DISPENSARY FUNDS MOVED $150,000 Taken From Columbia Banks And Deposited Elsewhere. Greenville, June 22.-The dispen sary commission has taken some of the dispensary funds from the banks in Columbia. and have placed them -with other banks throughout the State. This was done at the last ses sion of the commission. This morning in an interview with a representative of the News and Courier, Mr. Patton said: "We moved about $150,000 from Columbia banks and redeposited in other banks in the State for the very good reason that Columbia, including the amount in the State treasury, had about $350,000, which is considerably more than half the entire fund. Since they are State, and not Columbia. funds, and since banks in other parts of the State wished it, and were will ing to pay interest and put up the col- I lateral, we felt justified in moving a minoTity of the amount deposited in Columbia. After t'his removal is com pleted Columbia will still have (in eluding the amount in the State treas ury,) more than one-third of the en tire fund, which we still think, is the lion's share. We had reason to be lieve that the banks of Columbia, or a part of them, did not want the funds since they regarded it a bur den, (while tied up in the United States court,) to the extent that they 1did not want to pay interest on the r funds. If these funds were so bur 'densome to the Columbia banks, while they were tied up with injunctions, we I feel that we ought not to burden them t further since we are at liberty to re move them. There were two deliber ate attempts by some of the banks of Columbia to avoid payment of this in terest, although we had their written agr.eement to do so. An officer of the Loan and Exchange bank made an I effort to get the banks of Grenville; holding these funds to join them in an! effort to avoid the payment of this in terest, which the banks here flatly refused to do. "I notice in the morning papers I that Dr. Murray refused to allow the resolution passed by the commission'! on Saturday to remove these funds published. I see no reason why it 1 should not be published, as there was I no secret about it.'' Twenty-five ' thousand dollars will be brought to the Greenville banks, divide~d between the Norwood Nation al, the Farmers and Merchants, and : the Fourth National ba:nks. The People's Bank and the City National already had deposits. The other banks did not make application for the funds. Greenville will get about $25.000 of t'he funds divided among the banks named above. Spaitanburg, Ander son and the other cities of the. State will receive their share. In Charles ton there is already some of the fund on deposit, and this will not be in creased by this new apportionment,, because of the fact that application! was not made for it. DR. CROMER IN GEORGETOWN. Addresses Large Audience on Liquor Question.-Stronlg Address. Georgetown, June .22.-The prohi bition cohorts are becoming more and more active in this county. Respond ing to a call from prominent citizens, the Hon. George B. Cromer, t'he well known educator and lawyer of New 'berry, addressed gatherings here on Thursday an.d presented the subject in a sane and conservative way, which probably reached many who had stood aloof from the prohibition forces by reason of their extreme views with regard to the liquor ques t.ion. -Mr. Cromer 's speech in the morn ing was delivered in t'he court house at noon, the court, which was in ses sion, having allowed an interim for the purpose of hearing the. distin guished speaker. He was introduced by the Rev. W. H. Hodges in a few appropriate words. At night Mr. Cromer spoke to a much larger gath ering in the big skating rink build mng. No one who heard him on either occasion could have left without be ing influenced strongly in the matter of' prohibition as a help to bette: things in every line of human affairs. He said he was happy to meet the whiskey sellers of Georgetown face to face, for they were such as long as' the dispensary existed in the commun ity. He told of the good results that had come to pass as the result of pro hibition in his county. He said he was in this fight for the good of 'hu manity. No political office could be given him, for, though handed to him on a silver salver; it would have no attraction, whatever. Whiskey i.n its des:rnet,ive work was ever active, cut tinz down here, there and yonder t'he bravest, the strongest. the best. The race question was bad enough in it self, but for the white citizens in Gorgetown and other places to plead wi the poonegro and invite him to biuv rumi is making it a thousand times worse. Prohibition might not be absolutely prohibitive, but it would improve con ditions to a large extent. Where the sentiment is to prohibit, it is entirely practical to prohibit. In Newberry a -convicted blind tiger is sent to the chain gang; in Charleston he is made foreman of the grand jury. Statis ties were submitted from all over the country showing the beneficent ef feets of prohibition. He hoped Georgetown county would wash her self white in the August election. JUDGE WINGARD DEAD. One of Lexington's Foremost Citi zens Goes to His Reward. Lexington. June 22. -Surrounded by his loved ones in his quiet home at 8 o'clock this morning, the Hon. Sim on P. Wingard peacefully passed away. For weeks past his condition has been critical, but few were pre pared for the announcement of his death. Heart trouble is assigned as the cause of death. Judge Wingard has been for many ears prominent in the affairs of the ,ounty, and it is safe to say that no nan 'has ever been held in higher es ;eem. He has 'Iled various offices of ionor and trust, and filled them cred tably. His political career began before he war, when :he was elected sheriff. ['his office he filled for four years. )uring the war he was elected clerk f the court for one term. Soon af er the war he was chosen judge of robate, and this office he filled for bout sixteen years. In 1884, he was lected to the Stat' senate, and serv d with credit to himself and to his ounty, for four years. Retiring from >blie life, he continued to take an etive interest in the affairs of the ounty, and on more than one occa ion has'his wise counsel been sought. Judge Wingard was married in ear e life to Miss Mariah Wingard, his rst cousin, and a woman of many no le traits of character. To them were orn two sons and two daughters. The ollowing children survive: Dr. Jas. J. Vingard, one of the most prominent ;nd popular physicians in the county, Irs. H. L. Oswald, and Miss Mary C. Vingard. Judge Wingard was a member of he Lutheran church, havring joined hen quite young. He was active in ll church works, and many of his ctets will live after him. He was 80 'ears of age on the 23rd of last Feb -nary. He was a Confederate sol ier and fought with valor for t'he :ause which he thought to be right. Funeral services will be conducted Erom St. Stephen's Lutheran church tomorrow morning at 10 o 'clock by the Rev. T. S. Brown, and the inter ment will be i nthe church cemetery. SBABOARD ACQUIRES C. & L. Line Running From Cheraw' to Crowberg Changes Hands. Cheraw, June 21.-Today the Sea board Air Line bought the controlling interest in the Chesterfield and Lan caster railroad. The negotiations were conducted by Judge Watts, general counsel for the Seaboard, through the Bank of Cheraw. There will be no present change .in the local manage ment of the latter road. T'he Chesterfield and Lancaster rail road was constructed in 1901, and runs westward from Cheraw to Crow berg, forty miles away. It pract-ically traverses the best part of Chesterfield eounty, and has, since its construc tion, done a large business. The road was constructed by Messrs. Page, who 9n much more than the controlling tock, the county of Chesterfield own Eng somne, and the small balance by >ut-of-town financiers. The transfer f stock to the Seaboard means much or the country the road traverses, for n all probability t'he rolling stock vill be greatly improved, the roadbed nade much better and the road will >e opersated under the system now in ise on 'je Seaboard. TMe Chesterfield md Lancaster road has for its termi us Crowberg, about thirty miles from Charlotte. It is believed that the road will now be extended to C'harlotte.
