The Planters Storage Company of

Cotton Oil Company and will add
three new gins and a double press,
and will otherwise improve the establishment,
making it first class in
every respect. Mr. W. J. Stribling
of Anderson, who has had the management
heretofore has been retained
as manager. The capacity of the
improved plant will be about one
hundred bales per day.

Major and Misses Isabel Brooker of
Swansea, Lucy Littlejohn of Pacolet,
Cora Belle Rogers of Bennettsville,

former have taught there during pre

The Brica Law Explained.
The dispensary law of 1896 contains
a provision by which a majority of
the voters of the township may prevent
the establishment of a dispensary
in the township. One of the
authors of that law assures me that
it was their intention (and they
thought they had it so expressed in
that Act) that the provision by which t
the voters of the township might
secure the removal ot a dispensary
whenever desired was also embraced
in the law. When the supreme court
construed the Act, it held that there
was no provision in it by which a dispensary
could be removed. Thus the
matter stood until 1904 when the Brice
law was passed amending the dispensary
Act of 1896 and providing for a
removal of a dispensary by popular
vote of the county. This Brice law
then only amends the dispensary Act
of 1896 and supplies the very provision
which was intended by the authors of
i-l -1* 1 - -C -4 OAA 1 i.
tne dispensary law 01 io?o, uui wiixeu
the court found had been omitted, the
Brice law using the county as the
unit of power where the Act of 1896
used the township as such unit of
power. Mr. C. M. Efird, one of the
authors of the dispensary Act of 1896,
has told me that he, Atty. Gen. Barber
and John Gary Evans are the
authors of this dispensary law of 1896,
and that he was profoundly surprised
at the construction put upon that act
by the supreme court.
Now when the Brice bill had passed
the senate in 1904 and was sent to the
house of representatives it was referred
to the dispensary committee of
the house, presided over by Mr. W.
O. Tatum,: who is now dispensary
commissioner of the State. He had
been elected to this position before
his committee took the Brice bill under
consideration. Mr. Tatum's committee
reported the bill favorably to
the house and recommended its passage
with such amendments as his
committee had put upon the bill.
Thus amended and thus reported the
bill passed and became law.
The fundamental principle in the
law is the right given to the people
to establish or remove dispensaries
according to the popular will on the
subject. The details of the law by
which this fundamental principle can
be applied are non-essentials, and can
easily be amended or adjusted to suit
local conditions and be responsive to
the highest and best interests of the
i-i* l mi 3 i. J. ?
puDiic weiiare. ?ne araenomeni 10
$he dispensary Act known as the
Brice law is therefore, not only not
antagonistic to that law, but it is
suplimentary to it. Indeed, as I see
it, this Brice amendment rounds out
the provisions of the dispensary law
and is the best guarantee of the faithful
and honest administration of the
dispensary law. It tends to protect
against improper methods in the dispensary
management, and is a constant
menace to the evils of graft and
a weapon with which the public may
scourge evil doers whenever and
wherever discovered in the management
of any of the departments of
the dispensary. It can be used only
when occasion demands, and when
not used, does no harm whatever to
xt T i. j u

the duties of those in charge of this
large and increasing State business.
The above are some of the reasons
why I think the Brice law ought not
to be repealed.

Death of Mr. Rion T. Graham
It is not only sad, bnt hard to actually
realize that this young man
full of life and vigor is dead. About
three weeks ago he left here to accept
a lucrative position as lineman with
the Bell Telephone company at Statesville.
N. C., but like the sweet flowers
that bloom with all their fragrance
they must fade, wither and die, so it
is with humanity. In the prime of
life, full of promise and a pride of
home and friends Rion has passed
away. Truly in the midst of life we
are in death, "and we know not when
the hour cometh."
Rion was about 21 years of age and
was an industrious young man and
had a desire to accumulate something
for himself. He was popular and as
a friend he was faithful and true,
courteous and kind to everybody and
devoted to his folks at home. But
he is no more. He was suddenly
taken sick away from home, his
mother by his bed side, his father
arriving too late. All that possibly
could be done by tender hands and
friends was rendered, but alas, Saturday
afternoon about 4 o'clock scorching
fever and jaundice proved too
much, when the summons came, and
now his hpdy rests in a cold grave in
the Catholic cemetery in Columbia.
The interment took place Monday at
11 a. m., Rev. B. W. Fleming officiating.
Messrs. Edward Barre, Ed. G.
Dreher, Karl Oswald, Samuel Bickley,
Oscar Derrick, Heber Barre and Carl
Roof, of Lexington, and Porter Caughman,
of Columbia, were the pall bearers.
A number of friends from this place
and Columbia attended the funeral.
Col. Graham and his family have
the sympathy of our citizens in their
sad and sore bereavement and they
mingle tears of regret with them.

next day. Murray came down and
gave up to Sheriff Corley, and he now

No matter what Mr. Manning's political
platform is or might be there
is no man in the State, in our judgment,
who is his superior in the purity
of his public and private life; no man
who places the general good above
all party or personal conditions more

sincerely than he; no one who acts
according to his honest convictions
regardless of personal, political fortunes
so invariably; whose word is
more sincere or in whom more confidence
can be placed at all times. He
is a man of large public experience,
always striving for what he believes
to be the best interests of the greatest
number. We have nothing to say
against the character of his opponent,
but we do not believe he measures up
at all in statesmanship with Manning.
The legislature will make or unmake
the dispensary?not the governor.
Hence, all things considered, the people
of the State ought not to hesitate
to make a choice of a man like Manning.
They know him, having tried
him. Ansel is more like an experiment.
To be secure and certain of
the future Manning is the man to vote
for in the second primary.?Columbia

To the Voters of Lexington County:
I take this method through the
columns of your paper to express my
sincere thanks to the voters of my
county for the handsome vote they
gave me for Auditor in the primary of
August 28th. I appreciate very much ,
this mark of confidence in my ability
in receiving so flattering a vote and
hope for a continuance of same on
the 11th instant, assuring my fellow
voters that if I am elected that my
great aim will be to conduct the .
duties of the office in such a manner
as to prove myself worthy of the
merit of confidence reposed in me by
i my fellow voters.
