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should not be published, as there was I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.
