DE- Sooth Carolina Has Important Local Optioi Election Today. COLUMBIA. S. C. Aug. 17. It has been a long time between drinks in South Carolina, but the adlty which has settled like a pall over the Pal metto State may be partially lifted as a result of today's elections In twenty-one counties. The state has been entirely, "dry" since August 2, when the dispensaries of the twenty-one "wet" counties were temporarily closed pending today's decision at the ballot box. It will probably be two weeks before the results are officially announced and the dispensaries in such counties as have determined to remain "wet" are reopened. ; Twenty-one counties are already In the prohibition camp, and exactly the same number are officially engaged in the sale of intoxicants under the county dispensary system. The law enacted at the last session of the leg islature tooK no account or the ter ritory already dry, providing only for elections in the wet counties. The Prohibitionists have made a strong fight and the contest is prac tically conceded to them, with the ex ception of Charleston and Richland counties, the state capital being lo cated in the latter. The "blind tiger" element of the state is in favor of prohibition, and has used Its influence. South Caro lina was dry during the period just after the abolishment of the state dispensary, of which Senator Till man Is called the "father." The general assembly at its recent session passed a statu prohibition law which went Into effect on the first Tuesday of August in'everycounty In the state, and every dispensary In South Carolina was closed on that day. It was then provided by this act? that on the third Tuesday In Au gust, there shall be held an election In -every county now having dispen saries and if the election results In a majority for the sale of whisky the dispensaries in that county shall be reopened as before, but If there Is a majority in any county for prohibi tion the dispensaries in that county shall be closed. The effect of this was to give absolute prohibition in every county in South Carolina for the two r-oeks between August 2 and to day. V We Want Your Wants IN Tonight's meeting of the board of directors of the Union county exposi tion is to be one of the most Import ant meetings yet held by those Inter ested in the fair inasmuch as com mittees will be appointed tonight which will actually start the work In arranging the allot ed space of the city where the fair will be held into defi nite shape.

PORTER DAY, MISS DAY, Principal . Primary Teacher HEAD OF CH URCH II E RE. (Continued From Page One.) there are several In La Grande who were even more loth to miss the op portunity of meeting Bishop Donten- wlll. The bishop is on warm terms of friendship with the Newlin family and Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Meyers. When Mr. Meyers attended college and school at New West Minister, B. C, the bishop was then one of the fac ulty. Later Mr. Dontenwill was or dained to the bishopric at New West Minister, and shortly afterward left for Europe, where he was later pro moted to. the superior in generalship of the Oblat, an order of the priest hood, with headquarters at Rome. Thus, the bishop might be said to be closer to the Pope Pius physlclally and otherwise, than even the Cardinal. Ignorance of the fact that the car dinal and the bishop were due to pass through here today, led to the lost opportunity. . B, A. Benham of the La Grande Investment company was the only man of the city to meet the cardinal in person. MONEY SAVING COAL ffl VlUftNINCMBUftNItM .
