THE CONSTABULARY.
What Prominent Prohibitionist Says.

The fact that Governor Ellerhe
had decided to discharge the con
stabulary on October Ist was the
chief topic of conversation in certain
quarters yesterday. Particularly did
the local prohibitionists discuss the
situation, and several in Columbia
who have been actively engaged in
the fight for prohibition thought
that with the discontinuance of the
constabulary the dispenspy law
would be SO openly violated, and the
policemen overlooking violations,
that the chances for prohibition at
the next session of the General AS
sembly were very encouraging.
MIR. Il. j. LaMottc, who has been
prominent among the prohibtionists
of the State, when questioned on the
matter, said: "There never was any
necessity for the establishment of
such a constabulary force as has
been maintained since the dispensary
law won't into effect. I and those
who have been with mo have always
maintained that tho executive pow
ers under the laws in this State are
sufficient to enforce the dispensary
law. In other words, there is no
law on the statute books which IS
sustained by the sense of the people
Of the country that cannot be
thoroughly and completely enforced
through the ordinary officers of the
law. So the recent announcement
of the chief executive should be COM
mended. A great mistake was
made when the appointment of those
extra constables were made. It had
the effect OF arraying a class Of mon
against the sentiment of the people,
and those who constituted the con
stabnlary have been men unfamiliar
with the enforcement of any laws,
and even in cases when they we're
right blunder was committed
Mr.. LaMotte said that it is begin
ming TO look like extreme measures
are dying out, and that the chances
for prohibition would continue to in
crease. He said that much is now
being done in the way Of sending
out circulars to tho people of the
State, and that personal appeals
would be made to every member Of
the Legislature in tue interest of a
prohibitory law.
Mr.. LaMotte says no decision has
been rendered in the case in which he
wanted to bring some time ago. 1t
will be remembered that Mr. La
Motto asked Magistrate Smith for q
warrant charging that the licenses of
the beer dispensaries in Columbia
were not permitted by law. Magis-
trate Smith declined to issue the
warrant, and Judge Gary deciding
that the warrant should issue, the
case was appealed to the supreme
coul-. Although the matter has
been before the court for some time
no intimation as to an early decision
has yet been made.
