HIGH LICENSE BILL MAY BE SOLUTION. Col. B. A. Morgan Talks of His Pending Measure. Greenville, November 10.?Representative B. A Morgan has given close study to the whiskey probhtn and he is probably one of the best iuformed men in the stute cti the subjoot. In an interview with the State's correspondent he had some interesting things to say and the mooted question "Alter the dispensary?what?" aas commented upon at some length. In reply to that query Mr. Morgan said: "I wish I could t?P you O-dimri- ! ly on questions of great moment one can pretty well tell what the legisbit ire is goiug to do, but in thlf in stance it would not do even to guess at it. "You see, when we adjourned last winter, but one county had voted the dispensary out, and since that time such a number have gone 'dry' that unless you kuew what effect the goiDg 'dry' would have on the respective representatives, it is idle to estimate the action of the house. If I remember correct)y, some counties have voted out, the dispensary whose representatives were standing by it heretofore." "Do you think the legislature at the coming session will take action in the matter?" ] "Yes, I think there will be positive J action of some kind in the legislature the coming session. I understand i there are a number of bills being prepared by various members. and that bills covering almost every phase of the question will be introduced." "What about your license bill, Mr. Morgan?" "I have felt a little lonely wit It mv license bill last session. At that i time but one county, us before saitl, had voted out the (iispeiusary and any idea looking to abolishing the machine was quite foreign to most of the members, so, when I introduced a bill to that etreot and it was promptly roferred to the committee on the dispensary and that committee as promptly returned an unfavorable report, J was left in u class all to myself. In the five sessions I have attended not a session has passed but some bill looking to a change in the dispensary law has been introduced, but not one of them went to the root of the thing and sought to dig it up entirely. Such a bill was so out of the ordinary, the Brice bill was not excepted, that it really scented to some as foolhardy and some newspapers criticised it only so far as to say that if its author thought he was inuking a short cut to fume he was wsefuily mistaken. But if I mistake not. some counties in which such criticisms were made have since administered the dope. 1 .My license bill is on the calender for next session, being No. 1(50, having been introduced last year and coutinucJ. I think, now, that I will amend the hill so us to make it of force in all counties alike, in order to conform to the const itut ion, and will. therefore, make it in the first place a pure and simple prohibition measure, with provisions allowing the people in the various counties to vote upon the question whether liquor shall he sold in such county under the license ' or county dispensary system. If the people vote against both systems, ( why. the county remains dry. Ivt other words, it is local option b/_ tween prohibition, high license couofcy dispensary." J I "Is high license u barroom ' Mr. Morgan?" -No. high license is not jf tarroom system. Why, I will takjf th(. aon_ stitution and prove to yc^ tj1Ht it the most prohibitive sW m under the constitution. I havef, (|,?usM at. good people holding if the|r hand3 in holy horror at ttf h h |ice?se system and calling th(. bllrroom system, when, K/hey but kllew it, u legislature can/ooa . ,. ., ji'uoo cv uvuou tutiuiim law permitting ? . . . , .

Take the constitution and road the clause relating to the matter and it takes no judge or court to codsItuo it, the moaning is jpgr >"lr in plain English I would ask yor to publish the section of the consti t nt ion r< l ilieg to this business am l?-t the re.-der construe it for himstll "My purpose is to minimize th uusltiess; not lo insgr.i ?y it. I hav therefore put every restriction arouti ii known to the dispensary law nil many others beside, nnd to my mind he license system is the most pre hibitivo under the con it it ut inn, don't mean to say that the dispct Bury Jaw now has many restriction thrown around the business, hub the dispensary na now iu force goes and jou ask what next? I um slinpl teliir.g jon that- it is in the power < trie legislature to pass a law that wi permit the stofl to bo bought and sol after night, drunk over the count* if need lie, and in ns small quantitb u< the legislature may see fit to mal i hut thut If the license system a lorded no constitutional law can i e oscicd that will permit any sue i things. "But 1 have said enough," cot tlnued Mr. Morgan., "because 1 don k io\v what the conditions may be I | the time we meet in January, and m iv I ve to recast rnv intentions i : to what kind of bill 1 will offer, < may thir k it best not to cffer uny i all L shall do then as I have alwa; done, do that which I think is to tl best interest of the people us a whol acting solely with the lights then b foro me. I introduced the hij license hill for this very reason, b cause I thought 1 saw in the not fi away future a disintegration of tl dispe isary and I wanted to offer I ! the people a measure that would i | least cause them to study the on [ methods offered by the constilutio ; and ultimately select the be* whether it be a piohibitive one, i one by the licet 93 system or by tl county dispensary system." CONSTITUTIONAL FltOVKIOX. j The constitutional provision refe red to* is us follows : ' Article eight?Section 2. In tl exorcise of the police power the ge etai Hss?uibly shall have the right prohibit the manufacture and sn and retail of alcoholic liquors i beverages within the state.
