The sales at the dispensary yesterday were
$40. The day before they were S24S5. A we'll
known ex-barkeeper who was yesterday
questioned on the subject said that at his bar
averaged that amount day Tor week at a
time. The dispensary 30 far has average
about $37 day.-Greenville News.
Facts like the above are very gratifying to
plohibitionists. and 60 long way TO prove
that the dispensary is having q wholesome
effect. When the whiskey business of a great
city like Greenville Is reduced to $37 day,
the prohibftionists have no special grounds
for finding fault with the law.
In Abbeyille the sales have averaged, since
the iirst Of July. about $40 day. This mus,
be Q great reduction in the traffic.
Up to January OF this year we had five II.
censed bars. The license fees Of each were
To the town, $500; TO the State, 500; to the
United States, SIS. add store rent an average
say $3.50 for each. Then add clerk hire, ser.
wants, wood, lights. and incidental expenses
including salary for the owners. and we
would have an average cost OF keeping open
each bar Of say, something like 81 900 10
R,00-to say nothing OF the capital invested,
and losses from credit sales.
The annual expense then Of keeping open
five bars would aggregate something like
5000 or $4,000.
To pay this large amount Of expense would
require business much larger than is now
done by the dispensary.
The dispensary costs 81, 200 per annum, and
1t IL estimated that the profits on the business
a. now conducted Will be larger than were
the profits on the old way OF selling whiskey.

8. "a majority OF the Tillmanltes believe It

"a few OF the more conservative element

We are not certain how the News and Cou-

best people stand, or as far as that matter is
concerned, how the sentiment OF the other

whether the Press and Banner is considered
one OF the best people, but we claim TO have

what we have been contendIng for, yet we
are fully convinced that the dispensary is a
vast improvement on the old license system,
and II the editor Of this paper has any infiu-
ence It will be in sustaining the dispensary
law a. against the license system, but as be-
tween the dispensary and prohibition we are
for prohibition.
When we have gained that foothold and
overcome the seeming determined effort on
the part Of those who favor the license sys-
tenn, we may then seek further to reduce the
evils OF the whiskey traffic.

The DisDens8ry.

Much interest is now felt in the fate OF the
dispensary law.
Everybody talks Of 1t, and everybody
seems anxious to hear the outcome Of the
whole matter.
Nearly everybody has decided convictions
one way or the other, and the manifest in
terest almost approaches feeling.
A majority Of the lawyers concur In Hud

Whatever the fact may be, II looks to US
like politics is at the bottom OF most of 1t.
And just now 1t looks as If the liquor men
we're ahead, but Tilltnan may be heard from
In a little while.
If he be weak in the knees he will certainly
be put to route, and whether SO or not the
Courts may decide against him. Such decis

hotter political con test In the future would
result.

In the newspapers long and abusive letter

warrant many OF his assertions. AS between
these prominent members Of the Reform
party, we are not particularly concerned, but
because General Farley was once newspaper
man we sympathise with him, and regret
that his ill-temper has led him into a mistake
in publishing letter which is so vindictive
that its evil effects can only hurt its author.
