DISCUSSION OF THE DIspsNsARy.
A Correspondent Thinks Laurens viii
Vote Out the Dispeussry.

EDITOR ADVERTISER: With vour nor
mission want to say a few more words
on The All Important Topic, the dis
pensary. | am delighted to see so MANY
counties voting to put liquor out. Twelve
counties have voted out the ~dispensary
and very probably four or five more
will vote it out before the legislature
meets in January and with Greenwood
and Marlboro will make eighteen or
twenty counties for prohibition. 1 am
glad the people are having a chance to
show that they are tired of this awful
evil at a time when there is no politics
in it. The politicians are saying that
the elections being held does not fairly
indicate the will of the people, because
there has not been a full vote. Every
voter has had the privilege to vote and
because so many stayed away from the
polls it shows co~nclusively that they
did not care to a v the ~dispensary and
are willing to have prohibition. Some
say let it be settled at the next cleo
ton. | think that is the time it cannot
be settled right. Let the thing be kept
out of politics. do hope the Legisla-
ture will accept the voice of the people
and do away with the state feature of
1T and if Charleston, Richland, Sumter
and Georgetown want to hold on to the
dlspensary let them have a county dis
pensary operated and controlled by the
county as in Georgia and North Caro-
lima. hope the legislature will let all
the prohibitive and restrictive features
of the present law remain in counties
voting out the dispensary and that
every officer in town and county be re-
quired to do their duty to keep out the
tigers. And if necessary we are willing
to pay the one-half mill tax to enforce
the law. l am anxious to see Laurens
county show to the people of South
Carolina that we are a Christian peo-
pie and will fall in line with the other
counties voting out liquor. If the Pres
byterians, Baptists and Methodists of
Laurens county will stand true to
Christ and their fellow man we will vote
1T out ten to me-. This election may be
"a crisis in the life of every voter. Lau-
rens county expects every man to do
his duty.

G~eorgetown's Centennial Celebration.

The people of Georgetown are max
ing elaborate preparations for the en-
tertainment of many thousands of Wis
itors at the Centennial celebration
which will take place on December 10th.
The railroads have granted a low rate
and many from all parts of the State
will no doubt avail themselves of the
opportunity to see the awakening"
that is so much talked about in the
coast country of this State. Many
pleasing and attractive features have
been provided for the day. The marine
parade will be especially attractive.
The Third Regiment will attend in a
body and many diversions are promised.
lnasmuch as this is the event of George

event will be made notable.

1t only requires 4 gallons of this cele-
brated and 3 gallons of Linseed Oil at
60 cents per gallon to paint a moderate

owner ought not pay $1.50 per gallon
for Linseed Oil, which he must do when
a ready-for-use paint is bought.

Rev. c. B. Burns is the pastor and
the fact that he closes his four years

ing a number of the most progressive

One night last week at Barns
ley mines Riley Williams, color
ed, cut 81 rooms. The following
night Aubern Williams, a cham
pion white machine runner, cut
81 rooms in the same mine. This
last means an earning Of $500
for the cutter and $4.l2 for the
hostler. These are record runs
of course, but the foreman says
it indicates that the cutters
should be able to cut three rooms
to the shift regularly, which
would earn $500 for the cutter
and 1926 for the hostler. Barns
ley has thrown down the gaunt-
let to the other mines of Hop
kins and believes these records
cannot be beaten.
