Some people are thoughtless
enough to say that voting ,'no
dispensary" in the approaching
election is voting against the dispensary.
Such is not the case. The
dispensary law will he as much of
for^c in Lancaster county when
the dispensaries arc voted out as
it is now or even was. To vote
"no dispensary" means simply
we have tried selling whiskey under
the dispensary law for twelve
years? and find that excessive
drinking and drunkenness still
continue and the sale ofj^intoxicants
is increasing cach'year, we
now propose *o try the prohibition
feature of the dispensary
law, for the dispensary law assures
iron clad prohibition in counties
where there is no dispensary.
No citizen <>l South Carolina can
sell whiskey under the dispensary
law. The State alone is authorized
to sell it. Therefore when
the State closes the dispensaries
in a county upon the vote of the
citizens of that county the State
is duty bound to enforce the dispensary
law in that county the
same as she does in the counties
which retain dispensaries, by allowing
no druggist or any citizen
whatever to sell whiskey. The
dispensary law without dispensaries
is in theory and ought to
be in practice the best prohibition
law any county can ever hope to i
have, and we hope that the prolii- 1
bitionists of Lancaster county ;
will now give the dispensary law *
as thorough a trial without dis- i
pensarics as it has been given i
with dispensaries. The nearest 1
absolute prohibition Lancaster i
ever had was under the operation <
of the dispensary law. During t
the three months from the time f
the dispensary law went into of- t
feet until the Ooenincr of a I
i O - - ? f " "
sary at Lancaster \vc do not recall
having seen a man under the influence
of whiskey. Vote "No
dispensary" if you would make
the dispensary law more popular
than it now is in Lancaster county
Gambling Never Pays.
Rock llill Record.
A communication in a recent issue
of the "State" contained the
following paragraph:
"Young man, put your cigarette
on the card table and turn
your back on both as you would
C - 1 i i /
irom uic cicvu, lor there arc large
quantities of hell in both."
Truer words were never written
and there is a sermon in every
line The passion for gambling
is as pernicious?nay, more so?
than the passion for drink. The
young man infected with the
gambling spirit soon learns to become
dishonest?if he does not
actually steal, he becomes dishonest
in the small things of life,
lie steals the time to gamble
which out to be devoted to per- \
fccting his own welfare, lie becomes
neglectful in his duties to
his employer. lie becomes
slothful in his work, indifferent to
obligations, and finally winds up
as a moral wreck.
The young men of today arc
looked upon, logically, as _ the
riders of tomorrow. Can they fit
c
themselves for these higher duties
by allowing themselves to become
the slaves of the baser passions?
They must keep their lives clean ^
if they would grow into useful
and upright citizenship. Tiicy must
work for honest ends andj honest
aims and not J fritter their time (

A Happy Re-Union of the Rob- ^
n tson Family at Oakhurst.
I:
September the second, 19Q5, is ,
a day which will long be remembered
at the residence of M rs.
Caroline Robertson of Oakhurst, c
as well as at the residences of her c
children and grand children.
O11 that day this large family j
connection had a re-union at Mrs.
Robertson s, at which the families v
of all her children, and of all her
grand children were represented.
Those who have never witness- ^
ed a re-un;on of this kind cannot {
well form a conception of the n
beauty and imprcssivencss of the s
scene which presents itself to the
contemplative mind. Age, manhood
and childhood there blend t
harmoniously into a perfect pic- f
ture of life.
At about 10 o'clock on Sntur- v
lay morning they began to assemble,
and by 12 o'clock high c
noon, a stranger passing by would ,,
have thought that the entire
neighborhood had come together
for a picnic. Hut such was not
the case. It was the homing of
ihe children, grand-children and
great-grand children at the old
homestead, so dear to the memory
of childhood and youth.
Mrs. Robertson is indeed "a
mother in Israel" and a blessing 0
lot only to her own family, but "
ilso to the community in which ^
die lives. Many years have pass- '<
m! lichtly over her head, and have tl
lot laid tli.it weight upon her h
juoyant spirit that they have laid o
ipon others. Although in her lfc
eighty-fourth year, her spirit is C
:hat of youth and she can look V
"orward with more hopefulness t<
:han many who arc many years h
lcr juniors. This goes to prove C
hat added years do not make one
>ld. Our country within her f
ncmory has passed through three r<
jreat wars, and she can vividly s<
portray the departure of the Car- F
>lina soldier boys to the Mexican a
var. It is something to be asso- I
:iatcd with one who can look back I
ivcr more than four-fifths of a I
:cntury and tell all about the time C
.vlien the covered wagons used to I
>ly, instead of railroad trains, be- \
ween this community and Char- I*
cston. Of Mrs. Robertson's j\
:hildrcn?eight in number?one I
las passed over the river. All
he remaining seven, two sons o
md five daughters, were present n
ast Saturday. Of her grand:hildrcn,
twelve have died, and
hirty-scvcn arc living. Eighteen h
)f these grand-children are mar- a
ied. leaving nineteen yet to take h
hat step, so necessary to the wcl- u
are of church and State. Mrs. h
xobertson further has forty-seven b
iving great grand children rang- S(
ng in age ftom about two months d
o about nineteen years. Between a
hese two ages there is quite a
jalaxy of health and beauty. 0
s'une of the great-grand children g
ire married, although there is lit- p
le doubt that not many moons ^
vill wax and wane before a cor- p
cction shall have to be made as p
o this statement. There are v
hirteen gical-giand children who
lave passed away.
Of Mi--. Robertson's children
>tie served four years under the
'conquered banner" fighting v.dantly
for the "lost cause." Thus
ve see that she has contiibutcd
ler children to her country foi ^
he pursuits of patiiotism whether
hey be war or peace.
Mrs. Robertson is the widow /

i cat beyond.
We hnd bv squinting tip, thai
hr entire connection cohsists ->{
ne hundred and forty-six souls,
ving anil dead. Subtracting
wenty-two dead, we have left one
undrcd and twenty-four suiviors.
Of these, eighty-five were
resent, making tin- ab-ent ones
hiity-nine in number.
A beautiful dinner was served
icneath the large spreading made
tree from beneath whose roots
nibbles the old spring that has
>een in use more than half a cenury.
The day was closed appropriately
ami beautifully. To the aconipaniment
of the organ, all the
hildren and their children's chilIren
joined in singing those old,
lymns which appeal to the heart
>f age and youth alike, and which
rill never die.
Rev. David 1 lucks then dcliv rcd
an appropriate and most
onching address, after which
hey all bade their aged mother
rood lu'1' thus t > n 11 i 11 rr nn
ion which nil hope, but scarcely
xpcct to be repented.
The widi, however, of this wrier,
as well as of her numerous
riends is, that her descendants
nay continue to pay their yearly
isits to this Mecca of childhood
nd affection; and that Mrs. Robrtson
will live to see her great;reat-grand
children rise up and
all her blessed.

Calhoun, Sept. 4-?Yesterday
afternoon a young man, seriously
it' not fat.<11)- hurt, was found near
the railroad at this station, which
is on the main line of the Southern
between Seneca and (ircenvillc.
The man is itill unconHciotis
and so f.u it has been impossible
to discover lii? name, lie
is about six feet tall, about 30
yearn old, has red hair and mustache
and wears an Odd Fellow's
badge. A hat found near him
1
has the initials "J. I> 11." cut on
the inside.
The unknown and unfortunate
man is being cared for by the citizens
of the town at the residence
of Mr. \V. R. Chapman.
Foul play is suspected as the
cause of the young man's sorbins
condition, and the ncwstvipers arc
asked to gtvo publicity to the fact
of his condit ion in ni<b>r ilmr
mystery may lie solved.
