| that.
DR.. kinard stated that he did not
mean to reflect on Charleston in an op-
probriouS way. merely to cite Charles
ton as county opposed to the diSpen-
Sary.
Mr.. Dorroh favored the bill. Each
county is best fitted to settle the mat
ter for itself
Mr.. IZlar Of Barnwell had seen bar
rooms, prohibition and diSpensary in
his county at different times. He be-
lieves in the dispensary. Baleful intiu-
ences will be brought to bear when the
question is taken to the polls and pro-
hibitiun may, nOminally, triumph. He
declared that the prohibition era in
Barnwell was TIE most deroraliZing
in its history.
Mr.. Morgan of Greenyillc spoke in
favor Of the bill.
The closing argument for the bill
was made by Mr.. Sanders. the author
of the bill. If there is 80 be disintegra-
tion. at whose hands will it be disinte-
grated? With all of the machinery
of the dispensary in operation, if it be
voted out by the people, then is that
not evidence that it is Objectionable
to them? If it is not Objectionable,
why be afraid OF this bill? If the peo-
pie OF a county oppose dispensary
| they have no way in the world to get
rid of it now.
Mr.. Gunter OF Aiken and Mr.. VI. L.
Smith Of kershaw opposed the bill.
The latter admitted that the measure
is founded upon true and good Demo-
cratic doctrines. yet it would not be
| wise to have this whole matter opened
and the State thrown into turmoil.
The vote tOrecommit was taken and
the bill was recommitted, or virtually
killed, by the following vote:
