last election Greenville went two to
ono against the dispensary's candidate
for Governor. While he had doubted
tho expedtency Of the State dispensary
he was now sure that tho proper
remedy was to let each county control
Its own business. He said that the rea-
son that the Georgia dispensary WAS
80 successful was that 1t was under
local management He WAS informed
dozen dispensaries in Georgia. He
said that under the present law there
| were no convictions against violation
! OF the law, except against few trifling
people. He thought that II the mat.
ter were submitted 1t would eliminate
the question from politics and that the
State dispensary would be done away
With.
In regard to inviting tho negro vote,
he said that the dispcnsary advocates
in Greenville had dragged the negroes
into their plan to obtain q dispensary,
but he thought that now even tho
negroes wore ashamed OF 1t. This
negro business is u "bOgoy man" which
is always being dragged up before the
General Assembly.
The State had no Inherent right to
sell liquor. 1t has come to this that
the State soils liquor for education.
Why not teach the children to pray for
their fathers to drink more liquor in
order that they could get more educa.
tiOn ? Ho said that South Carolina
owed it TO tho gallant soldiers who
died on many bnttlelields to provide
public schools for their children, but
tho anomalous position OF tho uispen-
sary il 'drink all tho liquor you car
and keep sober" Or that 1t was half
(ns hi hi inn nd ho1f
Ho referred to tho "comblnation" in
Columbia to elect Governor Ellerbe, and
said that this showed that all the peo-
ple did not think him u dispensary
candidate. He appealed for no man to
vote through prejudice, but for all to
look ut the matter as rational men.
The previous question was then called
by Mr.. e. b. Ragsdale.
T he enacting words OF Mr. Robin
sons bill were stricken out by q vote Of
II to 80, Messrs. Mccullough and Moss,
Montgomery and Wharton being
paired.
