THE GOVERNORS 8 vIRW.
What He Thinks Of tho Ordinance
Passed In Charleston.

Tho Columbia State says thore has
beon considerable speculation in tho last
few days since tho adoption of the new
ordinance IN the CITY Of Charleston by
the council Of that city locking to tho
enforcement of tho disponsary law by
police foroe in regard to the off sot this
aot OF tho municipal authoritios will
have on tho attitude of the board Of
directors of tho State disponsary and
the othor State authorities.
1t was impossible Wednesday to 500
any OF tho members Of the State board
but Governor MoSweenoy was asked
what he thought Of the action takon.
The governor Expressed himself freely.
ae said to a representative Of The
State II think that tho city oounoil
OF Charleston has shown excellent
Judgment and / bolieve that Mayor
Smith and his council have done tho
very best thing for Charleston. They
hayo, as | said, displayed excellont
Judgment in adopting this ordinance
and placing Oharleston in tho position
that sho dcserves to be placed in. With
this action of the oity council the State
board Of directors, if tho police carry
out tho law and enforce it and prose cute
tho blind tigers in the polioo court,
should plaoo Charleston in the position
occupied by tho othor towns and cities,
and give hor back her share of tho
profits. | believe that she vii! bo put
back on that basis. just hore permit
mo to say that l think Columbia should
follow in limo and adopt just suoh an
ordinance.
"As | have said all along, on the
stump and elsewhere, | would be in
favor OF taking the oonstables out of
Charleston altogether il tho municipal
authorities in Charleston would show
mo that thoy arc enforcing the dispen-
sary law. I have always takon the
ground that thero ought to be no con-
stablos in any city whose municipal
authorities will enforce the law; that
the police ought to enforce tho law.
Take the case Of tho town Of Anderson
am assured that the police there on
foroo tho law absolutely and that there
arc no blind tigers thore now. The
people say thoy have no noed for the
oonrtablos. l boliovo that this can be
done Charleston with first GLASS police
force not afraid to do its duty. Now
lot tho polioo force do it's duty as has
been done in Anderson aud as other
cities and towns are doing"
Asked as to tho result Of the enforce
mont of tho law in Columbia sinoe the
extra police were givln the constables,
the governor remarked: ''Ohiof Bato.
mans report shows that the result so
far has boon first ratio. 1t spoaka for
itself" NM
