Dispensary advocates tell us
that the dispensary law PROPERLY
ENFoRCEr is unguestionably the
best law that can be enacted for
the regulation of the sale of liquor.
We reply that every man who
honestly believes this should vote
for Featherstone, the prohibition
candidate for Governor. That
three successive dispensary gov
crnors have failed to properly en-.
force the law is admitted by all.
The next three governors, should
they be dispensary men, will fail
for the same reason that the first
three have failed, viz: because
they will run the dlspensary as
money-making institution for the
State and as political machine
to retain Office. With prohi-
bition governor the dispensary
will be managed to get all the
prohibition possible from the law,
which will mean the enforcement
of the law to the letter. ANY
voter who honestly wants to see
the dispensary law properly en-
forced will vote for Featherstone
for Governor, for the election of
n prohibition governor does not
necessarily mean the enactment of
Il prohibition law. In the alb
sence Of a prohibition law the
election Of prohibition governor
means, just what the advocates of
the dispcnsary claim to want, the
PROPER ENFORCEMENT of the dis
pensarY law. Amt it sol A
prohibition governor will do more
in six months to make the dispen-
sary law popular than three dis
pensary governors have done in
six years. If You are an honest
advocate Of the dispensary law as
a step towards prohibition you
are bound to admit this, and, fur
thermore, you are bound to vote
for FeatherstOne.

The constitution Of this State
presumes upon the manhood of
the State with the ballot to pro.
tect the rights of women and
therefore suffrage to women is
not given. The manhood of
South Carolina is appealed to to-
day as it has not been in years.
An issue is being made in this
campaign which concerns the iu-
terests, the happiness, yea, almost
the very existence Of many of our
mothers, our wives and our daugh-
ters. 1t matters not to them
whether the sale of whiskey is
made by blind tigers, by the
licensed bar-room or bv the
sovereign State itself in a dispen-
sary. 1t matters not from whom
it is purchased their suffering,
their misery, their grief comes
the same. Had they the suffrage
how long would this evil be legal
ized9 Have women been denied
suffrage that their interests may
thus be trampled under foot by q
debauched master. Where is the
manhood of South Carolina? The
result of the election on the 3Oth
day of this month will show.

The entrance of two candidates,
Mr. Schumpert and George d
Tillman, into the race for govern
or on platform to license the
sale of whiskey, completely ST.
fenced the biggest battery of the
nispensary advocates, viz: That
the preachersand the whiskey men
mad united in behalf of prohibi-
tion to defeat the dispensary.
Some sorte- Intelligent church
members were almost persuaded
that it would he q sin for them to
vote for prohibition because the
old bar-room set were going to
vote for it. The lines are now
plainly drawn: The license whis-
key men will vote for Tillman or
Shumpert; the prohibitlonists, and
dispensary advocates who honest
ly want to see the dlspensary law
PROPERLY ENFORCED, will vote
for Featherstone; and the dispen-
sary advocates who don't want
the dlspensary law any better en-.
forced than it has been in the
past will vote for one of the other
candidates for Governor.

Rarely has candidate fought
against such odds and gained SO
