THE DISPENSARY SITUATION.
Showing the Status Rerum as to Lake
*" * City and 9cranton Dispensaries.
Several articles en this subject
have appeared in various newsjupjers
of State, and none
having HtteRipte^a full statement
ol the afkir we submit the following
as a condensed and more ac- '
cura'.e account of a matter that
promises to be cne of no small
interest te the public.
Some time early in January
feat a number of citizens of Lake
City and Seranton being opposed
to the establishment ar dispensaries
in either of these towns, and
being advised that the steps then
being taken to establish dispensaries
in these places were illegal,
determined tfc test the matter in
court. Laftrin January they retained
VV. Bass, Esq., of bake
City, who had suggested that the
matter, if tested, be carried to the
supreme. court, and he being infarmed
that S. W. (jr. Shipp, Esq ,
$f Florence, had also been consulted
in the matter, asked that he be
associated with him in the case.
These distinguished gentlemen,
L.?m% moMnr it\ oho rnrn nro_
JW'lflJj lap 'Ml VHH^Vy |/.vjjared
a petition, frem each town
addressed to the supreme court
asking thai the county board ot
control of Williamsburg county
and the proposed dispensers, M.
Ai. Kodgers and F. A. Parker,, be
perpetually enjoined from taking
any further steps to.wards the establishment
of dispensaries in
Lake City andScranton, under the
notice first published J?an. 2,1902,
imrlAi tho a/*. I known as the dis
pensarv law.
The above is.merely the substance
9f the,prayer. The petitioners recite
the history, step by step, of the
affair as it relates to each of the
towns. Several momentous questions
are raised, among the most
most important: are: (1) That the
notice published, by the board o(
control is fatally defective in that
it failed to,designate the townships,
/ in which the proposed dispensaries!
were.to be established, desigua,ting
no localities, but referring solely to
the election of dispensers; (2) that
the provision of Section yii of the
dispeusary law of 18% as follows:
*iProyided, tha? dispensaries may
be established ip the counties of
Williamsburg,, Marion, Sickens,and
at Seneca and other towns now incorporated,
in Oqonee county without
'such election or compliance
with the other requirements of this
act;" that this proviso is unconsti-'
tutional in, thjat it undertakes to exempt
VViiliatpsburg and the. other
named counties front, tire en tiro operation
of thp disppnsajy taw; (3)
that the prdyisp a/><>ye quofc-d. has
no reference to the towns where the
sale of liquor was prohibited b/ law
otho? thud an/1 trrt/tr hi t\\U (if ,
December 24, 18DJ, which act prohibited
ita ' sale throughout the
county. These petitions. were presented
by Hx.*. c*bipp to Chief Justice
Mcl,ver at chambers in Cheraw,
who granted a rule to show cause,
if any, before, the supreme court
April 21* 11)02,and an injunction re$tralni)i{?thp
board of control and
t,he ptjoppsed dispensers in the
meantjUnb frpip taking any further
steps towi^d tne establishment of
the proposed dispensaries, The order
and rule issued, by Judge McIver
on the 11th Inst simply on the
presentation of the petitions without
noticeto the.respondents, shows
f tjtiat the legal points rajsod therein
scarry considerable weight. The |

/
*
real rontest in these case*will eeme
up before the supreme court on
April 21, 1902, when the questions
set forth by the learned counsels,
Messrs. Bass and Shipp, will most
likely evolve grave Issues that will
be far reaching In their effects.
These cases will be watched with
peculiar interest not only in this
county but throughout the State.

QatcJ of Thank**
Editor County Record:
i take this method of extending
ray thanks and appreciation to my
many friends of this and adjoining
counties for their sympathy demonstrated
in a practical manner by
signing petitions to be sent to the
Governor, praying for my immediate
pardon. I shall ever feel
grateful to them all; and, by the
help of Ged, the remainder 0/ my
life shall be so consistently spent
that its record shall be a constant
evidence of my gratitude.

of my prison lile, but will
refrain lor fear it might not meet
the approval of the authorities.
Suffice it. to say that I was cared

We desire to say to our friends
and patrons that we are still carrying
on business at the old stand,
where we are better than ever before
prepared to serre them.
This will be perhaps the hardeet
year that our farmers hare had to
contend with since the war, and feeling
this ourselrcs we are going to
make it a study to try to plane provisions
of all kinds in Kingstree fo^
as little money as they possibly can
be laid down here tor and sold on a
strictly cash basis. Any business
man knows that Corn, Grits, Bacon,
Molasses, Flour aud such like goods
are the same as money. And what
our people need in Kingstree is a
i man who is able to eope with the
outside business world and bring
1 them to their doors as cheap as they
can get them in any market. '1 hi*
can only be done with the money,
and at the outset we want to tell oar
customers that it takes money to rnn
this kind of business. It never has
been attempted here before. It is
purely experimental, and whether it
shall succeed or fail depends upon
the support the people shall gite it.
Tn this day aud age in order to keopr
up with the markets of the world
a man has to study themand make it a
business and get prices way do.va in
order co know when aud where to
buy. With these introdactory
remarks we want now briefly to toll
you some of the goods we handle,via:
CORN, SUGAR,
OATS, COFFEF,
HAY, CIGARS,
GRITS. TOBACCO.
MEAL, SALT,
STARCH, CANDY.
FLOUR, . CHEESE,
LARD, CRACKERS,
BACON, MOLASSES,
BUTTER, STAR LYE,
SOAP. OIL,
CANNED GOOD3.
For prices come to see lis. We
sell the goods just as low as they can
be sold.
CORN
We are prepared to sell corn fair
future delivery. Prices can be ?xt*l
now to rtiu till May at one uniform
price. Price to-day, 85c per bash el.
BACON
Tbis is a special line with us, acM
if you give iw your business, be fl
large or small, we will watch yoiM
interests. S
