that he would have nothing to do
with any contest OF the dispensary
election held there last Tuesday. The
majority of the Union people do not
want a dispensary; he is willing to
let the people rule.
Now let the contest come, and If
the election be illegal let 1t be de-
clared So and set aside. The Adver-
tiscr is a law-abiding paper, obedient
TO any law, good or bad; it neither
commends night riders, nor upholds
the lawlessness of mob. 1t is
democratic and believes in the rule
Of the people.
If there was not the proper number
then the dispensary ought to be re-
tanned
Mr.. John b. Brooks is a thorough
going Democrat; he deserves much
praise for his excellent work in the
city and county, for the Bryan fund.
The Columbia State has our unqual-
iticd congratulation and commenda-
ton for its phenomenal work in be-
half of the Democratic campaign fund.

10 know what we are going to write
about after the election, national and
dispensary, is over with Well, we
haven't quite decided. but we have
been considering the subject of mil
linery. clothes and things. About
the last-named, though, we must first
consult the Branchville Journal Def
mite announcement later.
1t is betitting that we preserve that
lovely circular of last week in
alcohol.
There are some people in Laurens
who could have learned something
had they been present at the opera
house Sunday afternoon,
DR.. Cromer says a crank is q good
thing if it turns something in the
right direction.
According to Mr.. Cannon's state
mcnt to the editor a few weeks ago;
namely, that all he desired was
legal election we presume that which
ever way the vote went yesterday he
will make contest. Since, granting
that his grounds of contention are
correct, the election was illegal, he
will of course, have the courts pass
upon it, whether or not the dispensary
wins.
BY way of explanation, we wish to
state that this page of The Advertiser
is already printed before the result
of the election is known.
Last year the pupils in the Laurens
schools received from dspensary prof
its about $l.35 per capita. a good
fat pig is worth more than that in
any market. Principle should be
rated little higher.
When the dispenSary was first put
in operation there were many who
conscientiously believed that to be
the proper solution OF the whiskey
question. That number is now very
much diminished
sac
Laurens is already a beautiful city
but the best has not been attained.
Paint repair and clean up.
Union is to be congratulated upon
again repudiating the dispensary; it
never did do that county any good
and never will.
Ten or fifteen years hence the ma
lority OF Laurens county people will
wonder that they ever tolerated such
an institution as dispensary: the
others will-well it doesn't matter
much what they wonder.

Is especially manifest In some lines, as,
for instance. cotton goods. where prices
have been OF late sharply reduced,
without, however. cvoling the interest
