It is only necessary, the paper asserts, to draw a line between loyal opposition and those who by word and act seek the destruction of the government.

POLLS South Carolina Voters Hate His Ugly Stand on the Dispensary PRIMARY MAY MEM END OFJLJQUOR LHW Flection Today is the Most Import - j ant Since 1800 When Tillman Rodo Into Power Itevolt Against Dis pensary Has Aroused the People and They Prepare to Crush It by Fleeting Men Opposed to the Un popular System Fight Candidates for Governor Grafters Line Up to Defeat Man Who Proved Corrup tion. (By WILLIAM HANKS.) Columbia, S. C, Aug. 28. The primary election in this state today will attract more Interest than any election since 1890, when B. R. Till man first came into political power. The main issue is the dispensary. Prior to 1892 there were a number of prohibition counties in this state. In the election of that year the en tire state with the exception of half a dozen counties, voted for state pro hibition. Governor Tillman in tho closing hours of the legislature whipped through a bill with John Gary Evans as spokesman, which put dispensaries In the state against tho will of a great many people in the state. It has been a bone of conten tion ever since and had it not been backed by Tillman's political power and prestige would have been driven out. of the state long ago. Last, year sixteen counties revolted and under the Brlce law voted the dispensary out of their respective counties. The Brice law was Intro duced to permit York, Saluda ani Horry counties to vote on the dispen sary issue as dispensaries had been established against the will of the people and the arbitrary dispensary law provided no means for getting rid of a dispensary when once It was established. The dispensary people began to get afraid that their un yielding conduct would ruin the whole institution and they permitted the Brice law to go through al though they loaded it down with penalties which they thought would make the law ineffectual, because they thought for instance that a coun ty voting out the dispensary would not want to be taxee" .several thous and dollars every year to keep up constabulary. Notwithstanding these hindrances, and although Senator Tillman stump ed the state last summer in the In terests of the dispensary, there were eighteen c'ountles which kicked tho dispensary out of their borders and two others decided by a close vote to retain it. In other counties there was no election and the anti-dispensary people claim that they were de frauded out of the opportunity to vote by the arbitrary conduct of the su pervisors. The Dispensary Revelations. There had been so much talk of corruption and graft In the state dis pensary that a committee was ap nointed to investigate. There had been other investigations and the re ports had always been to the effect . that the dispensary was grand end beautiful. This committee 'started out upon a perilous journey. Their political futures as well as their per sonal safety lay in the manner .In which the work was done. Two members of that committee did their full duty, Senator Niels Christensen of Beaufort, and Mr. J. Fraser Lyon of Abbeville. Others alBO did good work, but there were members who did nothing and held back the work of the sub committee of two, the gen tlemen above named.. The state was on fire with the revelations made by these two gentlemen, showing that the state was buying liquor lh large quantity at a price higher than was being paid by bar-keepers In other states, and that the whiskey upon analysis showed to be inferior to tho same brands when- Bold to bar-keepers in other states.
