An Klec*ion Ordered in Spartanburg
County.
Spartanburg, Aug. 30.?Supervisor
D. M. Miles today ordered
an election on the issue of "dispensary"
or "no dispensary," to
be held on Tuesday, November
14th. On this date the general
election to confirm the primary
as to the choosing of a senator and
a coroner will be held, and by
both coming on that date the coun
iy will uc >avtu tut- ca^wii.1^ v/i
two separate managers?about
$700 or $800. Different boxes
will be placed at the polls for the
dispensary election. The date
meets with the approval of the
prohibiton workers. The petition
asking for the election was signed
by 2,8go men. In addition certified
corrections of registration lists
were sent in from a number of the
largest county precincts.
Prohibition is bound to come.
The moral sentiment that exists
in the plain, rugged, grand and
noble country people, actuated by
proper feelings of God-loving virtue,
have started this reformation
and not all the dispensary aJJJment,
this side or the other side
of perdition can stop its onward
march to victory.

Judge Jones on Dogs.
Valuable opinion Sent tha Record
by William J. Cherry, Esq.
i'o the Kditoi of The Record:
Sir: In view of the recent wholeale
slaughter of Rock Hill dogs
he following from the opinion of
\ssociate Justice Jones, in the
:ase of State vs. Landford, 55
5. C.. Reports, 324-5 ,in which
:asc he held Miat a dog is a subect
of larceny, becomes lnterestng
reading:
" Neither is it just to say of the
Jog that its nature is so base as to
render it unworthy of protection
as absolute property, for Baron
Cuvicr says the dog is the 'competcst,
the most sigular, and the
most useful conquest ever made
by man., When we are told that
the Greeks and Romans employed
dog in war, armed with spiked
collars, and that Corinth was
saved by the war dogs which attacked
and checked the enemy
until the sleeping garrisons were
aroused, we better understand
Shakespeare's Antony when he
said, 'Cry havoc, and let slip the
dogs of war.' We should not let
our contempt for sheep-killing
dogs and our dread of hydrophobia
do injustic to the noble Newfoundland,
that braves the water
to rescue the drowning child; to
the Esquimaux dog, the burden
bearer of the arctic regions; to the
shep dog, that guards the shepherd's
flocks and makes sheep
raising possible in some countries;
to the St. Bernard dog, trained to
rescue travellers lost or buried in
the snows of the Alps; to the
swift, docile greyhound; to the
nnrlfnrr??.rnrrinor cr?nriif?1 tn tlip na
I ?fa~ fa I - ? - ?
gacious setters and pointers,
through whose eager aid our tables
arc supplied with the game of the
season; to the fleet fox-hounds,
whose music when opening on the
fleeing fox is sweet to many ears;
to the faithful watch-dog, whose
honest bark, as Byron says, 'bays
deep-mouthed welcome as we
draw near home;, to the rat-exterminating
terrier; to the wakeful
flee, which tbe burglar dreads
more than he does the sleeping
master; to even the pug, whose
ugliness inspires the admiration of
themistress; to the brag 'possum
and coon dog, for which the owner
will fight if imposed upon; and,
lastly, to the pet dog, the playmate
of the American boy, to say nothing
of the 'yaller dog,' who defies
legislatures."
Yours very truly,
YVM. J. Cherry.

Fire at Alms House.
Special to News and Courier.
Chester, August 30?Between
12 and 1 o'clock Monday morning
a destructive fire occurred out at
the county poor house, three miles
north of town. The barn, with
contents, 100 bales of last year's
stores, 2,000 bundles of new fodder,
three mules and seven calves
were consumed, as was also the
crib, containing between 50 and
60 bushels of corn, and the chicken
house. Mr. Turner, the manager,
was able to save two of the
best muies, but nothing more, the
flames having made such progress
before be was aroused.
The barn was insured for $300,
the crib for $65 and the chicken
house for $ 12 in the State sinking
fund insurance, in which all of the
other public property is insured.
Supervisor John O. Darby informs
this correspondent that the
total loss is about $800, with $357
insurance. No one has any idea
how the fire originated.

How Recent Action Affects \
Dispensary. : u.
k
Bully a Quarry of a Million Dollars
in Sales.?Based on Report
of La:,t Year.
The State, 31st inst.
The action of Union and Newberry
counties in voting the dispensary
out of business within
their borders is more significant ^
than at first might appear. Taken ^
in connection with the similar ac- .
tion of Pickens and Cherokee ^
counties, it means that the dis- j
I as
nensarv will lif L-nnrb-nrl nut of I
r oi
$2 50,000 worth ot business. Thus
j 111
the action of the counties named
will affect the body politic of the ^
dispensary system as well as their ^
own internal regulations.
The report of the State board
of directors for the fiscal year 1904 (
shows that the sales from the .
1 ^
State dispensary to the county
dispensers in that year were as
follows:
Cherokee. ^
Blacksburg $16,052.81 ^
Gaffney 45,484.42 ^
Pickens 25,381.76
Newberry.
Newberry 58,882.34
Prosperity 11,768.39
Union 86,164.70
e
Total $243,734-42 *
Beer Dispensaries.
Gaffney $2,783.65 j
Union?May 2,615.81 ^
?Nelson 1,630.62
a
Newberry 2,702.44 ^
Total $9,732.52 fW
Total sales of whiskey and of ,
beer to dispensaries in the four ^
counties named was $253,466.94. ^
Total sales of whiskey from the
State dispensary to the county ^
dispensaries last year, $2,778,018.06;
total sales of beer, $234,384.53
Total sales 1904, $3.- t'
012,402.59. } j
In this connection a ?tudy of
the report for last year shows an ^
interesting matter in connection
with the gross sales. The coun
..f n...? ?1 11 :.li?1

last year sold nearly one-fourth of ^
the entire output of the dispensary.
After the Bat Hunters. !
" For the last time," said Game
(
Warden Fishburne, " I wish to
warn these who are shooting bats
and other insect-eating birds that
they are violating the law and that *
tomorrow I will prosecute any J
one reported or caught."
Mr. Fishburne has recently been
appointed game warden for this j
county and he says that he pro- ,
poses to enforce the law. There
is a heavy fine for killing bats or ^
shootincr eame out of season.?
Columbia Record.
Mr. Landrum Will Resign |
Special to Record. '
Spartanburg, Aug. 30.?Because
he says he can't obtain the <
co-operation of the head dispensary
officials in Columbia, II. G. Landrum,
chairman of the county (
board, announced today that he '
will resign. Landrum says he desires
the board to remove the dispensers
whose names were discreditably
connected with the recent
investigation, but alleges the two
other members of the board refuse '
to take action. Asked about the
prosecutions he said: " That if he
could clear up the situation there (
would be plenty of time to consider
such a step."

Will Endeavor to Explain n
Why lie Let a Contract for uOO!
i i ,000,000 Labels to a
Cincinnati Firm When
He Had Several
Lower Bids. (inn
N
)ecial to Charlotte Observer.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 31.?
ne of the star witnesses at the
miter session of the dispensary in si
vestigating commission, will be tiruli
irector L. W. Boy kin, who has
J . lions
ked the commission to put him
1 the stand in order that he rpj,
ight correct certain injurious im- mile
cssions that he correctly sur- in
ises have gone out as a result of
b . Iiors
ic way in which his purchase ol j,e ?
[,000,000 labels from a Cincin
iti concern was presented at the Tl
;ssion of the commission here "J?ul
, <*ou I
St week.
He is evidently confident of sas'ac
o/ily explaining the matter, T]
nd he may be able to do this,
ut the public is interested in tow
... . r pint
nowing how he is going to face
tc situation as it will be present- rj,
d to him in various ways by the jow
ommission. According to the
:stimony of the clerk of the board, A
ome bids were secured from oth- Tu<
r houses, but those bids do not
eem to have been considered and ' j
o record cf them was left at the j
flice, Mr. Boykin carrying off the and
:ttcrs with him. The commission y?u
/ill put up evidence to show that
t least two offers, and these ^
hrough South Carolina, people,
/ere made for the work at half Whl
he amount agreed to be paid to ten<
he Cincinnati company, which is V01'
ami
ot a label-making concern, but
n^rcly manufacturers of glass. j.
Hut the purchase is attacked mo
lot only on the ground that an ro<)1
xtravagant price was paid, but ^'n
lso on the ground that the quan- (_;aI
ity was ridiculously too large, yea
'ersons connected with the dis>cnsary
estimated that the supply
vould last, "a year or perhaps
nore than that," but according to
he way an expert whiskey man dw<
ignres tlie tiling out, Air. noyusn Clt5las
bought enough labels to last 'tr
:he dispensary six 01 ciglit years, c;
f the institution itself last that l ig
ong. He works it out this way: le'
riiere being three denominations
I
>f case goods, half-pints, pints and ^
quarts, with 48 bottles in the case wil
>f the first, 24 bottles in the sec- ?nc
:>nd, and 12 in the last, the aver- yt>l
MOII
?ge number of bottles in a case is
18, and the average case will
:herefore require 28 labels. An
iven mumber of each kind was
purchased, showing Mr. Boykin's
aith in the maintenance of the
average. The 11,000,000 labels,
:he whiskey man argues with ,t 1
:orce, will tag as many cases as ret
11,000,000 is divisible by 28, ^V1
which, on investigation, will be .
found to be 396,429 cases. Now ^
the average price of a case is
figured at $12. The value of the &i
whiskey these labels will cover ?Ii
will, therefore, be something like
?4,745,148, which is . more than
five times as much as the total "
:asc goods business of the dispensary
in a year. If the cases
these label.s would suddIv. at an
- II ? ?
average of 28 bottles to the case,
were placed end to end beginning
at the State dispensary, the chain
thus formed would reach any subdispensary
in the State.

A Fact That Remains.
Gaflfney, S. C., Ledger. _
You gentlemen who advocate i
the dispensary may talk as you I Di
please, but the fact remains that }
no man can handle whiskey in any
manner whatever, either to drink,
'I
sell or make it, without sooner or
.... 1 . 1,11
later yielding to its evil influence. (
