W. Boyd Evana and Lawson D. Melton arrived here to-day and im mediately went into consultation with Wallace & Barron and J. Gor don Hughes, looa! counsel. It is re ported that they appeared before Judge Townsend to-day and prayed for an order to reopen the dispen saries pending the decision of the Supreme Court, to which a notioe of appeal baa been made, but if the re port is true it is oertain that the order was refused. Columbia, September 7.-W. Boyd Evans has returned from Union, where he went yesterday to serve formal notice of appeal in the dispensary oase there, Judge Town send having deoided against him. Aeoording to Mr. Evans, a very peouliar case exists in that county. The dispensers are all keeping their establishments open, but uo whiskey is sold because of the fear of indict ment for violation of the dispensary law. The dispensaries are kept open I more for a point of law than any thing else. It has been suggested that some of the prohibitionists will at once enjoin the county board of control \ from paying these dispensers' sal ' aries through the county treasurer. If this is done it will result in further complications that will not be settled for some time.

Jj Dost s 7 J )C i ?\i% [ EXACT COPY Or WRAPPER. Ansel Narrows tho Options. Martin F. Ansel, who many months ago oonfessed himself a can didate for Governor in 1906, appears to favor the present laws relating to the whiskey traffic in this State, ex cept that he would substitute inde pendent county dispensaries for the State dispensary, which he would disestablish. He would suggest other and minor modifications. He would give to South Carolina similar liquor laws to those of Georgia and North Carolina, except that he would deny local option to those oounties to which neither prohibition nor dis pensaries are acceptable. The people of Abbeville are said to strongly believe in the effioaoy of the dispensary system. The people of Greenwood county, adjoining, are devoted to prohibition. It is the popular belief that both Greenwood and Abbeville are opposed to high license for themselves and for other counties. Mr. Ansel oonsents for both Abbeville and Greenwood to ezeroise their preferences. He ex cludes from exercising them Charles ton and Richland. This seems to assume that county option is a right principle, provided it be narrowed so that all other methods of dealing with the whiskey traffic be outlawed. It is well known that nearly all the counties are against high license. Mr. Ansel wishes to perpetuate the only right of choice they desire to tho great majority of the counties, and he virtually commits himself to support ing a coalition between the dispen sary and prohibition counties to force their views by main strength of numbers upon the small minority of counties to which both methods are distasteful. If the plan of independent county action has any sound basis it is that the people of the several counties are the host judges of their peculiar and particular needs in relation to the whiskey traffic. This is the foundation of what is known as local option, and it is this that Mr. Ansel virtually repudiates. Prohibition and the dispensary ideas are vio lently antagonistic. It is difficult to conceive the reasoning by which one advooates a choice between the two to the exclusion of all others except uppn the theory that it is popular, and yet wo are unwilling to believe that Mr. Ansol's candidacy for Gov ernor shall be channeled by such considerations. What is popular to day may come to be despised before the campaign of 1006 opens. Mr. Ansol's advocacy of destroy ing the State dispensary feature of tho system is entirely to be com mended. The existence of a whole sale house to sell liquors to the sub dispensaries is in no way essential to the regulative and restrictivo func tions of the law. Whatever is good in the law is found in such inhibi tiona ns those against sales at nigh Por Infanta and Children.

The troubles in the ad ministration of the system may for the most part be traced to the cen tral State concern and its manage ment. Mr. Ansel has done well to out loose from it, and it is singular that others who have sincere faith in the dispensary as a reform measure have not long sinoe freed themselves from this needless handicap. Of course, the value of a State dispensary to one desirous of using it as an accessory to a State political machine is obvious.-News and Courier. Th? "Lazy" Microbe.
