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.

(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.
