"SEhATOR TILLMAN KNEW
1T TO BE FALSE"

Special to The State.
Greenville, July 24-Dr. G. S
Gardner, pastor of the First Bap-
tist church of this city, preached
strong sermon Sunday night on
prohibition, in which he denounced
as false Senator TilIman's charge
that "the preachers and liquor
men are in unholy alliance led by
Col Hoyt." He said: "Senater
Tillman who made the charge,
knew it to be false when he uttered
it. The charge cannot be in
terpreted as anything else but a
mean and contemplate effort to
break the force of the almost
unanimous advocacy of prohibi-
bition by the preachers and served
its author rs q good occasion also
to throw contempt upon a class or
men for which he has in many
other ways expressed his con"
tempt"
DR.. Charles S Gardner is con-
sidered about the ablest preacher
in the Baptist denomination in
South Carolina and he is immense
ly popular not only in Greenville
bet throughout the State. He is
we'll qualified to represent his de-
nomination on this or any other
subject. His name should not be
confounded with that of DR.. Geo.

Carolina Baptist, whose home is
at Greenwood.

evil elements Of society. 1t N
longer makes an aggrt ssive fight
against "blind tigers" and in
order to compete with the "blind
tigers" which spring up under its
very shadow it farms out cheer
privileges, and thus brings back
tho old licensed saloon under Il
false pretense. And in order to
save the dispensary proper from
being swamped by the "tigers'
and "beer houses" the restrictions
thrown around the sale of liquor
in the dispenssry gradually pass
into ''innocuous desuctude.
The people only have to accept
the dispensary as final solution
of the liquor problem and turn
their attention away from it to sec
the whole thing sink INTO the most
contemplate sham, which it has
already done to very large eX
tent; and to see all the evils Of
the old saloon system brought
IN under the cloak of Y moral in
stitution, 8 process which is going
on before our very eyes; and to
see a political whiskey machine
entrenched in the capital of tho
State, VIII ch adds to its unspeaka-
BILE corruption the unspeakable
cha na Of hVpOcrIsV
The only argument against pro-
hibition which the dispensary
sponsors can logically bring is
that it is impracticable, that it
cannot be and will not be enforced.
| shall say in reply that the dis
pensary, 50 far ss It's moral aims
are concerned, is not now enforced
as time goes by.
And again | say that if it could
be certified that with prohibition
there would be just as much liquor
drunk to a gill rs without it, |
should favor it, for the very reason
that it places the business under
the ban Of law, and places the
State in the right moral attitude
towards the traffic.
And, again, consider this: that
prohibition would have this de-
cided advantage over the dispen>
sary in the matter of enforcement,
in that it would have behind it the
undivided support of all those
people whose consciencss are op~
posed to the traffic; and that l
think is a matter worthy of grave
consideration. These forces are
not behind the dispensary today,
not even 80 much as they were at
one time. We can see very clearly
that if we do not advance to pro-
hibltion we shall have gained no
poiut in moral principle, and that
. we shall find ourselves in a posi-
ton of moral disaster on this Ii
, quor question, having on our
hands vast political liquor-sell-
, ing machine manipulated by un-
: scrupulous politicians who secure

enforcement of that law.
Here. is traffic which is evil,
and only evil; for which not one
good thing can be said, or ever
was said; which dishOnors God,
which curses society, which de-
stroys men body and soul, which
corrupts all who have anything to
do with it in any shape or form
whatever; the evils of which have
been declared by the geat States
mar, Gladstone, to be greater than
those of war, famine snd pestilencs
combined. President Kruger
said at the beginning of the South
African war, that for the acquisi-
tion of those republics Great
Britain would pay price which
would stagger humanity, but the
horrors of the South African war
are utterly insignificant compared
with the horrors wrought every
year of our lives by the liquor
traffic. He is very phenome-
na!ly bold man wto will stand up
and claim for it any present or
ulterior benefits to humanity and
civilization. 1t has been denounced
as no other business in the world
has been denounced; and there
never has been a man yet who
could put into language the utter
deteStation which every right
minded man feels for it. But de
spite all this denuncistion, there
never has been a man that could
stand up and give even lame de-
fenss of it.
Now the question is this: What
is the right attitude Of law, If
government, of civilization, to.
wards u business like that Mani>
festIy there is but one right atti-
tude; and that is, to prohibit and
prescribe it. And yet here we
are in the State OF South Carolina,
debating among ourselves the
question whether We will continue
in the business or not 2 We ought
to answer that question in the
negative by a unanimous majority
for several reasons. In the first
place, as | have just intimated,
the sale of liquor as beverage
ID morally wrong, and the State
cannot make a wrong act right by
doing it. The moral sentiment
of the people condemns it in an
individual. How, then, in the
name of sense, can it justify it in
the State Nothing can alter the
fact that in selling liquor as 9
beverage to its citizens for profit,
the State 10 doing an immora
act; and no sort of logical quib
bling, and no sort of demagogic
appeal to the prejudice or tn,
cupidity of the people can cover
up that simple fact. The State
of South Carolina cannot afford t,
defy moral laws and trsmple th'
clearest moral principles under it
feet. Above the people, abov,

an exact statement of the naked
facts. They may say that the

In the next place the dispensary
corrupts the official life Of the
State. OF course it does. 1t is
an immoral act, and whenever
anybody, man or State, does an
immoral act, he Is corrupted by
it. Why, in recent years we have
had denonstl atoms of this fact
ad nauseum. The fact is that the
State cannot engage in the liquor
business without being corrupted
by it.
The dispensary inevitably be-
comes a corrupt political machine,
q restoring sore in the heart of the
body polite. 1t is impossible to
prevent it. 1t is the very nature
of the thing. 1t is as certain and
inevitable as gravltation. There

and conduct tho business of selling
liquor as a beverage that will save
it from corruption. can easily
understand why certain politicians
should be anxious to perpetuate
the thing; it is a political machine
ready made to their hand, and
ideally adapted to do the dirty work
for the people who control it. Let
us be done with it, for the sake
of purity and morality and decency
