We publisn elsewhere in this issue
ft card from Messrs Edwards and
Quattlebaum relative to the dispensary
matter. It seems that these
gentlemen desire to take issue with a
view recently advanced by this paper,
; to wit: That there ought to be a
special box at every pole in which
the voters could express themselves
on this much mooted question. We
have no obj*ctioa to these gentlemen
getting their election nnder the Brice
law, if they can, as that has nothing
to do with the idea advanced by us.
It seems that they can't secure?
certainly they have not secured an
election on this question under the
Brice law cr otherwise. What we
propose is that we have one anyway,
so those who are tlected to represent
us in the legislature next year will
know exactly where the people of
this county stand
Is there any objection to this? We
can see none. It would cost us nothing
and at the same time supply us
with a very valuable piece of information,
such as we are in doubt about
now. We bear it said by some that
the county favors the dispensary, and
by others that it does not. Which is
- rr
correct? We do cot know. how |
can we kDow until we get the facts j
and figures? For that very reason
we offer this solution jast now.
Another reason for advancing this
idea is this: While the liquor question
is one of vast importance, we
realize that there are other matters
to ft quire the attention of legislators
gj that are likewise important. We,
therefore, want legislators with other
qa&lifications than that of beiDg able
to cast his vote for or against the
dispensary. Most anybody could do
that. We would like to see this
matter settled away from the fight
for legislative honors, but pledge all
the candidates to abide the result of
the vote so had. Then we can look
for the best material, feeling sure at
the same time, that we will have as
our legislators those who will vote
for, or against, the dispensary as toe
sovereign voters shall declare. Would
not that reach the result desired by
both sides? We think so?for the
reasons already advanced.
What we have said with respect to
this county might be well applied to
the whole state. We can see to objection
to that, but we ere primarially
concerned with the interests of this
county.
Now, we do not wis.h it understood
that we oppote our friends in their
efforts to get an election uncer the
Brice law. Their effort now seems
to be in statu quo, and we do not
know the reason why, therefore, we
think the next mode to settle this
matter peaceably and quietly is in
tue primary.
The Dispatch seeks nothing save
the good o* the county.
Mr. James U. Jackson, the head of
the proposed electric line cf railroad
from Columbia to Augusta was in
town last Saturday. He holds cut
strong assurances that the line will
w
be bailt, if no obstacles are thrown
in the way by the people along the
route.
"Significant statements were made
last night by James U Jackson in
regard to the extension of the Augusta
Aiken lice to Columbia, says
the Augusta Herald:
The chief engineer has about completed
the main survey. Facts,
figures?all possible data?are being
closed up. Mr. Jackson, equipped
therewith, is packing his grip to
hurry to New York for final conference
with the railroad people. The
preliminary work is not only well
under way, but orders have been
given to get in readiness to push the
extension to completion."

We notice a number of our contemporaries
virtually placing in nomination
candidates for various State
offices, and are liberal enough to

we suppose, then when citizens of
their own county chooses to offer for
a county office they are required to
pay an announcement fee. Is it right
thus to discriminate against your own
heme candidate?? This is legitemate
work for the Dewspeper and a part
of our 4'meat and bread," and should
all be charge and paid for. Let every
candidate, large or small, be treated
fairly. Many of these candidates
meet you, appearantly kind and as
courteous as dancing masters uDtil
the elections are ever with, then they
pass you as if you were a post and
they as blind as bats.
The Dispatch wants it distinctly
understood it champions no candidate's
cause and every inch of space
in their behalf must be paid for,
while it will always be our purpose
to make the campaign pleasant for
all candidate?, and to see that every
one shall have a fr6e, open race,
standing on his owd merits. We, cf
course, have friend3 to award, but
will do so in a proper way outside c f
our columns. We make this declaration
prior to the opening of the campaign
that all may "take due notice
and govern themselves accordingly."
It is said the delay in the mail
service on the C N & L road is
caused by the road's not providing
a mail car, no contract having been
nude by the government for said
service The government has orderc-d
the service and as soon as conveni nfc
and the car secured the mails will go
out. Mr. L'-ver is also looking after
the mails going out from Columbia
to Augusta, on the evening train*.
We shouid 'have these mails by a 1
means.
The la'esfc concerning the trollev
lice is that general manager Jas. U.
Jackson is working under contractor
Twiggs a large force of men night
and day cn the Augusta end preparing
for the Columbia extension. It
is his intention to run a schedule
froca Columbia to Batesburg and return
every hour, which means untold
convenience for our people and
great additional business for Columbia.

. ?St.
Stephen's Easter Service.
R6V J. G. Grachier delivered a
very interesting and appropriate
sermon in St. Stephen's church last

verse of Revelations.
At that meet eleven additions were
had to the church, three of whom
came by letter. The following is a

Paul, Columbia; Mr. Jesse McCartba,

Communion was administered to a
very large number of members immediately
after the sermon.
