WINS BY OVER TWO TO ONECARRIES
EVERY COUNTY IN

After December 31 next the legal ,
sale of alcoholic beverages will be ,
discontinued in South Carolina. By ]
a majority of more than two to one, ,
as shown by returns received from
Tuesday's election on the liquor ]
At this count Dorchester, with
four boxes yet to come in, gives a '
majority of 13 for local option.
Charleston is the only county that
^ can with certainty be counted at
this time in the local option column, i
the vote being practically ten to one
against prohibition, with eight coun- 1
try boxes yet to come in.
With perhaps an exception or two,
notably Horry, in no county which ,
now sells liquor under the dispensary ,
By stem was the vote close in Tues- <
day's election. The returns from
w I
the upcountry indicate a continued
strong sentiment against the sale of J
liquor. j
Now, Mr Farmer, let's hold it ]
for 15 oentsl
the small margin of three- votes.
Calhoun has voted for prohibition {
by nearly two to one, and in Orangeburg
county three times as many '
ballots was cast for prohibition as
for local option.
With one-third of the precincts to 1
be heard from, Beaufort gives a 1
majority of 32 against the sale of 1
liquor.
Sixteen out of 29 precincts in 1
Florence county return, in the ag- !
gregate, more than four to one de- feat
of local option, and the boxes {
still out may increasa this majority. 1
With half of the boxes in, George- (
town gives a "drv" vote more than J
double that of the "wet," and it is 1
unlikely that this ratio will be ma- 1
terially altered.
Lexington, with one box missing, 1
shows a heavy majority for prohi- !
bition, and Jasper, with two boxes
out, votes four to one against dis- '
pensary. i
Richland gives a decisive majority
for prohibition, while the vote
against dispepsary in Union county
is overwhelming. l
question, the qualified electors have ,
*" voted for State-wide prohibition, j
which means that the dispensaries l
now being operated in fifteen counties
must be permanently closed by
January 1, 1916. ,
Although the returns from Tues- j
day's balloting are incomplete, an j
overwhelming victory for the prohi- j
bition forces is certain; in fact, it is 1
likely that their majority will grow j
^ as additional returns are received. i
With returns from all of the forty- ,
four counties of the State, somep
complete and others incomplete, re-! fpivpd
the following results are!'
shown: ,
For Prohibition 32,944 i
Against Prohibition 24,141 ]
It is not probable that the total
vote will exceed 60,000.
Of the counties that now have dispensaries
Aiken has voted "dry" by 1
at least three to one, while Barn- '
well, according to the returns received,
gave a prohibition victory by ?

Nesmith, August 13:?The farmers
of this section are about to finish
selling their golden weed; prices
have ranged from $6 to $45 per
acre. Most of them got only experience
this year, and the mest important
thing they learned was that
the second application of fertilizer
will not do for tobacco, because it
keeps it green too long and it will
cure up very dark with a blue cast.
Mr J E Johnson and son sold tobacco
last year for $264.33 per acre,
where this year they sold for $41.20 '
per acre, with the same fertilizer
and cultivation.
The young folk of this section en- !
joyed an entertainment last Friday ,
?vening given at the home of Mr
and Mrs W M Marlow in honor of
the former's niece, Miss Rosa Vereene.
who has been spending some
time there. The merry callers were
met at the door by Mrs Marlow and
ushered into the parlor. After the
crowd had gathered they were incited
out into the beautifully lighted
yard, where they played games.
They we*e then bidden to enter the
dining room, where the table was
spread with delicious fruits. Those
present were: Misses Iva, Pearl,
Marie and Edna Eaddy, Carrie and
Lena McElveen, Minnie and Etta
Tart, Lillie Johnson and Rosa Vereene;
Messrs G G Broadway, Reuben
Sarvis, Paul McElveen, Herbert
Ferdon, Fred, Helly and Luther
Johnson.
Miss Carrie McElveen has returned
home from Spartanburg county,
where she has been teaching a summer
school.
The Sunday-school picnic at old
Black Mingo church last Saturday
was a great success. The programme
which had been arranged by a com
mittee appointed by Superintendent!
J W McLaulin was carried out very
nicely by the children of the Sundayschool
and was highljuentertaining.
After the children's exercises Prof
3 M Mitchell and Mr F R Hemingway
each gave an interesting talk
an the Sunday-school. A delightful
feature of the day's programme was
when the committee spread the table
with the delicious contents of
the baskets and invited the crowd up
to partake of the dainties under the
shade of the old oak trees.
Mrs Marlow, of Horry county,
has returned to her home after
spending some time with her son,
Mr W M Marlow of Morrisville.
Master Leland Dicker and' sister
Rprnirp. who have been with their
grandparents, Mr and Mrs J E

FARMERSr MEETING
HERE FRIDAY.
A GREAT SUCCESS, DESPITE THE
ABSENCE OF COMMISSIONER
JOHN L. McLAURIN.
The farmers' meeting held here
last Friday under the auspices of
the Williamsburg County Fair association
was a decided success from
The Record's view point, although
we, along with most of the others,
were somewhat disappointed be-1
cause the Hon John L McMcLaurin, I
who was advertised to speak, was
not present.
The meeting was called to order
in the court house at noon by Mr W
E Nesmith, president of the Williamsburg
County Fair association,
who, on account of the absence of
Mr Geo A McElveen, secretary of
the association, appointed Mr E C
Epps as temporary secretary.
The court house was well filled
with a representative body of Williamsburg's
leading citizens, men
who are heartily interested in the
upbuilding of their county, constructive
men who are thoroughly imbued
with that co-operative spirit
which is vitally essential to the success
of every county and communty undertaking.
The object of the meeting was
stated by President Nesmith, who
briefly reviewed the work of the
county fair association from its organization
up to the present time,
stating that it was now in a reasonably
prosperous condition. He assured
those present that the interest
being manifested fully warranted
the prediction that the fair to be
" - ~ ~ It - A 1 i.
held October Vd-zz wouia at least
come up the standard of other county
fairs, and that with a hard pull
and a pull all together it could easily
be made one of the best county fairs
ever held in the State.
Mr Nesmith read a telegram and
letter from the Hon Jno L McLaurin
which stated that important official
business prevented his being present
as had been promised, which he
regretted.
This was a distinct disappointment
to many of those present and
necessitated some changes in the
regular programme by the presiding
officer, who offered an opportunity
for voluntary remarks on any subject
appropriate to the occasion by
any one present.

purpose of securing higher prices.
Hon S A Graham of Heinemann
gave assurances of his interest in
the welfare of everything advantage
ous to the interests of Williamsburg
county, but stated that he had come
rather to listen than to talk.
The State Warehouse Commissioner
had requested that a speech
recedtly delivered by him at Spartanburg
on the storing and holding
of cotton be read, and Senator Epps
was asked to do this.
Before taking up the reading of
Mr McLaurin's speech, Mr Epps explained
why it seemed to him that
the South, at last, was about to renossess
its birth-right, at least, he
gave reasons why in his opinion the
Southern cotton grower should reap
immeasurable benefits, just as other
sections of the United States are
reaping from the reorganization and
readjustment of the National financial
system together with the new
world conditions. He asked the
question, "if seventeen million bales
of cotton were consumed in twelve months,
while international finance
was confused and disrupted, how |
many months will eleven million C
bales last under organized and set- I
tied financial conditions, and with a
demand for the staple which will
far exceed that of the previous
twelve months. Will the farmer
throw his product upon the sea of
speculation and let the profits drift
into coffers already well filled, |
or will he make the necessary prep
aration to gather these profits unto I
himself?" j
Continuing Mr Epps said: Last
year we held cotton through fear,
and in hope. We were cruelly de-1
ceiyed%^the then existing circum-,
stances as to the quantity of the
staple which would be required for
the world's use, but now our eyes
have been opened and an opportunity
is at hand. But it rests with.
the producer to prepare?to pro-j
pare for the acceptance of the bride- j
groom?till he comes. Sell a reason-!
able portion of your crop at present,
then hold the balance indefinitely,!
and reap a big reward.
Mr McAdoo, Secretary of the
Treasury, with his magnanimous
spirit of appreciation?the Federal
Reserve banks, and the warehouse 1
system (State plan preferred) ?these I
three great forces, united in one I
Dumose. is a certainty upon which |
