SAM JONES ON DISPENSARY
The Georgia Evangelist Sizes up
Our "Great Moral Institution."
<
I have spent three days of this 1
week in South Carolina, and I have j
been thinking considerably over what ^
I saw and heard on this trip as well
as on other tours through South Car- j
olina, I spent last Monday night In
Charleston. Our train on the Coast
Line was late. We got to Charleston <
about nine o'clock. I inquired at
the hotel for a decent restaurant. I
was reforred to one in the block of
the hotel. I went in, ordered my
supper. At the table next to me
were four young men, not eating, but 1
drinking. They were full wheu I got 1
in ; they were fuller when I got out.
When I got back to the hotel I re- 8
marked that there seemed to be more c
to drink than to eat at the restaurant 5
they referred mo to. That brought 8
on more talk, and the dispensary, '
with all its characteristics, was dis- n
cussed. *
VISITED SIX BLIND TIGEKS. j
A gentleman standing high in the
(inancial and polltioal life in South
Carolina proposed to mo that he
would show mo something if J would
Efo with him, and I uccopted his invitation,
and within two blocks he car- o
pled me into six full-fledged Charles- o
ton blind tigers. lie said there were
iOt) of them were raided by the state
tnd city constabulary frequently.
Cthers were immune; they never had ^
iieen raided.
H
There are 11 State dispensaries in ft
Charleston. I suppose they only do T
i small per cent, of the business in
iquor. The dispensaries must close ll
it (? o'clock in the evening and open si
it six in the morning, the names and $
jlnccs of these blind tigers are as y
vell-kr own in Charleston as the dotting
stores of George Muso and Eisenan,
or t he dry goods stores of Cham- lc
icrlin-Johnson and Keely in Atlanta. g<
Che dispensaries in smaller towns do
i largo business, and perhaps the Ii
mly business of any of them worth
ipeakingof; but they do business,
idling bust-heud from 10 cents u
lalf pint to 82 u quart. The State
s tho wholesale dealer and furnishes ^
ill rtie dispensarios, and the State's 1
irofit is made in their profits as they ^
ell to the county and town dispenaries.
For Instance each dispensary
>ays the State 12 cents a bottle for F
hat popBkull which the town dispenary
sells for 15 cents, and has the
State chemist on it, reading: "Nothng
chemically impure in this liquor."
do not know why they do not stamp M
in the bottle, "Nothing morally im- m
lure either." The one would go as
ar with me as the other. p
J TENDENCY OF DlSI'KNSAItY.
I once favored the dispensary as a jj
ilioice between the saloon and the dis- ?
rensaiy, for the following reasons: *
First, I thought ibe dispensary would A
put the bar room crowd Mud the liquor
interests out of politics, and we all kiio* ^
rchat a i?otent factor they make: secondly.
that the license feature by which the
offers of the town and state are emich- ^
?d, vould be done away with; and third- L
ly. because less liquor would be drank. \
But the South Carolina dispensarUs
demonstrate that liquor is in politics
worse in South Carolioa than auy state
In the union. And, secondly, that the 11
taxpayers are getting more money out of ^
it. And thirdly, that there is more
liquor drunk out of the dispensaries of
South Carolina, in mv candid judgment, "
than out of the full fledged bat rooms in I
other states. I
It will take South Carolina a hundred j
years to recover from the effects of the ..
dispensary; for dispensary liquor not v
only debauches the poor devils that
drink it, but the dispensary will debauch
the whole state in its politics and morals.
I am as much against the open saloon as
loon as I ever was. I am as much r
against the dispensary as I am against j,
the. saloon, and for ihe same reasons. j
flreenwood, 8. C , has never had a d spoiiRary.
For first class cit zenehip, intel- *
l'geuce, moralty and decency she stands o
without a peer in that state.' Clinton, S. ,t
O., I believe, is another of the same ^
stripe. But wherever you fiud a dispensary
you find a debauched sentiment ; and t(
growing greed on the part of the taxpay- g
els to push its busine8. aud increase its p
profits. Ij
VIEWS OF MINISTERS. 0
The best elements of South Carolina v
are against the dispensary; ihe worst elements
of South Carolina are against the 1
dispensary; and these two classes togeth- s
er do not make a majoiity In that state, t
(t is an anomalous state of things if the j,
best and worst elements of eociety be together
against any thing. 1
I do not remember that I have met a b
un'Kiv. iiiiuioidi iu juu ii miiuuiih, or (is- a
vout ChrLtan man. who wasn't against ^
the dispensary; and the worst feature ot
the dispensary system is, it lias fastened 11
itself like a leech, and has come to stay. 1
1 would rather undertake to vote the ?
saloons out cf Use >n, Atlanta or Savan- j,
nah than to m .leiiako to vote the disp .nsaiy
out ot Athens or Borne. I have not 1
only got to tight the liquor, but I have n
got to tight the profits of liquor that o
come to each tax-payer of the county, n
and when you touch the average fellow's
pocket you hAve hit a vital spot.
If any town in Georgia or other slate t<
contemplates Inaugurating a dispensary, t
let them send a committee of three bon- s
est men to Charleston, or Columbia, and .
take in also some of the smaller towns, 0
huu mxj iiib unrig as it is. That com- a
mtttee will come back and report unfavorably.
Keep your saloons until you
eau vote them out. but dor't ever oom- ,
promise by swapping your saloons for the '
dispensaiy.?Sam Jones, io Atlanta r

Nogro Problem Settled.
I wonder if it ever occurred to the
ace agitators that negro suffrage in i's
>gical analysis means the possibility of
ithiopia occupying the White House.
Vhy encourage a possibility that must
f necessity eventuate in an impossibil,y.
For as soon as the ntgro inicates
by his conduct that he is indicated
with the idea that the ballot
uarantees him all of its gumelastic
rivileges the Anglo-Saxon will teach
ira that the margin between the races
an never be diminished. And yet,
/ere I as strenuous a republican as
toosevelt, 1 would insist on proving the
incerity of our expressions of love for
lie negro by nominating Booker Wwshagton
as his running mate next June,
'hey would not only be companionable,
ut consistent in making the campaign
rm in arm and glove in hand, as they
uttonholed Caffee and Sambo in the invest
of leveliug all race distinctions
i'rom a patriotic standpoint, this ticket
/ould prove a blessing to to the nation,
i that it would be a short cut road to
lie end of the negro question. The
ovelty of such a ticket would soon rub
ut, and the thoughtful Northern white
lan would see in it the possibility of the
ice-president negro becoming, by some
ortuitous circumstance president, as in
lie case of Roosevelt, and they would
ink it on the Ides of next November
eneath an avalanche of votes as deep as
mill stone in mid ocean. U, F. 8.
