Should Adopt Majority Plan.

The board of county commits
sioners should in future conduct
the election for cotton weigher-
if the place is to be filled by ballot
upon the majority instead Of
the plurality plan, just as all pA-
mary elections are held. The
reasons for this are obvio9g: In
t e' lecti N just h Id the Successful
candidate received less,t' an one
fourth of the votes cast. The fig.
ures show that moyg than 4s5 per
sons market cottm in Edgefeld,
yet 100 voters /ele,ted the public
cotton welgh&r.
Fortun9tely, the necessity for
the majority plan was not urgent
this year, Mr.. Cheatham having
hlle9 the place very acceptably TO
those who patrouiza this market.
However, there may come time,
when by combination Of forces
an incompetent, unreliable man
would be elected under the plurali-
ty plan; whereas, under the ma.
jority plan, he could be defeated,
a greater number of votes being
required to elect. We submit that
100 votes should not elect cotton
welgher if there are 435 ballots
cast in said election.

Apropos of cotton, and Green
wood as market, it is fact that
% few weeks ago the staple was
i bringing about $3.50 more per
sbale in Greenwood than in the
towns surrounding. This knowl-
ledge brought good many to the
scity. Yes, Greenwood pays more
for cotton. She is willing to do
..it, for it means more money in the
city.-Greenwood Index.
). In justice to Edgeftld the AD-
,yERT1sER cannot allow such q
fstatement to 20 urcballenged. For
two years our town has been the
best cotton market in this section
:. OF the state. Last fall hundreds
!; of bales Of cotton were brought to.
This market by farmeis who had
.been III the habit of going to
Greenwood. Furthermore, great
quantities Of the staple from the
western and southern portions of
the county were marketed here,
whereas in former years it was
hauled to Augusta. Some farmers
who carried a portion of their
cotton to Augusta and brought the
remainder here, after accounting
for the loss of time in going to the
former market, were better pleased
with the saies at Edgefeld. The,
have signifed that it Is their pur-
pose to market all of the 1905 |
crop here. {

Great ID the pity thet Senator

deavor to raise the people up to

ing man Of ability, power and

a farmer in Pickens county sold
750 bales of cotton last week for
$4,000. If 100000 bales had
been ss burned earlyin in the spring, as
some shortsighted persons advised,
would it not have been a heavy
blow to those who produced the
cotton ? Now one can see how

dress the meeting was Senator B.

than two hours. After q personal
word to his Edgefeld friends
whom be had not seen in several
years he got down to business, and
proved himself yet to be the fond
and loyal father of his malodorous
offspring, the dispepsary. He al
leges that the corruption and way
wardness of his child, which was
conceived in iniquity aud born
in politics, is due to recent slack
twisted administrations and do
nothing grand juries, being un.
willing to .concede that it is the
system. The senator denies that
tits wrong to sell liquor, and
charges ministers with being fa-
natics who SO interpret the Bible
He believes that if there be
corruption in the dispensary the
investigation committee, which
has already spent $4,000 of the
peoples money, will find 1t out
suggesting certain lines of inves.
tigatioll for them to follow.
The meeting was without es.

colloquy between Mr.. .Talbert and
Mr.. Tillman. While majority Of
the audience seemed to favor the

Eon. B. E. Nicholson

Eon. 3. E. Nicholson
The second speaker to be pre-
sented was Hon b. E. Nicholson,
a member of the House of Repre-
septatives, who espoused the
cause of the prohibition IN no un-
certain terms, stating that be had
given tht, dispensary system care
full consideration and had come to
the conclusion that it was vicious
and corrupt. 1t had increased in
temperance rather than curtailed
the evil as was originally claimed
by it's promoters. Mr.. Nicholson
gave. the figures in this county
which showed that the sales have
largely increased with each Fuc-
ceeding year, and expressed the
belief that if it is not abolished
the sales will reach the enormous
cum of 100000 annually. He
held up a hig standard of citizen
ship. A wholesome public senti.
ment will enforce prohibition il
Edgefeld county, said he, if whis-
key is voted out. Mr.. Nicholson is
a vigorous and forcefuP speaker,
and his argument which was 80
strongly presented made a pro-
found imprEssion upon his audi
[ence IN the person Of B. E. Mich
Olson, the cause Of prohibition
has an able and fearless champion,
Ken. j. W. Devore
Next, the chairman trotted out
the dark horse", Hon. j. w. De-
Wore. We use the term not in a
derogatory sense but because be
had all along, since the agitation
began, "sawed wood and said
nothing" never making known
his position, aa did the preceding
speakers. All listened to Mr.. De-
Vore's exordium with bated breath
eager to see whether he would
hoist the prohibition or dispense
ry flag. After aoundering around,
seemingly between SsylJa aud
Charybdls, hs finally struck a
cold dispensary trail which grew
warmer and warmer as be was re-
assured by few cheers from the
sooys". Mr.. DeVore shelled the
woods for the dispensary, using
chiefly blank cartridges, however.
TIE main point that he advanced
was the election of dispensary
officials by the people instead of
by tho legisl ature or by boards.
He charged the "dog-gone" news
papers with being Responsible for
the corruption of the dispensary.
What absurd statements can be
made by those who lack real ar
gumont to sustain their position.
Hon. w. j. Talbert
The fourth orator of the day
is classed among the big guns,
which fire quick and last as we'll
as use charges of large calIbre.
Hon. w. j. Talbert was next IN
troduced. He declared that he bad
been a rrohibitionist for twenty
years, and while be had always
supported the dispensary law-as
he believed all law should be sup
ported-he had never advocated
it. Mr.. Talbert greatly depIored
the fact that intelligent people
favor the dispensary because of
the profit feature, stating that the
children of this grand old COM
monwealth should not be educated
on blood money. Give the people
q square fight, said be, and they
will have prohibition aud enforce
it. The poor devils who drink the
mean Liquor are supporting the
towns that have dispensaries.
