An Oiclat Invitation Forwarded the State Volunteer Firesnen's Associatton to Hold the Annual Meetia :aud Tournament in New. ierry. The Board of Firemasters has for. warded the State Volunteer Firemen's Ast.oclation an oilcial invitation to hold the annual meeting and tourna mont In this city on May 15th and 16th, and It is safe to say that Newberry is sure to secure this event. The city council has acted wisely and thoughtfully, and by resolution hec.r tily endorsed the invitation sent Presi dent Haynes of the association, and will lend its every possible assistance in making the occasion an ideal May festival. The following is a copy of the invita tion and endorseient, by the city coun cil: J. R. laness, ES(., President Fouth Carolina Volunteer Firemen's Asso clation, Greenville, S. C.: !)AR Sit: The BoRId of 1liremaste's of the Newberry Pire Department here by extend to the South Carolina Volun teer Firemen's Association a hearty invitation to hold their annual tourna ment at the city of Newberry, S. C., on the 15th and 10th of May, 1901. Extending to you this invitation %%e wssure you that we shall do all within our power to make your v*sit one of pleasure and one long to be remem bered by the association. Very Respectfully, C. J. PUnicE..,r, Chief N. F. D. J. W, iIAIMARDT, Pre. 10x. Co. J. R. Haynes, Esq., Pres. S. C. V. F. A. Greenville, S. C.: DEAR SIR: The following resolution was unanimously adopted by the city council at their last regular meeting: Resolved, That we hereby heartily endorse the invitation extended by the Board of FiremaEters to the South Carolina Volunteer Firemen's Associa tion to hold their annual tournament in this city on May 15th and 16t,b, 1901. Resolved, That we hereby urge the S. C. V. F. A. to accept this invitation, and that we hereby assure them a hearty reception. OTTO KLETTNER, Mayor. W. S. LANGFORD, Clerk and TreaF. There is no doubt but that the Invi tation wilt be accepted, and there should be no delay in getting to work to make it a success. Newberry has never failed to come up to what was ex pected of her, for she already has an enviable reputation for unbounded hos pitality, and when word goes forth that the Firemen's annual meeting is to be held here, it means that it will be the most representative meeting and most fully attended of any in the his tory of the association. There will b2 competing teams here from Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Laurens, Abbe ville, Greenwood, Chester, Columbia, Camden, Winnsboro, Rock Hill, Or angeburg, Sumter, Florence, Cheraw, Georgetown, Charleston and other towns ane cities in the State. It, is the intention of the committees, we understand, to have in addition to the hand reel contests, hose wagon con tests also. This wvill be something new for Newberry, and wvill be the most in teresting and exciting of all, as some of the cities and towns in the State have some of the fastest and prettiest teams in the South, and there is great rivalry between them, namely, the Columbia and Sumter teams, especially. There is but one thing to do now, and that is for every cit,iz~en to make up his mind to put forward his best efforts to make this a gala occasion In 1001 for Newberry, and her praises will be for ever sung by the firemen and their friends throughout the State for years to come. Augusta has her Merry Makers' week, Charleston her Gala week, Co lumbia the State Fair, Spartanburg her Spring Festival, Greenwood Is thme eon vontion city, now lot Newberry come to the front and combine all in one and have the greatest time of all. It i' going to take some money to pull this tournament off successfully, but if every one will do his part it will bo burdensome on none and mutually beneficial to all. It is not only to be a big time for the firemen, but fo. everybody. Trhere will, or should not be a business house in the city that will not be lavishly decorated in gala attire to welcome the visitors heore. Committees from the Board of F"ire masters, the City Council and the 10x celsior Fire Company, will call on the citizens in a few days-and give to them liberally, for in this undertaking all previous records must be broken, A Little Boy Seriously Hurned. Wednesday morning, February 6, Mr. J. B3. Cromer, Cromers, 8. C.,"was burning off some land when his lit.tle son, Elmer, three years of age, who had followed him to the field caught fire and was seriously burned. Mr. Cromer was at the other' end of tihe field, and by the time lhe reached the little fellow the flames were too large to srlhother, so whIle tearing the burning garments from little IElmer the skin canmn off in spots on his little back. The flames singed all the hair off of his poor little head. D~r. Carlile was immediately sermon ed, ho says, "lit,tle Elmer may recover, but the burn is a serious one." It is necessary to add that Mr. Cro mer burned his hands very badly while trying to releasei the little sufferer. Thme many friends of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Cromer atid also those of little Elmer wish him a speedy recovery. IiLMER'S FRIEND. Stoney Battery items.

Amick, of near Prosperity visited in this section' this week. I have been considering ti classified list, of acts passed at, the re cent session of the Legislature an made careful considerations of the ap propriations for current year and ilnC many appropriations made which w( could very easily do without. Fo example, you can take higher educa tion and you find the appropriation for this year as follows: For some fev as the public institutlors, South Caro lina College $42,557, and for the Soutli Carolina Military Academy $28,250 and for Winthrop Normal and Indus trial College $69,672, and for the Col ored Normal College $8,000, and al these institutions are said to be for the benefit of the poor man's children, amd after all these appropriations for then a poor man can send his son or daugh ter to any other institution just, at cheap as he can send them to ona o t,ho institutions which are receiving big appropriation each year from th State treasury, and we don't see wh so many of the members of the Logis lature and Senate raised such a how about John L. McLaurin working tc have postmaster Baker of Lake City South Carolina, family given $2,000, an< for the lynching of Baker' when he wa! only trying to carry out the law of thi State and at the same time they wer making an appropriation for a negr4 college of $8,000 for the support of th institut,ion.

['rh State, March 7th.] n The board of directors of the State dispensary have not yet taken any ac tion on the matter of granting permits 9 to the distillery companies who wish to engage in business in Columbia. It was expected that the board would an r nounce its decision yesterday, but the decision, if it has been reached, was no' given out and no information was f to be had as to when it would be forth I coming. 3 Application for permits was mado t yesterday by two new concerns. Lana B han & Son, of Ballimore, and the Pal r metto Distilling company, a Savannah, - Ga., concern, want to establish distil leries here, and filed their applications - with the board yesterday. There were rumors that there would be several other applications, but these two were the only ones to materialize. The amenement to the dispensary law allowing the establishment of dis tilleries in the State in cities of over 20,000 population seems to have caused 3 quito a stir among the distillers through 3 out the country, and there apyears to be 3 a scramble to get in on the ground 3 floor. The establishment of the distil l eries rests entirely with the board of directors of the Stato dispensary, as no distillery can be established without a permit fromn the )-oard. If the board grants the permits that have already been asked for, Columbia will in a few months have four big distilleries with a capital of *50,(X0 to $75,000 each. But, as forecasted in The State of yester day, the board seemis to be willing to grant a permit to only one distillery and the interest now centres in the question of which concern will get the prize. There are now four applicants, the Richland Distilling company, of which Mr. J. S. Farnum, of Charles ton, is the head; the Carolina Distil ling company, backed by the Kohn Dis tilling company, of Birmingham, Ala., and Mr. W. Boyd Evans, of Colnmbia; Lanaian & Sons, and the Savannah concern, and there may be others yet to hear from. The question is one of the most interesting that has come up in dispensary circles in iany months and the outcome is being awaited with interest. The town of Midway, in Banborg, has made application for the establish -uent of a dispensary at that place, but the board has not yet acted. Yesterday was spent mainly in list ing bids for supply of liquor for the en suing quarter. The work of awarding contracts will probably be commenced today.
