LEO ! SUTI)RE Will
BE ANTI-DISPENSARY
VIEWS OF LEADING POLITICAL
WRITER IN THIS STATE.
Both the Senate and House Will
Contain a Majority of Members
Who Are Anti Dispensary.
Aukiihi Kohn, the well-known Co-
lumbLa correspondent, on Friday said:
There is naturally a deal of
Interest in the make-up of the next
legislature. Some of the dispensary
papers are already saying that it
makes no difference who is elected
governor or attorney general, the
fate of the dispensary law is with the
general assembly. This is correct.
Then they go on to claim the senate
beyond a doubt, and Insist that the
house will he pro-dispensary. Even
papers that take no particular side for
some reason incline to the view that
Ihe senate is favorable to the dispen
sary. The fact of the matter Is that
the views of some of the senators are
not fully known, hut it Is altogether
more likely that the senate will be
against the dispensary system—that
is ittff State dispensary—than In its
favor.
morning, for instance. Senator*]
Bates was put down in a list as being
in favor of the dlspensar.'. He voted
with the advocates of the Morgan bill
and was regarded during the session,
and Is now regarded, as being op
posed to the State dispensary in view
of his advocacy of the Morgan bill.
Senatoreleet Hayne, of Berkeley,
Is an avowed and announced oppon
ent of the State dispensary. He fa
vors county dispensaries. In Pickens
county an antl-dlspensary candidate
Is to be elected, whichever way the
vote goes, whether to Carpenter or
Robinson, as both are now against
the State dispensary. Mr. Carpenter
at the last session held different views
to those he has advocated on the
stump. Senator Bivens rather In
clines to the county dispensary nlan,
hi« county having gone fo r Ansel
since his election to the senate.
But leaving out any question of
doubt the status In the senate, from
an antl-dlspensary standpoint, looks
like this. The hold over senators who
are and have been against the State
dlanensarv are:
1. Mauldin.
2. Carlisle.
3. Brooks.
4. Bales.
6. Christensen. ,
. 6. Talbert.
' 7. Holiday
8. Brice.
Now take the newly elected sena
tors:
1. Slnkler, Charleston.
2. Sullivan, Anderson.
3. Hayne. Berkeley.
4. Otts, Cherokee.
5. Hardin, Chester.
P». MeKefthan, Darlington.
7. Smith. Hampton.
8. Williams, I^ancaster.
9. Bass. Williamsburg.
10. Bates, Sumter.
Eight hold-over senators and ten
new senators against the State dis
pensary make eighteen. That ought
to be plain. Then there are elections
yet to be held in Saluda, Marlboro
and Clarendon and In each of these
three contests the anil-dispensary
candidate stands as good a chance as
hi opponent.
Senator Griffin, of Colleton, is put
down by some as a dispensary ad
vocate. and is not listed above. Peo
ple from Colleton county say that
such is not the case. His views have
not been heard personally, but the re
ports from Colleton are that he favors
county dispensaries, as his people
have voted.
It ought, with these facts, to be easy
t »ee that the dispensary folk have
not the majority in the senate about
which they prate.
Now since the election of the hold
Uvoj a
sary, there have been expressions of
the people and Dorchester and a lot
of other counties, with senators here
tofore favorable to the dispensary,
have gone for Ansel, and the senators
are keen to appreciate the sentiment
of their people. ♦
Senator Raynor, Senator McGowan,
Senator Walker, and other of thq
strongest leaders of the disnensary
forces in the senate, realize the situ
ation and dangers of the. dispensary,
and rather than lose the system for
their home counties and incidentally
the profits for their counties, they
are going to fall Into line for county
dispensaries rather than longer take
chances, and with If the dangers of
further uprising on the part of the
voters and the nosslbilitv of losing
even countv dispensaries.
Now juat another word. It Is rot
to talk about the house being favor
aide to the dispensary. With no deft
nlte information as to the stand of
tin members from Beaufort, Colleton,
or Haluda, it Is a fact that the anti
dispensary strength of the members
already elected is a clear-cut major
ity for the auti-dlsnenHury advocates.
With the elections that are yet to be
held and taking only even chances of
the pending elections in Aiken. Bam
berg, Barnwell, Berkeley. Ch'ster-
fleld. Clarendon, Greenville, Green
wood, Horry, Lexington, Marlboro,
Pickens, Richland and York counties,
the hoUHc ought easily to have a clean
majority of thirty-five against the
State dispensary.
There have been already fifty-one
antl-dlspensary men elected to the
house—this does not count an/ one
from Beaufort, Colleton or Saluda,
nor does It count the possibilities in
the elections in such counties as
Greenville. York, Richland, Pickens
or other counties. The anti-dispensa
ry folks can now count fifty-one mem
bers'elected and In good standing,
ready for the fray next winter, while
In the cases where there have been
actual elections the dispensary ad
vocates have forty members. The
difference between the ninety-one
members and the full membership of
124 is accounted for by the elections
to be held in ten days’ time and in
the three counties from which exact
information is not yet available.
With even chances in the various
counties where elections are vet to
b'- held, and these include Pickens,
Richland, York, .and other counties,
certain to elect some anti-dispensary
men the house will havo thirty-five
majority against the State dispensary
and the tooting the other way does
not make the votes.
The average man in politics Is as
keen to see the handwriting on the
wall as any one else and while the
dispensary forces have been success
ful In some Instances and are making
much ado about it. It Is nevertheless
a fact that they forget that they have
been fortunate In the personality of
the candidates. In Sumter, for In
stance, Mr. Fraser won because of his
personality. The county is to be re
garded as favoring the dispensarw
kystenl and Mr. Fraser is vigorous
In his opposition to it. So in Orange
burg, a strong dispensary county. Mr.
J. A. Banks, who openly and strongly
favored the Morgan bill, was elected.
Senator Tillman tried to defeat him
and every effort was made to beat
him. but he won.
Florence elected two antl-dlspensa
ry men—Kershaw and Shipp—and it
will be well for the dispensary folk to
remember a lot of such results before
they comment too strongly on the
house delegation from Union and
I-aneaster being favorable to the dis
pensary, and the counties having vot*
ed the dispensaries out.
Some of these dispensary advocates
are going to favor county dispensa-
ries rather than have the State dis
pensary in another campaign—"purl-
fled" or unpurifled.

Negro Kills Two.
Chester, Sept. 4.—Lawson Addison,
colored, killed Matilda McMaster and
Mamie Halsell, also colored, last
night as the trio were on their way
home from church. The tragedy oc
curred in the public road, about one
mile from Lowrysville, in the neigh
borhood of the Dr. Eph Atkinson plan
tation. The McMaster woman who
was Addison’s paramour, and her sis
ter. Mamie Halsell, had gone to the
church contrary to Addison’s orders
and the tragedy followed.
As the members of the congrega
tion were wending their wav home
ward. they were startled by four shots
fired In rapid succession. They at
once went to the spot whence the
shots seemed to come and found the
two women dead. The sheriff and
his deputies were at once summoned
and took the trail but, though they
have been scouring the county all day
long, nothing has been seen of the
fugitive. Addison is a desperate ne
gro and is said to have served a term

Wilkitiaville. Sept. 3.—The twenti
eth anniversary of the great earth
quake passed off last Friday night
without leaving a dread that it would
occur again. Time Is a great molli-
fi'” of troubles.
This season will go Into history as
one of the wettest in the recollect
Ion of our oldest people. The dam
age done to crops by the almost con
tinuous, downpour of rain and over-
llowlng of the streams cannot be fully
estimated until the gathering season
is over.
Some people are always looiking
ahead for trouble. The apprehen
sion now is that with the usual
amount of dry, hot weather much ma
laria will be generated and much
sickness will be the result.
For two or three weeks your cor
respondent has been on the sick list
and unable to attend to the ordinary
duties of life, and in keeping uu with
the current views of the day. A sick
man is fit for nothing else but to be
Kick. This he usually finds unfits him
self for anything else,
The election excitement, which was
a very tame affair, to say the least of
It, passed off without anything past
the unusual, and so far we have heard
very little said either in apnroval or
disapproval of the course of events.
Miss Beatrice Sarratt is teaching
the McCluney school. She is well
thought of as a teacher and her pu
pils understand their work.
We always take pleasure in testing
the boys and girls on their studies
when we have .a chance.
Mr. John Childers, of Hickory
Grove, who went over on Pea Ridge
last Monday, was water-bound at.
Howell’s ferry from Wednesday until
Saturday morning. John said a good
many of the Rldgers tried to fight on
election dav but thev made nothing
out of It. It’s a poor day for the bus
iness when the Ridge can’t get up a
liquor fight, if they have plenty of
free liquor. They come of that kind
of stuff. It is reported that General
Micah Jenkins told General Long-
street the morning before they went
into the battle of the Wilderness—
May fi, 864—that the Pea Ridge com
pany of his (5th) regiment was among
the best fighting material in the army
of Northern Virginia. This is a com
pliment of which not only Pea Ridge
but the State of South Carolina
might be proud of. He did not say it
was the best, but among the b.est
fighting material, which is no reflect
ion on the‘other troups of the State,
or even that part of the army.

As a thrust at the whiskey drink
ing proclivities of the people of Cher
okee county it is reported that the
governor had ordered the express
agent at Gaffne/ not to deliver any
whiskey packages from the express
office on the dav of election, nor the
day after, until all the boxes had been
heard from. Whoever heard of a gov
ernor taking such steps against the
Inter-State commerce law? We sup
poge there may have been enough of

times hilariously joyful without tak
ing such steps against Uncle Sam’s
laws.

Wo can’t believe that this lynching
mania is going on Jn this State wlth-
yiit the connivance of the sheriffs and
fther peace officers whose duty it is
to suppress it. We don’t know what

believe that a prisoner can be taken
from Sheriff W T . W r . Thomas and
Unched before his eyes without
Somebody being kill d. And we don’t

will undertake it. That’s what we
think, and it’s going to take an actual

them finally told her playmate, who
later told her parents, and then the

There was no excitement until Sunday
morning, for nothing had been known
of the outrageous behavior of the ne

Asheville, N. C., Sept. 4.—Rocking
trains on the Asheville division of the
Southern Railroad and firing balls In
to passenger coaches lias recently be
come a favorite pastim of mischiev
oils boys and others on evil bent.
Some one last evening near States
ville took a crack at a cib window
of the engine that pulls train No. 22
from Asheyille to Salisbury, and as a
result Jud Reed, of Asheville, had a
narrow escane from serious injury.
The ball barely missed a vital spot
and embedded Itself in Mr. Reed’s
arm. inflicting a painful though not
dangerous wound. News of the af-
fab* was received here this morning
by Sheriff Reed, a brother of the in
jured. man. Mr. Reed has been in
tl.'* emnloy of the Asheville division
of the Soutli rn as fireman for several
years and recently made iwiplioation
to stand the examination for promo
tion. Mr. Reed was riding in the
cab of the engine and as the train
nulled out of Statesvil’e there was
th-> sound of a pistol crack and in
stant!/ the fireman felt the sting of
the bullet as the lead entered his arm.
Mr. Reed went on to Salisbury, where
the wound was dressed. He tele
phoned Sheriff Reed this morning
that the injury was not serious and
that he would remain in Salisbury
and take the examination for engi
neer’s place.
One day last week some hoys rock

window and bounded against tb? seat

occupying. Mr. Jordan alighted from
the train as quickly as its speed
could be slackened and returning to
the scene found* that the rocking had
been done by two small boys scarce
ly ten years of age. The boys were
taken to their parents, to whom was
recited the incident and the young-
ters were given such a sound thrash
lag that they will think twice before
rocking another train.
ENTIRE TRAIN WRECKED.
Blue Ridg e Passenger Met Disaster
Neap Anderson.
Anderson. Sept. 5.—Blue Ridge pas
senger train No. 12, due *0 leave Am
derson at 4; 22 p. but running
over an hour lice, was completely
wrecked o:.c ruiie above the Ander
son station : 50 this afternoon.
Engineer Maxwell and Conductor
Marshall were In chare- of the train.
The cause of the wreck cannot be
determined tonight, but it was prob
ably due to a defective flange on the
first car. The broken flange must
have got caught on a switch that the
train was passing over.
The entire train left the track with
the exception of the trucks under the
front of the engine. The first car,
which is a box car, used for baggage,
mail and express was throw** up on
an embankment clearing the track,
while the second and third cars
ploughed into the embankment.
There were a great many passeng
ers on board, but miraculously no one
received and serious injury. They
were , well shaken up, however.
It is probable that the track will
not be cleared before tomorrow noon,
as the wrecking train and crew are
beyond the Seneca rjver blow out and
cannot come to the scene of the
wreck. The wrecked train had been
running between Belton and Seneca
river all of today. It has been trans
ferring passengers, etc., at the river.
At a late hour tonight there have
been no attempts made to clear the
wreck. The passengers on board
tool' the Brogan mill trolley cars back
to Anderson and are here tonight.
