C.. AUGUST 19The returns from the 21 connties in which prohibition elections were held Tuesday indicate that Richland, Charleston, Aiken and Beaufort arc the only counties which have certainly retained fhe dispensary, with Florence1 and Georgetown doubtful. The . fesijlt pf the ejection will not | surprise those who have ob- i perved the progress of the cam- j paign; there was no concerted ftiove by the opponents of pro- ; hibition and it was anticipated j that three-fourths of the counties ; would go "dry." If the tern-' pqrance laws are enforced it will jje due to the efforts of the newspapers, for it is as certain as death and taxes that most of tliose who have ranted loudest against the "liquor evil" will not Jielp suppress the illegal sale of Jiquor by the t'gers and social plubs. . - .u v IL ~ rj.: The Times did not, of course, piean to include the Lancaster News in the list of papers which we said, in an editorial last week, had lollowed unthinkingly the lead of one or two daily papers in comipepding Judge Memmin- ' ger for unwarrantedly discharging the York county jury somej week? ago. The editor of Tho i News was outspoken in condemning Judge Memminger and it gave The Times pleasure to reproduce what he said on the ,subject. The News' editorial appeared in these columns on July 29. ?Tf we had a thousand dollars we would gladly give it to complete the 'Woman's Monument fund.' " ? Dillon Herald.

Th<e announcement on Monday pf the census appointments for Smith f!iir<?llll? tVlMlinrh in(?Am_ r-?M ?u""v,| '"VUfe" HIV.V/4II plete, created a great deal of interest throughout the State, as (.hey are taken to indicate the policy of the administration. No appointments were made pf supervisors for the fourth, pixth And seventh districts. |n ?he first district the supervisor is William J. Storen, of Charleston, a prominent Demoprat. George Waterhouse, of Beaufort, also a Democrat pf prominence, was the appointee in the second district The supervisor in the third district is a Republican pamed | W. W. Russell, whose home is Anderson. In this, the 5th, district there were two applicants fpr the po-; sition?pp. Kobt. L. Douglas, of j Chester, and ?J. P. Hollis, of; Rock Hill. Report has it that Dr. Douglas was endorsed for the place by Congressman Finley, while Mr. Hollis had the assistance of his friend and cpjlegemate. Mr. Durand, the director of the "census. Congressman pinlev won out over Mr. Durand in this appointment, Dr. Douglas having been named for the position. Dr. Douglas is a Demoprat The New "Lincoln" One Cent. Tho now ''I in/?Aln" Ann nnnf : pieces, which the treasury de- J partment has caused to be de- j pigned and struck off in honor pf the 100th anniversary of' Lincoln's birth, are being: dis- ; tributed through the banks of the country. The pew coin is handsorpe in j ppppprance, and is of the same j size aa the familiar "Indian! head" design. On the face of the penny is the bust of A brapan) Lincoln, in profile, facing towapd the right. y\bove the head is the motto: "In Qod We Trust." and to the left of the ' figure the word "Liberty." In the lower right-hand corner is the date 190f>. On the reverse the vyords "One Cent" stand forth in bold type, and beneath, j them "United States of America" ! in small lettering. At the top j of the coin is the motto "E Pluri-1 bus Unum." Two conventional; wheat stalks extend around the i lettering, and close to base j of the coin are the artist's! initials, "V. D. B." in minute j type. The circle of the milled embossing which runs around' the face and reverse of the old penny is absent from the new coin, and the entire design is; noteworthy for its simplicity of line, * Mr. Bradford and the Dispensary. I While in town Monday, Mr. W. R. Bradford, of Columbia, j who is well known in this section as a newspaper man because of ; his present and former connection with The Times, was asked : if he intended to reply to the attack which a correspondent of the Columbia State made on him in the Sunday issue of that paper j Q C o roci 11 f s\ f o OAm m nninutiAr* uo u t vouiw v/x a vvuiuiuiuv-rii iuu which he wrote for Saturday's State and signed "W. R. B." The communication signed "W. R. B." was in reference to the dispensary election in Richland county and in it the view was expressed that the dispensary was the best thing for Richland county, that the county needed the revenue which the legal sale of liquor would continue to produce, that prohibition in Richland county at least would foster blind tigers and appeared to the writer as un-Democratic and that he! was opposed to the Anti-Saloon League because it had fought the Democracy in the West and probably in other sections of the countryt Mr. Bradford said that he did not intend to notice the attack made upon him in The State?at least, he had decided not to submit a reply for publication in that paper, but that he was glad | of the opportunity to explain the i matter to his friends in this' section. "As I am not even remotely interested in the sale of liquor and do not drink it," said Mr. Bradford, "no one could reasonably accuse me of taking other than a disinterested view of the ! matter. The correspondent of The State, who does not agree to this( does not know the meaning of the word 'disinterested' in the sense in which it was used. la eta attempt io make a witty play on my initials he refers to me as a 'wild ranting bully,' but admits that he does not know who I am.

The noise heard by those in the. neighborhood sounded like the prowl of a poodle dog." The following editorial appeared in The State of Monday: "As Mr. W. H. Edwards of Chester has just been given opportunity to strike a blow for prohibition in the columns of The i State, and as there are others! writing, we can not give him space for argument with *\V. R. I B.' Besides, his assumption that 'W. R. B.' is a property owner1 in Richland, and, while not interested in liquor as seller or drinker, is willing to let the drinkers pay his taxes, is quite wrong. To the best of our knowledge he owns no property in any 'wet' ; county.

And The State makes hold to affirm the belief in his sincerity, even after the disciplinary measures adopted by Mr. Cave of Olar, in re Dr. Jones. We can assure our other old friend, J. F. Williams, that his guess that 'W. R. B.' is anything resembling a 'wild, ranting bully' is miles from the mark. News of Pleasant Valley. Plasant Valley Aug. 16.?Ficnics, marriages, visiting, and watermelon feasts have been taking place with such kaleidoscopic rapidity in Pleasant Valley for the past several weeks that The Times correspondent has been unable to locate them and report .them intelligently. But the storm is partially over and we will sec what we can find in the debris. We discover a delightful W. 0. W. picnic at Marvin on Ane-. 11; another very enjoyable picnic at Mr. Perry Collins' last Saturday; a picnic at John W. Hall's on Aug. 5, which Cupid, the son of Venus, visited and fired a volley of his arrows at the multitude with the result that six hearts were wounded. "Notorious Publican" T. W. Secret was called upon to administer to the wounded, and he operated in such manner that three happy couples were soon embarked on the sea of matrimony. Miss Alma Harris, daughter of Mrs. M. .J. Harris of this place, and Mr. Will Yarborough, an industrious young1 farmer of the . . .? - ? ., ...... .?. ! !_ -I ? ^ V Osceola community, were two of the contracting parties, and their marriage was quite a surprise to their many friends. Your correspondent did not learn the names of the other two couples who took the fatal step. Mrs. J. P. Harris is visiting friends and relatives in Pineville.? Mr. J. Walter Potts is expected to arrive today from Mississippi for a visit to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. O. Potts. Miss Robinson, of Union, visited Misses Alda and Lula Therrcll last week. A protracted meeting is in progress at the Pleasant Valley Baptist church. Dr. Bolchndge, of Lancaster, will probably assist the pastor, Rev. Mr. Estridge. Mr. J. A. Hyatt, the road contractor, lias reached Pleasant Valley with his machinery and force of hands and we will soon have some good roads.

AITLKS OF GOLD IN HCTURKS OF SILVER. Annr.viLi.r. Piu:.s.s and Pannkii. Away from the Riulto, on a quiet side street in the city of Abbeville, is a little home, in which, with others, two women dwell, on whose heads has fallen the frost of many winters, the eider so weak and frail that she can only go about the home in an invalid's chair. On the beautiful mornings these nmy be seen in the porch in deep arid rapt study. In the hands of the younger of the two is the Book of books from which she reads aloud. As the words of the Holy Writ strike upon their consciousness the light of othc r worlds beams from their faces. The holy words strike home to hearts that are full, to souls that are alight with faith, strong in hope and lovely in charity. They have fought the battles of the world and have finished, their duties are done and they now await the great call. Children play in noisy frolic in the street, but their merrv cambols do not interrupt the deep meditation of these two souls. They are wrapped up in the words of the patriarchs and prophets, of the Mnst<r and his disciples. These words are more to thorn than the gold of the West or the precious stones o? the Hast. While a thousand hungering sou Is pass their door, blushing with youth and bounding with vigor, their souls have eaten of that which sati lie th. Out of eyes dim with age scintillate a boundless love and faith, and while there are wrinkles of time about their kindly mouths, vet ther lips form in smiles i behind which is the gladness that comes from another and a beltt r world! They are exponents of a religion that no man can destroy. They are living sermons that preach stronger than ! masters of the pulpit or the pen. liei fore these the arguments of the unj faithful would fade away like mists 1 ? [ fore the morning sun. Of faith, they are proofs unanswerable, unfathonu d, | glorious and full. The days coine and go, an l age still j creeps upon them, encroaching upon i their pleasures of this world; but faith and hope more than Sill the void, aral I only joy marks their resignation to the j glass and the scythe. Well might the Old Testament character . -y: "!. t nu? die the death of the righteous and let my last end he like "his." What a picture., what a lesson, what i examples of faith, what an wers to tin ' critics and unfaithful. "Ye are the light or the world" \va- not spoken hi vain, for from these two souls etnanal a light that is stronger than the arguments of purgeons, brighter than sparks from the stars of the pulpit. Humble in life, proud in soul, small in egotism, great in altruism, forgetful of self, mindful of others they ere there, you may still see them on beautiful mornings with the Ho k, p :t: g to "better worlds" an 1 r ?idy "to b ad the way." Prolmldy you have seen this pictun . and as you saw it for an inn nt the . answer to the great question, why you are here and for what purpose you are here, flashed across your mental fi? Id.

H. ! ' Wihdje I would he obliged to you to ( publish a few I! itigl ts orj the subject. I , I J do not feel that the public is sufj ficiently infornndas to iV i. V relic's J ' aide of the difficulty and it is my desire, along with that c f many others, that j the real reasons of the trouble be generally understood. In writing this card ' I shall try to be temperate in the use , of language, but there are times when plain speaking becomes necessary. ( i fhis l conceive to he one of the times. TKose who read the Yorkvilie Enquirer during the campaign last August ! will recall a certain editorial article which appeared therein in reference to ' the "Windl-'ship combination." The;' use of these two words was not partic- j ularly oifensivo to Mr. V. indie ami his , friends, and if that had been all in the 1 editorial the matter don lit In- . iruuLl have passed without altirmath. But i transcending the bounds of decent newspaper comment, as has hi on the wont of th.e editor of tlie Yorkvi'ie ftbiquirer in the past and will probably be his practice in the future, we find on the neels of his "Wiiulleship combination" , rcfereno the insulting character ration of tin' ieaders of these who r.ppost d his 1 candidatesas "ward heelers.'' These are | fightii g w< rds, and if the editor <>i' The hirqui> r ir. ngined he could apply the language of the yutti r to ti en who are i , his equals t'oi once he r? i kuncd without | a host. M r. \\ indie commentlably de- ! termii'.-d to seek pt r.-tonal astti?faction, ! for he knew, as tiid the public, that the j insult was aim d at him in part, and to j ' rest complacently under the unwarranted a -null u;?un his honor, would ! be but a show of i .c.vardice and a silent end< moment of the contempt in which , ; it w;.3 sought to place him before his i fellow-man. Hence the light between j , j Mr. Windle and the editor < f The Kn- i quirer at the coir t house in Yorkville a 1 K w days subs ju -nt to the publication. , In the light Mr. Windle used a walking stick, choiring- at.chilis lriir. i. did not doubt hi Word that b:s antagonist. upon their meeting, attempted to draw a pistol.
