CALHOUN COUNTY.
Chief Justice Pope Sci s Aside Gov
ernor Ansel's Order Closing Them
and Throws Them Wide Ope?.
Fly (he grace Of Chief Justice Pop?,
who ix generally on the sido of thc
dispensary in his decisions, tho Cal
houn County dispensaries will be
kept open and the now county will
enjoy tho revenue therefrom. It
will be remembered that Governor
Ansel ordered the dispensaries at St.
Matthews and Kort Motto closed, but
later on Chief Justice Pope issued
an oidor restraining the dispensai les
at those places from closing their
places of business as ordered hy tho
Govorno r.
Tho county dispensary board of
Orangeburg County was not mention
ed in this order, and tho cuesti?n
arose as lo whet lier or riot the hoard
could continue to ship liquors into
Calhoun county under tho provision
ia tho Act creating thc new county
that the dispensaries were to he run
as formerly, before the lo w county
waa formed.
The winde question was to have
come nji before Chief Justice Popo
on Tuesday bm it was postponed, bul
Mr. Webb represent in?; the dispon
Hary i tes of Calhoun seemed another
order from the Chief Justice direct
lug the Orangeburg County hoard io
continue to supply liquors, eic., to
the Calhoun dispensaries until the
further order of the Court. As wm
bo soon from tho order, which is
published in full below, (be board
ia granted "leave lo make slob re
turn herein ?is it may lie advised."
Mr. W elch was in th?' < itv Wednes
day and had u conference with tho
county board relative lo the sit tin -
lion, thc result being satisfactory to
all parties. The board has boon will
ing all along io continuo shipping
whiskey lo the Calhoun dispensaries,
and the places at St. Matthew's and
Fort Motte were ordered closed sole
ly upon Governor Ansel's ophnion
that Calhoun was dry territory lind
bia order to that effect to the board.
No resistance will be made lo .lus
tlce Pope's order on the part of the
board of Ibis county, whic h will con
tinue to have supervision over the
Calhoun dispensaries. The view taken
is that th<? i? .' miitiof affect inn only
will have to take out a wholesale li
cense now that she is selling liquor
by tho wholesale to another count)
it would bo well for the commis
sioners to look Into this unit ter and
lix the price of their liquor according
ly. Aa there is no limit set in Chh'l
Justice Pope's order, we suppose it
will run Indefinitely, arid therefore
the dispensaries ;it St. Matthews and
Kort Motto will be kepi open until
the legislature meets lind the delects
in tho law remedied The, following

Pope:

All Trusts Oppose Bryan.
Thc Times, of Buffalo, N. Y., says
in its opposition to Mr. Bryan the
New York World is in the company
of the Standard Oil trust, the rail
road trust, the sugar trust, the
leather trust, the insurance trust,
the paper trust, thc tobacco trust,
and all other trusta which are prey
ing upon the people .through their
pull with legislatures. It is in the
company of the frenzied financiers
and stock gamblers of / Wall Street,
lt is in the company of all the pre
datory corporations which infest the
country. All of these interests are
opposed to Mr. Bryan. They are
doing all they can to eliminate him
as a candidate and accomplish the
nomination of some man who would
ho their willing tool. The plunder
ers ol* the people know that with Mr.
Brynn in the proisdency they would
rc eive no quarter. Their hope is
that with a 'conservative' in the
chair they would be allowed to ply
their traille at will, lt is very con
genial company for thc World to be
in af it is claimed that its owner has
a great deal ol stock in the various
trusts.)
Why Not Non .'
Thu Ohio republican platform
which the Chicago Record claims
was examined and approved by j
President Roosevelt and Mr. Taft
favors the ''reduction of representa
tion in congress and thc electoral
college in all states of this union
where white and colored citizens are
disfranchised." This is only a sop
thrown to the negro by Roosevelt
and Taft to fool them. They don't
mean what they say. If they do,
then why does not the republican
congress, now in session, proceed
along thc proposed linc? They are
in full control of all the branches of
the government and can pass any
legislation they want to. Then why
wait. As the Commoner says it is
"tomorrow" for tariff revision;
"tomorrow" for currency and bank
ing reform; "tomorrow" for vigor
ous and effective prosecution of
trust magnates. And to thc negro
with respect to the proposition re
ferred to it is "tomorrow" and it
"*omorrow" forever and

interested in a recent issue of the
publication called "Tobacco" and
published in the interest of tho to
bacco trade. Tho editor of "Tobac
co" charges that the New York
World hus deliberately ignored im
portant news, the publication of
which was not desired by the tobac
co trust magnates. This trade pub
lication then asks;
"Can it be that Joseph Pulitzer is
one of the little handful of persons
who hold stock in thc tobacco trust?
Does thc owner of thc World partic
ipate with Duke and Ryan in the
dividends of the concern whose
methods have recently been charac
terized by Colonel Henry Watterson
in the Louisville Courier Journal,
'Those of the pirate, the pickpocket
and the porch-climber.' "
This may account tor the New
York World's great hostility to Mr.
Bryan, lt knows that if he is elec
ted that he will so expose the doings
of thc tobacco trust that its robbery
of the tobacco grower ?viii have to
stop and as a consequence some of
thc ill gotten dividends of the own
er of the World will be cut short.

.?The Best and Only Policy."
Ge< rge Harvey, editor of Harper's
Week'y, reputed to be owned by
.John Pierpont Morgan, made an in
teresting anwer to the New York
World's query, " What is the best
principle and what is the best poli
cy to give the Democratic party
new life?" Here is Mr. Harvey's
answer:
To the Editor of the World: The
host principle: The constitution.
The nex*. best: Tariff for revenue
only. The best and only policy
Heat Bryan. GliOlUJK HARVEY.
No ono is surprised that a man who
edits a newspaper owned by the1
King of Trusts should oppose Mr.
Rryan, Ulis a clear case of "whose
bread I oat whose song Ising" with
Mr. Harvey. Sonic time Inst year
a little presidential boomlel was
launched for Mr. Harvey, but it
soon petered out, and since then he
has been doing all he can to head oft |
thc nomination of Bryan. As Har
per's Weekly like the Now York
World, is only an echo of John
Pierpont Morgan's wishes, its abuse
helps Bryan with honest people.
KNOX'S preeindeital boom don't
seem to be making much headway.
Thc Commoner says it has reached

went oft to dto al the bend of troops.
Th?? band was playing and tho sound
of the trumpets mingled with the
terrible thunder of the wild fusil
lade. Th*1 dying and wounded maui
rians kept falling (the orchestra was
almost exclusively composed of
Jews), bul their comrades (Jews
also* went on playing, and only tho
Interruption of sonic nole Indicated
that snot her musician had fallen,

tho explosion of a shell. Half these
braves had nlready been ??'tr ck when
the heroic priest let his arms fall.
The bullets had not spured him
either, and tho golden eros/ no long
er pointed out to the troops tho sn
orod object of their sacrifice. Is tho
priest dead .' Not yet. One minute
passes. The cross glistens ance
more. The Jewish musicians are sup
porting tlie arms of the enfeebled
Pope. They continue to support film
until all three are PI ruck down. And
durliiK several minnies this extraor

lint the poor fellows were not going
to embark upon a controversy about
Christian dogmas, and they con
tinued to exhibit the cross until they
were mown down In their turn. Thia
Popo with the unpronounceable

who supported him were not lC3S
