'resident and Secretary of North Car olina Synod Hail Fron New berry. At the meeting of the North Caro lina Lutheran Synod last week, Rev. M. M. Kinard was chosen president, and Rev. H. A. McCullough secretary -both natives of Newberry. Speak ing :f these gentiemen, the Wilming ton Star says: Rev. M. M. Kinard, Ph. D., the pres idcnt of the Lutheran Synod, is a na tive of Newberry, S. C. He received hi:s literary education in the schoois of Newberry, the University of South Carolina and his Theological educa tion in the Seminary at Charleston and that in Gettysburg, Penn. He spent 16 years of his life as a minister in South Carolina. three years in renn essee, during a pastorate in Knox ville, coming from that city to Salis bury. He has been pastor of St. Jhns church in Salisbury for four yearr, and under his leadership that charch has made rapid progress along all lines of work. Dr. Kinard is a cultured gentieian and a close student. He is also an able preacher and pastor, possessing a personality of uplifting influence. He is one of the ablest men in the synod, and his leadership will no doubt prove of great value to the body. Rev. H. A. McCullough, who has been elected secretary of the synod for the fourth time., consecutively, is easily one of the strongest men in the synod, and one whose influence is felt largely for good along every line of the work of the advancement of the church. He, also, is a native of New berry , S. C. His literary education was secured at the seminary in Char leston. He has held four pastorates. one in Concord, N. C., another in Orangeburg, S. C., another in Mount Pleasant. S. C.. and is at presenft pas tor in Albermarle where he has be&n for four years. As a secretary he is painstakig and accurate and although he is doing the work of a busy pastor, he finds time to look after the de-tail work f the synod. The standard of Mr. Mc Cull-ough's Christian life is high, and as preacher, pastor and secretary, he is conscientious and true. 00MMENCE WORK ON ASYLUM.

YW Scruggs Makes Affidavit of Mild ly Sensational Nature. Columbia, May 11.-Secretary B. Frank Kelley, of the State dispensary coImission, stated this evening that very probably an announcement of the -commission's decision in the Carolina -Glass company's petition will be made at the next sitting of the commrission, which will be Monday. The commnis sion will attend to several important matters at that time. The Carolina Glass company has made a strong showing for a refund of the $21,900 - takea. orer byvorder of the old corn mission from the several county dis pnsari-s. The Glass company is also seeking to have the whole claim re opened. The dispensary commission met here today with all members present. The commission consists of James Stack house, Marion, chairman; B. Frank Kelley, Bishopville, secretary; Thos. F. Brantley, Orangeburg; John V. Wallace, Charleston; Fred. H. Domin ick. Newberry. The commission has not yet em ployed counsel, according to an an nouncement by Secretary Kelley. Mr. Kelley also stated that the Scruggs matter was the only proposition taken up today. He also made the announce ment that the commission has not yet replied to the last letter from the Felder firm. In the Scruggs matter the commis sion heard only the ex,parte testimony from the claimant. The commission called upon its secretary to ask At torney General Lyon to attend, but the attorney general was out of the city. The matter will again be taken up at the next sitting of thie commission. Scruggs Springs Sensation. Columbia, May 11.-Another sensa tion in the dispensary situation was revealed today in a hearing before the new dispensary commission. S. W. Scruggs, of Spartanburg, through counsel, is seeking to secure about $3, 000. a balance he alleges is due him for work done during the old dispen sary commission's regime for Attor ney General Lyon. Scruggs claims that he has already been paid $1,000 for the services he rendered, and he is seeking to secure the balance now from the dispensary commission. What makes the claim of a sensation al nature is the class or woric tlat Scruggs says that he did. It will be recalled that G. H. Charles, the former clerk for the old State dis pensary directorate, was said to have given up valuable information to At torney General Lyon to aid him in his prosecution of the dispensary graft cases. When Attorney General Lyon wished to get Charles, the ex-clerk was out West; it was in the chase for Charles that Scruggs claims he did his work. It was he, according to the af fidavits filed here, that could accom plish the work of bringing Charles back to South Carolina. There is the claim that it ways necessary for him to pay for the support of Charles and his family in order to keep the former dispensary clerk in this State. Many are the sensational rumors of the movement of Charles during the days Attorney General Trvon was making efforts to secure information with re gard to the old dispensary dealings. Scruggs claims that he rendered a val uable service in his handling of "Lody" Charles, as the young clerk was known in dispensary days. Charles was to have testified in the "Hub" Evans ease at Newberry, but information of his death reached here shortly before the trial. BYRNES HAS THE iWUfPS.
