WILLIAMSBURG
TO Be wet"
SUPREME COURT DECIDES CON-
TESTED ELECTION IN FAVOR
OF DISPENSARY.

Williamsburg county is now added
to the dispensary column. Saturday
morning the supreme court upheld
the action of the State board of can
vassers in confirming the county
board of Williamsburg county,
which declared that the election had
been won by the dispensary forces
August 10, last. The court dis
missed the petition of the prohibi-
tionists, which sought to have the
election boards reversed and the
county kept in the dry column. The
opinion of the court was written by
Associate Justice Hydrick.
The court upheld the action of the
Williamsburg board in throwing out
the boxes at Muddy Creek and He
bron precincts. which changed the
face of the returns, which had given
a majority of two for those oppos-
ing the sale of liquor, into majori-
ty for the dispensary. The votes at
these two precincts were thrown out
because of irregularities and in this
the county board and the State board
were sustained by the court. The
petition was brought by T W Boyle
ct al against R M McCown and the
State board of canvassers.
In the opinion Justice Hydrick re-
views the action of the county board
in declaring that all protests and
contests must be filed on the day when
the board first met to canvass the
election returns and approves of
this course, setting out the necessity
for fixing a definite time for filing
such protests and further calling at
tention to the fact that more than
ordinary diligence must be used in
contesting an election. The day the
board first met to canvass the re-
turns the only contests were against
the two boxes subsequently thrown
out, and a protest was filed against
the Kingstree box, but this was not
presented on the day set for hearing
the contests. Efforts to file further
protests after the date set were
made, but all these were overruled
by the board and their action sus-
tanned by the State board and by
the supreme court.
The protest made against ] CKin-
der and M A Ross by the contestants
that they were disqualified from sit
ting on the board as members was
not sustained by the facts presented.
said the court.
The dispensaries have not been
opened in Williamsburg county,
pending the outcome of the fight the
prohibitionists made against it in
the courts. With the decision of the
court that the dispensary won, as
found by the State board Of can
vassers, 291 for to 214 against. it is
presumed that the machinery will
be organized at once and dispense
ries opened in this county.
The decision in both the Lexing-
ton and Williamsburg county cases
having been won by the dispensary
forces, there is general interest being
taken in what the decision in the
Sumter county case will be. The
State board threw out that election
on the ground that the ballots did
not conform to the law and the dis
pensary forces appealed to the su-
preme court.

Deafness cannot Be Cured

by local applications they cannot reach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to
cure Deafness and that is by constitutional RENE
dies. Deafness is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed Deafness is the result and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition. hearing will be destroyed
tarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

At A Conference Held In Co.
bumbuS On Thursday
A Suit Will Be Filed In Court
1t Is Claimed

Secretary Charles H. Graves gave
as his opinion, to the Knox county
board of elections on Thursday after
noon, that the referendum petitions
for new city building in Mt. Vernon
and for the closing of West Burgess
street, were filed accordig to the pro-
visions of the law and that the objec-
tions filed by F. o. Levering would not
stand.
The secretary of state further di-
rected the election board to proceed
with placing these propositions on the
ballot at the next regular election,
unless stopped by an action of the
court.
The matter was presented to the
secretary of state at his office in Co
lumbus Thursday afternoon at z
o'clock. The election board was repre-
sented by the chief deputy, r. B. Arm
strong. Judge F. o. Levering was
present in behalf of the persons filing
the objections to the petitions, the
petitioners were represented by Hon.
w. M. Rooms an dthe city by City So
licitor Harry w. Rooms.
The chief deputy first presented an
outline of the matter so far, the filing
of the petitions and the objections.
Lengthy arguments were then made
by Judge I.evering in behalf of the OBJ
jections and by Messrs Koons in op-
posing the objections. Judge Lever
ing contended that the petitions were
not fled according to the provisions
of the constitution, while the other
side held that the petitions had been
filed according to the provisions OF
the law and that the amendment to
the constitution was not adopted when
this law was passed and put into op-
Grafton.
Secretary Of State Graves held that
the petitions were filed according to
the provisions Of the law and that
they would stand. He further stated
that the persons opposed to the pc
tition could bring the matter into
court. The secretary Of state inti-
mated that the law, under which the
petitions had been filed might be un-
constitutional in that it conflicted with
provisions of the constitution, but
stated that he could not declare law
unconstitutional.
Judge Levering stated Thursday af-
ternoon at the conclusion of the con-

CONVENTION
OF The Church OF Christ
Next Week

Extensive preparations are being
made for great gathering of the Dis
ciples of Christ at their annual CON
vention in Bowling Green, June1-4.
A program of quite unusual nature
has been prepared. Besides the usual
great inspirational addresses and
stirring reports there will be a feature
altogether unique in such assemblies.
A School of Methods is proposed as
an important part of this convention
in which skilled workers will give
careful class room instruction on
every phase Of church and Sunday
School work. 40 periods are provided
for such class room work. Among
topics for instruction are Church
Finances, Evangelism, Church Music,
Sunday School instruction for all de-
partments and for Temperance and
Missions.
The reports of work done during
the year by the state society will be
full of achievement. New churches
have been organized; the churches in
jured by the food of 1913 have been
assisted to prosperity again; the
state evangelists have had fruitful
work; the Sunday schools have pros
pered abundantly.
The Disciples number well over
1000 in the state with 600 churches
and the State officers look for large
and enthusiastic gathering in Bowling
Green.
