Tis Us. : mar)7 Some things are very sig nificant. In Charleston county where four hundred people hold blind tiger’s licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquor in direct |- violation of our State Dispensary law, “local option” has been' made the slogan, and a „great hue and cry is going up for local, self-government, making the the unit instead of the State. We venture to assert that if there were thirty-seven counties wet in South Carolina and six dry, and the prohibition ists should undertake to work by the principle of local option for more dry territory, this same gang of blind tigers would be f< und fighting us to the last ditch. .We would like to inquire further why any man who do ored people in order that they may vote them against ■ prohibi tion in November. The editor of the Floridian who says he is not a prohibitionist, in his paper of July 23. 1910, says; “We make the positive statement that the whiskey men of Jacksonville are now' putting up the two-dollar bills in the hands of negroes to qualify them to tfote against the prohibition amendment to be ratified or rejected in -the next November.s election, places they are running night schools in order that they may instruct negro men and prepare them to vote. - - Let the man who stands in any sense with the liquor crowd think of these things, but abovo all, may the citizens of our county SUBSCRIBER WHITES.
