[Saturday, September lO, ISPS. EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WOULD. Well ! Well !! Wonders never cease. The News and Courier, Charleston's mouth piece, has de clared lor prohibition and advises its readers to vote for Featherstonc next Tuesday. It is really ludicrous. Charleston and the News and Courier voting lor prohibition ! If they wanted prohi bition why did they not vote for Featherstone in the lirst primary Only -15 votes were polled for him in that election in the entire city of Charleston?only 15 people that wanted prohibition. Schumpert who was an advocate of high license y;ot D-J) votes in Charleston and Ceo. I). Tillman, also an advocate of the high ii cense plan and a bitter opponent of the dispensary, got 1-I> votes in that city, which makes 1.077 cast for high license. That is what it means. For Fllerho and Watson Charleston east only votes, which means, of course, that Charleston is opposed to the dispensary. They are still more opposed to real prohibition, as only 45 voted for that, as already indicated. Then why on earth has Charles ton's mouth piece made such a complete change,?turned such a somersault Simply to down the dispensary, nothing less. Charleston fears nothing from prohibition, with only 45 men in the city in favor of it from heart. How could a law be enforced with such a public soul uncut as that i It can't lie done and Charleston knows it. In addition to that, Charleston will turn up in 1000 advocating high license, just what she voted for in the recent primary. The dispensary would then be out <?f the way, if Feat herst one was elected, and prohibition would b?> the last thing Charleston would want. Think of it ? 1." people in Charleston believe in prohibition, and yet Charleston will vote for prohibition ! With the News and Courier it is anything to down the dispensa ry. It will even undertake to en dure two years of prohibition. If you want to help the ii<juor ....... ciwl ?i,.. :.. i .... int ii in*- uu i ju i i"i n in ii.ii rooms, just voto for prohibition.
