Erratum. A regrettable typographical error in our supplement this week makes u? say under the sub-head. "The Poorest County": "The (level nor's private secretary did write him (Mr Starr) a private letter, raying that when Calhouh county was formed tae property valuation was only $2,2S-,4"0. Well, graut5u^ th;it to he true. Rutledge county would still fail $482,000 j behind it (Calhoun) iu property valuation, which is ouly $3,000 j less than half a milliou.'' This i should have been, of course, *'Kut-! ledge county would still fall $458, | 000 behind Calhoun, which is oulv - i $42,000 less than half a million." This error crept into our article just as one or two similar ones got into Mr Starr's "Address." j Managers of election are re-j pared by law to swear voters for each election separately in the coniiug contest on August 17,1 1 This applies of course, ouly to j the Rutledge area. A man who would sell out his home people?his friends and neighbors who have stood to him through thick and thin when he needed! their help?for the sake of a pro-1 mieed office: "If such there be, go mark him well; For him no raptured minstrel's swell. But, doubly dying shall go down, To the vile dust Irotn whence he sprung. Unwept, unhonored and unsung." A lot of prohibition and antiprohibition argument had to be omitted this week, as well as quite a good deal of country correspondence. We can't devote our: whole paper to to two subjects [ at the same time and with us, the new county question is the paramount issue. We don't think any one on either side of the whiskey question can blame us, for we have given both sides all the newspaper publicity they have enjoyed during the campaign. The election law plainly pro? - J'? L ~ f nrri.ranni. YlUtJS Lilac l* U cn iiuv jin sites for voting are registration certificates and tax receipts. If tne registration certificate presupposes that the voter has a tax receipt why does the law expressly say that in addition to preeeutiug the registration certificate the voter must show evidence; of all taxes having been paid? If you are going to track the law all of its provisioni must be I carried out. With a 12-column attack upon us to answer?the paper contain, ing it withheld from us and circulated only among the voters in the affected area (a sharp, shrewd tiick, by the way) we give apace this week to a two column a: tide from "M D N" strenuous- j ly opposing our own views on: the question at issue, even allow : ing "M D N" to supply his own headlines, when, as every news-1 paper man knows, a correspondent J has no more right to write headiii.es to his article than he has J to write an editorial commenting 01. what is contained in his com- 1 mnnicatiou. Aull yet we are acC'.i'vti of not giving fair t lav. :? it A subscriber from Luke City sent r us Aedncsday, our press day, a I , ... <5 I o 11 g communication m supper: of Kutledge county. We ' like to be accommodating to our ^ opponents, but we can't afford to [ let tbem cause the paper to be c delayed. Certainly it is not to ' tlie greatest good to the great- I est number" to disappoint nearly * two thousand subscribers to oblige ^ t one who waits until our publi- f cation day to send in his article j after being expressly warned klnit t all ' copy*' for this week must t be sent the lirst of the week. c How easv it would be for cor respondents on the other side to f wait till the eleventh hour and j send in enough "copy"' to keep s us from issuing the paper at all this week, if we did not have a time limit for our acceptance. Should Get Together. The thriving municipality of t Rosemary, in Georgetown county, * is thrust into the limelight as ^ never before and probably as it will never be again. (By the way, ^ what is the matter with Harpers j and Moody as county seat possi* >, bilities?) But, really, our But- 1 ledge friends should get together e c in their arguments. One of the most earnest advocates of the Rut- y ledge scheme a few days ago ar- j gued to us in the most convincing t way (to himself) that when Rose- 2 mary's county seat ambition crystallized she would take in John- ^ son township and beat Johnson- ^ ville to the county seat by sheer r voting strength. Now. if we grasp r the meaning of "A1 D N's" argti ment, Rosemary would cut Johnson township out in her ambitious scheme to keep from being outvoted. And dou't you think it is dealing largely in futures, really, to take so seriously a town that has not even been incorporated? I THAI ELECTION FORECAST. People Resent Being Told How They VIII Vote before the ElectionEditor Couuty Record.? Last week a wonderful piece of literature dropped down upon us, emanating from the brilliant and omniscient editor of the Rutledge County News, telling us how each and every voter in the proposed area of Rutledge county will vote on the new county question on the 17th of August. I don't profess to know how mv nearest neighbor will vote on this question, but after camassiug Johuston township, I have failed to find a mau, with one or two exceptions, that favors the creation cf Rutledge county. If Mr Starr misses his prediction of the vote at the other polls as bad as he does at Muddy Creek, the baby is already dead and the vote on the ITth will only be a burial. We occupy the same position we did eighteen months ago?not wishing to check the advancement of Laie City but delight in her progress, and inclined ? to return good for evil, for we feel < that Lake City has not observed the golden rule by influencing the? Governor and Attorney General in closing the registration books three days before the time expired and thereby depriving several good citizens the j i right of suffrage. "To err is human, "and after the new county project is buried on the 17th, we will only expect Lake City to express repenitence and ask pardon. VlDI. '< Chapman, S C, August 9.

Wait- < Urges Retention of Dispensary. j I 1 Sditor County Record: ] On account of my absence from , he county I did not have an op- , >ortunitv to reply to the commu- . lication of Rev VV L Wait in The j Record of two weeks ago, and I , ;hall now dismiss the matter as !( lummarily as possible. Indeed, I ] vould not notice it at all but for he reason that my silence might >e construed as meaning that I ^ lould not defend my position. ; I did not bring my "history of 1t >rohibition in America" down to!1 he present time for several ob-1 j 'ious reasons, and it was imma-!, erial that 1 did not do so. In the J J irst place I covered more space j n The Record than was allotted I i o me, and I gave facts and figires that Mr Wait did not and :ould not disprove. Hisallegaion that the liquor interests spent i mormous sums of money to de'eat prohibition is very questionibleand I daresay cannot be subitantiated by the records. But it s a matter of record that prohibtion Maine pays $50,000 per anlum for jail boarders while Minlesota pays only $18,000 and Minlesota has saloons. The former State derives no revenue from ;he sale of whiskey, while tnelat;er State realizes ^750,000 from icense fees. f? The Columbia State has Iwell aid that the prohibitionists are veil nigh run aground for cam >aign thunder. The old timevorn and threadbare arguments lave no weight with sober-mind?d, right-thinking people, and I lo not believe that the people of Yilliamsburg county are going to i >e influenced, by cheap claptrap,! nto votiug for prohibition, but hat they will let well enough ilone and retain the dispensary. I decline to sign my real name or the reason that my personaliy does not affect the merits of he argument.
