The Sumter Watchman was found?
ed la 1919 and the True Southron In
1999. The Watchman and Southron
now has the combined circulation and
Influence of both of the old papers,
and is manifestly the best, advertising
aaedlum in Sutnter.
la the legislative election for Chief
Justice Senator Clifton and Repre?
sentatives Dick and Stubbs voted for
Chary, while Representative Fraaer
?ast tu ballot for Jones. In a pri?
mary Sumter County would have gone
far Jones Instead of for Oary we he?
uere.

The News and Courier appears to
fknd a measure of consolation in the
thought that Oov. Ansel may veto a
Jltate-wide prohibition bill should It
fee passed by the'Legislature. A vain
isape and mighty poor consolation.
? ? ?
The bill to referm the primary elec?
tion system of the State Introduced
"by Hon. J. J. McMahan. of Richland
County. Is along the right lines, but for
that very reason. It has no chance of
?becoming a law. A law such as pro?
posed. If enforced, would prevent the
frauds that now pass unchallenged,
but It would, at the same time* ac?
complish two things that a great
enany who vote in the primary do not
oosrrs?the reduction of the primary
vote and an increase In the poll tax
receipts.
see
Taxpayers may as well prepare
themselves for an increase in taxes
next year. Appropriations bid fair to
be increased all along the line and
the tax levy must necessarily bs In?
creased.
? ess v
Tor some time past the Charleston
News and Courier has been deluding
Itself snd Its anti-prohibition readers
with the hope that Oov. Ansel would
veto a State-wide prohibition bill
?ahould the politico-prohibition com?
bination succeed in forcing such a
measure through the legislature. This
?vain hope was based, so It was stated,
upon the fact that Oov. Ansel has
been, since his backsliding from the
State dispensary faith, an out and out
local optionist. and was elevated to
the position he now occupies large
Ay on account of the local option faith
(be professed to hold so * dear. But
-Oov. Ansel, although an out and out
local optionist two years ago. is a:i
-evolutionist and his views have kept
pace with the politico-prohibition
? aaatlment and his present frame of
. mind is such that he cannot conscien?
tiously antagonise a majority^ of the
? etagtstatfre and therefore will not vet?
Hhe state-wide prohibition measure
gbmt is expected to pass both house
and senate by a narrow margin. We
4?re not all surprised but nevertheless
sympathise with Ths News and Cour?
ier In its disappointment.
