PEOPLE WILL VOTE ON
IMPORTANT QUESTION
PROHIBITION REFERENDUM
WILL BE DECIDED BY
THE ELECTORATE
EXPECT LIGHT VOTE
If Referendum Carrie? State Will
Be Dry After December 1-In
terest Has Been Increased.
Today tho special election on .the
prohibition referendum will be hold.
Managers have been appointed and
polling precincts designated by thc
commissioners of state and county
elections for Anderson county. Should
tlie qualified voters Of South Carolina
declare for prohibition, the county
dispensaries will be wiped out and
the whole state will bo "dry" under
the law after t>ocember 31. ?
The polls will bo opened at 7.a. m.
and closed at 4 p/ m. It ?3 expected
that lt will be -ioiown quite caijy to
morrow evening how Anderson lias
voted on the question.
In order to cast their ballots, voters
aro required to ahow tbelr county reg
iatrntl?n certificate? nnd their poll
tax receipts. The noll tax must have
been paid a specified time previous to
the date of the election.
Up until the past few days thero
has not been sn. mn cb interest shown
in tho election; twit' lately interest has
increased greatly and the city of An
derson, especially! is exported to poll
a rather heavy vote. In tho county,
however, the vote will doubtless be
light.
The Intelligencer will carry com
plete election returna Wednesday
morning as far as it is possible to
obtain the returns from over the
state. It 1B hard to predict which
way the election will go. There is a
difference of opinion ami considering
fact that there are sixteen wet coun
ties in the state, it is .probable that
the olectton will be close.

LINCOLN JOHNSON WAS NOT
KILLED BY INTERUR
BAN CAR
PAID INSURANCE
And Now Company Must Get it
Back-Body Wa? Identified in
Anderson Few Days Ago.
Thc negro killed by tito interurban
ear near Williamston a few Saturday
nights ago was evidently not Lincoln
Johnson, since he, alive, has now
showed up in Greenville, lt will be
remembered that a negro came to An
derson and had the body exhumed
and Identified it by searson tho arms
as Lincoln Johnson. Thc Intelligen
cer carried an article about the kill
ing and also about the body being
identified. Tbe following from the
Greenville News of ?' tnday tells of
Johnson showing U] In the flesh:
Folks saw him In broad daylight, HO
it. ls evident that lie was not a "spir
it." And those who saw hlni were
prohibitionists, or first-cousins there
to, so it can not be Bald truthfully
that they were merely "seein' things,"
or that they "liadem'bad.". No slr,
this ls not a fish story, nor ghost
story. Lincoln Johnson came back to
X?-reenville, according to statements
made by those who knew him.
Now this same Lincoln Johnson, as
everybody thought, was killed some
days since near Wllllamston, by a
Piedmont & tNortuern train. Tom
Wallace, Janitor at the Cleveland
building, raised Johnson, and Wallace
Identified tho body after it was ex
humed in Anderson, and he brought
it back to QreenVllle for burial, In
this city a white man, high bank ot
'lelah and citizen of sterling charac
ter, viewed the body, and said it wt s
thc earthly remains of tlte late Lin
coln Johnson. There was tao scar on
the arm, and the scar on thc foot. The
size was right, and the general des
cription was right. The dead man
looked to be about seventeen years of
age. and that was chi .ut the age of
Lincoln Johnson. Everything tallied
perfectly, and those who had known
t!ie Johnson boy, said that this was
lils clay carcass, where formerly hi?
spirit abode.
It is said that ins trance was carried
on the life of Johnson, and that the
insurance had beon collected.
?Lut Johnson has come back, and
some consternation was caused by his
coming. He waa all there, for you
could feel him. He was no more
dead than if his life insurance, had
not linen collected. He was alum; thc
livest man over waom a funeral sor
mon was ever preached, and about
thc healthiest whose death har- been
mourned.
Now the P. & N. officials don't
know who their train killed. Now
there rests in the colored cemetery of
this city a negro's body, but who this
negro was, no man knows. An In
glorious end, foresooth. Dead and
burled, and not even his name ir.
known. So much of a stranger wan
he, that he passed for another, and
none would ever have been the wiser,
had he not wearied ot his peregrina
tions, and longed for the home which
had been bis. But'he repented him of
his wanderings, and carno back to the
Pearl of the Piedmont, to find that
he was dead and' burled, as all of his
friends thought-an Enoch Arden,
strlpt of poetry and romance, and of
all else save the supposed death.
