For our own part, and speaking for no one else, we favor a speedy settlement of the question as to fraud in the first primary. That there was fraud is most probable. That fraud was practiced by both factions is very probable. The trouble is in the loose manner of conducting our primaries. It is another case of locking the door after the horse is stolen. We believe the best thing to do is to endorse the result of the county primaries, and thus nut an end to the ' uncertainty and strife now every- 1 where manifest. Let Governor Blease have it. If it were left to a second primary he would again be chosen. GOOD BUSINESS. ' ] It depends argely upon the spirit ' f *? determine whether 4^? a good or poor business ' '* mm winter. Throughout the country the stringency of the past six ' or eight months is becoming less acute. 1 Business is "picking up," conditions ' are improving. The hopefulness of the progressive business men in one 1 of the chief promoters of good busi- 1 ness. And the optimism of these men 1 is being felt in all lines of business. ! We predict a good "fall trade." The 1 alert and aggresssive merchant will ' be the one to profit by the good business. Let's talk, work and push for the best fall business Union has ever had. GET HEADY FOR THF rruTvrv FAIR. ] The county fair is less than one ] month off. The outlook for a good fair this year is very encouraging, 1 Last year was a trying one, for the reason that it was the beginning. The 1 experiences and investments connected with that first year will prove of ' material value this year. Last year ( was an experiment. This year the ' experimental stage has been passed, * Let's all pull for a great and successful fair this year. Let everyone 1 who can do so, get up an exhibit. If you are in doubt as to just what to J exhibit and of how to go about it, 1 write Mr. B. F. Alston, Jr., who is ? secretary and who will furnish you 1 with a premium list. 1 We have every assurance that ex- < cedent order will be maintained this J year; that the program will be in- ^ structive and entertaining; and that WP will liana " " n jan womiy oi our progressive county. ? WILL VOTE AGAIN ON DISPEN- * SARY QUESTION. i Notice is given elsewhere in this igsue of an election to be held on ' Nov. 5th, upon the question of "Dis- ^ pensary" or "No Dispensary" in Union county. This M.*w>..i6n hai> been ' agitated for some time, and there < are many who favor the legalized ' sale of whiskey for the reason that they believe prohibition does not prohibit. Many others favor the legalized sale of whiskey for the revenue. 1 Many others favor the legalized sale of whiskey for the reason that they desire it to be handy. They drink it and feel that they have a right to drink it. ^ We cannot but feel sympathy for each and every one holding these views. But we see no reason to change our views upon the question. The whole business is one that contaminates and degrades. To legalize the ? sale does not change the nature of the thing itslf. We have opposed selling whiskey legally and we have opposed seling it illegally. We have constantly, persistently and always opposed the business for the reason , that we believe it to be full of iniquity and shame. We shall continue to oppose it and make no apology to anyone for our opposition. I I JOHN GARY EVANS WRITES ! TO SENATOR TILLMAN | I i State Chairman Cautions the Senator j Not to Become Uqduly Alarmed as to Course of Committee. Spartanburg, Sept. 17.?John Gary Evans, chairman of the State executive committee, today gave out the ( following letter to Senator Tillman: "Spartanburg, Sept. 14, 1912. "Hon. B. R. Tillman, Trenton, S. C. "My Dear Senator: I have your letter of September 12, concerning the political situation As I wrote you before, I am satisfied that every member of the subcommittee appointed by me to investigate the charges of fraud in the late primary election is an honest man, anxious and willing to do what is right and to save the primary. It is very unfortunate that Chairman Stevenson could not meet with the committee on the day it was called, j ne wrote me tnat it was impossible I for the reason that his wife was quite 1 ill and it was necessary to place her I in a hospital in the North, where I learn he has gone. I am informed that he expects to return to the State within a week's time, but in order not to delay the committee he called Mr. Butler and W. B. Wilson to meet him in Charlotte that he might give them his views as to the method of procedure . I had preseumed that the committee had been informed of the situation. I have stated my position clearly to both sides of the committee, as there appears to be two sides. I am sure that none of them * desire to delay a matter so important to our people one moment, but the committee could not be expected to I make undue haste to the neglect of its ? duty. I think you are unduly alarmed 1 and trust that you will do all in your * power to prevent any undue excitement to our people, as both candi- 5 dates for governor have expressed a desire that this investigation be had ^ and we wish to give the nominee a clean title so that our people may go * to the polls united. They will not do so under the charges of fraud. The ^ great thing now to be accomplished is the preservation of our white man's primary and I am sure this is the * feeling of every member of the exec#'^ tive committee. You nmvreat f sured thaf thlscommfcfe^lT lncaph-T| ble of counting out anybody and they I < feel the gravity of the situation as 1 much as you do. Do not get excited and lose confidence in men who have 1 been selected to direct the affairs of the party until you have direct evi- * ience of wrong doing. If the subcommittee does not report within a rea- * sonable time I shall take the necessary steps to preserve the rights of all parties concerned. With best regards, ^ "Truly yours, "John Gary Evans." Mt. Tabor Dots. 1 Mt.
