00ailstoer w.ugbuian , 5lin Why the Board IffIt-oepo , Columbia Really Want iord ing Train?. The following is from the Columbia Evening Record of last Thursday. Tie Herald and News stated last Friday that the change of schedule was held up for the present at least. Of course the apathy and indiffer ence of businessmen of Columbia is a little queer. We shall yet get the change even if it is held up tempora rily: That the proposed change of sched ule has not been put into effect on the C. and 0. line of the Southern, look ing to an afternoon train out of Co lumbia to the up-country so as to give people liviig along the line op portunity to come to Columbia in the morning and get back the same day, is due in a measure to apathy on the part of Columbia. The chamber of commerce has so far taken no action, which causes the commission to won (er whether Columbia is so anxious for the change. At the recent conference before the commission, at which Superintendent Williams. Assist. Gen. Pass. Agent Brooks Morgan and Div. Pass. Agt. I. W. Hunt were present, the railroad peolple agreed to recommend the cliaige, and Imembers of the commis siol were told in Washington recent ly by I'assenger Trafe . Maimager HIanlwiek that he ' 'would figure on the ehange if the commission was sure it desired it.'' Mr. Hardwick was told that the commission was in 11o way hesitant. " But, to be perfectly frank, we don't like to be rash about this mat ter.'' siid Commissioner Caighiman todaY. "AWe feel a bit 1uhious about orderimg the Alne so lmnr as there is donbt about it being desired. Co 1umil, tlel principal town interested, hias iot asked for the change. We have heard noting from the elamber of comnmeree. Anitd Greenville is man ifesting little interest, and Green wood aid Abbeville are openly op jp~sin. or appear. to be. From Chap pells down this way the sentimenti 8 timanimous. However, when Mr. Wharton comes in tomorrow to make Ip a majority of the board, a letter will be seit to Messrs. Williams, Hunt and Morgan asking them why the change has not beenl made.'' Still Another Ohance Neglected. Postmaster nsor says that he has full nuthority now to sedIil mail up the C. N. & Lj. road as far as L (aurens on that company's trainl, leaving here at 5 p. In., 1111d that tile delay is bausedi by ile railrod people liaving no mail Car to handle the business. President Childs, of tile road, said today that the delay is not altogether due to thle Iack of a car, but is part ly chie to thle facet thait he has not yet received thle tlhial order from the gov e'rmnieiit. lie says hie is having a ear fitted imp for this service, but that ueareity of material is responsib)le for the fact that it haus no(t been gotten readyV. At thle recent dlirectors meeting of tIhe chamber of commerce the presi dent was authorized to app)loint a coim mnit tee to look into the needs of the city along this line. But nothing furt her has been heard from this Action Now Important. It is a rich Itrading section Colum ia is neglecting in t hat direction at a time it hams an opportunty of seiz-< nig ani advantage. And apathy nowv may also spoil the op)portuniity Ce-I lumbia has in another direction. A conference is to be held at Marion next Thmursshay regarding the p)ropost-I tion to puittinig on a morning train into Colunihia from the Pee Dee see tion. Columbia is growving rapidly and the need for mail facilities on the afternoon train leaving here at 3:10 * for Charlot to and on the 5 p. m. train for Augusta- is becoming (daily more pressing. To Appoint Committee Tomorrow. President Clark said today that lie had not yet appointed a committee to look into mail facilities, but would do so tomnorrowv. Hie is waiting for sug gestionis regarding the personnel of the committee from Secretary Clark, who has been very busy for the past two days with the Shriners. Why Bill Diamond is Bald. In the ofiee of the Gairden Hotel, New Haven, Connecticut, one day recently, a drummer who was blessed with a good head of hair said to Bill Diamond, the well known night clerk, who is yery bald: "Say, Bill, what * aaltas you do bald-headedt" Bill, wio is noted for his quick wvit, ~re plied: "Well, you see, in these stnus times the head is. no place ) 6r hair; it is-the place for new ideas. That's the reason Ihave no hair.'' Promptly ''Tatodoy might, Mr. A. J. 8. Lanford gavein' marriage his daughter, Clara to Robert Herman Wright. The bride was gowned in white messeline built over taffeta with a real lace yoke. The skirt was papel led with hand made-roses. Her veil was crowned with a wreath of natur al oragne blossoms. Her only orna ment was a diamond and pearl cres cent, a gift of the groom. The church was beautifully decorated. The ef fect of the white and gren was made more pronounced by the brilliancy of many electric lights and candles. While Mrs. J. W. Haltiwanger played a very appropriate selection on the organ, the usshers, Messrs, Fellers, Walace, Gilder and John stone followed by the bridesmaids, Misses Houseal, Griffin, Peal Lang ford, Schumpert and Holloway and the bride's sister, Miss Langford as maid of honor and the groomsmen, Messrs. Eskridge, Renwick, McFall, Mays, Haskell Wright and Mr. Z. F. Wright, the brother of the groom as the best man. The bride entered with her father and was met by the groom and his best man at the chan eel where they were betrothed with the ring service. Immediately after the ceremony an elaborate reception was given them it the home of the bride's parents. The color scheme thixoughout the house was white and green. Especial ly jkoticVable were the elaborate dec rations ill the dining room. The bride's table was a work of art. Ropes of tulle were suspended from the chandelier to each corner of the table. In the center of the table wias ill enbankinent of bride's roses and natural orange blossoms. Candles in rofeusion adde.d greatly to the bril iancy of the table. IIn the euting of the bride's cake, Ur. Mayes found the (lime, Mr. Wright the ring, Miss Griffin the himble, and the maid of honor, the hrce cent piece. Th1e presents were numerous and !ostly. Amid a shower of rice the >ride and groom left at midnight for lie home of the groom. Forced to Vacate Building. Copeland Bros. the popular dry goods and clothing merchants must acate at an early date the building hey now ocoupy. They will tomorrow ninaugurate a monster sale. In tpeaking (f the sale a member of the rirm said: '' We had no idea that we would oose our recent law suit and would lave to vacate this building . We vore so confident we would win the uit that we not only had,not look d for other quarters but bought an nmm1enlse stock of goods for this sea on. It is certainly a case of hard uek that right in the height of the cason we must vacate and not a umilding in the city to hold over half four stock. There was only one hing that we could (10 and that is to brow our stock on the market at a ;aerifice andl standl the losa. WVe avie 'enlgagedl the services of H. L. lihanore & Co., of New York, expert ale conductors, who have conducted he largest sales ever conducted in his country to conduct our sale as ve are dleterminedl to close out the liggest p)art of the stock in this sale.'' Mr. Gilmnore has the following to ay: ''Copoland flros. have brought is here to conduct their Forced Sale. t is too bad they could not hold thne nuilding until the season was over. It ertainly meana a big loss to the firm. Ye will conduct this sale on the same incs we conduct sales in the -larger itiesi We have coryducted sales in lmodf every city in this states We ave been, in this business nearly 10) rears and our experience has taught as that you can turn merchandise into ash if you put on .the right price, rou can say to your readers that they vill witness the,. biggest mercantile wvent that has ever oceured since 'lewherry was a baby. We will be a little crowded for room ait first as ho stock is immense, but will try md have 50 to 75 clerks oni the floor :0 wait oni the p)ublie.'' They hnave a very large stock and for several (lays an extra force of sterks has been at wvork arranging, the stock and marking the goods. Byverythning goes. SALESMAN WANTED.

Norfolk, Va., April 16.-tOi the 13th day of May, 1907, on the'Waters of Hampton Roads and on tq shorei in Norfolk county, the three hun dredth anniversary of the- 4fWst per manent settlement of Engl1#speak ing people in America will'be memo rialized by the Jamestown Eip6sition. This date will be Jamesto*n Day. There were Spanish settlers iq Amer ica before Jamestown, and the 4rench had established some villages along the Canadian coast, but the palisades' on Powhatan's river which were nam ed after the reigning monarch of Eng land formed the first village;in the western world where English ivas spo ken. The descendants of the original set tIers- are scattered throughout the United States. Recently when the Daughters of the American Revolution visited Jamestown tIsland, it was found that not less thin fifteen visiting members of the society traced their ancestry directly to some inhabitant of Janies town. The Exposition management have discovered many Jamestowners and have invited them to participate in the celebration on the 13th day of May. Recently it has been suggested that inhabitants of other Jamestowns and descendants of past inhabitants should be included in the general in vitation, andj ramifying this thought. take in the people of all the cities named after James the First. The Postal Guide of the United 1 States gives Jamestowns in the fol lowing states: Alabama, Arkansas. California, Colorado, Georgia, Illi nois, Indiana, Iowa. Kansas, Ken tucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri. New York, North Carolina, North Da kota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is land, Tennessee and Wisconsin, be sides Virginia's settlement. Three of these Jamestowns are county seats: one the capital of Rus sell county, Kentucky; another of Stutsman county, North Dakota; and the third of Fentress county, Tennes see. Jamestown, New York, is the larg est of the coterie with a population of about 23,000; Virginia is the smallest, having only ten inhabitants. There are seven postoffiees called James, three Jamesburgs, one Jameq City, one James Creek, one James Is land, two Jamesports, one James Riv pr, one James' Store, five Jamesvilles. Both of the Jamesports are fairly sizeable places and three of the Jamesvilles have money order s.tations and are places of considerable conse-. quence. Twenty-five states have within their bordlers one or more towns named after James the First, wvho, if he could return to earth, would p)robahbly per petrate some wonderful epigram on the subject, since while living lie was known as ''the wvisest fool in Christ OPPOSITION WILL ORGANIZE. Preparing JEr Campaign .Against Dispensary-Meeting' Held In Columbia Last Week. The folloWI'is from the State of last Friday: ''A meeting' of opponents of the state dispensary system was held here tonight, at,.which it was deeided to Inaugurate a campaign- against the system, and to see to it that a fight is made in every county.'' The above statement wvas given to the press last inight by Rev. L. J. Bristow, of Greenwood, at the conclu: sion of a conference which had lasted for several ho.,r. It is apparents froin the statement That more will be heard from the meeting later, and that the purpose is to organize for a fight against the dispensary all along -the line. While Mr. Bristow is .wvell known as a p)rohiibitionist, there were a num ber pres,ent who are not prohibition ists but several' of them have been identified with the; fights against the dispensary In the. various counties under the Brice law. The author of that law, Senator J. S. Biie/of York, was present and among the -others wvere : Rev. D.. W. Hiott, who led the figlht in Pickens; Mr. D. R. Coker of Hlartsville, who was prominent in -t Dari-igtodi election against the dis~ penisaryr; Serlator WE L. Mauldin anl Mr. Joseph .4 1McCullough of Greef vilo PMr, 3. 0.

The figures are of the ;ales to dispensary, the invoice price -not the prices to the consumer, 6vhich are considerably higher. ' TheY ;how a falling off for the new year >f $136.822, which is- surprisingly amall. A third of the state has voted the dispensaries out, but the falling >ff in business amounts -to less;thali i fifth. and Mr.7Tatum says that the -ales this year would have been $500,. 300 he.vier had the stock not beer ;hort in a nuraber of important par. ticulars the first part of the yeai before the new board took charge. The sales for, January. Februlr. ind March of last year amonuted tc 712,784.91, as against $575,962.51 for the same time this year. Hert is a comparison by months for tht two periods: January. - 1905. 1906. Whiskey . $227,563.18 $197,469.8 Beer.- . . 15,576.10 15,567.6 - $2431,139.21 $213.037.4 February.

Commissioner Tatum has issued at order of far-reaching importance t the inspectors under him, which .i. desi.-ned to give a thorough checkinj up of "aispensers each time an inspee tor comes around, and in a short tim Mr. Tatum expects to get a system go ing whereby these ins'pections will oe. cur regularly with each dispenser it the state once a month. Mr. Tatur realizes that an inspector is an audi tor, and he is now requiring such v checking up as will put the inspectoi in position to swear to every item it his report and to report as a whole Not only must the entire stock bi checked over, but th6 bank books aj well. ''At one time,'' said an ex-inspee t.pr-today, ''inspectors had a habit it a nutnber of places of leisurely strol ling into a dispensary and having th disienser copy his last stock shee for a report of inspection. Twice a much time is required to check' ul a dispensary now'' From what has been published in numbiler of papers recently the inmpres si'on lias gone out that the inspectior force has been inacreased. Such il not the case. Two tnew inspectors hav< been added in the persons ,of P. - B3 Callison, of Greenwood, and Willian Lamanr, of Columbia, but Inspecto1 WV. J. McCartha 's resigtnation tool effect the first of this month -atnd tha of A. H. Dean takes effect the firs of neoxt month. In other words th first of May will find the same in spection force of four, Messrs. R1. W Nichols, of Laurens; and M.,W. Floyd of S-partanburg, being the other. WI4 membeih of the force. As a matter o: fact, the -force has been reduced sined last year. J. L. Thoerp, who last yea1 served as -an inspector, has 1this -yea1 been transferred to the bookkeepinj department. And there are three les: men in the clerical department this y<iar were serving there the same timi last year. * Utopia Dots. Mtrs.

Thompson has an nounced that he would not be in the race for adjutant general to succeed Gen. John D. Frost, who will also re tire from politics. Col. Thompson hiar decided to devote his entire tiiie to his insurance business. He is a thor oug1h military mian with a splendid re-' cord and there is regret expressed that he cannot enter the race. Col. Thompson was conimander of the see onid regiment -that went, from this state to Cuba.' His retirement from L ,he ral-e leaves the field to Col. J. C. Boyd, Lieut. Col. Lewis W. Haskell, - Major Charles Newina and former Assistant Adjutant General W. Bruce. . Mr. 'Malone Explains About 1iano. Referring to Mr. Lyon's letter the State of last Tuesday, says: ''Mr. M. A. Malone, from whom Senator Tillman said in his interview , published in the State yesterday that lie purchased the piano alluded to in Mr. Lyon's letter, was seen yester lay by a representative of this paper and asked if lie could recall the sale* - of the instrument, the amount paid, the person who bought it-and the time of the sale. Mr. Malone had - read the article and unhesitatingly , stated that lie sold the piano to Sen - ator Tillman for $325 and that the i sale was made in 1891, previous to - the establishment of the dispensary. ) Mr. Malone said that he recalled the I sale because it was soon after Sena tor Tillman, then governor, went into - offiee and lie had not long moved to I this city to occupy the executive man - sion. Furthermore, the amount paid for the piano was a special concession made because, as Mr. Malone stated, 1he thought the sale would enable him to dispose of other pianos. ''Yes, sir,'' said Mr. Malone, ''it was a fair and square deal and there was no question of graft. Immediate ly after moving into the mansion Gov. Tillman, with Mrs. Tillman, came to my store and looked at the pianos. They rented one for the purpose of keeping it unitil they had tried it. "This instrument they decided to buy and it was the onie for which lie paid me the amount stated. He never bought any other piano from me.'' 1*lad Tidings Fromn A Friend.

Too Mich For the Postmaster. -kcton Eagle. In the little village of G-,.on the South Shore, a postoffice was estab ished some twenty years ago. The postmaster appointed was old Capt. 'Bill'" Thomas, whose qualifications for* the position were a credited knowlQdge of the three R's and his wnership of the local store. He wYfas very proud of his new position, )ut felt the responsibilities keenly. A summer resident one day having ccasion to send a pbstal eayd writ ten in Frenech to a friend in Paris was surprised to see the postmaster take it and, adjnsting his spectacles, attempted to read it. Being iniable to do so, lie turned rather .shiarply to the sender and asked* if the postal wvas ''all right." The gentleman rather indignantly replied: ''Why! What do you niean?'' ''Well, you' see,'' said the captain, ''I .ain't able to read it very well, being written in sorpe foreign tongue so I'll have to take you~r wvord for it.
