DISPENSARY Sc AHEAD

After hearing one of the most inter.
esting and sensational election con.
tests in the history of the county, if
not in the state, for more than two
days and half, the Lexington county
board of canvassers Thursday over
ruled the protest offered by the prohi-
bitionists over the outcome of the
election held on August 19, on the
question of re.establishing the dis
pensary in this county in Which the
dispensary won by majority of 56.
The contest will now be carried be-
fore the state board of canvassers,
which is scheduled to meetil Columbia
on Monday, Sept. 8, and in the event
that an adverse decision is rendered
before that body, it is probable that
the case will be carried into the Cir
cult Court. This met rs that LeXing-
ton will remain in the dry" column
for several months to come, as it will
take long time to 60 through the
several processes incident to a final
decision.
The report of the Lexington board
of canvassers is very lengthy docu-
ment and is interesting. In conclud-
ing it's decision the board says:
"With reference to certain testimony
that has been offered, to the effect that
certain members of this board had
taken drink of whiskey during the
days that this contest was being held,
this board desires to say that no mem

member of it was under the influence
of whiskey or other intoxicants to the
extent that it did or could have pos

Sheriff Sim J. Miller, of this county,
returned to Lexington Friday night
from Marshall, n. c., where he went
in pursuit of J. F. Gregg, a white
man, and $3.50 mule, the white man
being wanted in Lexington on charge
of practicing medicine without
license. Sheriff Miller succeeded in
capturing both the man and the mule.
Gregg was brought to Lexington Fri
day night but the mule had to be
shipped by fast freight and did not
reach here until Tuesday.
DR.. Gregg was indicted by the Lex
ington grand jury at the January
term of General Sessions Court this
year, and by consent the case was
carried over to the June term, bond
having been arranged for his ape

Gregg and the mule were located

papers for the man before going to
North Carolina which were honored
by Governor Craig and returned here
before the sheriff left Lexington.

could not accommodate tie immense
crowd that came to enjoy the day.
On Tuesday, the 26th, children's day
was observed in Bethlehem Lutheran

WHERE PIPES NEVER WENT OUT

One of the Oldest social clubs eve
established in London was the
Everlasting club. limited in men,
bership 10 100. The members diyid-
ed the day among them in such a
way that there were always some
members present upon the club
premises. The clubhouse was burned
down at the time of the great fire of
London, when the only remaining
member on the premises was nearly
burned to death because he had re-
fused to leave before he had emptied
all the bottles on the table. Tie fire
for lighting the members pipes was
never allowed to go out, an old
woman being kept solely for the pur-
pose of attending to it. During the
fifty years of its existence the men,
bers smoked fifty tons of tobacco,
drank 10000 butts of ale, 1000 pipes
of port and 200 barrels of brandy,
besides other drinks.
AuOlhti eAli dOluludly Nlub was the
Signing club. the members of which
were supposed to be wholly absorbed
in thinking of their sweethearts.
Each would hold in his hand a bit of
ribbon. a lock of hair, a purse. or
some other article belonging to the
object of his affection. and from time
to time he would address this in
terms of endearment. On initiation
the member had to compose and re-
cite a poem in honor of his lady. and
at the meetings a fine vas imposed
upon the member who did not sigh
five times within a quarter of an
hour.
The Surly club had its meeting
place near B~illingsgate Fish Market,
and the membership was limited to
eabmen, carmen and watermen, who
used to meet once a week and exer-
else the art of abusive language in
order that they might not lose the
reputation they had gained. Any
member found guilty of courtesy or
%politeness was promptly fined.
A club limited in membership to
men who agreed to stint themselves
to the utmost in order to increase
their possessions was the Split-Farth-
ing club. One member is reported to
have had his garments SO darned
that there a not enough of the
original material left to show the
texture. The members presented so
starved an appearance that it was
said there was not an ounce of fat
among the lot.-London Tit-Bits.

MAN SHOT ~ BACK DECLINES
TO PROSECUTE THE SHOOTER

Ed. McKelvey of Manhattan who
was arrested last week following a
fight with Cal Wilson at Spanish
Springs was given his release Tues
day afternoon after the grand jury
had refused to return al indictment.
Wilson, who was shot in the back
with a load of gun shot by McKelyey
appeared before the grand jury and
announced that he had no desire to
prosecute the case. From appear
ances the blame of the affair rests
equally between the two participants.
Rather than return an indictment
with unsatisfactory evidence and
place the county at the expense OF a
costly trial. the members of the jury
determined that the best policy would
be to ignore the entire affair.
