loin nu wouui noi i?o allowed to
speak, unci not to come on the
stage unless he wanted to make a
ffceno. He, Smith and others
thought they had inlluenee and
enough followers to run McLaurin
over the county association's purpose
not to hear McLaurin. The
farmers arc suspicious and only
trustworthy men must be in tho
lead.
All the ."-opposing and guessing

He will be treated likewise.

Spartanburg, S. C., Aug. 0.?
There was u sehsationul incident in
tho second day's session of the dispensary
investigating cominittuo.
At the hearing yesterday and
this morning much was said with reference
to tho eotloment of Senator
Cole Please, a member of tho com*
muteo, Willi tormer Dispenser
Mmris, UK attorney for the Atlanta
Brewing Com puny.
licferenco was made by u witness
this morning that certain
witnesses had seen Blouse and they
stated that he would not appear.
Blouse arose from his seat and in
a determined manner said ho was
tired of having his name mentioned
in connection with the affair.
He said his name was being
brought into the matter by Lyon
and Chnstensen, who were his political
enemies of deepest dye and
one who said his conduct in Spartanburg
in connection with tho investigation
was other than that of
a gentleman was a liar.
Lyon said that he had always
held the gentleman in the highost
OHtoein, but since he learned of his
conduct m this city be was frank
to say thai his opinion had some
what changed
For a moment matters looked
squally.
W. A. Foster, clerk in Ferguson's
dispensary, testified this
morning that Ferguson had frequently
received cases of whiskey
from whiskey bouses. Ferguson
nruvn womn nevnv* rl rn til/ uomn nn/l
exchanged bottles for whiskey
in stock. lie admitted that the
whiskey received was also sold
In addition the witness stated
that the dispensary received presents
from whiskey houses, umbrellas,
matches sufes etc. Ho
said that Ferguson frequently
drank whiskey in the dispensary.
,1. T. Harmon dispenser at
No. 2, was put under tho searchlight.
He admitted during crossquestioning
of ,J. F. Lyor,member
of the committee, that all resourens
created by his dispensary were
not returned in account to headquarters.
Such foi example as
money recoived from sale of empty
cases.
The last witness of tho day was
II. B. Cunningham, now State
constable, who at one time was
applicant for a clerkship of dispensaries.
Ilo lator withdrew
the application and explaining his
course said that ho too* the step
at tha instance of C. O. Smith,
at that time chairman of the county
hoard. Smith, Cunningham
swore, paid him $50 to withdraw,
A former dispenser who was on
the stand during the day allcgod
thai after his first election ho presentcdja
member of the hoard a
hirddog in return forinfluonce and
later it cost him several hundred
dollars for the same support.
This is only one of the many examplics
that wholosalo oargainmg
has boon done in order to secure
positions under the dispensary
aifutnm
"J1
Interest is almost at fever heat
and there is considerable discussion
of first one phase and another.
The committee seems to be
in earnest and it is expected that
everything in the management of
the soiling of whiskey and beer in
this county will lie brought to
light and that the whitewash brush
will not housed, li is being freely
predicted that the startling and
glaring state of affairs developed
during to-day means the abolishment
of the dispensary whon it is
put to a vote of the people.

reports, timely resolutions
were introduced and enthusiastically
voted by the meeting.
They follow:
"Whereas, it is being circulated
through the newspapers and by
gossippors that tho tin flic in il licit
lhpior is notorious, .that whiskey
is as free as water and that blind
tigers were uever more ucuvo in
Pickens county and that conditions
arc daily growing w.irae since tho
dispensary was volod out, therefore,
be it.
"Resolved, lirst, That wo horehy
doclnro that in our honest,
candid judgment the said rumors
and newspaper reports aie false.
"Resolved, second, 'J^'hat we
have no doubt that the law has
been violated some since the dispensary
was closed, but not to any
greater extent than before.
"Resolved, third, That we voted
against the dispensary from
principle, believing that it would
be a saving 111 money and an im
provement in the moral and social
conditions of our county and we
believe this lias been accomplished.
We are well pleased with tho ini<provetneiit,
and so far as our votes
and influence go never expect to
sec the day when liquor shall he
sold by authority of law.
"Resolved' fourth, We hereby
pledge ourselves to report any
and all violations of tho dispensary
law coining to our knowledge, and
we call upon all good citizens,
the sheriff, each magistrate in the
county and their constables and
also upon 'he inn ic'pal uutl oriiios
of each town in the county to keep
a vigilant eve on any and all suspec
ted blind tigers or illicit liquor
deulors and deul promptly with
mem.
"Resolved, fifth, In the event
any officer faile? to dischargo his
duty in the enforcement of tho
dispensury law and tho sumo shall
come to our knowledge, we pledge
ourselves to report tho mutter to
tuo governor and nsk him to removo
atich officer and to put constables
or other officers in the
county who will do their duty.
"Resolved, sixth, That the
chairman of this meeting is authorized
to appoint one nau from
each voting precinct to be known
as tho executive committee, of
which committee the chairman of
this meeting shall bo chairman and
have the power to call snid committee

Several very oitbusiHtoic p?oI
lihition spoechus wore inude.
I it seemed to he the voice of the
! meeting that the mutter of pro- ]
I lubtlioii should not tie launched
into polities in state or count) ;
that it would t>e unfortunate to
enter into such an arrangement at i
this time, and that any tendency
in that direction would he dischurg- |
ed. At the same tune every t
member present was called upon ?
to ho careful about the kind of t
men voted for. v
A letter was road from Senator t
Tillman, the gist of which seemed t
to bo in favor of retaining the ,
dispensary until it was purged and ,
on rifled. I'll the letter the senator (
expressed a wish that about a ,
dozen countios ntight vote out the ,
dispensary between this and Jan. i
1* It looks as if the senator's 1
wish will he gratified.
Two Ladies Have Dispute And 1
Ono Drops Over Dead.
Special to The State.
Ilatcshurg, Aug. 9.?A very
sad and unusual calamity occurred
here yesterday morning in which
Mrs. Mu.*y Miller, a 11 aged
respected lady lost hor lifo. Some
time previous Mis Miller and
Mrs. Kikard, a neighbor who lives
just across the street, had some
misunderstanding that led to ill
feeling bet wen the two ladies
Yesterday morning, it anems l'rom
the ovidjncc adduced at the coroner's
inquest, that Mrs* Kikard
wont cross to Mrs Miller and the
difficulty was renewed. Mrs. Millor
was sweeping at the time
with an ordinary straw broom
and sho walked toward Mrs Ki
kard waving her away with hor
broom. The latter became exasperated
as the conduct of the
other and jerked the broom out
of her hand and t ubbed her in tht
face with the bushy end. Mrs.
Miller fell back and expired im- j
mediately, froui heart failure it is]
thought. Mrs. Miller has been
subject to attacks of the heart foi
some time and it is thought that
this brought on an attack front
which sho died. Both families
havo the hearty sympathy of many
friends here.
