Dear Sir: Your open letter shows that three thing* are before you: First, voar oath; second, the law; third, 1,317 names. In the presence of these you ask for truth. Well, if you go with me, I ^ill try to find the "truth in the matter" for you. I wiil not troable you much about your oath or the law, but just go after the truth for you. In a public meeting held in the court house some time ago it was decided to petition you to order an election to decide whether the dispensary, which is costing the county S5.000 a year to run, should be _ -l t il _ a a- 11 i r removed, m mat meeciDg tne numuer 01 qualified voters in the county was estimated by ex-Senator. Sharpe et somewhere between 35 and ZT hundred. No one demurred at his estimate. Petitions were prepared and put in the hands of canvassers asking for the names of qualified voters. 1.217 names was the result of this canvass. You counted these names in your office and gave a written voucher thit they were correct. You and others went and examined the registration books and found that 6 383 certificates had been issued duriDg the life of those books. It was shown to you there that as many as four of these certificates had been given to one man. This by reason of the fact of change of residence, loss of certificates and obtaining renewals while the formation of new precints give many double and more entries, and removals from the county and deaths would take off many ot the certificates It was shown to you that the precinct book for Bed Bink was the best marked book in the county, giving 170 ceitificates with 51 less by death and removal It was shown that this ratio applied to all the precinct books would put the number of qualified voters within a short distance of ex-Senator Sharpe's estimate. You saw all of this, but by reason of cerrt AfiAAD TTTV*T rvn b A KAAT\ AA?*V | uuu uvuvco nutvu j wu oaiu uau uccu oci ? ed on j on, a second canvass was undertaken. The final result of this canvass has never been known as a lot of the petitions have not been received. In those that were received 100 additional names were given you in your office and you market them correct You admitted that one had betn received by you at your h .me. This has not been added. One was evidently mailed to you at Lexington from Irene ODly a distance of about three miles, and you say you never Dot got it. You told me repeatedly that you were satisfied that we had the required number and that the disp nsary would be voted out; but you told me of David's conduct at the death of his son. What a spectacle! Mourning the loss of a curse! Your choice, not mine. Just a short while before I had to leave Lexington you said you had agreed to hear arguments on both sides in your office at 9:i5on thi morning. I told you that we would no attend for such a purpose. That the petitie were all that you needed from us to guide you in your actions, and that if you did no act you would lose a fine opportunity of doing good at I saw it. The registration books are by law kept in the Clerk's office as you know. I did not regard your scheme safe for the petitioners. whose interest I was there to protect. It had the smell of an ancient royal ! chamber, where the voice of a free people could be easily stifled. Yoa asked Judge Gage for sn opinion a; to your duty in the matter. Did he tell you to regard every certificate shown to have been issue d on the registration books as representing separate persons when you know that many persons in the county are holding or have held two, three and more of those certificates? Did he tell you that it was no bus iness of yours to see whether these petitioners were aualfied votars' Did ha taII jonto withhold your knowledge of the registration of the county and throw suspicion on every man who signed the petitions as you have done in ytur letter? Did he teil you to say that no showing had been made to prove that the petitioners wtre qualified voters when you know that you have said you were satisfied that we had the required number of names? No, verily no. He gave you no such advice, and you know it. What I have written herein is not n?w to you, but anyone who may read your letter might suppose that you know nothing about these matters, as you utterly failed to point them out. I recognizi another hand with you under whose touch you are as plastic as the clay in the potter's hands. As you wanted a period of moqrning like David, I will give you till Thursday, December 7th, when I will meet you at the Clark's office (D. V.) at 10 o'clock a. m. and we will go over the registration books again. Daring this period of lamentation I will beg one favor of you. It is this: That you do not allow your royal highness to shut off any petitioners who may come in during this solemn period of grief. The 1.317 petitioners now before you regret to see you iu sack cloth and ashes, mourning the anticipated loss of a curse. But be it so. Your obedient servant, Joab Edwards. ! Leesville, S.

A TRULY IDEAL WIFE HER HUSBAND'S BEST HELPER Vigorous Health Is the Great Source of the Power to Inspire and Encourage ?All Women Should Seek It. One of the most noted, successful and richest men of this century, in a recent article, has said, 4* Whatever I am and whatever success I have attained in this world I owe all to my wife. From the day I first knew her she has been an inspiration, and the greatest helpmate of my life." To be such a successful wife, to retain the love and admiration of her husband, to inspire him to make the most of himself, should be a woman's constant study. If a woman finds that her energies are flagging, that she gets easily tired, dark shadows appear under her eyes, she has backache, headaches, bearingdown pains, nervousness, whites, irregularities or the blues, she should start at once to build up her system by a tonic with specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Following we publish by request a letter from a young wife: Dear Mrs. Pinknam: " Ever since my child was born I have suffered, as I hope few women ever have, with inflammation, female weakness, bearing-down pains, backache and wretched headaches. It affected my stomach so I could not enjoy my meals, and half my time was spent in bed. " Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made me a well woman, and I feel so grateful that I am glad to write and tell you of my marvelous recovery. It brought me health, new life and vitality-"?Mrs. Bessie Ainsley, 1 TA A/\TV*A "1*7" n UJL1 OVUtJLi 1ULU WJOICCW, xaLuiJia, naou. What Lydia E.
