"DISPENSARY, NO! YES!"
The law relative to the establishintg
and (th removia of dispensaries in
(hid State is publishet olsewhere in
this paper. It can be vted on and
be kept running or shut up at the
will of the people. We want everA
person in this county to read the law
and then sign the petitions, or not.,
as he seos lit, auld if the election i
ordered, theni to g- and voto as lie
seen fit and as his ciascionco dictates
When you haIvo hlisoe 111 tho .ou

There are tp itionn being circuln
ed asiling for ani ecction on thit
questio ; Runny are signing , thewt.

questiont. If volt sign 1i11d thiei thien

This newspaper would inot be
worthy of the nieun of a lowspaper
if it did not stand up for what it btd
lieved to be riglt and the best inter
ests of tite couuty at i hgo. It be
lieves in tle Jeffersouian dcclcinue of
"a government of the people, by the
people and for the people," and to
have this all the people are entitled
to a say so-not just a few. Because
of free speech and free ballot was
the primary plan of elections inau
gurated. The editor, personall3, is
quito differett from hti character as
at newspaper man, While personi ally
he might be in favor of the dispon.
sary, as editor lie is not suoh a big
fool that. he intends to brook thu will
of the people. They are entitled to
a say so in tho law making power ol
the State, noud as editor hie proposes
to stand for their rights, regardless
of who it makes or breaks, megard
less of friend or foe, regardless of
his own, person~al interests, beca use
he believes it right. If the cause is
defeated he will gracefully bow to
the will of the people and humbly
submit to the inevitable, lie is nto
afraid of starving, be the result what
it-may.
The dispensary was fastened int
this town over thte protest of her citi
zens- they fought thon for what thtey
believed to be right; then) how can
thtey argme to keep the thing here?

1Par burg Falls in Line.
The following editorial ap
peared 'in esterday's Spartan
burg Herald:
The .voters of Spartanburg
county are to have an oppor
tunity in the near future to de
cide for themselves whether cr
not the dispensary shall remain
in this city. It is fairly and
squarely "up to them." A pe
tition is being circulated, and
it it secures the necessary num
ber of signatures-one fourth
of the qualified voters, an elec
tion will be held, and we firm
ly believe that the dispensary
will be voted out. There is a
solemn moral obligation con
fronting the citizens when this
petition is presented, and the
issue should be met without
evasion.
The institution has friends
in Spartanburg, as is the case
where it operates throughout
the State-it is powerful, mo
nopolizing, and seeks to fetter
the legislation of South Caro
lina with rivets of bribery and
corruption, A great whoop
,nd slogan will be raised about
the benefits and the sums paid
in as "atet profits," for the
schools and county expenses.
It will be asked why kill the
goose laying the golden egg?
But the fowl is corrupt, the,
money comes as the tribute of
the drunkard, c ebau c lie e,
worthless sot to t he court of
rum. The pains and aches and
pangs of the forsaken wife, the
neglected mother, the aban
doned child, the worthless life,
all are stamped as clearly on
this money as the image of the
goddess of liberty on the silver
half dollar.
Let the people have a voice
in the matter, and the dispen
sary's days are nuimbered.
HOW IT IS WORKING.
From the Gafeuey Ledger.
Some folks sy that You can't bavo
prohibition, and we know wo haven't
,r0 it in tbis county, because wEi saw
jverl jgs of liqor come in by ex
prebs theo other day, but wei are hiero,
to testify that asI ai conls(quce ot

inmuity isi inifinitely better oil. The
otheor (1ay3 wo asked! a prominent cr imi
nal levyewvr what be thbought iaboutL t
oporations of the taw, and~ bo s'aid in
etfreel. that there was no calculating
the benefits the country was deriving
from it; that lifo was munch saferi, andt
that the present terma of court would
have less criminal bunsiniess than any'
temsic the organization of thme
county. When asked1 if he4 waUS will
ing to pay the a klitional tax incurred
by voting out the (aiEpPensary, lhe ye
ltied: "Yes, anmd thn i'Me over."
Only yesterday a mmagistrmatoe cmiam
into this ofiico to purichlase a lot of
blanks, such as summIIous, etc ,an
he took occaision to say that the smal
purchmaso lhe wvas making was (1ue to
votinhg oJut the dispensory', as he prac

civil business. 1-fe said ho firmly be.
