ments-Pen Picture of sfatssDispensary
CHARLESTON, S. c., June 30-A most
peculiar state of affai.s exists in Charles
ton. For 20 days or more the liquor and
grocery houses have been selling out their
stocks of wines and liquors at reduced
prices to get rid of them before July l.
when the state enters into monopoly of
the liquor business 1t is settled that there
is to be no state dispensary for the sale of
liquor in Charleston, and the people have
therefore been preparing for the new state
of things.
Many thousands of gallons of whisky
and brandy and many thousands of bottles
and casks of wine have been sold. So
great has been the demand that the rail
roads and steamships have been taxed to
transport liquors to the city, the present
stock having been long ago exhausted,
ana when the Evans law goes into opera
ton Mt midnight there will be few
MONIES IN Charleston that are not provided
with Mt least six months supply of liquor.
This is the limit which is generally set for
the law to last.
Bold and Unique Experiments.
Three times in the last half century the
state of South Carolina has attracted the
attention of the world by originating bold
and unique experiments in government.
Back In the '30s she startled the Union
with her sensational attempt mt nullifica-
ton. Thirty years later she led in the
fatal secession movement. Now, after the
lapse OF another three decades, the state is
about to inauguratc the most novel de-
parture in liquor legislation this country
has ever known.
On July the Evans dispensary law, en-
acted at the last session of the general as
sembly, goes into operation. BY the pro-
visions of this remarkable measure, for the
FIRST time in the history of the American
Union, the state assumes the functions of
the rumseller. "Dispensares" will take
the place of the saloons. The bartender
will make way for the official dispenser"
The corner grocery with barroom attach
ment, the club sideboard and even the
festive cocktail itself will be no more. In
their places Will reign the state saloon and
straight whisky. 'FefseA -.:s,.
