LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3. 1809.
AGAINST A DISPENSARY.
- ‘ *" ~2 ' i
Lcxomni, Ga., Oct. 23, 1899.
Editor News-Herald —The let
ter of my distinguished friend, Mr.
Brand, in yonr last issue was
amusiug indeed. In it he did not
offer any new excuses that had
any bearing whatever upoD the
dispensary question, and the cause
which he advocates would have
been utterly better off had he not
written it. It clearly shows that
his plans had been frustrated, and
that he was really mad about it;
so mad that he made no excuse- to
conceal his madness. But before
he finishes his letter he becomes
more calm, and decides to resort
to a little schemeing, a little dip.-
lomacy, and offers to give me the
control or right of all the rest of
the county, allow me to run a dis
pensary in every district, and a
blind tigo, too, if I wish (provi
ding, of course, that I only hush
and give him the right of Law
reuceville). In the name of com
mon sense, I ask, does this seem
like the gentleman really wishes
to put down the illegal traffic in
whisky, or does it not seom that
he, personally, wants a dispensary
in Lawrenceville and is willing to
do almost any thing or any way
to get it, even to the promise that
I may operate a blind tige (with
out molestation, of course) in ev
ery district, if I choose ? He tries
to make it appear that I am al
ready in the blind tige business;
but did he? No. He did not
give a single reason for what he
said, nor can he. There was not a
single word in my letter to which
lie refers to sustain him. One
thing the gentleman did do
though : He promised me that I
could operate one in every district
in the county. In my letter I did
not express myself upon blind ti
gers, as they were not the question
under consideration. Of.' ,e
they are now in violation of thp
law, but this is not the question
at issue. Everybody but Mr
Brand understood what I said
about blind tigers, and I believe
he did too, but he, like a drowning
man, is ready to “grab at every
straw',” and tries to construe my
letter to mean that I am in sym
pathy with the blind tigers. This
he does to try to put. his state
ments upon an equal plane with
mine. One thing my friend did
do: He gave us a new quality to
a mule, that is that it could “blow
both cold and hot at the same
breath.” This alone shows that
he would be well qualified, and is
entitled to the position of Presi
dent of the Lawrenceville “Bone
Yard.” In this he would doubt
less find the place for which he is
best suited, and might acquit him
self with great distinction. An
other fact the gentleman shows to
us, the fact that his ideas are all
borrowed, borrowed from Athens,
and the keeper of the Athens dis
pensary. In this connection he al
so gave us a lot of outside news,
for which we, as well as the Edit
or, should feel very grateful. The
fact that he has sent his children
to Athens to school, has been there
himself to commencements, saw
drinking and fighting, saw' a man
killed, saw 100 (?) knives and pis
tols drawn, etc. All this, indeed,
is news to us. It sounds more
than anything else like the narra
tion of a child to its mother of
what it has seen on its first visit
to a city. And for this qualifica
tion my friend, in addition to his
dutios as President of the “Bone
Y'ord,” might also write a few dots
for some backwoods periodical.
The idea of a “leading member of
the church” conducting the dis
pensary at Athens! Bah! How
absurd 1 It would have been bet
ter for the gentleman if he had
left this statement unmade. It
only shows bis conception of what
it requires to be a “leading mem
ber of the church.” No doubt by
his frequent visits to the Athens
dispensary and numerous consul
tations with its keeper, the gentle
man has discovered that there is
money in the business for some
one if the thing be properly work
ed. I imagine that the gentleman
and this “leading church mem
ber” (?) who keeps the Athens
dispensary are fast friends, and
that this Atheus man has ex
plained the whole thing to him,
and shown him just how to get
the mouey out of it. Why did not
the gentleman refer me to some
one else in Athens besides the
keeper of the dispensary ? Of
course the keeper thinks it a good
thing. He is one of the “clan,”
and it gives him a good easy posi
tion, plenty of money and what
whisky he wants to driuk. We
would not expect him to not praise
it. And there are two institutions
in Athens that could buy out
Gwinnett county ? Well, this is
indeed more news; but it does not
tend to prove the merits of the
dispensary in any manner whatev
er. I wonder if these institutions
Remarkable Rescue.
Mrs, Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111.,
makes th’e statement, that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; she
was treated for a month by her family
physician, but grew' wor«e. He told
her she was a hopeless victim of con
sumption and that no medicine could
cure tier. Her druggists suggested Dr.
Kings New Discovery for Consump
tion, she bought a bottle and to her de
light found herself benefited from first
dose. She continued its use and after
taking six bottles, found herself sound
and well, now she does hdr own house
work, and is as well as she ever was.—

are not that school und that dis
pensary he visited ? They must
be, and that “leading church mem
ber who keeps that dispensary”
told him so, and that is how he
came to know. Supposing that
this statement regarding these two
institutions be true, and that it
has a bearing upon the question
at issue, think then, from whom
these institution,which have grown
to such enormous proportions, con
tracted all this wealth. Think
how much they have impoverished
the surrounding country. They
have contracted all this wealth in
to one heap, which, by nature,
should belong to the citizens of
the SJ 'rounding country. Do we
wanton institution .hat. will :lra».
all our wealth from the surround
ing country into the city and build
it up at the 1 expense of the farmers
and other smarter towns less for
tunate ? The people will answer
in one voice, “No. ” Of course my
friend is acquainted no farther
than Athens and Clark county;
were he, I would kindly call his
attention to the situation in South
Carolina, the origin and home of
the dispensary, Has it reduced
the taxeß there ? No. Hus it
stopped the illegal traffic in whis
ky, and put down lawlessness there
in any manner whatever’ No.
There is never a day but what we
read ot some riot there caused by
the infamous dispensary system.
Think for a moment of all the dis
gusting scandals we have hoard of
connected with the dispensary in
South Carolina. This alone should
be enough to forever turn anyone
against it. Do the better people
of South Carolina favor the dis
pensary ? 1 say emphatically,
No. They look upon it as a
scourge, a blot upon the fair name
of their state, and they are trying
every way they can to get rid of it.
But it is hard to get rid of, and so
would one be here, were it over es
tablished. I speak of the condi
tion in South Carolina from per
sonal observation, and, to substan
tiate what 1 have said about it, I
refer to any leading citizen of that
state, except Ben Tillman or some
other fellc w who has a “finger in
the pie.” The people there were
mislead and fooled into it. and
now they find it quite a hard mat
ter to get out of it. Let’s even
suppose that the dispensary would
pay all the taxes of the county, I
will ask the gentleman who would
pay thpm after all ? Would the
peopl<*not have to pay them indi
rectly, anyway ? Would a dispen
sary really lessen our taxes, that
is, lessen the amount required to
run the county government ? Not
one cent. It would increase it,
from the fact that it would in
crease the number of positions and
salaries to be paid, and the taxes
collected in this manner would fall
most heavily upon the unfortu
nate, and take the bread out of
the mouths of many helpless wo
men and children, and they would
thus become the real bearers of |
our taxation. There must be
enough taxes paid, either directly
or indirectly, to run the govern
ment; then why mix this nuisance
into it ? It would only serve as a
kind of slot-machine to collect the
taxes, but the people would have
to fill this slot anyway, and es
p3cially those who would he the
loas.t able to bear it. I will ad
mit that it might complicate the
tax system a little so that the peo
ple might not understand quite so
much about it, but they would
have the taxes to pay anyway, be
sides being forever compelled, in
addition, to tolerate this curse.
Have the people of Gwinnett comi
ty ever refused to pay their taxes ?
No. They are honest and sensible.
They realize that a tax must be
paid and they are willing to pay
it, pay it directly, in a way they
will understand it. The only
thing they demand is, to know for
what purposes these taxes go, that
they are not unnecessarially ex
pended, and then they are perfect
ly willing to pay them, and there
is no use to resort to tricks and
schemes to get them to do it. Then
why the dispensary ? There is no
good reason for it under the Heav
ens. Nothing to justify it except
to please the whims of the gentle
man who holds Athens and that
“leading church member” (who
is a bar-tender) in such wonder
ful admiration that he is willing
to do anything, even to the adop
tion of their worst institutions
and practices in mimickry of
them, and for whatever else there
might be in it for him. I shall de
sist from furthei argument with
the gentleman upon this question,
as the sentiment of the county is
overwhelmingly against the dis
pensary, and there is no danger
whatever of us haviugit. I should
like, however, to convince him that
he is wrong, but any attempt at

Very respectfully,
S, E McDaniel.
Mr. Editor; —We do not hesi
tate to ask space in The News-Her
ald to discuss briefly the subject
of a dispensary, as a place for the
legal sale of whisky.
In the first place, I desire to
sav that I do not want to be per
sonal, or to hurt any one’s feel
ing. 1 wish to be perfectly fair
and liberal.
The Arst dionensav" "i e nlace
into at Athens, Da.
Those who originated the plans for
a dispensary were both ingenious
and engenious gentlemen. They
had to agree upon a plan of decep
tion! Time and space will not per
mit of my entering into a full his
tory of this the first dispensary as
a place for the leftal sale of liquor.
Those gentlemen who had the
plans in their hands for a place
where liquors could be sold legal
ly, knew full well that it would
never do to christen this young in
fant, which was conceived in sin
and to be brought forth in iniqui
ty, by its proper name, therefore,
the Devil, who i$ always on the
alert, comes to his oohorts and
says, “It will nevdt do to call thip
place a barroom. % These people
will see that it is the same old
thing. You must give it a better
name, and I will suggest, as these
people have been getting their
medicine and their etc. at the
drug stores recently, that vou had
better call it a ‘Dispensary.’”
Y'ws, a dispensary. A place for the
devil’s delivery of the broth of
hell. A place to manufacture
drunkards, liars, gamblers, pick
pockets, thieves, adulterers, etc.
A place to make hypocrites. A
place where all the little devils can
go and cram themselves chug full
of the broth of dissension, and
then go out into this bright, beau
tiful earth and scatter seed of dis
cord and fill whole communities
with broils and turmoils, the fruit
of which is the poor house, prison
and the gallows, We object to
the sale of whisky, both legal and
illegal, because we believe it to be
wrong. We believe it to be wrong
because we believe that the Bible
condemns it. VV'e believe the Bi
ble condemns it because it is wrong.
We believe that the Bible was writ
ten by inspiration, therefore, it is
true We believe that we are
commanded not to put the bottle
to our brother’s or our neighbor’s
mouth. We believe that no drun
kard will enter the Kingdom of
Heaven- We believe it, therefore,
to be wrong for any individual to
furnish the material to make a
drunkard, and thereby shut him
out, or to lessen his chances to en
ter the Kingdom of Heaven. We
I believe that if it is wrong for an in
dividual to engage in the nefari
ous business of Belling whisky,that
it is wrong, yes, a greater wrong,
for the state government to sell it.
Why a greater wrong ? Simply
because she is not only guilty of
all the wrongs committed by the
individual, but steps in with her
great iron arm, and lays hold of
the poor criminal that she has
made, and says to him, “Sir, you
had no right to get drunk and go
out to that church arid disturb
that congregation; you had no
right to go to your home and curse
and abuse her whom you had sworn
to love, cherish and protect. ” We
grant that these propositions are
true; but who is responsible for
this state of affairs ? The person
who sold him the liquor, if he is a
blind tiger. And the whole people
if sold by the state or its authori
ties. You ask me if I favor the
blind tiger. No, Ido not, but I
do think they are preferrable to
the dispensary. You say “Yes,
but the tige is au illegal thing.”
That is true, but it is not go much
the illegal saie that we object to
as the wrong that grows out of tiie
sale. The object of both blind ti
ger and dispensary are the same.
The sole object of both is money,
and it matters but little how it is
obtained. We have the one in a
great abundance, and I am aston
ished that some of our great men
and leading citizens want the oth

Wo are told by Uncle Burt
Brand how to solve the blind tiger
question. He tells us to kill the
blind tiger with the dispensary.
The remedy is worse than the dis
ease. lam afraid Uncle Burt does
not read his Bible enough. “A
house divided against itself cauuot
stand.” So if Satan’s kingdom
was divided it could not stand.
Now, let me tell you something,
Mr. Brand, the devil is no fool.
The man who is engaged in the
sale of liquor either legally or il
legally, is working for the Devil.
And is taught by his father, the
devil, that his business cannot
flourish among gentlemen, honest,
sincere and consecrated Christians,
therefore his first work must be to
drag down the gentleman to the
level and often below the brute
creation. He must make liars of

his customers; he must drag down
the weak-kneed brother or member

Some tell us that the dispensary
will save our young men from
shame and ruin. God deliver us
from such a salvation. If our
boys are ever saved it will be by
the grace of Almighty God, and
not by any of the works of the
devil.
I am afraid that very many are
deceived on this Dispensary ques
tion, and are honest, too. Let me
beg you, be not deceived. Remem
ber the fable of the spider and the
fly. The dispensary act is only a
dodge, a stumbling block, an ob
stacle put in the way of the tem
perance cause, to check if possible
its wonderful success Do you |
object tc the blind tiger ? If so,
how can you favor the dispensary ?
The object, I repeat, is the same,
and the same spirit that predomi
nates over the one, presides over
the other.
Mr. Brand tells us if we had any
respect for our labor or our pock
et-book, to vote for a dispensary.
My friend, I love the fruit of my
labor, and I kindly think that I
love my pocket-book, but I’m free
to confess that I love the etornal
interest of my children and my
neighbors’ children far superior to
either. I deny the proposition
that a dispensary will lessen taxa
tion. In fact, ail information on
thiß question, obtained from the
most intelligent sources, go to
prove the falacy of such a proposi
tion. I agree with yon that taxes
are continuously growing, and I
think iiecessarially so, and that la
bor is becoming more and more
uncertain year by year. But I beg
to differ from you in the remedy.
I think that a dispensary would
naturally increase taxation and
diminish the means with which to
pay not only the taxes, but debts
generally. It would increase the
taxes by producing more crimi
nals, and consequently giving the
courts more work to do, and nec
essarially costing more money to
run them. It would diminish the
means for paying debts by furnish
ing more inducements and better
facilities for drinking. The dis
turbance in the labor of Gwinnett
county today is largely attributa
ble to the work of the illicit man
ufacture and saie of whisky.
But Mr. Brand cites us to the
dispensary in Athens to prove his
position. All that he says about
the wealth, education and religion,
I am glad to say, is no doubt true,
but I deny that the dispensary has
anything to do with the prosperity
of these things. In fact, its great
factor is opposed to religion and
education, and also to wealth,when
he cannot manipulate it to his
own interest.
What he says about the courts
and the grand jury is no doubt
true, but he leaves us to draw our
own conclusions as to the cause.
He simply gives the statement of
affairs, etc. .
As to the taxes, I’m prepared to
Btate positively they have in
creased.
As to minors getting whisky, I
can say positively that I have
seen them drunk in Athens since
the dispensary was opened. I can
not say with any mathematical
precision how many I have seen or
how much trouble, but can say
that during the prohibition pe
riod, which was between the
closing of tho barrooms and the
opening up of the dispensary,
that peace and prosperity reigned
supreme. Men who were never
known to go to Athens and return
home sober broke the record at
thiß time and brought home the
little necessaries bought with
money usually spent for whisky,
and when the dispensary was
opened up “the hog returned to
his wallowing place.”

whisky from a dispensary is pre
posterous. Any minor old enough
to be untied from his mother’s
apron string can get whisky of
the Athens dispensary or any
other dispensary. They can get
it more easily from a dispensary
than from a blind tiger, for the
tiger is hid, and the dispensary
stands wide open and savs to every
one, “if you want whisky just step
in. If you are a minor, just get
some trifling white man or dirty
negro to gat it for you.” Until
Mr. Brand explains the difference
of the physiological effect of dis
pensary liquor bought at Athens
and blind tiger liquor bought at
Lawrenceville, we will think it has
but the one and same effect, and
that when men get drunk with
like passions the result will be
the same in Clarke county as it is
in Gwinnett. No experiment nec
essary to convince us, It iB a self
evident 'act.
Now, in conclusion, I want to
say to Mr. Brand, with all frank
ness, with no blame attached to
him either, that it is not the cus
tom of the Baptist church to al
low her members to engage,in any
immoral conduct without discip
ling them, especially for selling
liquor. We are not ashamed of
the record of our denomination.
We believe that we voice the heart
and sentiment of every true Chris
tian of whatsoever denomination
when we condemn the sale of
liquor as being uuohristian. As I
understand it, under a compro
mise of the whisky question in
Athens, the First Baptist church
permitted one of her members,
Mr. Macon Johnston, to take the
management of the Athens dis
pensary. Now, those who are in
formed know that the first Bap
tist church has the right to con
trol her own body and permit her
members to do as they please, and
no other church in the association
has the right to interfere. The
Sarepta association, to which the
Athens church belongs, also has
rights that she can and will main
tain. At her last session, held a
few weeks ago at Maysville, she
declared these rights and princi
ples, und thp First Baptist church,

proAed and able to do her own work. ”

if he can.
