A Dispensary For Andrews.

The county dispersay board met at
their office on Thursday last fer the
purpose of considering the advisa.
bility of establishing dispensary in
the town of Andrews.
Two petitions were presented to
the board, one asking for the estab'
lishment and another praying that
ir be not established.
We have been reliably informed
that those who opposed the opening
of the dispensary asked that they be
given a hearing before the board
took final action on the matter; that
if they were allowed the privilege Of
appearing before the board they
could show good and sufficient rea'
sohs Why the dispensary should not
be established, but it seems their re-
quest was ignored and the rum shop
will be opened at Andrews. George

THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
A NiQht To the JungleS Of Central Africa

To hear the thunderous roars of
the man-eating kings of the forest,
to feel their hot breath waited
through the barred windows of a
tiny cabin in the jungles is certainly
thrilling.
Fritz Brunner, the famous animal
trainer with the John H Sparks
! Shows, which are to exhibit here next
Saturday, November l6, was raised
in a cabin in the wilds of equatorial
Africa. His father was an agent of
the Royal Geological Society of Ger
many, and spent many years secur-
ing specimens for that institution.
Hence from childhood Mr. Brunner
was accustomed to hear nightly the
roar of monster lions, the hideous
tigers growls and the snarling leop-
ards and hyenas, which would engage
in deadly combats around the cabin,
often hurting their huge weights
against its frail walls and scamper-
ing over its roof. AS he grew up in
these surroundings he became a
fearless hunter, meeting the wild
denizens of the forest face to face
and engaging in fierce struggles
with the infuriated beasts. He af-
forwards became a trainer, and his
absolute mastery over the brute Gre
alton is not equaled by any living
man.
A large steel enclosure will be
erected in the center of the exhibi-
ton tent, into which the ferocious
animals will be turned loose. Mr.
Drummer will then enter the enclos-
ure, ,unarmed, and put them through
remarkable series of performances
that will vividly illustrate their tre-
mendous strength and agility. 1t is
thrilling, hair-raising sight and
one that you will never forget. E.
The programme of the John H
Sparks Shows is entirely composed
of marvellous. expensive and careful
ly selected features, which make it
so vastly superior to all similar ex-
hibitions. adv

GREAT PAINTING
To Be a Feature of Fifth National
Corn Show.

Columbia, November 12:-The
longest painting ever executed IN
this country or abroad, according
to authentic statements, will form a
striking feature of the decorations
for the educational building at the
Fifth National Corn exposition here
aext January. The canvass for this
immense painting will be nearly a
sixth of a mile in length, by nine
feet wide. 1t will extend entirely
around the big steel building which
will house the exhibits from the de-
partment of agriculture and the
thirty or more States which will en-
ter the exposition. The canvass will
cover about $500 square feet of
space, and 53S pounds of dry paints
of various colors will be necessary in
the execution of the task.
The artist who will transform this
material into a mammoth work OF
art is Mr. E E Sprague of Columbus,
Ohio. Mr. Sprague executed a some
what similar, though smaller, piece
Of work for the Fourth National
Corn exposition held at Columbus
last year. The high artistic quality
of the work and the wide variety of
subjects and scenes, attracted instant
attention and aroused wide comment,
Mr. Sprague is now a resident of Co.
lumbia, and is at present superin-
tending the erection of the frame
work for the support of this enor-
nous stretch of canvas. Within the
next few days he will begin with his
brush and paints upon the titanic
task. Mr. Sprague will be assisted
in this work by his son, Mr. S B
Sprague.
The canvas will be divided into
thirty or more spaces, into which
will be painted landscape scenes typ
ical of the various States whose ex-
hibits, educational and competitive,
will be arranged below.

In a Minority of Popular Vote.

President-elect Wilson is not alone
among his predecessors in failing of
a majority in the popular vote while
commanding an enormous plurality
and most of the electoral college.
Within the time when electors
have been chosen directly by the
people, John Quincy Adams in 1924
gained the Presidency without a
majority either of the popular or
electoral vote. James K Polk in 1914
had nearly two-thirds of the cleo
toral college but a minority in the
popular vote. Zachary Taylor IN
1S4S was outvoted by the Democrats
and Free-Soilers.
Franklin Pierce had nearly three
fourths of the college in the great
Democratic sweep of 1852, but a
popular majority of only $4,000,
Buchanan in 1856 was in popular
minority.
Abraham Lincoln in 1860 was
heavily in a popular minority. Hayes
in 1876 lacked both a popular plu-
rality and majority. Garfield in
1880 had plurality of about 1000
and was in minority of over 3OO,-
600. Cleveland in 1884 was in a
small minority, though barely elect
ed; and in 1892 was in a minority of
nearly 100000 when the Demo-
Gratis swept the country. Harrison
in 1888 was elected by minority of
the total popular vote.
The present situation is more ex-
actly comparable with that of 1852
when the Wing party went to pieces,
and that of 1860 when the Demo-
cratic party went to pieces. 1t is
the Republican party which now
breaks up, and it is largely for the
Democracy again in power to say
now long that party is to remain a
divided majority or a united minori-
ty under that or another name.

Drinking in Prohibition States
and Elsewhere.

Under this heading the "North-
qUestern Christian ADVOCATE" riddles
the strongest argument against
prohibition in the following
fashion:
"When the Interstate Com
merce Commission let it be known
that 10000 900 gallons of liquor
are shipped annually into the
uine prohibition States, prohibit
ton as a principle that fails to
work began to receive more or
less sympathetic attention from
the newspapers. The figures are
there and can't be denied.
"But two facts should be faced
before starting the chorus, 'Prohi-
bition doesn't prohibit These
100000 900 gallons were sent into
dry territory against the wishes
of the great majority of tho people,
and, in most cases, in defiance of
the State law. The minority,
which will have its liquor by fair
means or foul, is as yet able to
satisfy it's appetite because the
nation does not help the State, as
it should, in the struggle against
drink. That's one important fea-
ture of the case. The other is the
fact that the prohibition States
drinking 20, 900, 900 gallons a year,
consume less than a gallon and a
quarter per capita, while the per
capita consumption for the rest Of
the country is twenty five gallons.
The city of Chicago alone, with
100000 people, consumes in
thirty days as much Intoxicating
liquor as the $1,000, 900 people in
prohibition States drink in a
Herald and Presbyter.
