H. H. At;LL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C.. as second class matter. FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1905 The Dispensary. Some weeks ago The Herald and News stated is would have something to say further on the dispensary question. Discussion at this time we do not believe will result in any good or any harm, for the people 'have made up their minds what they are going to do whether or not by so do ing they will get just what they want. That just now seems to be a sec ondary consideration, the thing upon which tihey seem determined just at this time is that they are going to vote the dispensary out of the county. It is in the minds of the people that there is something wrong with the management that there is graft and that the longer the institution existed the more covrruption there would be. I They have it also in their minds that the dispensary is charging too much for the class of liquor that is sold and that it is selling and inferior grade Then there are those who believe that the institution is being run, not to regulate and control. the traffic in whiskey and thus to make it in reality a step towards prohibition, or at least to reduce the consumption of whiskey as a beverage; but rather to encou,r age the use of whiskey for the pur pose of making revenue for the state. Nor. of these things may be true or they all may be true. but still the peo vle believe them and are opposing the dispensary and so far as results area concerned in the coming election they had as we? be true. . Then there are those who con scientiously believe that it is wrong to sell whiskey as a beverage and will vote for anything to secure prohibi tion. Then there are t+hose who think the principle is wrong and the state should not be in the business. These forces have combined and they will poll a very large vote in this county and the dispensary will be vote when the election .comer^-T other words a great' many people believe -that the dispensary managdment has r committed suicide. The Herald&News has neve.r advo cated proibition -by statute. It does nct believ e' such a measure would 'be practicable for a people wvho 'consume three 'and a half million dollars worth of dispensary whiskey a year besides what is ordered f'or per sonal use and for -blind tigers. It has never believed the principle of the dispetisary> was rigat However, in~ its practical operation. if it were car ried out as' the law directs for the purpose o'f regulating and controlling the 'sale of whiskey and not for the revenue, it would be a good solution. But the people believe that is not being done and the combination -now formed against it will vote it out in this county by a very large majority. We would abolish the state institu tion and the state constabulary and let each county regulate the matter under t'he options given in the consti tution as it pleases, and whatever plan was aQopted in a county would h'ave sufficient public sentiment be hind it to enforce the law. If the present anti-dispensary sen timent votes the dispensary out we will have prohibition because there~ will be no legal mode of handling the sale of whiskey. If this sentiment was all prolhibition we might expect to see the law enforced but being pro hibition and high license sentiment another fight will be on between these two. However, let there be a full and free expression of the popular will and we can all be guided and governed by that verdict. The revenue from the dispensary should r:ut control, if you believe you can reduce the consumption of vdhiskey by voting the dispensary out and better the morals and improve the citizenship of the county. A few more mills tax cannot be weighed in the balance. The Anderson Mail desires to know where the Hon. Jno. T. Duncan is.

Chappells, June 29.-Tihe young people of Dyson very much enjoyed a small fish fry at the old mill pond on Wednesday. Notwithstanding the crowd was small and the seiners were not so successful in catching many~ fish it was an enjoyable 'occasion and the ladies contributed largely to the pleasures of the day by the delicious dinner which t'hey brought and which was eaten on the east side of the creek. Everything passed off pleasantly unil one of the ladies attempted tc cross the creek on planks placed over the creek to an island, and fell in, bul for the timely assistance of two youn. men she would likely have beer drowned. She was carried to th< ome of Mrs. Werts and revived and when we left for home, after a heavy rain, she was apparently alright Though h-aving spent a pleasant da) we were all glad to get home and enjoy the hot suppers awaiting us.
