Has Been an Ignoble Failure is Challenged by g. Mr, L. B, Addy. | DISPENSARY NO BENEFIT I To the voters of Lexington county: In the Dispatch of July 30th, Senator Sharpe addressed a letter to the voters of Lexington county stating * -1 1.3 V- U I Oi wny tne JJi6pensary snouiu ue reesiau- |j|< lished in the county, and urged the ^ people to vote for its reestablishment. Fir9t, he claims that prohibition has Ta been an ignoble failure; second, that __ the county is in debt; third, that the roads are in bad shape. Tr I feel dutybound to challenge his first statement, "that prohibition has \^o been an ignoble failure." Such a gmi statement I deny, and so do hundreds lyp of persons whose veracity has never been ouestioned. True it has not *n ( A been what wc desired it to be, but when we consider the rnanvhindrances ' A thrown against it, we are glad to say that it has been partly successful. Am Shortly after the Dispensaries were T closed in the county enemies of pre- Jus hibition got busy and opened socalled V s >cial clubs, which really was * disgrace to civilization. Public sentiment finally prevailed against them ! aud thej' were forced to close, and i ^ I o?,TT Vinnr.ot man T1711 I Vl Q v o fn a rim i f I I ?aj JiVUV OU 1UMIU ?f **i uu V wv v . j there is less drunkeduess now than An< I 1 as eyer been befon V As to the county beiug in bad shape, But I wi9h to add that the county was mi B debt and the road were not in any better condition while the Dispensaries ^ were in our midst, notwithstanding rp0 the fact that they turned in several thousand dollars. Some have said that if we can reestablish the Dispen- ^01 sary that they will put the blind tiger ? out of business. Such has not been l the case with Richland and Charleston where blind tigers flourish under i the eye of the Dispensary. The Dis-i <a pen^ary is a fine place for the blind tiser3 to buy his whiskey from. y I wlSh to name a few reasons why est the Dispensary should be reestablish- Hot eu. Firs\ it is an evil; second, the cn5 , cro statutes of Sonth Carolina forbids its thr< c-i <zens to sell alcoholic drinks and j hies the state or county should not sell | ! or f what its citizens are forbidden to sell; j lur third, a majority of the people are op- j Con po-ed to it, and the proof of this as- j UK s*-rlion is, not a single public meeting j lias been held by the citizens .to encourage the reestablishinent of the y Dispensaries, but on the other hand, a representative body of men, men who have the welfare of the people at yea heart, met and laid plans for a fight against the Dispensaries. Fathers, vote against legalizing an j gjrj institution that has ruined hundreds j gjrj of bright boys and is possible to ruin ' 0ff yours. In the penitentiary In Ol- ! not umbia is an electric chair to put to thin death criminals, then do vote against legalizing an institution that makes n00 criminals. Now in conclusion, I wish to j can state that refusing to reestablish the j at t dispensary is not enough, but the j jg Q illegal sale of whiskey should be stop- j ^ta ped. Men haye courage and manhood ' to press your sheriff's solicitors and j magistrates to enforce laws, and when ; this has been done we will soon have j C' a county to live in without debts, and | ailu with good roads and schools. j mis Respectfully, ' lets Lonnie B Addy. ; will ? j All The Best Pain Killer.
