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

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.

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. . ,

“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

Pleasant Hill, N. €.—“I suffered for
three summers,” writes Mrs. Walter
Vincent, of this town, “and the third and
last time, was my worst.
1 had dreadful nervous headaches and
prostration, and was scarcely able to
walk about. 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.
