'lhe i li. of non signers cont.bned 71 whites and 2 colored. The bo,rd refused to appoint J!"Illgstoln on account of not having a inajority of freehold voters as signers and it was so recorded by t hil r secre ary in their iinute,;. Last F'riday, Septenier Ist Instant, the enclosed printel call wi itten by the county chairman, 11. E_.

Gray, chairman, sou.lded the keynote when he said in his call: "Every citi zen of this incorporation should be en franchised oii a question where he is so much interested."

'.'our '-I questions in regard to the legal status of the newly enfranchised citizens Is FEARFUL ON THE ISLANDS. Frf a a Most Truntworthy, Sotree-iFirnt Iteport In a 'veek. Jorluin A, S. C., Sept. II.-ip to late the only accurate report that the outside world has obtaineti of the real condition of affairs on the sea islands of Sotth Carolina was from Dr. Bab cock upon his return from the islands. It has been some time since that report came. Since then there has been noth ing further to indicate the horrible con dition of the people and the country, but The State is enabled today to give a most graphic and complete report, of this character, which comes from per haps as reliablo and well-posted a mait as there is in the State, a man thoroughly intimate with the territory, which he describes. This report is in the shape of a personal let ter received yesterday by Col. .Joseph Daniel Pope from a rel ttive, Dr. )an tel 'r. Pope. Col. Pope kiidly sends a c py of the letter to The State, saying that "it gives a better account than anything I have seen from l'-iisto, and it will be read with interest Iv many friends throughout the State." hIere is the letter: EI)IsTo ISLAND, Sept. '., 1893. I got back hono a lew days ago. I started from Saluda just as soon as communication was open to the island. I wanted very much to stop one night with youl il Columbi, bit as I could not hear from home I was anxious to get throutgh. When I reached home I found the account of the( disaster on our coast. was not at all exaggerated. Wherever the eye turned there was nothing but riin and dlevastation, the crois hopelessly d'st royi d. My hotist was tinroofted, the tin stripped ofl' the whole of the back anId se-vera Iarg! trees in the yardl blown down. Mylawn looks as if a lire had passed over the trees, not a green leaf on many. My crop, I fear, will be a total losi. 'The cotton has been stripped of nearly all the fruit except the very oldest, on the stalk,and my corn blown down lat to the grotand, and touch of it in water. it has been raining incessant ly ever since the storm, so I am told; and since my return it has rained every day, and sometimes all day--what the ip coui try farmers call "root soakers." It came town in torrents, so that I fear what little of the crops remaiing in the field will be lost or hadlv damaged. The outlook is worse than when we caine hack after the war, for at, that, time the people were encouraged by the high price of cotton and everybody could get what credit, he nee ld in t Ie way of supplies; but now I see nothiing ahead staring tus in the face, for the colored population, but starvation. I fear many of the whites are in the same fix; some have saved nothinlg bit the clothes on their hacks. It, is goingr to be a serious thing to know how we are goiUg to feed these people without, bringng additional trouble here. since, if the negroes are fed they will not work any more; so that if there not he a very judicious distribution of the charity, more harm may be done than good. Many are now looking to the government to come to their rescue. They have been the "government's wards" so long that they look upon it as a certainty, an(d are not disposed to go after work to better their condition. The whites will not be able to give much, it any help, in the way of' work for they are not able to (to so. Then, their situation cannot be hettered untit another crop is idtle and it will be at least nine tmonths before any material help from their own ellorts cai be re alized in the way ofh a crop. .-list, as soon now as t he gleanings which they are getting from the fields are exthusit ed they must be recipients of charity. I have never seen such dt'vast at ion. The storms of Pi51 although it lasted t,wo or three (lays can't be conu paired I a it. My losses I can't.heg in to e'sitimate. hlow nmuchi I wi'll reah/,.o I tear to say, but when I loiok around and1( see others so muich worse thian I am, I tenn oinly say thank God that I have somethin'g lef t. 1 even lost mny last year's corn. TIhe storm dirove the rain~ so violently under the shingles that t.he corii was thoroughly wet and it heated and rotted. After I got home, I had it. im mediately hauled away and dumnped ini to the lot I have for hogs. 5 1 that has to hb' replaced for m y stock. TIhe whotle country smiells so hatd t h at.

The ir regubarity of the action of the County IHoard arose from not having the peti tion on tile ten (lays required by laff. We will not lend ourselvesto anything that is unlawful in establishing a )is pensary at Laurens, though we know that a Dispensary is the safest and cheapest renedly against blind tigers, and that he State constables cannot be paid except from the rovenue derived from )ispensaries. I will onIly endeavor to enforce the lispensary law where )ispensaries do not, exist until the Legislature meets, anid t lhen ask that the prohibition coun ties which object to )ispensary shisil suipport the cons',ables by taxation. If you are a friend to the Dispensary law you will not lend your influence to our enemies and the enemies of prohibition to prevent the est ,blishment of at leaqt one Di)spensary for each county. I hope you understand by this time that tie struggle is not one between prohibi tion and the )ispensfry, but a struggle between the )ispensary and t.he license system, whicli we have just, over thrown. I shall write to the chairman of the County Hoard that his board must. comply with the terms (it the )is pensirv law before a )ispensary can be established in-Laurens. Yours respectfully, %,. T11.TILML A N, Governor. (Iovernor Tiliman has written Coin ty Chairman Gray informing him that the action of the Laurens County loard of Control ill appoint,ing a Dispenser at, L-atrens was nill;t arid void, because the pi'tit.ion had not, been oi file the ten (lays require,l by law ibefore action can he taken. The error of the Laurens ioard arose from a misconception of the law. The pet it ion h;iadt been on file for a couple (4 inontis before the board acted; .hoigh nolt, for ten days with the fll f nmim r of signat,ures rtulired by law. Nilting Rut Talk.
