But it doesn't make much dif->
ference whether the election is
ordered or not. Incase it should!

election would be held up on account
of ''irregularities."

Business interests of every kind
are affected by the telegraphers' j
strike that is now on, which it
is hoped will soon be settled.
When it comes to a "trust" we
confess to be unable to discriminate
between a union of labor;
and a union of capital.

It is now up to the county
supervisor to say whether or not
the election on the dispensary
question shall be ordered. The
supervisors of registration have
reported 3,370 qualified electors
and the petition contains 886,
names. In response to an inquiry
from the supervisors of registrar
tion Governor Ansel writes that
'.V;
? it is the duty of the county su
.1 . ... ... .1
pervisor to revise tne petition aim
cull out the names thereon of
voters that are ineligible. Now it,
amounts to this: If the supervi-^
* tor stiikes off as many as twenty-1
four names the election cannot be,
called, otherwise he will have to
order it.
Just as sure as fate the friends
.
of the dispensary system are driving
nails into its coffin. Scarcely
can the returns of an election be
announced
before a protest is filed
and the election is held up in-1
definitely while the liquor traffic
goes merrily on. Then, too, the
State board of canvassers 6eera to
j
be in sympathy with the liquor
forces and decide every time in
their favor. The people of South'
uaronna win not long suomit to
government by a minority and it
iB safe to predict that if the
present state of things continues
Sonth Carolina will follow the example
of her sister State, Georgia,
and enact as traight prohibition law.
Notice.
On next Sunday at 11 o'clock,

new cotton gin completed. He
has made rapid speed in putting
