GOOD FOR GREENVILLE.
Partial Returns Indicate the Dispensary
Voted Out 3 to I.
Greenville, November 14.?Twenty
of the most important precincts out-of
thirty-eight in the county gave the
dispensary 307 votes in the election
|<Mlay and 738 to prohibition: the city
y . included in this count, where the
majority was even larger than throughout
the cqunty. The vote is exceedingly
light, and will be less in the entire
county than what the city alone
could have polled. There was little
interest apparently in the election, no
campaign having been made by the
v prohibition forces.
k Big Feature With the Show.
The wonderful array of female performers
with the Great Van Amburg
Show is one of its strong features.
There is no other show in the country
which has so many high-class female
artists as this show, and the work of
those fair ladies ou the flying trapeze
and acrobatic and other interesting
features has won the the admiration
EU. of the thousands where the show has
exhibited. While this is only one of
the many features presented by this
vast-amusement enterprise, it alone
is well worth the price of admission.
iS' The Van Amburg Show will give two
performances in Kingstree 011 Wednesday.
Nov. 22, afternoon and evening.
Don't miss the grand street parade in
? the forenoon and the free exhibitions
0 on the show grounds immediately after
& V' the street parade. The large Elephant

As to Managers Pay.
Editor County Record: As a
manager of the app oaching
election on "dispensary" or
"no dispensary'' I would like
to know by whom or how managers
are to be paid. Will you
kindly answer through your paper?

Our impression is that the expenses
of the election referred
to will be paid by the State just
the same as any other general
election.?Eld The Record.

County Icecrd?Mr Gause cannot:
answer my que-tious :iud js trying to'
binff in . He has he. n whipped to a
tioDb. To answer the-e questions'
would be ail the argument that the!
dispensary side wants, and he had I
sense enough to know it. It's only aj
pity f'?r him that lie did not wake up
until everybody found out that he was
a fool. lie wanted to have a public debate
with me. 1 atn not a public speaker
and did not care to lose time from
my work to In ar him preach the same
sermon over and over. As soon as I
would have put questions to him that
be could not answer he would have got
mad, just as Ik; did do. and that would
have ended the debate. He likes to
tell about the great curse that whiskey
has been to the human race. The
advocates of the dispensary have nev?*r
disputed this, but what we have l>ee'?
trying to get the prohibitionists to
prove is how prohibition yill decrease
thesale or use 01 whiskey,and they have
never done It and can't do it. We have
had prohibition and we have had the
barrooms, and prohibition proved to
be worse than the barrooms.
To show that closing the dispensary
will do no good, the dispensaty was
closed at St Stephens for a short while
and the people around Gourdins usually
get their whiskey at St. Stephens.

What is the difference? The merchants j
are making money for themselves and
the dispensary is making money for
the State by sending off for the whis-;
key. They tell yon that money would i
go to the merchants if the dispensary j
was closed. What were the merchants i
doing at Gourdiuj to let all that money
go outside of the State? They did not!

"Vote out the dispensary," and when

Mr Emile Arrow-smith of Georgetown came up
last week to spend some time in town.
Mr an.l Mrs C F Koger, of Colleton county,
were here last week to attend the Kinder-Carr
wedding.
It would be a proper and fitting preliminary
for the observance of Thanksgiving to vote out
the dispensary on the 21st.
Eleven out of twelve counties have rolled up
big majorities against the dispensary. Now,
let Williamsburg join the procession.
Mils Mary E Forbes of Baltimore, M?'., is the

Kinder-Carr wedding, at which she was maid
of honor.
