Of Hie general laws of the State, upon the su bloc I of wirti, is known US th" whiskey I ra file, There should lu uni erm laws reg?lala;; tho mu nicipal affairs Ol South Citrollna. This partial legislation enforces on the people of this County an election on tln> Kith instan) on Hie subject of Prohibition within the limits of Laurens County. U o side of this question has been lar gely discussed throughout our ?.or ders; those who favor tho aillrma Ivo hilve in public meetings throughout the County, presented an ex parte exposition of the reas ons why the Murray Act should bo made n law for all our people; not Uti organized volco luis boen raised against it; mensures of great con sequence shoo ol be discussed tie fore a people who are tn be uilVct eil by their consoqueiices.
