READY FOR A CHANGE.
Ion. J. Davis Carter Believes that thi
Dispensary Should Go.
Editor County Record: I havi
been for a number of years waitinj
patieutly for a time when the seuti
mpnt of our DeoDle woulu be suffici
' . """"""" " r a
ently strong to demand aud carr;
into effect a prohibitory law agains
the sale of spirituous liquors; henc
I hare been a believer in the dis
pensary law, thinking and believing
it to be a step in the right directioi
to bring about the desired end. But
after 13 years trial, I am convince!
I - that its usefalness as such has passed
After a careful survey of the field
find that the towns are now backing
and favoring the dispensary on ac
count of the revenue that it bring
into the treasury, and I admit tha
fiom a money stand-point it is a
profitable business, but to the coun
\ try it is not We have no officer
of the law to keep things quiet ant
you will find that most of the crime;
committed from drinking are dom
' in the country where there is n<
protection.
Now, from a business stand
point, let us view the dispensan
system. Does it bring more busi
ness into the town? I think not
Seven-tenths of the money spent foi
whiskey should and would be'speu
for family necesaries if the tempta
tiou was out of the way. And th<
same rule will apply to the country
therefore, froai a business stand
point, I fail to see where we are ben
.etited by the sale ->f whiskey, to sa^
nothing of the mora! suit* of th<
/iiiastinn
Now as to the management?an
the people of South Carolina satis
tied with the management of thi:
great moral and political institution!
I say no; and without a genera
shaking-d^ and straightening oui
and bracing up, it will fall to piece:
of its own rottenness. County aftei
conuty is nonvoting out the dis
pensary; when are the people oi
-old Williamsburg ready to fall ii:
.line? I for one am now ready.

I- The tattling novelette which appears
complete in Liepincott's
Magazine for June is the newest
and perhaps the brightest, of all tin
sea stories by the Rev Cyme Town
S send Brady. It ;s noteworthy thai
e. Mr Brady is just reentering the min
rs istry, which he left several yean
r ago for the pursuit of literature
g This, tht-re ore, is probably the lasl
tale we shall have from him foi
ie years to come. It recites the rnmuqct
of a lighting Lieutenant f the Civi
r) "War and a Southern girl who conic
almost discount him in bravery,
^ Their adventures terminating in the
right kind of a match, are varied
y through all the episodes of a seafight,
imprisonment, and escape; and
they are enveloped in the picturesque
11 local color which Mr Brady nevei
fails of creating.
