JUST POLITICIANS.

| The voters of Abbeville county,
last summer by an overwhelming ma
jority, said they did not want the
dispensary re-established in that
county. Last Monday a mass-meet-
ing of the voters of the county, pur-
suant to notice, was held in the court
house for the purpose OF devising
ways and means to keep tho county
dry. After the matter was thorough
iy discussed, a resolution was adopt
ed, calling upon the legislative dele
CATION from the county to enact such
legislation as would prevent liuqor
being shipped into the county, even
for personal use, or in other words,
make the national law, known as the
Webb law, effective as to Abbeville
county. Says The Piedmont Head
| light:
after the adoption of the resolu-
| tion the members of the Legislative
delegation were called upon to eX-
press themselves on the resolutions
adopted. Senator Mars declined to
state his position and so did Repre-
sentative Ashley, according to the
account of the meeting in The Alb
beville Medium. Representative j.
Howard Moore, however, did make
his position plain. He stated that
there were so few people at the meet
ing that he did not consider it rep
resentative of the wishes of the peo-
pie. He stated further that he was
always in favor of the dispensary
and would not advocate a bill pro-
hibiting the shipment of liquor into
Abbeville because he did not believe
the people Of Abbeville county de-
sired such a bill.
eff Mr. Moore has been correctly
quoted he has branded the people o.
Abbeville county, or at least n very
large portion of them, as hypocriteS.
"a very great majority of them
voted for prohibition. Why did tney
vote for it? Knowing the good peo-
pie of Abbeville county as we do we
would think that they voted for it
because they wanted prohibition.
Mr. Moore evidently takes a very
dieffrent view of the situation. He
thinks they voted for prohibition
yet want their whiskey. Surely this
is a terrible arraignment of his fell
low citizens. II he doesn't think
Lney want "nlShey lie is lOl d pIOpSl
for that county be-
cause the people Of that county have
gone on record as favoring prohibi-
ton and their representatives should
be men who desire to carry out their
wishes. If they do not they are not
PERSONALLY, we do not subscribe to
Mr.. Moore's position that the peo-
pie OF Abbeville county are hypo-
critics; that they voted for prohibi-
ton but that they do not want it;
that they want the county to con-
tinue to be flooded with whiskey
the medium Of the express
office We believe on the contrary,
that they were sincere in their vote
for prohibition; that they desire to
remove whiskey as far from the Coun-
ty as il is possible to move 1t. The
people of old Abbeyille county were
not hypoCrites and we do not believe
the people of the Abbeville of today
are.
1T should be stated to his credit
that Mr.. +. c. Robinson, a member
of the Abbeville delegation, annOunc-
ed himself as willing to obey the will
Of the people as expressed in the dis
pensary election and favor reason

BRYAN's TRASH PILES.

AT BE suggestion Of Mayor Harris.
the reporter Of The Eagle made the
round OF the business section OF the
city this morning in company with
the city engineer TO note the way the
business firms Of the city are keeping
the backs OF their stores clean. In
most cases the conditions are almost
as bad as they could possibly be, with
the city doing the good work they
have been carrying on for the last
year or so. Great piles Of trash were
seen at almost every back door, and
Bryan street is literally strewn with
paper almost its full length. The
store proprietors. almost without ex-
ception, have the exaggerated idea
that all they have to do is TO dump
the trash out their door in any old
place and the city trash wagon will
come along and clean II up. The
drain ditch along Bryan street is prac-
tically stopped up with trash OF every
description which has been dumped
into It.
The city trash wagon is running
every day and averages about twelve
big loads of trash. This ordinarily
should keep a city the size OF Bryan
clean, but II was found TO be neces-
sary this morning to add two-horse
wagon with two extra hands to the
street cleaning force, in order to catch
up with the work. The city has about
50. 100 a year to clean its streets OF
trash and also to keep Main street
clean. The mayor and city council
find II practically impossible to do the
work they are expected to do with
this small amount of money, and
Mayor Harris earnestly asks that the
merchants give some aid in this clean
M work, and says unless something
is done to remove the enormous piles
OF trash and rubbish the ordinance in
regard to this will be enforced to the
fullest extent.
