SPITE WINS.

The County of kershaw voted
out the dispensary by less than
ninety majority, and the election
is to be contested. If the vote
was fairly taken the decision
should be allowed to stand with
out contest, although we believe
the majority was in error IN
voting out the county dispen'
saries. The prime mover in the
opposition to the county dispen-
saries was not prompted by
motives for the public good, but
rather from Spleen because OF
being defeated in the legislature
in his fight to save the State dis
pensary, and thereby force upon
the people that concern after they
had repudiated it at the polls.

State dispensary forces. and
made a most stubborn fight,
so Jealous was ne, 1t was
strongly intimated upon the
floor of the House that he re

cident called forth a lot of eN-
plantations which did not ex-
plain either. This same State

to trick the Prohibitionists
by going into their camp to

believe he will.

William Jennings Bryan de-
fines a Democrat as 'one who
believes in the rule of the peo-
pie" Then, if this be correct,
what does he propose do with our
most prominent statesman who
pays no attention whatever to
the ssrule of the people" when it
happens to be against his way
of thinking. The State Execu-
tive Committee arranged a series
campaign meetings and required
all candidates to attend them,
instead, Senator Tillman ran an
independent campaign, and con-
tiuued his fight for the State dis
pensary. after the people had
spoken against that institution.
The rule of the people" amounts
to very little with the average
politician, whether it be Till
man or a Bryan. Instead OF sub
hitting Ito the rule of the peo-
pie" as a test of party loyalty,
Colonel Bryan should make it
read, ''poSsession of party ma
chinery'' which would come
nearer hitting the spot.

It has been said again and
again that there are two things
that wont wait on man, we will
make it three. The Times, the
tides and Summerton. We can
prove this: Just owe The Times
a subscription, and once at least
within the statutory limit of ten
years you will be gently re-
minded that the proprietor is in
need of funds not. money, this
latter word is to plebeian. The
only way to get relief is to have
him have the legislature make
the limit twenty years and he
will gladly do so, for this thing
of dunning every ten years is
exceedingly tiresome.
Just go down to! our city by
the sea and see the truth as to
the tides, they wont wait but a
few hours, and as easy as it may
seem to the amateur, it is just Of
late years that even those who
have bathed their feet in it for
years are beginning to catch on.
Probably when the new sea wall
is built by the government. it
can be held a little longer, and
give a little better opportunity.
AS to the third, suffice it to
say there are some things be-
yond the reach OF mortal man.
At one time we tried to keep up
with real estate transfers, new
buildings and such items of
news, this was wearlSome to the
flesh, and caused too many to
have green eyes.
This has been an exceptionally
fine year for farm work, and
there was no grass in crops to
report. Farmers here about
long since abandoned the
old fellows plan. who said he
never hoed cotton till there was
a!good fifty cents worth to the
acre.
Again, we attempt to keep
track Of the growth of our pop
alation. but this had to be aban-
aoned. because the editor gently
reminded US our space was linn
tied to one column. She just
wont wait, and therefore we
have just got to stand aside and
let her go.
