 Under the new law governing dispen- saries. Perry county cannot take Q vote on the matter until 1903, from the Iact that while Uniontown. which IS Tn this county, has an old dispensary It Is op- erated under a complete new law, and inc law prohibits disturbing any dispen- sartes operating under the new law until 1909. However, it is held by sew eral able attorneys, that the people through the dispensary director can close shop any day or hour they see proper. That the law under which the dispensary is operated is privilege and not compulsory. If left to peti- ton there would not be thirty votes in the entire city against closing the dispensary. The petition will doubtless ha circuIated immediately following the Jones meeting.
