(Manning Star.) Prohibition in Cherokee county, the first of the counties to vote out the dispensary under the Brice law, seems to be somewhat disappointing in its effects on law' and order, judging from recent newspaper re ports. For a while after the dispen sary was voted out the anti-dispen sary people kept sending out news paper reports, stating that the people were perfectly delighted with the dry conditions, but it seems that the change from the dispensary brand to that of the blind tigers and the moonshiners has not. after all. proved to be a great improvement. One urday night the mayo# of Gaffney, the county seat, engaged in a street light. Of course this fight may not; have been due to the use of whiskey j of any kind: the report of the fight does no State but if there had been a dispensary in this county, the cause would have been attributed bv the anti-dispensary organs to “fuss X.’’ And at Mabry's mill in the s.ime coun ty on Saturday morning the county campaign meeting was entirely brok en up by ‘ a general fight, in which about fifty knives were drawn, bats and coats being promiscuously slash ed. “No one was seriously hurt.’’ “There was no more speaking after the fp’ht. though several of the coun tv candidates were to have spoken. The sheriff and other peace officers were on the grounds, but w'ere unable, it is said, to make any arrests, except that Fowler was placed under ar rest.” This is too bad for a prohibition coun’y. It would almost seem that those people knew where the moun tain stills w-ere located before they voted out the dispensary, or is it that dispensary whiskey is being brought in from dispensary counties? At anv rate, it is not likely that conditions in Cherokee will be pointed to to illus trate the beneficent effects of the operation of the Brie- law. Jno. Hendrix Held Claiming Insanity.

Only choice selections of this well- matured, thoroughly cured leaf are used in SCHNAPPS and others of the high-grade Reynolds brands, and expert tests prove that this tobacco requires and takes a smaller amount of sweetening than any other kind, and has a wholesome, stimulating and satis fying efTect on chewers.

A large audience was present and gave voci ferous evidence of approval. The entertainment consist of a reg ular minstrel first part, succeeded by an olio. In the former, four good comedians participated, assisted by chorus and orchestra. James Crosby iu ‘I Don’t Know Where I’m Going, but I’m on My *■ Way’ provoked the strongest marks of hilarious apprecia tion and he was ably assisted by John Rucker, in ‘All Wise Chickens Follow Me,’ and Charles Williams in The Sun am Shining, Why Don’t You Go.’ The most effective songs of a sentimental nature were ‘I Wonder How the Old Folks Are at Home,’ by H. S. Wootson, and ‘Old Black Joe’ by L. E. W. Banks. “The principal feature of the olio was Mack Allen, a slack wire perform er. This work challenged compari son with the best, several of his tricks having the merit of novelty. The Toney Trio put up an interesting acro batic number, John Rucker appeared in some of his characteristic songs and dances. Williams and Stevens furnished some music and comedy under the guise of a sketch, ‘A Part ner Wanted,’ and Campbell Brothers contributed the usual colored walk ing gentlemen act. The whole show was bright, with plenty of broad com edy, and the vocal feature are ren dered with spirit.” At the solicitation of friends i an nounce myself a candidate for the of fice of Magistrate of Draytonvillj Township subject to the Democratic primary.
