Possibly ho will claim that the people really knew that he wanted them to voto out the dispensary. Anyway, whether lie or anybody else wanted them to they have done it. There is some suspicion that they did just what they had a mind to do for themselves and according to their persuasions o? what was best for their own interests. The people of South Carolina aro rather an inde pendent sort at times. Tho interesting test, it seems to us, will be not BO much how tho dry counties fare under the conditions their people have decreed as how the dispensary will get along with a large part of its business cut out. If this thing keeps up one-half the counties of thc State will soon be off thc list of patrons of tile dispensary and how then can the great moral institution bo made to produce a revenue worth while?-Charleston J'oat.

This soon impoverishes the blood and in stead of throwing oft the im purities, distributes it all through the body. This brings disease and misery. Feed the nerves with Dr. Miles' Nervine, a nerve food, a nerve medicine, that nourishes and strengthens the nerves, and see how quickly you will get strong and vigorous. "My wife suffered with nervousness previous to n recent attack of typhoid fever, but after her recovery from tho fever, sho was much worse, ami could hardly control herself being exceed ingly nervous when tho least excited. Sho was very restless nt night, nnd never had a good night's rest. Sho also suffered much from nervous head ache. Dr. Miles' Nervino was recom mended by a friend.

It seems entirely probable now . that within twelve months the whis key traffic will be banished from two j thirds of the territory of the State, and, so far the people of the re cently wade prohibition counties have exhibited an intensu earnest ness in enforcing the prohibition laws. Unloss the people are determined to have prohibition, that is, to en force the law against illicit sales with the diligence and vigilance ?vidi which the Cherokee people, for in stance, are enforcing it, 'il will he best thai they do not vote out the dispensaries. The abolishing of the traillo is in ! itself a matter of no special siguin canoe. If the people of any town and of any county have made up their minds that liquor shall not be sold within their borders, liquor will not be sold to any greatly injurious or demoralizing extent, but if a nominal prohibition is introduced, with nobody at work to make it effective, the general result will bc disastroiiH in every way.-News and Courier. OABTOZIXA. Be?n th? TIM Kind You Haw Always Bought Ten Boys Held tor Eavesdropping. A Spencer, N. C., special to the Charlotte Observer says : Ten young men of this place were taken into custody recently by Esquire W. D. Pethcl, on thu charge of trespassing in and upon a hall in which thc Masonic fraternity was holding a meeting. The meeting was dis turbed and broken up by the young sters, who are suspected of eaves dropping thc Masons while in secret session. The boys climbed a ladder to a garret and crept to a ventilator in the room, from which the proceed ings of the lodge could bc heard. Thc boys were held under thc charge of simple trespass, but, if the more serious charge of eavesdropping is pushed the result will be quite dif ferent, it being a crime to interfere with a Masonic, meeting. The young sters range from fourteen to twenty years of agc and arc of some of thc best known families in Spencer. Thc members of thc Masonic fra ternity here are considerably stirred up over thc possibility of somo of their secrets being stolen and th? meeting broke up. The case, being an unusual one, its results will be watched with interest. Wonderful Financing.

[Orangeburg Times-Democrat.] Ooe of the hottest political cam paigns South Carolina has ever had will be fought out next summer over the dispensary in the Democratic primary. If we lived in a county that had voted out the dispensary, we would do all wo could to enforce prohibi tion. It is the duty of ovory citizen to do what, he can to enforce all laws whether he likes them or not. No man will be elected to the Legislature next year whoso position on the dispensary question is not well defined. All candidates will have to take a stand for or against the institution. No milk and water man will be allowed to slip in. Those newspapers and people who think that the dispensary is dead are deluding themselves. We predict that it will be the main question in the Democratic primary next year, and it will be a red hot one, too. It is to bo regretted that tho peo ple do not vote moro generally on the dispensary question, lu no county where an election has been held has a majority of the white voters voted. The whiskey question will have to be settled at last in the Democratic primary, where all tho white people will have a vote. Marion county has voted out the dispensary by a large majority of those who voted, but tho vote did not amount to one half of thc Demo cratic vote in the county. In the last Democratic primary the vote was over 8,200, while the vote on the dispensary question was 1,480. This leaves about 1,800 white voters in the county who have not expressed an opinion one way or the other. They will be heard from in tho Democratic primary next summer.
