E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. TUESDAY, JUNE 20, 1905. The Press Association. I desire to call the attention of the members of the South Carolina Press association, and in fact all editors and publishers, in South Carolina, tc the annual meeting of the association which will be held at White Stont Springs, July iith to 14th. The program has been issued. It contain; practical subjects, which will be dis cussed by practical newspaper men and I am satisfied will prove inter esting and instructive to all who may be present. In addition to this, tht meeting together and the elbow touch of men engaged in the sam< business, must prove beneficial. I trust, therefore, that we will have th< largest and most representative meet ing in the history of the association The management of the hotel a White Stone, guarantee to take the best care of the members, and at nominal price. In addition to wha has been mention,d as an inducemen to attend the meeting, is a week o: rest and recreation, at one of the mos delightful summer resorts in th< South. Besides the regular program, th< president and secretary have securec the Hon. M. L. Smith, of Camden, t< deliver an address on Thursday even ing, and at the same time, Col. S. H Hardwick, general passenger agen of the Southern Railway, will speak Col. Hardwick is a southern man an< a friend to, and a believer in th< press, and we fell that we have don good service for the association it securing him for this occasion. In regard to the trip to Portland Oregon, I desire to announce that have made some progress in per fecting the arrangements, and that i is my plan to use a private car fron the starting point until we return, an' that we will live on the car during thi entire trip. This will make it cheaper and much more pleasant and con venient. In order to do this the max inum in the party cannot excee< twenty-five, nor would I care to. ar range with less than_ twenty. In re gard to the expense I shall be glai to furnish an estimate of that to an: one who contemplates taking the tril: :My plans iow are to start on the trip the 1atte?part of July or the firs of August, and to go via Cincinnat and Chicago, and thence via thk Great Northern, or Union Paciflic Going one route and returning an other, and having stopover privilege wherever we may desire. The mini mum time for the trip will be thre, weeks. E. H. Aull, President. Mr. Blease states that the count: l'as on hand now to run it until th, time for collecting taxes in the fal only $2,4o0.10. It will -be remember ed that a good deal was said in th county campaign last year about th levy in this county being raised t three mills all on account of some body's error and that Mr. Aull sal< he had the three mills put in becaus it would take three mills to run th gcvernment with the expenses a what they had been. This $2,403.10i part of that three mill levy and th only part left and this only the mid dle of June. And that too with th dispensary profits. The levy has bee: reduced to 2 1-2 mills for next yea which will only result in a bigger de ficit. It is true the delegation las year agreed to make the levy 2 1 mills. but the amendment did not ge :n. Mr. Aul! was put down as a hig. tax man because he wanted to mak< the levy large enough to mee.t the ex penses and held that the represent:a tives in the~ !cgislature could not :e duce county expenses. Take Mr Blease's 8Egures and see it vou ea: talked about high taxes, but (lid no reduce or those who( stated the facts. It is well to keep) the recordl straight The conference of prohibitionist. in Columbia last week was not larg-e ly attended. The politicians will b< jumping on the wagon if it is thoughi that it will carry them through t< some good job. It is not likely tha1 nominate a state ticket. The Colum bia conference decided to call another meeting. In an -anti-dispensary fight it is well to consider what will come after. This is not a prohibition movement, but rather an anti-dispensary fight. The question which seems to be the only one thought of is to remove the dispensary and it is going to be re moved, there is little doubt of that, but in doing it we should take some thought of what is to follow. Of course, it will be nominal prohibition and if the anti-dispensary sentiment is also a prohibition sentiment there will be less trouble in having the law enforced. We fear that the anti-dis pensary sentiment is not a prohibi tion sentiment. Itwas stated in a dispatch from Co lunbia on the Saturday of the mass meeting in the court house to con sider the question of getting up pe titions asking an election on the dis pea,say-" that the "Aulls, Senator Blease and 'Hub' Evans" would have or agreed to have a conference the next week to organize the dis pensary forces. We do not know upon what authority this news was sent out, but in justice to all parties we desire to say that so far as we are concerned no such agreement was entered into and as a matter of fact Senator Blease was down in the Horse Creek Valley in the interest of I the order of Red Men and if "Hub" Evans was in the city we do not . know it. So far as we are concerned we care very little about it one way t or the other. When the dispensary was first established this newspaper I opposed it as vigorously as any one. We have said since and say it now, that in its practical operation, so far as this county is concerned it is bet ter than what we had. Whether it is better than what we will have when it is voted out is another question. - We doubt it very seriously. We are t somewhat in the position of a certain 1 candidate for governor when asked where he stood on this question. He said he was in favor of letting the people have' what they want. The Pickens dispensary has not 3 been closed though the vote was had - some weeks ago and the people voted - .it closed. The attorney general's of I fice holds that under the Weeks Elloree decision by the supreme court it is the business of the county board to act in closing the dispensary. The Pickens county board, through Mr. Cox, its chairman, wrote the gover nor that. "the reason why the board has not taken any action is that they have been waiting orders from the state board, as we are acting under them." eThe governor replied that it is the duty of the county board to act in the matter oi closing a dispensary after an election has been held without any reference to the state board of directors." This was on Saturd.ay and it is supposed the dispensary will be closed. It is said when it was rumored that the dispensary would close on a certain day that the de mand for whiskey was so great the people could not be waited on.
