Now that the primary election is
over end the result, as far as some
of the candidates are concerned,
is known beyond paradcenture,
it becomes the defeated ones to bear
up under their sore disappointment
like men. It is q settled fact that
all in the race could not be elected.
There were too many candidates and
not enough Offices to make this pos
sible, so some had to be left and it
might as we'll be those that have been
as for those who have not been. We
know that it is very desirable to have
the satisfaction of knowing that from
among all the candidates for the Of
flee for which you were striving that
you were selected by your fellow citi-
zens to discharge the duties thereto
pertaining, and in your exuberance
over this fact, the tendency is to for
get the chag,in and disappointment
of others. So bear up under defeat.
Because a candidate is defeated is
no reason to assume that it was from
want of confidence and respect. 1t
oftentimes happens that the voter is
put to his wits's ends to choose be
tween two candidates of equal merit
as regards character, ability and
friendship and in voting for one in
preference to the other it by no means
reflects upon the other. Cast aside
your disappointment and harbor no
bitterness; but regard defeat philo-
sophically and accept the inevitable
gracefully if not cheerfully: give the
successful candidates the warmest
support and you will have turned
defeat into victory.

Just as good, just as pure and just as
earnest prohibitionists as is the R'7.
Joab Edwards, men who would gladly
and even joyfully hail the day when
King Alcohol was dethroned, but who
are warm supporters Of the dispen-
sary system for controlling the sale
of whisky, because they consider it
the only practical solution Of theprob
lem and regard the present SO called
prohibition movement as an effort on
the palt of the whisky men to de-
feat the dispensary and establish
cross road bar rooms, and the anti
Reformers who want to kill the move
ment. He is supported principally
by men who have "stolen the livery
of heaven to serve the devil in" The
News and Courier, a notorious advo-
cate of the whisky interest editorislly
announced last week that prohibition
was not the issue, the question was
narrowed down to men and not meas
ures. 1t was anything to beat FL
lerbe because he impartially enforced
the laws as he found then. We
agree with that paper that prohibl-
ton is not the issue, but that it is
supreme effort to destroy the Reform
movement, and as an evidence OF this
notice the vote of O. arleston which
gave an avowed advocate of high Ii
cense large msjority for Governor
in the first primary. Notice the
vote in all the cities where blind IT,
gers flourish and it will be found that
their vote went to men who it was
thought would "smile" at the infrac-
ton of the law. These men have
s,ught to drown the dispensary law
in a bath of human blood; they have
tried to wipe it out Of existence in
the meshes of the law, and failing in
these efforts they now hold out their
cloven hand to the prohibitionists in
the hope of encompassipg its de
struction.
Is it prohibition that you want, then
you can obtian it through the pres
ent law. Propositions were made
to open dispepsaries at Swansea and
Leesville, but the people didn't want
them and they were not opened. 1t
is the duty Of every Reformer to 60
to the polls Tuesday and vote for
Ellerbe because he has been true To
the principles Of his party.

To the Voters Of Lexington County:

~ I&4S ' SSS&S S@ ~SS>$>~SosSo>
I have been confined to the house
since the 18th of August, suffering
from severe attack of infammatory
rheumatism, 80 that I have been un
able to get about; and for this reason,
since the said date, it has been i'm
possible for me to make the rounds
of the campaign and thereby present
my candidacy to the people, face to
face, as I would like to do. While in
this condition of health, I understand
that certain rumors have been indus.
triously circulated to the effect that
if I should be elected to the Office OF
County Superintendent Of Education,
that I would have my son to attend
to the office. l take this opportunity
of saying to the voters OF my county
that this rumor is without founda-
ton and absolutely false. 1 have
other business for my son to attend
to of more importance to him than
that. It has been my intention from
the start, and I pledge myself now,
if elected, to 1un the Office myself.
1 feel that I am fully competent to
fill the office acceptably to the peo-
pie otherwise I would not have
entered the race. There are other
rumors of which I have heard, but
are of such nature as to be un-
worthy of my notice, and 1 feel will
be spurned by all honest voters OF
my county. Being unable to meet
and counteract such reports on &C
count of my physical condition, is
my sole reason for resorting to the
columns of the newspaper.
Approaching the favors that the
people Of my county have already
shown me and thanking them in adj
vance for whatever service they may
see fit to show me on next Tuesday,
Iremain, very respectfully,
G. E. Leaphart.

We are just now passing through
one of the dullest seasons of the
year. The derth of collections forci-
bly, reminds one of the darkest hour
of the late panic. There are several
reasons to account for this business
depression at this time, chief among
which, however, we of the South do
not fully appreciate the value Of di-
versiied crops and diversified indus
tries. We are unwilling to depart
from the beaten tracks our fathers
and grandfsthers trod in generations
ago. We have signally failed to suit
ourselves to the change conditions
wrought by the results Of the late
war. The evidence of our own ex
perience and the lessons drawn from
an inl>lligent and thoughtful obser-
vation teaches US that those pro-
gressive and far seeing men, who
grasped the situation and broke away
from the cumbersome Environments of
of the decayed relics of dead and
buried pass,are the ones who have Won
fortunes favors and are successful in
all their business undertakings; while
on the other hand, as a rule, it is
found that those people who have
death grip upon old ideas, and will
not turn loose for fear of doing some
thing for the betterment of their con-
dition which the ante bellums did not
do, are those who are termed "ca-
lamity howlers," the persons who are
sitting on the ragged edge of dis
pair" whining about hard times and
from whom the angel of hope has
taken it's departure. Let any one who
honestly disires to be informed on
political and financial economy faith
fully study the conditions of those
States north of what was known
as the Mason and Dixon line and
those south of the same line. The
first named are today in prosperous
condition. The farmers are we'll 10.
do with healthy bank account; and
their banks in fourishing condition
aud vaults crowded to oyelfowing
with money which can find no bor-
rowers even at the minimum rate
of interest; Notwithstanding the
unequal, in some respects, competi-
tion her mauufactt ries are thriving
and their employees are paid living
wages and are enable not only to
keep the wolf from the door but to
lay aside each pay day enough for the
rainy days and to live in comfort in
the sunset days Of life. Reverse the
scene and in comparison what Woe
full picture of penury we behold.
Our heart sickens and We become
bowed aud saddened when We con-
template our condition. The
situation Of the South is too
we'll known to be enlarged upon
at this time and with saddened
and sorrowful hearts we drop
the curtain upon the PROSTATE
form of the stricken South. There
is q cause for these conditions and q
remedy for the disease. Free trade
is the cause and protection is the
remedy. Let US apply the remedy
ard cure our financial sickness.
