Fractal to The Observer. Torkville, . C March . There is,- of course, considerable Interest In this section in the turn taken in the matter of winding up the affairs of the SUte dispensary-, The . principal interest however, is not in the mat ter of -what disposition shall be made of the 1100.000 in the bands of the winding-up commission as to what effect the alleged conflict between the State and United States courts will have In the matter of punishing the thieves. Practically all men of both factions, except a few of the partisan State dispensary nolit.lclB.na. now freely admit that there can be no doubt that aiifh whnlMtala steallnr as has been cractlced in connection with the Cnnih Parnilm Kmta rilxnenaaxv sys tem from Its inception up to the very - . . . . I I . 1 . last .days 01 its existence, is wuvu a parallel in the history of the SUte, and It is hardly probable that any . . . . . i toutnern state nas ever nan a mil iar, experience so far as the amount of money involved Is concerned. While It is generally oeiwvea ini rvrrr concern now holding; Claims against the State could be forced to make a correct showing as to charges r Iumm rinrinr its entire business relations with the State, very few,, if any, would Pe entitiea to receive m cent on the claims they are now con tending for, while on the other hand many of them would owe the SUte large sums of money. But. as stated, the people generally are not Inter ested in this. They want to see the grafters from the largest to the smallest behind the bare, and they have a notion that it Is possible that in case the United States courts should be able to take charge of this aide of the proposition 'there would be more likelihood of convictions than there would be should the gtait er be tried by the Siato Circuit Court In Columbia with ; titles com posed of the same material thfcl ha been turning thieves, inurUnrcrs rnd t.thr criminal l Joowi iher ft I years nnd yiars. TVj iur.m in Un'ted Htates Court would be chosen from the whole SUte. If the grafters could be tried In Spartanburg, Cherokee or vrrrv counties It Is more than likely that tlfey would get what Is coming to them. POLITICS ?.V 70RK. . "While no candidates for the va rious positions to be filled in this county next summer have as yet been announced, still the politicians are not asleep by any means. It 1 gen erally understood that there will be not less than three candidates for State Senator to succeed Mr. J. S. Brlce, who will probably not be a randldate. Those spoken of are Messrs. James E. Beamgunrd, of Clo ver: W. H. Stewart nnd W. B. Wil son. Jr.. of Rock Hill. Mr. Beam guard represented the county ably and successfully In the lower house -...- i trma .ud has a larae following. Mr. Stewart has been n.in irk of the Senate for a number of years and Is well known ....... . ... 4 m in political circle, .ml " '" attorney and has never held any po litical position other than that of county attorney, which he is now holding. While it Is a fact that con siderable opposition has developed against Senator Brlce since he com menced the fight several years ago that resulted In the overthrow of the Stale dispensary, "till there Is little reason to suppose that he. would be defeated should he offer for re-election. Mr. Brlce has a large and growing law practice which natural ly suiters during his absence from lils office during the legislature and this is why he has about decided to retire from active politics. OPPOSITION TO VTI. SATE ALSO. The same crowd that opposes Sen ator Brlce also opposes Repres,nta tlve Save, and they are laying their plans to defeat him should he offer Tor re-eieeuon n usnwei. . their announced purpfsn to stuck, him on the most excellent road law which he framed nnd succeeded In having passed at the last session: an outline of which was furnished In this correspondence recently. It is to te hon-d that the doctor will be come a candidate for re-election end fight the demagogues who are fp poslnR this, the most sensible and practical road law ever enacted In the State, to a finish and if he does there is little doubt 'nit that he will win. York county can 111 afford to le the services of o valuable a Representative as Ir. Saye has been, and It Is ressonable to suppose that a majority of the voters know 1t. MOXKY I'SKll ILLEGALLY? So far'as known at this time there is no pronounced favorite In the' race for United States Senator In this countv as yet. but It 's pretty safe to ay that If as the campaign pro gresses circumstantial evidence Indi cates that mony Is wing used other than in a strictly honorable and le gitimate way to Influence votes for any special candidate or candidates. that candidate or those candidates will be slaughtered unmercifully on eleeon day by the voters - whose -votes are not purchasable and It Is safe to say that the latter class com poses not less than & per cent, of the total vote. The same statement wiil apply to candidates for other oflWs. but Is made In connection with the senatorial race for the rea son that it Is reported that money la to be used freely.- frhort Items of Xrai Proni .Chester, K.

Practically all St. Louis manu facturers are increasing their output, but the greatest arid most remarkable growth has been made in "Star Brand" Shoes. "Think of it! Ten years ago there was not Factories are busy trying to supply the demand. ' v To illustrate the magnitude df these Ten Big "Star Erand" Factories and office building: If they were all com-" ;bined in one great structure, you would ?ee the tallest building in the world. It would front one hundred (100) ' feet on Washington avenue and one hundred and forty (140) feet on Tenth street, and tower fifty-seven. (57) stories high, and would be called the Commercial Success and Wonder of the World. In thb building would be the .5000 employes who" - make the ten high-class "Star Brand "specialty lines. -'.These expert shoe artists constantly working on one specific r. line of shoes. For instancea specialist on "R. J. & R." $5.00 and $6.00 high-grade shoes for men never sees a . cheap shoe. This specializing in the manufacture of v Star crana bnoes explains tneir nign degree or per- (r -fection. .' ..;'V;;; v'.-.-" , X -f The star trade-mark on the heel of every "Star Brand" shoe is a guarantee of honest shoemaking. It is the trade mark now looked for by people who demand good de- pendable footwear. A protection against ail imitations. The star that can not be found on any but good shoes; v The daily manufacturing capacity .of the ten "Star 1 Brand" factories is 52,000 pairs. To make so many shoes necessitates the buying of immense 'quantities of shoe material; often train-loads of leather are bought. This quantity buying of leathers and findings for cash, secures " for us the very lowest prices, and explains why. "Star , Brand" Shoes are made better and sold for less.To manu-: f acture good shoes economically you must be properly" equipped. That is why we have ten big factories. - Over one hundred ."Star Brand"alesmen have just left St. Louis to call on over 15,000 'Star Brand" mer chants in nearly every section of the United States. They are showing the strongest linepf shoes that have ever been sent out of the World's Greatest Shoe Market. In their trunks they have Ten Big Specialty Lines that are made by one company, sold by one sales force, shipped and handled by one snipping and office force, and adver-. tised by one advertising department. This means the . -most economical manufacturing, selling and distributing . that is possible. The merchant who confines his pur chasesvto the "Star Brand" line profits by these econo-, mies, because he gets better shoes for the prices paid. The wearer of "Star Brand" shoes also profits by these economies, because he gets a better shoe for the price paid. The ninth year's shipments of "Star Brand" shoes were over Ten Millions of Dollars, which was a gain in shipments over the previous year of over Two Millions, this being the second Two Million Dollar gain in yearly shipments made in the past three years, and the two largest gains ever made m one year by any shoe house", in the world. Such evidence, coupled with the fact that over three million people are wearing "Star s Brand" shoes, is .conclusive proof that "Star .-Brand Shoes Are .Better." - -X.. . . v' V;. Those merchants who desire to handle the most sat isfying and strongest advertised line of shoes on earth should write at once for one of the "Star Brand" sales men. The wearer who is looking for honest footwear " should ask his dealer for "Star IJrand" shoes, ; r. 608EOT8,eJ0HNS0N pANDHOli Co. MANUFACTURERS, - - - ST. LOUIS. . 4
