Cnn Revenue Compensate for the

From The Kershaw EraI

the vote bo taken without q des-
perate struggle to retain their pet
institution, which has as its prin-
ciple features of argument and
recommendation revenue and
graft, will hnd themselves to be
most wofully mistaken. Alread y
they arc industriously at work to
defeat the manifest will of the
people, which admittedly is over
whelmingly against any method of
selling liquors in this county.
We had hoped that the vote
could be had without fevered agi>
tation, by the voters being allow
ed to quietly cast their ballots as
their judgment dictated in the
Light of twelve years experience
with the dispensary, but such is
not to be the case. We have be-
fore us at this time an unsigned
circular letter copies of which are
being distributed over the county
with the patriorc [9] purpose Of
saving the dispensary to the cour-
ty, and for what purpose, we ask 2
To elevate and better the condi-
ton of our citizens9 Certainly
not, for the only possible effect of
the liquor traffic is debauchery.
Well, is it to prevent our children
from being deprived of the privi-
lege OF having schools to attends
Clearly no, for we had schools be-
fore they were helped by liquor
profits; and Marlboro and Green /,
wood counties, which have no dis
pensaries within their borders,
have just AS good schools and run
them just as long as the other
counties We do not hesitate to
say that when it becomes neces-
sary to debauch the citizens in or
der to maintain schools it will be
far better to close the schools.
But no such necessity exists now,
nor will iL ever exist. We can
conceive of no more expensive
way TO run schools than through
the dlspensary. For every dollar
of school funds you get that way
represents about ten dollars spent
for liquor.
If the foregoing are not reasons
for wanting to retain the dlspen>
sary what is the reason2 We must
explore the confusion of argu-
ments which reveal but one prin.
cipal reason and that is revenue.
Can revenue compensate for the
evils growing out of the liquor
traffic. Parent, what amount o1
money would you regard as a JUS,
return for a son being made s
drunkard and possibly a murderer,
besides the danger of running int
the other evils on account of ar
intlamed brain!
But let us examine the circular
letter and analyze it just little
bit. 1t says prohibition is farce
and cannot be enforced without
public sentiment behind it. Who
says sos Advocates of the liquor
traffic. But what do those who
have prohibition says Cherokee,
which was first to vote out the
dispensary, says it works well
and that they would not have any.
thing else. And the states which
have tried prohibition refuse to
60 back to liquor selling. We
believe that those who have tried
it are best qualified to speak, for
they speak from experience.
But what about the dispensary!

has grown to be larger stencil
each year of its existence and the
facts are heing laid bare
You stand in danger of the old
barroon system they say. Well
let's see about that The consti-
tuition provides that liquors can
not bc sold in less quantity than
half pints; 1T Is not allowed to be
drunk on the premises where sold;
, and it is not allowed TO be sold
between sundown and sun up.
The constitution cannot he altered
without majority vote for a
change, any ono knows that Trey
will never vote to restore the old
bar room system. Furthermore,
no license system is ut present
provided for Mt all. If the dis
pensaries are voted out we will
have absolute prohibition under
the dispensary law.
They claim that the dispensary
purified is the best solution. Well
who has the power to purify it?
One egg not quite so dacayes as
an other might be better purified,
bat who can purify it! Take the
actual experience and learn by
that that the evils in liquor are
inherent and will come out of it,
l: matters not where or how sold
or by whom drunk. Take the
dispensary and look at the revela-
tiens disclosed by the investigate
ing committee. Good men from
good families have gone in from
good motives and now their
names are bemirched and their
characters blasted. Some who
have gone into 1t have been able
to realize the danger and have
retired before destroyed.
1t is claimed that during last
year Lancaster county derived
so. 500. revenue from liquor.
Suppose it did. What has the
county got in return that it did
not have before! Our taxes were
no more when we had no dispen>
sary and when we did not have
near so much taxable property.
The truth uf the matter is that
this increased revenue is a grave
temptation to extravaganza In
matters of no permanent value to
the county and the result surely
will be more harmful than helps
full. You have never in your life
seen bigger hearted fellow in
the matter of spending money
than whiskey sellers. They make
their money easy and 1t goes
easy.

lieves. Such work always aims at the

Sharks Delicate In Captivity.

Sharks IRE rather delicate in captiv-
ity. and It is difficulty to keep them
in aquariups. Whatever care may be
bestowed upon them they do not seem
to be able to stand confinement. how
ever large the tank or pool may be.
In captivity sharks swim round and
round ths tunk, nine times out Of ten
taking one course and never reversing.
A shark has been known to keep it's
course for three or four months with
out change and. except for food, never
halting, SO fur Us 1t was observed. It
would keep going all day long and
would be found going In the morning
just the same. If food was placed In

same way. Presently it would start
