'There appearing that there has
bee a very large stock of goods ship
lied to the state dispensary, to the
dunt of several hundred thousand
deflars of high-priced goods-; there be
ing no sufficient storage room for
*m. thus exposing a large amount
qkjsAid goods to the. weather; goods
iat -there is very little. sale for and
iAt would probably take years to
dispose of at the price, and it appear
in gthat there is no legal record of the
purchase, or that same was not or
dered shipped in accordance with law,
the clerk is hereby instructed to no
tik the members of the old board

in the event that it was not purchased
by the entire board and ordered in as
*-hue law requires, and if we are so ad
vised by our attorney, that the ship
pers gf these goods be notified that
these goods are here subject to their
orders, and same must be removed at
once; it being the intention of the

diape without entering our protest.
'And the clerk is instructed to pub
lish the amount of goods, item by
item, the quality and price of ea'eh,
and total the amount of each brand,
so that the people of the state can,

directors, so that they can report the
matter to the governor for his consid

'with these instructions will be dealt
with as provided by law, it being the
intention of this board to see, so far
as in - their power, that the law is
tritl compnied with.
The commissioner is hereby in

1 PREPARING FOR CAMPAIGN.
Gen. Wilie Jones Announces Dates
for Meeting of Clubs.
The Columbia State says Gen. Wilie
Jones, chairman of the state demo
cratic executive committee, stated
yesterday that the campaign inci
dent to the party primaries will soon
commence. He expects to call the ex
ecutive committee together about the
4th of April in order to take up any
matters which may -require the atten
tion of the committee before the meet
ing of the democratic clubs.
The meeting of the clubs will be
held on the last Saturday in April,
the 28th, and the county conventions,
made up of delegates selected at the
club meetings, will assemble on the
7th of May to elect delegates to the
state convention, a county executive
committee and a member from each
county to the state democratic exec
tive committee. On account of the
lack of. factionalism in the last few
years there has not been much inter
est in organizing party machinery,
but it is probable that there will be
more care observed than usual in se
lecting officers of the party for the
next two years.
The -state democratic convention
will be held on the 16th of May, that
being the third Tuesday. It is not
known what matters will come before
the convention this year. After the
meeting of the convention the new
state executive committee will make
arrangements for the state campaign
along lines decided upon in the con
vention. The itinerary will be map
ped out by the executive committee.
The party constitution says that
there shall be one or more clubs in
each ward or township and that the
clubs shall meet oni the fourth Satur
day in April in state election years,
the county conventions the first Mon
day in May and the state convention
the third Wednesday in May.
The qualifications for voting in the
state primaries are that the person
who desires to vote must have been a
resident of the state 12 months and
of the' county 60 days, who must
pledge himself to abide by the result
of the primaries, and his name must
be on the club lists at least five days
before the first primary.
SOUTH CAROLINA UNIVERSITY.
'Work Incident to the Change from
College to University-Law De
partment Completed by Elec
ting Mr. 3. P. Thomas, Jr.
Columbia, March 8.-The board of
trustees of the University of South
Carolina, after a .two days' session,
adjourned this afternoon.
A great deal of routine work was
transaeted in connection with the
change from college to ,university.
h.Merely the preliminary steps have
thus. far been taken, no radical
changes being initiated.
A number of minor details were
agreed upon, among them being the
suggestion that hereafter the di
plomas of the University be in Eng
lish. instead 'of* in Latin, as they were
during the life of the 'college. Yes
fterday the board elected Jrof. Hern
.otMoore to a professorship in the
law departmerit; Col. Joseph Daniel
Pope was,of course, retained. Today
Ion the fifteenth ballot Mr. John P.
IThomas, Jr., was elected to the new
position of professor in the law de
partment. This will give the law de
partment a team of three first-class
professors, and will place the law de
partment of the South Carolina uni
versity on a high plane.
The board had no formal applica
tions for the new professorship in the
law department, but members of the
Iboard suggested various names and
voted for their preferences. Under~
Ithe rule of the board it requires a ma
jority of all the members to result in
an election, and*'the board voted for
some of the strongest lawyers in the!
state.
'Mr. Thomas is recognized as a!
strong and able lawyer and one who
is well adapted to the work he is to
Iundertake. He is to make his work at
the University of South Carolina his!
primary obligation, but is not expect
ed to lose all touch with his active
profession. Mr. Thomas is the senior
member of thie firm of Thomas &
IThomas, and for many years was a
member of the firm of Abney & Thom
as. It is to Mr. Thomas' liking to en
gage in university work, he having
reached that age and that fortune in:
the world's goods that he can under-*
take such pleasant work witJa energy
and enthusiasm. Mr. Thomas will be
actively connected with the law de
partment at the nexi session.
There has been some discussion
about the order of the hoard at its
previous meeting prohibiting the stu
dents engaging in inter-collegiate foot
ball. This morning a committee of
the Alumni association, consisting of
President Edwin G. Seibles, H. N.
Edmunds, Mayor T. Hasel Gibbes and
Christie Benet, appeared before the
board and argued strongly in favor of
foot ball. The spokesman presented
good arguments in favor of foot ball
as a general proposition and of its
value in the development of the stu
dent spirit and the man. The board
appreciated the interest of the com
mittee and of its alumni, but declined
to reconsider its action at this time.
This leaves the ban on foot ball and
the board does not appear to be ready
to reopen the issue so soon after a
positive stand has been taken.
The members of the board have re
ceived a number of congratulations
because of the selection of Superin
tendent W. H. Hand as a professor in
conection with the department of ped
agogics. The board requested Presi
dent Benjamin Sloan to attend the ex
ercises incident to the installation of
President Duncan, of Houston, as
president of the University of Texas.
President Duncan is an alumnus of
the South Carolina college.
The board adopted a resolution
with regard to completing the file of
newspapers in the archives of the Uni
versity of South Carolina, and to com
plete the list of publications bearing
on South Carolina history. A special
committee, consisting of Mr. August
Kohn, on the part of the board, and
Profs. Yates Snowden and E. L.
Green, was appointed. Persons $av
ing newspaper files or books bearing
on the history of this state are asked
to communicate with this -committee.
Governor Heyward, Superintendent
Martin and Messrs. Spencer, James Q.
Davis, John J. McMahan, Robert P.
Hamer, Jr., W. T. C. Bates and
August Kohn attended the meetings
of the board. Three members of the
board were unable to be-present.
The trolley car wa's crowded, a
number of passengers finding preea
rions foothold upori the running
board. It had proceeded quite a dis
tance before the conductor could comn
plete his fare collecting round. Sud
denly a woman caught hold of his
arm and cried excitedly:
"Conductor, a man has fallen off
the ear!''
"I know it ma 'am,'' was tbe cool
reply. "I hadn't got h-is fare. Some
folks will go to any length to beat the
company!''
