A few months ago our people W*fi> "down in the inou'h" over Lancaster's business outlook. S'?me said the town was ruined, an ! oliters said thev would leave it if they con d. M ?nv of our fanners got. 'he nou-m into ili?*ir head** that they couhl do better marketing their crop and huvino their goods in other p aces, and consequently much of the cotton grown in this county was marketed at other points. All were alike blue over the consolidation of the principal mercantile estahli-hmentsof iho town. The consolidation 1ms resulted in the establishment of three large concerns heie. the Lancaster Mercantile Go , with a capital slock of $100,000 00 ; tlio 1 lc.it h Ruikin^ & Mercantile* Co. with a capital stock of $50,000 00, and 1110 CIyburn-1 leath Mule Co, with $i0,000.00 capital stock. So that instead of the business of the town heinjr rim l?v one concern, as the people were at one time afraid, we now have two strong mercantile establishments that are in no way connected, hut will he stroller CO | II pet i t < r to sell you your maids and to h||V Voin COt ton. .\ho three larje sale st iIdes i inclu linur t hat of Mot t tfc ("raw fori I, that are aide to extend such accom iii'dali <ns as inanv ol our people will need, and they will he stout competitors in the sale o! mules and horses, warons, hit ir tries and harness.

Whiskey would be u-ed in the election a* it never wa* before, and ever\ man whose vote could be bought bv a few drinks of liquor would he carried lor the barroom plan. But we have but little fear that the 'e.'isl dure will medd'e wi<h the di pensarv, save to make some slight but important amendments. The man who <1 ?e* not bo'ieve ?h't the dispensary plan is the best solution ol the liquor question ever tried in this State is hard to convince. Tiu**, there have been some uir'y work by some ot the dispensary officials, but that is no argument against the law. The tiling to do is to put such men as some we have had. on thh shelf an 1 let 'hem slay there, and put jio?h1 hones' men in tin ir I places.
