Keep the Record Straight.
The writer of the following
article, which appeared in the
Charleston News and Courier on
Thursday, March 4, is either
sadly misinformed or has a very
poor memory:
l{ Williamsburg.a Wet County"
King8tree, March 3.?Special:
The people of "Williamsburg county
generally are heartily tired of the
annual shaking up of the dispen.
sarv law. Two years ago they voted
on the question, whether Williamsburg
county would or would not
retain the dispensary, and they answered
that question significantly
and positively by retaining the dispensary
in its present form. They
are well satisfied with the system
as it stands today, and regret
that they must again vote on a question
which they have so recently de
cided by the ballot. Sober, thinking
men see no reason to believe that
there has been a change of sentiment
since the last vote on the question.
Many good men who are at
heart and in principle prohibitionists,
will vote to retain the dispensary
because they do not wish to see
a blind tiger at every crossroads and
hamlet, and this will inevitably be
the result of prohibition in this
county.
Let us keep the record
straight. The last ami only election
ever held 111 Williamsburg
on the question of "Dispensary"
or "No Dispensary" took place on
JNovemoer -i, kjuc II1UU3aud
thirty-five votes were polled
and on the face of the returns
the "No Dispensary'' side won
out by 141 majority. The county
board of canvass-rs so dec 1 a r ed
the result and an appeal was
made to the State board of canvassers
on the ground of irregularities
in holdiug the election.
The State board of canvassers
reversed the finding of the county
board and the election was
declared uull and void. The
main point on which the election
was upset was based on the fact
that two ballot boxes were used in
holding the election, thus, it was
alleged, destroying the secrecy of
the ballot.
So little attention is given to
the colonels on the Governor's
staff that the average leader in
lookiug over the names of the recently
appointed batch cannot dis\
tinguish the new ones from the
he Movers.
The groundhog may have been
ultra conservative in South Carolina,
but he undoubtedly hit the
nail on the head around Washington
in foreshadowing the elemental
violence that prevailed on
inauguration day.
Thousands of old veterans and'
other admiring friends sympathize j
with General M C Butler, who is
desperately ill in a Columbia infirmary.
