other dispensary advocates held call

1t has been very noticeable that OF
the 1874 members Of the lower house OF
the legislature, at least half the num-
Der are attending the fair. Except
when the legislature is in session there
has perhaps never been such number
OF politicians in Columbia as is here

on in the State board of liquor control
was Of course discussed, and repre-
sentative legislator is authority for the
statement that the members of the
general assembly are disgusted with
the recent scandal.
1t is reported that Representative Z.
L. Winkler of Kershaw is preparing
bill to be introduced. at the next Ses-
sion which will have for it's purpose
the modification of the law as it now
stands.
At the caucus last night Senator
Tillman was chief actor. 1t is stated
that he stigmatized the row of the
State dispensary as a stencil, and
he is reported as advocating complete
change in the system of government.
He is said to favor the abolition OF the
personnel Of the State board with the
view of placing the management OF the
States liquor business in the hands OF
the governor, the State treasurer and
the attorney general.
He also favors the abolition of coun.
ty boards, letting the intendants OF
towns and county auditors and treas
urers be the members ex- -officio OF their
respective county boards, the dispen-
sers to be elected by the people.
The senator promised his coadjutors
to take hand in the fight and make
things warm in the next campaign.
