A PATRIOTIC GRUMBLER

Among the thousands Of people who make the
trip 10 Europe there are always many who de-
rive no pleasure from their experience and who
when they return vow that they will never go
again because they found things so different

The Senator's Address at
Sandy Flat Saturday--Op-
poses County Dispensaries
and Outlines his Plan to
Purify the State Dispensa-
ry.

urday at Sandy Flat, GreenvilIe
county. 1t is est mated that 1000
persons were present. The sub
ject of the Senator's address W as
the Dispensary. He spoke as
follows:
There is but one important
issue involved in this campaign,
so far as State affairs go, and as
for my own candidacy it rests on
the record which | have made
since | entered public life six
teen years ago and the intimate
knowledge which the people of
the State have of my character,
personality and qualifications. |
am willing to leave it there with
out discussion or presentation.
The fight is State dispensary VS.
county dispensary, for no one
expects the prohibition candi-
dates, however worthy and we'll
qualified they may be, to receive
very much support. With all
their efforts (and they have been
many and long continued) the
newspapers which have always
fought the dispensary have not
been ablesto drum up candi
date for Governor who advocates
local option straight as against
dispensary and prohibition, and
only in Charleston does that
idea have any men offering for
office under it. The local option
offered the people is between
prohibition and county dispen
sary, and the whole fight is to
destroy the State dispensary
first, with no other purpose than
to then obtain the privilege of
reopening the old bar rooms un.
der. the guise of liquor stores,
"sellIng under constitutional
limitations" The real fght is
for the control of the Legislature,
because the Governor cannot
make or change the laws, and
can only try to enforce them.
His only influence over legisla-
tion would be in the use Of The
veto power. But it is all impor.
tant to get n strong and good
man for Governor. The times
distinctly demand one.
In any event some counties will
stand by prohibition with its blind
tigers and heavy jug trade by exc
press. Other counties will vote for
county dispensaries and the cities
where the principal newspapers
are published will have the fight
on the issue of State dispens sary
or county dispensary, with the
ultimate purpose Of having the
county dispensaries turned into
licensed bar rooms if the county
dispensaries are abolished. The
scheme is TO restore the sale Of
liquor to pr vate individuals rath-
er than let it remain In the hands
of State officials Those who clam

/ have great faith in the good
common sense Of the people, and
do not believe they can be per-
suaded to destroy the State dis
pensary, and leave each county
TO purchase and sell its own IL
quor. Yet the State and News
and Courier, which have always
hated the dispensary
"Worse than the devil ha es holy
water"
are advocating candidates who
favor county dispensaries. The
only possible good reason t. at
can be advanced on this line is
that the prohibition counties un-
der the Constitution receive a
part of the profits which arise
from the sale of liquor in the
other counties. This is unjust,
as everyone must acknowledge
but it can be remedied very easily
by having the State dispensary
make no profits other than a few
thousand dollars above it's run
ming expenses, thus leaving the
counties and the towns to divide
the profits between them. This
can be easily done and when we
consider the expense of buying
liquor in retail quantities and
paying local freight on it instead
OF buying carload lots and paying
through freights the county dis
pensary cannot stand the com.
parison. But this is not the great
est objection.
The leakage or stealage in bott
ling of liquor at each county dis
pensary would be immense, and
| know of no way that it could
be prevented, nor do | know any
by which it would be possible to
prevent the whiskey being wat
cred, bottles refilled, relabeled
and other schemes of making
money dishonesty, if the system
were adopted. 1t is not possible
to prevent it and | do not think
anv sensible man who considers
the question will seriously con.
tend that it is. Even if one half
Of the counties in the State should
adopt the prOhibilion-blind-tiger
jug trade programme it would be
better, more economical. and
there would be less possibility OF
corruption and p culauor in tie
purchase and handling OF liquor
in the other dispensary counties,
If the buying, boltIing and ship
ping should be done at one CEN
tai depot, instead Of in each
county.
REFERENCE TO CHARLESTON.
1t must not be forgotten, be
cause it was the understanding
(and bargain was made) during
the fi@ht in the Legislature last
winter against The State dispen-
sary, that the ultimate purpose
is to have Charleston wholesale

would be glad to have Charleston
prosper, but it is not the loss OF
the liquor trade that has hurt
Charleston. Other things are to
blame.
The issue between private con-
troll and control by State officials
must hinge at last on the ques-
ton of whether or not the people
of South Carolina shall determine
that we cannot find honest men

ry system aud devise laws to

will proceed to give the plan
which appears to me after a great
deal of thought and considera.
ton of suggestions from very
many sources to be the best. We
will begin on the counties.
HOW TO CURE THE DIsPENsArY
County dispensers should be
elected in the Democratic prima.
ry, the same as other officers.
The county board should be
composed of the mayor of the
town in which dispensary is
located, the supervisor of the
county, who is the business agent
OF the county, and one man ap-
pointed by the Governor. The
county dispenser should be re-
movable by the Governor for
cause. The State board of con.
troll ought to be elected by the
Legislature, but its duty should
be confined to general direction
and supervision of the business.
the same as the Peniten'iary and
Hospital for the Insane are run.
II should not purchase any whis-
key or anything else required in
the business. Everything Re.
qnired, including the whiskey,
should be bought under annual
contracts made as follows: After
the state commissioner has al
verhsed in the manner presrcrib-
ed by law land this ought to be
very clear and specific, leaving
nothing TO the discretion of anv
one, and going fully into details)
the bids should be opened in
public by three men so'ect ed Just
before the date fixed by the Gov.
ernor and the contract made with
the lowest bidder by the year for
the supplies TO be ordered out bv
the com missioner as needed
These three men are to serve on
ly once, and annually there shall
be three new men chosen to
make the contracts. The bidders
will not know who will make the
awards and, therefore, cannot
enter into collision in advance

The owner is not permitted to

way until the tax is paid and it
is removed. We thus get a qua.
rantee Of absolute purity without
a chemical analysis and such IL
quors are as much staple articles
OF commerce as corn, wheat or
bacon. 1t is the blended and
rectified whiskeys that are adul,
terated and where the cheating
comes in. The blending and mix.
ms could be done in the State
dispensary, where there would
be no incentive to increase pro-
fits by authorizations, besides the
law would provide severe penal.
ties for that kind of thing.
The county dispensers, being
elected by the people, will be
anxious to please the people as
they will be beaten at the polls
if they do not do their duty. The
county board chosen as indicated
will be responsible to the people
also, with every incentive to give
- good administration. The whis.
key purchased in that way will
be as pure and as good as can
be obtained under any possible
conditions, and there is absolute,
ly no way in which corruption
can creep in, if there is the least
effort on the part of the people
and the Governor to prevent it.
sLAPS AT THE GOVERNORS.
The trouble with the dispen-
sary now is thai our Governors
have neglected their duties and
have moi kept supervision over
ihe workings of the local dispen.
sers and the State board. Excu,e
may be found for this by saving

sary Ceyond the Governors con-
troll. This is true in wav and it
was very great mistake, yet

give the people the facts as | see
them, and, of course, they alone
can apply the remedy. We
should elect the Governor who
will do this andrdo it fearlessly
and zealously, but there is still
small opportunity for graft in
scheme outlined, provided the
Legislative committee which
superintends the other State IN
stltulions and the grand juries
OF the various counties pay a.
tention to their duties. No gov
ernment has ever been devised
that would run itself and every
government is an index of the
Intelligence, public spirit aud
patriotism of it's PEOPLE. If the
people are ignorant and indifer.
ent, and cease to watch and look
after their affairs, the govern
ment they give themselves IS
inevitably bad and they can
blame no one but themselves.
RAPS THE LEGISLATURE.
The conditions in the dispen-
sary now are directly traceahIe
to the laundering and neglect of
the LEGISLATURE. That body placed
thek: State dispensary in the
hands of three politicians, elect
ed without consideration to ft-
ness, experience or character,
threw no restrictions whatever
around the administration, lett
the door wide open, limited the
salary to $400 and now we see
thesresult. [ have always said

done TO destroy it. Politics anI

tions: but no amount Of salary
