Tho election in Ocoueo yesterday on tho question of dispensary or no dispensary resulted, so far as heard from, in an overwhelming vote in favor of abolishing tho great moral institution in this county. There was no marked interest in the election and a light vote was jjollod. Not all of the boxes have been brought in as yet and thc figures given below, while practically official, aro not given as absolutely correct. When tho offioiat result is declared, however, the variation, if any, will not amount to more than a half lo/.en votes one way or the other. They show conclusively thc trend of sentiment throughout the county : No Dis- Dispcn pensnry. Bary. Walhalla. '.?7 lil Westminster. 02 9 rWnocn.i-?3 "?7 Wes!

Mr. Zimmerman, a former clerk in tho i tate Treasurer's office in Columbia, is charged with stealing $12,600 worth of State bonds from the ollico. The authorities have arrested four ne* groes ( lunged with the murder of Julian Wilson, near KingStroo, and have tho SllSpOCtcd parties in jail at Kingstree. When President lloosovelt met Mrs Jackson in Charlotte recently bo ex claimed, "What! tho widow of tho great .Sfwiowall Jackson! it is worth tho wV.ok ...ip to shake your hand." Tho you,ig man Cunliffe, who stole $101,000 from tho Adams ?spross Com pany in Pittsburg, l'a., has been arrested by Piokorton detectives in Bridgeport, ?Conn., and $80,000 of the money was re covered. Tho Presbyterian Synod of South Ca? rolina, which was in annual session last week at Kock Hill, adjourned last Fri day night to meet next year at Laurens. The mcoting was largely al tended and tvas of groat Interest to tho Prosbytei lan people Th? Presidential Journey. [News and Courier, October 83d.] As is uot infrequently their wout, the Sont hern peuple ai o giving full sway to their impulses in tho cordiality of their welcome to Pr?sident Roosevelt. Iiis tup from Washington to Jacksonville has given occasion for a successiou of ovations which could scarcely have boon equal ted i ami certainly oould not have been excelled, in enthusiasm, in any other scctioo of the country. Aud it should be said, too, that if tho hosts of the occasion havo given themselves over toa veiitable riot of personal and patri otic fervor, their guest has eutorod into tho spirit of their ecatacy with a readi ness and an abandon which has balked at nothing which promised to promote the continuance of the revel. At Haleigh, so a corespondent of tho Baltimore Sun informs us, President Roosevelt assured certain gentlemen that be was as ardently opposed to social equality and intermarriage of the races as any Southern white man could be; nt Kichmond ami (mailotto ho stood beforo Confederate monuments and proudly proclaimed the pride willoh ho took in tho men in whoso honor tho., wero erected; to the neighbors of his mother in her girlhood ho recounted thu deeds of his kinsmen who served under the Stars and Pars and asserted his fellow ship with the mon who honored them and their cause. In a moro serious vein, during tho course of his set speeches, ho has dealt with national problems with which bis auditors wore mostly intimately con cerned and for vastly tho most part he has professed to seo them from a view point which is vastly popular in tho South, lt is not too much to say that the President's tour of the South bas resolved itself into an apparently uuad joumable meeting of a mutual admira tion society, of which he and his hosts are tho members, and the competition between thom as to which shall express tho most cordial liking and esteem for the other grows constantly keener as it is continued with tho progress of tho Journey. In Atlanta tho President dwelt upon the menace contained in the rapid growth of individual wealth. Ile do-1 dared the Federal regulation of corpora tions an inevitable necessity of tho fu ture, and he sought at some length to justify the faith that was in him. Put he warned his hearers that industry ami enterprise must not bo impelled by tho imposition upon thom of a restraint and control which would hamper or retard them. His referenco to tho lifo insur ance scandals was somawhal vague in terms, but it was snlliciontly specific in intention to satisfy those who reprehend tho abuses uncovered by the Armstrong committee that he is with thom in pur pose. Realizing tho shock that had been administered by theso things to tho pub lic OOnsoienoe, bo declared that public opinion must bo looked to to redress its own wrongs by outlawing tho men and measures reprehended. Ho dwelt upon the South's concern in ber groat staple production, and promised to seek to ro movo causes which appeared to monaco its best interests. Tho boycott in China being ono of these, bo discussed ways and means of an equitable adjustment of that situation. This is quite an imposing list of impor tant subjects to be discussed in the space of a single brief address, but Pl'OSidout itoosovolt accomplished the task in a manner that was always interesting. And so his triumphal progress pro coeds, between felicitations of his hosts upon their marvellous achieve ments in the past and thc present, and prognost ?cat?ons concerning t he yet more marvellous things that they, in common with their rc united count ry men, will ac complish in the future, thc stages of thc Presidential journey aro proving ono continuous round of pleasure and edifi cation. Neither party to this delightful re union of hearts and mind has as yot given any sign of exhaustion. The wave of good fellowship constantly rises higher and higher. If there was more popular ecstacy in Atlanta than there was at Heleigh, so was there moro rein given to President Roosevelt's individual and official confidences. To what point it will all come ? hon high tide is reached at New (lilians it is needless to inquire. Ono may only say that suffioiont unto each day have been the delights thereof so far, and permit, tho morrow to fashion for us what new joys it may. The constitutionality of the Price Law bas been attacked in the F?deral Court. Judge Pritchard has been asked fora mandamus requiring the board of con trol of Union county to restoro to J. G. Howell his office as dispenser and ie open t he dispensary. Judge Pl'itohnrd issued an order to show cans??, returnable bo fore him on October :!lst. Tho dispensary at St. Stephen's has been closed. Inspector Floyd checked up tho books and found the dispenser $406.08 short. Tho dispenser, H. II. Lorenz, says ho may be a litt lo short, but bo denies those ligures. The county board has met and elected his suc cessor. The present dispenser is under a >::,tXMi bond from a reliable guarantoo company and the State will lose nothing. A shortage has been found in tho office of State Treasurer in Columbia, tho sum of $12,500 in bonds having boon abstracted between tho years of 1801 and 1001, With interest tho amount is ?10,.Min. Daniel /.immerman, who was bond clerk in the Treasurer's Office dur ing that period, has been arrested charged with the crime. Ho has given bond in tho sum of ?17,000 for his appearance nt court.

Tug lion, October 24.- We have had a most propitious fall.

There was, as usual, a large congrega tion at South Union OU Sunday. Hov. S. A. McDaniel prevailed on that venerable man of Cod, Kev. J. K. Karlo, to preach in his stead, and it was tho decided impression of every ono present that the Kev. .J. K. Karlo preached ono of tho most earnest, effective sonnons that any of them over hoard. His subject was "Church Fellowship." Wc don't believe there was a Bingle person in tho congr? gation but what was benefited. There was a collection raised by tho Sunday school ami ladies1 missionary so ciety for tho Connie Maxwell Orphanage amounting to between $30 and $40. Well today is tho day to seo if wo want more orphans. If wo do, vote for thc dispensary. May tho good Lord help us to kill it dead, dead. On next Sunday tho Kev. S. A. Mc Daniel will preach (D. V.) a special ser mon to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows at South Union. Of course everybody will bo welcome. The last all day singing for tho season will he at South Union on tho first Sun day in November. Everybody como, and please don't forgot that proverbial well tilled basket. 1'umpions, persimmons, potatoes, pork and 'possums are ripo. Congratulations for tho junior. !.. A Judicious Inquiry. A well known traveling man who visits the drug trade says be has often heard druggists inquire of customers who asked for a 00Ugh medicine, whether it was wanted for a child or for an adult, and if for a child they almost invari ably recommend Chamberlain's cough Remedy The reason for this is that they know there is no danger from it and that it always enies. There is not tho least danger in giving it, and for coughs, colds and croup it is unsurpassed. For sale by J. W. Holl, Walhalla, and W. J. Lunney, Seneca. Our Governor in Atlanta. Atlanta, October 21.-This morning < ?overnor Hoy ward paid a somi-offloial and porsonal visit to Governor Terrell at tho state House. Governor Hoyward, among other things, discussed the recent Act of tho Georgia General Assembly as to the boundary between Georgia and .South Carolina. Tho question appears to have arisen with regard to thc possi hie uso of certain water powers in tho Piedmont sectiou between Oconeo and Ilahcrsham counties. Thcro does not appear to bo any merit in tho Georgia contention, and Governor Terrell has tentatively abandoned the possible claim of (fcorgia as to either the Tugaloo or Keoweo rivers, and tho contention of South Carolina seems all right. Govornor Terrell had the situation in vestigated, and the tentative (minion rondored him was: "I am, therefore of tho opinion that originally the Keoweo and not the Tugaloo river was tho boun dary above thc continence forming thc Savannah river, but by tho treaty of Beaufort and Goorgia's long acquiescence therein she is bound hy thu agreement therein made, and that under that agree ment t he Tugaloo ri vcr is tho boundary and tho thread of the stream is tho di viding linc." Govornor Hoyward'a advice was along tho same line and this about settles tho matter. There is quito a strong personal re gard between the two Govornors, and Governor I ley wald's trip has practically settled the possible dispute. Dispensary Elcct'on In Saluda County.

All Liquor May bo Soized. Columbia, October 21.-Assistant At-! torney General Vounians rendered an important opinion to tho Law nnd Order League at Prosperity, in which ho holds that liquor shipped toto this state may, bo soized under tho storing^and keeping in possession clause of the ?diapousary law, though it is for porsonal uso, aud regardless of how small tho quautity.
