April 27.—Special: Editor Press and Standard—As there has beet! so much said aud done about out* recent election. I cannot refrain from saying something about it. I mean the wholesale buying and selling of votes. For a man to pe!l his vote, is to •ell his citizepchip ar.d his honor, bis birthrighf—and the rtsn that buys vo>^ Is but little better than the oitf selling. Both,“together will giyt)' undermine ubU government of .-6urs. I fnd two elements in this rmunty. Firs r . the tender of mone% to the poor and uninformed voter; few men v.il! stop and think what it means ic sell his vote. With money in ihe hands of coirupt and unreli able -tnfiTVhunnfug politicians, U a problem that must be solved fooher or later for the prot»<tft)u*of our political and civic risga::.. ~iT the uio^ey in this county ir. no*, widely exaggerated and the nKtl>od> used by white nieu arucug them- <« hos are honc.he lenl court, there was general satisfaction expressed here not, bnly by South Carolinians who^k^ew Justice Woods but by others who know his high standing end legal attainments. • Of the members of the South Caro lina delegation in congress who have spoken for Justice Woods there was but one opinion—that the president could not possibly ha'e made a better or. more satlufactry appoint ment. They have worked for him from the start and never ceased to believe that he would receive the In dorsement of President Wilson, as the matter, terr.iir.ute’d today, when iiis nomination was made public.

The public is cordially It is sot the purpose of this »r- tttlo to Uko m position in favor of tr prohibition or dispensary, aad thing will he said la it wbcb can give aay one the improsaion that Tbs Pproas aad Staadard it committed to either aide. As wo view It this mat ter is purely for the people of Col- letoa to deride, and, kDqjrtng tbs conditions tbst exist gs the people here alone can knew them, we do not see where sfgument I* ne<>«**ary either pro er con. y' It Isur known fact that the enforte- of the prohibition law in t'ol- in County ts very Ineffchsive to those w ho would trafilc in Jlquor*. I Blind tigers so^ms to thrive at every corner in the town and every cross road ' In the countrwy. There fore, something must be done to redeem Colleton County and her reputation as a law abiding county. It Is the duty of the people to con sider whether the re-estahHahnsent of a dispensary will remedy the con ditions which now exist. If the voters think that s dispensary would break np the blind tigers, that no mors whiskey will be consumed with a dispensary than without tt. that the revenue from the sale of whiskey Is aad that prohibition cannot be dpforcod, then It it their duty to votw (er the re-establishment of the dispensary system. On the other hand, if they believe coadtiioas are better now than in the days of the old diepeeaery. that leaa liquor' (s heiag used, that conditio as are im- prwriag rather than growing worse, and that an effective sentiment in the public for the 'enforcement of the c liquor lews can he worked up. then It .is their duty to vote for prohibition. - We take the poaitkn. howevet. that an election should be held on this subject. If the majority of the people of the county arc in favor of prohibition, and will vote for it. then the law can be enforced, for it is the duty of every man *ho votes for prohibition to aid in its enforce ment. It is claimed that public sentiment Us nut against the sale of wniskey. How else can it be de termined than by an election? If Whiskey wins, let’s take it as the sentiment of the county and enforce the dispensary laws. If prohibition wins, let’s take It as the. sentiment '•of the county and enforce the prohi- .bition laws. But above gll. lot’s fine where we are. Are we as a county In favor of prohibition? If . so let’s break up the blind tigers. New, in oar opinion, there is a popular fallacy prevalent among the people. That is. that the officers are set doing their duty as they should. ,.1* ■ay be.true that le a few in stance# the officers are not doing what they osght. hot do not forget that so government Is better than the people whfdi compose it; that taw la hot the eeatlmeat of the cHlsene ■ of the county, end that the offioare of the taw ere hut the agents of the people is carrying out the eeatlmeat of the voters. The officers, so to spook, ere purely fooMl; the ree- '« ponslhillty roots upon the* people. If taw Is to be enforced, the People must enforce it; not appoint certain men «• officers, than withdrew aad criticise .far neglect of duty not deny this wifetched truth. The w hole thing is a summons to society. It is demoralizing to the church and it atill drags down tire fair name..gnd the dignity of this once proivd and grand did State of ours. I hope her banner will once more pe un furled to the hreese and t&at again she will take her place in the States as in years gone by. G. W. Way. What They Say It Cost. Columbia. 8.
