To a Ledger representative
Wednesday night Senator Tillman |
said, among other things: "Von
Cherokee people are sweeping
with a clean broom in an effort to
debauch the other counties in the
State so that they, too, will vot

you three years and if you will

Lancaster, S. C. Sept 13. 1!M)5.
On the second Tuesday in Oe
toher Lancaster county will hold
an election on the question, "dis
l>?Minury or "no utspcnsary."
The county supervisor has so ordered
it. l*cl:iiotis asking for
such an election had been circulated
throughout the county and
l,o05 names were signed. Of
these only ahout 700 were found
to he qualified voters, but this
number was considerably more
than is required by the la.v authorizing
such elections. The
fact is pointed out that in the August
primary of 1892 the vote for
piohihilion in Lancaster eouuty
was 1,540 und 318 agulust, l?cing
a majority of 1,222 in favor of
prohibition. So it appears that
unless tuere has since been a wonderful
change of sentiment in the
county within the past few years
the dispensary will lie snowed under
and prohibition established t>\
a handsome najority. It t- baldly
probable that such a change of
sentiment has taken place, and in
view of the approaching election
the people of that count v micrht
r ? 'r " '
us well begin to get ready for
prohibition. It is evidently coming
not a day later than tne secnnd
Tuesday in n? xt month.?

'South Carolina has done one
more important service to the
country," says The Richmond
News-Leader, explaining that
"she has tested the dispensary
system of dealing with the liquor
question on herself and has demonstrated
its vileness and weakness
us thoroughly that it is not
likely that any other State will
undertake it." North Carolina
has not undertaken to have a State
dispensary a (heat Moral Institution
for the uplifting of the peo
pie of the whole State, hut we
nave been experimenting with the
dtsponsary in a smaller way on
ifiji 'iwu hook, rultimately there
id an escape, h county does not
have to have a dispensary if it does
not want it. And Sooth Carolina
has taught most of us that we do
not want it. As the educational
stump speakers sometimes say in
reference to illiteracy statistics,
'l'hank God for South Carolina.?
Charlotte Observer.
Governor lleyward does not
believe it proper at this time to
regard seriously the suggestion of
Senator Tillman that the State
hoard of dispensary directors he
requested to resign. As the Governor
knows, the investigating
committee will submit a report
later on and this, we hope, will
how whether or not the directors
have been honest or crooked.
They have not been placed on
trial. Of course, it may be said
that public sentiment has already
found them guilty, but even a
dispensary director has some
rights. And who knows but that
the evidence .nay warrant the
Governor in demanding more than
a resignation? ?Greenville News.
?An election for dispensary
or no dispensary has been ordered
in Darlington county for October
ioth.
- -In Greenville county the
average received from the dispensary
school fund for seven
years, i$4i cents per scholar per
annum. Hardly enough says a
correspondent to furnish the pupils
with chalk, ink, pencils and
writing pads.
<l<>ne. You arc going to become \
careless and let the timers flourish, j
You know it took 13 years todis- [
cover the corruption in the dispensary
system." But the trou- ;
ble was that we could yet no op- ;
por*unity ro discover the corrup- J
tion, senator. The rascals cover- (
cd up their tracks so effectively .
and held the reins so tightly that <
we couldn't yet at the thing. 1
There may be some careless, so (
we had better keep up the pro- 1
hibition zeal. f

result of a car of the Ninth ave- 1

six persons were killed and fifteen 1
injured, some fatally, shortly af- 1
ter 7 o'clock this morning. The t
accident happened at Ninth avenue

Newberry Dispensary is Closed j
and Clean.

Special to I he State.
Newberry, Sept. 10.?The ^
doors of Newberry dispensary ^
were closed Saturday morning.
Inspector Nichols and McCartha .
are here and checking up. After
careful inspection it was found
mat tlie county appeared to be ^
slightly indebted to the dispensary.
It may be necessary to go
to Columbia to straighten out this
small difference. Inspection has j.
shown Newberry management c
perfectly clean. Dispenser Chap- <
pell is making good his statement i
that he "would turn over to the t
authorities one white dispensary."

the earthquake were more disastrous
than at first reported. Dls- ^

shows 2.200 casualties, while at ?

estimated at 300 and at I.appola ^
200. Many persons are still entombed

Result of the Presentment of t?11
Grand Jury and An Order to
Show Cause.
Columbia Record, i i tli.
Judge Gage this morning at .1
tearing decided that hereafter al
:ounty taxes must be paid direct
o the county treasurer and that
tndcr the law, which is ver)
.'ague on the matter, no collecions
should be made by the
:ounty commissioners. This derision
is the result of the presentnent
by the grand jury cm the
rounty commissioners collecting
his road tax of $1.50 and turn
ng the money over to the count)
rcasurer in a lump sum.
The argument for the commissioners
was made by the count)
ittorney, Mr. lohn P. Thomas
[ r., while the Solicitor represented
the other side. A rule to
show cause and answer the pre
ientment of the grand jury had
3een previously issued by Judgr
Sage. It seems that the law doe:
tot entirely cover the powers ol
he county commissioners in this
natter, but Judge Gage, undei
he act of 1902 and the general
aw of better practice, said thai
te thought that this tax shouh
>e paid direct to the county treasirer
and that the county cotnmisdoners,
while having the powei
:o fix the tax, the time it should
jc poic\, and other details, did
lot have the power to receive the
lioney.
