The Scott Act at County Line.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir,—-In the Scott Act, the temperance | people have been furnished with a veiy| formidable weapon, which, if they use| energetically and judiciously, they may do

much towards the suppression of the liquor |

traflic.

The Act is now on its trial; and public | HOUSE,

opinion is Waiting to declare it a success, or pronounce it a farlure. Therefore, it | behoves temperance men to do all in their | power to make the Act a success, and show | the electors before another election comes | on, that the Scott Act is a good law.—that it is caleulated to and does really prohibit | the sale of liquor.

There is no denying the fact that the act |

| | has d sat amount of good. In the | ions where tas boon rigeay enforced, (SELBCUEG Dy our Mr. Stewart,

Phoenician, and Assyrian.

and where no remseliers are shielded from | the penalties of the law with a vendorship, | the open sale of liqnor has certainly been j a stopped. Still a great dea) remains for | temperance men to do before the act will | be a complete success. In a great many sections of the country, | N OW 0 PEN | N it is a notorious fact that there are juet as | j many drunken people, and to all appear- ances as much liqnor sold as ever. Par- | ticularly is this the case wherever there is | Fy Karr is alicensed vendor. Now, as an instance | ’ as to how the Scott Act is observed—or | rather broken by these excelient persons | (the vendors)—-} will give you a descrip- | tiou of how the Scott Act works at County | Line Station. For quite a while after the | Act came in force, rum was sold in more | places than one; now, no liquor can be} procured except from the licensed vendor— | and there is just as much drunkenness as | before. Men go there with a certificate of | their own manufacture, with an imaginary | doctor's name t» it, and get as much liquor | as they want. am told, on these certificates, as much as five gallons at a time. | feel quite confi | é dent that there never was more liquor sold | Sept, 11, 1882—whly than at present, at County Line Station. | Aad what is true of County Line is true of | every place on the Island, where a vendor- | _ At thakal ca ship bas been established.
