COLUMBIA, S. c., May 3l.-Franl- B.
| Gary of Abbevillc, speaker of the house,
has issued a card defining his position
on the liquor question. As Mr.. Gary is
considered one of tho most formidable
candidates for governor, his declaration
Is important. He takes tho halfway
course between Governor McSwecncy,
who advocates dispensary in it's en-
tircty, and Colonel Hoyt, the prohibi-
tion leader, and his declaration comes
rs surprise, os he was supposed to
with Governor McSwceney.
he says since the recent act of the
Legislature the benefits Of the dispen-
Sary, II there are any, are confined to
the county i'll which the dispensary is
situated.
II therefore favor allowing a county
on a petition of onc-third of its voters to
vote on the question, 'Dispeusary' or
No Dispcnsary.' If majority are op-
posed to the dispcnSary it should be un-
lawful to establish one III that county
L am opposed to saloons in any form,
and believe the dispensary should be
run with view to curtailing liquor
drinking, not with view of making
money.
"This is the position l shall advocate
throughout the CAMPAIGN"
Atn meeting of the state Democratic
executive committee an effort was made
to interpret the rules of the party to eS-
cludc the candidate of Il faction from
entering the primary After vigorous
fighting Il substitute was adopted by
vote of Is 20 I, allowing anyone to enter
the primary who took the oath to abide
the result.

that when it reaches the consumer,

indispensable for the cure and pre-

Tangiers.
1t is stated that there is no treaty existing
between the United States and Morocco un-

was arrested there, however and being
without funds, he was willing to return
home and take any punishment that might
be given him. The prison at Tangiers Hun
