L>lipentur> Talk in Fort .Mill.
The unusually largo amount of
whisky which is being shipped to
Fort Mill and the weekly visits
to the town of soliciting agents of
North Carolina liquor houses, as
well as the knowledge that, a considerable
part of the whisky shipped
here is sold by blind tigers, has
caused a number of citizens of She
place to express the belief that it
would be as well for Fort Mill to
have a dispensary. These citizens
il..o ~ 1 * r
s.'.iivmu nun 11 itn^e illllUlllll ?I
motley is annually scut to North
' Corolina mul other States fur whisky
and that not one cent of revenue
is derived thereforni by the
town. The dispensary, it is also
contended, would draw a gn at deal
of trade to Fort .Mill which now
goes elsewhere, that there would
bo very little more whisky sold
and that, the treasury of the town
would he greatly benefited, which
would mean better streets and a
public school of more value. These
are the chief arguments of those
who believe a dispensary ought to
he established in Fort Mill. Hut
of cuu:.so there is another horn to
the dilemma. Then1 is little doubt
that at least double the amount of
whisky would b sold from a dispensary
that is shipped to Fort
.Mill and the ditlieulty of <>!>t.aiuing
it, slight as ii is, would be cni.reiy
removed.

The State says that the proposition
to abolish the convict lease
system and work the convicts exclusively
on the public roads has a
threat many supporters in both
houses of th?' Le^islat lire, and several
bills have already been introduced
on the. subject, but it is im
possible to say yet whether the
measure will become a law at this
sessii >n.
The time f<?r tin* payment ?>f
taxes lias lieell extended to February
1. This action was taken 1>\
the j^ovei nor, comptroller j^om f?*I
and 11easurer last Friday. Though
tlnse gentlemen have heretofore
expiessed themselves as seeing no
i good reason why the time should
be extended, the agitation of the
question in the House doubtless
roused them to see that there
might he some good reason in the
plea for extent ion.
