Editor Hock Hill Herald: AsM
have been .-oniewlmt cri icisod for'

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,

other kind of old stall. Not Mr.
Tillman or Mr. Ibice. What is
proposed in the place of the pies- I

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

question. I know of no way of

past,1' ami let uh to the records j^u.
First, \ orkville. What were the
conditions tlioro before establish
inout of the dispensaryV luder
prohibition, so called, I refer you
to Dr. T. K. 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

the proposition to establish a dis- j
p-nsaiy here by a Ini'uc majority, j
and many of those who voted according

they cast their ballots, '"one of >
whom I was which." Before the
election they cried, "clown with

do liot .want the tainted, sordid

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

voted down, there were live convictions.
