Carlisle wa? easily elected over Dr. M. O. Howland as State Senator. *.. Tho election on tho qucstiou of "Dis pensary" or "No Dispensary," in New berry county, was held yesterday. The .dispensary lost by a vote of 2 to 1. The insurance companies are to pay $76,000 on tho policies of Hobt. Keith Dargan, of Darlington, this week. This fact, wo presumo, ought to satisfy everybody that Dargau is really dead. It is said a now dispensary scandal will likely bo developed from tho recent pur chaso of $.'18,000 worth of labels from a Cincinnati firm. It may tako that many to label tho officials after the committee complotes its work. V Thomas W. Hacot, of Charleston, who is a Democrat, will in all probability bo appointed to succeod Ernest V. Cochran, of Anderson, as Asaiatant District Attor ney. Mr. Bacot has been recommended by Col. John G. Capers. Tho dispensary investigation, it ia ?aid, will bo rigidly pushed through the ,great moral institution from the highest to the lowest official. This ?B one of : hone paradoxical instances where some of tho highost officials aoom to have been tho lowest. V Wo would Uko to know if Captain Wm. Kidd was a lineal descendant of His Honor, Sir William tho Goat? Will some 33d degree Mason please inform us?

"1 do not hesitate to sav," says Sona dor Tillman, "that I can find in tho Bible *i dozen or two doz.eu texts rooognizing the uso of liquor to whoro you can find one that discourages it or denounces it." Wu doubt not also that Senator Till man could (Iud a dozen mon in boll who recognized tho uso of liquor to ono who denounced it. Tho proportion may bo even greater. Wo have no dellnitu statistios on thu subject. Governor Hey ward Monday night ro ceived a inosKago from Sheriff Creech, of Harnwell, asking for a detail to guard a prisoner. It appeal s that several days ago a negro went into thu room of a young lady and he was arrested to-day on the charge. It is thought that tho negro entorod the house to steal, but chere was talk about lynching tho negro for entering the house of a young lady, and on that account thu guard was asked for.

Prosperous Sonoca Still Pushing to Front The Atlanta Constitution prints the following from a correspondent at Seneca: Along the wostern borders of the North and South Carolina line, tho back ground of which is ornamented by the rugged peaks of tho Blue Ridge aud em hellshed with cliffs, peaks and water falls, castles, villas and picturesque flower gardens, is to be found the ideal section of the South. Here the plains aud the mountains meet lo form a condi tion in climate and resources betweon tho extremes oxporionced iu the lowest aud highest altitudes, and one of these days tho section will be as much fre quented and adorned as the far-famed table lauds of England. Tho climate of the two places is similar. Southern peo ple have known of the attructious here for centuries; Northen, peoplo are just beginning to discover them and aro buy ing lauds and erecting homes aud devel oping fai ms on thom. Hotels are spring ing up to accommodate transient guests for summer and wiuter, dalry farms and vegotable gardens aro beiug developed e*cb year, and within a few years this industry alono will exceed in extent and profit the fruit industry of tho entire State of South Caroliua. Of course the most important industry of this section is textile manufacturing, but as other possibilities exist, I prefer to dwell upon these rather than upon facts already pretty well understood. Their aro numerous towns and vil lages of this section, gomo as old as the Revolutionary war, but young in energy, power and spirit; others not ovor ten years old with a population excoodiug 1,000 and bank deposits of over $100,000, with numerous other evidences of thrift and abundant prosperity. In passing one such town you may look from the car window and count four cotton mills, representing an investment of $300,000, in which more than 3,000 people aro em ployed. In or near the towns aro large dairy farms, some employing as many as 100 head of registered Jerseys, from whioh the annual sales of butter and milk exceed $25,000. The manure from these dairy farms keeps the lands fortile and large crops. As much as 40 bushels of corn and ono bale of cotton, to tho aero, aro harvested. Among the towns, which through its enterprise and pride may be singled out as quito representative of all other mu nicipalities of this section, Soneca, which contains two tl rsi class hotels, two banks, an oil mill, cotton factory and thirty moroautile establishments, may bo men tioned. Seneca is a beautiful little city-cheer ful, thriving and thoroughly alive. It is not often that one sees a place that com mends itself so favorably aud pleasantly to a strangor at first glance as this does, with itu clean homes of white and gray, its cleanly streets and paved sidewalks of bright tilo. Tho streets are broad and freo of trash, and the stores extremely woll kept, tho private homos and chin chen remarkable for their neatness and style. Tho inventiveness and happy fancy worked out in the varying styles of these structures is indicitive of the talent and taste that formed the town of Soneca and of the people who inhabit it to-day. And tho disposition to ornament and beautify these villages and make them attractive loads to tho culture of trees and tlowors, and tho laying out of well kept gardons, tho sight of whioh to those, passing on tho trains or walking tho StrOOtS is inexpressibly refreshing aud agreeable lu all of the means of rendering towns attractive Seneca's work has boon limited only in the amount of money necessary to extend it aud de velop it to tho fullest extent, which it is the hope of the peoplo to do at the earliest possihlo moment. Tho dovolopmont of tho commercial, manufacturing and banking interests of Seneca has boou always encouraging. The people wclaomo Itho boom periods, believing them necessary to onlist the activo support and assistance of somo pooplo who can be secured in no other way. Hut Seuoca has never boen hurt hy a boom, if, indeed, any town has: it usually occurring that not tho town, but only a few of the people aro the los?is by tho Ituotuation of values. If what in meant by a boom is that there is much building and rapid changes of real enlato holdings, then Seneca is on a boom to-day, for within the last fow weeks tho Citizens' Hank has completed a most substantial and costly brick home, trimmed in stone, with a fine opera house overhead, seating.MK) people or moro. Tho (bonce Inn is also a new three story brick building, which contains 50 sleeping rooms, an offloo, dining room, dance hall, three large parlors and about 1,000 square feet of veranda space. Heal estate transfers are almost of daily occurrence, both in tho town and coun try. HANK 8? AT K MK NTS. Some idea of tho volume of business of the town, which supports this build ing boom and real estate buying, may bo gained from a perusal of tho statements of the hanks, issued .Juno 80, 1005. The statement of tho Citizens' Hank was as follows : IIKSOUIIOKS, Loans and discounts. 46,780 30 Hanking house and fixtures... 18,758 NO (.'ash and exchange. 48,070 71 Supplies on hand. 588 SO Expenses. 2,118 00 Tidal.$112,111 85 ll Allll II IKS.
