In THE DRUG BUSINESS.

The most delicate and responsible
part is filling Prescriptions, TO proper
ly understand the art, and to be quail
fled for the position requires years of
constant toll and study. Hen compe-
tent to discharge that duty are not to
be had for the price of an ordinary day
laborer. knowledge and experience
have in all ages rightly commanded a
price. People lose sight of this fact
when they hagglc and kick because
they can't buy their Prescriptions at
the same per centum Mt which they get
their flour and sugar. Thousands OF
mistakes are made every year by mex
perienced and unskillcd men behind
the Prescription desk, and the reason
10 more fatalities occur is that the ma
.iOrity of the Doctors Prescriptions
contain no poison and while they fail
to accomplish the result desired, no
disastrous consequences follow.
The care and the anxiety and the re-
sponsibility of this thing has robbed
many good man of his health. One
OF the best men ever knew, dprob-
ably the most popular and successful
retail druggist who ever did business
in this Town Though he died pOOr)
absolutely refused in his later years to
fill Prescription under any circum-
stances. And have in my mind an
other who, though comparatively
young and i'll the midst of success, had
to retire, shattered and broken in
health, borne down by the anxicties
and responsibilities of IL retail drug
gist's life; yet people require, and
properly, the very best skill and .xpe-
riencc in the filling OF their Prescrir-
tiOns.
Realizing this fact, we have again,
ut considerable additional expense, Sc
cured the services of DR.. NJ. f.. GAME,
probably the best equipped PharIna-
cist who has ever been in this section
of the State, and we confidently ask
for your Prescription business, guaran-
tecing that everything shall be abso-
lutely accurate and as the.Doctor pre-
scribes.
We have no complaints to make us
to our Prescription business. We have
always, and expect to continue, to fill
q considerable share. We simply want
ed to advise the people of our extra
effort and peculiar fitness by having q
man exclusively for that line.

The first primary election IS ended
and it appears to US that the fact
stands out too plsinly to be misunder-
stood that Governor Ellerbe and the
Dispensary law are not endorsed by
the Democratic voters of South Caro-
lima. Mr.. Ellcrbc went before the
people uron his record for the past
two years, and claiming that the dis
pensary, as it is now administered. is
IS the best solution of the whiskcy
question, and, upon this platform,
asked the people to endorse him for a
second term. But the people have
declined to give him the endorsement
he asked by nearly 10000 votes.
Whether this indicates that Mr.. lillerbc
has failed to measure up to the expccta-
tions Of the people, or whether it
means that they are dissatisfied with
the dispensary as it is now managed,
or both, we are unprcpared to say.
There can be no question of doubt,
however, that change is wanted. We
do not believe that the people intended
to bring about a direct issue between
prohibition aud dispensary; if so that
intention would have shown itself in
the selection of representatives in the
Legislature, which, If we are correctly
Informed, was not done-they we're
certainly not 80 selected in this County
and this cannot be the issue in the
second primary on the 18th instant.
The only question for the people to
decide will be whether such changes
as they desire shall be trusted in the
hands of Mr.. Ellerbe or in the hands
of Mr.. Feethcrstonc. This problem
confronts them: If Mr.. Ellerbc is
elected it means the endorsement Of
his record and the dispensary just as
it stands. One of our contemporaries.
the Greenville Ne,cs, puts this very
plainly as follows: IF Governor FL
lerbe is reelected the dispensary lust
as It ls now managed WILL De endorsed
If MIR. Feathcrstone is elected the dis
pensary law as now managed will be
rebuked and repudiated. Mr.. Feather
stone could not if he was Governor
enact prohibition or local option
law, but his recommendation backed
by vote of the people would have O
powerful influence with the Lcgisla-
ture. That body could enact prohi
bition law, or, if it was decided tha,
the objection of the people to the dis
pensary is more to it's manner of ad
ministration than to the thing itself
could instruct the board Of control t.
make such changes as would execute
the peoples will. Stated briefly, {
vote for Ellerbc will be vote agains,
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1898-09-07

The claim was made in the recent
campaign by the opponents of Mr..
Featherstonc and also by candidates
for the Legislature that combination
had been formed by the ex bark ccpers
and whiskey men who had been forced
out of business by the dispensary law.
But it is significant fact that in
Charleston, where there arc probably
more cx-whiskcy men than in all the
balance of the State put together, out
OF lab votes cast for Governor Mr..
Fcatherstonc received only Is votes;
and in Richland County, in which
Columbia is situated, and which stands
next to Charleston in number of ex-
whiskey men, out of 2,295 votes cast
for Governor Mr.. Fcatherstone re-
ceived 264 votes. This doesn't look
much like there was any such combi-
nation. If there was it made mighty
poor showing, particularly in Charles
ton. Maybe it will work better in the
second primary on the 18th inst.

Wallace Bros. Circus Fails Again to
Secure a Reduction

Attorney Mcfarland was before the city
council yesterday, accompanied by an
agent of Wallace Brothers circus, for the
purpose OF again urging the injustice of
the high license demanded in Los Angeles
for circus privileges. Comparisons with
other cities We're made in plenty and when
the attorney saw that it looked very doubt
full for q reduction Of the general license,
he argued that at least sideshow license
should be RENTED.
At first there was a disposition to make
bluff that the attraction would not stop
in Los Angeles at all unless some reduction
We're guaranteed, hut they finally 'fessed
up and acknowledged that this city was
too soft a thing to be overlooked When
the council saw that the license could be
maintained without putting in jeopardy
their annual chance to see the elephant
and buy red lemonade they denied the
petition forthwith. Attorney Mcfarland
realizes more every day what vast diff
ference there Is between a jury and the
city council
The circus is booked for Los Angeles on

the city and the Los Angeles CITY Water
company and will receive for his services
the fiat sum of $1,000, one-half to be paid by
the city and one-half by the water COM
pany. These statements are warranted by
the action taken by the council yesterday
afternoon on the following report of James
C. Kays, the city's arbitrator:
The undersigned. duly appoin ted arbi-
traitor on behalf Of the city of Los An
geles by and in pursuance to ordinance

After much delay (Which has seemed
jneytable) and most searching inveS-

of third arbitrator, my colleague and
myself have finally agreed upon Col
onel George H. Merdell, a prominent
engineer of San Francisco. Cal. He

ceived today at 10:40 a. m. is as fol-

Healey Arbitrators: In the matter
of arbitration concerning water
works, a net compensate of $4,000
will be accepted. Explained in let

to determine whether the city will agree
to pay one-half of the compensation
named by him. Respectfully,

trating board will then proceed to business
