tated haste on his part to have n number of
guests present to cnjo.v the program , But

ily largo , and It didn't icqulragirnt effort to
seouro fifty guests by verbal invitation to bo

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
TascphiM Merrill Turn nil Down lijr n Unin-
Imnus Votp.
The county commissioners hold the regular
vcokly incollng yesterday afternoon , and
igaln knocked out the proposition to protect
, ho shores of Florence lake from the ravages
of the Missouri liver.
Mr. Williams offered a resolution provld-
ng for the expenditure of piling the shores
'or n distance of 1,000 foot nt a point between
twoen the lake and the river. When thereto
rote was reached there was n tic , the reso-
utlou being supported by the introducer and
Mr. Paddock , wnllo Chairman Ston berg and
Mr. Livlsoy voted against Its adoption.
Mr. Williams contended that if some thing
ivas not done the water would sweep over
.uto the low lands uud mundato thousands
ot ncics on which vvorosltuatod farm nouses ,
shops und manufacturing establishments.
Not only that , but if the water cut through
it would destroy the road nnd leave the
county without any outlet to the northeast ,
thus cutting the residents of that disttict oft
from communication with the eltv.
Chairman Stenborg urged tint the inter
ests of the property owners in that vicinity
wcro much gro-vter than these of the county
and that thoj' should come to the front and
lend a helping hand , instead of asking the
commissioners to expend money for the pur
pose of protecting soma private cntorpiiscs.
By a unanimous vote the commissioners
turned Josophus Morritt down and con
vinced him that ho did not know what ho
was talking nboutf when ho preferred
chanrcs against the iricmbors of the Soldiers'
Kuliof commission ono wcok ago. At that
time Mcrritt filed n complaint , telling the
bind that the commission had refused to
g ve him aid , notwithst mding the fact that
no was an old soldier tiud was in destitute
circumstances. The matter was reforicd to
Chairman Stenborg. who jesterday imported
that ho had found that , the members of the
commission were honorable gentlemen aud
that thoj' had leasonT for i-cfuslng the as
sistance askod. Ho had found that Merritt
vvns in the army but sixty aajs , and that ho
was let out on account of some disability
that vyas contractedbefore ho enlisted. The
commission had fuiuished him aid to the
extent of WJ1.HO and had then called a halt.
This rciwi t was adopted and the commission
exonerated from any blame in the promises
The city superintendent notilied the board
that if smoke cousumeis were not placed on
the court house nna Jail within ninotj' dajs
ho would do the work and Charge the cost to
the countj' . The matter vv/is / referred tnat a
committee might ascertain if the smoke was
n nuisance , and if so , if the city had any
authoiity foroideiing it abated.
The school district of South Omaha served
notice that the sum of 515,000 would bo ro-
'quirod to run the South Omaha schools dur
ing the next v oar and asked the board to
levy the tax for the raiding of the amount.
This matter will bo disposed of at the fust
mooting in July and at the time when the
other levies aic made for the j'oir.

THE NEW LAW GOF.S INTO EFFECT JULY 1
Kiinctccl ns n .Subitltntn for Prohibition
Tlio Stnto Wilt Conduct liutonil of
Controlling the WlilskjrTrixnio
llcfttrlotloni Imposed.
COLUMBIA , S. C. , Juno 81 { Special to
Tun Brfr. . ] Thrco times In the last half
century the state of South Carolina has at
tracted the attention of the world by origi
nating . > old nnd unique oxpcilmcnts In gov
ernment. B-ICK In the ' 30's she startled the
union with her sensational attempt nt nulli
fication. Thirty years later she Ion In the
fntil secession movement. Today.after the
lapse of another three decades , the state Is
about to Inaugurate the most novel dcpat t-
uro In liquor legislation this countiy has
ever known.
On the 1st of July the "Evahs Dispensary
Law , " enacted at the last session of the gen
eral assembly , goes Into operation. By the
provisions of this remarkable measure , for
the llrst tlmo in the history of the American
union , the state assumes the functions of
the rumsollcr. "Dispensaries" will take the
place of-tho saloons. The baitender will
make way for the "oftllul dispenser. " The
corner grocoij * with bar room attachment ,
the club , side boards and oven the fcstlvo
cocktail Itself will bo no moro. In their
places will reign the state saloon nnd
straight whisky. The liquor trafllc will con
tinue , but instead of regulating it the com.
inonwealth will conduct It.
Origin of tlio I.arr.
It goes without saying that itho passage of
a law ns radical as this has agitated tao
Palmetto stnto from end to end. For months
it has been the foremost topic of discussion
in the press and from the pulpit , around the
fireside , nt market and at meeting place.
For years the prohibition movement has
been growing In South Carolina. Just after
the great political revolution in 187U , which
rescued the state from carpet big rule , a law
was enacted prohibiting the sale of liquors
outside of all incorporated towns. This was
followed bjf what was known ns "local
option" laws , through which prohibition bo-
cairo operative through many sections of the
stato. The experiment proved popular in
some Instances ; in otheis qulto the reverse.
Flist the "drjs" would bo on top , then the
"wets. " llus went on until a few jeaisago
when a dom mJ for absolute state prohibi
tion found oxpiosslon and bccama an issue
of the daj' .
During Governor Ben Tlllman's flrst nd-
mlnlstrntlon. the prohibition loader was
Ucpicscntatlvo L D. Chillis of Columbia ,
thiomih whoso efforts the "Chllds bill , " an
lion clad prohibition measure , came very
near being made n law.
A I'rohlbltion 1'leblsclto.
Rebuffed by the legislature , the prohibi
tionists determined to appeal to the people.
They piocuied from the state dcmociatio ex
ecutive committee the privilege of placing
on the day of the general election at the
polls an extra box in which the people were
to iccord themselves as for or against pro
hibition legislation.
When the \otes were countc l these In the
aflirui.ithe weio largely in the majority , and ,
in most cases , the representatives elected
hold themselves as bound to vote accord
ingly in the legislature. As a matter of
fact , the vote was not indicative of the real
sentiment of the people of the state The
anus did not ir-gard the scheme seiiouslj'
nnd largely refrained from \oting , and in
several counties theio wore none of the "no
prohibition" tickets displajod at the polls.
The prohibitionists w 01 e elated at the lo-
sult , and although their Icadct , Chllds , was
defeated for le-elcctiou to the Icgislatuie ,
thej' confidently expected tlut n measuio
similar to that which bore his immo would
become u law.
' Accordingly , early in the session a bill to
prohibit the sale and manufacture of liquors
in the state was introduced. Ihis hill was
overloaded and spun out to unicasonable
length , but it passed the house by a largo
majontj' .
llton the storm broke. There weio indi
cations that the piss-igo of the bill by the
senate and its approval by the governor
would seriously damage the Tillmaii admin
istration. The governor had the devil in
front nnd the deep sea in the rear. The "re-
foiui" legislators wanted prohibition and
they didn't want it. They were nnxious to
do something to satisfy their constituents
who demanded such legislation , but at heart
they dlstiusted its wisdom.
Tlio I lien ItorrcHVoil from Ororgin.
In this 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 wore
nltuinatcly victorious , a plan was bit upon
whcioby the barrooms were closed and tbo
municipality sold -'dispensed" the liquor.
Lairj-Gantt , then editor of the Columbia
Register , the Tillman organ , had icccntly
come to the state fiom Athens , and ho U
said to have Informed Govoinor Tillman o (
the operations of the dlspeusiry them.
With that cue , the governor called together
his ndviseis , and the Evans bill , so called
after Senator Gary Evans of Aikcn , who
offered it as a substitute for the oiiginal
prohibition measure , was dovlsod.
Thu Htuto'o Hli ; Hnrroom.
The state dispensary , from which the
county dlspensatios are to bo supplied , is in
Columbl-i , In the famous old "Agricultural
lull , " ono bloolc from the state houso. The
building was erected by the notorious Nilcs
G. Parker , state treasurer in the c-iipot big
days , who fell from grace and skipped , no
ono knows where. It was llrst known us
"Parker's hall , " und was used ns an nil-
'round sporting place , prob iblj' the most ele
gant In the south combining theater , gam
bling saloon and liquor den The place was
famlliarlj' known ns the "Third Housi. "
The building finally paused Into the hands
of the state , and was used by the Depart
ment of Agriculture until three j'cars ago ,
when the Tillman regime abolished that do-
pal Uncut.
The big cellars of the dlsponsarj' nro now
stored vvith some six carloads of bottles and
llasks , which nil the tear , while at the
front are the vvlncrooms , nlso liberally
stocked.
On the flrst floor U nn Immense pile ol
barrels filled with whisky. Near these arc
thico mammoth casks , of a capacity of ! i5 , <
000 gallons eich. When the work of hot.
tllnz bozlns the bairols are taken up stairs
on an elevator , placed over a tank , tin
bungs taken out and the whisky allowed tc
flow through pipes Into the casks Aftei
this the bottles and llasks nro lllloil them
from by michinory , corked by machinery
nnd sealed and labeled by girls and boys
Twenty women ndd fifty or sixty boj s an
employed In this work.
'iho dispensary Is amply provided will
apparatus for washing , drying and corkliu
bottles , the machinery being run by a 12
liorso power engine. ,
The dispensary will begin operations will
n stock valued at $ .100,000. The approprlatioi
Is only one-sixth that amount , but there I
no trouble In procuring credit. This amoun
is appropriated us follows ;
Kyo and bourbon , flOO.OOO ; corn , fSO.OOO

The state commissioner is Mr. D. H. Trai
ier of Tlminonsville , a successful merchant
I whoso wife Is ono of the foremost workui
in the prohibition cause.
0 Half u Million In I'rollt * .
Governor Tillman declares that the stal
will clear u half a tnllljou dollars by the o :
pcrlmuut the llrst jcar. It la possible , hov
over , that when the 1st qf July comes thoi
will be vary few dispensaries iu oporutlo
The law require * that iu order for a couul
dispenser to .bo appointed ha must have h
application indorsed by a w
Jorlty of the freeholders of tl
town. Thus far very few applicants have
secured the necessary Indorsement , the first
being Mr. 1 _ E Hill of Abbeville county ,
There are Indications , however , that dfs-
ponsirlts will ultimately bo established in
the counties of Sutntor , Himwell , Orange-
burg Abbeville , Newberry , Kiltjofleld , AIk n
and Spirtanburp. Thus f. r few other
county Uoirds have taken any notion toward
the appointment of dispensers. They have
to glvu notlco of such meeting by publica
tion ton ilaj.s previous thereto.
I'riililMtloiiljt * AgnlnU It.
The prohibitionists of the state nro ns n
rule against the d spcn'my scheme , regardIng -
Ing It as a means of extracting "blood
money. " They will try to secure absolute
prohibition by withholding the neeos iry
slgnatuios from the applications for the
position of dispenser. They claim that the
preventive clauses can c islly bo evaded and
that the design of the bill Is to ralso a
revenue that will almost luntho state gov-
eminent , bv which moans the administration
hopes to make itself popular with those wiio
are always glad to cscaco taxation , no
matter how.
Whatever opposition Is made to the en
forcement of the law * will bo made through
the courts. No lawless opposition on the
p-irtof the dealers Is expected , but It Is ccr-
' .aln that wory loophole the law permits will
> e taken advantage of. To sav nothing of
'blind tigers , " there w 111 probably bo much
pen diInking of other than dispensary
Iquors.
When the next state campaign opens the
-ispcnsarv law w 111 bo the lending Issue. It
ms already brought about thu revolt of some
> f Governor Tillman'a supporters , nnd the
ndlcatlons nro th.it it will result m n union
f nil the olomouU of opposition to the ad-
[ illustration. The unique speetaclo will
hen bo presented of prohibitionists and
.aloonkoopcrs . Joining hands to light a law
ibnoxloui to both ,
How It Will Work.
The dlspens iry law will put the state In
ho bar business with the gavoinor ns head
b-irkooper. It provides that within thirty
dajs from its npprov.il the governor shall np-
iwint a state commissioner , ballovoil by him
to bo an abstainer , who shill , unior rules
made by the state board of control , purchase
all intoxicating liquors for silo In the stato.
This commissioner Is to roaldo and have his
ihico of business in Columbia , to hold ofllco
.wo . years and to locelvo n salary of § 1,800 a
.oar. .
The state commissioner can sell only to
county dispenscts and Is not allowed to re-
L'civo from them moro than 50 percent nbovo
' .ho nut cost. Ho must also sell no liquors
.hat have not been tested by the chomlstof
the South Carolina college und doclutod to
bo puroand unadultciatod. lu his purchases
' 10 Is icqulred to give profcremo tomanu-
'ueturcis ami brawors doing business in this
state. These in mufacturors me allowed to
.oil . to no person lu the state except to the
state commissioner and to pai ties outside of
the state. Every package , bairol or bottle
of liquoi s shipped beyond the limits of the
state must bo vr the ceititlcata of the state
lunimUsioncr or bo liable to confiscation ,
und the nllroad carr\ tug it to punishment.
All pickagcs shipped by the commissioner
to the county dispensers must bear a similar
certificate , without wliich they are rag.mlcd
as intended for unlawful s ilo , and upon con
viction the railroad is Ihblo to a penalty of
S.VJO foi each offense. The line for peisons is
the same , together with Impilsoument In
the penitentiary for not less than ono i car.
Onlv packages of not less thin one-half
tint or more than live gallons can bo shipped.
L'ho county dispenser can sell by the package
only , and the purchaser cannot open the
package on the inemiscs
The general understanding of the law has
been that the state board should appoint a
board for each county who should appoiut
the dispensois , but thcio Is some doubt about
whether this can bo done , ns the act says :
"It shall be the duty of the state bo ird of
control to appoint n county bo ird of control , "
and now hero iu the act is it piovidod that
there shall be a board in each county.
Applicants for the position of county dis-
psusor are required to make petition to "tho
county board of control , " st-itlng the appli
cant's name , his place of residence , the
business in which ho has been engaged for
two years previous , that ho is a citizen of
the United States nnd of South Cirollna ,
that ho has never been adjudged guilty of
violating the law relating to intoxicating
liquors , is not a Hocused druggist , koepei of
a hotel , catlntj ho/tso , siloou , lostaurant , or
place of public amusement , and that hois
not addicted to the use of intoxicating liquoi s
as a beverage. Pel mils to dispensers can
not uxcoed twelve months duration.
M ly Ho Total I'rolilliltlim.
It is possible th it , after all , the law may
provo entiiclv prohibitory , as it is required
that applicants for tlui position of dispenser
shall fllo with the county board of control
'a ' petition signed by a majoiity of the fiee-
hold voters of the incoipoiated town or city
in which the paimit is to bo usoa , and o.ich
poison afoicsaid shall sign said petition by
his own tiuo immo and signature , nnd state
that each before signing has road said peti
tion and undcistauds the contents and mean
ing thereof , and is well and poisonally ac
quainted with the applicant. " In many of
the counties , if not in all , It nppoirs impos
sible for this provision to bo honestly car
ried out Even if an applicant were found
who was "well and perwnally acquainted"
with n majority of the freehold voters of his
town , it is doubtful if he could get n suf
ficient number of these acquainted with him
to sign the petition , for in that number
would bo maiiy prohibitionists who would bo
intot cstcd in not h iving any dlspcns.uy in
the county , amf who would not only refuse
to sign the petition but woik against it.
Another stumbllnit block would bo , that
with so\oral caudldatcs in the Hold , each
would fall to got in my of his own friends to
sign his petition because of having slguod
anothci's.
Onlv ono dispsnsor Is allowoJ In each
county , except lu Cliailostou. whoie timro
ate ten , and in Columbia , whoio there are
tin oo.
S "Troatlnc" Allowed.
The dispenser is required to take oath that
ho will not sell orfuinlsh liquor to anv per
son who Is not known to him personally , or
duly Identified , or to any minor or intoxi
cated pel son , or person who is In the habit
of becoming Intoxicated. Piospectivo pur
chasers must present requests , printed or
written in ink , giving date , ago and rosldenco
of signer , for whom nnd whoso use the liquor
is required , the quantity and kind wanted ,
and his or her true name and rosldenco. The
request shall bo refused If the dispenser per
sonally knows the person applying is a minor
or that ho is in the habit of using liquor to
oxcoss.
The not profits of the county dispensaries
go one-half to the county treasury and one-
half to the municipal corporation in which
the dispensary is located.
The law crushes out the clubs by provid
ing that any person who shall keen or assist
In kouplng u olub room whore liquors are
kept for barter or for sale as n beverage or
distribution or division shall upon conviction
lie lined fioui $100 to ? V)0 ) or bo imprisoned
in the county jail for fiom ninety days to
ono year.
No attempt to solve the problem of liquor
legislation has been made in this country
sluco the enactment of the Maine total
prohibition law that has attracted so much
attention ns this , Itissifoto say that , if
thi ) profits of the scheme pay the i mining
expenses of the state government , na ( lav-
ornor Tillman thinks they will , It will be
Imitated In many other st ttos.
