Ed?efield Advertiser J. Ii. MIMS, - - - EDITOB _- _ TERMS: ONE YEAR $150 SIX MONTHS 75 .*"". WEDNESDAY, SEP. 19, 1906. The recent election will go down t:ia history SB a ring smasher in county and state politics. - . \ Think of .what a .change has >beea wrought ! lu years gone by {the dispensary influence could ?elect an unworthy man for gov : ern Dr, while recently the dispensa ry defeated a worthy man for gov eruor. The fact that Ansel carried 27 ., ont of the 41 counties in South Carolina must be a little discom fiting to the wealthy liquor deal ers Vrho have been selling the state more than three millions of dol lars worth of liquor aunu?lly. The writer is not a prophet or the sen of a prophet, but two weeks agOj.soou after tho first primary, the Advertiser made the followine statements which have proven ?' . . to be signally true: "While Manning is wondering how it happened, Ansel will be \ mapping out his inaugural ad dress." "At some time in his life Kags dalemay have been fleeced hy the 'bulls and bears,' but now the Lyon iR going to take the whole hide off of him." ijgS @8 i. . It is now squarely up to the ex . ecutive committee as to whether i the people of this county must suffer the annoyance of a special election to fill the vacancy in the sheriff's office. The committee has been called to meet cn Saturday next to decide the matter. Should the committee decline to order au . election the delegation will then . recommond some une to tho Gov ernor for the place. Having passed through a long campaign and two elections, a great number of the people seem to be opposed to an other election, especially at this buay season when the farmers are gathering their crops. It is fre quently the case that an unex pired term ?R filled by appoint ment. Kind Words Appreciated. A number of kind friends have told us within the past week of the words that were uttered upon the floor of the recent session of ihe.Edgefield Baptist Association ^ipmending the -ABVEETISER for ifa-;jincompromising^ stan^-openr it ^^^Jr%u?r question and upon other moral questions. For these ex pressions we are deeply grateful. Such'kind and appreciative words from so intelligent and represen . tative body of men encourage and inspire us. to battle even harder for the right in future. When, the writer became the editor of this newspaper, nearly five years ago, a high standard was set, and an honest-endeavor has been made to measure up to it. Never have we sacrificed prin ciple for popular favor or mone tary consideration. On the octra ry, duty has led us along lines that were not popular and that en tailed financial loss, but we have always been fearless and unswer ving, conscientious and uncom promising. A Study of Election Figures. In the first primary 52 per C63t of the ballots were cast for the candidates for ([governor who op posed the state dispensary and 48 . per cent for the candidates who favored the dispensary. In the second primary the lines were even more closely drawn, there being only one candidate for the state dispensary and one against the institution. What was the re sult? Fifty-five per cent of the votes were cast for Ansel and forty five per cent for Manuing. TheBe figures show very clearly th? peo pie's estimate of au institution that has been found to be rotten to the corps. But some will say that a majority of the members of the legislature favor the dispensa ry, therefore- the dispensary has been- endorsed in the the recent election. Now, let's see as to that. In the first place,, it is by no means certain that a majority will suppart the dispensary. ThiB probably cannot be definitely de termined until the ?Le-up is made after th? legislature convenes. In the second place, granting for the sake Of argument that a majority of the lawmakers should favor retaining the state dispensa ry, that is no evidence that a ma jority of the voters favor retaining it. Quite a number of counties have sent up delegations that are divided upon this question, which shows that the personality aid the personal following of a candi date in a local or county campaign has often more to do with his election or defeat than the platform upon which he stands. Saluda, for iustaace, elected a ^^^^^?sumamt?mmaaut?t?mt i i i ninr? rings prohibition senator and one or two members of theHouse who favor the dispensary. How theo can her delegation reflect the sentiment of her people? The same may be said of Edgefleld, one prohibition member of the House and one dis pensary member bt?ug chosen". In the face of these facts, is it not impossible to determine the senti ment of the people of the stale upou this issue by polling the law makers? According lo the vote in both'J primaries, a majority of the peo ple of Edgefleld county are op posed to the 6tate dispensary. lu the first election 972 ballots were cast for the candidates for gov ernor who opposed that institu tion and 757 were cast for thoBe who favored it. In the second election Ansel received 744 voles and Mauuing 670. Certainly thest figures reflect more nearly the stand of the people of this county upon the dispensary question than the election of the two members to the Hou?e of Representatives, whose positions up?n the liquor1 question are antipodal. Death of Sheriff W.H. Ouzts. One of Edge-field's Bravest War riors? Truest Patriots, Noblest Citizens and Most Faithful Pub lic Officials Has Gone to His Reward. The hearty laugh aud warm hand-clasp of Sheriff Ouzts wili be heard aud felt no more. Hit voice has been hushed and bit body stilled in dnaih. On Thurs day night last, about the out o'clock hour, almost without warn ing to the mt-rubers of his family, and without a struggle or pain, Sheriff Ouzts breathed bis last. His body, once so strong and active but which be willingly and cheerfully sacrificed for his coun try, his loved oses and his friends, was placed in tho family square in the village cemetery on Satur day morning. The funeral wat conducted by Rev. Marviu Auld, pastor of the Methodist church, ol which church the deceased was for very many years au active mem ber. Sheriff Ouzts, having been a member of the Masonic fraternity, was buried by his brethren of thai Order. The exercises at tbe grave were concluded with the beauti ful and* impressive Masonic cere mony. Sheriff Ouzts was boru on Au gust 2nd, 1839, being 67 years ol age at the time of hts death. His father was Mr. Daniel Ouzts aud his mother was Miss Louisa Hol loway, both being descendants of j old aud honored families, whoso names have been identified with the county from the earliest pio neer days. At the beginning of the Civil War the deceased volunteer ed his services. Ile first enlisted in Company G. which , was com manded by Capt;; J^H^; Brooks. When tbe~l?r8T"lerm of eniistTMnt" expired he re-enlisted ic Company K., with Capt. D. C. 'Tompkins in command. No one who donned the Confederate uniform or shouldered a musket rendered more gallant service than did William Hollo way Ouzts, then a young'man. Ha was three times wounded and maimed while in the thickest-of the fight. One wound, that in the leg, caused much suffering during | the remainder of life. But he bore | it bravely, uncomplainly. In 1880 the deceased was elect-1 ed sheriff of Edgefleld county and made a record for faithful and continuous service that has co parallel in the history of South Carolina. For seven consecutive! terms-twenty-eight years-he was chosen by the people to fill this importact position. Af the time of his death he was iu Ihe midst of the sevecth term, haviog rendered for 26 years of service. Notwithstanding the fact that be repeatedly had very strong opposition, ae was term after term re-elected by large majorities. Holding the uninterrupted and unbounded confidence and esteem of his fellow-citizens for so long a time iu public life, is of itself the highest aud strongest^ evidence of the inherent worth of Sheriff Ouzts. No Other endorsement of bis integrity and character is necessary ; no further words ceed sd. ? Not another citizen ic the couc cy was more widely, more uoiver sally esteemed aod beloved thao he. Everybody was hiB friecd andi be was everybody's friend. Among the very large throng that gath ered about the grave to pay a last tribute, could be seen individuals! from every portion of the county. The strong ties of friendship, and their very high regard for this splendid citizen au i gr ' man, brought them hither. - Sheriff Ouzts leave devoted wife aaid six children, Lura.

Convention of The Woman's Christian Tem' perance Union of Sdtitb Carolina.. Th ) twenty-third annual coi * veution of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union has just closed its session iii the Methodist church ofEdgefield. Saturday afternoin the committee on hospitality met the train?, and quite a number ot visiting delegates arrived in ?imf fer the evening when fbe formal welcomes were extended. Rev. Marvin Auld of the Metho dist church conducted the devc tional exerciser and in behalf of the Methodists who had so gen -?rouely proffered the use of tbeii church on this occasion weldom'd the visitors. Mrs. Nelle Burger national lee turer of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union was herp in troduced to the congregation and presided during the remaining ex ercise.". Rev. T. P. Burgess represented the ministry of Edgefield and ii: his genial h&ppy manner made every one feel at home. Mrs. Emma Auld in behalf o the local union gave to the new found frieuds further pleasani and effective greetings, and when these three bad finished we are sure that our \isitiug delegates bad recovered from any incipieu' bomt-sickness, and our own peo ule of Edgef?9ld had caught mo^ fully the spirit of true hospitality and the delegates and home peopli had become one ?D heart and pur pose. The response for the Woman's Christian Temperance union wa roade by Mies Jessie Curtie ot Paxville, and the response for tbf Y. W. C. T.U. by Miss Gertrud Oxuer of Leesville. After this th? meeting was adjourned that al the audience might become better icquaiuied and some minutes of ?>ocial intercourse indulged in All together the welcome service >vas a delightful one, ypfit wa but a foretaste of what was to fol low. O.i Sunday morning a beautifu' lay full of BU u nh i II ? and encour agement gre.?t d Fdg field s guest, md at the eleveu o'clock hour th? college auditorium was filled with those coming for united servict under the auspices of the W? ma n't Christian Temperance Union. The -nusic made up of a large cboii iornpoaeil of the hest voices ii Edgefiild,, lent renewed iu spira tiou to the oocapipu. Mrs. Burgpi the national . lecturer ot of the Woman'6 Christa* Temperance Union made th* morning's address. "Pictures" were taken from three incidents in the Bible and the address was Dronounced by a number to hav^ been tbe very best that tbej' bad ever listened to. Sunday afternoon the children's service was held at the Methodi.-t church. Mrs. Bnrgpr presided on this occasion, and the address of the afternoon was made by Hon. T., Garrett Talbert of Edgefield_ .?firny-wtjr?B^oi appypcifition were, Spoken; to Mr.. Talbert -for the de' lightful and eloquent words to which they had listened and one little girl said of Mr. Talbert, '.he longer she listened the better she liked him. Sunday evening waa an occasion fora second address from Mrs Burger, her subject beirg "The Knights of the 20th century." This subject was dealt with in a new and original manner Many of us bad read and re-read the compli meutary press notices of Mrs. Burger, but the half had never been told of her. Monday morning the opening session of the organization took place. Mrs. B. B. Jones of Edge field was elected recording secre tary. Reports were made by local Loyal Temperance Legions, and superintendents of departments. The noontide prayer was voiced by Mrs. Harris of Crawfordsville, Ga., for some years corresponding secretary of the Georgia Woman's Christian Temperance Uuiou. Monday afternoon the reports of superintendents of the depart ments of Medical Temperance, Anti-Narcotics, etc, were made. At four o'clock the feature of the af ternoon session was a symposium by the lawyers, mioisters and "mere men" of the town on the question, "ls the dispensary a meaue tb Prohibition?" Mrs. Bur ger was very original in her man ner of presiding at this service. As Bach gentleman came into the church, his name was handed her, and without knowing his opinion on the question in haud, she call ee! them up to the front to discuss this question. Short and enthusi astic talks were made by Rsv. T. P. Burgess, Dr. C. E. Burt?, 0 Sheppard, Esq., S. T. Williams, B. E. Nicholson, Esq., Hon. T. G. Talbert, Hon. T. H. Rainsford, A. S. Tomokios, Esq., Rev. Marvin Auld. The prohibition sentina it is needless to say, was greatly in the preponderance. The address which was to haye ueen delivered by Mrs. Burger on the subject of excuses was postponed on account of the inclemency of thu weather i very interesting session waR held, however, even on Much a night, and Mrs. Burger spuke be fore an audience of about fifty persons. Tuesday morning con tinued the reports of superintend ents and tho election of the state officers. For tbpse offices, the fol lowing wHrft elected: Mrs. Emma Auld, pres:deut; Mrs. Sprott, of Manning, vice-pr. dent; Miss Shiedpr, of St. G Tgpp, corres ponding secretary; and Mrs. Rob erson, of Chapin, treasurer; Mrs. Tillman Denny, recording secre tary.

Regarding the appointment of his succcesor, beg to say : My cus tom has always been to refer the appointment to the Legislative delegation and request that they recommend to me ? suitable man to fill vacancy. I understand that there are two years of unexpired term in this case, and it sometimes arises that the people in a county, and the delegation themselves, would rather have the recommen dation made thrcugh a primary, though I do i;ol. think in most cases that the holdiug of extra primaries is advisable. But where the delegation prefer, to select through a primary, and believe that the people or the majority of the people in the - County desire a primary, as a rule I bow to their wishes. In this easel believe it would be best for your delegation to make the recommendation, and I await your action in the matter after you have conferred with your associates from the House.
