OUR CORRESPONDENT.
The oispensary Matter-Mr. saddler
Re-elected-A Hot ,
Town.

LAKE CITY, July l4.-Mrs nasei-
den of Charleston has been visiting
the family of Mr. A NJ Shtclifee.
She went from here to Florence.
Mr. H S Cunningham, now Of
Bishopville, was in town last We'd:
nesday. Mr. Cunningham was a
resident of this county and editor Of
the Williamsburg Herald UP to some
fifteen years ago. We understand
that he is still in the newspaper
business and is editor of paper at
the county seat of Lee county.
Constable j d Alsbrook of Co
lumbia was here on business.
We are informed by some of the
most reliable citizens Of the surround
ing country that the seizures of
whiskey made by our town authori-
ties have had u good effect upon the
blind tiger, business in the country
that there is nothing like as much
Illicit liquor sold now as before our
intendent and marshal began their
work.
The book.keeper Of the Star ware
house is Mr. j r Motley, Of Danville,
Va, who came down a few days ago
and took charge Of the books. He
is cousin of the auctioneer of THE
Star.
Mr. E 7 Moody came back to his
old home last Friday. He has been
living in Orangoburg.
The dispeusary matter, in all
probability, is not yet ended. Those
who are opposed to the establish
ment of dispensary here believe
they are in the right. and they will
fight to the last ditch; and are deter
mined that if they shall finally 60
down in defeat, they will 60 with
the full consciousness of having done
all they could do to keep away that
which they are honestly convinced
would be terrible blow not only to
Lake City and Scranton but to
upper Williamsburg county. For
two years they have kept it away and
it is not here yet. And it will be
some time before it comes, if at all'
Those interested are considering IN
appeal to the United States supreme
court. Uupon application Of the
plaintiffs attorneys Justice Woods
last Friday issued an order staying
the remittitur from the supreme
court until the further order of the
court. This stays the whole matter
for the present. When Paul Jones
was asked if he was ready TO sur-
render be made the memorable reply:
81 have inst begun to fight" That
reply won him the battle.
At a recent meeting Of the board
Fof trustees Rev W H Saddler was
reelected principal of our school.
The assistants have not yet been
selected but will be in q short while.
We think the trustees acted wisely
in retaining Rev Saddler. He is a
good man, good citizen and a good
teacher. He gave as general salts
faction as any teacher can reason
ably be expected to give. No one
can please everybody, and the trus-
tees who yield to every kick will
ruin their school. Whereevefsyou
find school that changes teachers
every year, you may mark it down
that there is something wrong with
that school.
Mrs Stack of Pinewood is visiting
relatives in town.
Ground was broken Monday for
Mr. J L C Moore's new store. The
site is just west Of the 6ld building
and right beside it. TIE new House
will be of brick and will measure
twenty-five by one hundred feet.
