The Meaning of it.

There was great interst all over the
state in the election on the dispensary
question which was held yesterday in
PickenS county. AS had been an:ici-
pated. the dispensary was voted out"
by an overwhelming majority-about
5 10 T.
The election was held under the
provisions OF the so-called Brice bill.
a measure that has been much before
the public and considerably discussed
in the legislature. 1t was under this
act that the dispensary last summer
was voted out" of Cherokee county.
The act was in some respects attempt
ed to be amended at the January ses-
sion of the legislature and the penal
ties for shutting up the dispensary
made not so hard upon the county
taking that action as they were when
the dispensary was defeated in Chefe-
kee, but the effort failed in the senate
In Pickens very active campaign
has been waged for some weeks
against the dispensary, the leaders
being certain ministers of different
denominations. They have preached
and talked against the dispensary very
strongly. 1t has been claimed that
these forces were receiving the en-
couragement and assistance of the
old moonshine element, which under
the reign of prohibition would expect
to have things it's own way and make
Illicit whisky without ceasing day or
night. There is no doubt that the
moonshiners hate the dispensary-
just as they hate any law which seeks
to control or regulate the traffic in
liquor-and they have doubtless con-
tributed to the overthrow of the sys-
tenn in the election of yesterday. Nor
would even the most ardent prohibi
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1905-05-23

sentiment is said to be setting in
against the dispensary. and there are
Pickens and Cherokee to prove it.
The next county to hold such all elec-
ton is probably 70 be Spartanburg-
one # :hc largest counties in the STATE
from the standpoint Of voting
strength-and then will come Union,
petitions for an election having al
ready been circulated in both OF these
counties. The results there will be
awaited with the greatest interest, as
the existence OF the dispensary sys-
tenn in its present form is evidently at
stake
All OF which will make the CAM
paign next year very interesting also.

ZIONIST expect TO suppress the moon
shine trade in Pickens, which is Dor.
der county, with the free and uncon-
quered mountains in its very midst.
Cherokee has so successfully kept
down the blind tigers. with the pub
lie sentiment so strongly back Of
prohibition, that it has been unnec-
essary for the governor to enforce
that provision OF the Brice act which
calls for the levy of special tax for
the enforcement Of the law in such
counties. but whether the same con-
ditlon will prevail in Pickens county
IS quite another question. The task
now Cit out for the sincere prohibi-
tionists in that county is lmmeasura-
bly, more difficult than that which
confronted the same faction in Chero-
kee.
However, the defeat of the dispen-
sary in Pickens is taken by the po-
litical seers as an indication of the
waning strength of the Great Moral
institution before the people. 1t is
pointed out that the only two coun-
ties which have voted on the dispen-
sary have voted against it by large
majorities, and it is asserted that 9TH
er counties are ready to follow their
example. The opponents Of the dis
pensary law and some of its present
friends have tried very hard to secure
the passage of law which would
give county the right to vote on the
question of dispensary or no dlspen-
sary without any complications, but
the legislature has maintained that
the county voting out dispensary
must give up its share Of the dispen-
sary profits apportioned to the public
schools and perhaps pay a special tax
for the enforcement of prohibition.
Notwithstanding these penalties the

This is the total reported up to last

ed will probably go to 1900 or more.
At the last primary election in Au-
gust, 1904, Pickens county polled
2,6oo votes for railroad commissioner.
But in the primary election a great
many are qualified to vote who are
not qualified to vote in the general
election, and the requirements for to-
days election were the same as the
general election.
