Gallon A. Mooth.


After March 12 the thirsty citizens
of this state will be forced to quench
their thirsts for. each whole month
thereafter with just one gallon OF
whiskey or beer, according to the pro-
yisiens of the Webb law which pro.
hibits the ship pment to any one p erson
during any month of moro than a
gallon of '.spirits.' The last legisla-
ture passed an act maxim & the. Webb
law effective in this state, and that
act goes into effect 20 days after Feb.
90, the date when Governor Manning
signed it. ..... .. a.: ...
The county dispensaries in this state
are not making plans for an early
suspension of business. They are not
even thinking of shutting off this
source Of supply Of booze" On the
contrary, some are advertising for bids
for additional stocks of the several
'''best seHersI''::: .; -. -.
= By prohibiting the receipt of more
than a gallon a month by residents of
she counties in which these dispen-
ssries are located, and by residents Of
the adjoining counties, the Webb law
would create. it seems, quite an ad-
ditionsl demand for the dispensary
product. This condition would prove
satisfactory to the public schools. as
the dispenssry profits are given to
support of these institutions, it was
argued during debate in the legisla-
ture. p: ... -. .:.
F. Certainly they will be permitted to
continue operation until after Septem-
ber II, when the people will be per-
mitted to decide whether prohibition
shall.. obtain throughout this State.
Should that election result in accord
ance with the wishes and expressed
: behalf of the prohibitionists, South
Carolina will then become indeed a
State of thirst.
! The prohibitionists con lend the alec-
:tien is sure to adopt the prohibition
law. II this law is enacted "wet
goods of all descriptions must go. and
the emporiums vending these products
must liquidate. South Carolina will
sthen be terribly dry State.
4 There are those who emphatically
contend prohibition will not prohibit
IN shis State. Governor Manning says
prohibition will prohibit, if the people
adopt the law, and he is known to
strongly oppose the illegal traffic in
s:the intoXicants.

Saturday night rendered his resigna-

He has not yet resigned from the
