Dlspensary Voted Out Of Newberry.

Newberry, August 30.-All re.
turns from the election on the dis
pensary yesterday, except one small
box, give total vote of 1902. The
vote in the primary last year was
about $500. The vote yesterday
was about half of the vote of the
county. Against dispensary, 8S7
for dispensary, 315.
Senator Cole l.. Blease, who has
been the leading advocate for the
dispensary in this county. and who
is also the author of the resolution
providing for the investigation and
member of the committee, gave
your correspondent the following
statement: 81 have done my duty
t. my people as | have seen it; the
majority of the voters seem TO be
against the dispensary. SO far as l
am concerned l am Democrat and
in favor of the minority submitting
to the will of the majority, and upon
this principle hope that no proceed
ings will be taken in this county,
but that the dispensaries will be
promptly closed, and that the mi
nority will join hands with the ma
jority and assist in giving the people
that for which they have asked. 1
am satisfied that the county would
have gone for the dispensary if it
had been vote such as we have in
the primary elections, as you see,
the towns proper did the heavy vot.
ing and this is not fair expression
of the will of the people. am glad
also that the negro vote went solidly
for emo dispensary," as we did not
wish to win by that. The people
who voted "no dispensary" have
made mistake as they will see be-
fore the years l906-7 pass around. l
am just as much dispensary advo.
cate as ever and propose to stand
solidly to the system on the stump
and in the Senate. / believe it to be
the best solution of the whiskey
question. The vote yesterday in fa-
vor of "no dispensary" does not at
all change my plans or views, nor
will it affect my course. l was
elected last year over "no dispen-
sary" candidate by over 500 votes
and advocated the dispensary at
every campaign meeting that l at
tended and will still be found advo-
eating it as if no vote was taken
yesterday at ALL The vote was no
fair test, as only about one third of
the people of the county voted, and
many of those who did vote were
negroes. Still, am in favor of no
contests or law suits, as / believe in
the good old Democratic doctrine
which is, let the people rule and say
$50 be it," The developments before
the investigating committee had the
effect of changing many votes in
this county against the dispensary,
though the result would probably
have been the same in any event.

The imperial family of Japan is said
to dwell together in harmony under cir
cumstances that would cause domestic
discord, if not disruption, in an ordinary
American family. Her Majesty the Em-
press is several years older than the Mi
kado and though she is the only wife he
has ever had she is not the mother of
four Princesses-of whom the emperor
is the father In case she should become
the mother of son, which. as she is SO
years old, is exceedingly improbable,
the illegitimate children of the Emperor
would have to stand aside. Now they
are accorded the full honors due to mem-
bers of the imperial family.

Special Correspondence from sun,,,a. Peazzas.
 The summer Is fast reaching high tide in the mountains. The inns and country houses are gay with people and life Ia . summer dream for those who appreciate the ripening beauty of the hills that lie at their very doors. Nature is SO near to the heart of the North Carolina moun- taIns' that n short drive brings you to country lanes and inns here and there do not deprive you of the beauties of the country, because of their proximity to many places that may be reached by carriage drive. Almost every day driy- ing parties are formed. the nearby places delightful objective point for an after noon drive. the parties returning with re- newed strength from the cool mountain alr and with growing appetites for the delicious hot supper served on their re- turn. The mountain drives are exhilerat- Ing enough without the added interest of the many stories told by drivers many or whom are veritable historians who knowing every foot of ground every zizzag mountain path, all the countless places of interest. recount as the horses slowly wind their way upward, stories of each locality until one doubts If all of them can be really true, or if they have not originated in the brain of the narrator. In making these mountain journeys, whether one cares to accept all the stories one hears or not, it is of great importance to engage driver who Is familiar with these mountains, who has traversed every foot of your drive, and voluble driver, by all means. If he is talkative. good-natured. and is familiar with western North Carolina. he possesses all the requirements for a successful whip and constitutes in himself a ready sym posium upon all the places he has visited and all the people he has known. He is a guide, an interesting talker, from whom you learn many things you would not know otherwise. and he is rather picturesque type of the summer quite as indispensable as are some other famil- far figures encountered in the summer wanderings The mountain drives are now most inviting.

Two strong horses, accustomed to mountain travelling. are considered cap able of taking so large a party, as owing to the precipitous road at some, points. driving is slow and the journeys are more or less tedious.

SOME HEAVY FINANCE.
Big Scheme Behind Wallace and His
 Leaving Canal.

From the New York World.
 The mystery about the $65,000 a year position which John F. Wallace resigned as chief engineer of the Pan- anna canal is explained by the discov- cry of another gigantic scheme of high finance. The man who induced Wal lace to leave his post on the isthmus is George Westinghouse, president of the Westinghouse Air Brake com pany. MT. Westinghouse, author of the big financial scheme, needed the prestige of a man like Wallace, prom inently identified with a large govern ment undertaking.
 The Westinghouse scheme is to build electric lines to parallel steam railroads wherever in any part Of the country there seems to be a chance for profitable competition. As soon as one of these lines was finished it was to be secretly transferred to the competing line. While it and the others that follow it were to be oper- at by apparently independent com panies, the operating corporations were to be merely dummy concerns, and the receipts were to go into the treasuries of the steam roads. There was to be no real competition and no rate wars.
 It was plann ,d that every electric line would be soli to steam railroad at handsome profit, a share to go to MT. Wallace, who was guaranteed that his total income should not fall below 5000.
 Another ..hase of the scheme was to coerce existing electric lines paral- leling steam roads and honestly en- gagged in competition into selling out to the Westinghouse corporation, or the promise that if they did not sur render another electric line would be built to divide the business. The scheme has been carefully worked out. and already the promoters have selected many sections in which to begin operations.
 Tn some way the President and Sec. retary Taft learned of the whole scheme. They were prepared fol Wallace upon his arrival here, and the result was the severe castigation given to him by the Secretary and the re quest for his immediate resignation.

WEEKEND VISITS.

Sunday, Birmingham is certainly quiet day during the summer months as nearly every one that can. goes away to some nearby resort to either be with their family or run away from the heat of the city. Blount. Cook. Ingram Lithia Wells and Shelby Springs and many other nearby resorts are popular this year. The men who are unable to leave busi- end" and return Monday.
 It has been quite popular for crowds to be arranged to go to these places, and in that way they can have their own friends with them, and this adds greatly to the trip. Most men have a dread of meeting new people at summer places. whereas the women rather "dote on 1t. Of course one will meet all kinds of peo- ple-the talkative and quiet kind-the con fding friend who tells you all her trou- bles, and another kind Is one who has the "handsomest and lovliest husband in the world, and insists on telling every body she meets, and when one does meet that individual they at once have a but we won't say who.
 There IS the slrl Wnose mother says sne Is just IT, and doesn't care for the men; and the elderly lady who grasps the friendship of any one who knew her family in the Cos and 70s.
 The newly married" and the ''muchly married are both there. and seem to be on good terms with each other. There are good children and bad ones. so we think. but the mother of course won't agree there are any of the latter.

HOM E-MADE HATS.

Now that Dame Fashion" ordered that hats. any shape, with bright things and simple pon pons, are the style, 1t is very interesting to know just how the handy girl cheats the milliner by making her hats out of materials that have been laid away and seemed out of date. A little pressing, and perhaps a fresh dye used, hightens and makes the ribbon and lace Hike new" She soon decides, 'Tll make me a hat out of my old straw" She then takes the old shape, scans 1t closely, pronounces 1t "taeky," pernaps sighs In dispair, but a new idea sezes her, 'Ill turn it wrong side out, turn it up behind, and oh how lovely"
 She goes to the box of cast-offs and finds a soiled pon pon. thrusts it into a bowl of suds but how discourag ging-noth- ing can be done wi.h this. Patience dc' tates and it is shaped up. cast into the sun; in a few moments she tears 1t to pieces; with needle and thread binds it together-just the thing. She collects the material, bundles them in her pinafore and seeks a quiet corner The hat Is fln- ished; her hair Is becomingly arranged. She then places it on her head. twists the shape here turns it up there, and pre- Aants herself to view.
 "Oh. how lovely and so stylish. and just think what 1t cost mel Ir Is a pattern hat, and I'll wear 1t to town." She feels so well repaid, for everybody tells her how well she looks. "Of course 1t is the hat, and I'll never let them know where I got it.. The temptation is 100 great, some friends come by and she whispers See my hat! Just to think I made 1t myself and everybody has admired it."

 Paul Morton gets $l00,000 a year, and Admiral Togo 5000. That's about right. Morton has 600,0O0 dissatisfied policy holders to placate and Togo has had only a few thousand Russians to show how to lead a different life. Besides, Togos labors are over, and Morton's have just begun and may never end All Togo has got to do to keep his job and the esteem of the public is to stay afloat, where he can not spend all his money, and to avoid homecomings. What Morton must do could not be tod in a day.
