How the Dispensary Law is EnforcedIn another colttmu wi'l be found an artic under the head of "Anybody can get Whi key at the Dispensary," which wo ta from a Columbia daily paper, the truth whioh has not boon denied. To us it shov n.flngrant and most arbitrary violation the' plain letter at?d spirit of the dispeusai law, on the part of the State Board of Co Irol, of which Gov. Tillman is evidently tl controlling olemeut. Heretofore we have been not only willii hut anxious to have the dispensary If fiirlv tested nnon its own merits, beliovi it if proved to be a beneficent law, suppre ing in any appreciable degree the abuse whiskey drinking, reclaiming even a f drunkards and elevating the social a moral standards of society, by its wholesai restraints upon the habits ami customs our peoplo in every sphere of life, the pe pie will feel and appreciate its greit ben fits and throw around it the wholo f*rce their moral influence to give it strength ni long life : but if it is founded upon met1 nary motives?to make money for the Sti out of the whiskey traffic?the State its< through her offici ?ls, overriding the mot restraints of the law and establishing t worst features of the barroom system opening the doors of tho dispcusary minors, drunkards, etc.. for their patronaj tho evil and corruption that is within it: will soon cause its death and the people w bury it and its projectors deep in tho grn of scorn and disgust. In the case of recognizing illegal app cations for whiskey at the dispuusiry, ask in all sincerely, wherein is the soui ness of the pu'hc theory of the dispensai when everybody, minors, habitual drui arils, etc., can get all the whiskey they c pay for from the dispensary ? The only difference that we can see ' tween the barroom nuisance ami the c pousary is, that the dispensary cannot t less than half a pint aud the purchaser not allowed to get drunk at ttio dispensar llut he cau take it to the club room or 1 bedroom and join with any number of hi roiH fricuds iu buying any number of fl>?: of 100 proof dispensary whiskey and get as glorious a drunk os they could before , Stale assumed sole paternal guardians! j- over her sober, her wayward, her moi d r hor christian sous and daughters, in matter of dictating when, how aud wii | they shall obtain ami use such stimulants they may think they need or wish to drii C To Sunday School Secretaries.
