E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Fostorice at Ncw berry, S. C., as second class matter. FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1905. The position of the Herald and News on the dispensary question seems not to be understood and vet it has been stated a number of times, and before the agitation for an elec tion in this county. We favor the abolition of the state dispensary and necessarily the state constabulary and leave it to each county to say which system for dealing with this question it prefers. within the re strictions ,of the constitution of course. There are only three ways prohibition, dispensary and license under the rules and regulations of the dispensary law, rh.at is of local self governments. If that were done we would favor the dispensary under thec ontrol of the county. Let each county pur chase its whiskey and take the profits and be responsible for the enforce ment of the law. Under such a svs tem, we believe the evils of intemper ance could be materially minimized and we would have the profit ensuing from the sale. But have the dispen sary so run that the use of whiskey might be minimized and that the business be controlled and regulated. In the election which is to take place next Tuesday we have little concern. Prohibition in our judg ment will prove a failure even though it should prevail and no law can be enforced that is opposed by a large minority of the community and many who will vote against the dis pensary are not in favor of prohibi tion but are willing to do almost anything to encompass the overthrow of the dispensary. Then there are those who say they do not getr the revenue from the sale of whiskey but when trhey come -: to pay taxes they are going to raise a kick. If by voting out the dispen sary we should wipe out the evils of intemperance we would mo..t heartily support it. But if we are to have The evils and 'be deprived of the rev enue Then it is worth' while consid ring. The editor of The Herald and News returned yesterday morning from the western trip with the South Carolina Press association. WXe had a pleasanlt and successful trip and it went through as arranged. arriving in Columbia only about thir ty minutes behind the scheduled time. In a distance of over 8.ooo miles, covered in twenty-three days there was no accident and no delay of consequence and no missing of connection. This was due largely to the perfect system which all the large railway companies have fc handling their busir.ess. The young men who have been in charge of our ofice during our absence have kept things moving smoothly and Miss Broaddus has the business office in good shape. WVe appreciate their work. We have travelled through and put foot on the soil of nineteen strates and across many of them. It is a good country in which we live and one gets a bigger and better con ception of it by taking a trip across the continent. WVe have seen some fine lands and big cities, but when. y.ou take all thngs into consideraton v:e have the best counntry on the globe rigt here in SSouth Carolina and one has butt to travel ou:t from home a little way to appreciate that fact. We would not exchange Newberry coun tv for any~ land we have seen. WVe h.>e fom imetotime to have some COMMITTEE MEETS AT COLUMBIL (Continued from first page.) analyzed. and that they have nevt been :ested so far as he knows. I was in blissful ignoranc of the fa< that a Iabel is attached to every ca5 of goods sent out from the dispensar: certifying to its purity and that it ha been tested by the state chemis:. Mr. Tatum scggested that unde some special arrangement. as he ur derstood. the Richland Distillery r< ceived empty barrels cheaper tha they were sold, and that this was sort oi return arrangement. It developed Wednesday afternoo that. although the board has passe the resolution that it did not inten buying any more case goods that sol for less than on a S1.25 basis it ha bought considerably of cheap cas goods from Kelley & Co.. Col. Mib son's firm, within the last few month The present outlook is that the con mittee will remain in Columbia all th week, and that it is likely to retur next week for further work.
