NSpensary Voted Down.
Despite Senator Tllmuu's lnflu-
ence and the Loss Of Liquor
Profits the Vote Against the
Institution was Heavy.
Observer Bureau,
Hotel Jerome.

Columbia, S. c., Nov. 9. The
overwhelming majority with
which the people Of Cherokee
county yesterday voted out the
diSpensaries. in the face OF Sena-
tor Tlllman's speech in advocacy
of the dispensary here recently
and this being the grSt election
OF the kind under tho amended
Brice bill, has created rude lar
in dispcnsary circles here to-day.
The county elected its dispcnsurles
decisivclY, although in 30 doing
it threw away $500 year by
the act; the dispensary Income to
the city and comfy amounted to
about 81, 500 n year and the half
mill tax which the amended Brice
bill requires county voting out
dlspenlar TO levy to enforce
prohibition comes to more than
this. The result IN Cherokee
has greatly encouraged the advc-
Gates of the original Brico bill,
which gave the counties the right
to vote their dispensnries without
extra tax and without forfeiting
any part of their desrensary
school fund. Shls anti-lispon-
ry victory increases the probility
OF the success of those who will
renew the fight in the coming
Legislature for the enactment of
the original Brlce Bill. 1t will
encourage other counties to renew
their fight aginst their dispense.
ries. 1t has renewed the talk
which has been growing in volume
throughout the State the diaper-
sary macnlne is reeking with cor
ruption and that the core of the
trouble is located in the central
dispensary here; it caused reyi,
val of recent talk of eX.members
OF the board showing sudden and
great increase in their property
holdings and cash balances; it has
mademore insistant the complaints
which have been heard through
out the State that standard and
reliable whiskey houses have no
chance in the comprehension 5usi-
uess with the South Carolina
dispensary, and that as result
the meanest grades of stuff are put
upon the patronsof the dlspensary
The storm seems to be gathering
force, and unless there are deci-
ded changes which will reogan-
ize and purify the syste m it is
not unlikely that the next Legis-
latrre will sweep the whole busi-
ness from the State.

fore the body get cold in death, lot of

this section and an administrator APP
pointed to take charge of the effects and
see that the relatives of the old man are
