sons first election under the Ward sys-
ten of government. There were only
one candidate each in Wards 8 and g..
In Wards ., 3 and 4 there were two
each, while i'll Ward there were three.
In the latter Wald neither of the can
didatcs received a majority OF the votes
cast, and as a consequence second

van had no opposition rs candidates
for School Trustees, and received al
most the unanimous vote cast in all the
Wards
When the Executive Committees of
the Democratic Clubs Of the city met

in the race for Mayor by Mr. Hood,
charging gross irregularities and illegal
voting. The committees then passed
over the vote for Mayor and set next
Friday rs the time for hearing the con
test. The committees declared the
gentlemen receiving n majority of the
votes cast in Wards 9, 3, 4, s and 6, and

The health of our community is not
very good at present.
We noticed in last weeks issue that
your Lebanon correspondent had been
requested to ask the following question::
s'if Il prohibition law is enacted in the
State of South Carolina and a men
secures a license from the United States
government, can the laws of South
Carolina prohibit him from selling
liquor inside the State?" This is n very
simple question, and we will almost
venture to say that the person who
prompted "Nerxcs" to ask tho above
question only wishes to gain some
feasible plea against prohibition. How
ever, if our friend will refer to the
Constitution of tho United States. Arti-
Gle 4. Section 1, he will find the follow
ing: "Full faith and credit shall be
given i'll each State to tho public acts,
records and judicial proceedings Of
every other State. And the Congress
may, by general laws, prescribe the
manner in which such acts, records
and proceedings shall be proved, and
the effect thereof" Also, in Section II,
Article g, of the Constitution Of South
Carolina will be found: "In the excr-
else of the police power the General
Assembly shall have the right to pro-
i hiui1 tho manufacture alJ. sssss.ss, aaaiS;
retail Of alcoholic liquors or beverages
| within the State"
Ill health prevents our boosting the
good road question with loud whoops.

The charge Of Senator Tillman was

This afternoon Bishop Duncan, in
conversation with a reporter, said that
the reckless statement of Senator Till
man was all outrage and disgraceful to
come from anyone, more especially
from United States Senator. The
Bishop said he made it his business to
nail Il falsehOod whenever it came, no
matter whether from the President OF

should not submit to such O charge and
should demand of Senator Tillman an
