ELECTED TO OFFICE BY THE PRIMARY in Orangeburg County, Where Men and Not Pleasures Were Consider* ed by the Voters. Now that the political atmosphere of this county has been cleared and all results declared,, it might he in teresting to note the conditions brought about by the recent primar ies and refer briefly to the nominees for the various oflices. says the Or angeiiurg correspondent of The News and Courier: Contrary to expectations. the liquor question was not made an issue in the compafgn. Some months ago, particularly during the contro versy between certain parties at Elloree and the local dispensary board over the opening of a dispen sary in that town, several leading prohibitionists of the county stated that the next candidates who offer ed themselves for the legislature would be required to plainly state their, positions on the whiskey ques tion and it was hinted that those who failed to espouse the cause of prolu'bition would have to (kiss over h rough and rugged road in order :r> realize their ambition. But the Mdicipated movement on the par! of the anti-liquor forces did not mate rialize, due. probably to the absence of their recognized .lead er, the Rev. Mr! Brunson. for merly of Elloree. but recently remov ed to Battle Creek. Mich. The re sults show thai the people voted for men rather than measures. Good men were elected others whose quali ties were not inferior to those of the successful' ones, were defeated. The Hon. Robert Lide, who was nominated for State senator without opposition, is a prominent, member of the local bar. being of the firm of .Moss & Lide. He has nad experi ence as a law-maker, having been a mem tier of the house several years ago. ATr.. Lide has been county chair man for a number of years, which position; lie wflT continue to hold. Mr: John S. Bowman, Jr., who will be the chairman of the Orange burg delegation, by virtue of having re ceived the largest vote, is a promising young attorney of this cft.y, who has never before held a public office. Mr. A. J. Hydrick. Jr.. the only member of the present delegation to offer for re-election, is also a mem ber of the Orangeburg bar and re ceived a splendid endorsement at the polls.. Col. BasconT A. Shatter hails from the progressive town of Elloree. where, for the past 12 years, he has served as intendent. His election as a member of the legislature is a de served tribute to his worth as a citizen Mr. Thomas P. H?rger, who won out in the second primary over Mr. Miles O'Rfley. resides at Jamison, und is well known throughout the county as a substantial farmer and business mau. H is a fact worthy of note that these two gentlemen were the only uncompromising prohibition candidates fn the race. So the dele gation, including the senator, is com posed of four who are in favor of the present liquor law. mil are will ing to have the question submitted to the people, and one straighout prohibitionist. Tit opposition to the present lien law the delegation is a unit. The contest which overshadowed all others In this county was that for the office of sheriff, the incum bent, the Hon. .lohn H. Dukes, and Mr. A. M. Saflcy being the contest ants. Mr. Sallcy, who held this office for 11' years previous to 1892, was successful. Sixteen years ago Sheriff Duke defeated Sheriff-elect Salley for the same office, which he has held continuously since. These two gentlemen represent the very high est type of citizenshiii and the only reason t|ja| ca? |K. ;issj..m.,| r0|. change is that one received more rotes than the other. Sheriff Dukes has been an excel lent official, rendering prompt and rjfllcienl service during his four suc cessive terms of office. No man com mands more respect and veneration than he, and when lie retires ii will be with the consciousness of having performed faithfully every duty. Mr. P. J. I). Felder, who was elect ed county supervisor, is well qualifi ed for this position. Having filled this office in the past with general satis fact ion. Mr. Lucius W. Livingston, who was selected by the voters, over three competitors, to serve the county as superintendent of education, is ;i young man of marked ability, A readier by profession, he is not un familiar with the duties of the office to which he has been elected. Clerk of Court (I. L. Salley. Treas urer A. D. Fair. Auditor T. M. Mi Michael. Coroner F. N. Rickenbaker and .Magistrate C. P. Brunsen were re-elected without opposition and continue to render the best service of which they are capable. Dentil of a Good Man. Mr. William S. Ash of the Fork quietly passed away at his residence on Sunday nighi Sept. Kith. He was scventy-eighf years old. He was a member Of Bethlehem Methodist church for a number of years. A large circle of relatives and friends are left to mourn his death. His re mains were laid to rest in Bethlehem Cemetery on Monday afternoon in the presence of a large concourse of relatives and friends. You still have time to try the free samples of Globe ionic. You can hear many words in praise of Globe Tonic. Ask your neighbor about it. CAMPAIGN FUNDS The Members of Several Democratic (.Tubs Help the Cause.
