The new Board of Directors of the State Dispensary have started out with an apparent determination, to make the dispensary authorities, as well as the public at large conform fo the provisions of the dispensary ' ^ * -? Urt cfillim, r\f tthia. I IHW 1U rf^BIU bU IUC ortuug ui > utu j ky. Ic is a notorious fact that many dispensers, notably in the cities, have disregarded the plain mandates of the law, and have sold whisky indis, criminatelv to miners, habitual drunkards and to intoxicated persons. To such an extent has this fltgrant violation of the law been practiced by the sworn officers of the law, that the feeliDg has passed into an axiom, that as long as the dispensary officials were permitted to openly violate the law and allowed to go unpunished, it was wrong to convict private citizens for blind tigering, and in 6ome localities it was well nigh impossible to obtain a conviction of the persons arrainged before the bar of justice charged with a crime of this nature. The b? a^d ban changed all this now and hnve placed themselves upoD record as determined to have the law obeyed by the citizens as well as by av havp hue uvatr o cuipivjvc. j v passed a resolution commanding the various dispensers to make the applicants for tb6 purchase of bquors sign an application for such purchase, that be shall be 21 years of age, must not be intoxicated and must not be an habitual drunkard, and have notified them that the order must be obeyed aDd will be vigorously enforced. We commend the directors for this f ff irt to enforce the moral side of the di8pens?rv law. The date for the annual re union of the United Confederate Veterans, who are to meet in Charleston this year, will not be changed, an has been suggested because it coi flicfced with the date of the State Democratic Convention so that the time originally set May 17,18 and 19 will remain. There was a special meeting of of the State Fair Association in C> lumbia Mondav for the purpose of carrying into fff-ct the terms of the agreement between the society and the citv council for the removal of ?- ^ ? _ ? I the fair grounds to the Martin tract near the UnioD d? pot. A New Orleans man has bad bis backbone rem< ved. But then we have known some men wbo never bad any backbone to begin with. Ain't it so ? Congressman Legare, of Charleston,. entertained a party of twentyfive Corgres^men last Saturday, who came Sou'h to inspect the Nival Yard in that city. Week befo-e last a negro confined in the jail at Newberry threw red pepper in the eyes of the jailer and made his escape. A Degro in Charleston killed another negro a day or so ago just because he laughed at him. The township clubs are responding to the call of the Democratic county chairman. Iq a city of 35,000 inhabitants a mayor and board of aldermen were elected vesterday by a total vote of 186. This email vote was, of course, due to the fact that the election was i settled in the primary. Taking a congressional district, about t he same proportionate vote is cast at the general election, which is the one which really elects a candidate. -The habit we have gotten into of not votiDg at ' general elections for congressman is one which gives Republicans some prima facie evidence upon which to i make a contest, because congressmen generally cannot understand whv so small a vot* is cast in the election ? Columbia Evening Record. The above is a truth as applicable to the State at large as it is to the city of Columbia, and it is a condition existing that is deplorable, and if ^ L ? f Vl O CODUQUeU IU UC jjiaiinvou uj iuv voters at large is liable to work much barm. It is as much the baunden duty of the elector to vote in the general election as it is in the primary. We believe that when an elector presents himself to vote at the primary election, he takes an oath that he will | support t' e nominees of the Democratic party, and if he fails to do so at the general election, it follows as a master of course that he disregards his oHth to say the least. , ' Auother bad effect that this carelessmss and indiffetencp, for it can be called by no other names, of the voter is that it gives a semblance of truth to the contention of the Republican contestants for Democratic seats in Congress that the Democratic vote was so small in the general election that had some of the negroes not been disfranchised, the contestant would have been elected and the Northern Republicans, not understanding the true situation, give fcbem a responsive ear. Democrats should do their duty in the Dexfc general election by supporting the nominees of the party. Only State Treasurer Jennings Railroad Commissioner Gani9 and Secretary of State Gantt, it is said, will hav8 opposition this year.

A Sad Accident. Saturday morning while Mr. Nathaniel Oxner was on his way to Leesville he was thrown from his wagon and instantly killed. He left home about ten o clock and after going about a mile, or as he was neariDg Rocky creek, it is supposed tbat be opeoed bis umbrella which frightened one of the mules and ran the w3gon on an embankment and caused the body with the shingles to over balance and in falling, one of the bunches of shingles fell on Mr. Oxoers head which disfigured his face very much and is thought to be what caused his death.

Y., had two houses exactly alike9 and painted them; one Devoe leadpnd-zinc; the other barytes-and-zine. He paid same price for both paints. He used six gallons of lead-andzine, 12 gallons barytee-and-zinc. He paid ?18 for painting leadandzioc, ?36 for painting barytes andzinc. The total cost of the lead-and zinc job was $27; the total cost, of the barvtes and-zinc job was 854. He didn't know be was buying baryter; the dealer told him that paint was as good as Devoe. A fair example of how it generally comes-out, when you buy "something just as good'' Better go by the name; and the name is Devoe. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co, New York. P. S. The Kaufmann Drug Co., sells our paint. ? Shady Grove Items. To the Editor of the Dispatch: . We are needing rain at present. Our farmers are in good spirits. They are going ahead planting corn and cotton and will not neglect to plant plenty corn. The wheat and oats are looking well. The Shtidy Grove Sunday school is getting along well under the management of our Superintendent, Mr. Lucius Bouknight. One of our boys Dear Shady Grove has built a beautiful cage. Everytime we naaa we look to see tun bird - J peeping out of the window einging the beautiful spring songs. Miss Minnie, the accomplished daughter of Mr. G. L. Bouknight, paid a flying visit to Augusts, Ga , accompanied by her brother, Madison. She reports a pleasant visit. Messrs. Emory and Ulyeses Bouknight paid their bother, L. M. Bouknighfc, a visit at Newberry college recently. The fruit is almost a failure in our community. Messrs. Lonnie and Gues Eleazer, two of our best farmers, are running a store at their home. They are doing a good business. Farmer. April 10, 1904.
