It is evident, by what the Revi*>" rij:, that tlie governor docs not expect any assistance to enforce the law from town authorities, throughout tho State, therefore lie plainly notifies tbcm that lie intends to locale d'spensarios and place his own constables in their midst and pay them out of the profits from the sales of whiskey to which the towns may bo entitled. In fact, tho law eprc'ally provides that tho State llnrd of Control lins power to withhold all un fits from towns which in their iuifome.nt, ilo net enforce the law. Tliis is a very clastic provision, ami considering the prejutlice plainly exhibited by the Governor toward the towns and cities of the State, with his evident anxiety to make a good showing from the dispensary law in the State treasury, looks very much like, "I will if you don't, and I will if you do." While we have honestly and conscientiously opposed the sale of whiskey in tlj^State, and many of Gov. Tillman's methods and measures as being arbitrary and undemocratic, wo as honestly and conscientiously call upon every good citizen of this town and county to cooperate with bin; ami the constituted authorities in enforcing the dispcurary law. In the first plrc the pcopie should try to secure the light man for the office of local dispenser?a man that will strictly enforce the law himself and will ece that each ollicial under him shall do his full duty in that respict, without fear or favor. That will lc the surest tost of the good and bad jualiti s of the law and secure its permauo'icy va.'.y death. We cannot close our eyes to the danger of a "e'ash of am* between the appointed dispensary constables and the municipal authorities who do not accept the Governor's proposition. Whiskey on one side, is not a cool and peaceal lc element to conic in contact with icckless nml often excited officers of the law. There is tire ami may be blood iii such contact, and will very oficn demand careful watching with great discretion and courtesy 0:1 b tli sides to prevent serious trouble. We sincerely hope that our fears in this respect will prove to be groundless. We cm lidly confess that a dispensary in ibis town cannot possibly be as bad as (lie ' blind tigers" to be found at almost every corner, dealing out the most infernal s'utl'that ever made a man drunk and crazy. Hot wren the two, by all odds ;.. a inspciisoij, Mini we promise to give the dispenser ami the oflicials under him every help and encouragement within our J otver t ? enable them to properly ami eft'ectuallv enforce the law. 1 Sad Accident?Three Men Killed.
