Columbia, May 20:?A startling 1 and far-reaching statement was s made by Dispensary Auditor W B c West to-day, in reply to a question ? and Courier corres- ' ponder:t. Mr West stated that the sales of alcoholic drinks in the 1 six counties now retaining the J dispensary system would equal one half, if not more, of the total sales ] the year before in the 21 counties ^ then having the dispensary system. The stiles Inst year were nearly ' ' $4,000,000. 1 This statement was based upon 1 the monthly reports of sales during the last several months of dis- 1 pensaries in the counties retaining the dispensaries, namely: Charles- 1 ton, Richland, Beaufort, Florence, ' I Georgetown and Aiken. "For the months of December, 1 1909, and January, 1910," continu- ' ed Mr West, "the sales were about two-thirds of the sales for the cor- j responding months m the years just prec?ding." These statements are very significant, for several reasons. The wise one6 predicted before the Aujust' elections that those counties retaining the dispensaries would be considerably benefited by the profits accruing from the sales of whiskey and beer if their next door ' neighbors voted out the system. V rr<l- - Ivoon Knmo nut hv the 1UI8 liOS UCCll uwuv v? largely increased sales in these several counties. To the prohibitionists there will be furnished by this state of affairs the argument that all dispensaries should be voted out, and the whole State should become prohibition. They will argue that since neighboring counties have voted out the dispensaries it is injurious to these, counties to have other counties surrounding them engage in the j sale of liquors. On the other hand, the local opyci tk>n men will argue that the jjfr revenues received by those counties now having dispensaries and the v. legalized sale of liquors should cause other counties not now enjoying ' these privileges to want them. : ' It is stated by men seen here: Irora sections 01 tne stau? wneic i IJP- ! the dispensaries have been voted the reaction has already set in and some counties that voted out the dispensaries wish them i' back. j That there has been less whiskey , sold since planting season began is ) stated by those who are in touch ( with the situation. Naturally, du-, ' ring the planting months the sales i of whiskey and beer fall off in the country districts, because people j are too busy to go to "town" and 1 | buy the "firewater." ii Twenty-one counties in South i I Carolina had the dispensary system j before August, 1909, when 15 of the ; counties went "dry," leaving six j fi ing Doinj We Are ilding by leaps and bounds prices we are offering in ats, Shoes, Nec 1 line of O A =C3 lap , good and wholesome.

"You have no idea what an effect! the Greenville situation in regard to the liquor question is having on the other counties," said a gentlerijan to-day, who is well versed on the liquor question and travels about the State a great deal. "That the Greenville county contention should have determined to submit the question of dispensary >r no dispensary to the primary this summer is having a marked effect < jpon the lower counties of the State. j Down that way it has been . generally thought that Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg and the Upper State counties, as a whole, were bulwarks of prohibition. Mow that the question is again to be submitted to the people, many jf the- lower counties are wonder- , ing what effect this will have on I the rest of the State. "Suppose Greenville should decide to place the dispensary back? That j would mean,naturally, that the sentiment up there has changed, as i shown by the votes of the people. rhen the Up-State would not be regarded such a sVonghold of prohibition." All of which is mighty interesting, and shows which way the wind is blowing the liquor situation in South Carolina.?Xews <?* Courier, ANDREWS ACTIVITIES. A Masonic "Smolcer"--Bull Gores Horse?Poor Freight Service. Andrews, May 24:?Harpers lodge, No 225, A F M, gave a 3ipoker to the members and friends Idst Thursday night, May 19, which was greatly enjoyed by all present. The Fellow Craft degree was conferred on one brother and it was decided to celebrate St John's day, June 24, with a picnic, a joint affair to be given by the Free Masons and the Woodmen of the World. The people of the community look forward to this event with much pleasure. We expect to have addresses made by distinguished Masons from various parts of the State. Mr L A Kogerson, a progressive farmer of this place,had a fine horse badly gored by a Jersey bull last Friday afternoon. The muscles of the injured horse's fore-shoulder were ripped open about 16 inches and were cut two inches deep. Nearly all the negroes of this community stopped work last week and congregated at their churches, expecting to be destroyed by Halley's comet. The farmers and other employers dependent on negro labor are suffering from this excitement. Some of the negroes have lost their jobs by refusing to work while watching the comet. The "honk" of the automobile in our little town is as constant a sound as the plaint of the whip-poor-will at [light-fall. Freight trains on the G & W railroad are running only three days in the week and our people, especially the merchants,are much wrought up about the matter, which is working a hardship on the patrons at all points along the line.

In the Shaw Piano we have succeeded in this very thing. The construction of the sounding board, together with the finest German steel strings, gives this piano a marvelous range of pure, lich, mellow tones. The heavy action-principle permits the hammer ?o strike ihe strings squarely a< dthe result is the depth and p< wer of its tone. The voicing controls the action-principle perfectly?and that is the real test of a good piano. The Shaw Piaro is cased in mahogany and rosewood, | equipped with genuine ivory (keys It has the graceful appearance of a piano three times i s cost. The Shaw Piano is the ideal piano for your home. It ia built to last, its appeal ance i< gracefully stylish. Its playiug qnalities are unexcelled. Its i rice is consistent with its value. Let!us place one in your home on 30 days' trial.
