tFrom the Leavenworth Timesl
Soiuh Carolina has determined to
make en- emf OF its Interesting expert
ment with state dispousary. Al first
a vigorous effort was made in foyor Of
retaining this treatment Of the liquor
queztion. but gradually its advocates
have subsided even to senator TIL
man. who was Tor many years its
staunch defender. A bill taking the
state out Of the liquor business has
passed both houses Of the legislature.
The dispensary is abolished be-
cause, according to leadiag newspapers
OF the state. it failed utterly to fulfill
the expectations of its original adyo-
Gates. Graft centcred about the oper-
alton of the law, in the cities particu-
larly, and through tho country dis
tricts there appeared numerous blind
pigs" and dives. The return to the
state was nearly half a million dollars
annually for some years, but a recent
decision Of the supreme court uphold
ing the federal governments conten-
tion that South Carolina must pay in
tenal revenue taxes on her sales of
liquor the same as private saloon
keepers. promised TO cut off large
share OF the earnings Before this de-
cision, however, there was strong
protest against the state dispensary
from many people. TO whom the idea Of
state engaging in the liquor traffic
was repvisive.
The opponents OF the dispensary
system have demanded local option as
substitute. In the country districts
there is a sentiment for prohibition,
but the population of the larger cities
will prevail. and even the advocates
OF the dispensary are willing 10 com
promise on the local option plan. The
lcities and smaller communlties of the
state are thus TO recover autonomy
with regard TO the liquor problem,
which Is the most satisfactory and SEN
slhle treatment OF the question.
