MUST PAY FOR ISPENSARY ANYHOW. The Newberry I lera!l and Newl objects. to thle statemenLit recemtly lade hv the Yorkvilie Enquirer that the I.egislature 4f the State deied the peopie tle right to sav whether they approve, the dispen sarv situation or not. May our Newberry coiemtcporary "The- Leilatupre ga\e th ii tc the PeOple of every eunty to vote inl or to vote on: :dihpesay and the eclction cui hi'e held wien evcr 2; pIer Celt of the lec titonc for such an election. Ihat Is local self-,overnm1et by Conte anl the rule of the pe ple. \\'hat else do votn wIant?" \edo nt think our Nt whrry friend is quite :air in tin statemenr. Under the Act of the legislature the people o an eu;:: can vot( In or vote out the IsI)ensarV. It is true, but if it vote out the dispen sarv it will he required to pay a special tax to the state. sufficient. in the opirioi, of the law to make good such loss as the state may sustain bv reason of the dis continuance of the whiskey trade in such countv. In addition to this the county voting out the dispen sary under the "liberal democratic, measure." of which our Newberry friend speaks. will be deprived of any part .of the dispensary fund for the support of the public schools. I Before this great moral institu tion was established there were sev eral prohibition counties in the state, York county among them,: and the people in certain munici palities exercised the right of local option. and voted out the barroom without being required to pay a tax to the county to make good any loss of revenue that might result from such an exercise of their temper ance proclivities.-News and Cour-! ier. The special tax is not used by the state except to pay for the en forcement of the law in the county voting prohibition and if the law is enforced by the county without the aid of the constables paid by the state then- the money from this special tax goes back into the or dinary county funds. The county voting out the dispensary pays no ispecial tax to the state." to make good any loss which the "state may sustain by reason' of the dis continuance of the whiskey trade in such countv." It is to be used only to pay the expe,ise of enforc ing the law in such county and if not needed for this purpose then it will not be used at all. The counties under preesnt laws pay for the enforcement of those lawvs. If a crime, for instance, is committed in one county and the trial of the case is transferred to another the county in which the law wvas violated pays the cost of 'the trial. That is the some thing re quired of the co unty in the matter *of the dispensary violations. There is no thing in the law undemocratic cr that is cortrary to the principle of local self-government. Under local option for munici palities in vogue some years ago. the municipality paid the expense of enforcing the prohibitory law. That is all the present law requires. It is reported from Charleston that "the blind tigers are looking forward with interest to the session of the city court on Mlonday (yVes terdayv when seventy-nvee of them ;z! be brougin upj) answer. the charge of selling liquior." All of which is.very interesting. After aill this talk for the past year and more about the strict enfiorcemfenlt of the. dispensary law, who would have thought there wvere seventy-nive - blind tigers in Charleston? They are worrying themselves in New York about the <hilspoa to beC ma'de of S3o.000o in hank. th prprt f a "life convict."
