County Ministers
Endorse Passage
State Sales Tax
1 The ministers of Laurens county
met here Tuesday morning at the
First Baptist church with the county
delegation to the general assembly
Slow in session at Columbia. t
. The purpose of the meeting was to
discuss with the representatives of
the county the enactment of a local
optioh county^ liquor law -for the
state. Laurens county has voted dry
three times on the liquor question,
but is having liquor forced down its
throat under the present law of the
state-wide sale of liquo_r and condi
tions are becoming appalling in the
county.
A suggestion' was also made to the
representatives that a general sales
tax be enacted to furnish revenue
for the running of the schools of the
state in lieu of the present revenue
used for that purpose from the sale
of liquor.
