Editor Press and Standard: Will you please allow me space in your paper to express my views in regard to the present movement for hold ing an election on prohibition and dispensary. Let us look well before we lead and view the situation and surroundings just as they are. It seems that the legislature when in session tried to mete out to every man who would vote for the Cary- Cothran bill a mess of pottage as it were to suit his owm appetites, so Colleton’s proportion for ordering this election was fixed at one- sixth, therefore . one-sixth of the qualified voters of this county .can order an election and one ma- r jority vote decides the question for or against prohibition, regardless of the number of votes poled. Now is it right to call an election at^hfo s s. § O u Q DC < o z. < H x Q Z 2 -3 2 ing is seldom eoualed. Their above t quartette is Statesman, Salem, courthouse the average. »t At the , Apr. 2. any business policy or even any good common sense in such a move as this at this time. Rob the children ami the county of the revenue which they should have arid give it to other counties just to please 1 a few indi viduals and then take our ordinary county tax to pay for special consta bles for keeping down blind tigers. As the law provides that if the sheriffs, magistrates, mayors anti constables cannot have the law en forced in prohibition counties the governor shall appoint special con stables and that they shall be paid out of the ordinary county fund. There are 24 counties in ^he State , ^ who have elected their boards of X control and it is likely that some of 1 j* the prohibition counties will as soon 2 .= | as the law will admit, vote in the ^ w ^ 0 dispensary again. ? a Now fellow citizens, the proper — ^ ti. o authorities for selecting a board of control for Colleton county has selected three of as good and busi ness like men as there is in Colleton county to manage and control this dispensary business. So I say lets give them a fair trial with the busi ness and If it is not satisfactory at the next primary, order an election test the sentiment of the people fair ly, and if the majority then want prohibition, give it to them. 1 am opposed to prohibition for several reasons, so long as we can have ssmething better.
