I here is hut one important issue involved iti this campaign so far as State affairs go, and as for my own candidacy, it i\?sls on the record which I have made since I entered public lile sixteen years ago, and the intimate- knowledge which the people ol the State have of my character ?, .louirlit y and ipialiHcat ions. I am willing to leave it there without dis cussion or presentation. The tight is State Dispensary \s. County Dispen sary, fur no one expects the probi t ion camli<lales, however worthv and well qualified- they may lie. to receive very much sup|Mu*t. With ;*JI their efforts (and tliev have been many ami 1??tjvi" continued), the newspapers why'h have always iought the dispensary have not been able to drum up a candidate Cor gov ernor who advocates local option straight as against dispensary and prohibition" and onlv in Charleston does that idea have any men offer ing for oilier under it. The local op tion ottered the people, is between prohibit ion and count v dispensary and I lie whole light is to destroy the State dispensary lirst with no other purpose than to obtain (lie privilege ot reopening the old liquor^ stores 'selling; under eonstitutionnl limita tions. ' Tin' real fight is for the con trol of tpe legislature, heeause the governor cannot make or change the laws and can only I rv to enforce tlx ?til. 11 is only" influence over legis lation would be in the use of the veto power. .Hut il is all important to yet a strong and good mail for gov ernor. The times distinctly demand one. '"In. anV.,4*vPiit, some counties will sVnl by prohibition with lis blind/ tigers and heavy .jug trade by express. Other comities will vote for county dispensaries and the cities where the principal newspapers are published will have the fight on the issue of Slate dispensary ov county dispen sary with the ultimate purpose of having the county dispensaries turned into licensed barrooms if the county dispensaries are abolished. The scheme is to restore the sale of liquor to private individuals rather than let it remain in the hands of Stale officials. Those who clamor for county dispensaries instead of one State (iis|(nK-ii'?, mii-t di'iuiuistrate how il is easier in prevent corruption anions the tlii?"tv or fori) county boards llinn to stop it in one State bc?rd. I have neat I'aitli in the jrood \ common sense ol' the people ami do \no| believe they can be persuaded to \li\-troy the State di-pensai v and leave eaeh county to purchase and K'U its own lii|\ioi'. Yet The State aif^l News and Courier, which have nlw^vs hated the dispensary 'worse -than the devil hates holy water.' arc? advocal iu?i' candidates who favor county dispensaries. The only pos sible good reason that can he advanc ed on this line is that the prohibition counties under the constitution re ceive a part of the profits which arise from the sale ol" liquor in the other h;. counties. This is unjust ns everyone must acknowledge, hut it can be rem edied very easilv by having the State Hf' dis|M usarv make no protits other than ?%r a few thousand dollars above its run fcL iiin>r expends, thus leaving the conn lY tie* and towns to divide the protits between them. This fan be easily done and when we consider the ex pense of buying liquor in retail quan |Liit.ics and paying local freights 011 it instead of luty in;* carload lots and ufiayinir through freights the county ^'dispensary cannot stand the compari son.

I would he ??lad to have Charleston prosper, but it is not the loss of the liquor trade that hurts Charleston. Other tilings are to blame. "The issue between private control and control by State official* must bung at last on the question of whether or not the people of S/>nth Carolina shall determine that we can not find honest men enough to carry on I lie dispensary system and devise laws to make those who are dishon est afraid. I say we can. I do not believe that every man who handles whiskey must become a thief. I be lieve that the people only need to see and know that tin1 dispensary sys tem can be reformed and cleansed corruption to make them stand by it. '"I will proceed to \>'ive (he plan which a pears to me afyer n yreaf deal ot thought and considerntion of sug gestions from very many sources to be the best. We will begin on the count ies. "County dispensers should be elected in the Democratic primarv the same as other officers. The county hoard should he composed of the mayor of the town in which a dis pensary is located, the supervisor of the county, who is the business agent of the county and one man oppoiut ed bv the governor. "The countv dispenser shoubt be removed by the governor for cause. State board of control ouirlit to be elected by the legislature, but its dutv shonbl be confined to general di rection and supervision of the busi ness. the same as the penitentiary and hospital for the insane are run. It should not purchase any whiskey or anything else required in the busi ness. Everything required, i 11 <-1 it < I - ins the whiskey, should he bought under annual contracts made as fol lows: After the State commission er has advertised in the manner pie scribed by law (and this omrht to be very clear and specific, leaving noth ing to the discretion of anyone, ami o'oiu'r fully into details), the bids should be opened in public bv three selected just before the date- fixed by the governor and the contract made with the lowest bidder bv the real tor the supples to be ordered out by the commissioner as needed. These three men are to serve only once and annually there shall he three new f'liOSOH to tllO (*' Ml 1 ''H1.'! *?? The bidders ^ill not know who will make the awards and therefore '*an not enter into collusion in advance and even should the <>;overnor (which is inconceivable) be willing to select a board which should act corruptIv the specifications of the bidding made with - minuteness and the publtuiiv pouhl prevent any graft. "No whiskey or liquor should be purchased except from government bonded warehouses. In the case ??t wines and beer the brewers should ahme furnish tin* first direct fr< in the breweries, and the small quantity of the others used eoidd be hedged about in the advertisement so as to insure honesty and the purest - id best articles. For the information of those who are not posted. I will say that the government bonded warehouses are under the control of t l?C j?? {<i* |I ITV'.MW edieials entirely and whiskey deposit ed in them comes directly from the still ami the owner is not )icrmitted to manipulate it or handle it in any way until the tax is paid and it is removed. We thus get a guarantee <>f absolute purity without a chemical analysis and such liquors are a* much staple articles of commerce as coin, wheat or bacon. It is the blended or rectified whiskeys that ar? adulturat ed and where the cheating come* in. The blending and mixing could be done in the State dispensary? where there would be no incentive to in crease profits by adulteration, be sides the law would i>;-ovide severe penalties'for that kind of thing. /'The county dispensers being elected by the people will be anxious to please the people as they will be hcat^A at the polls if they do no do their duty. The county board, chosen m> indicated* will be responsible jit the people also with every incentive to ijive a good administration^ The whiskey purchased in that way will be as pure and as good as can lie ob tained under any possible conditions and there is absolutely no way in whiih corruption can creeo in, if there is the least effort on, the part yoople 4?nd--flt^ governor prevent it. \ "The trouble wnh the dispensary now is flial our pernors have neg lected thefc dutfe* and hava, not kept supervision over the working* of the local dispensers and the fit ate hoard.
