LEXINGTON. S. c.,
WEDNESDAY AITGIIST % 1900.

About the only thing which the
opponents of Governor McSweeney
can find with his administration is
the alleged failure to enforce the dis
pensary law in Charleston. So f.msy
is this charge that intelligent men
everywhere and of every shade of
political opinion regard it as the
acme of childishness. By law the
enforcement of the dispensary law
is devolved solely upon the State
Board of Directors and rot upon
the Governor. They are charged
with the management of the system
aud it is as much a part of their
duty TO see that it's violators are
brought to justice as it is to prescribe
rules for its internal management,
and Governor Mes Eeeney can no
more be ,stly held responsible for
the non enforcement of this particu
lar law than he can be fer the non
payment of the poll tax by vio-
la ors of that Law. Oily when hi
attention is cfi ;ially called to the
violation of law can be with dignity
take action. l. is not the duty, nor
never was intended for the Governor
to go noo.ing around hunting up
blind tigers. To do so would be to
lower the dignity of his high Office
and turn it into a detective agency
through which the private affairs OF
the citizen is held up to public gaze
and the cult.in torn from the home
life of the people.
