not make much headway with IT,
BY MANY twas looked upon as a jest.
It was introduced in the Senate,
where testers belong. and it was that
class which gave it it's main support.
While they may not have been Sin
3ere. as some people believed, in adj
yocating its passage, yet there are
many lawmakers who then gave it no
consideration whatever who now ia
vor such a measure. They have been
making it a study during the past two
years and have learned how it works
in the Palmetto State. They argue
that as it has proved to be good
revenue producer where tried, and as
our State is already engaged in the
liquor business in a way-sanctions
the sale OF all kinds of intoxicants-
they should be handled in such man
ner as will give the State the most
benefit. The law as it exists in South
Carolina strikes them as being the
kind needed in West Virginia, and
when it is presented for adoption at
the coming session of the Legislature,
as It will be. there will be but few,
we imagine, who will regard it as an.
other jest. We do not know that ii

time aware that it will have many
friends and supporters.
