Vote Against the Dispensary. Editor The Bamberg Herald: In asmuch as Bamberg county is soon to 1 have an election upon the question 1 nf the re-establishment of the dispen 1 sary, I respectfully ask for the privilege of appealing to your citizens once , more, and will thank you most cor, diallv if you will give space in your paper for this letter. To your people and to those of us who live near you, this is a most se> rious question. Every man should , therefore consider well all that is involved before casting his ballot. It , is not a question of expediency. It is not mere an economic question. It. is pre-eminently a MORAL question. The moral feature overshadows all others. Shall Bamberg county go into the liquor business? Every man who will vote for the dispensary will vote for his county to go into the liquor business, and becomes by virtue of that act a quarter in the business. In other words, the only man who can consistently vote for the dispensary is the man who would have ' no scruples against going into the 1 business himself should' he elect to do so. While on the other hand, if a man believes that it is wrong for the individual to sell whiskey must, in order to be consistent, believe that it is wrong for the county to sell it. There are good men in Bamberg county who favob the dispensary who , would shudder at the thought of go ing into the business themselves, yet they propose to put the county into l the business and thus become partners in it. But some man will say "it is the county and not we" who propose to go into the business.- But what is the county? Is the county an impersonal, irresponsible thing? The county is nothing other than the people who compose its citizenship. If the countv does wrong it is because I the majority 'of its citizens do wrong, uiiu uyuxx ixxexxx resLS ixxe respuusxuxx> ity. Let us state the matter concretely: If a majority of the qualified voters of your county vote for the 1 dispensary those citizens will become the proprietors of and partners in the liquor business for the county. They | will form a government monopoly in selling intoxicating beverages. Do you. good Christian citizen, desire to ! become a part of such a monopoly? ! I Do you want to be one of the proprie, tors of the liquor business in Bamberg county? Can you say "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven,"' and vote for the dispensary? But to be still more specific: I am MAKES HOT WAVE PAY. Gotham Beggar Clad in Storm Coat Heaps Harvest from Passersby. A man believed to be a professional beggar took advantage of the torI rid weather to work on the sympathies of persons in the subway. The beggar, wearing a lievy storm ulster, got on a north-bound Broadway express at 6 o'clock in the evening, at the Brooklyn Bridge station. He found a seat in a corner of the car, and the perspiring passengers regarded him with surprise and pity. They noticed that the beggar had a long beard, and that the storm collar of the great coat was turned up and buttoned tightly about his neck. He seemed to be suffering much from the heat, for his lean tace was moisi with perspiration. A Sympathetic guard asked ' the beggar why he was clothed for winter when most of the men in the car had cast aside their coats. The beggar replied softly that, he did not dare to open his ulster, as he wore no clothing underneath it. This iniormation the guard communicated to several men in the car. One of them started a collection to get a suit of clothes for the poor man. He passed a. hat from one passenger to another, and several dollars in silver were obtained for the beggar. He quit the car at the Grand Central Station, thanking his benefactors tearfully. After counting up the collection he crossed to the south-bound platform of the station, where he got cn a down town express. He succeeded in arousing the sympathies of the passengers on the train, and another collection was taken up and turned over to him. When at last seen he was hurrying to a northbound express at the bridge station. ?New York Times. Maynard and the Music Box. Harry Maynard used to be a member of the House of Representatives until the voters of his district laid him prostrate on the ground, and put upon his recumbent form the marks of many iron boots, thus effectively retiring him to private life. The last time he was in the National Capitol he was explaining in a jocular manner that an extra session of Congress would not be necessary. Congress reminded him, he said, of a pianola of which he had heard. A man was preparing to go on his vacation and was unfolding his plans to his neighbor in the next apartment. ' "\ye will be gone a long time," he said, "and'we are thinking about taking our pianola with us." "I would," replied the neighbor. "The Lord knows it needs a vacation."?Popular Magazine. not afraid to say that any individual in Bamberg county has as much right to sell liquor as the county has. The "blind tiger" sells whiskey, and you call it an accursed business. You are right. But when you go into the business will it be any better? Can you make murder better by seizing the murderer's knife and slaying right and left? Shall Bamberg county descend to the plane of the illicit liquor dealer? This is what you will do if you vote for the dispensary. The county itself will endeavor to take the iniquitious business from the hands of others and thereby engage in the very business that it purports to destroy. I am not writing to hurt any man's feeling. I admit that there are good men who favor it now, but I trust every good man will act in accordance with his character and vote against the dispensary. But it is argued that the "blind tigers" are worse than the dispensary. To this the argument presented above may be applied. Both are immoral. Both are unlawful in the sight of God. It seems to me that the Christian citizen should refuse to have either, and if the blind tigers prevail, after all effort has failed to put them out of business, then the responsibility rests upon the man who sells it, and him will God judge. But I challenge anybody to bring proof that the dispensary at any time or anywhere has ever put the "blind tigers" out of business. Beaufort and Charleston counties have the dispensary, yet these counties, as well as all others where the dispensary has existed, have never ceased to have their troubles with the "blind tiger." It is sincerely hoped that such appeals as this will reach the good man, the man who loves his fellowman and his God. There is little or no use to appeal to the man who wants a job in connection with the J business. Your prospective board of | control and dispensers will vote for it. The men who nave aoanaonea their lives to the merciless sway of alcohol will vote for it. But let every good man. and every man who loves his county vote against it, and thus vindicate his claims to incorruptible manhood. J. C. LAWSON. Lodge, C. C., August 8, 1913.
