Columbia State, Oct. 30th. probable that I he office of the attorney general will not be repre sented at Asheville Tuesday when the constitutionality of the "Price la a " will be attacked ill tbe United States courts. It is said that the anti-dis pensary people in Union will have a legal representative there anyway and that the law will not be allowed to be declared unconstitutional merely bccause there is no one there to de fend it. Perhaps it' the attorney general had not had information to this effect hit otlice would have been represented anyway, but it ap|>ears that there h no necessity to send an additional at torney there. Judge Pritcbard recent ly a 111 lined an order that the law would be declared in contravention to the federal statutes unless the county board of Union could show cause why. they should not reinstate certain dis pensers to their jobs. It is now but two months until the legislature meets anyway, and it is possible that a bi?? light will be made to kill the law, root and branch, it' the Price law should be declared unconstitutional. ('apt. J no. ('. Sellers of Marion was here during the State fair ami ex pressed his belief that a prohibition measure would be passed anyway. The house was 3 to 1 in favor of anti-dis jKMisary legislation last year, but the senate was ' mildly in favor of the dispensary. There are elections to be held in several counties at an early date and il is probable that in all of these counties prohibition, or anti-dispen sary. will carry. The dates are as follows: Anderson, Nov. -4th; (ireen ville and Spartanburg, Nov. 14th; Edgefield, December 7th; Fairfield, December J 2th. Efforts are being made to have a vote on this question in Saluda, fjexiugton and Chesterfield counties before the legislature meets, and in Saluda at least the dispensary will be. voted out, if persistent effort will avail. ? Twelve counties in the State have expressed their disapproval of the dis pensary, and only one has favored it. Marlboro^, and Greenwood have con sistently favored prohibition, and York, Lancaster, Cherokee, Horry, Marion, Union, Newberry, Pickens, Oconee and Darlington have voted it out under the provisions of the "Price law." Florence by a majori ty of 74 favored the dispensary, but reports from that county are to the effect that an election tomorrow would go overwhelmingly the other way, es pecially since Darlington has voted against the dispensary, Florence was afraid that Darlington would keep the' dispensary and it was believed that the dispensary situation would affect .trade. ? As a "mflfter of information the votes in these several elections have been as follows: Anti.For Cherokee 1,251 349 Pickens.... 701 412 Union 7G1 412 Newberry SOS 243 Marion V 1,140 281 York 72"? 131 Lancaster 070 120 Florence 0:fS . 700 Qurlimrton f'. . .. -ISO 27.1 Hurry T 832 314 Oconee (partial) .">00 SO Totals ,'>,081 3,1 oO 1* The elections were held on Iho fol lowing dates: Cherokee, November 8, 1004 ; Pickens, May 20, 1005 ; ion, August 16; Newberry, August 29; Marion, September 18; Yoyk, September 20; Lancaster, Florence, Horry, October 3; Darlington, Octo ber 10 ; Oconee, October 24.

Washington, ]"?. ('.?A dispatch re ceived at i lie State Department from Spencer Eddy, the American Charge at St. Petersburg, said the situation in IJiiNsia was very alarming. The dis patch was the subject of a long confer ence between Secretary Hoot, who re turned to thi* city from New York, and Mr.- Bacon, the Kirs l Assistant Secre tary. who h.<s been aetiiij; as Hie head of tin' State Department during ltoot's absence. Mr. Eddy asked the department for Instructions to meet any eventualities which might arise out of tlu? condition of affairs in St. Petersburg, and late in the evening these were" cabled to him. One feature of the instructions cov ers the question of the protection of Americans residing In Si. Petersburg in case of a general uprising which might endanger their lives, in the event of an"outbreak they will have the protection of the American Embassy until further arrangements can be made for their accommodation. It is not believed by the State De partment ollicials that any great num ber of Americans are now in St. Peters burg, as most of t he tourists have left the country owing to the approach of winter. Such Americans as may be in the interior, it is thought, are not in tiny danger. The clfatcrliig of a vessel ami the naliomiliijiiig of it by hoisting an Amer ican Hag. In order to provide a refuge for American.? , is rather an unusual proceeding, and is not resorted to ex cept in cases of extreme emergency, the State Department generally relying on the asylum afforded by the embas sies and legations, The officials here hope that such a step will uot bo neces sary.
