The town will for while at lest ne
rid of this element, and the tn ty

legal way or do without. Just why

The dispensary agitation in Sumter
bids fair 10 become the warmest cam
paign that county has ever hat Both
-ides are said TO be oryanizing, and the
Prohibitionists have given notice they
are determined 10 prevent the elicit q
il possible, the other side DIES not Sem
10 have any SYSTEMATIC leadership. and
If it wins It will be from sheer force OF
members. In q movement OF this KIND
it is difficult to find men who are will
ing to set themselves up a| targets fer
the ouslaughts Of those claiming 70 he
defending an issue on moral grounds,
and this no doubt is the reason the Dis
pensaryites in Sumter do not seem to
have systematic leadership.
Aaron Prioieau. the very black as
pirans for contest fees, has again bob
bed up to serve notice upon the Federal
commissioners claiming the election on
the 29th of last month was OF no effect,
because there was no vacsncy IN the
First Congressional. Prioleau claims
he was elected to that Office in the No
vember election and that Mr.. Eeyare
was not the legally elected cand date,
and Cunsress has not yet decided the
legality OF Mr. Legare's seat, and tha
he, Prioleau, is The legal Represents
tive. He does not saw, however, why IL
was he did not appear before the bar OF
congress to take the oath OF Office. We
imagine Prioleau reached the conclu.
sion that Oh March 4'h, last, it would
have been a bad DAY for h'm TO hav'
appeared before Democratic Congre>>
60 claim seat. OF course, Prioleau has
no idea of being taken seriously IN
Washington, his main object is TO get
his claws on a wad Of $1,000 Uhc'e Sam
allows contestants. but under the pres
eus adminis'r .tion he will find if he gets
to monkeying around this congress he
is liable TO get back hume without d
Cent, and be Will be fortunate If be-
gets away that we'll.
