Carolina cannot afford to defy mora
laws and trample the clearest mora
principles under its feet. Above tho
people, above government, above
legal statutes is the everlasting mora
law. 1t cannot be set aside by State
Legislators; it cannot be nullificd b,
dispensary acts; it cannot be snccred
out OF Court by United States
Senator even. The moral law

In the next place the dispcnsary
makes its appeal to the people as a
moral institution, as a restraint upon
the vice of drinking and the crimes
resulting thercfrom. But in the
very teeth of these moral prctcn-
tions it makes the appeal also to the
cupldlty of the people. Its profit

interest of the State and county and

vice and in the other part it proposes
TO encourage it. 1t proposes both as
a moral and financial enterprise.

G. w. BAUKNIGHT,

lie said The people of South
Carolina are face to face with great
moral issue. There is no problem
which more directly involves the
very vitals Of State life than that of
the sale Of Intoxicating beverages.
1t is question which involves the
very fundamentals Of personal and
civic righteousness. The question
before us is specific alternative (:
the dispcnsary or prohibition. The
question is this: Shall the State
sell Intoxicating beverages to it's
citizens or shall it not? That is to
say, shall you and | and all the rest
OF the people together sell to our
fellow citizens as Il beverage intoxi-
eating liquors for the pecuniary
profit there is in it Shall there be
a State liquor selling establishment,
set up for the purpose of gratifying
the dcpraved appetite for alcoholic
beverage, Of which you and shall
be joint proprietors and jointly reap
the profits? iondcr is a poor fel-
low who is cursed with an abomina-
bic appetite for drink. His family
needs all the money he can earn, and
the poor man needs to cultivate
sobrlety for his body's sake and for
his souls sake. Now, the question
is, shall you and |, joined together
iii this great combine called the
State, agree to sell that man the
whiskcy which we know will iniurc
his body and his soul, and impovcr
ish his family, and put the profits Of
i in our pockets? don't know
how you all feel about it, but, as far
as am concerned, answer that
question with negative in which is

it has already done to a very large
extent, and to see all the evils of the
old saloon system brought in under
the cloak of moral institution, q
process which is going on before our
eyes, and to see n political whiskey
machine intrenched in the capital OF
the State, which adds to its unspeak-
able corruption, the unspcakable
shame of hypocrisy.
The only argument against prohi-
bition which the dispensary sponsors
can logically bring is that it is i'm
practicable; that it cannot be, and
will not be, enforced. ! shall say in
reply that the dispcnsary, so far as its
moral aims are concerned, is not now
enforced, and will inevitably be less
and less enforced ny time goes by.
And again say that if it could be
certified that with prohibition there
would bc just as much liquor drunk
to a gill as without it should still
favor it, for the reason that it places
the business under the ban Of the law
and places the State in the right
moral attitude towards the traffic.
And, again, consider this, that pro-
hibition would have this decided ad-
vantage over the dispcnsary in the
matter of enforcement: 1t would
have behind it the undivided sup
port of all those people whose con
sciences are opposed to the traffic,
and that, think, is matter worthy
of grave consideration. These forces
are not behind the dispcnsary to-day,
not even so much as they were at
one time. We can see very clearly
that if we do not advance to prohibi-
ton we shall have gained no point
in moral principle, and that we shall
find ourselves in position of moral
disaster on this liquor question, hav-
ing on our hands vast political
liquor selling machine, manipulated
by unscrupulous politicians, who Sc
cure by means Of it their own advan
tagc rather than the restraint of vice.
And as corrupt political machine
Satan himself couldn't improve on
it!
But they din in our ears that pro-
hibition is impracticable. Impracti-
cable Let us have a little common
sense about this question. 1t is no
more impracticable than many other
laws already on our statute book and
which no sane or civilized man wou)d
see repealed. 1t is no moro impracti-

cable than the law against murder.
| doubt II there would be as many
violations of a prohibition law, or as
many vlolators Of prohibition law,
III the County Of Grccnvile, S. c., in
a year as there are violators of the
murder law. And there is no sort of
question that it would be better en-
forccd-if all our policemen were to
go to sleep and sleep the sleep of
dcath-it would be, then, far better
enforced than the law against carry
ing concealed weapons is now.
Now if we must not have a prohi-
bition law because some lawless per-
sons would violate it, by the same
logic we ought to repeal the laws
against murder and against pistol
carrying because they arc violated
almost every day in the year by any
body that chooses to do it. Will the
anti Prohibitionists advocate the re-
peal OF these laws? They dare not
and yet that is the logic of their
position. If you oughtn't to put a
law on the statute book because il
cannot be ideally enforced, then You
ought to take off the statute book
all laws that arc not likewise en-.
forced. They advocate the rctcn-

allowed the State to sell liquor unde,

passed by the Senate and later by
the House. 1t was an issue in 1894
(and was adoptcd.) He himself had
kept the constitutional convention

Tillman replied that this is a
knotty problem. The Constitutional
Convention in its libcrality to
Charleston declared that there
should be true bill by grand jury
before there could be a change of
venue. The grand jury in Charles

Four years ago the whole nation was,

but the election of William Mckinley
operated like fertilizer possessed with
mighty energy. and the dust of decay
and discord and strife disappeared be-
fore the refreshing shower OF great
beaming hope; and the fires were light
ed, and the wheels revolved, and the
mines were opened, and the shuttles flew,
and the idle found employment, and a
new song ofrejoicng cheered the homes
of millions, for that which had been
stolen by the false promises Of the dem
ocratic party had been found by the
republican party and returned to its
rightful owner, and prosperity once
more breathed its hope and JOY over all
the land. Then financial unrest and I'M
certainty darkly brooded over the re-
public; today all honor to the republic
an party, our standard Of commercial
values has been fixed on a golden basis,
and, because our promises have been
kept, our garments unstaned by repudi-
alton, our plighted faith unbrOken, three
hundred millions of our 2 per cent bonds
in the markets command a premium,
and the mere promises of the United
States of America could purchase the
commerce of the world.
The republican party stands for the
protection of American industries which
protects the future life of this republic
with all its promises to the world. 1t
stands for the ful6llment of all national
promises, whether to the holders of Sc

OF the seas hopeful for future prosperity
under our civilization, or free govern
ment after we have taught them how to
establish and maintain it in equality
and justice. 1t stands for the proper
control of capital in order that it may
be used for the increase of the republic.
1t stands for full recognition of the sac
ri6ce and sufferngs Of the defenders of

stands for navy and an army fit to re-
present our greatness wherever ships
may sail and soldiers tread, and senti-
ment Of devotion to the rights and
liberties of American citizenship under
the flag everywhere, to the extent if need
be of forcing our war ships to the Bos-
