W 8?&tor J. C. Otts
For Prohibition.
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

in infancy and afterwards became a j
member of Zion's Evangelical Luth- '
Bran church of which she was a true 1
and faithful member until death. She 1
leaves a father, mother, two sisters, 1
two brothers and a host of other rel- 1
atives and friends to mourn her de- (
parture. He remains were laic^ to *

Dear sister we know that you have j 1
left this world of sin and sorrow and j }
have joined the angels in heaven and *
is now walking the beautiful streets I
:>f Jerusalem, still we can hardly }
realize the fact that we will never 1
meet thee on earth; but if we live a
:rue and faithful life as you have done *
we hope to meet you in heaven. c
Dearest sister thou has left us, J *
Done far beyond the skies; ^
