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,

.tIj<v?n8tiry system, because only in the
~~ provisions relating to the license system
is there any provision that it
. mustn't be sold between sunset aud
sunrise and not sold ou the premises,
must not be sold in less quantities
than half pint. 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 :
