The Greenville News and other anti-dispensary newspapers seem very impatient to get a declaration from Goveror Ellerbe, as to his course with reference to the dispensary, and from day to day they are throwing out hints of a deal made by the Gov ernor to recommend local option. We do not know whether there is any ground to suspect that governor El lerbe has changed his views about the handling of the liquor problem, but we have no idea that by word or act has he ever given any man good res son to believe that he will not stand to the declarations made upon the hustings, when he went before the people asking for re-election. The people endorsed him in spite of the combinations and alliances made to defeat him, and now that the battle is won, to turn around and recommend for the enactment into law, a measure which was rejected by the voters in the recent campaign would be absurd. Tillman and Schumpert went from county to county and tried to prove that local option was the panacea for all of their ills, but they would have it not, and repudiated both of them and their falacious doctrine. We gave to Governor Ellerbe our hearty support and we did so, upon his manly stand for what he thought was right without regard to political consequences; had be been a trimmer the prohibitionist would not have given him oppoeition because he would have, on the dead quiet, given them to understand that he was with them. No, he made the fight upon the dispensary platform and on it he must stand. The only thing for him to do is to recommend such measures as will improve the system, and use every effort to make the law a step towards prohibition, or rather temper ance, for we do not believe prohibi tion can be made practicable. These newspapers that are endeavoring to create the impression that Ellerbe gave the local optionists a promise, in order to get their votes are only making a grand bluff, notwithstand ing the fact that the Columbia State did hint of such an understanding. Ellerbe were he so disposed, cannot after satisfying his political appetite hand the dish over to his enemies, and the enemies of the people who stood by him, when the clouds of dis aster were hovering very near. The friends of the dispensary are in the majority in the General Assembly and while many of them are disposed to strike out the laws harsh features, they will, if it becomes necessary put aside little differences and details and to a man will stand by the law and block any attempt to destroy it. The interviews as published in Friday's State from the Charleston delegation is enough to open the eyes of the opponents of barrooms in South Car olina; The representatives from that prohibition(?) city, where Mr. Feath erstone, the prohibition candidate re eeived 54 votes, and high license Schumpert about 1200, but in the second primary the high license peo ple gave Featherstone their vote, are beld in their sayings that they want license and if they cannot get license, so their friends can do "peezness" wi4th open doors, then they want pro hibition so their friends can do "peez ness" behind closed doors. It is our opinion that Governor Ellerbe will endeavor to point out to the General Assembly a way to en force the dispensary law, nmore effect ually than it is being done now, and with less expense, but there will not be any "local option" or high license measure from him. The dispensary must have a fair test, and then if it is not what it should be, away with it. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube gets intiamed yon have a rumbling sound or imnperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the infiamation can De taken out and this tube restored to its nor mal condition, hearing will be deetroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused~ by eatarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucons surfaca. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrhy that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circniars, free. F. J. CaErm & Co., Toledo, 0. Sold by druggists, 75c. Senator McLaurin has done some good work in Washington towards getting millitary camps in this State. Editor Gonzales in a series of let ters entitled "In Darkest Cuba" pub lished in the Columbia State is enter taining his many readers. The letters should be published in book form and put on the market, their merit is a guarantee of large sales. The Democracy of New York is committing the folly of going into the campaign in divided columns. Roosevelt the Republican nominee is fresh from the war and flushed with victory; his name is a household word and besides his party is marching to the polls in solid phalanx, while poor old Democracy is split and quarrell ing in the presence of the enemy. We have no idea, under the circumstan ces that Van Wyck the Democratic nominee will stand a ghost of a chance. A house divided must. fall in New York as well as elsewhere. The State Supreme Court has is sued a writ which will prevent the Democratic Executive Committee of Berkeley county, from carrying out the mandates of the State Committee. This action is a dangerous exercise of power that should not be vested in the Courts, and if persisted in, our primary system will be badly handi capped; it will result in defeated can didates running to the courts, to en join committees from declaring the wishes of the people. The General Assembly should take notice of this matter and enact some law which will not permit the courts to become in struments of destruction, at the in stance of dissatisfied politicians. The effect of the Berkeley case will be to take the nomination of Sheriff out of the hands of the Democratic voters, and throw the election, into the gen eral election for both Democrats and Republicans to vote, leaving the De mocracy of that county without a nominee. A bad precedent has been established by the Berkeleyites. The exceedingly low price of cot ton this season, should be a lesson, not soon to be forgotten. Our farm ers cannot make the staple at the price, and pay their debts; some other money crop must be found or disas ter will be the result; as long as the present conditions exist, the banks will withhold their accommodations and the farmers will be left to strug gle on without aid. Some may argue that the farmer will never get any better off until he learns to keep out of debt; this argutnent might do if the farmer was not already in the quagmire of debt, and what is needed now is a way to get out. The ques tion then is, whether or not there should be a reduction of the cotton acreage, and whether or not the fleecy staple should be abandoned altogeth er. A reduction of the acreage, re duces the supply and, of course re duces the means to obtain money. The abandonment of cotton raising cannot be, until some other money crop can be found. The farmers throughout the State and the cotton belt should take advantage of this years experience and endeavor to pro fit thereby. The present depressing condition is not alone felt by the farmer; the merchant feels the yoke also, and it is he at last, who must go to the wall when the fai-mer fails to find means to pay for his advances. It therefore behooves the merchant to lend every encouraging aid to the farmer to extricate himself from the destructive effects~ fast encroaching pon those who must toil under a Southern sun to make clothing for mankind. Three Doctors mn Consultation. From Benjamin Franklin. "When you are sick, what you like best is to be chosen for a medicine in the first place; what experience tells you is best, to be chosen in the second place; what reason (i. e., Theory) says is best is to be chosen in the last place. But if you can get Dr. Inclination, Dr. Experience and Dr. Rea son to hold a consultation together, they will give you the best advice that tcan be taken." When you have a bad cold Dr. Iochina tion would recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy becanse it is pleasant and safe to take. Dr. Experience would rec ommend it because it never fails to effect a speedy and permanent cure. Dr. Reason would recommend it because it is prepared on scientific principles, and acts on na ture's plan in relieving the lungs, opening the secretions and restoring the system to a natural and healthy condition. For sale by R. B. Loryea, druggist. Why does a man's shoestring inva riably break when he's in a hurry? Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia. was the subject, is narrtted by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no ap petite-gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortunately. a friend advised trying Elec tric Bitters; and to my great joy and sur prise, the first bottie made a decided im provement. I continned their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim," N'o one should fail to try them. Only 50 ets per bottle at R. B. Loryea's Drug Store. Why isn't a telegraph line an out line? How to P'revent Croup1. We have two children who are subject to attacks of croup. When ever an attack is coming on my wife gives them Chiambey lain's Cough Remedy and it always p~re vents the attack. It is a household neces sit in this county and no matter what eise we run out of, it would not do to be with out Chamberlain's Cough IEemcdy. More of it is sold here than of all other cough mediines combined.-J. M. Nickle of Nickle Bros., nmerchants, Nickleville, Fa, The State Election and the Lesson it Teaches. The election held on Tuesday of last week was, in a measure, a surprise to many, but the result did not mate rially differ from what the Headlight prognosticated. We never had a mo ment's doubt but that Governor El lerbe would be re-elected, but knew that the strong combinations against him would reduce his majority. The day before the second primary, in re ply to an iuquiry, the editor of this paper stated that, from what he could gather, Ellerbe would go in by a ma jority ranging from five to seven thousand. There were six candidates opposed to Governor Ellerbe, hailing from every section of our State, and all well presumed to be strong men. With the single exception of Col. Schumpert, they were very abusive against the Governor, and centred their fire upon him. Of course each of these candidates had his friends and workers, and after the State's first primary, and the gubernatorial candidates had been thinned down to Ellerbe and Featherstone, those who supported the losing candidates felt that it was necessary to beat Ellerbe to vindicate their course. It is true that Col. Watson came out in a letter endorsing Ellerbe, but we doubt if he controlled a dozen votes, and only published himself a political turnooat, who, after denouncing Governor El lerbe in the most abusive manner, tried to ingratiate himself in his good graces by dieting upon his own words. Candidates can control vot ers in their own interest, but when they endeavor to turn them over to some one else they will find them selves badly mistaken. But the reduced vote polled by Governor Ellerbe was not intended as a rebuke to his administration, but a disapproval of the manner in which the dispensary has been managed in the past. Too much favoritism had been shown the State constables, and the people demanded that these offi cers be held to strict account for their aots the same as other private citi zens, and not be made special pets of. The pardoning of May and Buice, after their conviction by an impartial jury, lost Governor Ellerbe hundreds of votes in the upper section of our county as well as in Greenville, while the cruel and unprovoked killing of Mr. Turner by Newbold set the whole county ablaze with indignation. In Spartanburg county hundreds of strong friends of the dispensary voted for Featherstone simply to show their disapproval of the manner in which the dispensary has been managed, and to put a quietus on this shooting down of men for an offense, which, at most, would only put them to the chaingang for a short time. The next Legislature will have to overhaul the dispensary law, and put a stop to even the suspicion of wrong doing and hold constables to strict account for their acts, or two years hence the people will rise in their power and wipe the whole system out of existence. Taking all things into considera tion, Governor Ellerbe made a splen did race, and we doubt if' there is an other man in the State who could have been elected with such a com bination of politicians and unfortu nate circumstances against him. The whole fire of the opposition was di reted on Ellerbe, backed by the pul pit and every man interested in the tearing down of the dispensrry law and the sale of liquors by private par ties. But the majority of the voters refused to be controlled against a man whom they knew to be honest, and who had done his duty faithfully and fearlessly. Governor Ellerbe had also to combat the hundreds of dis appointed office-seekers, who failed to receive appointments at his hands to civil offices or in the army. But the great mass of our voters respect ed and honored Governor Ellerbe, and refused to strike down and hu miliate a good and pure man. But during his next term the many obstacles he had to encounter will be removed-factional differ ences have been allayed, and our people are again working together in peace and unity, and to Win. H. El erbe, more than any other man, is this happy result due. The war has ended and there will be no scramble over positions in the army, and most of the appointments for State offices have been filled. Therefore we pre dict that Governor Ellerbe will retire from the gubernatorial chair at the expirtion of his second term, amid the plaudits of the whole State, and his official record will go down in his tory as one of the cleanest in the an nals of the Palmetto State. It would have been a shameful outrage to strike down as pure and honest a man as Governor Ellerbe at the clamor of ambitious politicians and an unholy alliance between Prohibi tionists and liquor men. But one glorious result has en sued: The people went to work and cleaed the State House of those who have been holding offce since 1890, and made an entirely new deal. Piedmont Headlight.
