SEVEN WET. FOUR DRY
RESULTS OF ELECTIONS ON DIS
PENsARY QUESTION.
Vote in Most Counties Was very
Close Showing Sentiment Evenly
Divided Among Voters.

The dispensary elections are over,
in at least eleven counties Of the
State, as result Of Tuesdays voting
and seven Of this number gain the
legalized state or county dispensary
system.
In two cases the vote was so close
that official tabulation will be neces-
sary to establish the result. In near
ly all others the margin was small.
Florence and Jasper have retained
the dispensary system while BAN
berg, Barnwell, Dorchester. Calhoun
and Orangeburg have voted to return
to the sale Of liquor by the county.
Abbeville, Lexington, Williamsburg
and Sumter voted to remain dry,
though Sumter may win out on ap-
peal and recount.
OF the counties which went dry
Abbeville was the only one giving a
decided majority, the anti-dispensary
forces in that county piling up a ma
jority Of 55S against the sale OF Il
quor. In the other counties which
went dry the vote was very close.
Lexington leading in this respect
with majority Of four against the
sale Of liquor, but which may be an
error, as a mistake is claimed at one
box; Williamsburg with fourteen and
Sumter with twelve also seemed al
most evenly divided, but the close
ness Of the vote in Sumter makes the
result still doubtful.
OF the wet counties Barnwell, with
604 majority, and Dorchester, with
337, were the most decided, and Or
angeburg with a majority Of three
for the dispensary was the most eV-
enly divided. The majorities for the
dispensary in other counties were:
Bamberg 1S0, Calhoun 80, Florence
81, and Jasper 3S.
Should the official returns bear out
the unofficial figures, South Carolina
will rave eleven dispensary counties,
as follows: Charleston, Richland,
Florence, Georgetown, Beaufort,
Aiken, Dorchester, Calhoun, Jasper,
Barnwell and Orangeburg.

fully for her life, Mrs. Ethel benson,

government, but confirmed the fact
that an exchange Of notes had taken
place. Two notes from Mexico have
been sent to Washington. The first
was reply to that delivered by Mr..
Lind, this note including the demand
for recognition Of Mexico.
The second note was sent direct to
Washington and demanded that re-
ply to the previous note be made be-
fore midnight. This is regarded here
as an uItimatum. One official in dis
cussing this latter note said that Mex
leo had reached the point where she
either must bow her head in humilia-
ton before the United States or adopt
an attitude OF degance. The first con-
tingency, he added, was regarded as
impossible.
Senator Lodge and Stone, Monday
morning were shown the following
cablegram to Secretary Bryan from
Charge O'Shaughnessy, dated Mon
day night, and received at four a. m.
Tuesday:
"The correspondents have cabled
that the Mexican government has
stated that It's note to Lind demands
that the United States recognize the
Huerta government before twelve
o'clock midnight to-day or state
practically to that effect.
"I brought the matter to the ur-
gent attention Of the minister OF for
eign affairs at 10 p. m. He imme-
diately saw the president and Minis
ter Gombernairon, Senor Uurrutia,
who is supposed to have given out
the statement, anad he authorized me
to deny this statement to my govern
ment, as having no foundation in
/ fact"
Charge O'shaughnessy cabled Sec
retary Bryan from Mexico City early
Tuesday that President Huerta, thru
Foreign Minister Gamboa, emphat1-
cally denied there was any "founda-
ton whatever" for the statement that
Huerta has issued an ultimatum to
the United States demanding recogni-
tion with the alternative Of handing
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy his passports.
A dispatch from John Lind inform
ed President Wilson and Secretary
BRYAN that he had been in conference
with Provisional President Huerta at
an early hour Tuesday. He charac-
terized his reception and conference
with Huerta as cordial.

DYNAMITE AT WINDOW
MAYOR GiYNOR OF NEW YORK,
WAS IN DANGER.
Explosion at City Hall Prevented by
Strip of Wool Wound Tightly
Around Base Of Fuse.

A deadly charge of dynamite
three whole ten-inch sticks and two
halves, with a fuse and detonation
was discovered Thursday Afternoon
near Mayor Gaynor's Office window ir
the City Hall at New York. The
bureau Of combustibles found thai
the explosive was 40 per cent. dyna'
mite, the regulation blasting proper
ton, and the amount found would, il
exploded, have wrecked the City
Hall.
The Mayor was in his Office when
the dynamite was discovered by cit
izen passing through City Hall Park
Mr.. Gaynor evinced little interest
when told Of the explosives and re-
NAMED apparently undisturbed at his
desk while police officers hurriedly
drew a Gordon around the dynamite
to keep the crowd back.
Mr.. Gaynor frequently receives
threatening letters, but he would
make no statement regarding the
possible connection between any pre-
vious threat by mail and the dyna-
mite found. It is just three months
ago last year that he was shot in the
back by a crank and so badly wound
ed that for several days it was feared
he would die.
Close to the explosive was a piece
Of Chinese punk and several partly
burned matches. The dynamite and
fuse were wrapped in a piece OF
heavy cambria. The cloth resembled
the fllets worn by Italian women OF
the working class.
Experts Of the bureau of combustl-
.bles said the only thing that prevent
ed a disastrous explosion was the
presence of strip of wool wound so
tightly about the base of the fuse
that spark could not reach the de-
tonator. An edge of one dynamite
stick was scorched.
Police authorities say laborers
sometimes carelessly drop dynamite
sticks near their blasting operations
There is an excavation shaft on the
Broadway side Of City Hall Park
leading to the new subway construc-
ton. Detectives are making a close
investigation of this location, al
though contractors declare they do
not use 40 per cent. dynamite in their
operations.

WOULD DESTROY WOMAN
SENATOR TMLMAN TALKS on
WOMAN VOTING.
He Says Ultimately Politics VIII De-
stroy Woman. Which Means Doom
Of the Republic.

Senator Tillman, showing some OF
the former vigor that won for him
the soubriquet Of "Pitchfork Ben"
attacked woman suffrage in a Senate
speech Monday.
"It is beautiful dream" said be-
"that female suffrage will purify pol
itics. The vital and important thing
for US to consider Is the effect on
| women themselves. We had better
endure the evils Of corruption in poll
tics and debauchery in our govern
ment, rather than bring about con-
dition which will mar the beauty and
dim the lustre Of the glorious wo-
manhood to which we have been ac-
customed all our lives.
eve can better afford to have de-
graded and corrupt politics than de-
graded and bad women. To have both
in ever increasing degree, as was the
case in Rome, would make the world
so unspeakably horrible, as we'll as so
corrupt, that good men and women
both would disappear from the face
OF the earth and civilization would be
blotted out like 1t was in the dark
ages, after the fall Of Rome.
"I am so thoroughly a convert to
the belief that you can not touch
pitch without being defled, that
shudder to think Of the consequences
to the womanhood OF America,
should suffrage become universal,
taking In both sexes and all races.
Yet, the experiment is going to be
tried, I fear"
Senator Tillman said the demand
Of woman for suffrage was growing
too fast to be stopped by "old fogies,'
like himself and that it was apparent
the men Of the country would give
them what they demanded, "even
though it be to their ultimate in
jury"
"I believe woman will improve pol
itics," he said, "but ultimately poll
tics will destroy her as we know her
and love her; and when our good wo-
men are no longer to be found and
we have lost the breed, the doom OF
the republic is near"
Senator Tillman included in his
speech a vigorous attack upon the d.
yorce evil and referred to the Diggs-
Caminetti white slave cases in Cali
fornia.
1--WE have bad women in South
Carolina and throughout the South
he said, "but the habits Of our people
and their customs, inherited from OUT
forefathers, make it dangerous to
monkey with mems womenkind." :"
Some Northern people call US barba-
rians. If the California men had our
customs, Diggs and Caminetti would
not be alive now, because they would
have been shot like dogs, and the
fathers of the girls they have ruined
would be acquitted almost without
the jury leaving the box.
"The unwritten law Is the best law
to protect women's virtue, that
know of. The more I think about
the iggs-Caminetti case, the more
! outraged I grow at the state OF NOR
ais and society, which not only per-
mits such crimes, but encourages
them"

BLEASE AND PARDONS
WHAT 4 FRIENDLY NEWSPAPER
SAYS ABOUT 1T.
Interesting Story Printed About the
Governor in a Paper That Has Al
ways Supported Him.

Under the caption will Governor
Blease Be Candidate for Any Office
in Campaign Next Summer" and
with headlines four columns wide
and extending nearly half way down
the front page, the Anderson 1ntelli-
gencer, which has been one OF the
few newspapers in the State to sup
port the Governor through thick and
thin, printed on Tuesday story that
will, no doubt, be read with interest
by the people Of South Carolina, par
ticularly in view Of the oft-repeated
declaration of the Governor that he
will be in the race for the United
States Senate. The article seems to
have been based on several paroles
recently issued to Anderson County
prisoners, and is as follows:
That Governor Cole L. Blease will
not be candidate for Office next
summer is the opinion Of many lead
ing Anderson County Blease support
ers. Recent actions Of the Governor
in extending executive clemency, af-
fecting Anderson County, is the
cause Of this belief, and it Is shared
by many Of the most prominent
Blease men Of the county.
Actions Of the Governor in these
instances were a complete surprise,
as much so here as anywhere in the
State, and his supporters are lined up
now on both sides. Friends Of the
men paroled claim that his action In
releasing them from the Penitentiary
will strengthen him, while others are
as thoroughly confident that 1t will
lose for him in this county at least
1000 votes. The whole matter has
resolved itself into just this:
Many Of Governor Blease's most
influential supporters are openly
condemning him for his recent &C
tions, and declaring they will fight
him if he ever again offers for office;
while on the other hand, large num-
bers who have heretofore been luke
warm towards him, because he had
not taken favorable action in the
cases of their imprisoned friends,
now declare they will take of their
coats and pull for Blease for the
Senate.
1t is being freely talked by many
Rlease and Anti4Baease men that the
Governor sees the Handwriting on
the wall and has determined to clean
out the Penitentiary. Some few in
the ranks of his strongest supporters
are of the opinion that he will throw
wide the gates OF the Penitentiary
before he leaves the Governors chair.
But this extreme view is taken by
only a few.
The Intelligencer does not care to
express itself or the recent paroles,
especially on the more noted one,
since it has friends on both sides.
Every citizen is familiar with the
facts and will express himself as
either favoring or condemning this
particular act as we'll as the Gov
ernor's whole course during his ad-
ministration, at the polls in the next
election, in case the Governor offers
for Office. He has that right, and the
Governor himself has declared that,
God permitting him to live until that
time and his health to be retained, he
certainly will be candidate for a
seat in the Senate Of the United
States.
