But I am appo.sed to the repeal of the 18th amendment, and I accept the nomination. “I have taken part in every fight that has been waged against liquor in New'beri’y since 1877. I know the beast pretty welT Those who s^y that there is as much drinking and as much drunkenness in Newberry now as thei^e wa.s before prohibition, simiily do not know what they-are talking about. We tried the barroom with high license. We tried local option by counties. We tried state control under the slate dispensary. Then in lbl5 carrte slate prohibition; and in 1920 came national prohibition. Thgre have been, and witt -be, bliiuL -tigers and bootleggers under any system of con trol. “Will'll we had barrooms in New berry. the charge was openly made that the Newberry saloons were fur nishing liijuor to blind tigers at Pros perity. Newberry was wet. Prosp«*rity was dry. Surely everybody knows that whenever and whatever the govern ment attempts the prohibition, or con trol and regulation, of the liquor traf fic, 'blind tigers and bootleggers will ply their trade. If we are going to re peal' the law because it is being vio lated, we had better repeal all crimi nal laws and turn the state over to the la'wlesk. element. Fortunately can’t repeai the ten commandments. “Ft would ibe refreshing t« hear the repealists- say a word in favor of law enforcement and respect for duly con stituted authority. The'wets lay great stress on the I doctrine of state rights; as if anybody had denied the state any of its rights. “The prohibition amendment was submitted to the states by a two- third.s majority of both houses of'con- gress. It could not become a law' until it had been ratified by 36 states. It was ratified by 46 of the 48 states, 10 ' more than were required. South Caro lina is one of the 46. The amendment was adopted by the only method that has even been followed in ratifying amendments to the United States con- # ctitution. The total vote in the senates of the various states was 1,.310 for, and 237 against, being 84.6'?^ dry. In the lower houses of the states the vote was 3,782 for, and 1,03.5 against, be ing 78..5'v dry. The statOs exercised all their constitutional rights. “What are the prohibitionists fight ing? Let me quote from a decision of the South Carolina .supreme court: “ ‘Liquor, in its nature, is dangef- ou.s to the morals, good order, health and .safety of the people.’ “What shall we do with a thing that, in its nature, is dangerous to the mor als, good order, health, and safety of the people? , The drys .say outlaw it. The wets say legalize the sale of it and get revenue.” ir -f 35 Cars Peaches Shipped From Here Through yesterday. 35 carload ship ments of peache..* had been shipped over the two railroads from here to Northern market.s.
