E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C.. as second class matter. TUESDAY, JULY 25, 1905. The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier in yesterday paper states that in several of the counties petitions are ready; for the election on the dispensary but they are being held up until Justice Pope renders his decision in the Pickens case which was before him at New berry some weeks ago. They seem to have overlooked the fact that Justice Pope declined to hear the case and ordered that the whole matter be re ferred to a special referee to take testimony and report Csn1 the facts to the supreme court and that the case be refererd to the full court. That being the status of the Pickens case not probable that a decision will be reached until the la:ter part of the year and there will be n' election for some time in any of the counties the decision in the Pickens case is desired first. Mr. Archer. of Spartanbu!rg. be ing commended because he would not let any politicians speak at the farm ers meeting in that county rerently. The idea being sought to be empha sized is thar the present farmers movement is non-political and there are to be no boosts given to ambi tious politicians by permitting them to address the meetings. The pur pose in view is a good one, if it be to keep office seekers from using the or ganization to help them secure office. but how are you to keep politicians out and still have an organization, we would be glad to have explained apd besides we do not see how it could hurt to have a man who has held office simply to address -the meeting. It may be that Mr. Mc Laurin was the man the blow was aim ed at. He is no avowed candidate for office, if that is what is meant by keeping the politicians away. If we remember correctly the president of the state orgaHization has been men ticned as a candidate for a state of 'ce and that he has said that if the call came he would heed the cries if they were loud and long enough. And the secretary has also been mentioned and we are sure he w-ould not turn a deaf ear to the pleadings of his country men. Then there are others who have been sent out to make speeches who are listening for the "divine call," as Col. ~Bacon says. We are not criticizing the movement or these men for we can see no harm in their seeking political preferment and at the same time addressing any gathering of farmers or any other set of men. We do not believe the farmers or any other set of men in this state just at this tinme will per mit these poliiticians to ~ use their organizations for their personal pre ferment and - e can believe that a man may be a candidate for high po litical preferment and at the same time be a gentleman and not attempt to secure position by playing upon the prejudices of any class of our people. How are you going to have these organizations without having a poli tician in them and permitting him to address the organization and why should he be debarred. We can see, no justice or sense in such a proposi tion. Because a man makes a speech }.a farmers meeting is no reason those farmers are pledged to support him for any position. The Yorkville Enquirer asks what the association wil! look like after the politicians have been eliminated. The associa tion has do'ne a good work and we do not believe the farmers are going to be used by any of the politicians and if they waria to hear these poll tricians speak let them hear them.

"Yes, sir. when the enemy charged on our position and came over the breastworks you oughter have seen me!" exclaimed the boastful veteran.

Not ong ago Flaharty had, according to he notions of his friends, been the r.cipient of what could be deemed othing else than an insult from the )thcer Irishman.
