State and General 2?ev-s. j ( Seven people were killed and a { dozen seriously injured when a pas- j senger train and electric car collided i at Toledo, Ohio, on Saturday night, j Charles V.Hammond, aged 15years, i died in Spartangurg on Saturday as a j result of a wound received about 10 j days ago, by the accidental discharge of a parlor rifle, which was in the 1 | hands of his companion, John Mont- i ffomerv. about the same ao-e. The shooting was purely accidental. Spartanburg was visited .by a severe storm Saturday morning about two o'clock, which blew down tops of chimneys, telephone poles, wires were broken and twisted, and window panes in residences and office huildings smashed. The wind reached a velocity of 35 miles an hour. Mrs. Dora McDonald, who has been on trial at Chicago since January 20th., on the charge of murdering Webster Guerin, was acquitted on Wednesday. Fred Wigel, an actor, shot and instantly killed his wife, and then committed suicide at a boarding house at Cleveland, Ohio, on Wednesday. The couple had been separated for three vears until about a week before the i tragedy. It is supposed a quarrel caused the double killing. Two men, one dressed ;in United States uniform, committed suicide by jumping from a steamer at Newport, , R. I., on Saturdajr. The bodies are i still missing. The young man in the l uniform was a son of Congressman 1 Halvor Steenerson, of Minnessota. : As the result of a quarrel over the payment of $2,500, J. F. Wider, a ] wealthy saw mill operator, president 1 of the Mississippi Pine Association and one of the most prominent lumber men in the South, shot and killed W. h. Booth, a large real estate dealer of Dallas Texas, on Saturday. The tragedy occurred at Epps Station, Miss. ' Burglars entered the store of the 1 Piedmont Drug Co., at Piedmont, on Friday night and secured 18 watches. 1 They secured entrance by breaking out the large glass windows in the ' front. No clue as to their identity is known. Three negro delegates were barred 1 from the Immigration Convention, which was held at Tampa, Fla., on Thursday. They were refused seats 1 and asked to retire. The delegations from South Carolina, Georgia, Tennesse and Virginia objected to their presence. Commissioner E. J. Watson and Secretary of State R. M. McCown, of this State, were delegates. C. A. Steed, alleged to have been a " divorce swindler" and who has been operating his schemes in Anderson county, was tried on Friday before a magistrate and sentenced to pay fines amounting to $300 or serve three months on the gang. Steed secured money from three women upon the promise that he would get a divorce for them in Florida. iquors Made I DISPEN * ing May 3rd, INVOICE PRICE. ~i i i i n fv * 2 a J5 . di S | -3 0? ?

Lybrand, born Nov. 30. 1824, and died Feb. 9 190S, aged 83 years, 2 months and 9 days. She was married to Emanuel I. Lybrand Nov. 30 1854. To them were born one son, and two daughters. She leaves three children, one biother and lifteen grand-children to mourn her death, besides a host of other relatives and friends. She was a member of the Methodist church, and we trust that she had that living faith in her Saviour that bears the weary soul from earthly boils and sorrows to that rest that remaii^eth for the people of God. Her remains were laid to rest beside ber husband's, in St. David's cemetery, near Lexington. J. A. C. Prom Kims, Florida. To the Editor of The Dispatch: We are having fine weather now.

By a vote of 27 to 6 the Senate 011 YYednesday passed Mr. Christensen's bill, carrying an appropriation of 815,000 with which to prosecute the alleged dispensary grafters. It is indeed worth noting that the Senator from Lexington opposed the measure upon the ground that the Attorney General is the proper person to conduct these cases in as much as he receives a salary for that purpose, and if assistance is needed ten Solicitors, stand ready to aid in the work. Senator Blease took the same sensible view. However, the bili passed and reads as follows: "Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina: "Sec. 1. That the sum of $15,000, if so much be necessary, be, and is hereby, appropriated to meet the expenses of any criminal prosecutions j that have been or may be commenced against any person or persons charged with violation of the law in any manner connected with the late institution called the State dispensary, including expenses of associate counsel and such other expenses as may be incident thereto: Provided, That the attorney general shall not employ any member of the general assembly to assist in the prosecution of these I cases. "Sec. 2. That the said sum of ?15,000 shall be paid into the State treasury by the State dispensary commission out of any funds in its hands, arising from the business or property of the State dispensary, and the same shall be paid out by the State treasurer upon the warrant of the attorney general. "Sec. 3. That this act shall take effect immediately upon its approval by the governor." Notes From Finey Woods. To the Editor of The Dispatch: Small grain has been damaged by the recent severe weather. Log-rollings and house coverings are now in order and we enjoy eating the big dinners prepared for the occasion. Mr. Editor, you ought to come over one spring and help us; I know you would enjoy it. Mr. John Huffstefcter moved from among us last week, to Mr. M. L. Wheeler's place. We regret to lose John, for he is a clever gentlemen. Mr. Paul Fulmer will soon erect a handsome dwelling at Chapin. The farmers in this section are still holding to their cotton for 15 cents. The Chapin Home Journal is now published every Friday by Mr. James J. Morris & Sons. The Macedonia school is progressing nicely with Miss Anna Derrick as principal. Mr. M. P. Lindler is the faithful teacher of the Pine Ridge school. Feb. 17.
