The following resolution wae offered by D L Smith and adopted: “Recognizing the truth that righteous citizenship is the true foundation of every Commonwealth, and realising that purity in politics and honesty in eiectkna is tbe etseutial pre requisite thereto, and having the best interest of our people at heart, be it, therefore, resolved by the Democratic Executive Committee for Colleton County:’* That it Is the earnest desire of this corn- committee that the whole people unite with ua in making the approching politi cal campaign in Colleton county one of honesty, purity and truth, and that all unfair, degrading and unmanly conduct or practices on the part of any candidate, or voter be heartily condemned. And especially is it the sense of this committee that the use by any candidate or yoter of money or whiskey in further ance of his or their political ends and interests be not only heartily condemned, but also sufficient reason for every righteous citizen to cast his ballot against the election ot such candidate or candidates. And finally, that it is the request of this committee that every citizen unite in the determination to enforce to the letter the recent Act of our Legislature in regard to the use of money or whiskey in elec- lions.” The chairman with D L Smith and P M Murray were appointed a committee to make arrangements for the entertain ment of the State candidates at the campaign meeting to be held in Waller* boro to-morrow, the 21'st.

Vote for Good Men. Editor Press and Standard. It will not be long before the primary election will decide who will be sue cessful candidates for the several offices of county and SUte. One question: How can we select our best men!*' On all moral questions our voters should select or vote for only such men as will ommit themselves, especially on such an issue as this immoral institution, the dispensary corruption and fraud has followed its trail. We should know from our jeaders if they will stand for what will promote, enlighten and.bless our people or align themselves on the side of corruption and vice. We should have leaders both in county and btate that work for onr beet moral interest. If we could get men, such as Lyon aud Christensen for governor and lieutenant governor and men of snch.stamp to represent us in the State house, fraud, corruption and the feathering nest dispensary would not be tolerated.

There is going to be a red-hot campaign from present indications Tffiite Chairman Wilie Jones RATHER HAVE THE DISPENSARY. Letter From J. B. D. Editor Frees and Standard: Your correspondent, “Cabin Boy,” call* for me, wishing to know where I am and what I am doing. 1 appreciate the compliment he throw* in this direction and hesten to come with my apology, but really I hate no ex cuse to offer except that I have been so wrapped in interest in the theo logical discussion between Messrs Hiott and Caldwell that I had en tirely forgotten that I had any duty to perform bat last a looker-on. 4 These gentlemen are making a good fight. They have an important subject and it is no discredit to either oi 4 them that they differ. I have known 1), D’s to differ on subjects of less importance. “Is (rod the author of evil?” With Mr Caldwell for the affirmative and Mr Hiott for the negative. I am trying to look on as impar tially as possible and occupy the neutral ground, expressed in p little verse which i learned when a child: ‘•God made man and man made money, “God made bees and bees made honey, “God made satan and satan made sin, “God made a hole to put satan in.*’ Yes gentlemen, you are making a good fight and the readers of The Press and Standard are enjoying it and there is abundant material in the Bible upon which to base your argu ment on both sides. But allow me modestly, to warn you against an error into which newspaper discussions are apt to drift. Men are apt to drop the subject nnder discussion and begin discuss ing each other. Guard against this,’ for it causes the reading public to lose interest and you are left to dis- enss each other alone. If you know anything bad about the other fellow keep it to yourself, for others know it already, and if yon know anything good about him save it to pot in hia obitnary, when you shall have drowned him in ink. ' Mr Editor, do you hear of any sunshine coming this way? Where are all the weather prophets, do they mean to drown us out entirely? If there was one in Glover township he would have to do like Elijah, hide out until he gvve us better weather. The outlook for a good crop is most encouraging, but we do not know what the effect of this flood will be. J.B.D. , Friday, July 13—Morning Session. 11 a. m.—Devotional exercises.
