TRIBUTE TO T. J. McCRARY.
Bv One Who Knew Him, Appreciated
and Loved Him.

T. 7. McCrary is dead, Such were
the words that were spoken on yes
terday. with mingled sorrow and sur
prise. soon after the gentle spirit OF
this golden-hearted gentleman took
it's flight. The announcement was
great shock to every one for it was
known that Mr.. McCrary had not
been i'll and all Of us had seen him
moving among us. only the day be-
fore. in apparent health and vlgor.
That the community mourns needs
scarcely to be stated. for he was in
life everbody's friend, his generous
benefac1ions, his kindly deeds, his
words Of good cheer, his broad SYM
pathies. all OF these shone alike in his
splendid nature. gripping everyone
with convictions as 20 his sincerity
and love. This was, if | may speak
the truth. without dissi1nulation,
virtue very rare and by no means
commonplace.
Some OF us who have been long
associated with Mr.. McCrary have
watched his career and have been
gratified ar his successes in all that
he undertook to do. We knew Of his
sterling worth many years ago and
we have rejoiced in his prosperity,
for he was a man who received such
blessings with composure and he
pursued the even tenor Of his way,
doing his gracious acts and living his
useful life without pride or arrogance.
We shall miss him sorely! In social
and in religious life and in business
life. it will be difficult to find his sue
cessor. Mr.. McCrary was Christian
gentleman. modest. always approach
able and ready 70 hear any just ap-
peal full OF convictions. yet never
brusque or harsh, faithful in every
trust liberal giver to every benevo-
lent cause. I pay this just tribute
to the many excellencies OF the de-
ceased. Our friend.

THE DIsPENsARY VOTED OUT.
About Fifty Per Cent CT the Voters
of the County Vote-Dispensary
Defeated Nearly Three to One.

The election on Tuesday passed OF
quietly. About fifty per cent OF the
vote OF the county was cast. lhe
dispensarv was voted out by vote
OF nearly three 70 one of the vote cast.
The managers required the pro-
duction of the registration certificate
and the tax receipt in order TO vote.
If one did not have his registration
certificate and secured certificate
from the clerk of court that he was
registered then he was permitted to
vote. \ good many did not have reg
istration certificates and therefore
were unable to vote.
The developments before the III
vestigating committee had the effect
OF changing good many votes
against the dispensary though it was
generally known and conceded from
the date that the mass meeting was
held here preliminary to ordering the
election that the dispensary would be
voted out. 1t was only question OF
what the majority would be.
Only at one precinct, Helena did
the dispensary fail to receive a vote.
And at one, Central. the mo dlspen-
sary" failed to receive vote
Al eight precincts the dispensary re-
,eivcd a majority. In Newberry the
vote against the dispensary was much
Greater than even the prohlbltlonlsts
expected. The following is the vote
by precincts.

DR.. Pelham in Greer.

The Greer Observer of Thursday
says:
"Dr. w. E. Pelham. Of Newberry,
the representative of the State Sunday
school convention, was present and
made two stirring addresses in which
he .-rcs The importance of this inter-
denominational work.
The doctor has had great deal OF
experience in this work, having been
prominently and actively connected
with the State convention for many
years"
The Observer says also in speaking
Of DR.. Pelham's address edltorlally,
hat the key note was struck when
DR.. Pelham said the purpose OF the
Sunday school was to win a genera
ton for Christ.

and will still be found advocating it
as if no vote was taken yesterday
at ALL The vote was no fair test as
only about IS vi tiic people o1 The
county voted and many OF those WHO
did vote were negroes. Still | am in
favor OF no contest or lawsuits as
believe in the good old democratic
doctrine which is let the majority
rule and I say so be it.
It is not at all probable that there
will be any contest in this county
and the will OF the people as express
ed in the election on Tuesday will be
carried out. Mr.. Boyd Evans who
brought action in Union and Pickens
says he will not interfere in Newber-
~.
The board OF canyasser5 will meet
next TUESDAY to declare the result
and report to the board Of state can
vassers on Wednesday. Section 223
OF the civil code provides that the
secretary OF state shall call the state
board of canvassers together in ten
days after the election SO it will only
be few days more before the cispen-
sary in Newberry will be closed.
There will then be prohibition in
Newberry county and the good citl-
zens should give their aid and as
sistance to the enforcement of the law.
1t is due to those who have beer!
in charge of the dispensary in this
county to say that they have obserV-
ed the law as we'll as any dispensers
in this state and we have heard no
complaint as to their management.
The vote on Tuesday also carried
with if a levy Of one half mill taN on
all the taxable property in the coun-
tv to be put at the disposal OF the
governor in enforcing the law. The
constables will be withdrawn from
the county.
1t will also require an amendment
10 the charter Of the town OF New
berry so as to increase the tax levy
from six mills. the limit now, to ten
mills. to make up the amount re-
ceived by the city from the dispen-
sary profits. II will also necessltate
an additional levy OF about one and a
half mills to the county levy for
ordinary county purposes to make up
deficiency.
