Why Sumter Had No Election.

Columb bia, September Especial:
Secretary of State R. NJ. McCoWn to-
day, as chairman Of the State board OF
canvassers, prepared the written option
Of the board throwing out the election
in Sumter held recently on the ques-
ton of dispensary or no dispensary and
given to the dispensary by the county
board of convassers. On account OF
certain alleged irregularities the state
board stated there had been no legal
election in Sumter and threw 1t out,
leaving the county dry.
It is expected that the dispensary
forces will take an appeal to the
Courts.
The following is t boards opinion:
"Decision and e. .lg Of the St1te
board of canvassers in sthe sur ser
case.
"On hearing the appeal herein from
the county board OF canVassers OF SUM
ter County, we are unable to find that
a majority of the votes cast at sa.c
election were either for or against The
sale of alcoholic liquors and beverages.
Said election was so close that existing
irregularities are sufficient to effect the
result, or make it doubtful and difficult
to determine. In fact, it is impossible
to do so, as we cannot positively say on
which side each and every illegal vote
was cast. And when such irregular
tiles or illegalities are of such char
acter and extent as to leave it doubtful
whether the result has not been affect
ed, and especially when it appears that
ILLEGAL votes have been cast. sufficient
10 number to effect the result, and the
polls cannot be purged of them, it
would be travesty on popular govern
ment to sustain the election said
Judge Hydrick in deciding the Wright
case. which opinion was confirmed by
the Supreme Court: hin itself
is sufficient to justify :, III declaring
that there had been II legal election
expressing the will u the qualified
voters. 1--WE find chat there were no
ballots cast at said election which con-
formed in the statutory requirement,
Section 236, Volume !, Code OF 1912, all
the ballots cast being two and one
half inches wide be three inches long
instead of two and one-half inches wide
by FIVE inches long. This was admitted
by all parties and some OF the ballots
were exhibited to the board during the
hearing, which plainly showed this
fact
IF the general law is applicable to
this, election, and we believe it is, the
decision of the Supreme Court in the
case OF ex parte Riggs, 81 5. 9. Ee'
ports, page 29S, would effectively dis
pose of the matter. See Act OF 1917,
providing for this election, page 745,
and such election shall be held and
conducted by the officers and under the
same rules and regulations provided by
law for general 7elections,' See, also,
Wright vs. Board OF Canvassers. I6 S.
G.. page 5S2, holding that the general
election law is applicable to special
elections upon question or questions.
"We are therefore of the opinion and
so hold and declare that there has
been no legal election and that the
election held on the 10Th day OF Au-
gust, 1918, in Sumter County, was
illegal. null and void"

fortunate experience OF his life. Up
to that time he had been a little wild
