NO 49 | ELECTION HELD UP BY PROUST, ' effort made to thwart the will oi ^:the people on the dispensary , question. i'. . * The board of State election commissioners met Tuesdav in the court * house for the purpzse of canvassing the returns of the election held on November 21 on the question of "dispensary'' or "no dispensary", Messrs S G McDonald and J lv Cox, a majority of the board beiug present Mr S G McDonald was made *\ chairman afid Philip Stoll, Esq., clerk. Jo?; Before the votes were canvassed, W' LeRoy Lee, Esq., appearing in help,;-half of MM Rodgers, dispenser at Sy .Lake City, filed a protest ugainst - ' "The said election and moved that on L_\' account of certain alleged irregular'< , *t ities set forth the same be declared ; null and void. R J Kirk, Esq., opposed Mr Lee's motion, declaring it unfair to decide I"' the matter without the other side bting represented by counsel. After hearing the argument pro . ^ and con the board decided to postDone their decision uutil Tuesday, , December 12, in order that both sides may have an opportunity to be heard in the matter. Frqm the standpoint of a layman it looks like a very peculiar pioeeeding on the part of the board of cau. vassers to cortsider a protest or acton a motion for adjournment before tabulating the vote and declaring j the result. No one is supposed to l^^,;km>w-thj6Aitely the result of the election until "the votes are canvassed, fcc and when the official count is de%< clared, it seems to us, would be the proper time to entertain a protest. We may be mistaken in the matter, but that is the way it appears to us. A great opportunity to buy first j|f?.class goods at low prices, at J L C . Moore's, Lake City, S.

One of the most delightful social [affairs of the season was the "quilting party" given Tuesday evening fioin 8 to 12 by Mrs Amelia Scott, at her home on 'North Academv street, in honor of Miss Mary El Forbes, of Baltimore, Md., who is ! visiting Mrs M F lluler. A large quilt was stretched on a frame in ! the center of the room and each couple strove to cover the most territory in the way of stitching. The gentlemen kept the needles threaded and the ladies, in appropriate costumes, did the quilting. The novel contest became interesting and exciting and [after several hours of keen and sharp competition Miss Dell Van Keuren and Mr Muldrow Burgess were adjudged the success- ' ful contestants. The prizes, a dainty work basket and a gayly decorated pipe, were delivered to the respective winners bv Mr C W Wolfe with a few fitting remarks.

SOME PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES?A VERY ANCIENT COIN- PERSONAL AND LOCAL Lake City. Nov. 28: Dr II L Baker came up from Koine Monday and was in towj\ during the day. Lelioy Lee, Est) , of Kiugstree was here a few hours Monday < n professional business. Messrs L O Hollo way and (has. M Kelley went to Sumter this week to examine some concrete buildings that are being put up in that city. Both these gentlemen will build at an early day and they are looking into the merits of concrete as to durability, protection against lire, cost and appearance, with the view of using that material in case it possesses real merit in these essential particulars. Former Supervisor B B Chandler was noted here from Kome last Monday. By tin* way, this correspondent has it upon good authority that a number of Mr Chandler's friends are already urging him to be in the race for supervisor again next summer. This recalls the fact that on Monday we had in town the present, superviser, Mr J J Graham, his predecessor, Mr Chandler, and one who will seek to become his successor. We refer to Mr J B V Gaskins. From information at qlose hands we think he will ceitaiuly be in the race. Should all three enter (lit ring, there will l>e "something doing"' in old Williamsb'vrg next sum rati . The primary is a long way off yet and if the political pot is simmering already, which seems to he the case, the probabilities are that by the time sap begins to rise next spring it will be a little more than lukewarm. Mr J B Gwinn, who is a member of the Spartanburg bar, spent last Thursday in town 011 professional business. Mr J D King has purchased two lots 011 Church street, next to the King Warehouse and also that lot containing about two acres,, which includes all the unoccupied land in the centre of the same block. On Church street he will build his duel liner The rest of the land will ? 0. be devoted to pack houses, e.c. for liis large tobacco business. Mr J W Coward of Kiugstree was in town a short - while Monday night. Mr J H V Gaskius has bought Mr \Y P Jordan's residence on MeAlister street. A few days ago, Mr \V H Thigpen, who lives.over in the edge of Clarendon county, but ought to live in Williamsburg, showed this writer .t i L: . *;?!.1 T. il C01I1 IMUt WilS iuiimun HO ariu. n is a silver, Spanish coin, of just about the weight of a dollar, than which it has a larger diameter but is thinner. The date is 1779 and it was issued during the reign of Charles IV. Since being cleaned the letters, devices and figures stand out very distinctly, which together with other evidences, indicate that the coin was in general circulation only a short time when placed where it lay buried until this year of grace. What memory this old coin recalls! How the whirligig<of time has spun around as this old earth swept "adown the linging grooves of change" since this bit of silver dropped from the dies! In the count of aeons but a span; yet how rich, how various in events of moment and happenings of portent! Charles the Fourth is gone but this silver piece lives on and so does the name and fame of our illustrious one who died the year this coin was minted! Who was he? W L B. Notice.
