FEEDING ANIMALS in WINTER.

Become Pets.
OF the animals that We can coax
about our houses, the gray squirrels
become most friendly. Put nuts in
convenient places and they will make
frequent trips for supplies, but only
on comparatively mild days will they
remain long outside their comfortable
winter quarters. where they usually
have plenty of food stored.
In Central park. New York, the
gray squirrels have become SO accus-
toned to being fed that they have to

and rely chiefly on what they can
pick up each day. Red squirrels can
be coaxed by means Of food, but they
are very questionable fellows; in fact,
the general opinion IL decidedly
against them, owing to their partial
ity for eggs and young birds. Chip
munks hibernate in their under.
ground homes. SO we cannot count on
them for winter visitors.

Union County Joins Ranks

Special to The State.
Union, a ug. I5.-Union
county today joined the ranks Of
prohibition counties by more
tremendous majority than even
the most sanguine temperance
workers had anticipated. The
complete returns tonight show a
majority of $50 and the vote
against the dispensary to be on
the basis Of over 2 to I.
A great deal of interest has
been manifested in this fight for
temperance reform, particularly
within the last week, as the dis
pensary forces have been unusual
ly active, bringing here one Of
their great champions, Senator
Cole l.. Blcasc Of Ncwbcrry, and
employing an attorney, w. Boyd
Evans Of Columbia, to block the
election by having an injunction
taken out This latter attempt
failed, Judge Townsend refusing
the injunction. The evidence sub
mitted was insufficient and the
very fact that an effort was made
to take away their rights as citi-
zens added many votes to the
prohibition column, and state
ments made by both Blease and
Evans on the stand, when speak
ing last Saturday, turned hitherto
dispcnsary friends into foes. The
voting was rather light, the total
number ofvotes cast being I,I7S.
The number cast in the primary
last August was 2,o75, and in the
general election in November
1904, was 1851.
The very noticeable falling off
in the number Of votes cast today
was largely accounted for by the
very strict and Impartial enforce
ment Of the election law requiring
voters to present their registration
certificates and tax receipts be-
fore being allowed to cast their
ballots.

Minister OF The Gospel Hurls
Lie At BleaSe.
Rev. P. H. E. Derrick Charges
the Senator from Newberry
With Insulting and Impug-
ming the Christian Min
istry.
Special to The State.

SPCCidi 10 He Otdte.
Newberry, Aug. Is.-An un-
expected sensational dispensary
debate took place at Young's grove
today, when Rev. c. M. Boyd Of
Prosperity. outraged at statements
made by c. L. Blease concerning
the Christian church and ministry,
protested eloquently.
Following this and at the close
of the speaking Blease was halted
by the Rev P. H. E. Derrick, who
charged him with insulting and
impugning the Christian ministry.
On Blease's denial that he had
made certain remarks in his speech
Rev. Derrick threateningly and
fatty contradicted him, renewing
the accusation. Blease turned to
walk away but before he had talk
en- 20 steps Rev. Derrick shouted
after him the words, "and if you
deny it you are a liar" Mr..
Blease took no notice Of the words.
While denouncing general hy-
pocrisy and corruption in his
speech, Mr.. Blease said that if all
the rascals were turned out Of the
churches there would not be a
quorum left next Sunday, and
that he had never known a preach
er who would not take a gamblers
money.
The whole affair created intense
feeling. Mr.. Jones also interrupt
ed Mr.. Blease to express his in
dignation.
Aside from the above incident
the day was without marked
features.
All of the speakers acquitted
themselves we'll and were listened
to with attention but at no time
was there great enthusiasm.
John c. Goggans presided, in
Producing Arthur Kibler as the
first speaker. DR.. Geo. B. Crom-
er and A. c. Jones followed.
A letter was read from ]. A.
Sligh, regretting his inability to
be present on account of sickness.
Mr.. Blease's speech followed,
being the only one on the dispen-
sary side. After the incident be-
tween Mr.. Blease and Rev. Boyd
the crowd called for Mr.. Boyd on
the platform. He responded elo-
quently for prohibition. The
crowd was estimated at about 500.
