State which voted out the dls-. peiislesBarhrrie6t Is showing any frantic desire to get back the dispensaries under the Carey- Cothran law. On the contrary, sev eral of the wet counties are preparing Ho vote out the dispensaries. The last Legislature came near enacting a straight prohibition law for all the counties. The Nash water-wagon measure, which the State dispensary people . stole out of the engrossing department and Introduced by the hand of Prohibitionist Smith, lacked onlv ebtht votes of passing the House, and if It had gotten through that body it would In all probability have passed the Senate and become law, Th. state dispensary people when they perceived that they could not head their Ship off the rocks made a desperate effort 'to combine with the prohibitionists in order to defeat the county dispensary scheme of the Carey-Cothran , bill, but the prohi bitionists 'were pledged to the other side and the effort failed. .

Now not even - 'the most ardent State dis pensary advocate who has any grasp of South Carolina ; politics believes there 1s any hope In the near future of re-enacting a State dispensary law. The political machine which Is being constructed on the carey-uotnran law, with little county machines being constructed for the control of the whiskey business in the wet counties, Is what the State dispensary people are trying to wreck, and they want to bring it to grief as soon as possible.
