"That the iispensary system for
the sale of liquors in the county Of
Charleston, in said state, in which
your petitioners reside, is not desir-

petitioners verify believe.
"That the same is not suited to
the needs, circumstances and condl-

thereby.
"That for, these reasons the said
system is not supported by public
sentiment. difficult to enforce and not
calculated to demand observance or
respect.

WILL WE HAVE PROHIBITION? /?

We publish in another column to-
day, an analysis, so to speak, Of the
present legislature on prohibition,
written by Mr.. James Hoyt for the
News and Courier.
Mr.. Hoyt gives the decisive votes
of the legislature last winter when
this question was up for discussion.
He also shows what counties have
voted out the dispensary under the
local option law since the adjourn
ment of the legislature and what
counties apparently seem to be salts
fed with the county dispensary plan.
Ordinarily and under ordinary con-
ditions his analysis and his conclu-
sions might be correct.
It should be remembered that the
vote in the last session Of the legisla-
'ture was not prohibition or an an
ti-prohibition expression, for as
stated in the analysis by Mr.. Hoyt,
number Of prohibitionists voted
against prohibition bill and practi-
cally all Of the dispe1sary advocates
voted for a prohibition bill. In ad-
dition to this it should be remember
ed that a great many who voted for
the Carey.Cothran bill did so as a
means of abolishing the state dis
pensary rather than as an expression
of their views on the question Of pro-
hibition or anti-pronibition.
Just now they will vote in the ap-
preaching session of course 10 one
can tell. We have heard several
members who come from counties
where a local or county dispensary
seems to be giving satisfaction say
that they expect to vote for a
straight state prohibition measure.
There are others from counties il
which there is now prohibition and
who voted for the Carey4Cothran
bill who will vote for state pronibl-
tion.
) Another view Of this question is
that the impression prevails,
and we are inclined to think that it
is correct, that a majority Of the
people Of South Carolina if SVEN an
opportunity would vote for state
prohibition law There are always
those who like to be in the majority
+and if one takes a position that the
state should be the unit on the ques-
tion of whiskey and is satisfied that
majority of the people Of the state
favor prohibition then it is proper
that as representative e1deavoring
to carry out the wishes of the people
in the state in the enactment of laws
for their government he should vote
for prohibition.
Of course it is difficult to forecast
Just what will be the result, but we
are inclined to the opinion that if
the prohibitionists and those who
are willing to vote with them IN the
approaching session can agree upon
some measure and unite in support
of it that there will be state prohi-
'bition law enacted at the approach
ing session Of the general assembly.

During his researches into the action
of light upon the skin. DR.. Finsen
chanced upon a pamphlet in the med
ical library OF Copenhagen published
az 1872 by Dr. Picton, Of New Orleans.
In this pamphlet was the accidental
mention or the fact that during a GER
tain epidemic Of smallpox some soi-
diers confined in dark dungeons SUI
fered the disease and recovered with
ouc the hideous scars that were the
common featurs cf the complaint
This led the doctor 60 investigate the
effect of light upon the progress or
this particular malady with Jae re-
suit that he was soon brought 80 the
conclusion that The apparently fam

physicians had q solid basis in fact.
