The Election on "Dispensary or "No Dispensary" Will Be Held cn August 29. The election on the uispensary has been ordered, or rarner the county supervisor has made request on the commissioners of election to call the election. The at orney general holds that it is the duty of the commission ers of sta:e election to order said elec tion upon the request of the county supervisor and that it should be con ducted in the same manner as ac quired by the constitution for gen eral elections. He concludes his opin ion as follows: From an examination of the various text books. encyclopaedias, State re po rt . etc.. there is abundant author itv for the view that where authority for a special election fails to provide th- machinery, recourse should be had to the general election law ac cepting either this view or the inter pretation placed upon our election laws as hereinbefore expressed the law, the result is the same. I am, therefore, of the opinion that the supervisor ordering an election under the 1904 act (commonly known as the "Brice act") should direct the same to the commissioners of elec tion, that the requirements as to the size of the ballotts, time of opening and closing the polls, eligibility of voted, and all other requirements gov erning a general election should be complied with. It follows from this conclusion that the expenses of the election are to be met just as the expenses of a general election as governed by section 222 of the code. If there are no funds avail able it becomes a matter for legisla tive consideration. Respectfully. U. X. Gunter. Attorney General. Newberry. S. C.. July 29. 1905. Fred. H. Dominick. Esq..
