# NEWS AND GOSSIP ! AT STATE CAPITAL l - i DISPENSARIES Til REOPEN TOMORROW [ -VARIOUS MATTERS OF GENERAL i AND SPECIAL INTEREST. Col am bin, August 23:?Dispensary Auditor West to-day sent out to the various dispensary boards aud \ dispensers a letter calling attention j L to the fact that the act providing for | f^the closing down of the dispensaries m those counties voting against the sale of liquors provides that no claims shall be paid unless the same' have been audited. The following is Mr West's letter: j "Gentlemen: This is to give you notice that under Section 2 of an act of the General Assembly, 1909, providing for the closing of the several dispensaries in those counties voting against sale, no claims are to be paid by you uutil same have been audited, I approved aud ordered pain ?v me i State dispensary auditor Tnis. of: course, does not include nor prevent the payment of the current expenses incident to closing up the business, bat does include such items as may be due the whiskey houses with which you do business, any unpaid profits and amounts that you may owe banks on notes or for borrowed money. It is expected that all county dispensary boards will adhere strictly to the provisions of this act, and any violation of same will be reported promptly for the reason that it would in all probability give rise to complications and furnish ground for suits .and litigations. Yours respectfully, W b West, "Dispensary Auditor." In the counties that held elections " the dispensaries win very pruuuuiy be opened next Friday. Even in those counties in which protests may come up before the State- board the dispensaries will be opened, it is thought. Toe State board will declare the result and whether there aie appeals to courts or not the dispensaries will be opened. In this county t it is almost a certainty that the dis. ^ensaries wiil open Friday morning. The Blue Ridge Railroad. According to a story in au upcountrv paper interest in Blue lvidge (Railroad probabilities has again been revived. The story says in part: "The visit this week of Vice President Andrews, of the Southern Railway, to Seneca and Walhalla and the Blue Ridge properties above that town, stimulates the belief that 'something is doing right now' in that section. Of course, with the !* customary reticence prevailing in railroad circles, Col* Audrews gave out nothing for publication, but his ?a nAbnnar] CTdt 1 fn I OU511ICS9 IUCIC 19 avauvnaugvu w have been in the interest of Blue Ridge probabilities." Election to be Protested. Local interest ceutres in the protest to be argued before the county board of canvassers to-morrow in this city. The prohibitionists in this oounty are claiming that the election was not conducted altogether accordto law, and the effort will be ^ made to have the same annulled. The board for this couutv consists of Messrs W II Townsend, J B Friday and W H Sligh, with Mr E J Brennen as clerk of the board. The returns recently published showed that in this county the dis* " ?*7iiri niif nrop npfihihitirtn in ' p^UOdl J nwu vuw vi vi - ? election by a majority of 110 votes. The following precincts were carried: Ward 1, Ward 2, Ward 3, Killian's, Waver ley, Hyatt Park, Taylor's, Sligh's, Davis, Fairmouut, Gad8en,Ea8tovtr aud Garner's. The vote at Hopkins was a tie, being 14 to 14. The prohibitionists carried Wards 4 and 5 and Shandon, Horrell, Wayside aud Midway. 4 .The protest to be filed by the proBrhibiticn side to-morrow will touch, W it is said, the constitutional and code I ^provisions as to registration receipts ^ having to be shown. Should the K board decide that a sufficient number of voters were affected in the event the contention or any part thereof is sustained, the election will be held K over again. It they decide to throw out the protest the State board of canvassers will be appealed to, and it is stated that if the State board throws out the contest the courts will * 1 f be resorted to by the prohibition forces here. The following are the code arid constitutional provisions that will probably be brought up to-morrow: From the constitution of 1895? "Managers of election shall require of every elector offering to vote at [ any election, before allowing him to vote, proof of the payment of all taxes, including poll tax, assessed against him uud collectible dunug tbe previous year. The production ot a certificate or of the receipt of the officer authorized to collect such taxes shall be conclusive proof of) the payment thereof." From the code of 1902, Section 213?"The managers of election shall require of any elector offering to vote at any election, before allowing bim to vote, in addition to the production of a registration certificate, proof of the payment of all taxes, including poll tax, assessed against him and collectible during the previous year. The production of a certificate or of the receipt of the officer authorized to collect such taxes shall be conclusive proof of the paymeut thereof." The State board of canvassers meets Thursday in the office of Secretary of State McC'owu for the purpose of tabulating returns and TltOPD U.' ill COUSlUCUUg juvicoio. xumv ..... probably be several protests, unless the same should be abandoned in the meantime after a hearing before the county boards. Pardons Refused. Governor Ansel has refused pardons to Ehas Winter and T ,T Cunningham, both of this county. Winter was tried and convicted of grand larceny, being sentenced to 18 months. He was accused of having taking brass from the Southern. T J Cunningham was sentenced to five years at the spring term of court, l'JOfi, on the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. The petition was refused by Governor Ansel upon the refusal of noth the Solicitor and the Judge to recommend the pardon. Solicitor Timmerm&n said that iuasmuch as the assault was upon a woman the case was a very aggravated one. Judge Memminger, writing from Charleston, said: "I earnestly recommend that this application for a pardon be refused." Attorney General Lyon was out of the city to-day, and therefore the C, C and 0 opinion was nut given The matter will most probably be settled as far as the opinion goe6 when Mr Lyon returns to-morrow. Capt J G Mobley passed through the city to-day en route to Anderson to address the Red Shirt reunion. Capt Mobley says the State Fair prospects are very bright indeed. Charters and Commissions. A commission was issued to-day by the Secretary of StateHo the Melletta Land company of McBee. The capital of the company is $100, -00. The petitioners are: L A Kerr and W S Blakeney. The company will do a general land, turpentine,cotton, ice plant, and stock aud bond busi uess. A charter was issued to the Hartsville Oil Mill of Hartsville. The capital of the company is $75,000. The petitioners are: J L Coker, J J Law ton and D R Coker. A charter was issued to the Franklin Holding company of Greenville. The capital of the company is $10,000. The corporators of the company are: F F Capers, R C McPhersou, Perry Beattie, C S Webb and J E Sirrine. A commission was issued to the Manning Oil Mill. The capital of the company is $30,000. The peti- J tioners are: J W Norwood of Green* I ville and C R Sprott of Manning. Other Matters. State Superintendent of .Education Sweanngen will deliver an address to-morrow at the educational rally at Aiken. The rally to be held at that place is expected to be one of the most successful to be held during the summer, as great interest has been aroused. The speakers to be heard are: Miss Marie Cromer, J E Sweariugeu, Dr E L Hughes of Greenville; Mrs Mary Nance Daniel, the Hon C W Garris, J C Gardener and Dr R P Pell. The superintendent will go to Laureus on Wednesday to attend the educational rally at that place,which was postponed on account of inclement weather several weeks ago. He! will speak at Pelzer on Wednesday night. , Aid Given Wkak Schools. Since tlie lirst of the mouth State Superintendent of Education Sweariugen has paid out over $6,000 to the weak schools of the State making application of the fund appropriated bv the Legislature for that pur pose. Approximately $7,000 wa3 paid during the spring. The Legislature appropriated $20,000 for aid to the weak schools of the State, and there is only about $5,000 of this left for distribution. There are applications for over $2,500 in the office of Mr Sweariugen to be acted upon. The amounts paid out range from $10 to $100 to each school. The counties in which the most mone1-^^ been distributed are: Jlorr) oalud?,LaureD8 and Pickens. The amount appropriated by the Legislature annually for the weak schools of the State is very small, and it is the hope of mauy that the appropiiation will be increased to at least $50,000 at the next session of the Legislature. This would mean a great improvement in the schools. A resolution favoring the increase of the appropriation was passed at the conference of the county superintendents of education held in Spartanburg several weeks ago, and also at a meeting of the school trustees of Spartanburg county. Ten Doctors Said He Would Die "In 1903 we wrote you regarding my husband, who was suffering from heart trouble. He was superanuated by the North rionrfTion PnnfcrMirp Tf?n doc tors at different times said he would die. You advised Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy and Restorative Nervine; we did as advised, and improvement was apparent from the very first. He recovered and the Conference in 1904 gave him a charge. He never felt better, although he has very heavy work and does a great deal of c; -?p meeting work. I am so g?r. we took your advice and gav* him the medicine, and feel that I ought to let you know of the wonderful good results from its use." MRS. T. S. EDWARDS, Milner, Ga. This proves what Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy will do. Get a bottle from your druggist and take it according to uirctuuiis. It does not matter whether your heart is merely weak, or you have organic trouble, if it does not benefit you take the empty bottle to your druggist and get your money back.
