State Dispensaries.

From an explanation of the dispen-
safy law in South Carolina, by Sena-
tor Tillman TO a few friends at his
room Wednesday,, says the David
City, Iowa, P ess, it comes the near
est to being al equitable solution of
the liquor ques ion yet devised. I'm
der this law. = state commissioner,
with an advise y board, purchases all
the liquors. brought into the state. 1t
is taken to a Ct ltral depot, analysed
by experts for rurity and quality, as
the law permits no harmful adulter-
ations, after which 1t is bottled and
sealed up, its age and quantity la
beled, and every kind and quality has
the price printed on a card. There
are ninety dispensaries in the st: te.
A dispensary looks like any drug
store, rallied off in front like II bank.
The purchaser. goes to the railing,
looks over card to see what he
wants, makes his selection, then Glls
out a blank. stating his age and place
of residence and the kind of liquor he
wants. He pushes this blank and the
price over TO the dispenser and re-
ceives the liquoi. in the sealed pack
ages as they W, re put up In the state
dlspensary. The bial k is not for the
purpose of espionage over the pur-
chaser, but as Il check on the dispen-
ser. No liquor is allowed To be sold
after sundOWi and none to minors.
The dispensers are appointed by the
state board, but in m ost counties the
party conventions nominate the dis
pensers, and the successful caudi-
dates uame is sent to the state board,
and the peoples choice is invariably
appointed. The dispensers. are under
bonds aud draw a fixed salary. He
has neither o portunity nor desire to
push the trade. One of the benefits is
the fact that by the elimination of the
ItreaIing habit drunkenness and street
brawls have Disappeared. There Is
no organized liquor power, watcaful
! for it's profits and expert in marshal
ing the weak, or devilish in de ense ui
/ it's interests. 1t has been blessing
to the blacks. Like many whites
only more so. the co4~.ed man is a
great man to buy anything he can gel
| on credit. therefore. the liquor held a
perpetual mortgage ON the negroes.
Under the dispensary system liquor il
cash, and the blacks are using less o
it. Where certain streets used to bt
filled with brawling negroes every
Saturday afternoon and evening. now
all is quiet. Whatever the traffic
earns over expenses, is divided a.
follows: One half To- the state. one
quarter to the county and one-fnurtf
TO the municipality where the Liquor
is sold. The oue-fourth in,ere-
brings more revenue to the towns thar
under the old license system. wher
they got it all. 1t the South Caroiins
law was effect all over the country
four-nftf of all the great problem.
THAT DOW vex the social and politica
situation would have no existence.

TO take measures and decide upon
Il line of policy to circumvent these
plots and Vaccinations of our Repub-
lican opponents, We have deemed a
conference representing TIE entire
! membership OF our party both pra-
dent and necessary. We must decide
whether we will go into II triangular
contest, thus allowing the common
enemy to divide and conquer US in de-
tail and rendering success impossible
next year or for years to come, or
whether we will plan to continue CO.
operation with those who have been
our allies during the last two national
contests. IN working for the over
throw OF the Republican domination
and the restoration and preserv ati on
of the rights and privileges of which
that party has plotted to deprive us.
Various plans have been suggest
ed by which we can circumvent our
adversaries, and the delegate confer
ence which we have agreed to call will
: und dOub btedly be able to decide whether
any of them are advisable, and in
that way we can make our iufiuence
most effective for the promotion of
these principles of government to
which we are devoted. 1t is earnestly
requested and desired that in each
county the conventions to select dele
gates to the coming conference he as
largely attended as possible and that
the fullest and freest expression as To
onr future course be encouraged, to the
end that the conference maybe able to
crystalline the thought aud wishes OI

Party Plans.

peka last week to consider the future
of the party. 1t was decided that the
difficulties of the situation. brought
about by nefarious legislation at the
last session, were such that the COM
mittee did not feel they could take the
responsibility of determi ming the
course to be pursued by the party and
so decided to hold IL delegate confer

so as to tifwart such expression.
