1t is a False Alarm.

"a K" in Columbia correspondence
News and Courier:
The dispensaryites are industriously
trying to create the impression tha,
there is something wrong about the
Brice Act, under which many counties
are seeking to hold election on the dis.
| pensary question.
The law affects vital question in this
State, and it is being discussed and
| weighed as few other laws have been.
There is nothing wrong about the stat
ute itself, at least no one who has the
legal right to say SO has so announced
and it is mere talk that is undertaking
to snare the opponents of the dispen-
sary. The talk about the law being un-
constitutional is no different to what is
said about most important laws, and it
is certainly not so near the line of un-
constitutionality as the dispensary law
itself, because that law in its early his
tory was specifically declared to be in
valid
Persons who are avowedly opposed to
the prohibitions movement are the lead
ers in the suggestions of trouble with
the Brice Act. All sorts of suggestions
have been made to avoid the proposed
elections.
One of the pet schemes is to urge
that there is no money with which to
provide for these elections. The same
conditions exist as to an election on q
new county project or for member of
the General Assembly, or State Sena-
tor or any other office should there be
vacancy by death or otherwise.
The expenses for such an election
would be met just exactly as they
would be for an election for a county
officer or on new county proposition
The county supervisor and county
commissioners have ample authority to
pay for the necessary tickets and sta
tionery and the bill for the advertising
and managers of election would have tc
be submitted to the General Assembly
for authority to pay unless other ar.
rangements are made.
NAMES CANNOT BE ERASED FROM
PETITION
An interesting point has been raised
| whether a voter can take his name
from a list at any time before the elec-
tion has been held. If petition is in
any way close to the number of votes
required for the calling of an election,
the question is whether sufficient
number might not be induced to take
their names from the list.
AS far back as 1893 the then attorney
General, Mr.. Townsend, rendered an
! opinion which is no doubt as good to.
day as it then was. He then said "You
have no more right to erase your name
I from the petition than you have to open
the ballot box and take out your ballot
after you have cast it,"
This opinion was rendered in connec.
tion with the dispensary situation ir
Newberry County twelve years ago.
