lrouuht or Qeluqe.

There are hundreds of people
throughout the county who are dis
posed to look upon next Tuesdays S
election as involving only the question
as TO whether or not the dispensary at
Yorkville is to be closed, and for that
reason many who live beyond the trade
limits of this town profess indifference
as to the result.
Some time ago. THE ENQUIRER call
ed attention to the fact that Rock Hill
and Fort Mill. for instance, have more
concern i'm the matter than whether or
not the dispensary at Yorkville be
abolished; that If these towns should
give majorities in favor of the reten-
ton of the dispensary at Yorkville
ii would soon follow that they must
have dispensaries for themselves. The
same people who would vote to retain
the dispensary at Yorkville would nat
urally vote for the establishment of
dispensaries in their own towns.
Our attention has been called to the
fact that while this argument Is rea-
sonable and logical, it leaves out a
consideration that is still more vital
not only to Rock Hill and Fort Mill;
but to Glover, Hickory Grove and 9TH
er incorporated towns in the county.
A majority vote in these towns for the
dispensary next Tuesday will not only
be taken as indicating the local SEN
timent: but If there is dispensary
majority in the county dispensaries
may be established i'm all these towns
without further consideration of the
people of the municipalities concerned.

WANTS II UNANIMOUS.
editor Yorkville ENQUIRER:


While there is no reason to believe
that the dispensary will find any con-
siderable support i'm this section next
Tuesday a number of our people are
more or less concerned at reports to
the effect that the Fort Mill people are
going TO vote for the dispensary.
What the facts in the matter are, we
do not know. We understand that GER
tain more or less unfounded reports
are being circulated constantly with a
view of trying to affect the attitude
of the people to this question:; but as
rule we know pretty well how to size
most of them up.
This writer does not believe that the
Fort Mill people are going back on us
in this matter. In the first place he
sees no reason why they should do so.
and in the second place he thinks that
even if our Fort Mill friends so desir-
ed they could not allow themselves TO
forget the manner in which we have
always stood by them. especially In
seeing that they got proper represen-
tation in the general assembly.
over this way. 1t looks as If prac-
tically all of the registered voters are
going to turn out to the polls and vote
against the dispensary, and we VIII
thank our friends i'm Fort Mill and on
the eastern side generally to do what
they can to make the election unan-
imouS.
Let us vote the dispensary out and
then after it can be no more, let us
crush the tigers.

The trustees Of the Presbyterian
college of South Carolina want 1t un-
derstood that they will not be infiu-

of a location for that institution. They
will be governed by various considera-

best interest of the college and the
church. The following letter, signed
by Revs. w. G. Neville, w. NJ. McPhee-

In the state at large, the wishes OF
municipalities are not consulted as to
the establishment of dispensaries.
That Is matter entirely with the
state and county boards, principally
with the state boards. 1t Is so as to
every county in the state which was
not dry by legislative enactment at
the time when the dispensary law went
into effect. In the case Of counties and
towns where prohibition did not thus
obtain, the state board has been at lib
erty to establish dispensaries as 1t saw
proper.
Had it not been for this provision OF
the law a dispensary would have been
established in Yorkville long before 1t
was, and 1t is probable that there
would also have been dispensaries In
Rock Hill and Fort Mill, and in Hick-
ory Grove and Sharon as we'll maybe.
The only reason that there have been
no dispensaries at these places has
been because Of the opposition of a
majority of the qualified voters, either
implied or actually expressed as In the
case of Rock Hill.
But IL York county votes for the dis
pensary next Tuesday, all the former
safeguards will be swept away. Good
lawyers have called our attention to
this fact and we have no hesitation In
saying that we believe their view to
be correct A majority for the dispen-
sary. will have the effect Of repeating
the provision of law which prevents
the establishment Of dispensary In
an incorporated town except by con-
sent of majority of the qualified
voters and puts the matter entirely
within the discretion Of the state and
county boards.
If majority Of the voters of the
county declare for dispensaries, even
whether a majority Of the voters Of the
different incorporated towns declare
that way or not we may look for the
establishment of additional dispen-
saries without a great deal Of delay.

= Says a Clinton special Of Sept.
20, to the News and Courier: The 26th
session of the Presbyterian College or
South Carolina opened today with bril-
| liant prospects. The enrolment on
this first day was more than the total
for any year In the last ten, and was
more than double that Of the same day
last year. The dormitories are already
full, and II has been necessary to rent
other adjunct buildings for these stu
dents who have applied and are de-
layed for day or two. A number or
he citizens Of the town were present
at the opening exercises this morning
and enjoyed the addresses Of prominent
men, among whom were Congressman
Aiken. the Rev. ]. G. Shire OF Abbe-
| vile, and the Hon. w: A. Stands. may
or of Clinton.
A movement is on foot for the
establishment Of q rife range at
point about four miles from Aiken.
The Augusta troops are the movers
In the matter. Unable to find q
suitable place on the Georgia side
| they have asked General Frost
to give his assistance in estab-
fishing a range at an ideal place In
Aiken county. The Augusta troops
agree to equip the range at cost OF
about $500 and allow the South Car
olina troops equal rights with them
selves. The Federal government has In
hand the establishment Of four official
ranges In different parts of the coun-
| try and Gen. Frost proposes to the
Georgia troops that they join him In
request to the war department to set
tie on the Aiken site as one Of the
proposed ranges.
Columbia special Of Wednesday
to the Greenville News: 1t has been
predicted by those. who profess to be
on the inside that there will be some
thing doing In gambling circles very
shortly. Yesterday q conference was
held by two Of the magistrates Of
this, county on the law which has
been considered by the police COM
mission and IL Is said that the names
of thirty or forty knights OF the green
cloth were passed on and action
ordered which will result In a num-
ber Of them being summoned and
ordered to show cause why they
should not be indicted for gambling.
This ground Is taken because these
named have no visible means Of sup
port and as a result they can be con-
victed of yagrancy.7 There are q num-
Der Of others, however, who own
property and have other means OF
SUPPORT, and these are causing the
commission a great deal of trouble, as
there is no way Of convicting them
except by catching them in the act
Of gambling. '7
