P'tered .at the Protrice at >Ce'v berry, S. C. as second class matter. FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1905. Two Extracts. The Herald and News has been re quested by the chairman of the exec utive committee, Mr. G. F. Long. to publish the two extracts which fol low. The f;r-t a part of a ,ection ot the Brice Act under which it is pro posed to vote out the dispensary. The other is the article of the consti tutios of the state with reference to the manner in which the legisitirc may regulate the sale ofiir or h it may prohibit the sale of liquor. It will be seen that under ,<he constitu tion the legislature cannot authorize a municipal corporation to issue a license. In regard to the Brice Act The Herald and News published it in full just before the mass meeting was held t.. consider the question of get ting up petitions to ask the supervisor to order the election. There are two provisos to this section which we are asked to print which should be print ed with it but .which are left off the copy furnished. It is well to let the people know the full meaning of what they do. One is that when the dis pensary is voted out at the same time you vote a one half mill tax on all the taxable property in tihe county to be used by the governor in his discretion in enforcing the law. In case he does not use it it goes back to the county. The other proviso is that the county voting out the dispensary is not to share in the profits from the state for the school fund. It is well to give all tihe information and let the people understand fully just what they are doing. The state teachers' association passed a resolution at -heir annual convention la-st week in favor of com pulsory education and appointed a committee to present the matter be fore the legislat :re. Extract From Brice Bill. "Any emmty may secure the vtah lishrnea: a Diisp,e::sary or i)ipe:n saries. or thp rem ,vai of a Dispensary or Dispensaries within its limits, in the foil wing manner: upon the peti tion of one-fourth of the qunalified voters of each county~ for an election upon either the question of the estab lishment or the removal of Dispen saries therein being filed ~with the ounty Supervisor oi each county, he shall order an election submitting the question of "Dispensary" or "No Dispensary" to the qualified voters of such county. which shall be con ducted as the other special elections, and if a majority of the lpllots cast, be found and declared to be for a Dis pensary, then a Dispensary may be established in said county, but if a majority of the ballots cast, be found and. declared to be against the Dis pensary, t'hen no Dispensary shall be established therein, and any Dispen sary already established shall be closed. Elections under this section can be held not oftener than once in four years." Constitution of 1895 Art. VIII. "Sec. 11. In the exercise of the po lice power the General Assembly shall have the right to prohibit t'he manufacture and sale and retail of alcoholic liquors or beverages within the State.
