Extravaganza OF the World Increases.

the multiplied millions of people.

be found bushels Of fruit rottiug on

Few farmers manage TO feed heir

IL is the exception when you see
them take any care whatever of fcrti-

to strew over the land and thereby
add to its productiveness.
In the use of wood and coal or coal

exercise no economy, but keep the

IL the towns and cities it is simply

good things that are allowed to decay.
People will talk Of their poverty and
the difficulties they experience in sup

good things that carelessness and ex-
travagauce have allowed to go to

everything they had to eat and wear

{ How is that for step towards
prohibition?"
The City OF Charleston has about
fifteen legal places for the sale of
whiskcy and beer and the illegal places
number in the hundreds. Is Augusta,
Ca, or Atlanta, Ga, in any worse
condition, with open bar rooms? In
the city of Columbia there are five or
six or more legal beer and whiskcy
places and "tigers' are plentiful. In
short, there has been no improvement
in South Carolina in the large towns
as compared with the large towns Of
other Southern States. Nothing has
been gained for temperance by the
dispensary system in them In the
small towns in South Carolina we have
the dispensary, as against prohibition
throughout the South
The dispensary has probably made
South Carolina the leader Of South
ern States in the consumption Of
whiakey. That is the distinction
that our State has won and is maintain.
ing.
In the second place, the dispensary
has firmly engrafted the whiskey bust
ness on the State. II has scared and
blunted and oauterized the sentiment
for prohibition. It would be almost
impossible for South Caroline to adop.
prohibition now, by counties or as q
whole. The disponusry is paying. Itis
paying Lsurens, county and town about
$4,000 or more each year. Ten years
ago Laurens town was unanimous
against the dispensary. 1t was ne
cessary to create negro land owners
by gift in order to vote dispensary
on the town. Now, however, it is
probable that the people would vote
for the dispensary rather than prohi.
bition. The dispensary pays. The
people who drink dispensary whiskey
are paying our taxes. The pocket
nerve has been touched, not only in
Laurens, but throughout the State.
The outlook is that South Carolina
will hold her place as the great whis-
key State of the South, because she
is making money out y; the business.
Twenty years ago prohibition was
not practicable in this town. Coudi-
t!ens were not settled. Law and
order had not assumed their sway and
the Generalization following the war
and reconstruction still fingered. All
that has changed. Prohibition would
be practicable here now, just as it is
in hundreds Of towns from North Caro-.
lima to California.
Ten years ego the prohibition wave
began to sweep over the South. Pro.
hibition captured the South. It was
checked in South Carolina-c checked
by compromise" It's own friends
and champions were deceived by poll.
ticians, who offered them the dispen.
sary. To-day, by the dispensary, the
legalized sale of whiskey is more
strongly fortified here in South Caro-
lima than anywhere else on the Ameri-
can Continent. The volume Of the
sales, moreover, are increasing all the
time. South Carolina, in recent years,
has done moro for the prosperity Of
| American distilleries and breweries
than any other Southern State. e.-Lau-

The whiskey business would have
been practically dead in South Caro-
lima by this time had not the dispen-
sary law been enacted. That was per
haps the single expcdient by which
the life of the business could have
been perpetuated in tfis State. The
history of neighboring Southern States
for the past ten years proves 1t.
Texas and Mississippi are practical
]y prohibition States. Only in few
eounties is the whskey trade per-
mitted. The same is true Of Tennes-
see. Fifty counties are "dry' in Ala
bama. Thirty of the forty counties
il Florida prohibit the sale Of intoxi-
cants. Fifty Arkansas counties are
"dry." OF 1877 counties in Georgia
probably not more than ten or dozen
have bar rooms. More than u hun
dred have absolute prohibition. In
North Carolina sixty Of the ninety
seven counties have prohibition. 1u
both North Carolina and Georgia some
counties have local' dispcnsares simi-
lar to ours, except that each is an in
dependent county concern and there
arc no State dispensaries. In these
States the people vote as between
diapensaries, bar rooms and pIOhibi-
tion. The latter prevails in nearly all
the counties.
In other words, it is the simple fact
that within the last ten or fifteen
years almost the whole South has
voted itself "dry." In the larger
towns and cities, like Augusta, At
lanta, Birmingham, Savannah and
Jacksonville, the bar rooms are re-
tained, but whiskey has been driven
almost entirely from the smaller towns
and the rural districts. The prohibi-
tion sentiment has grown rapidly and,
uhat is more to the point, the laws
are enforced. One may go to dry"
towns Of North Carolina, for example,
as we did this summer, and never
hear of "blind tiger The New
York..Sun points out that in the South,
following the elimination Of the negro
vote by suffrage qualifications, prohi-
bition has been generally adopted as
the law.
In South Carolina the dispensary
was accepted by the ProhibitinnisIs
in the Legislature of 1892 rs COM
promise measure-as a "step toward
prohibition" After the people
had voted for prohibition their
representatives gave them State
uhiskey selling system Of saloons.
What are the resuits7
In the first place, We have the legal
ised sale Of whiskey more generally
established in South Carolina than in
any other Southern State. North
Carolina has thirty-seven whiskey
selling counties (many Of these having
local dispensaries) out of ninety. seven
counties. South Carolina has about
shirty-nine whiskey selling counties
ont Of forty one.
South Carolina has about two dry
counties, Georgia hss over one hun
dred.
