Tbf l = (j ior (jiipsiiou Ihp been the v.'Xed problem which b is been rel ceiving the ti-ue an 1 attention of ihej General Assembly for the past sev-j eral days. X.arly every member, of the Legislature b&3 bad or will have something to say on this sub-^ iect. The bill under discussion in J # I the House is what is known as the Mauldin Local Option bill: The appropriation bill received its ! third reading in the House after, being slightly amended aDd sent to ' o ? J l the Senate. The Senate bill to rogumie me: fees of clerks of court was in such ^ unwiel-Jly shape that it was decided ' to send it to the engrossing depart-, rnent to be repaired before being. brought before the House. ? j Mr. Ashley's bill to reduce the privilege tax to teu cents per ton was continued until next session. The House has fixed February 21 ^ as the day to adjourn sine die. Mr. Dean's bill to regulate the ( pension system passed lis second ( reading. ( Mr. Dukes' bill to regulate the ( sale of domestic wines was continued until the next session. < As the debate on the whisky prob-' lera is somewhat interesting we n i give extracts from some of those who, spoke: Mr. W. L. Mauldin, who intro- \ duced this bill, was the first to begin < on the defensive. He said that the , < liquor problem is a vexed question < All over the State, and especially in the last electiuD. it was and has been i the dominant question. The State I has tot passed upon this question] which so relates to their internal11 affairs to the peace, the order and J sobriety of the people. There is a | 1 4 U A A VV/\A1? tnVii.iVi ic LtlW UU lLlc niaiuir uuun nuivu ic offensive to the manhood of the State .1 This bill only proposes to let thej1 people decide for themselves what is ' best for them. This bill goes direct- j1 ly to the base of the republican form i of government. "Where can there be 1 my objection to it. He wanted the * bill discussed free from any feeling : ] or political bias. Mr. Means said that the bill was, 1 in part, a good one. He would favor . I it if the high license option were! stricken out, and if it were provided i t that there be one commissioner toil I make inspection of the county die-. c pensary. j t The history of prohibition, says { \Ir. W. J. Johnson, is an ignominious i f 'ailure. H^ visited Maine not loDg j igo and found that whisky was being 1 sold there as openly as in the South j Carolina dispensaries. 1 He would necessarily have an enor- J g nous profit to make who would ruD i high license establishment, and ] .hat price would come out of the 1 sockets of the people. Then, too, 1 here would be much violation of the 1 r aw. The dispensary law has encounter- j j ;d more legal obstructions than any J aw ever placed on the statute books 11 if South Carolina. Bat it has run . ' 1! he gauntlet of the court of last ie-!. lort and has been declared constitu-i i r ional. i Mr. May field spoke against Mr.! ^ ilauldin's bill. He desired to sound | he note of warning to the advocates; ! Jj if the dispensary. Each and every i fill on the question is directed: igainst the dispensary law, as may j * >e seen by looking at the names of ^ he respective authors, not one cf vhom is a friend of the dispensary. * ie said that the "prohibition elec- t ion in 1832" was not a proper sound-iv ng of the sentiments of the people.; 8 if such an election were held in an ; I 'off year" there would be seen to be t juite a change in the sentiments of 1 be people, unprejudiced from the c dump. c This question was practically set- 8 led at the last election when all the 1 roters turned out, when all three of L hese questions were brought before hem. The high license went to the t ft. ft- ft- Cj\ /rfc, W ' \ * ?

The pi obi bit ion bill of Mr. McCullou^h is letroactive?obnoxious to both the other factions. To enact that bill into law will be to open drug stores which practically will be blind tigers. Should it become a law, it provides that to purchase liquor a physician's certificate is necessary. For other uses there are no requirements except to sign an application. "Why is it he could not J ^ walk down the streets of Columbia and buy a drink of whisky at 10 o'clock at night.' Because of the prohibition features of the dispensary, and he wanted more prohibition. Yesterday the state board of control bought 700 barrels of whiskey, or 8,400 a year. That is hoodwinking the people of South Carolina who voted for prohibition. Selling 1,100 gallons of liquor every day in the interests of prohibition. If it takes a majority of 10,0'J0 to take one step toward prohibition, how much of a majority would it take to get there. The liquor traffic is the greatest octopus in the country and South Carolina is the centre, drawing in all kinds of damning ii fljences. Evidences of it were seen here on the floor recently. Mr. Efird asked if Mr. Smith could prove that foreign whisky concerns influenced South Carolina elections. Mr. Smith said that it was un- * Qecessary to prove self evident facts 1 r to the intelligent gentlemen. Mr. Sbarpe of Lexington said that be was here to defend a law which Q bad outlived the assaults of the news- ? J papers and the enmity of the courts. We had as well meet these questions squarely. Every one of these sub- ^ stitutes is directed atthatlaw, which iias done more fjr South Carolina g than anv other law. * i ' Did you ever see the tim9 when liquor did not enter into politics," he * said in reply to the charges that dis- * pensary had entered into politics. Tbe dispensary law has done more ^ !or the morals, for the education of k Y the people, than any other. He claimed that the cleanest polices South Cirolina had ever seen 1 lad come since the enaction of the 0 lispensary law. Such a moral insti- v ution why did not the Christian 1 people teach their children to pray or it. * The high license man says that "if a iquor must be sold, let us make a ^ profit." -The dispensary man says I ! a et us get this mmey to support our I ichools. ? Where does the money come from? 1 .'t is like the man who applies the ^ eech to his arm and then abstracts a lis own blood from the leech to en- ' ich his body. * 6 Where does that money come from? . t represents the suffering of the >oor, it represents crime.

Monday no ecsiion c f the general assembly was held >n account of the inclement weather. In the Seuute it was decided to ake up Mr. Archcis bill fust. As imendcd by Mr. Mi} field, it only rcers the question of high license, lo' ? i j.i !il option or dispensary to me peo)le without prescribing the means of :arrying out the election. The orignal bill simply provides a way for a :ounty ridding itself of the dispentary. The motion being made to stiike ?ut the enacting words cf the bill, ilr. Archer began by sayiDg that, as le had before said, the Senate aDd he people of South Carolina have lad this question before them or several months. His bill simply ieeks to amend the dispeussry law n what he considered an important >articular. Under the present dis>ensary law the State board of con rol has the authority to establish lispensaries in every couni.y in the Jtate except those which were prolibited prior to 18D3. After a dispensary was established n a county, no matter how many itizeus wanted it removed, there pas no means of doing so. It was n the power of the board of control o maintain these dispensaries against he will of the people, and he wanted , method by which they could be ;otten rid of. Mr. Barnwell: * * * The dispenary then would instead of being a freat State institution be only a legal nstitution as it wa9 in Athens, Ga., rom which it came to us: or in case , number of counties desired that here should be a board of control purchasing for them it would be horn of its power and deprived of ts political significance. He was opposed to submitting the matter to be people of the whole State as was proposed in the substitute bill of the leuator from AikeD, for it would be btaining no more information than he primary vote had decided on the ist election, and would be binding n no one, besides leading to agita. ion where no results will be accomplished. He was opposed to subr' .ug the question as to dispensary r prohibition alone to the counties, ecause it cut ofi' the people who referred the license system from arrying out their wishes. In many arts of the State the law might be nforced, in others it could not be, | ud therefore it was not a State J I uestioD, but a lower one. Mr. Majfield: The only question finch restraius us in the enforcement i ! f the law. I helped to create, and ave championed the cause of the lispensary when some who are now uude-st iu its praise were "hiding ut." The dispensary has grown strong. j ud great and poweiful, yet were it n hundred fold more strong I would ift my arm to stiike it when it needs >ruDiug. L'.p off a branch here and here?yes, utteily uproot it if it titled the voice of the people < r ought to dominate lhe State. Mr. Ildeitor: Then turning to i he political phase of the question, ie said that the dispensary took the vhiskey power from the very worst dement of politicians. HecoLfesscd hat some power was wielded by lispensary officials. He maintained, lowever, that whiskey always had tud always would have (fleet cn elections and he thought it best that he power should bo in the hands of lispensary officials tbaD exercised by s-prrl nnlitioi.ms. ' ? ~ r Now, a few words about prohi- I Dition, said the speaker. Tbat J vord is actually becoming disgusting j 0 me. I have beard it so much. The J 1 weaker then went on and discussed I * # I ibis solution and thought it WGuld j Drove a failure.
