?M?f??ld Advertiser J. L. HIMS.. - - - EDITOR TERMS: ONE YEAR $1 50 SIX MONTHS 75 WEDNESDAY. SEP. 12. 1906. ? number of towns are refusing licenses to Carnivals, among them being the progressive city of Greenville. Let Edgefield do like wise should applications be made for a license. Modern builders neem deter mined to pierce the milky-wi>y with their spires and iurrets. The latest thing ou the tapis in archi tecture is a thirty-two story build ing that is soon to be erected on Broadway New York: Rock Hill has revoked the per-1 mit of the "bucket shops" that have been doing business in that town. The next legislature should do as the legislature of I Georgia recently did, pass au act mak'.ug it unlawful for these gambling deus to ply their trade anywhere in the state. The'elections are over tor two years. Let ns' rejoico and give thanks. Would that the people could eujoy four years of peace and quietude. Within a few short1 months the politicians will begin to lay their plans ?ior the future. So, after all,, the echoes of one, campaign scarcely die away before preparations are made for another. "For ways that are dark and for tricks that are vain, the dispensa ry officials are peculiar." State Liquor Commissioner W. 0. Ta tum, who hitherto hrs been held up as a paragon of goodness and up rightness, denied emphatically that dispensary employees were working for Mauuiug's election, and yet in the face of this denial he had previously .stut letters to oertain county dispensers urging them to work for Manning and Ragsdale. The growth of Edgefield is re tarded by the lack of resideoces) the demand now for houses being greater than the supply. Will not some one erect several houses for rent? It ia true that owirg to the very high price of building mate rial, money thus invested pays only a small net dividend, but it affords permanent investment. If some who contemplate moving to Edgefield are unable to get Jiouses, we urge upon them" to pur chase lots and build houses of their own,.which is far better than renting. The remotest corners of the narth have by means of rapid transit, cable, telephone, - and telegraph, been brought into such close touch that it is well nigh impossible for a fugitive from justice to conceal his wherabouts for any grvat length of time. Paul Stenslaud, president of the Mil waukee A.venue. Bank of Chicago that was recently wrecked through . the embezzlement of its officials, was arrested m Tangiers, Morocco, near Gibraltar, a few davs ago. . About the time that he congratula ted himself upon his safety in th is far-off land an officer of the law laid hands upon him. Should one yield to temptation and vio late law it is far better to throw one's self upon the .mercy of the court than to flee to "parts un known" to be hounded by con science and officers of the law. finally to be caught and brought to justice. ? v. State Dispensary Not Endorsed. The people did not vote direct ly in the recent election upon the question of abolishiug or retain \ ing the state dispensary, and yet * the votes cast for the several can didates for governor show how the people stand upon this question. Those who supported Aneel, Brun eoii and Jones,if not opposed to liquor in every form are certain ly opposed to the state dispensary. All who voted for Mauuing, Bleaser Sloan, McMahan and Edwards favor the present state dispensary or a "purified" dispensary. Now, let us see the combiued votes of these candidates: Ansel -39,131 Brunsen ' . 10,465 Jones 838 50,434 .Manning 23,208 Blease 16,972 Sloan 3,370 McMahan 2,222 Edwards 565 . * - 46,337 These figures indicate clearly that a majority of the 96:771 voters in South Carolina are op posed to the state dispensary. Mark our prediction, this majority will so increase as time passes that DO one will dare offer for governor with a dispensary planki in bis platform. Should a majori ty, in the next legislature be for] the system, a "purified" dispensa ry will be tried only to failas did the original. The Second Primary. Owing to a lack of interest ii the second primary, complete re turns cannot b9 had until the offi cial count is made. For this rea sou we do not hold thee Advertise over for more complete returns. Fourteen boxes heve been heard from, which give AnBel 572, Man ning 517, Lvon 619, Ragedale 457. Wharton 572, Sullivan 510, Self 636, Blocker 524, Turner 034, an'1 Griffie 405. The official vote will be published next week. A mcsFage over the long dis tance telephone from Columbia early Wednesday mo'Ding stated that incomplete returns give An sel 38,000, Manning 27,000 Ly OD 39,000, Ragsdale 26,000.
