COMMENTS ON RECENT ELECTION
THE FAME OF JACKS IS GRE

THE FAME OF JACKS is GREAT.
In view of Tuesdays vote-What is
dry as a day in Laurens?
So they voted out of existence the only
oasis between Newberry and the North
Carolina line.
We beg for time. We require twenty
four hours to fully absorb the state
ment that Jacks Township has been un-
true to the ~dispensary. For the pres
ent WE stand mute.
Perhaps the South Carolina General
Assembly will investigate the revolu-
ton in Jacks Township. News and

UP TO THE LEGISLATURE.

The vote in Laurens demonstrates
for the sixteenth time that the people
of South Carolina are sick of the dis
pensary. This is true irrespective of
the former political standing of these
counties. Reform and "conserva-
tive" counties alike have expressed
themselves against the dispensary.-
Will the legislature still hesitate in
taking action to remove the abomina-
tion?-The State.

REGULATING ZION CITY MORALS.
"Sober Minded Deacons" to Supern-
tend Pastimes of Youth.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Young men and women, BOYS and girls,
In Zion City have fallen into evil ways
theatre-going, cardplaying, cigarette
smoking and acknowledgements Wilbur
Glenn Voliva said at big open air meet
ing in front of the Zion university build
ing He prop ,ses to correct their morals
without loss of time. The town Will be
divided into districts, each In charge OF
deacon. who will DO responsible for the
moral welfare of the young people in his
district Persistent backsliders will be
banlshed
The aim will be to give each deacon
not more than twenty boys and girls.
Anything over that number 1t is appre-
hended, would give the church official too
much to do.
It appears that since the fractional diff
ferences began in Zion City several
months ago eliminating with the over
throw and discredt of John Alexander
Dowie. the young people of Zion City
have been allowed to do pretty much as
they pleased.
They have not been taken TO task for
their failure to attend the Sunday and
weekday services They have missed the
elevating influence of the white robed
choir. Ieft TO tHe1T own utNlceS WHlt

leisure time attending meetings devoted

stress of our religious trials have forgot

from home. They are becoming like the

General Disapproves of San Francisco
Movement In nis Honor.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
General Funston declares that he has no
personal friends in San Francisco, and
that he does not know by sight in this
city probably thirty men, women and
children. He makes these assertions In
answer to an editorial paragraph in the
Chronicle, in which 1t wac stated that the
movement to change the name of De-
viedero street to Funston avenue was
not spontaneous but was promoted by u
personal friend of the general. The COM
munication Of General Funston follows:

To Account for Strange Dreams.

1 think very often our dreams are a

and that dreaming is largely a kind of
free play of what 1 have called ancestral
memory.
We dream Of things which we have
never experienced in our waking mo-
ments. remember very realistic
dream. 1t was a battle. and l was in a
regiment of cavalry that received an or

concernIna Bucket shops.

While all the discussion is going on
about the bucket shops and other cities
are reporting the evil effects of the opera
tions of these questionable financial ma
chimes, Bessemer can well afford to rest
easy without apprehensions of any trou-
BILE from this source. Although such in
situations may be licensed under heavy
fee according to the city tax schedule
no applications for such a license has
been received In a long time and it is
patent from the sentiment of the people
that such a brokerage establishment
would not get enough business from the
people to make it pay.
The historic scandal connected with the
former defalcations here some years ago
seems to have had the wholesome effect
of turning even those citizens of spec
ulative turn of mind from the bucket
shops. 1t will be remembered that the
evidence in that case showed that the
bank official was a victim of the old
madness of gambling in cotton futures.
The license for such institutions is
placed by the city of Bessemer at $500
per year Some years ago wandering
schemer took out a six months license to
operate a shady brokerage business over
the wires, but his enterprise was a fiat
failure and his lack of success seems
to have discouraged all others from I'M
dertaking so risky financial venture.
