Gaffney, Sept. 29.?Senator Otts, who led the fight against the State dispensary in the last session, and/who framed the amendments to make the original Cary-Cothran bill, as passed . by the house, acceptable to the senate, is for* State prohibition He said: "I shall introduce a State prohibition bill at the coming session, but I am u willing to retain the local option feature of allowing any county, which has not voted a dispensary out under the Brice act, or under the Cary-Cothran act, to vote upon the question of selling liquor, upon proj>er petition. I do not believe there will be more than . one or two counties in the whole State ^ that will ever vpib for liquor under such an act. I think it but fair to place the burden of ordering such elections npon the liquor element, and > that the people of the state who are opposed to liquor should have some protection. "Take the decision of the board of canvassers in Chesterfield county the other day. There is a county voting against the sale of liquor by a vote of two to one, yet the will of that majority is being thwarted upon technicalities. Such tactics are but damming up the waters of a prohibition deluge that will sweep the whole State. v \"I am personally opposed to the sale of liquor, either by the State, the county, the municipality, or State licenses. * The idea of profit from the business has been exploded by the experience of the State and will fail as to county dispensaries. You will recall that when the fight was made in Cherokee against the dispensary, we were warnl ed by political prophets that our tax levy would be raised two or three mills, 1 /ana our public schools would be crip- j pled. Yet in the face of that prophecy we have reduced taxes, ana with the aid of special school districts all over the county, we have longer terms and better schools than ever before. L No county can get any permanent profit by dealing out liquor w iwj uuudren. All the liquor profits must come from the pockets of your own citizens, < and every dollar that reaches the county treasury by way of a dispen- ' sary or licensee must cost that county i $10, the other going to wholesale whis- : key houses beyond the limits of the J * .. ?X?S %?Z RY?
