AMONQ TUE EXCHANGF.S | ?????????????????????? The Unregenerato VI?*?. On high moral grounds The I .an i'eno Advertiser, which advocates State prohibition, agrees with The NewH and Courier, whose view is un regenerate, that, the State dispensary commission .should pay the debts eontrac.ted by ?the State dispensary directors for the whiskey that they bought, because the State authorized ">heir purchase by law. The News -nd Courier Is gratified to discover that at loast one prohibition author ity "concurs in the result.'* its the Justices of the Supreme court would aay; namely, that a purchase of whls ney lawfully made o i credit carries with It an obligation to pay Cur l.aureus contemporary, however, be lieves that the dispensary law was, unconstitutional, but that "the mo rality" of the debts Incurred under ic is none the loss established. in other words, The Advertiser, while K In aure that the State dispensary was a gigantic blind tiger, thinks ?hat because It operated under the eolor of law. Its obligations are bind ing. We suppose that by the same t'Tocesa of reasoning the debts due ? o a blind tiger openly defying the law would be binding in The Adver tiser's opinion, as it rests its conclu sion on morality in distinction rroin legality. Our prohibitionist friends are. therefore, driven to the conclu sion that the State .should pay for liquors used to destroy homes, to -ncourago and promote murder and other crimes and to corrupt the body politic. In this Connection, it may be worth while to Impress upon the "winding up Commission" that under the terms of the State dispensary Act "all alco holic liquora. whether manufactured within this State or elsewhere, not jiaving been tested by the chemist of the South Carolina college and found ?o be pure ami free from poisonous, hurtful and deleterious matters.'' were thereby "declared to be of a detrimen tal character and their use and con sumption against the moral-., good health and safety of the State. All wicked liquors were absolutely out lawed by the Act, which also consti tuted the chemist of the South Caro lina college the sole arbiter in re gard to those "good.-."' The com mission, therefore, in considering the claims of whiskey houses, should de pend especially upon the evidence of Ihe chemist of the South Carolina college in passing upon th- legality of the claims, and it apparently is not bound in conscience to pay for any lictuors that the chemist does not a wear were wholly free ol the in nirlous qualities indicate.|. HYoni the point of view of the pro hibitionists wo suppose that the chem ist could have found no alcoholic li quors that were not "hurtful." Put bs we understand from The Adver tiser, the prohibitionists will forbear to raise that point We would Im press, however, that a whiskey house which sold liquors that failed to measure to the test of virtu.- pre icribed by the chemist is entitled to no consideration I he whiskey bouses ?hance and sold liquors containing Knew the law. and if they look a banco and nold llpuors containing poisonous, hurtful aal deleterious .natters," they will have no right to .omplatn If their claim.- be thrown lUt of court. The law did not con ? emplate a sale of whiskey containing ?ome good and some bad ingredients. fk whiskey with slight infusions of poisonous and hurtful matter was in violation of tbe law. and whe.it! recalls the character of the stuff that the State dispensary handled on.- is in despair for these claimants. However, the State of South Caro lina cannot afford to Incur the danger of j charge of repudiation, ami it were Letter for the Commission to err on the side of liberality in dealing with the claims than to have it sah| Unit 'he Stat" attempts to evade a contract Tnls. as we repeat.
