The name of Dr. James II
Carlisle of Woll'ord College, ha;
been mentioned in conneetiot
with the vacancy in the U. S
Senate, as have also those of Con
gresstnan McLaurin, Ex (lovernoi
John Gary Evans, Judge lirawley
Ex-Senator Irby, Hon. J. E. Tindal,
Railroad Commissioner W,
I). Evans, Ex-Senator (State) R.
B. Watson, John T. Sloan, S. (r,
Maytield and others. But who
will receive the appointment is
yet a matter of conjecture.
As the vote on the tariff* bill,
which may he taken at an early
day, will be very close, it is important
that South Carolina have
a Senator appointed to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of
the lamented Earlo. And as the
electing-oody, viz : the Legisla
tore, will not inset till January,
it is likely that (Jovernor Ellerbe
will appoint some one to serve
till the Legislature meets. In the
mean time a primary will likely
be held sometime during the
Summer or Fall to nominate a
man for the position.
McLAURAN THE MAN.
Just as we no to nress news
reached here that John L. McLaurin
has been appointed 1. S,
Senator, news that the KstkkI'Hisk
is delighted to chronicle.
A Rati Showing.
Writing under date of May 14
the Chester correspondent of the
Columbia liegister says: The innual
meeting of the stockholder*
of the Catawba Spinning mill wa?
held yesterday. The mill was
found to be in a deplorable financial
condition under the management
of 1). A. Tompkins,of Charlotte.
a debt of $5G,000 having
beer, created since he assumed
cuarpe as rresiaent. it was alsc
found that he had pived credit to
the Chester mills,an insolvent institution,
to the amount of $25,000,
without any security. The
stockholders were loud in their
condemnation of i'residentTompkins,
and passed resolutions tc
that effect. A new board of directors
were elected, and the
/ books of the company will be
kept at Chester, instead of Charlotte
as heretofore. An action
has been broupht apainst Mr.
Tompkins and his "dummies" to
recover the $25,000 advanced tc
the Chester mills without security.
Interest for one year on the
first mortgage bonds of $50,000 on
the Chester mills was due on May
1, but tho same has not yet been
paid. No reason has been given
by the board of directors for this
failure.

THAT FAMOUS LETTER AT

1 The Senator Joins in the Demum!
for nn Investigation into
Dispensary Matters.
; Governor Kllerbe having de!
clined to give iny letter to the
press as I requested, I waited
to hear from him before giving it
out. It was written very hurriedly
and some things in it seemed to
him to he a inflection on his administration
and he also objected
to my strictures on some men

the language which he considered
, to reflect on him and give the;
I j letter to the public in the form of
( a statement. I only addressed it1
, to him in the first place because
governor, he alone could order an 1
investigation. It is substantially i
, as first written except that 1 have
. changed my comments on the
Agricultural hall matter some >
( since reading the opinion of j
j Justice Harlan and left out one (
, or two senteuces which might be,
, considerded as making boastful j
comparisons.
The dispensary scandals and'
the recent decision in regard to
the Agricultural hall case have!
, excited a deep feel init of concern i
in the minds of the people of the
, Stare, and have given my enemies
a good excuse to engage anew in
the pleasant past time ot abusing
and slandering me in connection
I with both. I commend heartily
i J the governor's action in pressing
II the recent investigation and join
in the sentiment: ' Let no guilty
man escape." I have no desire,
nor do 1 believe has the governor,
to make scapegoats of anyone
but if there a?e any big fish in
the net, let them not break
through and punish onlv the little
ones.
There has been more or less
looseness in vogue in regard to
samples from the very start and
it is probable that contraband
liquors and samples became
mixed in the minds of men connected
with the dispensary so
that due regard to law has not
been had in the disposal of con,
trahand seizures.
Put if there are no graver
crimes in connection with the
management than these with
which they have thuB far been
charged, I do not see that much
good will come, even if Scruggs
and Ciaston are punished to the
fullest extent of the law. In this
connection, I would suggest that
ton much stress seems to be given
to the having of a "hocus-pocus"
key. Scruggs was the trusted
agent of the board of control, so
much so that they refused or
failed to elect a commissioner
and 1 cannot see what need he
had for a key. Shipments must
have been received constantly
and 1 do not know how they could
have been placed in the contraband
room unless there was a
key always in his possession to
open it with. It is possible, at
this distance, however, and for
the lack of familiarity with tho
present workings of the dispensary.
my criticisms along this line
are worthless.
Samples were sent in in great
quantities when I was connected
with the dispensary and not
knowing what else to do with
them, they were freely distributed
among the visitors to the
institution, as one means of determining
the qualities of the
liquors, and also as courtesies. I

used them. as did Governor
Evans, and, I presume, the
present State board of control
have done likewise, and I have
no apology to make for it. During
my term there were very few
other articles than liquor seized,
though I recall the fact that kegs
and small barrels of liquor were
found packed in rice barrels and
also in casks of hams. I instructed
Mr. Traxler to take account
of all contraband articles
and dispose of them according to
law. While there is a great howl
raised in regard to the dispensary
by the old barroom advocates,
it is done with the view of
undermining and destroying the
dispensary system, and they do
not care so much lor the punishment
of these men as they rejoice
in the opportunity the recent expossures
have allotded them for
revamping the old slanders about
"rebates."

tu ioiiuw up mo line oi light laid i
down lon^ ago: to besmirch the '
character of auy and every man 1
connected with the dispensary '
and to magnify everything which 5
can be criticised in its manage- 1
ment in order to break it down
in the affections of tho people J
and to accomplish the restora- 1
Hon of barrooms in some form. 1
The system lias no inherent '
vice, which ought to work its j
dissolution, and it only requires 1
to be conducted as the asylum,or (
as tho tax department is run to !
command the respect and support
of the people. No one can claim
that this is a matter of impossi- i
bility, and if the system shall '
finally fail it will be owing to (
the improper administration of ,
the law. So much for the general j \

the cry is "Investigate" and while

Rheumatism
Is a blood disease and only a blood reme3y
can cure it. So many people make ?
the mistake of taking remedies which
it best are only tonics and cannot possibly
reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith,
[Jrecucastle, Indiana, says: "For years
[ have suffered with Sciatic Rheumatism,
which the best physicians were uuible
to relieve. I took many patent
medicines but they did not seem to ^
reach my trouble. I gradually grew
worse until I was unable
to take my food
or handle myself in
any way; I was ahsolutely
helpless. Three
^ bottles of S.S.S. relieved
me so that I
r^nflHH^was soon able to move
\? my right arm; before
long I could walk
across the room, and
irhen I had finished one dozen bottles
was cured completely and am as well as
ever. I now weigh 170."
