Editor Hock Hill Herald: AsM have been .-oniewlmt cri icisod for' circulating uu invitation asking Senator Tillman to address the peoplo of York county 011 the liquor question, will you permit i me to express u.y views am! state some facts on this subject? The criticisms expressed or implied I shall pass by. This is supposed to ho a free country and each individual has the right to his own views. I accoid that to others and claim the same right for myself. I have always supported Senator Tillman and expect to do it until ho betrays the trust the people of South Carolina have placed in hint, which will, in my judgement, liev- : cr happen. The question before the people of York county is I it} nor, dispensary liquor, blind tiger liquor. prohibition liquor, or any | other kind of old stall. Not Mr. Tillman or Mr. Ibice. What is proposed in the place of the pies- I ent system? Mr. JJrice sa>s the present 'system is worse than the old bar rooms, worse than blind tleers, worse than nothing at all " W hat does he propose? Free liquor? It must have been that way with him while in Columbia, for lie says "'he is quite certain that he I had not bought any while in Co- ' luinbia, the past six sessions of the legislature, i suppose he certainly ilid not mean that, lie does not I say he didn't drink any.

Kmilisirs sermon partly ?j 11 otto 1 by Senator Tillman at Tit/.ah, and which the Knquirer admitted was true. It ou^ht to be republished for the information of the people. Wo all can reca'l the remarks of Solicitor J. K. Henry before the Yorkville com! some time before the establishment of the dispensary. He t<>hl the Court that he "was nauseated, sick front tne former or smell of the meal^ corn liquor that came from the breath of witnesses and even jurors. " ! do not know that I quote his words, but the substance, "lie had live coiliT-lioiise towns in his circuit, four with dispensaries and one, Yorkville, without u dispensary, but there was nu.ro drunken ness on moan liquor in that one than m the other four combined. And on beinj* asked by a brother lawyer afler adjournment oT t!.e court, why he should make such a statement, bein^ a candidate for re-election, replied, "Ueeause it was the trntii," and 1 .have it on oood authority, Senator Ihiee being present, embused Mr. Unity's statement and'said, "Yes, every word of it was true." Kurt her, I took ttio trouble to look up tin* j record of the mayor's court of Yorkvilie to sec if the statement that the location of the dispensary increased < r bred blind tigers.] This is an argument used again*' the establishment of dispensaries I found tuat from May 1001, to May 1002, the year before the establishment of the dispensary, that there were 2!) trials of tigois before the mayor. Krom May, 11102, to 100*1, one y? ir after the establishment of the dispensary, that there were three trials. Krom i lOO.'J to 1001 there were none tried and from lliOt to 100"? there were three trials, but that these latter three were held during the time the dispensary was closed on no- j count of tin* death ?>f Mr. Snyder. So what have wo? Twenty-nine ; in one year to live in three years. Does that look like an increase or decrease? What say you to the fact! If the dispensary was such a ''damnable, delmuehino" institution, as Mr. I trice and The Enquirer would make it to be, it does seem to mo taut it would have a blight in." ctTec.t on our county seat. l?ut docs it? Every citizen of the county must feel, as lie drives over the splendid macadam streets or walks upon the excellent concrete, i cemented pavement, that the old town has taken on new, life and : prosperity, See for yourself the! recent editorials in the Enquirer shim* this line. I hit how about 1 prohibition towns? j also looked I up the iccord of Hock Hill. You know, Mr. Editor, that we arc pro i hihitin^ people, for about four yen is atfo onr people voted down 1 the proposition to establish a dis- j p-nsaiy here by a Ini'uc majority, j and many of those who voted according to their convictions for 1 the dispensary were jeered at as they cast their ballots, '"one of > whom I was which."

And the end was in sight. Blind tigers were to go and piohibition in its highest and best form , was here, and the people applauded. What have they done? If, any man knows, let him noeuk. What about the records of the mayor's court? 1 only looked up the trials of the tigers who weie convicted, not trials with dismissals which doubtless were more | than convict ions. The record Hie first year after the dispensary was voted down, there were live convictions. The secoud year ten convi.Mi ms. The third year seventeen convictions. An inciease is it not? At the Kimo ratio, what will this year be? Can you enforce prohibition?
