SEN. SHARPE HAS
FALLEN IN Error
His Statement That Prohibi.
ton. Has Been an 1gnoble
Failure is Challenged by
Mr.. L. B. Addy.
DISPENsARY NO BENEFIT

In the Dispatch Of July goth, Sena-
tor Sharpe addressed a letter to the
voters of Lexington county stating
why the Dispensary should be reestab-
lished in the county, and urged the
people to vote for it's reestablishment.
First, he claims that prohibition has
been all ignoble failure; second, that
the county is in debt; third, that the
roads are in bad shape.
I feel dutybound to challenge his
first statement, THAT prohibition has
been an ignoble failure" Such a
statement deny, and so do hundreds
of persons whose veracity has never
been questioned. True it has not
been what We desired it to be, but
when we consider the many hindrapce
thrown against it, we are glad to say
that it has been partly successful
Shortly after the Dispensaries were
closed in the county enemies Of pro-
hibition got busy and opened socalled
,cial clabs, which really was dis
grace to civilization. Public senti-
ment finally prevailed against them
and they were forced to close, and
any honest man will have to admit
there is less drunkenness now than
as eyer been befor,
AS to the county being in bad shape,
I wish to add that the county was IN
debt and the road. were not in any
better condition while the Dispensaries
were in our midst, Notwithstanding
the fact that they turned in several
thousand dollars. Some have said
that if we can reestablish the Dispen-
sary that they will put the blind tiger
out of business. Such has not been
the case with Richland and Charles
ton where blind tigers flourish under
the eye of the D:spensary. The Dis
pensary is a fine place for the blind
tigers to buy his whiskey from.
| wish to name q few reasons why
the DispenSary should be reestablish-
Ell. First, it is an evil; second, the
statutes of South Carolina forbids its
citizens to sell alcoholic drinks and
tie state or county should not sell
what its citizens are forbidden to sell;
THIRD, a majority of the people are op-
posed to it, and the proof of this as
serlion is, not single public meeting
has been held by the citizens to en-
courage the reestablishlnent of the
Dispensaries, but on the other hand,
a representative body OF men, men
who have the welfare of the people at
heart, met and laid plans for a fight
against the Dispensaries.
Fathers, vote against legalizing an
institution that has ruined hundreds
of bright boys and is possible to ruin
yours. In the penitentiary In Col
umbia is an cleo trio chair to put to
death criminals, then do vote against
legalizing an institution that makes
criminals. Now in conclusion, wish to
state that refusing to reestablish the
dispensary is not enough, but the
illegal sale of whiskey should be stop
ped. Men haYe courage and manhood
to press your sheriff's solicitors anc
magistrates to enforce laws, and when
this has been done we will soon have
a county to live in without debts, and
with good roads and schools.
Respectfully,
Lonnie B Addy.

Tribute to Woodrow Wilson.

Tribute TO Woodrow Wilson.
The following tribute to President
Woodrow Wilson was read before
Smoaks Literary Society August 3,
1913:
In every revolution
A zenith must be set;
In every life of consequence
A crowniDg deed is met.
And in our line Of presidents
The greatest and the true
Just when he most was needed
Would come we always knew.
In seventeen and eighty-nine
George Washington took charge;
His was a wonderful career,
Though his realm was never large.
And, so through peace and conflict
We came 70 William Taft,
But twenty-six great presidents
Have failed to tell US half
The auditor of Lexington,
My cousin Willie Dent.
To find name for his baby looked
Till his patience all was spent.
Now to prove that Woodrow Wilson
Holds the highest place in fame,
MY cousin calls his little boy
BY Woodrow Wilson's name.
