BILL TO REFORM
The Scuth Carolina State Dispensary.
A COM PLfcTK sYSOPiflh
Of the Ravsor-Manning Bill. Which Wat*
Originally the Work of Senators
Raysor of Orangeburg, and
Manning ot Sumter, But
I* Somewhat Alttred.
The bill popularly known a* tin
Rajsor M>.lining, because It wan th<
Joint work of Senator? U .vror. of Or*
atgeburg ana M.uinlij*, of Sumter
being tUe fruit or the matured thought
and labor of these two meo; who con
sclenlioiislv believing that the dispensary
system, properly aud honest
ly conducted, offers, under the condilions
prevailing In the State, not
only the best, but the only practical
and satisfactory means of controlling
the liquor Iratllc and minimizing th<
evils that attend the use of any anc
all alcoholic liquors an a beverage,
sought to frame a law that woulc
purge the State Dispensary of tht
corruption believed to exist theroli
and so to hedge about the manage
ment with the restrictions that tht
opportunity for graft and dishonest;
In the purchase of l'.quor and othei
supplies, which the law as it stooc
not only permitted, but appeared t<
invite, would be Impossible.
Senators Raysor and M wining with
the same object in view, viz: to male
the dispensary as nearly as possible t
graft-proof business institution, whict
under the exercise of the police pow
er of the State should control and reg
ulate the liq lor triflis, which is con
ced'd by all to be an evil that of nec
ess.ty must be regulated and curtail
ed lor the public good worked Inde
pemiently at first, each preparing a
bill to be lntroduoed In the Senate
"When the legislature convened they
found that their bills were drawn on
similar lines and they, therefore, de
elded to J )intly prepare a new bill,
utilizing t-he best features of each of
the two previously prepared. Th<
greatest care was exercised in drawing
this bill; information and suggestions
were sought irom Senators and
others who desired to purify the dls
pensary system and make it the inetfir
wer* t f/v? 4. V? ? a J - 1 '

capable of being made. When the
bill was completed and Introduced in
the Senate It at once came to be
known as the Riysor Manning bill.
Upon betng refeirad to oomrulttee
In tii? regular order, the bill was given
throughtful consideration and a
klglri and patient analysis. The result
of the committee's consideration was
a substitute bill, which embodied the
distinctive features of the original
bill, that being used as a frame work,
aud also the Ideas of tho committee
and others who had made suggestions
looking to the perfection of the pro
posed new dispensary law. Among ,
the suggestions thus embodied in the ,
bill was one mada by Senator Ti 1man
that liquor be purchased from
United States bonded warehouses ex- |
ciustvely.
This substitute bill, which was in (
fact, the committee's bill, although ,
built upon the Raysor Manning bill ,
as a foundation, was still popularly |
known as the Riysor-Manning bill |
and by that title it Is yet known.

Representatives rcJ,.oted and practi- j
cally refused to consiaer at all, after ]
the elT >rt to force th* Morgan ( louse)
bill through the Senate had failed
This Is the measure f hat is no-* the
leading issue in the State campaign,
and which is the dl*peu?ary pank
in the platform of Mr. Richard 1
Manning in his campaign for gover
nor.
Occupying as it docs so important
a place amcngst the issues of the
campaign, a pynopsis of the bill will
be both interesting and instructive.
Section 1 prohibits the manufacture,
sale or keepiuu of spirituous,
malt or other intoxicating llqu >r that
is used as a beverage, except as hereinafter
provided, under a penalty
All liquors sold or kept in the state,
whether manufactured here, or inported,
are r< quired to be tested by
the chemist of the South Carolina
College to determine their purity
and all liquors not so heated are u oUr
ed detrimental to the morals, goor'
health and gt.fety of the State, and
all suoh liquors may be seized wrier ever
found, without & warrant. 1

followed by those who desire to liuport
liquor for personal use in order
that they may do so legally. The e>pense
of making tests of liquors to
determine their purity are to oo paid
by the State treasnrer, out of the
funds of the dispensary In his hands
and not by the board of direotors as
heretofore.
Section 2 repeals Section 656 which
creates the State Board of Direotors
and thereby abolishes that board, the
three members of which are intrusted
with the management of a $3,000,000
^qslness and paid only 0400 a
year apieoe. This Is one of the most
Important, as well as sensible and
neoessary reforms contemplated by
the bill.
The next section (3) is the most
striking feature of the entire bill as It
contains the provisions that wlU wipe
out the graft that has attended the
purchase of liquor and other die
%
jcnsary supplies. It first provides for ]
he election of a commissioner at a <
salary of t3 000 per year, who shall be i
he executive board of the State dispensary.
Ills tTm of r files is fixed i
