Newberry, July 22.—Dr. George B.
roiner, well known Newberry attor
ney and long an outstanding prohi
bitionist who was named as a candi
date to oppose the repeal of the 18th
amendment, has addressed the follow
ing communication to the county legis
lative delegation:
“If our legislative delegation had
consulted me, I would have refused to
allow the use of my name in the pro
hibition referendum, for persona! rea
sons tbat have nothing to do with the
prohibition^i^uestion. 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.”
