LEXINGTON MAY
HAVE DISPENSARY
LATEST UNOFFICIAL RETURNS
GIVE "WETS' MAJORITY.
Official Count Tuesday Will Decide
No Changes in Other Counties.

Lexing gton, August Platter all,
Lexin gton county may return to the
sale Of liquor.
According to a report of one of the
managers of the election at Ehrds
store, in the Dutch Fork, who brought
the box to Lexington, the returns for
that precincts is reversed, showing
that the dispensary received vote OF
46, while prohibition received II. This
changes the situation very materially,
giving the dispensary an advantage Of
"a votes over prohibition, showing
that the dispensary had received a
total of 96S, prohibition 914.
The commissioners of election, G..
A. Goodwin, B. K. Kyzer and T. H.
Rawl, will meet on Tuesday next,
when the official tabulation will be
made. There may be other slight
changes in the final roundup. 1t is
not known whether contest will be
made or not.

Accent Result Gracefully.

lBarnweI, August. 21.-There will
be no contest on the result OF the
dispensary election held in this coun-
ty on Tuesday. This was definitely
announced yesterday morning after it
was learned that the dispensary had
been voted book by such an over
wnelmire majority.
Tie Rev. A. E. Evison, one OF the
prohibition leaders, said:
"The size of the dispensary vote in
this county makes it unmistahenly
evident taat the people want the dis
rensary. AS contest OF the election,
if made, could have no ultimate effect
in changing that decision, it seems the
better part of wisdom to acquiesce
with as good grace as can be mus
tered up.
"It would be an excellent thing to
secure a court ruling on the issues in
volved, but I am not so personally in
terested in that as to feel justified in
spending much money to secure it"
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1913-08-26
No Contest Expected.

st. Matthews, August 2l.-There IS
evidently no disposition to dispute
or contest the result of the lbluor
election Tuesday. There was a ma
jority for the sale of liquor even ex-
cluding the negro vote. There Is al
ready a considerable scurrying to and
fro in the hope of eating dispensary
plums and the outcome will be watch
ed with interest.
There has been much comment al
ready about a change in the forth
coming division of dispensary funds
Heretofore the town has gotten half
the profits, which is considered ex-
cessive, and a strenuous effort, it is
said, will be made for more equlta-
BILE distribution of these funds.
The prohibitionists say that they
will come again four years hence and
that the outcome will be different.
One thing seems certain, that the
liuuor situation is not settled yet in
Calhoun county.

Official Count Necessary.

Sumter, August 21.-It seems that
the result of the election of Tuesday
is still in doubt, and will remain so
until the board of canvassers have
canvassed the vote and announced
the result of the official count of
next Tuesday. At present the prohi-
bitionists are willing to abide by the
result of the election as announced
by the managers, and are unwilling
to make any move until the official
count is made. At the same time, the
dispensary advocates claim a victory
for their side, because of irregulari-
ties at two boxes in the counting of
the votes.
1t is alleged by the "wets" that in
Ward the managers opened twelve
envelopes containing contested votes,
all of which were for the dispensary,
and counted them, changing the re-
suit from a majority of thirteen to
marjority of one in favor of the
dispensary. 1t is also reported that
at Concord a number of votes were
scratched on, the majority of them
being against the dispensary, which,
if Thrown out, will increase the ma
jority for the dispensary. At the
same time, later returns from Bloom
Hill charge the vote from 8 for and
2 against the dispensary to II for
and 8 against the dispensary, thus
making the majority against the dis

The woman in company with ner

Sheriff White asked her to step clos

last for one week.

instead of twelve.
If the challenged votes in Ward 3
are thrown out, this will leave ma
jority of three in favor of the dispen-
sary. However, the official canvass
may change this result either way
especially as there are known to be
quite a number of challenged votes,
which may or may not be counted
Tuesday.
The matter has created a great deal
of comment, and is being talked OF
generally on the streets, neither side
being willing to yield or concede dur
ing the interim between now and next
Tuesday, when the recount is made.
At the same time, neither side is will
ing to make any announcement OF a
contest at the present time, although
both sides are quietly collecting data
which they may use if there is occas-

Governor Hands Off.

Columbia, Aug. 22.-Gov. Blease
today declared he was through with
the matter of any attempted State
loan. He said that in srite of the fact
that he had vetoed that part of the
appropriation bill making him mem
her of the loan committee along with
the treasurer and comptroller gener-
al, the legislature had overriden and
forced the thing on him. They did
this, he declared, when they knew
I did not have any acquaintance with
these gentlemen" referring to treas
urer Carter and Comptroller General
Jones.
The governor says that in spite OF
this fact he did his duty and got the
loan, and that any further action Is
I'D to Treasurer Carter and Comptrol-
Ter General Jones, who constitute a
majority of the borrowing board. He
said these two officials mad tried to
iniure him politically in this matter
inst as he told the legislature they
would do, but that they had failed.

ment says:
