My Dear Sir: Il have used and pre-

Will You Drink Your Share?

THE ADVERTISER would not advise
anyone to drink whiskey but here is a
proposition that the people are Cup
against" Three weeks age, the state
~dispensary purchased $4,000 gallons
of in~toxicants for the Christmas trade.
This, In figures, is nine drinks each
for every child, man, woman, black and
white, in South Carolina. Leaving the
women out, 1t is said to be IL drinks
for each man and child, regardless OF
color. This Is the states whiskey. 1t
has been bought by South Carolina.
If 1t is not consumed, it will be lost.
South Carolina will lose money on it.
This whiskey is our business-your
business and nine. We are engaged In
1t because we are a Part OF the state.
Shall we allow our sta'e {; o lose this
whiskey and this money? III we do
not buy, who will? The question is,
shall we, (you and / and all of us South
Carolinians) neglect the business OF
the state, our s~tate,-shall we dodge o
patriotic duty and refuse u patronize
the business which we ourselves are
running? Seventeen drinks is a good
deal. 1t means more than II DRINKS.
Some OF us will dodge, duty or no
duty.
