We notice an article in a recent issue of the Herald, regarding the dispensary, some months ago our county held an election "dispensary or no dispensary" and the votes decided no dispensary, and now to make the curse so ended dispensary an issue for the coming campaign is not right and if the county olhcials will look at the matter in the proper manner they will urge the law inforec 1 and let the dispensary question alone. We hope the better class of llorry county will help us out in keeping the dispensary out ol our flower garden, Our county papers will confer a favor t< the voters of the county to make t he dispensary question plain to the class of people that are bewildered at the voting precincts l>v the moonshine stud furnisher! by some of the candidates.

I !)<><> LEWIS' OFFER. A CORRIiSI'ONDFM 1 lUil S Till: ACCF:l?iANCI: Ol I III I.IAN IS OI IT U. UP TO THE COMMISSION.! Shows riiat it Is the Most Advnnta jrcou.s Offer Net .Made, and Means a (treat Savinjr to 1 I the County. I.oiric and I inures ( Iveii. Ono not acquainted with the true situation would imagine that the question of the location of the new court house and jail buildings had been discussed so often both in the public prints and private eonvorsa tion that tlie subject had been worn threadbare and had become tiresome and monotonous, but such is not the. ease as it still remains, and will continue to be so until these sites are definitely selected, the absorbing theme of conversation by our people both in the town and county. There is one thing in connection with this matter touching which wo are all agreed and that is the gentlemen of the commiss'on enjoy the confidence of our people. Their business ability is unsurpassed as is evidenced by the successes tlicy have made in their private affairs and their patriotic motives arc unimpeachable consequently it goes without saying that their decision in this matter will be influenced by no other consideration than that of a purely business transaction in connection with the further consideration of what site will best subserve the interest ol I lorry. Therefore eliminating every other consideration from the discussion as foreign to the matter in hand we come down to the basic thought underlying the whole fabric, namely business and the interest of Horry. As is well known there are several propositions up before the com mission all of which will doubtless receive due consideration before the final decision is made. There is the Lewis offer of so many acres free, The Collins offer of a square free, the Uurroughs offer of land suplcmcnted with a cash offer, the Conway Land and Improvement Co. offer of land free at High l'oint, the present site, the Norman lot and the Heaty property, The two last named will have to be purchased outright at tip top market prices. It is admitted by all that the present site is entirely too small for the purpose, To meet this serious objection it is urged by those who favor rebuilding on the present sites that the commission pay $f>,000 for a li ttle bit of dirt and a dilapidated building. Should the commission decide to do this, which 1 seriously question, the expense will not stop here as sites would not yet he sufficiently large to accommodate ihe buildings which it is proposed to erect, so the other two lots will have to bo purchased at a 1 cost ranging in price anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000, leuvir.g Todd's cor ner lot, which cannot be purchased. . _ ? A \ - ' * 1 us a perpetual monument lo mo un business liko transaction Hut then i the expense of placing the new buildings where the old are ' enusi bo added ine cost of tearing ? dowi? the old ones and removing the debris, so it is within the bounds of reason to say that #15,000, if not more, of the $40,000 will have been expended before a piece of dirt is 1 broken lo receive the new ones. Sentiment says build on the old sites business says not, what say the commission? \Tho objection \ti L'cd against the t Norur'n lot is twofold First it is loo small for the purpose and the Lewis corner cannot he secured to enlarge it: and sedond, it necessitates the exoenditure, either in cash , or kind, of a larjje portion of the i resources at the disposal of thee m mission. Nearly the same ' l.jpotions, only with yroatly . added force and emphasis, is^ni^ucd against the selection of the Hont.V pi Operty because it is proposed to not only cxch mce a very valuable piece o property f<?v one less valuable in dollars and cents but to pay a diHerpnoe n cash,' the amount not being suggested. Lithcr one or all three of llit? above propo sitions must, lie re,eete(l as tin v are antagonist ie to sound business laws because the same ends and object can l>e accomplished more economi eall.v and with equal satisfaction to ! all parties concerned .by the select ion of one of tin; oilers of free sites. Kither one of theso free offers is by i far more advantageous to the county at large than either the present site, the Norman lot or the ileaty prop1 erty for the reasons stated above, 1 but in the judgment of thoughtful j men the Lewis offer is the most advantageous one .yet made because it combines nearness to the business 1 center of Conway with eligibleness of situation. The selection of this will mean a saving of an amount of > money anywhere from 10 to $15,000. - or in other words the entire $40,000 i can bo expended on tho buildings and a handsome sum can bo realized rnii ULfiT 1 !
