Some people have the mistaken i lea that CjI. Hoyt is the candidate of the prohibitionsls. Such is not the case. The absolute prohibitionists have no candidate in the field for Governor. Col. Hoyt himself does not claim to represent them, for his only contention is for the sale of intoxicating liquors through drug stores and to restrict its sale to three purposes, namely, medicinal, mechanical and sacramental. This is the kind of prohibition that Col. "RTnrf. Adtfnc*te<a. and the Derson who votes for him under the impression that he is voting fur prohibition ie laboring under a mistake. We have today under the dispensary system a more practical and a better prohibition law than that proposed by Col. Hoyt, because the State abso lufcely forbids the sal6 of intoxicating liquors for any purpose, except through regularly established dispensaries, and then only under certain wholesome restrictions, and be ciuse the State is ioa betterpositioD, with all of its machinery and with the revenue from the sale if whisky, to enforce the law without increasing taxes than it would be under Col Hoyt's proposition, with little or no revenue with which to properly enforce the law. Ail this hue and cry about the State being in the liquor business is * only an appeal to the sentimental and emotional passions of the people with the view of awakening a sympathy favorable to the opponents of the dispensary. From the time when the first drop of whisky wag sold in this State up to the present time the State has either directly 01 indirectly been in the whisky business and there i9 no getting round this fact. Under the old license system she was nothing less than the silent partner of the tavern and bar keepers because she legalized the sale of in toxicants. She sold her sovereign power, her absolute right, to certain men for a money consideration foi the purpose of raising a revenue acc to this extent it became a partner it business with every man to whom she sold a license." The same con dition would exist should the high license or the drug store system ol selling whisky be adopted. TVe have not a word against CjI Hoyt's individual character, but w< diff r with him as to the best way oi managing the liquor traffic in the State. It will be seen that the Executive Committee has called upon the can - ? J XT . A chelates lor the senate ana nouse ic state their position on the liquoi question and they will doubtless com ply with the request. The p'eople should now see to it that they do sc with a clearness and distinctness that will leave no doubt on the minds of the voters as to how the candidate stands on this issue. Id claiming in one breath that Tillman's entrance into the campaigr has help his candidacy and in the next breath declare that the Senatoi h*8 no light to discuss State politics Col. Hoyt is about as consistent as In is in claiming to be a prohibitionist and trying to straddle the dispensary and high license systems tc ride into the Governor's office. The candidates of the Stra'ghtouts have drawn factional lines in Charleston and are appealing to the voters f jT support solely on the ground that they are "uoterrified straightouts." Both the Greenville News and the Aiken Journal and Review are painfully silent about that "voice from the tomb." Governor McSweeney has made an excellent Governor and his administration has given general satisfaction. Ouly those who are seeking his office and some disgruntled politicians are his political opponents and would welcome bis defeat. The people of North Carolina adopted a constitutional amendmei t making an educational and property qualification for the exercise cf the elective franchise. Senator Tillman is a member cf tie ways and means committee of the National Democatic party. Thousands of Russian r< fugees, who are fleeing from the Chinese, have arrived at Charbin. Cannot Be Present. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Having received a telegram calling me to the bedside of my brother, who is reported to have been fatally injured, I will cot be able to attend the campaigu meetings at present. I ask the voters to remember that I am in the race for County Commiseioner and if elected will give the people faithful -.i,d coDseientiom service. R wembe? me on elec'ion day by voting for me.

He was an industrious and Bober man. He was faithful to his family and friends. Some months ago he was stricken with paralysis and was a great silfferer tiil death relieved hiui from his sufferings. His Pastor, Rtv. A. C.

Executive Committee Meeting. The County Democratic Executive " Committee held an important and 1 interesting session in the court house > last Monday and transacted conbider' able business in reference to the > management cf the County Cam5 paign, which opens at Swansea torrnrrnw. Tbe matter of limning the time of each speaker was brought up and 1 fully discussed and it was agreed 1 that'Congressman be given 45 minutes; Solicitors, 20 minutes each; ! Senator, 40 minutes each; Kepre5 sentatives, 30 minutes each and the balance of the time is to be divided ' up among the other candidate?. ' It was resolved to reconsider the last meeting of the committee in reference to filing pledges and assess' ments and the time for doing so was extended to the 9:h day of August. Oq motion of James B. Addy the Chair appointed a committee of three consisting as follows, Dr. J. L. Shuler, S. D. B. Lever and K B. Barr, as to the qualifications of a candidate to enter the race fur an office. The committee made the f *1lowiDg report, which was adopted: That no one whose name is on the Democratic club roll shall be dt barred from making the race in the primary, if he files his pledge and pays his assessment. After a full discussion it was decided to request each candidate t > express himself on the dispensary or prohibition, as to which he will support if elected to the General Assembly. H. A SpanD, Chairman. James B. Ad ly, Secretary. Chairmen, Reverse Your Order. To the Editor of the Dispatch: As the day for the opening of the the county campaign is near at hand, I will make a suggestion and trust that it will meet with the approval of the chairmen of the various meetings. It is a fact that all the candidates have been assessed by the committee m charge and paid their assessment, therefore, they should all have an or>Dortunitv to sav a woid from the speaker's stand if they so desire, for it is "our campaign and rot theirs,"' and if the present way of conducting the meetings is kept up, the little i fellows wiil have no ebauce, for if they get on the stand at all, the people ate worn out with the fine spun speaches of those whom it takes a ljng lime to tell little. Such is un fair. X.jvv, it appears to the writ<r, that it is out of tl e natural order of things to commence et the t^p of the ladder and go dowri. Now t atu satisfied and feel justified in saying that if the chairmen would commerce wi.h the Coroner that they would reach the candidates for Cieik of the Court in one and a half hours, which is about the time that one of our Senators or Representatives occupy. I also believe that the ma j 01 ity of the people will agree with me that our meetings would be more orderly aod interesting than they would be otherwise. 1 could write a long article justifying my position but a word to the just and wise should be siffioient.

To the Editor of the Di3patch: Fine raiDS and pleasant weather. Crops on Black creek are very fine. Itev. M J. Kyzer is holding a protracted meeting at Wagener, A'iken county, this week. He is the pastor at Oak Grove church and is doing good work, and is highly esteemed by the people. He will bold a protracted meeting at Oak Grove week (Un f/M.rlt.

K Day, was raking litter in the woods and killed forty-three (43) snakes, thought to be horn snakes. On the first day of AugUBt Mr. Day and sons were working in a canal on Black creek, where he is putting up a mill. Looking up the canal they saw a large snake coming down. He came near and stopped, lifted his head high, and looked venimous, but he had not found a coward. With shovel in hand, Mr. Day walked up in reach and with a side stroke he separated the monster's head and body. It was a rattlesnake, four feet eleven inches long, seven inches around, seventeen rattles aDd a button. Mr. Day will give a premium to any one destroying more snakes than this in ' 1900. Riv. M J K\zer will teach school for the people of the twenty-eighth district the coming gchool term. The folks are very glad to have such a teacher to serve them. Why is it that farmers are allowed to run water from their cultivated lands into public highways and wash them out unnecessaiialh? The Uuion meeting of the upper division met at Bathlehem, at the appointed time. The queries were j fully discussed by such able men as Rev. Joub E J wards. Rev. Cooner, Rev. Hall and others to the satisfaction of all present. The people in this section are noted for their kiDd ness to strangers, and I was almost one among them, but nevertheless, I met many friends. It was my goc 1 fortune to stop with Broth* r F.

The foreign troops are now in possession of the Coinese trenches. The fightiDg was fierce. A strong force of Americans participated. consisting of the ninth and fouiteenth regiments, Reilly's batt ry and a battalion of marines. The Oh n *90 held a strong position in deep trenches, with heavy breastworks and loopholed bouses. The a'lied fotces advanced in the face of a hot fire. For seven hours the Chinese stubbornly resisted, and the foreign troops rushed the position aod the Chinese were swept fiom the trencbrs. The Americans fought gallantly. It was these troops, with the j British and Japanese, that boie the ; blunt of the uttack on the left flank, | which turned the enemy's position.
