Gov't Report EE.V PURE I A Long Felt Want SuppliedFor sometime past it has been apparent that either the enlargement St. Stephen Cemetery or the purchase of a new burial ground would have to be made. This necessity v- a?occasioned not so by an increased mortuary asby the large increase'jn the population during the past few years, the squares in the cemetery having been taken by the older inhabitants. To meet this requirement the church authorities, acting jointly with the town council, decided to purcnase an eligible site specially adapted to this purpose. Such a place has been found in the eastern suburbs comprising about four acres belonging to Sam D.eher. Negotiations were at once entered into and the purchase of the property soon followed. Thus another silent city of the dead has been founded. The trustees are: Messrs. W. P. Roof, J. A. Muller, James P. Meetze. Attention, Washerwomen.

So Governor Evans Informs County Dispensers. Columbia Register. A great many complaints have been made all over the State recently to the effect that some of the.county dispensers were violating their oaths in selling liquor indiscriminately. These reports have reached the ears of Governor Evans and he at once took steps to have the evil remedied. Each dispenser has written instructions as to the manner of conducting sales, and put themselves in a fair way of removal when going contrary to orders. Yesterday Governor Evans, as chairman of the State Board of Control, sent the following letter to each of the county dispen:ers: You are hereby notified that you are required to comply strictly with the provisions of the Dispensary law relating to your duties, See.

I i quors must not be sold on written orders from persons residing in counties where a Dispensary is lo cated, unless the handwriting is known to the dispenser and is attested by him, or the person present ing the order will subsciibe the name of the party taking the order to the request as agent. All other provisions of the law must also be complied with. Any failure to observe your oath or the provisions of the Dispensary law will ^ork the forfeiture of your permit.
