suffered such humiliation that he is
said to have so wished to die with

the fire battery hoping to be struck
down. But none of his reverses made
him any less the popular at home.
In recent years he interrupted his

Charleston American

Charleston American
Columbia Nov. 20.-The returns so
far received by the state board of can
vassers, meeting in the office of the
secretary of state, the chairman of the
state board, have effectively put a
quietus upon the charge made by the
anti-Reform press that there would
be a bolt in the general election held
on November Z. AS a matter Of fact,
there is no use for comment, for the
vote tells the story, and is proof con-
elusive to any fair-minded man that
Former Governor Blease neither au-
thorized the printing of any tickets
with his name thereon, nor took any
part in the matter whatever. The
truth of the situation is that tickets
were issued and that the anti-Reform
faction of the Democratic party was
hoping that Mr. Blease would take a
hand. This he did not do. There has
been no definite announcement from
any authoritative quarter, however,
as to the campaign of 1918, and unless
>conditions within the Democratic
party are clarified before that time,
there seems to be little doubt that
there will be new method of con-
Quoting elections in this state.
Former Governor Blease and his
political lieutenants, however, have
consistently stressed the point that
such action as they may take will be
as the leaders of what they believe to
be a majority of the whole Demo-
Gratis of South Carolina, and that all
this talk of an appeal to the negro
vote has come from their opponents,
with an evident intention to stir up
strife.
The state board of canvassers has
been in. session for several days this
week. The counties of Aiken, Ches-
ter, Fairfield, Marion, Orangebufg,
Richland and Spartanburg are still
missing on the state and county re-
turns, and in the federal election the
counties of Chester, Fairfield, New
berry, Richland and Spartanburg are
missing.
The total vote in the general eiec-
ton will go between $4,000 and 10000
So far as the vote has been reported
only TAI votes were cast for Blease
as a protest against Manning.
1t is we'll known in South Caro-
lima how this vote came about and
that Mr.. Blease had no hand in it.
John Cantey, of Camden, Progress
sive candidate for governor, has,
among the votes accounted for so far,
with the counties missing as stated,
received 18.

Merchants of Alexandria Meet This,
Afternoon and Consider Mea-
sure Now Before Legislature

Merchants of Alexandria who pur-
chase goods to the extent of Sl0O,OOo
per annum will meet in the Cham
her of Commerce this afternoon at !
O'Clock to discuss the proposed Dill
now pending in the state legislature
in session in Richmond to increase
the rate on licenses for merchants
doing q business in excess of $780,
900 per annum.
When the finance committee of the
legislature found that they faced a
deficit this year of nearly million
dollars by reason of the segregation
which was formerely taken by the
state they proposed number Of IN
creases in taxes to make up this deficit
Among the matters suggested was
the increase of the state licenses Tor
merchants. This license IS based on
the amount of purchases and the rate
heretofore has been 90 cents on each
500 of purchases with a minimum
Of SIS per annum.
The new rate was fixed at 80
cents on each $500, with a minimum
of $40. This retail merchants all over
the state made vigorous protest and
at a meeting held in Richmond ten
days ago the Alexandria retailers
were represented by j. w. Monroe
president of the Retail Merchants AS
ISOLATION land r. E. Knight. vice
president of the state association.
AS a result Of their protest the
oil was amended in the senate so
Is to make the increase OF 10 cents
Der $100 only apply on purchases in
excess of 100000 per annum. This
amendment will therefore let the
small merchants out of any add
tional taxes but will fall heavily on
the big stores anG wholesale mer-
chants throughout the state.
There are dozen Alexandria
firms affected and they claim that
instead of having the rate on the
amount of their purchases increased
hey should be reduced as the great
.r amount of the goods they sell the
closer is the marcain on each sa!a.
1t is expected Aat the big NOR
chants will arrange to send rcprcs-
cntatives Richmond to appear before
he committee Of the house and son
ate who have the bill under consid-

Southern Extends System From Alex

andria to Sails.

In order that it may extend the use
of the telephone Tor dispatchlng
trains over the entire section OF It's
line from Alexandria to Salisbury,
$50. miles, the Southern Railway
Company has just authorized the
construction Of two telephone CIR
cults between Alexandria and Monroe
distance of 100 miles. The construc-
ton work will furnish employment
to :, number Of men, and will be un-
der the direction Of W. d. Potter,
superintendent Of telegraph, who will
organize the gangs for the lnstaIl3-
ton of tia wiring and station COUP
ment
The work will be started as soon
as the workmen can be organized, ana
the necessary materials secured. be-
tween Monroe and Salisbury the
Southern had used the telephone for
dispatching trains for Il number oil
wears. and the results have been SO
satisfactory as to justify an eNtcn-
sion Of this system.
The telephone has several adVan-
taces over the telegraph system Ser
vice is quicker, and it is easier to
guard against errors. a number oil
other railroads have tried out THIS
system successfully recently. Inc
dispatcher writes out the order as
,hs sends it, spelling out all hsurcS
such as train numbers, engine num-
bcrS and time. The receiver writes the
message as he receives it and then
repeats it TO the dispatcher spelling
out all figures. The telephone brings
the sender and receiver into close
touch, and the dispatcher, should til"
occasion arise, can talk personally
with the conductor or engineer oil
any train on his division.
. The line between Alexandria and
Salisbury is Il very important part Oh

The sign brings to mind that there
will be changes in the business occu-
pations of many of the residents OF
the community, after the tlrst OF
next November, when the state pro-
hibition laws go into effect; many
men now in the liquor business VIII
be compelled to leave here in order
to find work to do elsewhere; while
some very choice pieces of real estate
will be on the market.
Several men who now hold liquor
licenses are preparing to leave the
city! Some will go in business else
where, others will retire and still
others will go into other fields. ono
well known city official who Is in
the business preparing to spend the
balance of his days on an orange
grove in Florida.
Some days before the election on
state wide prohibition was held the
Gazette issued a special issue IN
which it stated its belief that more
than 1000 people then connected in
some way with the liquor business
would be compelled 20 leave the city
We see no reason to revise our hg-
ures at this time. Already number
who were connected with the glass
factories have left because of the de-
crease in their business due to the
growth of the prohibition sentiment
Others have gone because there has
been a smaller demand for intoxicants
and consequently no work for them
to do.
1t is thought that there will be d
g decrease in the number of IL
censes which will be issued on next
May for the six months remaining
during which whiskey can be sold
Many of the saloon keepers have al.
ready reduced their stocks.
While there has been no public an
nouncemert made of the plans Of the
brewery it has been stated unofiicially
Oh several occasions that the brewery
would close at the end Of its present
license year. While the law will per-
nit it to continue in business it can
not sell it's product in Virginia and
there is no market for it outside of
the state.
Many people who are ardcntly OPP,
posed to prohibition and who ware
consistent fighters against the Vir-
ginia state wide law, are expressing
themselves equally as strongly in
favor Of the Sheppard bill which
will make Washington dry. They de-
clare that it is the only thing that
will help us, as conditions were would
