METHODIST S. S. CONFERENCE
THE STATE CAMPAIGN
Upon motion of ^ C Hiera the candi
dates for magistra’e ioi the varioua
townships of the county were required to
run in the primary. Broxion township
is to elect one, W arren one, Bella one,
escept Tiger Creek, Heyward one, Sheri
dan and Glover with Verdler vote
at Sidney one, Blake and Lownds one.
The precinct of Horae Fen. Tiger Creea
end Peeples are to elect one, Fraser one,
Wolfe Creek, Walterboro and Kit ter one,
Younga island one, Adams Run and
haveoeione, Hickory Hill and Warrens
Cross Roads one. A resolution was
adopted provlcing that no voter living in
one,township could be allowed to vote
lor a magistrate in another township
other then stated above.
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.
J he county campaign will open at
Bolder* Aug Utb, and will continue as

Adam* Ron August 23,
Walterboro August 25.
A resolution waa also adopted allowing
itch board of managers of the several
>r*cincta five dollars as compensation

ISO, Auditor $30, Supervisor $33, Probate
udge $10, Superintendent of Education
1.x), County Commissioner $10, Magis*
rate, each candidate $3 00.
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.

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.
