THEY ABE IN THE EITCH. To the Editor of the Dispatch: In your issue of August 31st, you say, "It now seems beyond a question that Governor Elltrbe, standing for Ihe Dispensary, and Featherstone, standing for drug store bar rooms at every cross road and plenty of blind tigers in the country, will have to i un the race over." Now, Mr Editor, the above statement, in so far as it relates io Mr. Featherstone and his supporters, is so obviously mendacious that I cannot withhold a protest. If truth and fairness will not serve Your DUr - ? -?www ? tr I pose please do not put false lights on others. Joab Edwards. Leesville, S. C, September 3,1893. We do Dot wish to deal harshly with the Rev. Joab Edwards. If he has so far forgotten the sanctity of the priestly robes which clothes his body to use such unchristian language we will Dot forget our love and reverence for the sacred cloth to reply in kind. It is obvious that the writer is so prejudiced on the subject of prohibition that he has allowed prejudice to get the upper hand of his judgment. Under no circumstance has the TVot-vot/il-i Vw>or> in/v^ncifctont in its .0^/U?VU t/VVU ?UWUV*vr?VMV - ? editoiial utterances upon any political issue with which our people have to deal. It is a remarkable fact, and we have documentary evidence to substantiate our claim, that the very men whom the Dispatch has antagonized most have been the very ones whose convictions have impelled them to admit the fairness of this paper, with perhaps the ex ception of Rsv. Joab Edwards. We have time and again declared that we favored prohibition if it was practicable and would hare gladly and even joyfully enlisted in any respectable movement whose founda t:oo stones were total and absolute prohibition; but when we asktd for bread they gave us a stone, and cried for meat they tempted us with a serpent. The great Prohibition leader in this State, Hon. L. D Childs, and if there ever was an honest man, God knows he is one, positively rejected the proposition for the passage of an absolute prohi bition measure through the Gene ral Assembly, because he recognized mat sucu u measure was ausuiutejj impracticable, and substituted for the proposition a bill restricting the sale of intoxicating liquors to medicinal, scientific and mechanical purposes and making drug stores the medium of their sale. This bill was made, an J is npw, the key stone of the present prohibition movement. This is a fair statement of the situation. Upon tbis platform Mr. Joel I. Branson, a pure and patriotic man, was nominated for Governor by the so called Prohibitionists. At the last moment, be was forsaken, for the ap parent reason that he could not go before the honest and intelligent voters of this State, with hypocrasy in his heart and promise something which he was fully aware he could not redeem, if elected, and Mr. Featherstone, who a short while pre vious had been substituted for Mr. Childs, candidate for Lieutenant Governor, who was compelled to decline on account of ill health, pushed Mr. Brunson clear off the prohibition platform and of his own motion made the race for Governor on the drugstore-bar-room platform and he is no more the candidate of the honest prohibition element than is Governor Ellerbe. We have put the prohibitionists iu no false light. We simply didn't have to. In the their over zealous ness they have blindly followed the leadership of this latter day saint for no other reason than be advocates that whisky should be sold by drug gists and Dot through the dispensaries, which, as every intelligent person knows, means simply that a drug store can be established at every cross road, and with no one to lock after the enforcement of the law, blind tigers will prosper and tbeir presence desecrate the temples of God and pollute the school rooms to debauch our innocent little ones and plunge them into a drunkard's hell. We hav6 placed the so called prohibitionists in no false light; we have told nothing but the naked truth and faithfully warned our people of the terrible consequences. The whisky I element, in conjunction with the anti j Reformers, digged the pit both deep j ? 1 _ . J J 1 ana wiae ana many goou men nave fallen into tbe trap, and because we raised our voice to save them from destruction ere it was too late, Rev. Joab Edwards says that we falsified "and Mr. Edwards is an honorable I man!'' We have endeavored to fairly re- J view as biiefly as we could the situa- j tion as we see it, and as part of our j evidence we refer our readers to the J published letters of Mr. Brunson in | which he bitterly complains of the j treatment he has received at the ! hands of Mr. Featherstoue and his j anti Reform supporters. Now, who is Mr. Featherstone's supporters,? Prohibitionists, not a bit of i ! There are thousands of just as good, just as pure and just as earnest prohibitionists as is the R v. Joab Edwards, men who would gladly and even joyfully hail the day when King Alcohol was dethroned, but who are warm supporters of the dispensary system fur controlling the sale of whisky, because they consider it the only practical solution of the problem aDd regard the present so called prohibition movement as an effort on thepaitof the whisky men to defeat the dispensary and establish cross road bar rooms, and the anti Reformers who want to kill the move merit. He is suppoited principally by men who have "etolen the livery of heaven to serve the devil in.'' The News and Courier, a notorious advocate of the whisky interest editorially announced last week that prohibition was not the issue, the question was narrowed down to men and not measures. It was anything to beat Ellerbe because he impartially enforced the laws as he found them. We agree with that paper that prohibition is not the issue, but that it is a supreme effort to destroy the Reform movement, and as an evidence of this notice the vote of C; arleston which gave an avowed advocate of high license a large majority for Governor in the first primary. Notice the vote in all the cities where blind tigers flourish and it will be found that their vote went to men who it was thought would "smile" at the infrac tioD of the law. These men have sjught to drown the dispensary law iu a bath of human blood; they have tried to wipe it out of existence in the meshes of the law, and failing in these efforts they now hold out their cloven haod to the prohibitionists in the hope of encompassing its de struction. Is it prohibition that you want, then you can obtian it through the pres c-nt law. Propositions were made to open dispensaries at Swansea and Leesville, but the people didn't want them and they were not opened. It is the duty of eveiy Reformer to go to the polls Tuesday and vole for Ellerbe because he has been true to the principles of his paity. We are just now passing through one of the dullest seasons of the year. The derth of collections forci! bly reminds one of the darkest hour of the late panic. There are several reasons to account for this business depression at this time, chief among which, however, we of the South do - i n i..? .q: not luuj appreciate me vaiue ui mversified crops and diversified industries. We are unwilling to depart from the beaten tracks our fathers and grandfathers trod in generations ago. We have.signally failed to suit ourselves to the chaDge conditions wrought by the results of the late war. The evidence of our own ex perience and the lessons drawn from an intelligent and thoughtful observation teaches us that those progressive and far seeing men, who grasped the situation and broke away from the cumbersome inviroDmentsof of the decayed relics of a dead and buried past,are the ones who have won fortune's favors and are successful in all their business.undeitakingF; while on the other hand, as a rule, it is found that those people who have a death grip upon old ideas, and will not turn loose for fear of doing some thing for the betterment of their condition which the ante bellums did not do, are those who are termed "calamity howlers," the persons who are 'fitting on the ragged edge of dispair" whining about hard times and from whom the angel of hope has taken its departure. Let any one who honestly dibires to be informed on political and financial economy faith fully study the conditions of those States north of what was known as the Ma?on and Dixon line and those south of the same line. The first named are today in a prosperous condition. The farmers are well to do with a healthy bank account: and their banks in a nourishing condition and vaults crowded to oveiflowing with money which can find no borrowers even at the mimimum rate of interest; . notwithstanding the unequal, in some respects, competition her manufactories are thriving and their employees are paid living wages and are enable not only to keep the wolf from the door but to lay aside each pay day enough for the rainy days and to live in comfort in the sunset days of life. Reverse the scene and in comparison what a woeful picture of penury we behold. Our heart sickens and we become bowed and saddened when we contemplate our condition. The situation of the South is too well known to be enlarged upon at this time and with saddened and sorrowful hearts we drop the curtain upon the prostrate form of the stricken South. There is a cause for these conditions and a j reinedv for the disease. Free trade I is the cause and protection is the j remedy. Let us apply the remedy I and cure our financial sickness. i The public roads in some portions I of the county have been put in a ; miserable and wretched condition by j the recent heavy rains. ' Now that the primary election is over and the result, as far as some of the candidates are concerned, is known beu>nd parad venture, it becomes the defeated ones to bear up under their sore disappointment like men. It is a settled fact that all in the race could not be elected. Theie were too many candidates and not enough offices to make this possible, so some had to be left and it might as well be those that have been as for those who have not been. We know that it is very desirable to have fchp satisfaction of knowing that from among all the candidates for the office for which you were striving that you were selected by your fellow citizens to discharge the duties thereto pertaining, and in your exuberance over this fact, the tendency is to forget the chagiin and disapointment of others. So bear up under defeat. Because a candidate is defeated is no reason to assume that it was from want of confidence and respect. It oftentimes happens that the voter is put to his wits's ends to choose between two candidates of equal merit as regards character, ability and fiiendship and in voting for one in preference to the other it by no means reflects upon the other. Cast aside your disappointment and harbor no bitterness-; but regard defeat philosophically and accept the inevitable gracefully if not cheerfully: give the successful candidates the warmest support and you will have turned defeat into victory. We thank those managers of the first primary election who so kindly sent us tho votes received by the candidates at their precinct. It was a convenience and we gratefully appreciate their thoughtful kindness. If the managers of the second primary electiou will send the result of the election at their precinct at the earliest possible moment, we will be under double obligations to them. Use a ticket and write opposite the name the Dumber of votes each candidate received both for a State and | county office. To the Voters of Lexington County: I have been confined to the house since the 13th of August, suffering from a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism, so that I have been unable to get about; and for this reason, since the said date, it has been impossible for me to make the rounds of the campaign and thereby present my candidacy to the people, face to face, as I would like to do. While in this condition of health, I understand that certain rumors have been industriously circulated to the effect that if I should be elected to the office of County Superintendant of Education, that I would have my son to attend to the office. I take this opportunity of saying to the voters of my county that this rumor is without foundation and absolutely false. I have other business for my son to attend to of more importance to him than that. It has been my intention from the start, and I pledge myself now, if elected, to lun the office myself. I feel that I am fully competent to fill the office acceptably to the people otherwise I would not have entered the race. There are other rumors of which I have heard, but are of such a nature as to be unworthy of my notice, and I feel will be spurned by all honest voters of my county. Being unable to meet and counteract such reports on acj count of my physical condition, is my sole reason for resorting to the columns of the newspaper. Appreciating the favors that the people of my county have already shown me aod thanking them in advance for whatever service they may see fit to show me on next Tuesday, I remain, very respectfully, C. E. Leaphart. I The Eight Man. ! To the Editor of the Dispatch: As the race for State Superintendent of Education has narrowed down <-k nnfl as thfi ITnn. W. A. Brown, the present Senator of Marion county is one of them, I feel it a duty under the circumstances, to say to the voters that Mr. Brown is a Christian gentleman of irreproachable character, worthy and well qualified to discbarge the duties of the offiee, to which he aspires. His solid vote in his own county shows how his home people appreciate him, which is sufficient in itself to indicate true merit. I am authorized to return thanks to the people of our count}* for their support in the first primary, and a continuance of their support will be appreciated. A Friend. Sept. 7, 1808. ? Card cf Thanks. To the Editor of the Dispatch: I appreciate very much what was done for me in your county in the recent primary and take this opportunity of thanking the people for their generous support. Now that the race has narrowed down to myself and Mr. Thomas (and all know the views of both of us) I feel at liberty to ask of the vo'ers of Lexington county their continued suppoit in the ensuing primary. I will moie than appreciate their efforts in this election, and hold myself greatful to these people. Yours truly, C. W. Garris. Vota at th9 Bad Store.

Nothing less than unbearable torment would induce sensitive-minded women to submit to the intolerable methods of the o,-?r?ifrp rt net or in dealinir with diseases of this nature. That there is "a better way " than these detestable "examinations " and "local apSlications " is a truth which some women ave yet to learn, although thousands are already rejoicing: in the knowledge. They have found in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription the one unfailing remedy which heals feminine weaknesses at their very source. This marvelous " Prescription " restores absolute health to the internal organism; stops weakening drains and ulcerated conditions, gives elastic strength to the supporting ligaments, vitality to the nerve centers, and complete womanly vigor to the entire constitution. It is the perfect fortifier and regulator of women at every critical period in their development: from the time when they merge into womanhood until the " change of life." It is the one medicine which makes motherhood safe and almost free from pain. A lady living at 7 Park Avenue. Chicago. Ills., Mrs. Emily Howe, writes: " I. myself, suffered a long time from female weakness and seemed to be going into a decline. Took several bottles of your ' Favorite Prescription ' and it saved me from a great deal of suffering. I now enjoy perfect health and will ever praise the wonderful efficacy of your mediciue."
