The Dispensary EVIL.

Editor of The Item:
This is now a critical time for the
cause Of morality in Sumter-pcrliaps
more critical than is fully realized,
even by the thoughtful. In cases of
severe illness q relapse is always more
dangerous than first sickness. Hav-
ing advanced toward a certain ideal
for a time, it is dangerous and de-
moraliZing to go back.
Once l believed the dispensary was
a good thing, being a step away from
the disgrace of open saloons. The
dispensary was tried, it was fairly
successful, but it served it's purpose
and went out of date forever. After
its short career prohibition came
along logically and it has succeeded
as well as any other good thing in the
worlds history. 1t was expected that
enemies of righteousness would
fight prohibition, and they have fought
it; its friends have been compelled
to battle valiantly for it's success, but
thing that is not worth fighting for
is not worth anything.
1t may be an old tale, but l will
repeat it, that the liquor evil under
lies all other evils. Are you in ia
vor of licensing murder? Then vote
for liquor. Are you a friend of steal
ing? to the social evil? to a COM
plete contempt for ali the ten COM
mandmcnts? If SO, show it by bring
ing back the dispensary and a little
later the open saloon. Once start
your town on the downward path and
there is no telling the depth to which
she will sink.
Sumter is a splendid town, but she
has enemies. Look out for them and
do not join with them in this unwisc
and unholy scheme.

Shall We Vote the Dis
penSary Back?

Does the Lord Jesus Christ, the
Saviour of men, wish us to vote to
make legal the sale of that which
causes SO much lawlessness, and ruins
so many souls?
Does He wish us to make the sale
Of liquor a part of our government, to
help us support it? A thing which
mocks at laws and tramples them un-
der feet?
Is not the sale of liquor my enc
my to hinder my work as a preacher;
your enemy to hinder your work as
a Christian? and shall we go into
partnership with it, and accept our
dividends from it? God forbid!
We, who are Christians, are in the
kingdom of Christ, and if we go into
partnership with the business do we
not bring the kingdom of Christ into
partnership, and, impossible thought!
bring Christ into partnership with his
own enemy!
If Christ should fight the illegal sale
of liquor by establishing the legal
sale of it will He not be casting out
devils by Beelzebub the prince of the
devils? Christ never taught that we
should overcome evil with evil; He
says, Overcome evil with good"
But one says, we are practical peo-
pie and we think prohibition has PROV
en- a failure.
But, has it? Have you been fair to
it? No one has disputed Mr.. Jcn-
kins' figures that less than half the
liquor has been shipped into the coun-
ty during prohibition as during the
time Of the dispensary. Some have
tried to pooh! pooh! it with some
sighting remark, but the fact stands
like the rock of Gibraltar.
Moreover, can't we do something
more for the enforcement of pro-

pensary? If any one answers yes,
the facts contradict him, for we have
never had such prosperity in our his
tory as we have had in the last four
years without the dispensary. Will
the whiskey business build up our
churches and Sunday schools? In
word, will we be a better, happier
people with whiskey than without il?
But / submit, if it would bring a
million dollars into the county, if it
would decrease the sale and use of
it TO vote for the dispensary back, we
can not afford to do it. 1t is morally
wrong for one to put a stone of
stumbling in his brothers way, and
we do that if we help to put whiskey
here by legalizing it. We have no
moral right to legalize it any more
than we have to legalize theft, muir
der, adultery, smallpox, yellow fever
or cholera. 1t is an evil, essentially
and all the time, and it is our right
and duty to outlaw it,
]. b. Wilson.
