Union Voted Dispensary.

UNION, Dec. 28.-Complete unof-
fetal returns of the election held in
this county yesterday on the issue,
dispensary or no dispensary, give a
majority of eleven votes in favor of
the dispensary, the total vote being
GA for sale, to 603 against sale.
In nearly all the outlying precincts
the vote was principally the same as
at the election held two years ago,
when the dispensary was voted out
of the county, but a great change
was manifested in the town of Union,
where the majority against the dis
pensary was reduced from nearly 200
to8.
There is great deal of talk Of a
contest, and it is very likely one will
be made by the anti-dispensary
forces.
An official canvass of the votes and
a declaration of the result will prob
ably be made next Tuesday. The
election was very quiet, very little
excitement being manifested.

Shot by Accident.

BATEsBURG, Dec. GAS the re-
suit of an accident Mr.. Henry Hall
was very seriously shot in the side
about the eighth rib yesterday even
ing about 6 o'clock by a 38 calibre
Colts pistol ball. It seems that Mr..
George w. Mobiles, who was in an ad-
joining room, had pulled off his coat
containing the pistol and hung it on
chair and that the weight Of the
pistol caused it to fall to the floor
causing the pistol to explode, the
ball going through an open door be,
tween the rooms, striking Mr.. Hall
as he was in the act of STOPPING down
to pick up a chair that had fallen
over.
While it is not thought that Mr..
Halls injuries will prove fatal, he is
very seriously hurt, and will be con-
fined to his bed for some time.

Our neighbor, the Orangeburg
Times and Democrat, announces that
it will hereafter publish semi-weekly.
Friend Sims has long published one
of the very best weeklies in the State,
and there is no reason why he should
not make equally as fine newspa-
per as a semi-weekly. He has fine
county, and we believe he is doing
the right thing in publishing twice a
week. With the magnificent rural
service which that county has, thanks
to the efforts of Congressman Lever,
the subscription list of the Times and
Democratshould be elargelyincreased.

warrants it we will print eight pages.

ley has just received a warrant for
the arrest Of J. T. Pond, white, of

by Magistrate Shealy of Leesville and
charges Pond with an attempt at
criminal assault upon Mrs. Taylor in

weeks ago. Pond is a stove fixer and
it is claimed that the assault was
made while travelling over the
country. He lives at Batesburg and

The county dispensary board Of
Aiken county has opened a dispen-
sary at North Augusta, notwith-
standing the vigorous efforts made to
prevent such action. No doubt this
will have some effect on the action
of the legislature at its coming ses-
sion, for here is case where a rum
shop was deliberately forced on peo-
pie who were opposed to it. The city
council and the citizens generally did
not want a dispensary there

We are disconsolate. The Spartan
burg Journal has stopped exchanging
with us because we exposed its
circulation methods. In fact we
would never have seen its reply to
our first paragraph had not a friend
sent US the clipping from the Journal.
Evidently the Journal wanted other
people to see its reply but wanted to
keep it from US in order that we
might drop the subject.

Prohibition Doesn't Increase Taxes.

Editor Bamberg Herald: Some
weeks ago you said editorially:
"All signs point to State prohibi-
ton in South Carolina at an early
day. Possibly the general assem-
bly, at it's session in January will pass
such measure. The indications
point that way at least. Those towns
and counties who have been running
on low tax levy because of large
dispensary profits had might as we'll
prepare for the inevitable, and the
promoters of new counties had bet
ter 60 slow. You can't run a town
or county on wind"
You are unnecessarily alarmed,
Mr.. Editor, about the raise in taxes.
No whiskey or less whiskey means
more prosperity and more property
to be taxed and less county and poor
house expenses, and consequently
the levy need not be raised. l cite
you Spartanburg, which county has
prohibition and will have nothing
else, and where the law is enforced.
Its tax levy has not been raised since
the ousting Of the whiskey shops.
Also to Cherokee county (prohibi-
:tion) which has one of the lowest tax
levies in the State. Otis BRABHAM.

THESE TERRIBLE MURDERS.

How many have noticed the alarm
ing number of murders that have
been committed in this State in the
past two months? It is something
appalling. One can hardly pick up a
newspaper to glance through its
columns before being confronted
with "Another Killing Affair" in
big headlines, or something to that
effect. It is simply getting to be a
disgrace to the law-abiding people
of this commonwealth, and some ef-
fective means should be employed to
stop this wanton and wilful shedding
of human blood. The press and pull
pit should unite in trying to bring
about the cessation of this terrible
crime, which is at the present time
sending into eternity the lives of so
many people.
There is nothing brave nor manly
in carrying a pistol, and what is
more Scowardly or horrible to the
human mind, than the action of a
man in pulling a gun and shooting
another just because he sees fit to
disagree with him on some certain
subject, or to steal upon him like "a
thief in the night and cowardly as
sassinate him because of lacking the
courage to meet him as man to man
in more honorable way.
AIman should have a special per-
NIT or.license to carry a pistol, and
should be required to give a most
excellent reason for carrying it. A
persons profession or trade in many
instances demands the carrying of a
weapon for self-protection. Let him
be made to get a license, otherwise,
if detected, he should be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law, regard
less of means or position.
How many murderers are convicted
for their crime? Look them up and
you will find the acquittals are in the
majority. Influence or money in
most instances are the factors that
clear him of the charge. Yet at the
same time a soul from the grave is
crying aloud for vengeance.
If a man can commit murder with
impunity, what is to prevent the
number of murders from increasing
instead of diminishing? It will be-
come SO prevalent that one will be
unable to go about and at the same
time feel safe.
It is for the Judge and juries in
these cases to decide whether the
number of murders shall increase or
decrease in this State, and we trust
that those committing this terrible
crime, shall be made to feel the iron
hand of the law.

New ORLEANS, La, Dec. %
New Orleans today experienced the

to rigid enforcement of the Sunday

than half a dozen saloons sold more
than a nominal number of drinks
and they admitted only regular pat
rons by previous appointment.

was shot, which probably saved his
life, as nearly the whole load went

GOmpers to Help Bryan

13.-Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor
and inferentially head of 5000, 900
voters of organized labor affiliated
with the federation, will supper
William Jennings Bryan in the
coming presidential campaign. In
political circles here today this
a nouncement overshadowed all
voters, even the arrival of John w.
Kern, the vice presidential nomi-
nee Mr.. Gompers' support was
promised to the ticket, but specifi-
cally denied any present intention
of taking the stump in the coming
campaign.
Reports gained currency that the
labor leader would speak from the
platform, but he made no such an
nouncement AS he left Fairvie y
after few minutes interview
with MIR. Bryan, his manner was
enthusiastic and his promises salts
factory to Mr.. Bryan. At present
it is believed there will be no need
for Mr.. Gompers' services in an
oratorical sense.
Mr.. G.mpers does not expect to
be called upon to speak politically
in the campaign.

ground that his party had spoken
and its utterances were law to him.
While Kern is popular with his
party and in the social life of the
city and state, some Democrats have
criticised him very freely in the past
three or four years because of the
close alliance existing between him
and National Chairman Tsggart.
John w. Kern was born in Alto,
Ind. December 20. 1S49. From
1897 TO 1901 he was city attorney
