"As to the dispensary," said Governor
Evans tonight, sit will continue its oper-
ations as heretofore, and the case will be
pushed to the supreme court of the Uni
ted States as speedily as possible. It's an
absurdity to argue that congress has the
right to pass law giving to the State the
right to absolutely control whiskey
brought into the borders of the State as
though it were manufactured In the State
and yet powerless if, perchance, a per-
iured barkeeper may maintain it is for his

onton's utter disregard for the Wilson act

his own decision heretofore rendered,
shows the extent to which these people

Downfall of The DIspensary.

The decision of the United States Cir
cult Court in the dispensary matter is
still the subject of some talk in Charles
ton, but the talk is all Of an exceedingly
moderate and conservative kind. The
ex-liquor dealers are not celebrating the
event with any peculiar enthusiasm, but
they evidently look forward to the time
when the dispensary will go to the wall.
A gentleman, who is in no way inter-
ested in the liquor business, about voiced
the sentiment of the community when he
said:
"It is most righteous decision, and it
could not have been otherwise.l No man,
Judge or juror, who appreciates. the
American citizen could ever for mo-
ment concede the right of a State Gov
ernment to strike at the liberty Of the
citizen to the extent of forcing him to
buy anything he wanted from the State.
It is repugnant to the idea Of American
civilization. It won't stand the test Of
the United States Supreme Court. It
does seem strange that citizen Of South
Carolina should have to appeal to 3
Federal Court for protection In his rights
against the encroachments OF his own
State Government; but what else is there
for him to do? The strangest and most
pitiful feature Of the matter Is that he
should be driven to this resort.
"There are q great many people IN
Charleston, temperance people too, who
will rejoice at this decision. Not all the
people in Charleston are barkeepers, as
some good people seem to think. For
one have no special sympathy for men
who are engaged in keeping bar-rooms.
I recognize their right, however, to en-
gage in the business and recognize the
hardship that the law works to them.
But that is another question. It does not
enter into my view of the matter at all.
believe it will stand. AS to the dispen-
sary have no interest in it. I don't
care whether the State chooses to keep
up the liquor business or not. think
it's disgracefully low bit Of business
for sovereign State to be engaged In,
but I'm not the States censor. The fea-
ture of the dispensasy law that cannot
but be obnoxious to all free American
citizens is the odious and tyrannical fea-
ture which these Judges have just de-
clared to be unconstitutional"
AS to the effect of the decision prom
inent lawyer said last night, after reading
the decision: "There will be no more
interference by the constabulary with
wines or liquors bought by any citizen
of South Carolina for his private use.
The injunction granted by the Judges
stands until 1t is modified or revoked by
them or until the Supreme Court rever-
ses their decision. There can be no straw
bail in this case under the decision as 1t
stands. A mans liquor bought outside
of South Carolina comes under the pro-
lection of the Federal Government when
it enters the State: it is under the same
protection when it enters his house and
goes into his wine cellar and when 1t
goes on his table, and no dispensary con-
stable will dare interfere with it. It's
the law Of the land that has been invoked
to guard the rights of an American citi-
zen, and very good law too. ."-Ne,0s and
Courier.
