Watson has received from Sheriff Buford, of Newberry county, samples of a certain beverage that is being sold in that county under the caption "near beer," but which the officer believes is near enough to count as the real ar ticle; at any rate, its effects on those who imbibe would seem to belie the title. Sheriff Buford wishes the commission to have an analysis of the beverage made with a view to determining just exactly what constituents enter into its composition and whether or not it is being sold in violation of the law. An analysis will be made this morning and a report made to the sheriff. Under the pure food and drug act Commissioner Watson is required to make this analysis and if it should reveal the presence of hurtful ingredients other than alcohol, or if the label is not correct, the department of agrinVkoll fVi a nrAccnntiAn CU1LUX t: Olid 11 LV/UUUVI UUC I. If the percentage of alcohol present is greater than that allowed by law, the sheriff shall prosecute the offenders. The vendors of this drink have been unusually active in Newberry county and it is generally believed there that it differs but slightly, if at all, from the pure malt beverage.?The State. Mr. J. T. Law son, who attempted to open his near-beer saloon in Newberry and who decided to close rather than pay the license imposed by the city, moved last week just beyond the city limits, on the road leading to Mr. - - - - .... S. P. Crotwell and opened in tne store lately occupied by Mr. Ruff. It is understood that he did a very good business and sold several barrels of beer on Saturday. His place was closed on Monday, possibly because the supply had given out. Sheriff Buford is awaiting the re- i ply from Commissioner Watson as to the contents of the stuff that is being sold. The injunction, which was to |' have been heard before Judge Gary j on Monday, at Laurens, has been post-, poned until Friday of this week. Dr. W. C. Stone, from near Batesburg, has located at Dead Fall for the practice of medicine. He is boarding at present with Mr. D. G. Livingston. *DBYS? TO PUT OCT TICKET. National Prohibition Convention Begins Session Wednesday. ? Atlantic City, N. J., July 7.?The National Prohibition convention, withnearly 1,000 delegates in attendance. _ ''l1 /vr?/vr? ir? th-io r>it v Wodnwsdsv "Ill Vpcil All UUiO ^ morning to nominate candidates for president and vice president, and Uiap ' out plans for the fall campaign. The prohibitionists believe that the party is in a strong position to make a bid for national support in November and the convention promises to be one of the most interesting in years. . > <' In addition to the vital question of prohibiting traffic in liquor, the con vention expects to wrestle with the problem of woman suffrage and some form of .the initiative, referendum and recall. Many delegates already are in the city and practically all the members of the national committee are here for the meeting of that body tomorrow. National Chairman Charles R. Joneswill have several opponents when lie comes ud for re-election, one of the most formidable candidates spoken of being W. B. Calderwood, of Minneappolis, secretary of the committee. The race for the presidential nomination appears to be an open one. Eugene W. Chafin, of Illinois and Arizo- * ..:;? na, who headed the party ticket four years ago, is again being urged for the and there isi a decided boom on for his running mate at that time, Aaron S. Watkins, of Ohio. The Minnesota State delegation is coming to the convention instructed for Charles Scanlon, of Pittsburg, general secretary of the Presbyterian tern perance committee. R. H. Patton, of Springfield, 111., is another candidate much talked of. Joshua Leveringj, of Baltimore, the prohibition standard bearer in 1896* and Madison Larkin, of Scranton, Pa., both appear to have an enthusiastic -1| following. Delegates to the prohibition conven tion are apportioned among the States according to the prohibition votes cast at the recent election, a plan attempt- V: ed several times in Republican national conventions as a means of cutting down representation from the Southern States. The total number HolncrytOC is 14.841. VI UV*V.QM.vvw ? -7 The convention this year will adhere to the plan which excited so much comment four years ago, cf keeping the party platform within 400 words. Four years ago the party declared for suffrage based upon intelligence, and, by inference, without regard to sex. Some of the party lead- . ers are said to believe that voman ; suffrage is unscriptural and will fight to keep it out of the platform. ROUTE IS GIVEN TO IT COUNTRY. How to Get Out of Columbia And Try ' For Anderson. The State, 8th. The reporter interviewed the motorist again yesterday. "I observe," said the reporter, "that on account of the local showers many are going out into the suburbs and the country. It's suggestive, at least. Perhaps your road directions have been appreciated, what?" "Perhaps," said the motorist, who had his misgivings about giving advice to tourists, "you'll get me into trouble yet." Well, some motorist, like some ?notors, have mean dispositions, I'll admit, Doc. While others, like youroaif v. o vo fpnerrms diSDOSitionS. Otll UU ' V You'll give us another route, won't you, Doc? Lets have the road, to Anderson." The motorist might have given his opinion of the reporter; but he gave the route instead. Leaving Columbia, cross the Broad river bridge; run thence to Chapin from Chapin to Little Mountain, and on to Prosperity. Proceed from there to Newberry. From Newberry you have the choice of two routes. The first is the choicest; which is to Clinton, to Laurens, to Honea Path, Belton and so on to Anderson. The other is hv wav of Greenwood, thence to Honea Path, Belton, and Anderson. The total mileage for the trip approximates 125 miles; and the roads lead through good country.
