THE D|SPENSARY,
IS IT A FAILURE 2
-~~E
Mr.. A. V. Dockery Argues
That 1t Is.
HE POINTS TO ITS OBJECT
It is to Curtail the Sales of Liquor,
he Says.
THESE SALES SHOW ENORMOUS INCREASE
The System Viewed From Moral and az
Economical Standpoint. Are Souh Caro-
4 lina's Profits Greater Now Than
Under Licensed Bar?

To the Editor:
In your yesterdays issue in refer
ring to South Cardinals dispensary
profits for the year 1900 your dispatch
says that the increase of sales of Ii
uqor over 1899 amounted to one mil
lion dollars.
is / would like modestly to ask if this
enormous increase in the traffic can be
justified from either a moral or an
economical standpoint?
AS to- the economical consideration
the commercial idea--it seems to me
that, while not admitting that.a State
has the right to establish a vast mo-
nopoly for it's own benefit, the same
quantity of money could have been
gathered into the treasury by prop
erly policed system of saloon super
vision and with less aggravating con-
sequences. The State can with as
much right monopolise the tobacco
and cigarette trade and all non-in-
fIamable commodities.
1t has not been demonstrated that
the States profits We're more by this
system than by the old one, and al
though this gigantic proft-showing is
pleasing to contemplate, no data is
set forth to let people know what was
received under the old regime for the
State, county and town in the way of
license taxes for a like term.
The liquor sales appear to have in
creased fully fifty per cent under the
dispensation of the dispensary. Its
bar-keepers buy what they please and
sell it in pints, quarts and gallons
corked and sealed to the same sort of
people that the former saloon man
sold to. One MUST take at least a
pint, because he cannot buy drink
no tasting or smelling.
In 1876 there were fifty saloons in
Raleigh and about twenty i'll the
country beside In 1900 there are only
twenty-one in county and city.
Whether it is caused by a profitess
business or higher morality | will
not say.
If the trade in liquor is to be run
from a FINANCIAL view, the dispen-
sary system in South Carolina is a
success, but if from a moral stand
point. the increase in the consumption
of liquors proves it to be a dismal
failure.
ProhibitioIists who were the prog
enitors of the dispensary system OF
regulating that species of morals,
made use of one argument, that drunk
enness on the streets at night was in
tolerable, but could not conceive that
it might be obviated by an effective
police system with little expense and
less friction.
L reiterate that the substitution of
the Dspensary for Prohibition is a
failure because statistics prove that the
consumption of liquor goes on--1is on
the increase instead of decline. The
advocates themselves by their FREE
quently published statements OF prof
its and sales boast of it.
Under the saloon system, man
could get single drink, but the mo-
nopoly system requires him to take
half pint-three drinks for average
people. Is this moral for the one, or
economical for the other party? 1T
seems to me it is neither moral nor
economical.

are to-day. There has been, during the
century just closed, a constant up!itlnS

better; they have enjoyed moro than ever
the comforts, and even the luxuries, OF

facilities than ever before; they have had
better opportunities to accumulate prop
erty and, as a rule, they have not neg
lectad them. They have asserted their
rights and maintained them, and societ?
has given the workingman a recognition
and consideration that have been char
acteristic Of no other age. There is less

who would put the workingman down,

countries which for the last twenty years
cial lines. But for all that says the Lon
don Times, conscript.on must be a5check
upon industrial development.
Mr.. Baker tells us that he, saw in the
technical schools which he visited Young
men working at the most delicate handi-#
crafts. whose skilled hands. guided by
cultured intelligence. had just arrived at
turning out the most artistic works, but
tools must be laid aside for the rifle and
the sword, and after two or three years
disuse their hands may not recover all of
their cunning. Herein says Mr.. Baker,
lis the Englishman's opportunity. When
he obtains the same advantages of edu-
cation as the Austrian or German he can
at once leap ahead of his continental COM
peutor. for he gains these two years given
up by the continental workman to mill
tary service" Sooner or later England
will have to make an organized effort to
raise the ordinary mechanical occupations
from the status of a trade to that of
high art, and to do this education is re-
qured.
The natural intelligence of the Arneri-
can has placed him in the front rank of
the producers of the world, and the arti-
Gle which we have been discussing from
the London Times only serves to accent
uate the striking address made by the
Hon. D. A. Tompkins in this city, in
which he pointed out that as the South
had been the manufacturing centre OF
America in the first part of this century,
so it would be again if only we had the
proper education to offer our citizens.
Surely with the advantages that Virginia
has in climate in location, in soil and in
mineral resources, there can be no form
of investment which will more certainly
produce a, steady and a growing revenue
and spread more happiness among the
people than the opportunity for a wise
and up-to-date education in technical
matters.

a DYsPEprlC ATTACK.

The Richmond Times has criticised and
abused nearly every public man in Vlr-
ginia for running counter to what it
considers the correct thing. 1t has III
cluded in its list all men, from election
judge to Governor, yet when other pa
perS jumped on the Governor a few weeks
ago for refusing pardon to young
lady and granting a large number TO a
hardened class of criminals, The Times
Jumped into the arena to tell Virginia
newspa pers that they were guilty of a
wrong-doinS in referring to the Governor
in such manner. Does The Times want
the job Of censor for the Virginia press!
Are we 20 send all editorial matter
through its sanctum whenever the occa-
sion arises TO condemn a public official
or criticise him, as the Governor de-
served in a recent act?-Danvllle Regis
ter.
1t is to be regretted that there is no
press censor in Danville to edit copy
when the editor of the Register disagrees
with his food otherwise our contempo-
rary would have been saved the humilia-
ton of running an attack of indigestion
for an editorial article. No Virginia edi-
tor. except he We're a liar or a dyspeptic,
would say that The Times has abused
nearly every public man in the State
who has run counter to it, and as the
editor of the Register is not a liar, we
must attribute the spiteful remark to
boiled eggs When an editor feels these
attacks coming on. he ought to go into
temporary confinement and let the office
boy write the stuff for that day. 1t
will save him trouble and humiliation.
Equally dyspeptc is the after part Of the
Registers article. Tue Times did not
censure Virginia papers for jumping
on the Governor',-welatever that may
mean-because he refused to grant a par
don in case which aroused the mawkish
sentimentality of the State. No refer
ence to any special case was made IN
the article which troubled the Registers
boiled eggs There was no protest against
legitimate criticism of the Governor We
simply said that such criticisms ihouid
not proceed from personal spite. But
here are the exact words:
We are distressed said The Times
ito see A disposition on the part OF some
of the Virginia newspapers to say dis
agreeable things about Governor IEier
whenever the opportunity presents :tsei.
1t is too patent, also, that in some cases
these criticisms proceed from spite or
personal luminosity. This sort of thing IS
unworthy of Virginia journalism. When
the Governor of the State fails in the DIS
charge of his duty he ought to be critl-
cised by the public press, but tor an
editor TO nag at the Governor and to say
,,ncIlaritable things about him simply be-
causa the editor has a personal grievance
against the Governor is, we say I'M
worthy of the press. We do not set up
to be press censor. but II IS our laea
of journalism that an editor shoulu never I'VE,
drag his personal feelings into Inc col
umns of his paper and air his grievances
before the public.
This is the pure milk OF the gospel OF
Journalism, and it ought not to disagree
even with a dyspepuc.
