ABSENTEE VOTERS 1JILL ENDORSED BY THE PRESS Newspapers Approve Bill Introduced by Col. E. A. Brown. The following editorial comment is taken from The Charleston News and j Courier, under date of September 4th: We are glad to see that at the next session of the Legislature strong pressure is going to be brought for a law allowing absentees to vote by mail in South Carolina. The firm stand which has been taken in favor of such a law by Chairman Edgar A. Brown of the State Democratic Ex ecutive Committee is gratifying and the bill which Mr. Brown, as a mem ber of the House from Barnwell County, expects to urge offers a prac tical basis of action. The Greenville Piedmont thinks that this bill, which it sum me rises in the following edi torial article, will answer every pur- pu** if enacted into law. Says the PieduMift! Snelling Items.

Believing that it was donp unintentionally and in order that the publi.- might be correctly informed, I beg to make the following statement; The operation of the four stills which were captured was within a few miles of our Court House, and had become a great ^nenace to law- abidiag citizens of the county.

It gives the names of the parties found at the stills and the names of the officers participating in the raids, and the only paragraph in this article that cannot be verified by me as being correct is the last paragraph stating the increase in the price of “moon shine.” The People did not give anyone ' red it for this raid.
