For months it haa been the foremoat topic of dissuasion in the press and from the pulpit, around the fireside, at market and at meeting-placeFor yeara the prohibition s. movement haa been growing in South Carolina. During Gov. Ben Tillmana first administration the prohibition leader waa Kepresen: stive L. D. Childs of Columbia, through whose efforts the Childs bill, an ironclad prohibition measure, came very near being made a law. Rebuffed by tha legislature, tha determined to appeal to the people. They procured from the atata democratic executive committee the privilege of placing on tha day of the general election at the polls an extra box, in which tha people were to record themselves aa for or against prohibition legislation. When the votes were counted those in tha affirmative were largely in tha majority, and in moat caaea tha representatives elected held themselves as bound to vote accordingly in the legislature. Early in the session a bill to prohibit the sale and manufacture of liquors in the atata waa introduced. This bill waa overloaded and spun out to unreasonable length, but it passed the houaa by a large majority. Then tha storm broke.

In thia dilemma the dispensary bill was devised. It seems that in the town of Athens, Ga., after a series of local option battles, in which the two factions wen alternately victorious, a plan waa hit upon whereby the bar- rooms wen dosed and tha municipallty sold or dispensed the liquor. Larry Gantt, then editor of the Columbia Register, the TlUman organ, had recently come to the state from Athena and he ia said to have informed Gov. Tillman of the operations SECTION loophole the law permits will bo taken advantage of. To aay nothing of blind tigers," there will probably be much open drinking of other than dispensary liquors. When the next state campaign opens tha dispensary law will be the leading iseua It haa already brought about tha revolt of aoma of Gov. Tillman's supporters, and the Indication a are that it will result in a union of all the elements of opposition to the administration. Tha unique spectacle will then bo presented of prohibitionists and saloonkeeper joining hands to fight a law obnoxious to both. The dispensary law will put the atata in the bar business, and tha governor aa head barkeeper. It provides that within thirty days from ita approval the governor shall appoint a state commissioner, believed by him to ha an abstainer, who shall, under rules made by the state board of control, purchase all intoxicating liquors to sale in the atata This commissioner la to reside and have his place of business in Colombia, to hold office two years, and to reoeivo a salary of 91.800 a year. The atata commissioner can soil only to county dispensers, and ia not to receive from them more than 10 per oent above the net cost. He most also sell no liquors that have not been tested by the chemist of the Benth Carolina college and declared to be pure and unadulterated. In his purchases he is required to give preference to manufacturers and brewers doing buaineas in the atata These manufacturers are allowed to sell to no person in the state except to the state commissioner.
