The New Liquor Law.
lAbbcyille Press and Banner.


The new law is better than the old law
for many reasons:
l. 1t divides the profits in the business.
In the first place. the State makes 30 per
cent on the original purchase, and then
the county dispenser is allowed to charge
his customers profit of 80 per cent over
the amount which he pays tc the State
commissioner for his liquors. The profits
on the county dispensary IS divided
equally between the county and the town.
3. 1t secures to the consumer guaran-
tee that he is getting gooc liquor at a
price much lower than we presume a
licensed bar could affcid 60 sell the same
goods.
9. The county dispenser, being paid a
salary, is not interested in increasing the
sa.es.
4. Not being pecuniarily interested, and
having to make monthly returns, he will
be less apt to sell to minors, drunkards
or other persons who would abuse its
use.
s. The liquor in the dispensaries is
sealed up in quantities from half pint to
five gallons, and the dispenser has no
chance to doctor it. The consumer
buys it in original packages and must
not open it in the dispensary.
6. The dispensary, we believe, viii
offer less inducements to minors, ano
others to Liter about the premises, ano
for this reason they will be less liable to
cultivate the drink habit. The great OBJ.
lection to open bars is the temptation
they offer to the young. Men who have
formed the. liquor habit will, in many In
stances, get it, no matter whether We
have bars or not, but if we do not have
bars the boys are more safe from the dan
gers of intemperance. The chief object
and aim of the temperance people is tt
save the young. They can do next t.
nothing with those who have already
i formed the drink, habit.

The Columbia correspondent Of the
Neus and Courier says: "The work among
the candidates for Federal Offices is going
on quietly. The liveliest contest seems
to be over the position of Disti i.c- Attor-
ney. Altogether have heard seventeen
names mentioned in connection with the
place; not all of them are pronounced
candidates. They are: Congressman Dar-
gan, Darlington; Col W. Perry Murphy,
Walterboro; ex-Congressman VIM. El-
lott. Beaufort; Col. J. F. Hart, York;
Joseph II. Earle. Greenville; Gen. Leroy
F. Youmans, Columbia; Charles A. Doug
lass, Columbia; Z. B. Murray, Anderson:
Walter Hazard. Georgetown; j. E. Boggs,
Pickens; Robert Aldrich, Barnwell; STAN
yarne Wilson. Spartanburg; W. c. Benet,
Abbeviile; Thomas NJ. Raysor, Orange
burg; Theodore D. Jervey, Charleston:
Gov John C. Sheppard, Edgetield, and
Congressman Johnstone. President
Cleveland ought certainly to be able to
make a first-class appointment out OF
this aggregation of legal talent, which
includes, by the way, four Tillmanites.
SO far as is known at this enc of the line
, the real contest for the place is between
Gen. Youmans, Col. Joseph II. Earle,
Congressman Elliott, c. a. Douglass and
Col. W. Perry Murphy"
