THE proposition to place the liquor
system in this State on the South
Carolina plan which was introduced
! into the Legislature is developing I'M
. expected strength. At first it was
thought that it would meet the fate
of all freak bills and die in committee
but it has been reported fsvoratly
and is gaining new friends every day
in unexpected quarters. Its proyis-
ions are somewhat intricate but it is
long way in advance of the "speak-
easy" method. 1t has local option
attachment however and they may yet
flourish together. Under the proposed
law the keeper of saloon must be alb
solutely temperate. The I0her clauses
are equally meritorious. A strong
lobby is expected to go to work and
kill it at once.
