Such a system could not be tolerated forever by a free people and I when the llrice law was enacted, despite the stubborn opposition of the dispensary cohorts, the counties be |gan one oy one to vote out me in iqaitous institution, and the ultradispensaryites, seeing ruin threatening the G M I, are trying to eKe out its span ot life by legal technicalities and injunctions. But it will not avail. The system is doomed, and while the course taken bv the obstructionists may, f w perhaps, prolong the agony, it but makes more certain the inevitable result?the predestinate end of the present dispensary system in South Carolina.. The Black Mingo Vote. The State .says in line burst of jscornful enthusiasm: Black Mingo, Williamsburg county, holds the dispensary record. There -4 votes were cast for the dispensary to one against. IIow dear' to the hearts of the faithful should l-- Miimn Wlint ? wnrLl j uc uciu iiiunn .uiujv. v v.... of enlightenment this record presages!" . Black Mingo is dear to the hearts of the faithful and justly so.There is no more enlightened community in South Carolina and none where th" moral code is higher. A Virginian of distinguished ancestry only recently said of it that a residence there would compel any man to be a gentleman. It is an old community and some of the brightest names in Revolutionary history spmng from it. Major John James, the hero of the Georgetown episode,is buried within a few miles of it. Its splendid planj tations and cultivated people are ever the subject of remark. The South Carolinian who does not know Black Mingo and its people, from headwaters to mouth, has much to n. The polling precinct is the jting place foi Rome and Rhems and from the very spot two large steamers ply ~g?- I u*ly to Georgetown and even yec t.-ey le nnable to handle the swelling trade. It is the best section in Williamsburg county in every sense of the word and there is no better anywhere. Its splendid vote for the dispensary is a high tribute and shows the strength of the dispensary principle with the best people of the State?Georgetown Field. We endorse everything said by the Field in praise of the good people of Black Mir.go; but we do not believe that the overwhelming vote given the dispensary at that precinct necessarily implies that all the best and most patriotic people of South Carol'lut or Williamsburg county uphold the Great Moral Institution. No, \ no, contemporary, there are many ! citizens of this county just as good i and just as patriotic as the people of Black Mingo, who voted solidly agauist the dispensary. For instance, ' take Salters, where the count showed I twenty-five to nothing anti-dispen iary. The voters of Williamsburg did their own thinking in the receut election aj?d the fact that they voted for or against the dispensary is bv no means indicative of their ignorance or enlightenment.

AnHf>rcnn J AAA A AAA W W A UWiAi The people of Anderson county have shown their emphatic disapproval of the dispensary system by a large majority. Their action is in thorough keeping with the traditions of the county/which has always stood for temperance and law and order. The dispensary issue came up before the voters squarely on its merits,and the result must be taken as their sober veidicton a system that has been tried and found wanting.^ Now that the dispensary has been voted out, it is the duty of every citizen to lend his iufluence in having the law enforced. There have been few blind tigers in the county ^ in recent years, and there is no reason ! why their number should increase, j Public sentimeut of the right kind I will enforce auy law, and we believe] that it Will uphold with a tirin hand the cause of law auil order when the I first attempt is made to violate the .... laws of the State by the illicit sale of liquor. The people of the couii- ; ty have done wisely in rejecting the dispensary. A little revenue has been lost, but what is that to be computed with the incalculable gain to follow in other ways 1 j making hap-;' pier horiies and training up a better citizenship? The issue has been fairly and hon- i estly settled at the ballot box, and! there is no reason why a contest should be instituted. This has been done in other counties. The dispensary advocates will on'y do their cause harm by any attempt to set aside the will of the people. The county was never in a more prosperous couditiou than it is today i and we believe that the removal of i th?; dispensary will make no little advance in its further progress and j prosperity,?Anderson Infcelligener. ^^ures Coughs, Colds, I and Lung Troubles, Pr< /wywwwwwwwwwwww^ - I WI ; Fui 4 we carry /in Our Lin Jet ; ; County, a , Can be So vill If you are A you EVER ing Paints rtl- We Jfaue th Universal & FINS and CASKETS, All Siz TREE H -f T w - ? - - ? .
