Opium Habit in Franco.

Official investigation into the re-
ported growth of the opium habit in
France discloses conditions of most
alarming nature. In Marseilles and
Toulon, where the vice is particularly
rampant. whole streets were found
with an opium den in every house and
a prevailing state of things equal to
the worst corners of any Chinese
town.
The government has become
alarmed, and it is proposed to fix on
the drug tariff of an absolutely pro-
hibitive nature. with a view to eradi-
eating the evil.

We take pleasure in presenting to
the voters of Lexington county for
their consideration the claims of Mr..
q. x. Gunter for Attorney General.
This young man has made record
in his profession that has excited the
favorable comments of some Of the
brightest and ablest Jurists of the
State. During his public life, his
record has been clean and above re-
proach, being thoroughly acquainted
with all the details of the Office foc
which he is candidate. As lawyer
he stands without an equal. His
opinion has time after time been sus.
tanned by the court Of last resort. A
vote for him means vote for honesty
and competency in Office. The people
of Lexington know him we'll, he hav-
ing grown up from infancy to young
manhood in their midst and they
know of what stuff he is made of and
therefore have every confidence in
him and will give him a large vote on
the Goth.

The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1902-08-20

In this issue We reproduce an ad-
mirable sketch of the public services
of Hon. George Johnstone, of New
berry, candidate for United States
Senator, and we take pleasure IN
bearing testimony to his fitness and
competency for the office which he is
seeking. Colonel Johnstone is ore
of the brainy men in the State and
as an attorney and counselor be has
no superiors and but few equals.
Being logical reasoner, combined
with an eloquent delivery makes his
utterances both convincing snd i'm
pressive. Clean in record and faith
full in all his obligations as a man
and citizen he can be relied upon
trusted to act we'll his part in any
emergency. On the great political is
sue he is sound and orthodox, with the
the exception of the tariff and few
other minor ones, but on these we
have hopes that when he goes to
Washington as a Senator from the
State of South Carolina and the rep
resentative of it's progressive people
he will see things in different light,
being broad and liberal minded, his
views on them will doubtless un-
dergo radical change.
This being an election in which
the discussion of all issues have been
positively forbidden by the power that
be except those specifically approved,
and those only afirmatively, by the
twice rejected Kansas City platform,
measures have been eliminated and
the choice is narrowed to men ogly,
therefore We can consistently say Mr..
Johnstone possesses in an eminent
degree all the qualities of character,
disposition and training which marks
the astute statesman and the patri-
otto citizen. His experinces in pub
lie life and his gifted intellect are
such as to make them valuable to
the State and useful to his consti-
tuente, and his election, under exist
ing environtment, would be credit
to the State.

DR.. W. 81. Zimmerman is conceded
by every one whom we have heard
express themselves to be one of the
purest men in the State. It is GER
tain that his public and private life
is above reproach and against whom
no whisper or breath of suspicion has
ever been heard. These being indis-
putable facts what more do the peo-
pie of the State require in their Chief
Magistrate?
Doyou want purity in office? Then
vote for DR.. Zimmerman for Gov
ernor.
Do you want honesty, competency
and ability, then vote for DIR. Tim
norman and you will have all three
of these virtues combined in one man.
Do you want man vino will fear.
lessly and with even and exact justice
enforce the laws of the State as he
finds them upon the Statute books,
then vote for DR.. Zimmerman.
all things considered, DR.. Tim
norman is the most eligable candi-
date for Governor before the people
today.
We find some men who say that
they would vote for DIR. Zimmerman
but they do not care to lose their
vote. Now,in all honesty and candor,
how do they know they will lose it by
voting for him. His chances are
equal to any candidate in the race
The result is mixed up with consid-
erable uncertainty and if those who
want purify in the politics OF our
State will do what they ought to do
they will give the Doctor that assis-
tance and encouragement thet will
place him in a position where he can
accomplish q great deal along this
line.

Hon. W. 81. Sharpe, candidate for
COMPTROLLER Gen ersl, is q Lexington
county boy, having been born and
reared in the sand hills of the county
By reason of adverse circumstances,
has had to fight the battle of life by
byhis own unaided efforts. With COM
mendable persistency and praisewor-
thy industry and pluck he allowed
nothing to turn him from his fixed
purpose OF making his mark in the
world. He has succeeded in carving
ont for himself name and reputa-
tion that is now. State wide and in
which any young man might justly
take pride. We have watched his
record during the present campaign
with much interest: and if the news
paper accounts, concerning him be
true, which they doubtless are, be is
making a winning race.
Today Senator Sharpe stands on
the State ticket as Lexington's repre-
sentative and patriotism and county
pride should induce every voter to
lay aside all personal preferences and
give him their hearty and undivided
support on the 26th. That he is
competent to faithfully and accept
ably discharge the duties Of the Of
fee is not questioned even by his op-
ponents, and that he is the equal in
every other respect is admitted by
nearly every one, and for these and
other considerations Lexington coun-
ty expects each one Of her sons to
support him at the polls on next
Tuesday. Voter, your duty to your
county is plain, and that is to vote
for W. q. Sharpe for Comptroller
General. See to it that you do SO.

A Card.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

10 the Editor OF the D!spstch:
As some parties are circulating
rumor questioning my competency
to discharge the duties of the ofice
for which I am candidate, I wish
to state as a matter of information to
the voters of Lexington county that
I spent ten years of my life at school
and am proud to say that I have
been able to gain sufficient knowl-
edge to fit me to perform all the busi-
ness that has come before with en-
tire satisfaction. I have b cen no.
tary public for sometime and have
had considerable experience in draw
ing land deeds and mortgages. 1
have also been builder and con-
tractor for several years and am now
successfully engaged in merchan-
dising and farming.
I wantit distinctly understood that
I am running on my own merits and
not on the dement's of my opponent,
and while I am nothing but a poor
country boy, raised on the farm, still
I have an ambition to rise in life and
be of. some service to my county and
am thankful to know that the peo-
pie of old Lexington will never turn
their back on boy who has started
at the bottom rung of the ladder and
is trying to make his way up in life,
and who wants to show to them that
he is worthy of that for which he is
seeking and asking for.
All the promise I have to make to
the people is that if they honor me
with the office it shall be my OBJ
ject to give them honest and faithful
service, and I shall see to it that the
interests Of the widow and the Or
phan, as we'll as those of every one who
has business with the cfGce shall
have fair and courteous treatment, and
if am elected T will exert every
nerve in me to prove true to the
honor entrusted to me and at the
end of my term to bring back to the
people my commission as clean and
spotless as it was the day when it
was entrusted to me, and I will ever
feel grateful for your support.
Very respectfully,
| Ioor Hayes.
