Such questions of those handed out
are having great weight against the
dispensary. The revenue feature, which
is about the strongest feature used DY
the dispensarv advocates, is weakening
in this county. Observations among the
younger men Of this city point to the
fact that they are going TO vote against
the dispensary on the ground that they
place right above the dollar
Whether a majority in Sumter city
are for or against the dispensary, 1t IS
evident that the influence of the church
is getting in heavy work against the
dispensary. With nearly five months n
which to work for prohibition. and with
d citizenship composed mostly OF men
who are not willing to admit that the
future prosperity of the city OF Sumter
and Sumter county depend entirely, OF
even largely, upon the sale OF whlskey
it is clear to many that the dispensary
is going to have hard fight for It's eX'
istence in Sumter county. Sumter men
are giving the matter much individual
thought. ''What is nv duty as citiZer
! to my church, to my neighbor and t:
the women and children OF my city anc
county," is question which bodies evl
to the dispensary.
And the anti-dispensary forces are
working, too. But are the dispensary
advocates doing anything much? Anc
can business man and church mem
Der afford to get out and work for the
dispensary? Or, rather, do they fee
that they can afford to do so:
And that is where the dispensary ha:
lost out in many places. Hundreds o.
men who conscien3iously feel that pro
hibition will not prohibit and that it vii
be farce do not feel like fighting
against what ought to be, even though
they do not think it will prove what /
ought to be. Politicians canSot AFFORD
