Expresses His Views.
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

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
