For the opening everything about

DR.. Stands Not IMPROVING.

The many friends of lDr. w. A..
Shands, Of Clinton, in the county and
state will be gricvcd TO learn that his
condition has not improved since his
return from the hospital at Richmond,
in June. Although the gallant old
Confederate soldier is making a brave
ilght against ravcnous foe the con-
test is an uneven one and much fear
is entertained for his complete rccov-
cry. Inquiries as to his condition
pour in and many Of his old comrades
and friends have called to see him but
his condition is such that visitors are
not admitted to his room.

In this county tho vote went about
four to one for prohibition, the only

Only two counties appear 10 nave

Charleston, which gave tremendous
percentage in favor OF the retention OF
the present system, and dorchester,
which finally has given small ma

All the other disponsary counties
voted for Statewide prohibition, sew

the dry counties went in favor Of
Statewide law, the only ones in which
the contest was in any way close be-

slight majority, and Berkeley, where
the vote appears too slight TO count

Indications point toward large
and enthusiastic meeting Of farmers
here Saturday when Mr.. W. w. Long,

Zens of this county and by the experts
who will accompany Mr.. Long to the
city. An invitation has been sent to
