The dispensary constables in
Charleston made a tremendous
haul last Saturday. capturing
about $500 dollars worth OF
whiskey, and their raids have
been very heavy ever since the

these days, and especially in a
city that is opposed to the dis
pensary system. Ii Charleston is
not trying TO put down the Illicit
