Louisville. KY, Jan. IA committee
composed of one bishop. two business
mon, and the county clerk. yesterday
went over the ballots returned from
the late election in order to certify TO
their condition. number. and markings.
County Clerk George Webb. whose last
day in office was yesterday. called on
Bishap Dudley Capt. J. II. feathers,
Samuel l.. Avery. and Mai George b.
Eastin to favor him by examining the
ballots and certifying TO them. The
work was begun yesterday morning
and finished last night. Bishop Dudley
and the others of the committee had
the best intentions, but their exam
inatlon of the ballots has made the
election tangle worse than ever. There
are contests over a number OF offices
and the cases are to he taken to the
courts. The ballots were to be used as
evidence. The Democratic attorneys
now claim that the bishop and his TEL
low committeeman had no earthly
right to handle the ballots. and that
having done SO. the ballots were worth
less. They say no court would admit
them as evidence. The Republican at
torneys. who were anxious to get the
ballots Into court. are SAYING little,
but they are sorry the gentlemen ac-
cepted Webb's invitation. Webb was
simply custodian OF the ballot boxer
and had no right. attorneys say, to IN

"Col. Watson was born at the old
family home near Ridge Spring, in
Edgefeld County, fftY-two years
ago. He led an active life while
in Edgefeld, and in 1876 came to
Columbia to join his fortunes with
this community. For a mum ber
ofyears he was established in the
machinery business, under the firm
narae of Tillman Watson & Co.,
and after retiring from this busi-
ness he was engaged in the word
of 6, contractor and builder up to
the time of his death.
Col. Watson married Miss Helen

SOMETHING NEW.

The new school known as the
Orangeburg Collegiate Institute,
located at Orangeburg, S. c., will
open Sept. 26th. The trustees have
secured seven graduate teachers
and can now accommodate two or
three hundred pupils. There will
be Literary, Business, Music, Art,
Normal and Military Departments.
The Institute will be co-educa-
tional, welcoming both boys and
girls. Two large dormitories will
afford ample room for all boarders,
one being for boys, the other for
girls. The plan for boarding is the
cooperative one, board being put
at cost, which will be about SIS a
month. Our motto is "The best
possible school at the least posi-
BILE cost" Our course is compre-
hensive, thorough, and cheap. This
is a Baptist school but all are well
come. We purpose making the
school so cheap that the great farm
ing and industrial classes can edu-
cate their children here. The girls
boarding department is limited to
rs, and is being rapidly filled up
first applicants get these special
privileges. For further informa-

EDGEF1ELD-s D-sALUDA
TION.

The State Beard of Control COM
mitted an act of egregious folly
that rises to the dimensions Of a
crime wheE they reduced the price
of liquors sold at the dispensaries.
And for it there is not particle OF
reason--not a shadow or scintilla
of excuse. 1t decreases the revenue
to the GOWNS, the villages, the State
and, horrible dictu, increases drink
ing and drunkenness. We hope
the board will reconsider the mat
ter at an early date, and if any
change is to be made in price let ii
be higher. The great boast of the
dispensary law was that it was
framed to reduce the evils OF
drinking, and the most of us sup
ported it with that object in view
but this reduction business is a
keeping the promise to the cal
and breaking it to the hope.
