Dispensary Ouestion ARitated al
Buena Vista

The question as to the esbabliSh-
ment Il . dispsnsary 1t Buena
Vista lie now agitating the resi-
dente Of that city Strenuous ef-'
forts are bsing made by persons
favoring the dispenssry to
bring tho natter to successful
issu.. A bill is pending in the
Legislature which provides that
The question shall be submitted to
the people. The dispenssry peo-
pie claim that they will carry their
point il the question ever comes to
vote, while the anti-dispensary
people are equally confident of its
defeat.
Both sides have circulated petit
lions to- ascertain the sentiment
on the question, and the arti-dis-
pensary adherents claim the larg-
est number. The City Council is
divided, standing seven against
the dispensary to five in favor OF
it.
The history of the dispensary
wherever given a fair trial has
been that such an institution is
premotive of the sale of intoxicants.
There seems IT, be no difference
between a city engaging in the
liquor business and an individual
conducting a like busine6s. Some
towns in Virginia have adopted
this plan of dispensing iiqnorS, and
from reliable reports drinking has
not only not been lesSened bit has
actually increased. The experience
of other places may be expected to
be repeated at Buena Vista.
While Buena Vista, Lexington
and Rockbridge are under local
option. with no public bar-rOoms,
the fact is patent to any casual
observer that the law is violated,
almost openly. 1t 10 harder to Gen.
wet man for selling liquor than
for murder or other serious crime,
and for that reason the violAters
# the law many timts 20 anpun
