TO DEFEAT LYONS PLANS,

One meets many people these days
who openly aver that the whiskey ee-
ment and eX-dispensary grafters ct al.
are eXerting their energies to elect a
Legislature of their own kind, and thus
block or Illustrate the plans of Attor-
ney General j. Frazer Lyon in prose
cutting the grafters. No one could be
found bold enough to oppose Lyon, SO
the trick seems to be to elect lcgisla-
tors who are unfriendly to him. There
are numbers of people in this State
whose interests would be admirably
served in the defeat of Lyons plans.
Attorney General Lyon, while no
brilliant lawyer, is about the hardest
working, most persistent prosecuting
officers we have had in recent years He
has encountered obstacle upon obstacle
in his work on the dispensary investi-
cations; even his own committee did
not give him proper support and CO.
operation, to say nothing Of the Federal
court interference. But despite these
things, Mr., Lyon has persisted and is
merely waiting for his hands to be un-
tied, to act. 1t behooves the law-abid-
ing people of the State to see that the
work already done is not ruined by the
next legislature.
Yes, afterreading over the testimony
taken in the Investigation two years
ago, we are persuaded that there are
some residents of South Carolina who
would welcome the defeat of Lyons
plans

EsoReSpectabIe White Mans Vote.

The attempt to nres'.2le. it appear that
Gov. Ansel is negro lover; -or that
he has been careless as to the best in
tereSts of the white race, will not
amount to anything here in the Pied
mont where he served so long and so
efficiently as court solicitor. No re-
spectacle white man will vote against
him because of his appointment of the
negro notary public, after he knows
the facts. Anderson Daily Mail.

Governor AnseIs Good Record.

"Martin +. Ansel will never take the
blue ribbon as hot-air artist; he will
never star as the promiser of wonders
to perform; he will never take drink
with the boys to get the votes of the
boys; he will never secure the endorse
mcnt of illicit dealers in whskey.
"But he will succeed himself as gov
crnor of South Carolina, because a vast
majority of the people admire the man
who, without fuss or feathers, but
ploddingly and faithfully, does his duty.
The vast majority admire the man who
does not iiatter or deceive, but whose
bluntneSS is the bluntncSs of sterling
honesty. The vast majority wish a
governor who is Independent, whose
word is sacred, and whose integrity is
absolutely beyond question"
The foregoing is an expression from
the Columbia State. The News sub
: scribes most heartily to every wore
t contained therein. Governor Ansel
e administration has not been a nois,
e one, but it has been a busy one, AM
n he has accomplished great deal II
}, has made mistakes, no doubt, but non
: of his errors have amounted to tn
e slightest injury to the State at large
II His is wonderfully clean record, an
/. it is a pleasure for the Grecnvil

e cere endorsement of Governor Ansel

ID worth anything he will be reelected

THE BOND ISSUE.

For some days past there has been
much agitation on the subject of bond
issue by the city to complete or rather
extend the work of paving now going
on here. AS all know, the original
contract with the Southern Paving
Construction company call for the paw
ing of the public square, and approach
es and the sidewalks enclosing the
square. Seeing already the vast i'm
provement and the lasting good of this
work, many citizens have interested
themselves in the extension of this
work. 1t is their desire that the street
and walks to the depot, and other
much-uscd thoroughfarcs, be paved
while the Construction force is on the
ground and since the good work has
been begun.
There is none who will dispute the
good of the improvement and the eX-
celencc of the work done by the com
pany now in charge here, and none will
gainsay the lasting benefit of the ven
ture or the economic value of the in
vestment. The only question to be
raised, and q very sane and sensible
one too, is the financial ability of the
city to undertake any further work at
present. Can Lauens afford to spend
any more money just now in this kind
of Improvement? Our judgment, based
on the present bonded indebtedness of
the city and its financial facilities, is
that the burden would not be too heavy
to issue bonds to the amount of SIS 900
or $50, 600, which sold and costing about
four or four and half per cent will be
amply sufficient to complete this work,
and will not be too heavy tax upon
our finances. The nature of the invest
ment should argue an extra effort on
our part and the good resulting from
1T should be a plea for the step. The
matter will be presented to the people
and an election will doubtless be held in
which the people are to decide. Mean
while we invite through our columns q
discussion of the matter that all may
become thoroughly acquainted with the
points in question.
The matter is before the people of
Laurcns and we sincerely hope they
will give it their attention because of
its Importance and the effect it will
have upon every resident in the city.

AMONG THE EXCHANGES.
The Pastors of Newberry's Churches.

Owing to certain statements thaV
have been made upon the stump IN
South Carolina this summer the pubic
has become somewhat more than nor
mally interested in religion in Newberry
and in the pastors of the churches OF
Newberry.
Will those pastors inform that inter-
ested public whether it is at liberty to
infer that they will vote for Cole L..

are condemning such politics.
The heat has been terrific recently.

Below we give Il news item that
throws some light on the part that our
county is playing in keeping up the
standard of civilization and advancing
the cause of dcccncy. The Spartan
