^ VOL. XXXI. KiNOSTREE^ SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1916. \0. 33 rBLEASE BALLOTS OFFERED VOTERS. VOTERS ARE ASKED TO REGARD BLEASE AS ACTUAL NOMINEE IN GENERAL ELECTION. The Scimitar, a semi-monthly political paper edited by a Blease partisan, W P Beard, and published at Abbeville, displays conspicuously a ballot headed "For Governor: Cole L Blease," and calls upon "the Reform Democrats" to vote that ticket. The Scimitar says that Mr Blease himself, bound by the pledge he took on becoming a candidate, is obliged to abide by the decision of the executive committee, which nominated R I Manning, and therefore he will not likely make a statement. "But the voters are not bound by anything but the oath to support the nominee," The Scimitar says, "and a majority has a right to say who is Just Through I Loai RAN Look At Then Pure The King Hard "The Popular II * Kingstree, ? . ...______ Willi Nov.

GALLON-A-MONTH ACT AFFIRMED BY DECISION OF COURT EN BANC, j WEBB-KENYON ACT IS UPHELD, i Both the gallon-a-month act and j the Wehb-Kenyon law are upheld in decisions of the supreme court en banc filed Saturday. E J Brennen of Columbia brought pn action in the Richland circuit court to upset the gallon-a-month act and on losing there took an appeal. The Wf>?;b Kenyon law was brought into question in action brought in Greenwood by the Charleston & Western Carolina railway against Reuben Gosnell, chief of the county rural police, and ; others. The court en banc held that a dis-j crimination complained of in the Brennen case did exist under the dispensary system in force at the time the suit was begun, but that State being "dry" now no discrimi-? nation existed. In the Gosnell case the court sus- j tained the right of peace officers to j seize liquors in transit for unlawful' purposes, without awaiting either j actual or constructive delivery. The | shipment in question was shipped, "order nofify" and od its being' seized the railway sought to recover! it under claim and delivery pro-; ceedings. The court's opinion in the Brennen case, written by D E Hydrick, associate justice, was concurred inj by Chief Justice Gary, Associate Justices Fraser and Gape and Cir-1 cuit Judges John S Wilson, H F Rice, Mendel L Smith. Ernest Moore, T S Sease, James E Peurifoy, R W Mem-1 minger, Frank B Gary. A dissent-' ing opinion by R C Watts, associate J justice, was concurred in by Circuit!

I The world is clamoring for bright tobacco, and we have the climate and soil for raising it. Prices will remain high for years to come. North Carolina is raising all she can and has a short crop this year on; account of excessive rains. I would like to see every fanner in our countv plant some tobacco next year. I don't mean for any one to over-do the thing; I am a great believer in planting some cotton, corn and tobacco. I don't think it wise to put all of the eggs in one basket. I want to say right here that only last week I was introduced to a Chinaman on the warehouse floor in east- i em North Carolina and he was pla-' cing orders in all the markets of the j east for the high priced tobacco j which they areusingfor cigarettesand need more of it each year. In a few years China will be using millions of pounds of our bright tobacco.
