There has been petition in circUla
ton, and aseusual with petitions, ''nu
nerouslv signed" recommending MIR
T. Mitch Wells for post master. The
present post masters commission doe:
not expire until 1910, therefore IN e.
probability there will be no change un
less Tor cause TO accept office iron
Republican administration is 81
bad after all 1t probably depends OF
who does the accepting. Heretofore tht
writer was twitted frequently, ant
charged with being Republican be
cause of his connection with the loca
post Office. The Wells petition was GOT
ten up with view TO Bryan's election
but he was not elected. and We asSum
Taft will do as well.
The all absorbing matter Of local IN
terest-LiQuor question, has been SET
tied. The threatened contest was no
made. and the dispensary will. we sup
pose, close upon orders from the Cover
nor. who will probably issue the orde
as soon as the result Of the election l
certified to him by the Secretary Q
State.
Now that Clarendon is to be an anti
Gispensary County, ISIS to be hope
that the same yea! to enforce the Ia,
will be manifested, as was manifested j
voting out the dispensary, but until
\ is demonstrated that the law will be er
forced against white as well as black
we shall have 40 faith in the sincerit
of prohibition professions.
The public eye will watch the etfec
and the part the Prohibitionist take i
having the law is enforced. II the
take the position that it is the duty {
the law officers to compel obedience :
this law. and not theirs, it IS easily see
there will be no attempt to enforce th
law. because the law officers only eNt
cute such warrants as are placed in the
hands, after the same has been swor
out by citizens; then instead OF adr&n'
inr the cause Of temperance. :: cordltlo
of lawlessness will have been brougt
about by some anti-dispensary pol
ticians. and some good sincere men.
