Bamberg county will vote on the
dispensary question, and that right
away. A big mass meeting was held
in the court house Monday, in which
the pastors Of all denominations took
az active interest. We copy the fol-
towing from the Bamberg correspond
emit of The State under date of 22nd:
s'The three weeks of prohibition
here some time ago has added much
faith to the believers in prohibition;
the difference in the appearance of
the streets of the several towns of
the county has been a speaking force
of 10 mean strength. All the pastors
are in the fight for success and they
are going to win if determination
counts for anything"
There are many in Lexington of the
same opinion aathe people of Bam-
berg. Some pa5ple r from "Mis-
souri''-you have to show them. We
firmly believe that the people of this
county will kill the dispensary and
vote for prohibition when the oppor-
tunity presents itself.

We publish a notice in another col
umn of this issue from a number OF
citizens of the Sandy Run section OF
this county, calling for a meeting to
discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of forming a
new county with the court house at
ST. Matthews. Many of these citi-
zens have been honored by the people
of old Lexington time and time again,
and we feel sure that if the voices of
the good old men, now filing honered
graves in that section could be heard,
they would never, no never consent
to a change.
We have expressed our views on
this question many times and we trust
that when this body of men meet tc
make their deliberations they. will see
that the view we have always held
and contended for, will prevail-that
it is far better to remain in an old
county, even if the distance is not so
short to the court house, than it is to
reside in a small, new county, close
to the court house with high taxes.
Consider this point well before you
cast your votes for a change. ,

In a strong card in the Columbia
Record of Mondays date, Mr.. John
Black, an ex-member Of the State
Board of Dispensary Directors, asks
that those who have charges against
him "put up or shut up" He has
been accused of buying whiskey lie
gally during his administration, and
otherwise violating the law. 1t will
be remembered that the last legisla-
ture recommended that the board be
ousted from office and prosecuted.
Now Mr.. Black demands that Attor-
e General Lyon prosecute him or
release him from the n thousand
dollar peace bond, which he was put
under last year.
Mr.. Black makes a fair proposition.
He wants to be tried in a court OF JUS
tice, but if they will not give him a
chance to vindicate himself there, he
wants a complete investigation made
of his every transaction. 1t seems to
us that his request should be granted.
Here is a man that has been accused
of violating the laws of the State
asking to be tried in a court of justice,
asking for an investigation, yet the
Attorney General will not hear to his
crv. If there is any evidence on
earth to prove that this man has been
guilty of wrong doing, in the name OF
Justice, give him a trial, or, give him
an investigation, as he so anxlously
asks for. In the name of common

Our policemen, Messrs. Nets and
TAYLOR, seem to think in our charge
of the general rowdyism on our streets
Saturday week, that we did them an
injustice, as they were discharging
their duty in one part of the town,
while disorder was perhaps at another.
AS a matter of j%usticei it would be only
fair to hold them accountable for
such disorders or violations as come
under their observation. However,
they have assumed this unpleasant
duty and the citizens expect them
to act promptly without fear or favor.

"Unless the people. change their
minds" happily remarks the Charles
ton News and Courier, ''they will
elect to the United States senate next
year the best looking candidate that
offers" We would infer from this
that u contemporary thinks that
the women will take a hand in the
race; for surely, the men do not al
ways vote for the ''best looking cam
didate" to represent them in the
national house.

Why get surprised at the attitude OF
The Dispatch toward the liquor ques-
ton? The editor Of this paper has
not only been a prohibitionist, but a
te-to-tal-er always, and if he has ever
taken a drink he doesen't know it.
But at the same time we have been
liberal enough to accord to any man
the right to drink whiskey, just so
long as he drinks in moderation. We
have always been in favor Of throw
ing out the strongest arm of the law
around the sale of whiskey, to de-
crease it's use as a beverage, and, as
we say, while we have always been a
prohibitionist ourselves, the past few
weeks has brought many of the most
ardent admirers of the dispensary
over on the prohibition side.
Again we ask, why be surprised at
the attitude of The Dispatch? We
have always spoken out when the
times demanded it on all questions OF
public interest, and in the language
of the knightly Knight of The BAN
berg Herald, eve wear no mans col
lar, and we think as we please and
say what we think" We make no
apology to anybody unless we find
that we are in error, then we politely
bow.
It is the duty of a paper to work for
the upbuilding of the town, county
and state, and the editor who will not
speak his views at all times for fear
of hurting somebody's feelings, is a
moral and physical coward,

Halloween at the Grange.

A Halloween celebration was the
attraction at the meeting of Skowhe-
gan Grange last evening. Shortly
after the close of the business session,
the hall was darkened and some forty
ladies', masked and costumed in white,
entered by way of the stage door,
each bearing jack o'-lantern, and ex-
ecuted short march accompanied by
weird music on the piano. They
were then supplied with partners and
the march continued, ending in the
figure of the dance known as right
and left, after which the masks were
removed. Several readings were
given, the selections being appropri-
ate to Halloween evening and the
Especial degree" was conferred on
several candidates. A booth In one
corner of the hall furnis he'd the OPP
portunity for unlocking the secrets OF
the future, through the fortune teller's
art, and members of the Gypsy com
pany in charge gave several harp and
vocal solos.
Refreshments were served to the
members and their guests in the ban
quet hall, after which an hour or more
was passed in games usual TO Halo

The Literary Clubs.

Skowhegan's three literary clubs,
sorosis, the Town Improvement and
the Skowhegan Woman's Club, carry
out the more formal part OF their
yearly program during the colder
months, and the annual calendars,
defining their work for the coming
winter, have jlst been issued.
The Woman's Club held its first
meeting, yesterday afternoon. Its
winters program is not such as class
ifies under one title but it is noticeable
that it purposes to confne its studies
to America and chiefly to the present
era. The persons mentioned are for
the most part Americans OF our own
time and the other subjects have to
do with the present day problems of
this continent.
Under the tile "W.st and
Affai rs National" Sorosis also has
miscellaneous program and, like that
of the Woman's Club, it concerns it
self with present day personages and
present day events. Its first meeting
will be held on Tuesday evening,
November 8.
The first meeting of the Town I'm
provement Society was held last Fri
day and the next will occur Friday,
Nov. 8. The general subject for the
winter is England" and that coun-
try, its rulers, it's authors and its
literature, will be the subject of most
of the papers and discussions.
Following the custom inaugurated
last year, the clubs will hold three
meetings together during the winter.
These meetings are known as feder-
ated days and each club takes charge
of one meeting. The dates and sub
iects are as follows:
January 8. The Woman's Club,
"National Day."
February ii. sorosis, Educational
Day."

THE SPHINX SPEAKS
William Jennings Bryan Declares
Himself on the Presidential
Question

In the asst issue of his newspaper,
The CommOner, W. j. Bryan makes
statement, in the third person, de-
filming his position on the question of
his alleged presidential candidacy. He
Will not seek nomination bu, if the
nomination seeks him he will not get
into cyclone cellar to avoid it. A
portion of his utterance follows:
Mr.. Bryan will not ask for or seek
a nomination; and he will not assume
tC decide the question of his avail
ability. He has been SO amply recon-
pensed by his party for what he has
done and for what he has endeaVor-
ed to do that he can not clam d
nomination as reward; neither
should his ambition lie considered,
for he has had honors enough from
his party to satisfy any reasonable
ambition. The only question that
ought 10 weigh with the party is
whether the party can be strengthen
ed and aided more by his nomination
than by the nomination of someone
else. If he can serve the party by
being its candidate, he will accept the
commission and make the best fight
he can If, however, the choice falls
upon another, he will not be disap-
pointed or disgruntled. His avail
bility is question to be decided not
by him, not by a few leaders, not
even by the leading newspapers that
call themselves democratic, but by
the voters of the party, and to them
he intrusts the decision of the ques-
tion-they are the supreme court in
ali matters concerning candidates, as
they are in all matters concerning
the platform.
