to prohibit the sale of liquor,

but to provide that only the
pure beverage shall be sold, and
that in such a manner as to rid
the state of the social and bar
room evil. Persons who are
not accustomed to getting in
toxicated may under the provis
ions of the proposed Act procure
all they want to drink or give
away. There shall be a State
dispenser, who shall sell to
county dispensers, at a profit
not to exceed 25 percent, liquors
which have been tested and pro
nounced pure by the chemist of
the South Carolina College, who
shall receive no pay for this ser
vice. The bill says that the
State commissioner shall before
shipping any liquors to county
dispensers cause the same to be
put into packages of not less
than one-half pint nor more
than five gallons, and securely
seal the same, and it shall be
unlawful for the county dispen
ser to break any such package
or open the same for any reason
whatever. He shall sell only
by the package and the pur
chaser shall not open the same
on the premises. Manufacturers
within the State shall sell only
to the State dispenser and par
ties without the State. Any
person shall have the right to
make wine for his own use from
grapes or other fruit. There
shall be a dispenser in each
county who shall sell in the
original package. Before sell
ing to any person a request
must be presented giving the
name, age, etc, of the applicant
and for whom the liquor is in
tended, but he shall not be re
quired to state for what use.
The request may be refused if
the county dispenser personally
knows that the person applying
is a minor, that he is intoxicat
ed, or that he is in the habit of
using intoxicating liquors to ex
cess. If the party is unknown
he must get a statement from a
reliable party that he is not a
minor and does not drink to ex
cess. The bill further makes it
a misdemeanor to keep or main
tain, or assist in keeping or
maintaining, any club room or
other place in which any intoxi
cating liquor is received or kept
for the purpose of barter or sale
as a beverage.
“The system of State and
county dispensaries is practi
cally the same as that provided
in the Nettles bill—of the pro
fits made from the sale of liquors
by county dispensers 60 per
cent shall go to the State, 40 per
cent to the county and 10 per
cent to the city. Fifty thou
sand dollars is to be appropri
ated to set the system going.
The bill is merely intended to
regulate the traffic.”
It will thus be seen that the
Administration party is at sea
regarding prohibition. They do
not know what to do with it.
Our advice to them is to leave
the matter severely alone. This
advice is not given so much in
the interest of the Administra
tion as in the interest of the
State. Any prohibition bill
that may be passed will be a
farce as regards drinking and
will at the same time do great
injury to South Carolina.

Why Don't You Relieve Younelve*
from the Cur Dog Nuisance.
To the Editor of the News
and Courier : It was with plea
sure that I read your comments
on the conduct of certain legis
lators who raised a titter when
Mr. Covington had the temerity
to introduce a bill to tax dogs.
It has been the custom from
time immemorial to meet this
question in this way, by ridicule,
for there is no argument that
can reach it. Common sense,
facts and figures, all show how
important it is to have some
such law, and it is amazing to
see farmers dodging this issue
that so deeply effects the inter
est of the whole State outside of
the cities.
I do hope that this Legislature
will meet the difficulty, for it
seems to be quite a difficulty,
and give some protection from
the dog nuisance We have a
right to expect such a reform
after such high-sounding prom
ises as have been made. It is
not surprising to see men of
other professions ignore this
subject, but when I see a farm
er dodging it I can’t do the sub
ject justice, for no man can
properly claim that he is work
ing for the interest of farmers
who opposes a bill that has for
its object the protection of prop
erty, and there is no way in
which our property is so much
endangered by the depredation
of other people’s property as
this. A proper tax will bring
destruction on most of the
worthless dogs that run mad
and bite your children, and he
who owns a good dog will cheer
fully pay a reasonable tax on
his dog, and then he should be
protected in the ownership of
his dotr and made liable for the
sheep killed by him. This can
be done by the use of a block
and chain at night.

It was proven that he had fre-

had threatened to kill her; but,
strange to say, no marks of
violence could be found on her
person. The jury’s verdict was
that she was murdered by her

A Fight that Threatens to Stop
Wheels of Government.
Montgomery, Ala, December
0.—From the present outlook
the State of Alabama is about to
pass through its most uncom
fortable experience since the re
construction period. “I am
having a bitter fight to save my
State from dishonor,” said Gov
ernor Jones to-day, “and I am
going to win in the end. I will
block the State Government,
shut up the schools and close
the Courts before I will consent
to nullification and repudiation
on the part of the Legislature.”
There is nothing in this in the
nature of an idle threat, and
from present appearances Gov
ernor Jones will have an oppor
tunity to carry out his determi
nation, for there is not the
slightest doubt that he will keep
his word. Members of the Leg
islature are worked up over the
situation. There is almost daily
a caucus which lasts far into
the night.
The situation is partly the
outgrowth of the late election.
The Kolb men in the Legislature
have made up their minds to fight
Governor Jones to the end, and
they are conducting the fight on
the line of economy This has
proved attractive to many mem
bers who belong to the regular
ly organized Democracy. In
deed, the leader of the fight for
economy is a regular Demo
crat.
Many bills making reductions
have been introduced. These
are made mostly in salaries of
officers under control of the Leg
islature. Some idea of the re
ductions may be gained when
it is said that the salary of the
Attorney General of the State is
fixed now at $1,800. The ap
propriation bill makes sweeping
reductions all along the line
the normal school and State
militia are the hardest hit. In
his last inaugural Governor
Jones made special pleas for
these. He has characterized
the reduction of the military ap
propriation as a bid for an
archy.
A conference of the leaders of
the House was held last night
with the hope of arranging mat
ters. It lasted nearly all night.
Appropriations were taken
and gone over item by item,
was announced this morning
that Mr. Brower, the Regular
Democrat, who is leading the
campaign for reduction, had
reached an agreement with the
others. Later Mr. Brewer said
that he had made no promise at
all, and that he purposed to
push the fight as hard as ever.
This made the Regulars angry,
and a determined effort is now
being made to reach an agree
ment.
Brewer has said that he would
resign his seat and go home be
fore he would retreat. Of
course, the Kolb men are with
him, and they, with the recal
citrant Regulars, hold the bal
ance of power. If Brewer and
the others hold out the appro
priation bill will pass as repor
ted. It will be vetoed by the
Governor, the wheels of Gov
ernment will stop, and there
will be troublous times in Ala
bama.

Washington, Dec. 7.—The
