DISPENSARIES Til REOPEN TOMORROW
[ -VARIOUS MATTERS OF GENERAL i
AND SPECIAL INTEREST.
Col am bin, August 23:?Dispensary
Auditor West to-day sent out to
the various dispensary boards aud \
dispensers a letter calling attention j
L to the fact that the act providing for |
f^the closing down of the dispensaries
m those counties voting against the
sale of liquors provides that no
claims shall be paid unless the same'
have been audited.
The following is Mr West's letter: j
"Gentlemen: This is to give you
notice that under Section 2 of an act
of the General Assembly, 1909, providing
for the closing of the several
dispensaries in those counties voting
against sale, no claims are to be paid
by you uutil same have been audited,
I
approved aud ordered pain ?v me i
State dispensary auditor Tnis. of:
course, does not include nor prevent
the payment of the current expenses
incident to closing up the business,
bat does include such items as may
be due the whiskey houses with
which you do business, any unpaid
profits and amounts that you may
owe banks on notes or for borrowed
money. It is expected that all county
dispensary boards will adhere strictly
to the provisions of this act, and any
violation of same will be reported
promptly for the reason that it would
in all probability give rise to complications
and furnish ground for suits
.and litigations. Yours respectfully,
W b West,
"Dispensary Auditor."
In the counties that held elections
"
the dispensaries win very pruuuuiy
be opened next Friday. Even in
those counties in which protests may
come up before the State- board the
dispensaries will be opened, it is
thought. Toe State board will declare
the result and whether there aie
appeals to courts or not the dispensaries
will be opened. In this county
t it is almost a certainty that the dis.
^ensaries wiil open Friday morning.
The Blue Ridge Railroad.
According to a story in au upcountrv
paper interest in Blue lvidge
(Railroad probabilities has again been
revived. The story says in part:
"The visit this week of Vice President
Andrews, of the Southern Railway,
to Seneca and Walhalla and the
Blue Ridge properties above that
town, stimulates the belief that
'something is doing right now' in
that section. Of course, with the
!* customary reticence prevailing in
railroad circles, Col* Audrews gave
out nothing for publication, but his
?a nAbnnar] CTdt 1 fn I
OU511ICS9 IUCIC 19 avauvnaugvu w
have been in the interest of Blue
Ridge probabilities."
Election to be Protested.
Local interest ceutres in the protest
to be argued before the county
board of canvassers to-morrow in
this city. The prohibitionists in this
oounty are claiming that the election
was not conducted altogether accordto
law, and the effort will be
^ made to have the same annulled. The
board for this couutv consists of
Messrs W II Townsend, J B Friday
and W H Sligh, with Mr E J Brennen
as clerk of the board.
The returns recently published
showed that in this county the dis* "
?*7iiri niif nrop npfihihitirtn in

election by a majority of 110
votes. The following precincts were
carried: Ward 1, Ward 2, Ward 3,
Killian's, Waver ley, Hyatt Park,
Taylor's, Sligh's, Davis, Fairmouut,
Gad8en,Ea8tovtr aud Garner's. The
vote at Hopkins was a tie, being 14
to 14. The prohibitionists carried
Wards 4 and 5 and Shandon, Horrell,
Wayside aud Midway.
4 .The protest to be filed by the proBrhibiticn
side to-morrow will touch,
W it is said, the constitutional and code
I ^provisions as to registration receipts
^ having to be shown. Should the
K board decide that a sufficient number
of voters were affected in the event
the contention or any part thereof is
sustained, the election will be held
K over again. It they decide to throw
out the protest the State board of
canvassers will be appealed to, and
it is stated that if the State board
throws out the contest the courts will
*
1
f
be resorted to by the prohibition
forces here.
The following are the code arid
constitutional provisions that will
probably be brought up to-morrow:
From the constitution of 1895?
"Managers of election shall require
of every elector offering to vote at [
any election, before allowing him to
vote, proof of the payment of all
taxes, including poll tax, assessed
against him uud collectible dunug
tbe previous year. The production
ot a certificate or of the receipt of the
officer authorized to collect such
taxes shall be conclusive proof of)
the payment thereof."
From the code of 1902, Section
213?"The managers of election
shall require of any elector offering
to vote at any election, before allowing
bim to vote, in addition to the
production of a registration certificate,
proof of the payment of all
taxes, including poll tax, assessed
against him and collectible during
the previous year. The production
of a certificate or of the receipt of
the officer authorized to collect such
taxes shall be conclusive proof of the
paymeut thereof."
The State board of canvassers
meets Thursday in the office of Secretary
of State McC'owu for the
purpose of tabulating returns and

probably be several protests, unless
the same should be abandoned in
the meantime after a hearing before
the county boards.
Pardons Refused.
Governor Ansel has refused pardons
to Ehas Winter and T ,T Cunningham,
both of this county. Winter
was tried and convicted of grand
larceny, being sentenced to 18
months. He was accused of having
taking brass from the Southern.
T J Cunningham was sentenced to
five years at the spring term of court,
l'JOfi, on the charge of assault and
battery with intent to kill. The petition
was refused by Governor Ansel
upon the refusal of noth the Solicitor
and the Judge to recommend
the pardon. Solicitor Timmerm&n
said that iuasmuch as the assault was
upon a woman the case was a very
aggravated one. Judge Memminger,
writing from Charleston, said: "I
earnestly recommend that this application
for a pardon be refused."
Attorney General Lyon was out of
the city to-day, and therefore the C,
C and 0 opinion was nut given The
matter will most probably be settled
as far as the opinion goe6 when Mr
Lyon returns to-morrow.
Capt J G Mobley passed through
the city to-day en route to Anderson
to address the Red Shirt reunion.
Capt Mobley says the State Fair
prospects are very bright indeed.

Other Matters.
State Superintendent of .Education
Sweanngen will deliver an address
to-morrow at the educational rally at
Aiken. The rally to be held at that
place is expected to be one of the
most successful to be held during
the summer, as great interest has
been aroused. The speakers to be
heard are: Miss Marie Cromer, J E
Sweariugeu, Dr E L Hughes of
Greenville; Mrs Mary Nance Daniel,
the Hon C W Garris, J C Gardener
and Dr R P Pell.
The superintendent will go to
Laureus on Wednesday to attend the
educational rally at that place,which
was postponed on account of inclement
weather several weeks ago. He!
will speak at Pelzer on Wednesday
night.
, Aid Given Wkak Schools.
Since tlie lirst of the mouth State
Superintendent of Education Sweariugen
has paid out over $6,000 to the
weak schools of the State making application
of the fund appropriated
bv the Legislature for that pur
pose. Approximately $7,000 wa3
paid during the spring. The Legislature
appropriated $20,000 for
aid to the weak schools of the State,
and there is only about $5,000 of
this left for distribution. There are
applications for over $2,500 in the
office of Mr Sweariugen to be acted
upon. The amounts paid out range
from $10 to $100 to each school.
The counties in which the most
mone1-^^ been distributed are:
Jlorr) oalud?,LaureD8 and Pickens.
The amount appropriated by the
Legislature annually for the weak
schools of the State is very small,
and it is the hope of mauy that the
appropiiation will be increased to at
least $50,000 at the next session of
the Legislature. This would mean a
great improvement in the schools. A
resolution favoring the increase of
the appropriation was passed at the
conference of the county superintendents
of education held in Spartanburg
several weeks ago, and also at
a meeting of the school trustees of
Spartanburg county.
Ten Doctors
Said He Would Die
"In 1903 we wrote you regarding
my husband, who was suffering
from heart trouble. He
was superanuated by the North
rionrfTion PnnfcrMirp Tf?n doc
tors at different times said he
would die. You advised Dr.
Miles' Heart Remedy and Restorative
Nervine; we did as
advised, and improvement was
apparent from the very first. He
recovered and the Conference in
1904 gave him a charge. He
never felt better, although he
has very heavy work and does
a great deal of c; -?p meeting
work. I am so g?r. we took
your advice and gav* him the
medicine, and feel that I ought
to let you know of the wonderful
good results from its use."
MRS. T. S. EDWARDS,
Milner, Ga.
This proves what Dr. Miles'
Heart Remedy will do. Get a
bottle from your druggist and
take it according to uirctuuiis.
It does not matter whether your
heart is merely weak, or you
have organic trouble, if it does
not benefit you take the empty
bottle to your druggist and get
your money back.
