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:

The hide shows were as popular a*
ever and many lingered here even
alter the showmen had started to take
down their tents. The spoiler* were

In case of necessity. They came here
in connection with the negotiations for
h new Russian loan.
The State Department at Washing
ton has been requested to confer au
thority for the charier of a vessel and
the hoisting on Ii ??f the American Hag
as a refuge for Americans.
The embassies have as yet taken no
Actual steps to guard foreign residents.
The i|Ucktion, however, has been dis
cussed between the representatives of
the Power*.
The negotiations for a new loan were
formally adjourned, Neither the llus
sinn ollicials nor the foreign hankers
are prepared to conclude an agreement
while the present situation continues.
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.
Secretary Root declined to give out
the text of Mr. ISddy's dispatch. >
In diplomatic circles the new* from

to give any expression o;: their views.
It is evident that they view with deep
concern the events in the Czar's em

to say thnt he thought the disorders
would soon cease, and that the strike
