MAR. 11.1909. ;\ Keep the Record Straight. The writer of the following article, which appeared in the Charleston News and Courier on Thursday, March 4, is either sadly misinformed or has a very poor memory: l{ Williamsburg.a Wet County" King8tree, March 3.?Special: The people of "Williamsburg county generally are heartily tired of the annual shaking up of the dispen. sarv law. Two years ago they voted on the question, whether Williamsburg county would or would not retain the dispensary, and they answered that question significantly and positively by retaining the dispensary in its present form. They are well satisfied with the system as it stands today, and regret that they must again vote on a question which they have so recently de cided by the ballot. Sober, thinking men see no reason to believe that there has been a change of sentiment since the last vote on the question. Many good men who are at heart and in principle prohibitionists, will vote to retain the dispensary because they do not wish to see a blind tiger at every crossroads and hamlet, and this will inevitably be the result of prohibition in this county. Let us keep the record straight. The last ami only election ever held 111 Williamsburg on the question of "Dispensary" or "No Dispensary" took place on JNovemoer -i, kjuc II1UU3aud thirty-five votes were polled and on the face of the returns the "No Dispensary'' side won out by 141 majority. The county board of canvass-rs so dec 1 a r ed the result and an appeal was made to the State board of canvassers on the ground of irregularities in holdiug the election. The State board of canvassers reversed the finding of the county board and the election was declared uull and void. The main point on which the election was upset was based on the fact that two ballot boxes were used in holding the election, thus, it was alleged, destroying the secrecy of the ballot. So little attention is given to the colonels on the Governor's staff that the average leader in lookiug over the names of the recently appointed batch cannot dis\ tinguish the new ones from the he Movers. The groundhog may have been ultra conservative in South Carolina, but he undoubtedly hit the nail on the head around Washington in foreshadowing the elemental violence that prevailed on inauguration day. Thousands of old veterans and' other admiring friends sympathize j with General M C Butler, who is desperately ill in a Columbia infirmary.

Mr Timmons has recently bought the plantation near town formerly owned by his grandmother, the late Mrs Hannah Cockfield. Misses Howard and Bosweil, * the teachers at Elim, in Florence county, will give an entertainment at the school house Friday night, to which this writer has received an invitation. J The entertainment will be a | highly interesting affair judging from the programme before us. Mr R L Kennedy has been confined to his bed several weeks and we regret to report that his condition remains unchanged. The long distance telephone station will be located in Dr I'ntp's Hrnp- store. Mr Ezra M Singletary,railroad agent at Effingham, and Mr Bert Johnson, from the same place,' were in town Monday on business. i Misses Vonnie Singletary and Sue Carter ot Lake City spent 1 Sunday at Mr and Mrs R B J Cannon's.
