MORE DISPENSARY ELECTIONS.
Elections were held on Tuesday of
last week in the counties of Florence,
B?rry and Lancaster upon the dis
pensary question. ?lorry and Lan
caster voted out the dispensary by
overwhelming majorities, but in Flor
ence tho dispensary supporters made
a desperate light and succeeded in
saving the institution by a majority
of less than a hundred votes. Flor
ence is the only county that haB voted
to retain thc dispensary. All the
others in which elections huvu beca
held-Cherokee, Pickens, I Inion, New
berry, Marion, Horry Lancaster and
York-have declared by overwhelming
majorities that their citizens do not
want it.
They have seen it fairly tried and
have marked its slimy trail through
the twelve years of ita existence.
They have observed videncos of cor
ruption in the system that they could
sot prove. They have Been mon aa
cused of graft hold up their hands in
holy indignation at the charge, men
whose guilt was measured in a way
by the very loudness of their pro ten
tations of innocence. Tho investi
gating oommittee did a good work in
chewing tLc whole tendenoy of the
dispensary system towards graft and
corruption, and the little evidence
they unearthed was sufficient to indi
cate what was going on. The dispen
eary has been judged by its fruits.
The result is only what might have
been expected. It will have to give
way to some bet. jr solution of the
liquor question. Its failure has been
completo. .
In the course of another month thc
people of Anderson County will have
an opportunity to vote upon the ques
tion, and every qualified voter should
go to tho polls and oast his ballot.
There is no doubt of the result in An
derson County, but that is no reason
why thoBe opposed to tho dispensary
should stay at home and refrain from
voting. The matter is a vital ques
tion affecting a moral ienue of
great importance to every citizen. A
full vote should ba polled, and the
victory fer the es ?m? of temp?rance
and good citizenship should be made
as complete as possible.
The Laurens cotton mill ease, which
has attracted widespread interest in
this State, has boen practically settled
by au ordertet Judge Pritchard grant
ed in the FesTfgal Courts. The defen
dants, W. B; Lucas and others, are
enjoined from proceeding further in
the courts of South Carolina and from
interfering otherwise with the com*
plainants, 8. M. Milliken and others,
of New York. The effect of the order
will be to give the Milliken interests
control of the mill, for which the two i
factions have been contending.
The investigation now being con
ducted by the legislatura of New York
into the affairs bf great metropolitan
life insurance oompanies is bringing
sensational ovldenoo to light. The
Mutual Life, the New York Life and
.? :?heEquitable have all beon guilty of
gross misuse of the funds of. the policy
holders. Insurance affords a means
of protection to policyholders that
moat of them could not otherwise get,
t>ai; the publia'confidence in the ia
tegrity of the companies has been
greatly ehakon. The rates seem td bo
too highr as proof of whioh the oom
panics Bave gotten immensely rieh
and ar? among the strongest trusts in
the world* The misuse of funds ap
plied to campaign contributions to the j
Republican party end to graft among |
the officers and directors of tho oom*

With thc continued prosperity
that is now blessing this State there
is every indication that thc State
Fair for 1005 will he more largely
attended than ever before itt its his
tor}. Last year the i'outh Carolina
State Agricultural and Mechanical
Society celebrated its annual Fair
at \:< new home in the southern su
bura of Columbia. As is usually
the case, there were some little de
tails that could not be finished f<?r
thc holding of the iast Fair, but
President (ioignard bas luid a full
year in which to have all of these
rough spots smoothed out, and the
outlook is that never before in its
history will the Slate Fair have a
nioic succeesful hair than that
which is lo bc held here on < Jctober
\|ih. 25th. 20th. and 27th, inclusive.
The inquiry for space at the
'.rounds, as well as from small ex
hibitors, indicate a very general ap
preciation of the value of such ex
hibas. A great deal of interest is
being shown in the mechanical de
vices for use in agricultural .pur
suits. From the inquiries that have
been received there will he quite a
nu Tiber of labor-saving devices ex
hibited, and. of course, all up-to
date farmers want to see these
things.
There is, however, a far more in
teresting phase of the State Fairs
iban the mere exhibits in the build
ings on thc ground; und that is thc
opportunity for intercourse'between
lue people of the State that the
State Fair offert'.
The railroad rates are always
cheaper for thc State Fair than at
any other time, and more people
come to Columbia during^ Fair
Week than during any other of the
fifty-two weeks of thc year, in fact,
pretty much everybody who is any
body in South Carolina is herc dur
ing Fair Week. Relatives, friends
and acquaintances from all parts
of the State gather in Columbia to
talk about the joys and sorrows of
the year, and lo join in the festivi
ties. It is thc one week that is given
up aimost entirely by the people of
thc State towards having a good
time, and the family gatherings and
reunions that have already been
planned for the coming Fair Week
all go to show that this custom at
each succeeding State Fair is being
more emphasized than ever.
One of the particular attractions
for a great many folks will be the
fact that the 650 cadets of Clemson
College will be encamped hore <Viw
ing the entire Fair Week. They
will give dress parades and drills
each day while here, and wit! have
ample time in which to mingle with
their friends.
A great many people* in this
State now are taking a keen interest
in football. Two of the best games
of the year arc played here during
L each Fair Week, In one of these
games the team of the South Caro
lina College participates, and in the
other Clemson College engages.
Both of these teams are strong and
manly, and two exciting games are
io bc expected.
The southern territory4 is devel
oping a very strong hors?racing
field. More and better horses are
i brought Here to participate in the
races. The finest racetrack, in this
territory is at thc State Fair
Grounds, and it has been cstab
: lishcd at a considerable expense.
Every comfort for the patrons as
well as for the fine racers has been
provided.
The city pf Columbia; in addition
to extending a cordial welcome t?
? the visitors, has arranged for free
street attractions. Even if thew
were ik> free street attractions, the
people of South Carolina ought not
to miss the chance ?f meeting (heir
! friends from all parte of the State
in Columbia on October 34th, 25th,
26th, and 27th, inclusive.

President Smi?fi Says Hold Colton.
The following appeal to the farmers,
merchante and bankers of the State ie
mad? by the president of tho Southern
Cotton Association, Mr. E. D. Smith:
To the Farmers, Merchants and
Bankers of South Carolina: In view
ol the present decline in the price of
cotton I consider it my duty to make |
an appeal to tho farmers to hold their
cotton off the market. I ask thr.t the
merchants and bankers assist them in
doing thin. The merchants by not
pressing them, and the bankers by
lending them sufficient money on their
cotton to enable them to meet the ob
ligation* that cannot be deferred.
The price fixed by thc executive com
mittee at Aehevillo at ll cents may
seem to some rather high, but when
tho New Orleans convention fixed cot
ton at 10 cents the difference between
thocuirent price at that time audio
cents was very much greater than the
current price now and ll cents. You !
will recall that cotton when the New
Orleans convention assembled was un
der ?seven, about six and a half. By
standing together, by unity of action,
by a little sacrilico and patriotism, tho
Southern Cotton Association forced
the customer to pay the producer moro
than 10 cents. Have you thought
what that diff?rente iu price meant to
tho individual and tho South? The
S-rower has a right to lix the price of
jin product, and can lix it if he will
stand by this Association, which is
making a gallant light to leo.op the
epeculaiorr, from getting cotton at
their own price.
Let every farmer withdraw his cot-|
ton from the market. This will check
the receipts, and tho market will bc
obliged to advance. If you have to
sell, try to lind some man who will buy
it and retire it from the market.
There are plenty of men in each coun
ty of sufficient means and patriotism
todo this.
In ?pite of the report circulated by
the bears and their* allied interest
who ore trying to depress the price of
your cotton, we are reliably informed
throughout the Southern States,
through the influence of the Southern
Cotton Association, that the farmers
are holding their cotton oft' the mar- j
ket. Let us stand by our Southern
brothers in ibis great ii "ht. It means
the financial emancipr on of our be
loved southland.
In a word the situation resolves it
self into a clear, clean-cut battle be
twixt the farmer and the speculator.
Had the government report been
bullish and conditions reported such
as to warrant an advance in the future
market, it would have been claimed
that conditions warranted or brought
about the minimum prico for w hich we
t\re contending. As it is tue govern
ment has brought out another ridicu
lous estimate as to condition, and the
bears are confidently predicting a
large crop, therefore, if tho farmers
and merchants will now hold off their
cotton-absolutely hold it off-the
spinners must have their supplies and
coming into the market will quickly
raise the price to that of our minimum.
This seems almost another provident
ial opportunity like last year to test
our ability to control the market.
Let every man see to it that' he will
absolutely withhold bis cotton for 80
days. - E. D. Smith,
President S. C. Div. S. C. Association.
