the laxity of the courts in Lowndes

the iragedy might have been prevent

handling the cases that had arisen
between the two men. The Times
took the position that the tragedy
was one of those unfortunate occur
rences that might happen anywhere.
It was due more to the malignity of
the man who perpetrated the Jeed

not supposed to become the weapons

small expense. So long

PA88ING OF THE DISPENSARY.
The South Carolina house of rep
resentatives has passed a bill abol
ishing the state dispensary, but this
bill Joes not. abolish all dispensaries
In the state. It is known as the
Morgan bill and provides for a com
mission to lose up the state’s
business in the llfruor traffic.
The abolition of ttale state dispen
sary does not, according to the
terms of the bill, affect the right OF
counties to have their own dispen
saries if they choose, not; . does it
touch those who now have dispen
saries of their own. The measure
seems to be based upon the local
option idea and all counties within
the next two years will be allowed
to vote on the question as to wheth
er they shall maintain dispensaries
or continue (he prohibition policy.
By an especial provision the county
<3[f Charleston, of which the metropo
lis of the state is the seat, is the
only county In the state that is al
lowed the option of a license sys
tem. Under this option 4he license
for a retail saloon tk fixed at the
high mark of $1,000, but the. people
of the county are conceded the prlv
ilege to elect, if it may be their will,
to have a county dispensary or abso
lute prohibition.
This bill has yet to run the gaunt
let of the senate, and if it succeeds
in passing that body, it will still
have to teceive the signature of the
governor of the state, and possibly
thereafter the supreme court of the
state may be ailed to determine as
S . *
to the constitutionality of the law,
which in some respect seems, at this
distance to 4).e rather loosely drawn.
