The Dispensary.
In -nother column is printed a
call to the voters of this county to
assemble in the court house on Sat
urday of this week to consider the
question of getting up petitions to
order an election on tihe question of P
voting the dispensary out of the
county. The Herald News stated in
Friday's issue that the meeting would
be held. This call is not signed by
any one, and it is the purpose, as we
understand it, to make it a mass meet
ing and allow every one who so de
sires to be present' That is very good.
The Herald News stated a few days
ago that it believed public sentiment
in favor of voting out the dispensary
was stronger in this county today
than it bad been. We still hold that
view. We also stated that it was our
desire., that if an -election was to be
held that it be held this year when the
people could vote on the issue with
out the personality of candidates for
the various positions to be filled.
That we wanted to see the question
presented fairly and squarely to the
people and without passion or
predjudice.
To those who hold that liquor is an
evil in -ny and eve'ry form it will be r
easy to decide. In fact their minds i
are already made tip. They also be- e
lieve that the evils of~ intemperance ;
can also be removed by prohibitory t
laws and that by statute you can N
make people temperate and reduce
The consumption of whiskey. In- c
'temperance is an evil. If you beleive r
that prohibitory laws will minimize t
that evil then you should be on the N
side of prohibition. If you do not r
believe so. then the question arises, r
what is the best mode of dealing with I
the evil. Would the closing of the t
-dispensary reduce the sale and use t
of whiskey to any considerable de
1gree. Would it not be an invitation T
to the blind tigers to open business
and would or would we not have as r
much whiskey as we now have These I
are matters that should be consider- C
ed. Itd s a. fact that the dispensary, 1j
so far as. Newberry county is concern
ed, is far better than what we had
before when -there were eight bar-t
rooms. If we are to have whiskey I
any way would it not be better -to
have it under control and get tihe c
revenue than to have it with no con- 1
trol and get no revenue from it.
-But some one will say that we dot
not want revenue raised that way.
These are questions to think about.
In this county the city of Newberry f
receives as its share of the dispensary t
profits about $6,ooo annually. To I
cut that out would necessitate~ the r
levying of 'about a four mill. tr.x in s
addition for t'he city. The county .:e- a
ceives about $8,ooo as its share of the t
dispensary profits. To cut that out h
would necessitate about one and a i
half mills additional for current ex- b
penses of the county. This does nott
include Newberry's share of tihe c
school fnud if the dispensary is voteds
out which amounts to a considerable x
item. These are things for you to e
tihink about. l
"Rot." c
The Greenwood Journal, which is 6
the champion discoverer of spooks
and other imaginary, eviis, has found
out that Speaker M. L. Smith has
been slated by the Knights of Pythias
for the governorship next year. The
arrangement, according to the Green
wood paper, was decided on at the
recent grand lodge meeting at Beau-t
fort. This is what might mildly bet
called "rot." Our contemporary is
simply dreaming and with not very
good digestion. We are not a mem
ber of the Knights of Pythias, but
everybody witih any sense knows that
that organization has nothing to do .
with politics, following strictly in that
respect the same policy pursued by all e
the popular secret and fraternal or
ders. There are always disordered ti
imaginations, however, which see
great and dangerouis plots of secret
societies for the control or ovcrthrow
of the gover,ment. The Greenwood
Journal is a fit representative of this
we ere present at the meeting of
v gran1v jge and if thre were any
yolitical boa:ts semto Cea we -ever
.:-rd f it. There . a; little : n

0. L. Smith has been chairman of the
udiciary committee in the grand
odge for the past three years and he
cas elected grand prelate without op
,osition and as a true pythian he was
iven an ovation which should be
ratifying to any man. but as for any
iolitics, we never heard of it. People
rho are so ready to question the
n-tives of otheTs and who can find
spooks" in %verything . must have
iordcred '.
The order of Knig-hts of Pythias is

A MAMMOTH SALE.
Wimnaugh Has Been Drawing the
Crowds- Sale to Continue Ten
Days From Saturday.
When Mr. J. A. Mimnangh an
ounced that on Saturday he would
naugurate one of the greatest ten
lavs' sacritice sales of clothing. dry
moods. millinery, and. in fact, every
hing carried in his complete line, it
vas generally concededi that his store
Vould be crowded from the beginning
>f his sacrince sale until its close. But
ot even Mr. Mimnaugh knew that con
he first day of the sale the crowds
vould be so large that it would be
ecessary to close the doors every ten
ninutes in order to serve them. That
as the case on Saturday, and yes
erday the crowds continued. and
here is every indication that the store
vill be :hronged during each of the
eining days of the sale. Mr. Mim
augh advertised that he would sac
ifice S75.ooo worth of goods. He be
ieves in printer's ink, and the people
>f Newberry county have read his ad
rertisements and know from exper
ence that when he advertises goods
Lt a certain price they will be sold at
hat price. That fact accounts in
arge degree for the great throng that
as seeking entrance when the doors
>f the store were thown open on Sat
irday morning, and for the crowds
vhich have continued since to keep
he small army of salesmen and sales
vomen busy since.
Mr. Mimnaugh says that it is the
undamental principle of his business
o sell 'goods at prices, that can not
>t please his customers. Th-at is the
ule he always follows, and when a
pecial sale is inaugurated this goods
re brought below even the remarka
ly low figures which are the rule in
is establishment. The, sale now on
acludes everything under the roof, on
oth floors, and that means every
hing modern and up-to-date in the
omplete line whicih he carries. The
ale is under his personal manage
nent and supervision, and is being
onducted as only a merchant of his
ng experience knows how to con
ut a sale. That it has been a suc
ess so far is proved, and that it will
e a snecess until its close is assured.
King Edward of England and Pres
lent Roosevelt have declined to sign
tessages of the United Confederate
reterans, when they met in Louisville
n June 14. The invitation to sign
be messages was given by th'e secre
ary of the executive committee of
be reunion and in both instances
elined.
