ons will peddle liquor all over the
country. The only fight worth enlist
ing in South Carolina is between pro-
hibition as rigidly enforced as it can
be and the dispensary as honestly en-
forced. as it ought TO be. High license
is not to be thought Of for a moment.
Yet the ptohibitionsts say they prefer
the dispensarv to license and the
license people say they prefer prohl-
bition 10 the dispensary while the
blind tigers want prohibition because
they know it means free liquor.
The elections now being Ee!d IN the
counties to vote the dispensary out
are very different to the Democratic
primary elections which will settle the
question finally. In the first place the
vote in these counties where elections
have been held against the dispensary
has been very small as COMPARED Wit
the regular vote 1t requires cert1h-
cate of registration to vote at such an
election while in the primary the club
rolls of the Democratic clubs govern.
Then men are Indifferent as they were
in the prohibition election in 1892 when
only sixty thousand out of ninety-two
thousand voted in that box. There
are probably thirty thousand or more
good Democrats in the State who from
one cause or another are not able to
vote in the elections held under the
Brice act. That law was shrewdly
drawn and for the express purpose of
killing the dispensary have been told.
These thirty thousand will determine
the question in the future as they have
in the past because they will elect the
Legislature and the State officers In
the State Democratic primary in spite
of any combination such as is now CIV
ing us prohibition by negative pro-
cess. Voting out the dispensary not
because the people want prohibition
but giving us prohibition because some
people want free liquor, some people
prefer to buy illicit liquor and return
to the old barroom system, while many
people will do anything to kill the dis
pensary with the hope of profting by
it's destruction.
