Dispensary or Prohibition.

Before another issue Of this paper this i'm.
portant question will be settled, SO we give q
few suggestive thoughts as they occur TO our
mind for the benefit Of those who only have
In vie the sole obi ect OF "kn ockiDg out" the
dispensary regardless Of what may result az.
forwards, II occurs 10 q hat the dispensary
hedged abor t by Stale and municipal avs Is
the best solution OF the liquor question we
the same as all other business houses. No
drinking or carousing ia allowed on the pre-
misses. No minor can purchase LIQUOR. It Is
under the local management of our own law
interest OF the people at heart, for they have
soDs Of their own and we are sure none Of
this class will be led astray by any influence
Of theirs.
Does "knocking out" the diapensary give US
prohibition? We answer NO, and tba too
without fear OF contradiction, but instead 1t
only gives license TO any and all who wish 10
run blind tigers" and social clubs under
wboRe shadow, and In whose wake will be
multiplied trouble, perhaps murders. uHk
enness, debauchery and all kinds OF untold
mischief and that too without any revenue 10

ed, extra police and detectives called in to
hunt up and run down the tigers.
There are many other troubles not men.
toned, or % thought OF bound 10 arise
as 1t will then be "lIlegal" instead of illegal"
sale OF whiske y so that when you vote TO do
away with the dispensary' rem Der you
actually leealize the sale OF Illicit liquor and
bring about a state of affeirs worse than now
exists. What say you Shall liqour be sold
legally" or "iIlegslly"? But some one says
we will put down the blind tigers and social
clubs. and 1.-THE men now In office can't and
won't do 1t we will put them out and elect
men who will. We ask you to mention a
single town where this has been done. You
can go to any dry town in Sonth Carolina or
any other State and get as much liquor as
you could when the dispensary existed.
Who denies this? Then how can AbbevilIe
be an exception TO the general rule
II is our humble opinion II we are 10 have
the sale OF liquor IN our midst, let us have II
legally and under the restriction OF Stale and
municipal laws and not dispensed under
every hill and at every CROSS roads, and by
any and every person who cares Dotbing for
the good of young or old, but only for the
mighty dollar.
Listen 1t has been said that even during
the two weeks" OF prohibition, or closing Of
the dispensary liquor has been made" and
"sold" In the limits of Abbeville. What say
you then, shall 1t be illegal" or "illegal" sale
o. liquor? Which will bring about The best
state Of affairs looking to the good OF our peo-
pie? Which will be the best of the two evils?
Answer by your votes on the Eth.

Law Enforcement League and its tne-
thods. And as for stopping the ne
groes from getting whiskey, it is SIM
ply impossible. If they couldn't get
whiskey, they would switch to cocaine
shifting.
The writer wishes to back up his
article with excerpts taken from a let
ter issued by several ministers of the
gospel, dated Jackson, Miss. May 10th,
as follows:
West Capitol Baptist, NJ. o. Patter-
son, Pastor.
TO the ministers of the gospel, State of
Mississippi.
Dear Brethen:
1t is true there is to be found in
many places in our State a spirit of
lawlessness, either open defiance of
law or lack of reverence for its majesty
| Mony laws, in fact, are violated with
impunity. Homicidal mania is RAM
pant. Our legislators have made for
! US wise laws in the effort to protect
and preserve our people from the
crime that debauches manhood and
impoverish and destroy homes. 1t re-
meins for the patriotic citizens of our
commonwealth to see that these laws
are enforced and the ~infractors punis-
ed. The Law Enforcement League
was organized for the purpose of CIV
ing aid and encouragement to the Off
GERS of the law in discovery and pun
ishment of crime. ESPECIALLY those
which battle ordinary vigilance of
peace officers. While the League will
not confne its efforts to any n form
of crime, the prevention of the illicit
sale of liquors calls for especial and un-
remitting vigilance. Despite the en-
actment by the Legislature of statuto-
, ry prohibition, the fight is not ended.
This League stands for agitation, leg
islation, and law enforcement. Like
all other great movements for the sup
preston of crime and the removal of
sin, the righteous cause must look to
the preachers of the Gospel for friend
and leadership. Their interest in this
vital question will determine the fu-
ture veal or woe of our great State,
w~hether-there shall be a return to the
saloon with its attendant evils or
whether our people shall be forever
free from this curse. We call upon our
ministers.
Signed.
