iiiiuiaa i)u Cherokee. Declares Law's Lnforceiricht is ' Merely a Political Trick. Gaffney Lodger. ( To a Ledger representative Wednesday night Senator Tillman | said, among other things: "Von Cherokee people are sweeping with a clean broom in an effort to debauch the other counties in the State so that they, too, will vot out the dispensary. I will give you three years and if you will enforce prohibition as you have been doinsr I will admit it can be , THE LEJBEB rnintiow s. c4Rti:k, K1) I l\) U A N D M A N A (i KK.

On the second Tuesday in Oe toher Lancaster county will hold an election on the question, "dis l>?Minury or "no utspcnsary." The county supervisor has so ordered it. l*cl:iiotis asking for such an election had been circulated throughout the county and l,o05 names were signed. Of these only ahout 700 were found to he qualified voters, but this number was considerably more than is required by the la.v authorizing such elections. The fact is pointed out that in the August primary of 1892 the vote for piohihilion in Lancaster eouuty was 1,540 und 318 agulust, l?cing a majority of 1,222 in favor of prohibition. So it appears that unless tuere has since been a wonderful change of sentiment in the county within the past few years the dispensary will lie snowed under and prohibition established t>\ a handsome najority. It t- baldly probable that such a change of sentiment has taken place, and in view of the approaching election the people of that count v micrht r ? 'r " ' us well begin to get ready for prohibition. It is evidently coming not a day later than tne secnnd Tuesday in n? xt month.? Waxhuw Enterprise. 'South Carolina has done one more important service to the country," says The Richmond News-Leader, explaining that "she has tested the dispensary system of dealing with the liquor question on herself and has demonstrated its vileness and weakness us thoroughly that it is not likely that any other State will undertake it." North Carolina has not undertaken to have a State dispensary a (heat Moral Institution for the uplifting of the peo pie of the whole State, hut we nave been experimenting with the dtsponsary in a smaller way on ifiji 'iwu hook, rultimately there id an escape, h county does not have to have a dispensary if it does not want it. And Sooth Carolina has taught most of us that we do not want it. As the educational stump speakers sometimes say in reference to illiteracy statistics, 'l'hank God for South Carolina.? Charlotte Observer. Governor lleyward does not believe it proper at this time to regard seriously the suggestion of Senator Tillman that the State hoard of dispensary directors he requested to resign. As the Governor knows, the investigating committee will submit a report later on and this, we hope, will how whether or not the directors have been honest or crooked. They have not been placed on trial. Of course, it may be said that public sentiment has already found them guilty, but even a dispensary director has some rights. And who knows but that the evidence .nay warrant the Governor in demanding more than a resignation? ?Greenville News. ?An election for dispensary or no dispensary has been ordered in Darlington county for October ioth. - -In Greenville county the average received from the dispensary school fund for seven years, i$4i cents per scholar per annum.

You arc going to become \ careless and let the timers flourish, j You know it took 13 years todis- [ cover the corruption in the dispensary system." But the trou- ; ble was that we could yet no op- ; por*unity ro discover the corrup- J tion, senator. The rascals cover- ( cd up their tracks so effectively . and held the reins so tightly that < we couldn't yet at the thing. 1 There may be some careless, so ( we had better keep up the pro- 1 hibition zeal. f Ten Killed, Fifteen Injured, Some Fatally.

I Special to I he State. Newberry, Sept. 10.?The ^ doors of Newberry dispensary ^ were closed Saturday morning. Inspector Nichols and McCartha . are here and checking up. After careful inspection it was found mat tlie county appeared to be ^ slightly indebted to the dispensary. It may be necessary to go to Columbia to straighten out this small difference. Inspection has j. shown Newberry management c perfectly clean. Dispenser Chap- < pell is making good his statement i that he "would turn over to the t authorities one white dispensary."

Result of the Presentment of t?11 Grand Jury and An Order to Show Cause. Columbia Record, i i tli. Judge Gage this morning at .1 tearing decided that hereafter al :ounty taxes must be paid direct o the county treasurer and that tndcr the law, which is ver) .'ague on the matter, no collecions should be made by the :ounty commissioners. This derision is the result of the presentnent by the grand jury cm the rounty commissioners collecting his road tax of $1.50 and turn ng the money over to the count) rcasurer in a lump sum. The argument for the commissioners was made by the count) ittorney, Mr. lohn P. Thomas [ r., while the Solicitor represented the other side. A rule to show cause and answer the pre ientment of the grand jury had 3een previously issued by Judgr Sage. It seems that the law doe: tot entirely cover the powers ol he county commissioners in this natter, but Judge Gage, undei he act of 1902 and the general aw of better practice, said thai te thought that this tax shouh >e paid direct to the county treasirer and that the county cotnmisdoners, while having the powei :o fix the tax, the time it should jc poic\, and other details, did lot have the power to receive the lioney.
