Prohibition Question Brought Ur
The first ON of thr prohibition
fight was Saturday fired in the State
senate. Upon Senator Appelt's bill
to impose a license of $4,000 upon
hquor drummers the discussion as
sumed wide proportions, reaching out
TO the other prohibition questions be-
fore the legislature this year. With
barely quorum present Senator
clifton of Sumter held the floor for
nearly two hours, speaking first upon
the question of the bill and then upon
the question to indefinitely postpone.
Senator Kelley had succeeded in
having his bill TO repeal the lien law
which has passed the house, made a
special order for Wednesday after
third reading bills. Senator Graydon
had had his bill to regulate the charg-
es for carrying passengers on rail-
roads in this State made special or
der for Thursday. Senator Lide had
brought about the same result for his
measure on Statewide prohibition or
was about to do so when there arose
storm of protest against making any
bill a special order. The great fight.
on this question arose on Senator
OTIS bill to prohibit the manufacture,
sale, etc. of whiskeys, etc, known as
the prohibition bill. 1t had been
made special order after a motion
to table this motion had been lost,
but after some more discussion Sena-
tor Hardin s motion 10 discharge all
special orders prevailed and these
bills are now at their regular places
upon the calendar.
The casus belli was Senator Ap-
pelt's bill to provide for license of
$4,000 in each county of the State for
the conducting of the business of sol
letting whiskey orders.
Senator Appelt explained the pro-
visions of his bill Under the present
law whiskey drummers can come in
and solicite orders and are not licens-
ed. However, they can not sell the
whiskey in this State nor can they de-
liver the goods here.
