The anti-prohibitionists of Chester
field county are going to fight for the
retention of the dispensaries in that
county principally upon the ground,
it is said, that the young ladies and
older women attended the polls on
the day of election and sang the good
old .'Songs of Zion," and rendered
prohibition tickets to the voters.
What rot! The dispensary was voted
out by a vote of nearly two to one,
and it does seem preposterous for the
few dispensary people to try to over
ride the will of the great majority in
any such manner. How different
with the honest prohibitionists of
Bamberg! The dispensary won in
that county by very small majority
and not a protest has been made by
the opposing side. How long will the
lawmakers of our beloved State let
such a LIQUOR law stand upon our stat
ute books? How long will they allow
the will of the great majority of the
citizens of South Carolina to be tram
pled underfoot by few who are in
favor of liquor because of the few
paltry dollars that are received in rev.

A Fine Indrma7y.

The Knowlton Infirmary in Colum
bia is growing more popular every
day on account of it's fine manage
ment, the many successful surgica
operations and kind treatm ent of the
sick. Many of our people have beer
greatly benefited and permanently
cured there, and we advise our citi'
zens, who are 80 unfortunate as tc
have sickness in their families, and
our county physicians especially, tc
place their patients in the Knowltor
Infirmary, where they will receive
the very best care and treatment
There is no better Institution in the
south.

In the appointment of Col. George
Johnstone, of Newberry, as special
Judge to hold courts in the 5th cir
cult in place of Judge Aldrich, who is
in feeble health, Governor Ansel has
made a wise selection. There is no
man in South Carolina more "learn-
ed in the law' than this distinguished
lawyer, and surely there is none that
can preside over a court of justice
with more grace and becoming digni-
ty than Col. Johnstone. 1t is source
of much qualification to know that he
will preside at the November term of
court in this county.

Next Tuesday there will be held an
election for the purpose of electing a
member of the house to succeed the
lamented Epting. As there is only
one candidate in the race there will
not be any great amount of interest
manifested, but it is the duty of every
citizen in the county to 60 to the
polls and vote for that worthy son of
old Lexington-Nathan B. Wanna
maker.

Labor Day in Columbia, Monday,
proved to be, y grand success in point
OF attendance at least. Hundreds of
Lexington people went over on that
dsy and they all, to q person, speak
in highest terms of the exercises.
Some went to the ball games; others
to Hyatt's Park, where the, Peruchi-
Gypsene Company delighted them
with one of the best performances Of
the season, and others attended to
business Of more or less private
nature. The labor unions of the city
were ont in full force, all Offices and
shops being closed 50 as to give them
an opportunity to make the day one
of genuine pleasure; and too, toprofit
by listening to the speeches of Gov.
Ansel, Mayor Gibbs, Congressman
Lever and others. It has not been SO
very many years since Columbia first
began to celebrate this day. 1t was
started by Ed. DeCamp, now editor
of the Gaffney Ledger, but at that
time in the employ of The State, and
since that time every year surpasses
the previous one in commemorationo OF
of this day of all days. To the
average man Labor Day is no more
than any other, but to those who be-
long to the various trades unions, it
is one of merriment and pleasure.
1t is the means whereby these organi-
cations are strengthened; it has a
tendency to bring about closer rela-
ton with each other and in this way
proves blessing to the majority of
their membership, for, "In unity
there is strenghth."

In the face of the Strong fight tina

In the face of the Strong fight that
is being made for lower passenger
rates on all railroads in the south by
the different states, we believe that
it would be proper and wise for the
railroads to establish uniform re-
duced rate in all the states. There is
no way getting out of it. In South
Carolina the rate is three cents mile
and in North Carolina the rate is two
and quarter cents. How can the
roads arrange this difference? Sup
pose, for instance, you buy ticket
at Columbia for some point in North
Carolina, will the agent in, Columbia
figure out the distance you travel in
South Carolina at three cents per
mile and charge you at the rate OF
two and a quarter cents per mile in
North Carolina? This does not seem
reasonable. Ultimately the railroads
will have to make uniform rate and,
5 to our way of thinking, the sooner
they do it the better. We don't mean
to make it appear that we are in
favor of putting too many restrictions
upon the railroads. We are not in
favor of making them carry passen-
gers and freight at loss to their
stockholders; we are not in. favor OF
being unjust to the railroads in. any
manner, for nothing has had so much
to do in bringing about the general
prosperity and development OF thus
great country of ours, and it would be
unjust, unfair, and preposteroF, for
the lawmakers of our great cohmon-
wealth to bride them with such force
as to cripple the great strides they
are making in developing thet whole
country. This, it seems to us, is
what they are doing and they should
use great discretion in making such
laws against them, just because they
are, seemingly. gigantic corporations.
On the other hand, we think the. rail
roads should treat the public with
fairness in all their dealings; they
should treat them with such prompt
ness and courtesy as not to leave any
gap open for the people to want to
treat them otherwise than private in
dividuals.

The Exposition

A number of Lexingtonian's have
visited the Jamestown Exposition
during the past few months, and all,
generally speaking, were highly elat-
ed with every phase of the big show.
There are many things of interest to
be seen at Jamestown; many historic
grounds, and the exhibitions, 80 we
are told, are of the very best and too
numerous to mention. The accom-
modations are good. Upon your ar
rival at Norfolk you find ladies and
gentlemen in waiting to escort you to
hotels and boarding houses, where
they anxiously care for your every
want, and give you all the informa-
tion necessary about Norfolk and the
exposition, generally. You can OBJ
tain such board and lodging as you
desire, all at reasonable rates. The
surroundings of the place, the fine
seabreezes, the boat rides to and from
adjoining cities, and the many and
varied amusements, affords all that
goes to make an outing of few days
pleasant. The Southern railway,
with their elegant, easy, and comfor-
table cars, pulled by careful and ex-
acting engineers, in charge of polite
and attentive conductors, is, by far,
the most desirable route to take to 60
to jamestown.

z, Hayne Williams.

In the advertising columns of The
Dispatch this week appears a large
display ad. for T. Hayne Williams,
the popular and clever merchant at
Irene. He tells you that he has the
largest and best selected stock of
general merchandise that he has ever
had, and invites you to make an in
spection of this stock before you buy
elsewhere. The people can find no
better place to trade and it will pay
you to go to see T. Hayne Williams,
the popular merchant at Irene.

It is said, by those who weredn Co.
lumbia on Labor Day, that whiskey
and beer was plentiful inspite of the
fact that the dispensaries were closed.
OF course this was due to the fact that
the police and dispensary constables
were observing the day too.

Senator Latimer will arrive in New
York on Thursday from his European
trip in the interest of immigration.
No doubt he will be loaded with
plenty of information along this line
and no doubt he will need a lot of it
next summer to ward off the strong
opposition he will have in his race for
the United States senate.

Reports from Orangeburg state that
the surveyors for the new county of
Calhoun will complete their work by
the end of the week. This does not
mean, however, that an election will
be held any time soon, for under the
State election laws it will be mpossi-
BILE for an election to be held before
some time in November.

session, assert their manhood, and
pass straightout prohibition law
just what the majority want.
