Big Flurry Id Cotton. A telegram received by Yorkville ? n anrnaan o r? _ COllUU KJU6U x uuiouaj anciuuvuj ?unounced the failure of the well-known house of Price, McCormick & Co., of New York. Yesterday morning's papers contained further particulars. For several months past this house has been virtually controlling the market on the bull side. Rapidly breaking y prices, caused largely by favorable crop reports from the south, precipitated the crisis. The liabilities of the concern are estimated at $13,000,000, most of which is said to be secured. As the result of the failure, May contracts broke 78 points down to 8.48, a decline of 120 points from high water mark. The failed firm had branch bouses in about 30 cities. The Dispeusary School Fund. The comptroller general has apportioned dispensary funds under the law providing that each school district be entitled to an aggregate of $75 for each school. York county gets $109.02. Horry gets $2,217,34. The law under which this distribution is made is very defective. The apportoinment is without reference toper capita attendance; but only with reference to the number of schools. For instance, if a district should have a dozen schools and be entitled to only ?100 from the regular school fund, under this law it would be entitled to $800 additional from tbe dispensary fund. In addition to the $109.02 on the deficiency basis, York county is also entitled to the sum of $2,698.95 on the basis of enrollment. This sum has been duly apportioned. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. The State Campaign. The sub-committee of the State Democratic executive committee met in Columbia last Wednesday night and arranged the schedule for the state canvass this summer. The campaign will open at Orangeburg on June 14 and close at Columbia on August 22. York county meeting will be held on Saturday, July 28; the Cherokee meeting on July 30; the Chester meeting, July 26; the Lancaster meeting, July 25. Death of H. C. Patton. Mr. Henry Cowper Patton, of Columbia, died in the Johns' Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, last Tuesday morning as the result of a surgical operation performed about a week before. Mr. Patton was only 36 years of age ; but was generally conceded to be one of the most brilliant young men of the state. He represented Richland county in the constitutional convention and has since been the leader of the Richland delegation in tbe house. He was a law partner of the late Col. J. K. Alston until the death of the latter. He will be remembered particularly on account of his fight against divorce in the coustitutional convention, and later on account of his efforts to secure the redistrictiug of the state along more reasonable and convenient lines. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon and was largely attended. Union Health Board Hot. Says a Union special of Wednesday to The News and Courier: "The board of health resigned in a body at a special meeting Wendesday night. Resolutions were passed denouncing the author of a circular signed by T. C. Duncan, so far as reference is made to the board, as a cowardly and slauderous liar. "Cowardly in that he confessed to each of us that his circular was a bluff, and slanderous in that he sought falsely to injure us for the aggrandizement of his own interest." They charge the governor with failure to co-operate and meet the issue bravely and in a manly way, and denounce Evans for professional discourtesy and practically placing Duncan in charge of the vaccination by shipping vaccine tubes to Duncan. They charge the governor with being more interested in re-election than the enforcement of law and order, and say : "Whereas, we realize Duncan is representing a million and a half dollars incorporated capital, a more potent factor in politics than the board of health." They further charge Duncan with violating the law by interfering with the board of health in the legal discharge of its duties, and in delaying, hindering and interfering with imperative vaccination. The resolutions adopted are lengthy and will create quite a sensation here and in the state at large. MERE-MENTION. The United States supreme court, on Monday, granted leave to the United States to bring original actions against the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana aud Florida in the proceedings to procure settlements with those states.
