J. . "Prohibition won't prohibit and i
therefore we should license the <
sa.e of whiskey, or sell it by State js
agency iu order to yet our share j;
iL~-' ef the money out of the business." |;
r>- * The foregoing is the entire!.
substance of the argument offered i
by those who prefer license, orj
the dispensary system ot selling
liquor, to prohibition. While you '
can find manv men, who, bv their 1
(
love of liquor, are influenced;
,v to oppose the suppression of li- j
m..- qoor filing, it is extremely dif-' j
ficult to find one man willing to j,
&-?: . nay, "1 wish it sold because I love (
it." The truth is, we have reach-}
ed the stage where every intelii-j
m. ***? man, almost without excep-M
tion, admits that whiskev selling j
Mi ** whiskey drinking are great j
moral wrongs, and those men
who are a."hamed to acknowledge
?? even to themselves, that they are
f, moved by their love ot liquor to
oppose prohibition, begin to say
^' " "prohibition won't prohibit."
Sbri^ Id the first place we have not;'
[tried prohibition and have no
right to say it will be a iailure.
I The opinions which come to us
tfom? prohibition States are always
colored with the views of
tfcesatbors. We have tried,wThou *
halt sot steal," and while we all
know that it doesn't perfectly
jj prohibit, still, we lack a great 1
deal of being willing to repeal the
lew. Bow would it it do to let 1
the State license a man to steal as 1
| Much as he could, provided, he 1
ppy one half to the State, one'sixth
to the county and one-sixth to
ajtbe town? "Thou shall not kill" 1
does not entirely prohibit killing. {
1hen why not for the sum of five ; r
hundred dollars license a man to 1
shoot down a few of his neighbors? ?

K Herat the milk in the cocoanut.
PPfc 'Your share! Your money? When, 1
|u:*- la the name of common sense, did {
r yea put anything into the busi- h
f"; v aess! The State put in at the J
v; . start $50,000, but she has taken it t
'Ste- Oat long ago, and is now running f
the bosines on the money which e
rightfully belongs to the poor ?
drinkers of intoxicating liquors in a
;f: pS-v the 8tate. What have you sober, t
^an people of Williamsburg j|j|
pat Into the Kingstree dispensary
HBP that gives you the moral right to t
mh- share in the profits? What have j
' yoa people in the town of Kings- j
I tne invested in (he dispensary U
here which gives yon the moral j
: nsht to apply the dispensary pro- v
fltstfe the education of your chil- 4
dren? If the State dfe not give in J
exchange for the money taken,
something which we all admit to t
L - be, in most cases,a positive injury v
to the purchaser, we might have t
a shadow of claim; but the fraud r
on the part of the State entirely a
??v., vitiates the right to our sharing in* s
the profits. t
The van who risks his carcass J
to rob your ben-roost for a chicken r
on which to feed his children, is \
. not half so culpable as the State
whan she takes a poor negro's dol- t
v v lar tad gives hjm in exchange c
f iatoxieating liquors on wh'ch to t
Ijjk*-} I* drank. t
The convent ion was not as well
attended as it should have been,
-> but it was made up of excellent c
material. There was a spirit of ^
_ earnestness running through the,0
body which foreshadowed good *'
';-v work in the near future. We will *
;J:: not be surprised to see the court ?
boost filled at the next meeting.

o elect tnew own alternates, it it
vas found that any one ol them
rouldnot go to the Columbia conrent

The secretary iutroduced the
ollowing resolutions, which were
inanjmouslv adoped:
Whereas, we regard the sale of
ntoxicating liquors as a great
noral wrung out of which grows
jauperism, strife and murder; aud
\V hereas, we elected a few years
igo to have the traffic in liquor
>rohibited in our State; and
Whereas the Legislature so intrucsed
by the people, not only
efused to so legislate, but provded
k scheme by which the traffic in
iquors has* been increased until
he State has become one vast j
iquor-shop, the management of.

he welfare ??f State; and
Whereas from this immense
iquor traffic through dispensaries,
blind-tigers" and '-original
aekage" stores the floodgates of
icll have l>een opened upon the poo- (
?le of the State and now crime is ;
broad in the laud while murder
ias increased in oar State at a fearulrate;
Now therefore be it
Resolved, that we, the people who
leeted to have prohibition, will
rise in our manhood and endeavor \
o right this great moral wrong, I
nd that we will unite our efforts
d elect to office men of known oppsiion
to the liquor traffic in any and
11 forms.
The county executive commit- <
