CHANCE FOR VOTERS.
South CaroIina's Whisky Question is
Still Problem.

Columbia, S. c., Dec. 24-The men
who have the responsibility of the dis
pensary on their shoulders are again
at sea and it now suggested that they
relieve themselves of the burden by
letting the people have a vote on it.
A few days ago the plan of choking
off the original package houses by
taxing them $4,000 each, taxing the
county dispensaFies and returning the
money to the counties by appropriation
was favorabIy received. But now some
ion of the supreme court which declared
the state could not levy a tax upon her
own creations.
The proposal to make original pack
age houses conform in every particular
10 the regulations governing the county
dispensaries has been favOrably re-
ceived as a method of discouraging
these competitors They would have
to sell at the same rates as the dispen-
Sary and make quarterly reports, etc.
But when it is figured that the state
dispensary, before shipping it's liquor
to county dispensaries. it is required to
make a profit Of 80 per cent and that
the minor dispensaries have to sell at
such an advance in price as to pay run
ming expenses and give a profit to city
and county, it is seen that the prospect
of making only SO or 60 per cent would
not likely bar outsiders.
A prominent state senator suggests
that an election be held and the people
be given an opportunity of voting for
dispensary or for prohibition, or for
high license under constitutional limita-
tiOns; that the election be held as soon
as possible, and the general assembly,
which meets in January, abide the re-

the management of the English syndicate
mills. Mr.. Pillsbury declined to discuss

but admitted with a laugh that he had
done fairly well the past eight or nine
months.
Referring to the Pillsbury-W Washburn
syndicate mills, which are controlled by
a syndicate of Englishmen, Mr.. Pnlsbury
said he had for many years been manag-
ing director. Recently he had concluded
that the work of the position was too
conf1ning and too exacting. He had,
therefore, resigned the position of man
aging director to Henry Little, who had
been connected with the company many
years before it was transferred to British
interests.

Michigan Central Gives Reasons Why
He Should Not Have 1t.

Railroad company today filed its answer
to Governor Pingrees petition for a man
damus to compel the company to sell MIN
a 900 mile ticket book under the act OF
1901 for the use of himself and family for

The answer attacks the act of 1891 as
unconstitutional because, among other
reasons, it is in violation of the interstate
commerce law, as it would require the
company to issue such mileage books good
over the entire system. not limiting them
to the line in this state In addition TO
this. the company pleads its original
charter, granted in 1886, as constituting
LID contract between the state and the

in case the state buys the road and its
