STATE BONO CAN- i VASSERS DEADLOCKED r ON WILLIAMSBURG DISPENSARY APPEAL?HOW THEY VOTED BLEASE'S COMMENT. Columbia, September 11: ? The ^ State board of canvassers, after a _ long and rather heated met?ting this morning, deadJocked on the appeal from the Williamsburg county board of canvassers and adjourned sine die without breaking the deadlock. Under decisions of the supreme court in such cases the action of the Williamsburg county board in declaring the advocates of the establishment of the dispensary had won, the elec? tion stands and the county will take its place in the ranks of the "wets." It was said here this morning that the prohibitionists will appeal to the supreme court. After an all-day session yesterday the State board of canvassers went irito executive session last night and decided to throw out the election in Sumter, thus giving the prohibitionists that county. They affirmed the decision of the Lexington county board in declaring the dispensary ?J winner mere anu uieu ucu na>u k an i fast, 3 to 3, on the appeal from the action of the Williamsburg board in declaring the dispensary victor there. A recess was taken until 10:30 this morning and after more speech-making and a somewhat heated discussion the vote,3 to 3, remained unchanged and the matter was left deadlocked,being, however, a victory for the dispensary forces. It is understood that Secretary of State McCown, State Treasurer Carter and Attorney General Peeples voted to approve the Williamsburg * ?' /^icnnncQrv Doaru ui uecieumg l,,c victor, while Comptroller General Jcnes, Adjutant General Moore and Chairman Stanley,of the House committee on privileges and eleetions, voted to Reverse the Williamsburg board and declare the county "dry". It is expected that the contests from each of the three counties will be taken to the supreme conrt on appeal from the action of the State board. niein'oi r<Alf\irVTT CLbAiSE. O LU.'I.UI,.! i . Commenting on the recent elections for the re-establishment of dispensaries, Governor Blease said: "I have nothing to do with the State board of canvassers, and I am really not interested in what they have decided or what -they will decide. Lexington was a Blease county, and as a majority of her white people want the dispensary I would be glad to see them have it. Williamsburg was very close and I would be pleased to see it go also in the dispensary column. So far ' as Sumter is concerned, like Orange burg, I would like to see her stay dry. "The surrounding counties to her ?at least Richland, which has a majority for Blease?will be very glad to furnish her citizens their liquor, and get the benefit of the money for good roads and good schools. So I am really not worried as to Sumter's outcome. I think all those counties had good,first-class election commissioners, and that what they did they did conscientiously, and as Governor I shall sustain their actions, regardless of what may be the opinion of the prohibitionists or anybody else."

Babies need a perfect skin-covering. Skin eruptions cause them not only intense suffering, but hinder their growth. DrHobson's Eczema Ointment can be relied on for relief and permanent cure of suffering babies whose skin eruptions have made their life miserable. "Our baby was afflicted with breaking out of the skin all over the face and scalp. Doctors and skin specialists failed to help.
