Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, September 08, 1905, Image 3
in Edgefield the other day a good
Baptist preacher told him that he had
done more for prohibition than had
been done in forty years.
The senator said he was glad he represented
people who could not be bamboozled
and declared that if the dispensary
law had been properly supported
South Carolina would now be
ready to get out of the liquor into the
prohibition column. He said that the
system now includes a whole train
load of rogues and rascals and asked
who put them there, intimating the
responsibility of the legislature. He
referred again to the honesty of his
ow/i administration and did not forget
th&t even he had been charged with
receiving rebates.
Referring to Cherokee, he claimed
that liquor was being sold there in violation
of the law the same as ever.
Cherokee is no better than York. It
would be done here and it is being
done there. It is the same old game.
They catch a man and yank him up
and fine him $100. It is an Indirect
wav of collecting license.
*" The senator again referred to Mr. j
Brlce's Yorkvllle speech, especially the
back lot out of which grew his antidispensary
convictions, and made a
rather lame suggestion to the effect
that if the senator had taken an occa- |
sional little "snifter,H he would have
hardty wabbled more than he had in his
spech of the morning. Then the speaker
went on to repeat his previously published
version of the prohibition vote of
1892, and Its significance, claiming that
It was not right for him to Ignore the
18,000 Democrats who had ignored that
separate box. Then he made the point
that Mr. Brice is unwilling to settle
this matter In a primary, yet it was
a primary about which Mr. Brice had
been complaining. He denounced the
Brice law as undemocratic because
it denied so many people the right to
vote; and declared that it was a poor
rule which does not work both ways.
There are 110,000 people In the state
who are entitled to vote; but only 65,000
are registered and these 65,000 are
to fix the status of the 110,000.
In order to make the point of the
alleged inharmonious coalition against
the dispensary, the senator said he
wanted Mr. Brice to be a candidate for
governor on a straight prohibition
platform. He wanted Charleston, Columbia
and Greenville to put up a high
license candidate. He wanted the
blind tigers also to put up a candidate
and that the dispensary would have a
candidate would be a matter of course.
The blind tigers he said had already
nominated a man from Marlboro.
Without mentioning any names, he rev
ferred to a card that originated in
Spartanburg recently, nominating McLaurin
for governor, and said that he
had ascertained that three of the four
signers had been defendants before the
United States court in liquor cases.
He indulged in considerable sarcasm
along here, and then predicted in all
earnestness that if the prohibitionists
should win in less than five years
the people would be ordered to put
the sale of liquor in the hands of
private individuals under high license.
"Oh. my countrymen," the senator
confided, "liquor is Indeed a very
devil. Whoever tackles whisky to
v. control it, has in his hands the greatest
problem that has ever confronted
any people in any country." He said
that he did not seek this Job but it
was forced on him and he did the
best he could.
Next he jumped on the state board
of directors and sarcastically referred
to the empty sham under which men
were running a three and a half mll^
lion dollar business for a pretended
salary of $400 a year each. A rooter
on the outside did not seem to understand
whether the senator was condemning
the board or Its critics; but
the senator soon made it clear that
he has a desperately small opinion of
the whole board, and thought the
members should be kicked out of ofUa
otruln pnmnurpt!
original methods along the line of lx.
2x. 3x, etc.. with latter day developments
under which the board sells
case goods bearing the names of the
dealers, etc., and reasserted the inherent
corruption in the whole business.
V, He next undertook to criticise Senator
Brice on account of his declaration
that he would not attempt to purify
the dispensary because of the hopelessness
of the task, again suggested
that Brice should be a candidate and
declared that the Brice law would
never accomplish its purpose. "You
may vote it out of fifteen or sixteen
counties," he said, "but even if you
should vote it out of every county in
the state you wHl have to elect another
legtslatuie before you can abolish
the 1^' or make any material change
in its administration.
"You are going to have liquor
somehow," he said, "and why not
make It pay Its way? Six weeks have
been added to terms of the common
school. Are you going to cut this
, down or go down In your pockets?"
Voice: Cut it down.
Tillman: That is what you are going
to do, and God forbid, for this affects
the helpless children of poor
farmers who have no other chance to
get a smattering of an education. He
referred sarcastically to the use of
the term blood-money in connection
with the dispensary revenues, and
said he had no objection to a dollar
because of its source.
As a reminder of conditions that
existed in Yorkville years ajo the
senator read from the Abbeville Medium
an extract from a sermon delivered
by P.ev. Dr. English and published
in The Enquirer of October 2.
1889. r The sermon described the iniquities
of the old drug store traffic in
^ whisky on prescription, a system that
had been abolished before the establishment
of the dispensary.
In connection with this clipping
Senator Tillman digressed to have a
little fun with the editor of The Enquirer.
He said that if The Enquirer
did not deny the authenticity of
the extract his auditors would be assured
of its correctness. After reading
tbe extract he gave It to the reporter
with the suggestion that it
^ might prove Interesting reading.
Next the senator referred lo the
fact that at Edgefield he had stated
that for every Biblical text condemning
liquor, he could find two in which
liquor was mentioned without condemnation.
A Rev. Mr. Hailey had
challenged the statement and to muke
good he had run over the Bible and J
compiled a symposium of references J
to wine. He contended that the Blble
does not condemn the use of wine
in moderation. He made some running
comments on these texts, principally
at the expense of Mr. Brice, and
then turned the paper over to the editor
of The Enquirer for publication.
It will be printed hereafter.
Along with his thrusts at The Enquirer.
the senator went out of his
way to say that it was a good paper,
well edited, enterprising and generally
reliable; but claimed that it was a
little inclined to stretch things some
times.
* "I did not come here to tell you
what to do," Senator Tillman declared
to his audience. "I expect you to
do just what you please and you will
do that anyhow. If you think that
your best interest can be subserved
u? ?*1-.? ? ?* /Ilcnonuarv tin it*
Uy VUIIII5 Will llir UiOpCII^'M. J ? v. v ...
and if you think that the law can be
puriflod, Dend your efforts in that ditection."
Referring to the dispensary investigation
he said he was afraid the
* committee was gcing to round up a
whole lot of little Insignificant minnows,
while the big rascals would be
allowed to go free. It is five months
until the legislature meets. In the
meantime these rascals continue in
control of the business and $800,000
of the state's money. I believe the
investigation has already developed
enough to leave no doubt of the culpability
of these scoundrels and I believe
that under the constitution the
governor has power to kick them out
of office and take charge of the business
himself. I not Only believe that
he has the power to do this, but I believe
it is his duty to do it.
After referring to the label purchase,
and intimating that It was at
least unnecessary, the senator proposed
a hand primary on his suggestion
that the governor remove the
members of the board. Several hundred
people voted with him. Then he
suggested a hand primary on a misleading
statement of Mr. Brice's position,
evidently intended to put Mr.
Brlce in a ridiculous light before the
\ crowd; but nobody voted.
Referring again to the management
of the Yorkville dispensary the
senator stated that it had been called
to his attention that a minister of the
gospel had tried to persuade a good
man to refuse to serve on the board
of control, on the ground that the
business should be left to the low down
people to whom it properly belonged.
etc. He asked Mr. Wllborn to name
the member of the board referred to
and Mr. Wllborn said, "Mr. Starr."
Senator Tillman thought this was
very unchristian and turned to prod
Mr. Brlce with It. Mr. Brlce said he
knew nothing about the matter; but
he supposed the preacher objected to
the Idea of trying to elevate the liquor
business by trying to put It in the
hands of men who were too good for
it. or possibly he might have feared
that Mr. Starr might be, as others
have been, dragged down to the same
low level of the whisky business.
Senator Tillman repeated that he
had not come here to urge the people
to retain the dispensary. "I have been
told by everybody who knows anything
about it that you are going to
vote It out and I do not care If you
do; but I repeat to you that properly
handled the dispensary is the best solution
of the liquor question."
In all the Senator spoke two hours.
During the last half hour he had the
field pretty much to himself. The
crowd continued to 'isten with close
attention; but the rooters who had
figured in the earlier part of the proceedings
were now pretty well out of
hnainoas TTnon the whole they had
gotten but little encouragement, and
seemed to be out of sympathy even
with the senator himself.
The senator at length declared that
his mind had ceased to act as it used
to act; but insisted that he was able
to go indefinitely if necessary. Two
or three people took the cue implied
by his suggestion and urged that he
go on; but there was no indication of
a general demand, and he brought his
remarks to an end. He was complimented
with the usual applause.
Mr. Brice In Reply.
At the conclusion of senator Tillman's
remarks Chairman Wilborn announced
that in accordance with the
arrangement previously agreed upon,
Senator Brice would have twenty
minutes in reply, and that if he
should bring out any new matter Senator
Tillman would have the right to
reply to that.
Senator Brice res ponded briefly.
He said that the respective positions
of himself and Senator Tillman were
like Ooliath of Oath and David. Senator
Tillman being in the place of Goliath.
boastful of ills own great
(strength, defying the armies of the
living God, and threatening to feed
the fowls of the air and the beasts of
the field with the carcass of his insignificant
opponent. He took occasion
to say that his remarks in the court
house were not reported verbatem, and
and that it had not been his Intention
to criticise Senator Tillman's religious
views or status. He also said that
while as a young man he had probably
used whisky unnecessarily, It is not his
habit to do so now. He was not prepared
to say whether or not he had
used as much as a gallon for each year
of his life; but was quite certain that
he had not bought any In Columbia.
"I kept off of him," said Senator
Brice, "because I did not \yant the
people of York county to get this Issue
confused. It Is not between Tillman
and Brice, but between political
and moral cleanliness and this damnable
dispensary.
He explained that he had refused
to try to purify the dispensary because
experience had proved to him
that such a hope is futile. He was
willing that the governor should kick
out the members of the state board,
and he wanted it understood that he
had not voted for any of them anyway.
The men he voted for were defeated.
Senator Tillman: More Is the pity.
Senator Brice: I don't claim that
there would have been any material
ainerence. me uis^cuaaty nuuiu
probably have debauched my men
also.
Senator Brice took occasion to
make public acknowledgement of the
good faith that H. H. Evans had
shown In refusing to permit the establishment
of a distillery In King's
Mountain township after it had been
demonstrated that the petition seeking
it was a forgery.
He defied Senator 'Tillman to show
him Scriptural sanction for the use of
intoxicating liquor. Senator Tillman
referred to the miracle at the marriage
feast and Senator Brlce maintained
that that wine was non-lntoxtcating.
Senator Brice said that the devil
himself was accustomed to quote
Scripture for his own purposes and
recalled the circumstance of the
temptation In the mountain.
I am not presuming to tell you how
to vote, said Senator Brice, I want you
to settle that matter to the satisfaction
of your own consciences.
He said that if there was anything
I undemocratic in the Brice law, the
responsibility lay with Senator TtllIman,
for it was Senator Tillman alone
who composed the qualification provisions
of the constitution. He claimed
also that the people of York county
had doubly endorsed his position by
twice unanimously electing him In the
primaries.
Referring to Senator Tillman's suggestion
to have the governor kick out
the members of the board of directors,
Senator Brice said he endorsed It
and further he was willing to go down
to Columbia right now and wipe out
the whole infernal business.
Senator Tillman was not willing for
this programme, and Senator Brice
closed with an expression of thanks
to the people for the close attention
they had given him. He stepped
down amid applause.
Everybody was now pretty well
tired out. and within a few moments
after Chairman Wilborn announced
an adjournment the big crowd began
to scatter and soon the roads were
lined with the vehicles of people returning
to their homes.

It happens to us continually in this
way: A man buys Devoe for his

three years for a dog's-age, and
thinks he knows what he wants?
buys 30 gallons, and has 10 left.
He sees right-off that 20 Devoe Is
as much as 30 of anything else. He
likes that; it comes quick; it is a
surprise; and he tens 01 u. ine Deai
advertisement is a pleased customer.
Three years roll round. There isn't
a sign that his house needs paint;
he don't paint it. Next year he don't
paint it. This comes slow; It is a
surprise; but he has got used to it.
Still the best advertisement is a pleased
