Cromer Urges Tillman to Oppose Dispensary Movement
The letter from George B. Cromer of Newberry to Senator Ben Tillman argues against political manipulation of the dispensary issue. Cromer urges Tillman to speak as a statesman, not a partisan, and warns that endorsing the dispensary as a school funding device corrupts morals. He cites public morality, cites Kansas and South Carolina contrasts, and recalls Jeffersonian ideals while urging a free, nonpartisan vote on the moral question. The piece ends with Cromer’s Newberry address date and a brief domestic notice on catarrh remedies.
