Mr. TILLMAN presented the following EDITORIAL CLIPPING FROX THE PRESS AND BANNER, ABBE- VILLE, S. C., OF WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 1902, HEADED FLORIDA SEEKING LIGHT ON THE DISPENSARY LAW, AND DESCRIBING THE EFFECT OF THE LAW IN SOUTH CAROLINA. JuNH 27, 1902.-Ordered to be printed. FLORIDA SEEKING LIGHT ON THE DISPENSARY LAW. Senator P. W. Butler, of Leesburg, Fla., has written to the Green- ille News, seeking information as to the practical workings of the dispensary law in South Carolina. As the reports of no two men who disagree are likely to agree, so the reports of men who oppose the dispensary and those who favor the dispensary can not be along the same lines. Mr. Butler can, by writing to the editors of the city newspapers and men who favor the license system, get one opinion, and from those who favor prohibition and support the dispensary because of its prohibitive features he can get another opinion. In reaching the answer to his letters, Mr. Butler should find out the personal feelings, prejudices, or convictions of his correspondent. he standpoint from which the writer views the matter may give color to his convictions. For instance: This editor has been a prohibitionist all his life and has worked against the sale and use of liquor during a lifetime of more than sixty years. He was as strongly opposed to the dispensary as anybody could have been, but since it was forced upon the town this editor has become an unalterable convert to the system of con- trolling the sale of liquor. Our reasons for supporting the law may be colored by some of these reasons: 1. It gives absolute prohibition from sunset to sunrise as well as from sunset Saturday to sunrise Monday. 2. Drunkenness has almost disappeared from our streets. In former times it was by common consent thought proper for ladies to stay off of our streets on Saturday and sale day. 3. The habit of treating has been broken up, root and branch. This school for training drunkards has entirely disappeared, and it is hoped that when these drunkards end their days, drunkenness will be unknown. S D-57-1-Vol 30-1
