Why is a dispensary constable? In Orangeburg County four men have served as constables during the six months that the dispensary has been in operation and have drawn 11,217. They have made five arresnts and secured one conviction. The Board of Control does not know where the constables have been since the campaign opened. Governor Blease,in one of his speeches last week, declared that he has a “political machine,” but says that it is no expense to him. Surely the State wf South Carolina is not helping to maintain a political organization at the expense of the tax payers? • Under the law, its enforcement is left to the "sheriffs, their deputies, magis- • • ’ i. trates, constables, rural police, city and •end town officials,” but “if they fail to do so 'the" governor ... is hereby authorized to appoint such deputies, constables and detectives as may be necessary.” In order to appoint constables, the governor must have been assured that the town and county officials of Orange burg were derelict in their duty. On the other hand, it would seem from the •mall number of arrests and convic- tians that the law was either very well enforced, there were few violations, or the dispensary constables were not “on the job.' 1 It would be interesting to have infor mation in regard to dispensary con stables in every county in which there are dispensaries. Below we publish the four questions asked by the Orange burg Times and Democrat and the an swers to same: “First: How much money has the Orangeburg county dispensary paid for dispensary constables since last December, when it opened? “Second: Why are the men that have served as constables in this coun ty, and how long has each been on the payroll? “Third: What have these constables done since they have been at work? “Fourth: Where has each constable been since the campaign opened? Have they been all at work in Orangeburg county?” In reply to these questions the coun ty board of control replied in sustance as follows: ^ 1. Four men have served as constabl es during six months the dispensary has been in operation and have drawn •1,217. 2. The board did not care to give the names of the constables. 3. They made five arresti gfldxecurfid. one conviction. 4. The board professed not to know. -rwat their selling. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo says that assistance must come through the banks and that in addition to the crop moving fund of 934,000,000, a much larger amount in Vretlaud currency will soon be avail able. It seems to The People that if the State had a system of bonded warehouses it would be of great aid to the farmers of South Carolina at this partic ular time, for they could store their cotton, get a receipt for same and bor row money at the banks without any trouble. The present outlook will no doubt be a strong argument in favor of the warehouse system when the Legis lature convenes next January. President Wilson gives assurance, however, that the country is in excel lent financial condition and that there is no need for unnecessary worry and we can only hope that some means will be devised to hold the cron. The Philadelphia Public Ledger thinks that the war will be more of a benefit to the United States than otherwise, pointing out that with the Panama Canal ready for ships, this country has a splendid opportunity of wresting the South American trade from England and Germany, which have a practical | monopoly at present, selling millions of dollars worth of goods annnally. If the United States can do this, this coun try will lead the world commercially by the time peace is restored. With predictions being made of a low price for cotton on account of the European war, there is all the more reason to re-elect E. D. Smith to the Senate. ‘ Is pie vanishing?” asks the Rich mond Times-Dispatch. Well, all that we have seen in the hands of a small boy vanished with astonishinig rapid ity. " Incon*i*tencie*. At the opening of the present cam paign, Governor Blease charged that Senator Smith was a delegate to ‘‘fhe Haskell convention. Now he says that the Senator's heart was there if his body wasn’t. The governor has repeatedly charged that the new primary rules were made with the express intention of disfran chising the poor white man (among whom he claims his largest following,) who would be so humiliated by having to “make his mark” that he would not care to enroll. Now Governor Blease said his people had worked while the other crowd sat in their offices and “we’ve got ’em beat.” “We should worry.” When J. E. Harley was elected to fill the unexpired term of Mayor R. C. Holman a little more than a year ago, he promised the people of Barnwell that he would enforce the laws of the town fairly and impartially and that he would close up the “blind tigers,” which had become a menace to the welfare of the people. In Tuesday’s primary election he was nominated for a second term WITHOUT OPPOSI TION. This is the highest endorsement that could be given his administration and is conclusive evidence that he has redeemed every promise made to the voters. His re-election assures a busi nesslike administartipn for the ensuing two years. “Cole L. Blease neither explains nor apologizes; neither did Huerta salute th* flag.”—Allendale Herald, look what Huerta “went and done.” W. P. Beard, who is said to be a well-informed Bleaseite, predicts the election of an Anti-Blease governor this ypar. Here’s hopin’.

Get this clearly and squarely in your mind, Mr. Voter: Senator Smith has never. claimed credit for the Smith Lever farm extension bill, but he did introduce and work for the .Smith cotton features bill. Governor Blease’s garbled accounts to the con trary notwithstanding. In this, as in nearly all of his charges, the governor is playing cheap politics and attempting to befuddle the mind of the voters. Vote for the man who has the inter ests of the farmers at heart and who has striven long and faithfully for their betterment. Vote for Senator E. D. Smith. With several of the great Powers of Europe involved in a gigantic struggle, the outlook for high-jSHced cotton is rather gloomy, and the cotton bears will doubtless take advantage of the situation to depress the price as much as possible. Before the cotton ex changes were closed the price had fal len many points. . , Several years ago the Brazilian gov- .'bought up the coffee crop of that country to save the planters ofMha eoaaftftiBf' were restored. A oaDed session of the South- era Cotiea Congressjrill be held in today and tomorrow for “We all swear when we vote in the primary to support the homifiees of the party,” says the Newberry Herald and News, -one of the few Blease papers in the State. But did the governor do this in Aiken and Bamberg counties, when he refused to commission two of the nominees of the 1912 primary? Even war clouds have their silver lining. With France involved in the European struggle there is a strong pro bability that Americari fashions will ceale to be dominated by Paris—for a time, anyway. , ‘ For Congress. 1 hereby announce my candidacy -for renomination by the Democratic party for Representative in Congress from the Second District, pledging myself to comply with the rules of the party.

Could not do any of my housework. I also had dreadful pains in my back and sides and when one of those weak, sinking spells would come on me, 1 would have to give up and lie down, until it wore off. - . I was certainly in a dreadful state of health, when 1 finally decided to try Coidui. the woman’s tonic, and 1 firmly believe I would have died if 1 hadn’t taken it. After I began taking Cardui, I was greatly helped, and all three bottles re lieved me entirely. I fattened up, and grew so much stronger in three months, 1 felt like an other person altogether.” Cardui is purely vegetable and gentle acting. Its ingredients have a mild, ionic effect, on the womanly constitution Cardui makes for increased strength, improves the appetite, tones up the ner vous system, and helps to make pale, sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy. Cardui has helped more than a milliot* weak women, during the past 50 years. It will surely do for you, what it has done for them. Try Cardui today. Write to: Chattanooga Madlclna Co..
