We have been t<dd time and again
that tho very worst thing that could
over come t<? Charleston would be
prohibition. That It would bad to all
?tanner of evlla. Whate\.it mig ht be
the thin* for other places it would not i
work In Charleston; for conditional
were very different there. But OOV,
Manning closed the dispensaries on
account of the riot incident t?. the
election ami the Charleston Post in
an editorial bears this testimony to
the blessings of prohibition during
that time:
"The closing of the dispensaries
during the period of disturbance in
Charleston consequent upon the
election conflicts, it is pointed ujt,
has resulted In large curtuilim nt oil
the county revenue. Nevertheless it
Is a price that will cluet l'ully be
paid for the security that has been
given against the addition el Intoxi?
cation to the other elements of
danger that threatened this com?
munity In the trying time through |
which wo are now gradually emerg?
ing. The sobriety of the people uir
der tho enforced ebbing of the die*
pensaties and tin strict maid upo.i
the illegal sellers of liquor has beer,
an Interesting and Impn^iv.- |? .a
onHtrathm of the p( ssih'.Mtics of
prohibition, to which the county
must come under the new order de?
termined by the people of the State,
if even such a measuro of en?
forcement as has been made d irln.'
the past two weeks can be malr tabl?
ed In Charleston OOntfoUOUely after
the new law {joes into operation, ;
there may be a much more general
persuasion of the inoriis of the policy
that has teen held in traditional op?
position by this community than hf
been expected That, however, is for
the future. Immediately the com- ,
munlty may view with equanimity any
temporary hisses that hav e come front
the altogether wide shutting down of
the dispensaries during tin days of
disturbance tbut are Just behind us,
even though there should not be an
almovt certain pj > of recoup!
In the brisk trade that will c >me with
tho reopening of tin liquor th pots."

The animals are the black AngUfl type, I
which Is said to he the best bet I eat

?IVO one that should meet with the ap?
