Lancaster, S. C. Sept. 2:5. 1P05.
Marion County voted the dispensary
out last Tuesday by a
vote of nearly five to one. That
is about as good as Lancaster will
do. In 1892 I,ancaster voted five
to one foi prohibition and we see
no reason why she should not do
as well or better in the approaching
election, Oct. 3d
At the meeting of committee
investigating the dispensary at
Sumter a letter was read from a
dispenser in one 'county to the
dispenser of another county saying
that he had heard that they
were going to get up?, petition in
that county to have an election on
the dispensar question, and ashed
if it were true?said that il it wei\
they could get help from the State
board and hill the schemej onc<
for all. Where docs the State

get it? And whose money is it?
A member of the Legislature
from Richland county announces
himself a candidate as a mcnibci
of the State board of control. 11c
needn't exert himself. By the
time the Legislature meets there
will be no board.
When the dispensary was established
it was said to be a "step
toward prohibition. After thirteen
year's trial is it not time to
take the next step?
If prohibition proves a failure
as so many fear it would we
could go back to the dispensary.
Former United States Senator
McLaurin three months ago delivered
a strong Anti-Dispensary
speech in Marion county, and last
Saturday United States Senator
Tillman delivered an impassioned
Pro-Dispensary oration, but we
do not believe that the result of
Tuesday's voting in the county
should be regarded as the measure
ofthe relative political strength
of the two statesmen.?News and
Courier.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the state has a stock of $900,000
worth of liquor on hand, and the
further fact that four counties
have voted out the dispensary
with elections pending in many
others, which will greatly reduce
the consumption of intoxicants,
the liquor buying by the directors
goes merrily on. Senator Tillman
said at Marion on Saturday:
"They keep buying and buying?
for what? I can't sec anything
else but that they may be getting
a rebate or a commission, and utiles
they do buy they can't get the
commission "?Kdgcficld Advertiser.

As you well know we made |
some business changes the tirst of j
last year, and it is atisolutely necessary
that we must collect all
past due notes and accounts, in
order to settle with the late mem*

now ask our friends who we have
been so liberal with to now make
arrangements at once to pay us,
past due notes and al! accounts
not settled promptly will he

Mullins, Sept. 19.?After trying
all conceivable tiicks to defeat
the antidispensnry movement,
the lhpior people ran up on a disastrous
defeat at the polls today.
They began at the registration
books, and first refused to t rant i
certificates, or endeavored to postpone
the same until too late to be
legal; th' n they opened tlu: books
less than 30 days before the
1 election and registered all the I

ed. and the dispensary clenfent
* claimed that all things were now
? ready for the fray. Yesterday the
r final dentil stroke was attempted,
when they circulated the report
that an injunction hadj>cen secured"and
no election would be held.
It seemed no stone was left unturned.
Hut all to no avail, they
: went up against a hard proposition
today in the shape of the
votes (if the citizenship of the
county, and the following is the
result: h* o r dispensary, 226; '
against dispensary, 1,089. Fork'
is the fourth box to give not even !
one vote for the dispensary.

Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills
arc a most remarkable remedy
for the relief of periodic pains,
backache, nervous or sick headache,
or any of the distress
ing aches and pains tlitft cause
women so much suffering.
As pain is weakening, and
leaves the system in an exhausted
condition, it is wrong
to suffer a moment longer than
necessary, and you should take
the Anti-Pain Pills on first indication
of an attack.
If taken as directed you may
have entire confidence in their
j effectiveness, as well as in the
fact that they will leave no disagreeable
after-effects.
They contain no morphine,
I opium, chloral, cocaine or other
dangerous drugs.
"For a Ions tlmo I have puttered ?
greatly with spells of backache, tliat
seem almost more than I can endure.
These attacks coine on every month,
and last two or three days. 1 havo
never been able to get anything that
would give me much relief until I bc1-oga.n
the use of l)r. Allies' Anti-Pain
Plls. and they always relieve me in a
short time. My sister, who suffers
the same way. has used them with
the same results." MKS. PARK.
