J. Murray and Messrs. John McSween, Avery Patton, J. S. Brioe and A. N. Wood, the Spartanburg Herald j prints a dispatch from its Columbia correspondendeDt which is said to be based on information "from an authoritative source." The dispatch is as follows: "Should Governor Blease attempt to investigate the old dispensary wind1 fj.T. L.* mg-up commission wnn ms new commission the case would be carried to the supreme court. No official statement has been made yet it is known from an authoritative source the okl commission or others that might be summoned to appear would resort to the supreme court as the dispensary investigating act does not give the new commission the right to make such an investigation. "The members of the old dispensary commission desire to be investigated by a legislative committee which was provided for by an act of the last general assembly and which was vetoed by the governor. "Those acquainted wich the law governing the investigating act say that Governor Blease did not have the right to request the new commission to investigate the old commission. The commission can only investigate the affairs cf the old State dispensary. "T. B. Felder, the Atlanta attorney has been inyited to appear before the commission and tell what he knows of the dispensary situation. There is no law to force T. B. Felder to appear. "When Governor Blease commis sioned the new commissioai he said that he had instructed the members to open a court and receive testimony as to the work and affairs of the old commission , He even turned over 'his mountain of testimony' to the commission and asked that they investigate the charges that he made in his special message to the general assembly. "The members of the old commission may petition the general assembly to pass the investigating act over the veto of the governor and give them the privilege of being investigated as demanded by the governor."

Harman was a conspicuous guest of Stone wall Camp United Confederate veterans at a meeting held on Monday, April 3rd. We take the following from the Gainesville Daily Sun of April 4: "M. D. Harman of Lexington, S. C., who is here on a visit to relatives, was an appreciated visitor at tho meeting and was most cordially greeted by members of Stone .vail Camp. Mr. Harman is a msinb?r of a camp in his State and had with him a flag which created no little interest when exhib ited in the court room. Tho flag was j the first sent out by Sjuth Carolina in the Civil War, but is still in excellent state of preservation. It bears the inscription, in black and gold letters: 'Presented by the Ladies of Lexington. Guard This Till Our Country's Free; Guard Ic; God Will Prosper Thee. Saluda Guards, Jan. 11, 1861."

Boozer were he'd from St. Stephen's Lutheran church on Wednesday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, conducted by her pu9tor, the Rey. T. S. Brown, in the presence of a large assemblage of sorrowing relatives and friends.
