Dispensary Investigators In Columbia

Witnesses Will Be.
Columbia, July 6.?The dispensary
investigating committee had 6et Mon^
day, July 8th, to go to Augusta to ex*
amine Thos. B. Felder, the Atlanta
attorney, but the examination has
been postponed until a later date in
the week, according to announcement
from Bennettsville by J. J. Evans, the f
secretary of the committee. The an- j
nouncement of Felder did not specify j
a? .1? 4. i
what aay except iu sutw uiat u wm

that the committee will go to Augusta
' for the examination.
The committee is expected to gather
in Columbia on next Wednesday,
* * the 10th, to hold a session, at which
time several witnesses will probably
be examined. It is not known what
witnesses are expected to be present
but the committee announced at the
conclusion of the session which they
held in Charleston that they would
bold, a later meeting in Columbia and
would subpoena Santo Sottille, and
[ two others of the alleged Charleston

Charleston and it is probable that
they will be present on Wednesday, j
The fact that the committee will I

meet in Columbia on Wednesday was
learned unofficially, but is correct.
The committee may go from here to 1
Augusta later on in the week to ex- j
amine Felder, but as to this it is j

Mr. Felder is the man who promised |
to write a book showing Governor j
Blease's dealings with the late State '
dispensary, but the book was never i
written. Afterwards he promised to I

islature met but this w*as not done j
and finally he agreed to meet the in- j
vestigating committee in Augusta and j
tell them -what he knows.

with Felder, decided, Felder ;

Abbeville Press and Banner.
Sunday, June 30, 1912, was tbe 78th |
birthday of Major F. W. R. Nance, of j
Abbeville, and as has been his custom ;
for manv years, he had his childrenj
with him to enjoy his birthday dinner
and to further cement the family ties.
Major Nance has for many years
been a prominent figure in the poli- I
tics of Abbeville county. Progressive j
even in the modernly specific meaning j
of tta term, and outspoken always, he i
has been found in the front rank of ;
every political upheaval from the days j
of reconstruction through the days of I
Tillman and the alliance and even to i
the present day. He is an outspoken !
I
supporter of Gov. Blease in his pres-!
ent race for governor.
i
Major Nance has filled important and
honorable positions as a public servant.
He served first as a eoantv com-;
. , ., ~ i
missioner wnen me nscaj anairs 01;
the county were administered by Three j
commissioners. His work in this of-1
fice was so satisfactory that he was j
later easily promoted to the office ot
sheriff. His administration of pjblie j
office, and especially of ihe therifl's |
office, was characterized by fairness I
and promptness. If papers were put;
in his hands for service or other busi- \
iimc tn ho troneQ/ifo/l Via yoefo/1 nr?t i
tv W V A CliiwUfV VvVlj iiv. 1 VVJLV^U WW \
until the requirement was behind him. |
After eight years of faithful service, he j
did the unusual by voluntarily return- j
ing to private life.
As a boy Major Nance was reared in i
t
affluence. His father numbered his
acres by the thousands and his negroes
by the hundreds. The major had his
own private horses and buggy eve2i as j
a mere college boy.
Progressive in politics, he was 110 *
less progressive In matrimony. He
graduated from Erskine college. His ;
graduating speech, which had been j
passed on by the professors, was on i
the subject, "Man was made to mourn." !
But this speech was never delivered. J
Just an hour before lie went on the)
commencement platform he took unto!
himself a wife, a fact that was known
to only a few of his intimate friends,
and in contemplation of this act, he j
had prepared another speech on "The j
Consistency of Woman," which he de- j
livered amid great applause, as the;
fact leaked out through the audience !
that he had joined the benedicts.
_ _
Major Nance enlistea in the Confed-1
erate service, James' batallion, Third
S. C. infantry, in 1861, and served j
through the war. The fortunes of war j
having been adversely settled, he re- j
turned to his wife and two little chil-,
dren to take up a new problem of ex-j
istence under changed conditions. For j
many years he held Ms own, and when ;
ne was eiecieci county snenn, ne naa
the good sense to save his money, and
set aside a comfortable estate to support
him in his declining years.
The major is faithful in his friend- ;
ship, and has that jovial disposition
that makes friends. Perhaps his unchanging
geniality, more than any oth- ;
er one thing, has held him up while j
traveling far along life's way.
We are indebted to a friend for the !

iV/iW wiimiiiUi; V^J. v ? VUIO III LllVi I
major's life:
Born in Newberry county, June 30,
1834, his maternal grandfather was
Colonel James Williams, who was kill- i
i
ed in the battle of Kings Mountain. His j
paternal grandfather was Hon. Frederick
Xance, eighth lieutenat governor
of South Carolina. His ancestors were
nf Sr?nfph-Tri?;h r?Ae^pnf Thpv cpftlpH in
Virginia and afterward moved to Newberry
county along with the Chalmers
family of this place and Newberry. Major
Nance's father was also named
Frederick and his mother was Margaret
Williams. His mother and father
moved from Newberry to Laurens
county when was about two years old.
He received his primary education at
Head Springs, Laurens county, in the
pastorate of Rev. David Haddon, of the
. ......
f
A. R. P. church, and under the direction
of a .Mr. Baxter.
In 1850 he entered the freshman j
class in Erskine college, graduating1
Therefrom four years afterward. Onej
of his classmates was the father of J
Erskine's present able president, Dr. j
J. S. Moffatt. He married ]\Iiss Janie
M. Agnew just an hour before making
his graduating speech, thus crowding
into one short dav two important
events of his life.
Dr. Ebenezer Pressly, president of
the seminary, married Miss Agnew's
only sister. He selected farming as
his life work and moved to Mississippi.
He was there when secession was beincr
in thie Sf\ntp retUm
llife a^lbUVVU AAA vwww.
ed to Abbeville county in 1860 and entered
the army, James' batallion, Third
S. C. infantry, 1861. He afterwards
served in1 the cavalry, Holcomb's legion.
After the war he engaged in
farming and the mercantile business
at Honea Pati, later moving to Due
West to educate his children. He was
elected county commissioner in 1890,
and 1892 was elected sheriff of Abbeville
county, which position he held
for eight years, declining re-election.
Major Nance lost his first wife in !
1894. Their living children are Samuel i
F., Elizabeth, J. A. and Enoch W.
Nance, all of this county. He is just
ly proud of his children and tneir aifection
for him is very marked.
He was married a second time to
Miss Ella M. Huckabee, of Lowndesville.
The major has documentary evidence
to show that he was one of the
first "farmers movement" men in Ab
beville county, amongst them letters
from Captain B. R. Tillman looking
to the organization of the farmers ;
movement. He has a letter from J. R. j
Brown, of Dallas, Texas, calling on I
him to organize the farmers alliance,!
which organization, non-political as it
was said to be, was thought by some to .
have had something to do with the
sirengtn ana growtu 01 uie iarmers i
movement."
The major has had a life of ups and
downs, but with common sense, good
judgment and a kindly word here and
there he has provided against the rainy
day. and now in the evening: of life he j
is resting 011 his laurels.
Spontaneous Combustion in Hay.
Spontaneous combustion in hay is
causing a number of fires throughout
the State, according to Insurance Commissioner
McMaster. He gives the j'ol
lowing instances:
A small store was burned in Co- j
lun bia, and it has b*en satisfactorily I
established that it was due to spo.-i-!
!
taneous combustion in several bales
of hay which the store-keeper had
purchased the day before. The storekeeper
on a Saturday morning had j
purchased from a country wagon sev- j
eral bales of hay which had been re-!
cently gathered. It was piled in the!
DacK part or me store ana tne even-;
i
ing sun beating on the rear end of the
store caused that part of the store to
be considerably heated. This seems to
have set the hay on fire, and about 4 j
o'clock next morning the flames were'
discovered in that end of the store.
The building was consumed.
Mr. Boozer, who lives near Cross!
Hill, hauled in several loads of uncur- ]
ed hay into his barn. A hand who went |
to feed the stock found that the hay
was heated but paid no attention to it.
At midday, when there was no one
about the barn, which was in a field,
the hay burst into flames and the barn j
was consumed.
Mr. Lewis Cook, who lives near Bish- |
opvifle, on the day before his fire, had
hauled into his barn some uncured
oats in bundles. The next morning,
at feed time, the oats were found to

day flames had started in the oats and <
the barn was consumed.

There can be no reason why any
reader of this who suffers the tortures
of an aching back, the annoyance of
urinary disorders, the pains and dangers
of kidney ills will fail to heed the j
word of a resident -of this locality who |
has found relief. The following is j
convincing proof.
Mrs. J. M. Wheeler, Prosperity, S.
Car., says: "My Sidneys were disordered
for a long time, causing^terrible
pains through my loins and limbs.
There was also a constant ache in my
back and on some occasions I could
scarcely get about. The kidney secretions
were unnatural and annoyed me;
greatly. I consulted several physi- j
cians and tried a number of kidney:
remedies, but did not improve in the,
least. I had about given up the hope,
of ever being cured when my son-inlaw
procured a supply of Doan's Kid- j
ney Pills for me at W. E. Pelham & I
Son's drug store. He had read that
they were good for kidney trouble and
induced cae to try them. I did so and
after I had taken th-e contents of two
boxes my backache had disappeared
on a mv indnpvs had been restored to
?
their normal condition. I have recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills to many
of my friends and shall continue to
do so."
