The Goqdeinor Auks the Mayors of Cities a series of Questions About the Enforcetont of tPe Law. The following firoul' as been sent to the Mayors of v a tOwns and olties in the State: COLUMBIA, Nov. 1, 1900. Dear Sir: Soon after I came into 0111o0 I addressed a communication to the mayors:and intendants of the var ous cities and towns in this State ask ing their co-operation in the enforce menG of the dispensary law. Th re sponees which I received wore very encouraging, and I am sure that this request for the co-operation of the municipal authorities resulted in ood and a better. enforcement of the law. My purpose now is not only to renew my request for the hearty co.operation of the mun'cipal authorities In the en forcement %of this law, but also to re ceive any edggestionB that any of these oflicers.my feel inclined to make. In asmuch ps,tbe.people of the Stato have shown in several elections by a very decided majority that they are in favor of, the dispen'sary system, it -seems to ine that the best thing for all good citizens to do is to go earnestly to work to amend and improve the law and as far as possible perfect the sys tem. This should be the duty not .only of those who arp in favor of the system, but also of th'ose who have op posed it. I have endeavored to enforce the law without friction and without blood shed and I feel gratified at the result. I feel satisfied that the only way to secure a strict enforcement of the law is -to have a healthy public sentiment In favor of its enforcement. This can be accomplished much better when all the 14w oflicers in the State, Including the niunicilpal authorities, co-operate with the special constables in its on forcement. I desire to secure certain information in regard to the enforce ment of the law in your town and in order to get it I would appreciate it If you would answer the questions which I enclose herewith. I am fully con vinced that much of the prejudice which has heretofore existed against the dispensary law does not now exist and a great many of those who at one time bitterly opposed it have como to realize that it is the best solution of the liquor question that has yet boen 2 devised. The principal thing now is to have it properly enforced, and with a healthy public sentiment in its favor h and a realization on the part of the .' municipal authorities that it is part of their duty to assist and co-operate in rt its enforcement, violations of the law a will grow less and' less. It is my de r sire to see that illicit sales of whiskey are put down, and also that those in charge of the dispensary do not violate the law either. 8 If special constables are not needed %j in your town to assist the police 1 will m withdraw them and on the contrary if In they aronteded I will be glad to have e you indicate it and I will see that they is are sent. I believe as a rule you can -e enforce the law better with your own I police than it can be done by a special )f constable. ilr I would like to have an early re 19 sponse from you to the questions which le -I have asked and also any suggestions - which you may think advisable for the .(I improvement and enforcement of the law and I willhe glad to have yoi give t, your views fully.
