RR0HIBITION WINS tSWEEPING VICTORY WAJORITY OF MORE THAN TWO TO ONE FAVORS PRO HIBITION. TWO COUNTIES OPPOSE IT Charleston and Dorchester Vote For Local Option-Law Becomes Ef fective January 1, 1916. Statewide prohibition will take ef fect in South Carolina January 1, 1916. At the pools the people of the state, by a majority of more- than two to one, voted to substitute statewide pro hibition for the present system of lo cal option between the county dis pensary and prohibition. Only two counties appear to have gone against statewide prohibition Total........ 35,542 15,151 percentage in favor of retention of the present system, and Dorchester, which finally has given a small major ity against statewide prohibition. All the other dispensary counties voted for statewide prohibition, sev eral by sweeping majorities, and all the dry counties went in favor of a statewide law, the only ones in which ton void decidedly against state Ing Horry, where prohibition has a slight majority, and Berkeley, where the vote appears too slight to count for much. In all the vote probably will total between 55,000 and 60,000 or less than half the vote in the Democratic sen atorial primary last year. This, how ever, is considerably in excess of the normal vote at general elections.

Of all the counties, only Charles wide prohibition. In that county, ae cordling to complete returns, the vote against prohllbition wvas near-ly ten times that In favor- of the state wideo law. Thle upcountry counties, led by bIpartanb~urg, tnlued in sweeping ma jorities for- prohibition, Sppr::an, .burg's margin for the state-widle law being more than 2,000. In the P'e Dee, wvhile the vote was smailler, the general trend was the same, most of the counties giving strong majorities in favor of State-wide pr-ohibition. In York not a pr-ecinct gave a ma jorIty for local option andl twvo, Ebe nezer and McConnellsville, registered solidly for prohibition. At Bamber-g two boxes were provided, voters being unable to conceal thoir choice. In Lancaster four boxes wvere unanimous ly for prohlbition and four cast only .one vote against it. Only one pre cinct, tha-t of the Lancaster cotton mill, voted wvet, the vote there being 68 against prohibition and 48 for it, Only one precinct gave a majority against prohibition in Florence coun ty. The towns of Saluda gave large majorities In favor of prohibition, Aiken Votes Prohibition. Aiken.--Practically complete returns indicate that Aiken, one of the dispon sary counties, has voted overwhelm ingly, about live to one, for prohibi tion Twenty-flye out of 32 boxes give for prohibitIon 1,040, against pro hibition 326. County boxes yet to hear from are small and will not ma terially affect the result. Some str-ik ing features stand out in the Aiken vote, aside from the fact that every where the balloting has been extreme ly light. The vote in the clay v~as 218 for prohibition and 44 against FOR BIG TEXTILE EXPOSITION Meeting at Greenville November 26 Will Attract Many Visitors-40,000 Feet of Floor Space. Grenville.-The Southern Textile exposition, ' the first textile exposition of its kind ever held in the south, will be held in Grenville, November 2-6, inclusive. This exposition will compare very favorably with the great textile exhibitors' association, which holds the greatest textile. show in the world, biennially in Boston. Forty thousand square feet of floor space has been provided for the exhibitors. and practically all of this or about 35, 000 square feet, have been contracted for. The exhibitors include the tex tile exhibitors' association, the var ious trade papers of the south and other sections and nearly all of the leading machinery and textile supply houses of the country. The executive committee, having in charge the plans for the exposition, have ben forced to enlarge time and again the quarters for the gathering. Conservative estimates state that about 5,000 visitors will come to Greenville for this exposition. All hotel space of the city will be taken, the Chicora college dormitories will be filled, the Chick Springs hotel may re-open for the time, all boarding houses will be filled, and even then it will be necessary to quarter some of the visitors in private homes. The exposition is self-supporting. This exposition was planned, fol lowing unsuccessful efforts to get the Boston show to come south. Machin ery men have never before had an opportunity to display their w-res in this section and the readiness with which they have seized 1pon the op portunity has been very gratifying to the local textile men. It is possible, even probable, that this show will become a biennial event, and that Greenville will be selected as the per manent home for the Southern Textile Exposition, just as Boston is for the great show of the north and east. Ef forts to this end will be made. The board of governors of the American Cotton Manufacturers' as sociation will hold their fall meeting in Greenville during the exposition. This meeting has been called by Scott Maxwell, president. The per sonnel of the organization includes the leading mill men of the south and many from other sections of the country. Death Claims Coker President. Hartsville.-The Rev. loward Lee Jones, D. D., president of Coker col lege, died in a hospital at Florence. The well known educator had been in Iii health for several months and had sought rest and treatment away from home, hoping to recover before the beginning of the new college session on September 23. Following a de. cline a few days ago he was taken to a hospital in Florence, but his frail constitution could not respond. The body was brought to Hartsville and the funeral was in the auditorium of Coker college. The services were conducted by the Rev. E. V. Baldy, D D., pastor of the First Baptist church of Hartsville, assisted by the Rev. Dr Sewers, pastor of the First Baptisi church of Florence. By request of Dr. Jones, interment was at the Firsi Baptist church. Big Pouitry Show.

AD TO CAPITAL DURING WAR YEAR WATSON GATHERS DATA ON TEXTILES. HOPEFUL MES4 SAGE FOR STATE. DISPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of South Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capitol. Columbia. At this time when so much stress is being laid on the question of con sumption of cotton by the American textile plants, the completion of the census of the textiles in South Caro lina for the past year running exactly with the period of the first year of the great European war is of peculiar interest. The results of the census have been issued by Commissioner Watson of the state department of agriculture, commerce and industries. Commissioner Watson, in speaking of the report, said: "These figures have an important bearing on the cotton situation at this moment as they tell the story of how our chief manufacturing industry has fared since the war began, and they carry a message full of hope from the standpoint of the cotton market this year and of our commercial and in dustrial future. The figures cover the first year of the war and the compari sons are with figures for the year, period up to the outbreak of the world war. "There has been an increase of $2, 106,703 in the capital stock of the plants, the total now being $75,134,189, and up to August 1 there were 4,708, 414 spindles-very nearly 5,000,000, an increase of 87,549 spindles, despite the year of the war. We have now 113,168 looms of 2,497 more than a year ago. The consumption of cotton by the South Carolina mills has al most reached the million bale mark; during the first year of the war 857, 434 bales or 29,066 bales more than the preceding year were consumed. Over half a million tons of coal were used-567,031, which was 123.315 more than in the preceding year. The value of the annual product, however, as was to be expected, fell off, the total being $77,945,255. or $6,663,930 less than In the preceding year. The total number of employes is now 51,485, an increase of 1,548 persons, and the mill village population is now 126,746, which is 5,786 larger than last year. The principal increase in number of employes has ben in white women. There are 273 less negro men and women than last year, the total ne gro help employed now being only 2, 898. In the employment of child labor the situation is about the same as last year, but the bulk of the children are above 14 years of age, Those between 12 and 14 now only number 3,518 out of a total of 8,450. There has been a marked increase in horsepower em ployed, the increase being 18,677. The power is divided as follows: Water, 26,650; steam, 80,792; electr-ic gen eratedl by water, 73,383; electric gen erated by steam, 13,160. Darlington to Send Delegation., Gov. Manning will likely deal with rur-al credlits in his annual message to the general assembly. This is the fir-st intIimnation of the matter-s that the govet-nor intendls to call to the atten tion of the lawmaker-s. Gov. Mlanning has been studying the question for a long timein and is looking about for- the best suggestions to be made to the lawinakers. WVhile in Washington G;ov.

Trhe UTniversity of South Carolina will nugurate exiension work on a bronad and compr~tehensive scale. The step has been decided upon by the uni ver-siiy ti-ustees and officials after a careful study of best methods used in other- sections of the United States. A cottiplete announcement of various courtses is contained in a bulletin is suted fr-om the office of William S. Currell. Tihe bulletin was prepared by Reed Smith. chairman; Josiah Morse, G~eorge McCutchen, James E. Mills and~ M. Goode Homes. Grants Parole to Robert Kennells. Gov. Manning graated a parole dur ing good behavior to Robert Kennells, 1 young white man convicted at the )ctobe-r 1914 termi of court in Green woond (-ounty, before Judge Sease, and mentenced to serve 15 months on the pubhlic works of Greenwood county This is the same case In which tihe governor, on August 3, last, granted a parole for 10 (lays for the purpose if allowing the prisoner to visit his inother, who was at the time very il1. rhe prisoner returned to the chain rang promptly. Medical Reserve Corps Organized. For the purpose of securing a re serve cors of medical officers avail able for military service, Gov. Man ning has appointed the following phy sicians in the medical reserve corps of the national guard: A. W. Brown. ing of 11lloree, H. H. Harris of An derson, W. Buck Sparkman of Green ville, d. H. Pervis of Cheraw, Henry Deas of Charleston, Henry P. Moore of Orangeburg, Henry W. deSaussure of Charleston, James II. Hunter of Spartanburg, George V. Beck of Hartsville, Charlton M. Tripp of Pel zer, James R. Sanders of Anderson and John M .Bearden of Lauren:). The commission confers upon the holders all the authority, rights and privileges of commissioned officers of the imedical corps except promotion, but only when called on active duty. In emergencies the adjutant gen eral. upon the recommendation of the chief surgeon of the state, may order out officers of the medical reserve corps, in sucI numnbers as the public interest may require, and relieve them when their services are no longer ro (tuired. To each town where a ilitary mo panty is located and at wlhic h there is no officer of the medical corps, the governor has assigned an officer of the medical reserve corps, for the pur pose of examining applicants for en listment and officers promoted to a higher grade. Under the plan Inau gurated by the adjutant general, un less a man can pass the physical re (luirements laid down by the war de. partment, he will be refused admis sion to the ranks of the national guard. It is believed that this plan will increase the efficiency of the na tional guard. Baptist Elect A. J. Bethea.

Colunbia.-After one week's idle ness the full service of Columbia's street cars was started ip again, the strike of the employees having ended when carmen and officials reached a complete and satisfactory agreement. The agreement closes the second strike on the street railway system since Its organization. Leaders of both sides say that the agreement would prevent trikes in the future, as diffi culties will be submitted to arbitra. tion. The dismissal of J. W. Brunswick and C. II. Mc Kissick, conductors, scw. eral da ys ago precipitated the strike. The 'nion1 contended that evidence furnished by inspectors was not si- hil cilent to cause the discha rge of the board of directors, Itnd the action of the general manager in discharging the men was there sustained, altthough the directors reinstatvl two 1ona who had been suspended because of dif. fel'ences with al inspector.

Makes Rapid Headway Kidney disease often advance s rapidly that many a person is firn in its grasp before aware of its progress. Prompt attention should'be given the slightest symptom of kidney disorder. It there is a dull pain in the back, headaches, dizzy spells or a tired, worn out feeling, or if the kidney secretions are offensive, irregular and att nded by pain, use Doan's Kidney Pis at once. No other kidney medicine is qp well-recommended. A South Carolina Case T,. W. Garrison, 1510 8. Main St., PEvtry Anderson, S. C., says: "I was in Tells" terrible shape with s r" kidney trouble.
