DECEMBER 10. 1002. , 06 Wa Need a Dispensary? Do jwe ^eed a dispensary, or ritherj will h dispensary ivlievy t'te siJUation? This quest ibh in per pitting the minds of ninny senou|f*.t liinkiqg oiil'/.wttj.. at', present. Tito whiskey drinking business in*. Fort Mill has grown to sin-It alarming proportions -that many of the older residents, heretofore anti-dispensary ilea, look with favor upon Hie establishment of a dispensary here, not because they especially,favor such uistitu- ! turns, but as the only means of | bringing about a moral reform, i Many others would doubtless come ! to a like conclusion, ,tliey 1 familiar with the liquor traffic as j it exists. Whiskey, any kind, any f^rade, or any price, can Wj b m^lit ri^ht here oil the streets' any time by almost anybody, the j only qualification to insure a pur- j chase being that of having the ! cash. The buyer does not necessarily have to be of age.to get liquor-, but any boy can deposit his money, think up a ficticious name, and he gets his goods. Hgt these,facts are not all thnt would seem to make a .change adv sable. The finances of th^\own> Would he inatwriullu nidarl t?*r luk-Ii u business. Xl 10 exact amount of utouey paid out for whiskey by the people of this place cannot, of course, ho slated, as there are so inauy different sources from which liquor'Is -obtainable. Hut, as- . tonishiug as it may sound, it is aj fact that the dealers of our siste^r! {State are turning iuto their tills | piouthly Fort Mill cash to the! amount of $;i,0(J0. This statement; as to the amount, is vouched for by one of the town's most reliable citizens, and there would be little reason lo ^Jgubt'the assertion were'! all as Well posted on the receipts j of whiskey here as our informant. Those w ho. nre familiar with the Jirst cost of whiskey can best estimate what the yearly profits front'1 this volume of business are, but it* is safe to say that, the town .is;Joe- i jug several thousand dollars manually nfider present conditions.

Members of the York bar arc 1 discussing the idea of petitioninn f?>r an extra term of the court of coinuion pleas to he held in February. There is so much business pending that such a step j seems to be imperative. As jet. I however, nothing defmate has been 1 decided upon. If the railroad people can just ti arrange to deliver a morning paper in the town 011 the day of publicu- 1 tion. they will confer a great favor.
