause of
morality and sobriety. True, the I
system has not accomplished all that
was expected and desired of it by its
sincere and horest friends who desired
to make a chaDge from the old
saloon sv3tem, yet when we consider j
its past mismanagement and the bitter
and unreasonable opposition with
?which it had to contend, we can very
readily see that it has accomplished
a great deal in reducing the use and
sale of whisky. If he be honest and !
really desires light, the careful as I
well as the casual observer is bound
to admit that the dispensary system j
has accomplished a great deal for the
cause of prohibition and is paving the I
'| way for its ultimate enactment,
v That the law needs perfecting, its
most ardent advocates will not den}; '
that the strict enforcement of its re- |
striding clauses devolves largely j
uoon the citizen to make the latf a ;
success is conceded, and that the law !
has been most flagantiy and outragously
violated by some of those connected
with its management for the
sake of profit and position, is admitted.
Our conception of the measures j
Kxammmamammammaarts^tmummmaBBmaa^emam
which the Legislature should adopt
to correct existing evils and prevent
frauds in the future, are to eliminate
the incentive to violate the law both
by the dispensers, who are encouraged
to increase the sale of whisky
to retain their positions as such, and
the citizen, who is induced to sell
whisky for the sake of the money
there is in it, by providing severe
punishment for those who violate the
law. Ia our opinion all rev?nue derived
from the sale of whisky should
be turned into the State treasury to
meet the actual expenses of the
system, both State aod local; then
the salaries of the local disposers
should be fixed by law, not on the
basis of the amount of whisky sold,
but to correspond with the average
? iu. J: .
price paid laoor wnere ice u^peusaij
is located. This, we think, will remove
the incentive of local dispensers
to violate the law to increase the sale
of whisky to make the dispensary a
paying institution and thereby iu
suring his situation, and the surplus,
if any, after pajing all running exexpenses,
equally divided between
the municipalities and the free public
school fund upon a basis agreed
upon by law.- This will have a tendency
to greatly reduce the sale of
whisky, and the improvement in the
sobriety of the people will be the resultant.
When this is done then it becomes
the duty of the moralists and the
Christian to see that there is no infraction
of the law; that blind tigers
are discovered and brought to the
bar of justice to receive the punishment
due their crime. That the restrictions
of the law are faithfully
carried out; that liquor is sold only
between sun rise and sun set; that
an applicant to purchase can be
served but once in a day and in
quantities not ies3 than ha'f a pint
nor more than one quart; that the
goods shall be pure and of full measure;
that it is not sold to minors,
habitual drunkards or intoxicated
persons, but for the own personal
use of the applicant, and that
whenever a dispenser has reasonable
grounds of belief that intoxcating
liquors are being purchased
by a person for illicit purposes, for
instance by frequency and quantity
purchased, he shall black list the
suspected person, and report the facts
to a law officer; that the signing of
faticious names to the request to purchase
shall not be permitted under
any circumstance. If all the prohibitionists,
the Christians and the
moralist in the State would join in
a united effort to have these reforms
enforced, the day would not
be far distant when Alcohol will be
dethroned and the glorious banner
of absolute prohibition triumphantly
wave over^ the redeemed dominion
and a happy people.
L xington makes her most graceful
and prettist bow to the Legislature
cf South Carolina in recognition
of the honor conferred upon
ter in electing Colonel D. J. Griffith
Superintendent of the Peniten:
tiary. Knowing the man as intimate
a ?I
as we ao, we are baiibutru iuau uu
act of his will ever cause those who
supported him to regret for one moment
having do" e so. He will make
an efficient officer and give the State
clear and clean administration,
and one that will be a record of
honor to himself and the State. All
Lexington is rejoicing over his election.
The condition of affairs in the
Philippine islands is very critical and
the relations between the Americans
and the Filipinos are strained almost
to the point of rupture and there is
no telling what a day may bring
forth. The latest advices from there
recounts the narrow escape from a
bloody encounter between the contending
forces, the detals of which
are as follows: "The Americans and
the Filipinos were probably nearer a
conflict on January 21st, than at any
time since the occupation. Fortunately,
the matter was amicably adjusted.
A Filipino lieutenant, imagining
that bis men had been insulted
by some American troops, marched a
company of 40 armed natives to the
line of the Americans, and the sentries,
40 in number, back of the regiment,
in obedience to orders, were
compelled to retire to the outpost in
order to avoid trouble. As the Filir?inn
disoheved the command to halt.
deployed in the canebrake, and assumed
a determined, threatening
attitude, Lt. Jansen, who was in command
of the post, telegraphed to the
brigade headquarters, and General
Otis personally investigated the matter.
The Filipino lieutenant was
excited and Gen. Otis insisted upon
interviewing bis superior officer. Consequently
the Filipino captain was
summoned and he was found to be
also excited. As a result of the conference
he admitted that the Filipino j
lieutenant had exceeded hi3 author- |
ity. His men were drawn in line, I
saluml, courtesies were exchanged, j
and the Filipinos retired. The inci- j
dent is significant, as it shows the
tendency of Filipino to disregard
pickets, knowing that the Americans
are not ready to commence Lostili- !
ties, and it also demonstrates the i
daDger of irresponsible junior officers j
of the Filipino army precipitating j
trouble at any moment.
Senator Tillman has gi':eu notice
of his intention to offer an amendment
to the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill giving soldiers
in the war with Spain the same
preference in the matter of appointment
in the executive officers of the
government that is now given to the
ex-soldiers of the civil war. This is
a just measure which bears on its
face the stamp of justice and equity
and should become a law. Bat as
the South is interested in the benefits
of the bill we greatly fear that Senator
Tillman's amendment will go no
further than the President's desk.
We are informed that "there are
good reasons for believing that the
German government regards the
maiutenace of cordial relations with
Great Britian and the United States
uc fjr rnnru imnn't.mt, than even
UO tut LUVA V V - ?
German commercial interests in
Samoa. Tbe tone of the leading
journals, therefore, is on the whole,
free from bitterness or exaggeration.
In a word, there are maDy indica
tions that Germany will not frustrate
a revision of the treaty of Berlin by
extravagant demands 6uch as for the
cession of islands to G^rmarfy."'
The United States Cuban evacuation
commission has been dissolved
and its members submitted to the
President, the Secretary of State and
the Secretary of War a report on
their labors. The report makes no
references #> the future government
of the island and embodies no political
recommendations whatever, consisting
practically of a record of its
proceedings, with the voluminous
correspondence passing between it,
the Spanish commission and the administration
at Washington.
