A dispatch from Columbia 8a;s6iere are strorg indications that the prohl bitlon executive comoilttee will, a' the Fair Week meeting, name a State ticket with Joseph A. McCullough for Governor, and Louis J. Bristow for Lieutenant Governor. At tbe confer enoe held here a few weeks ago b>tb these m-n opposed nominations being made, but Thursday's Issue of The Baptist Press, edited at Greenwood, by Mr. Brlatovr, nominatee Mr. Me Gullough for Governor, and advocates putting out a ticket. ^ 'it Is significant thee tbe editorial favors county control of the liquor question. * Lit us have a prohibition law, but where tt will not be enfo od let It not be a force,” says tbe editor il “Where a majority of men are Ulng to write their names on a pe- ition asking for the privilege of sell ing whiskey, the best thing to do is to allow them to sell It, ucd.T string •at regulations.” T ie editorial also says. Beyond tbe moral question Involved there Is a pollt’cU a de. Men must be elected t>> tfice who will enforce a law against quor selling In certain counties in tnis State that seems to be quite be vend obtaining. A clear teat of sen tlment must be made. Prohibition is impossible nowhere, but It seems Im practicable In some localities. Reoog (Pz'ng this fact wo must take it Into cmslderatlon. In a community where public sentiment is not suffle ently strong to elect p’Ohlblti »n offlo^n who will enforoe a prihlbltion law, such a law would be ttiggrantly violated and would be practically Inoperative and that fact must not be Ignored There fore, we say let ue adv^tate a probibl tlen law which will cover tbe entire State, but with a provision that the county wbioh Is willing to assume the moral responsibility aod odium of aell lag ob’skey and the legal responsibil ity of enforcing the law, that such a ooun y may vow upon* the question and show where it stands. If such a county should decide to aell whiskey, then let the Legislature prescribe the manner In wbioh it may be done, and throw around its sale all safeguards anl reatrictions possible. "The dispensary la fast going, and the nioral element of our oitleeos must have something to off if In its stead or de moral znion will follow. * We have long been a student of tbe prohibition question, with parti cullar reference to South Carolina, and uur calm judgment, upon mature cun dltloni, la bristly outlined In the fore going paragraphs. Prohibitionists are being In iked to at this time and we must > ff »r the State the hist method of d aimg with this vexatious ques tloh But such a State prohibition law «ill not enf orce itself. We must have a G v or nor who will enforce it, a pre- ulbltlonist.” Preparing Pnr fti<j Pair The Chamber of Commerce of Oo* lumbla, as has been its custom for aev- jral >ean, Is sparing no efforts to make tbe approaching State Fair one of the moetstcsesefal in its history.

REMAINS A MYSTERY. The Mystery is Heightesed by Mrs. In- gerick, Who Was Found Coo#clons With Many Wounds on Her ' 1 Person Refuse to Divulge Nsme of Assailnnt. Orange county ia aroused over a quadruple murder on the Olney farm, ab ut four miles from the centre of Middletown, N. Y. Wednesday tbe v odles of Mlllls 0. and Frederick R O ney were found in a wood half a mile above their hrm >. They hid been shot to death Friday ’afternoon The cd; of Alio Ingerick, aged nine bad been 'ound with her skull crushed in the oeiKr of tbe Olney farmhouse, and later her mother, Mra. Martin Ingerick, living, but with her skull crushed In three places, was fourd in a horse stall in tbe barn, two hun dnd yards from the bonne. The abeer oe of the O neya, who were brothers and old men, caused snrpri e not nom'xidL with suspicion No search was made for them until Saturday morning, when a posse of farmt rs organic >d a search, and at 9 o’clock the victims were found lying within 60 feet of each other. Lulu Inge’ , c T > TT -Tre d | d return-' ed to tbe tuui 5 o’clock Friday evening. Sue had left tbe house early in tb# morning with tbe Olney broth era, for whom her mother waa house keeper. The mm rode In a wagon carrying a c n of milk to Pilgrim Cor ners When she arrived home Friday evening she was accompanied by Amanda Wheat, her sister In law. They found the bouse cloeed, and her mot.uer, sister and the mm were a- 't to be found. In terror, Mtk Wheat ard the girl fled to tbe Davis farm, adjoining, where they asked Daniel Davis to go baok with them. Mr. Davis oomplud and searched the nouse from garret to tbe 11 st 11 jot He became gnatly alarmed, for the aousehold goods were In omfuslon, a trunk and several handbags being bunt open and bureau drawers pulled out and their contents atrewn upon tbe floor. In the cellar, huddled In a corner, was the body of Alice. The little one lay upon her faoe, with hand*extenL ed above her bead. The akuU was crushed. Tbe alarm was given and neighbors hastened to the scene The Middletown police were notified and half a dtzm deteo Ives drove out. Lanterns were procured and a thorough search of the premises made. At 9 o'clock Mrs. Ingerick was found with her skull broken, In a vaeent boree stall In the barn. Al though she had three wounds upon the head, any one of wb’cl might be expected to have instantly killed her, she appeared to be only partly Insen sible. But all attempts to learn from her the details cf the tragedy were unavai.lng. It was believed she might know the Identity of her anailant but that she was determinedly shielding dim. Alexander Merritt, who took her and the body of her daughter Into town, became impressed with this Idea The woman made several at tempts to arrange her skirts, and tnree times In tbe half htur's ride raised her bead and groaned. A 1 ! night long PoliceOaief Brinks'' tuff, with several deputy snerffi, searched the roads and lanes near the Olney farm, but without result. With daylight two hundred men many of them armed, joined Ute searchers The Olney farm Use at tbe base of a range of densely wooded foot bllle. It consists of one hundred and seventy acres, and the brothers had botfght the right to cut oord wood In the up lands. One of tbe searching parties penetrated the woods. Chief Brin- kerhoff and Deputy Sheriff Holer Herman led this party, and Fred Olney, eon of Wlllia C. Olney, was with him. They bad scarcely entered the wood when Ring, tbe O.ney collie d g, ran out to meet them. He barked and turned back into the glade .as if In- them to follow him. Tbe ers followed into the D;rby where the body of Frederick R. Olhey, the younger brother, wai discovered. The man lay upon his back, with his hands over his chest A w, uad bsblod tbe right ear showed wnere the bullet had entered. L-'SJ than a hundred feet away Willis 0. 01o»y lay with four bullet wounds in nia body, one entering the right side and one passing entirely through tbe chest. The wound in Frederick's bead b re evidences of having been h 11 loted at close range, and It appeared as If he might have been surprised and fell without a straggle. The elder brother seemed to have tried to escape and was evidently brought down after three bullets had been fired into hie bedy. Oae went through the right arm, another en tered tbe right groin, a third the right chest cavity, passing through, and tbe fourth through the throat. No evidence that the bodies had been carried to the spot was feund, and It is bellsvcd. the men were sur prised by an esseseln, who followed them, and that they foil almost st tbe same moment. Tnelr pockets were tamed Inside oat and their gold watches and all valua 1-* were mlss.- Icg. The antop y developed that the brntbers had been slain with revolver bullets of heavy calibre. The motive for the crime Is believed to be robber^; for the brothers are known to have had about 1700 la cash between them. Within a few day*, 1150 had been paid to them, and they drew a considerable sum from a Mid dletown bank. Charles Frrmmell, of Howells, below M'dUetown, paid Willis O ney 184 47 a few days ago, and Thomas Ogden, a mils dealer In Middletown, paid the brothers f bill of $70 on Wednesday morning.
