Thursday, Sept. 29,1904 It has been said of the esteemed Columbia State, on more than one occasion, that it's support was fatal to any candidate. It has company now in the great moral institution, the dispensary. Candidates &KV 'r had best fight shy of dispensary friends PJ.-. in future. We do hope that our voters will take an interest in the coming general elec&v* * tion for it is very important that each wntAr fro to the polls and cast his ballot tIfor the Democratic nominees. There may ' be a Republican candidate for congress, and it is essential that a full Democratic ote be polled. \ * Some of our brother editors failed to understand our references to dirty politics in the recent primaries. Our remarks were not meant to apply to Bamberg county, but to the State generally. Elections in this county are as clean as anywhere in the State, and we never hear of any charges of fraud or corruption in county politics. But from many counties in the State came reports of fraud, corruption, * bribery of voters, the use of whiskey and money, and at several places contests were carried before the executive committees. This led to the paragraph, and we here reiterate every word of it. There it no doubt but that the primary in South Carolina is corrupt, and there should be a change. It fails of its purpose in one I* respect at least, for it is a fact, which jio one can successfully dispute, that the best men are not being elected to office. Will anybody say that, as a rule, from the ; ...highest to the most humble position, as capable men fill the offices of South Carolina as those who held them prior to 1890? We aO DOl IX11DK. so, iur cvcly vuc ww ||y Tersafit with affairs must admit that the m:v standard for public servants has been lowered. From United State Senators, congressmen, State officers, members of Sip;':. the general assembly, and on down to |l|? the county offices, men generally are W,/ father conspicious because of their lack pfc- of ability. Of course we do not mean to P|{ include all officials. "We have many brainy and honest men in office, but they are the exception, not the rule. The P|: mason for this is very plain. Many men gilt will not subject themselves to the ordeal Rb of a dirty political campaign in order to jf|- serve their State. No man's character is Be*"' safe if he enters politics, and they will Kg ' not wade through-the mud and filth of a 8p'/' primary. Our idea is that we had better S|? k return to the convention plan of nomip| ' sating, for a while at least. Attempts are Kb being made all the time to purify the Ieystem, laws are passed each year to this end, and yet conditions grow worse. The dispensary iiffluence has heretofore been a powerful factor in South Carolina politics. There is little doubt but that it has completely dominated the general assembly, and in State and county contests the fellow who had the dispensary influence behind him generally won out. If we are to judge by results this year, the day for the dispensary to control State politics is past. This inference can be drawn from the overwhelming defeat of L. J. Williams for congress and John G. Jfobley for railroad commissioner. Mr. Williams ran on his record as liquor commissioner, and there is no question but that the dispensary was behind John G. Mobley. And that's what defeated them both. We would not for a moment detract from Mr. Earle. We supported p& in the second primary, dui we nrmiy gp):\ believe that had not the dispensary forces {S|v been enlisted in Mobley's behalf, he would have beat Earle hands down. If we are gr k: V- correct in this and the day has really come |?V in South Carolina when it is fatal to have |??." the support of the dispensary, then a Ijy. glad time has come and there is reason Bs for rejoicing. Certain it is when a man is labeled dispensary candidate, the great mass of the voters will oppose him. There is a feeling of unrest and dissatisfaction' among them, they feel that things are not |p-- going right, and they look with suspicion &. upon those who hope to get office from J V;. dispensary influence. Whether this feel* ing will extend to the legislature, we cannot say. But in many counties men were elected who pledged themselves to favor the Brice bill. It remains to seem whether ' we will have any anti-dispensary legisla- i tion at the coming session. Heretofore it was impossible to do anything in the j| * general assembly?the dispensary forces were too strongly entrenched. Free wkis.key, cigars, opera tickets and presents of various kinds it is said were ireeiy distributed at each session, and too many members could not resist these favors. Whe.her we will have a repetition of this, remains to be seen, but we hope not. We have in hand at last the history of. x' Springtown church, but our space is"too j crowded to publish it this week. fv;. ' irV - ' ' t % ~ fei:' Since the matter of the pardon of Williamson, the Greenwood county man who made a negro hold a white man named Wertz while he horsewhipped him, is being discussed by some newspapers, we want to say that the governor, in our opinion, made a mistake. The man should have served the sentence imposed by the law. As long as criminals are treated with so much leniency we may expect much lawlessness. This case was an aggravated one, and Williamson richly deserved to serve out his sentence. EMERGENCY MEDICINES. It is a srreat convenience to have at hand reliable remedies for use in cases of accident, injuries and ailments. A good liniment and one that is fast becoming a favorite if not a household necessity is Chamberlain's Pain Balm. By applying it promptly to a cut, bruise or burn it allays the pain and causes the injury to heal in one-third the time usually required, and as it is an antiseptic it prevents any danger of blood poisoning. When Pain Balm is kept at hand a sprain may betreated before inflammation sets in, which insures a quick recovery. Sold by Bamberg Phar; H. C. Rice, Denmark. Farmers' Institute. Clemson College, S.

The pills that are potent in action and pleasant in effect are DeWitt's Little Early Risers. W. S. Philpot, of Albany, Ga., says: "During a bilious attack I took one. Small as it was it did me more good than calomel, blue mas9 or any pill I ever took and the effect was pleasant. Little Early Risers are an ideal pill." Sold by H. F. Hoover. FARMS FOR SALE.
