The party managers have given signal

1t will be understood. therefore, how
appreciative this section feels that Sena-

named for the second place on the State
ticket by the Roanoke Democratic con-
vention. Mr.. Echols was brought up in
an atmosphere of politics, and states
manlike qualities come to him by in

Born at Union, Monroe county, W. Va,
then Virginia, in 1858, Mr.. Echols moved
to stanton in 1865 In his earliest youth
he was accustomed to hear great politi-
cal matters discussed. He is the only
son Of the late General John Echols, who
was distinguished alike in the times Of

THE LIQUOR PROBLEM !
"B. .. d." In an Interesting Article Dis.
cusses Its Treatment In Various
stntes-High License
Ill.

TO The Editor of The Herald and
News: In my first article I under
took to show the utter failure of the
diapensary as satisfactory treat
mont of the liquor problem in South
Carolina. This may be due rather
to the specially Objectionable kind
of dispensary measure imposed upon
us here than to the system itself.
Relieved of the "protit" feature and
Of the "political machine" feature,
aud made q bona tide "exerciso of
police power for regulating and
controlling the traffic, have little
doubt it would be very much more
satisfactory and acceptable to our
people. Such is tho Gothcnberg
dispensary system which seems to
prove entirely satisfactory in Sweden,
and such is the Athens, Ga, system
which seems to be satisfactory to
the people there as municipal
measure. But the system as adopted
and carried out here in South Caro-
lima could hardly bo moro unsatis-
factory or more deSaoralizing to pub
lie sentiment.
In my second article showed by
the experience Of Maine and Iowa,
the utter failure of "prohibition to
prohibit" In both these States pro-
hibition had been tried under more
favorable circumstances perhaps than
it could be in any other, certainly far
more 80 than it could be hero in
South Carolina. And yot, in both,
as it has elsewhere, it had proved
complete failure. What encourage
ment then can we have to try it hereY
Still. while convinced that it would
not succeed, / should very much pre-
fer seeing it adopted and given a
fair trial, to having our present cor
rupt and all corrupting dispcnsary
system prolonged.
But in this article J. propose to
give some account Of system, which
in my Judgment, would provo far
moro satisfactory and successful hero
in South Carolina than either the
dispensary or prohibition. [ refer,
Of course, to high license with strict
regulation. The Ohio liquor law is
certainly not what can bo properly
regarded as a high license system.
In fact, 1t is not license law at all,
for no license is granted. 1t is sim
