SUMMARY:The South Carolina Dispensary System and the Bottles it Left Behind
DESCRIPTION:The Horry County Museum presents a program by Michael Lewis on the South Carolina Dispensary System on Saturday\, July 13th\, at 1:00 PM. \nSouth Carolina’s state-run liquor dispensary system lasted from 1893-1907. The first of its kind in North America\, the South Carolina Dispensary promised a middle of the road solution to liquor policy\, allowing people to drink but eliminating the side effects of gambling\, drunkenness and prostitution associated with saloons. Lewis tells the political rise and demise of the dispensary through the lens of how it played out in the town of North Augusta. Initially the town’s location across the river from Augusta Georgia (a dry city) created a financial windfall. Within a few years the political corruption associated with the dispensary led voters to adopt prohibition. \nMichael Lewis is a professor of Sociology at Christopher Newport University in Newport News Virginia. He studies historical changes in alcohol regulation in the United States with a particular focus on state regulatory systems. In addition to “The Coming of Southern Prohibition” he is the coeditor of “Prohibition’s Greatest Myths: The Distilled Truth about America’s Anti-Alcohol Crusade.” \nThe program is free to the public and will be held in the Museum’s McCown Auditorium located at 805 Main Street\, Conway\, SC 29526. For more information\, call 843-915-5320 or email hcg.museum@horrycountysc.gov. To view a full list of scheduled programs\, visit the museum website at www.horrycountymuseum.org.
