It has been customary for the Baptist church to be closed on these occasions, and the same arrangements will be adhered to next Sunday. Attendance Medal. In our report of the graded school last week there was an unintentional omission. There was a gold medal offered by Miss Pet Stephens, one of the teachers, to the scholar making the highest average on attendance during the year. It was won by little Charlie Black, a son of Dr." J. B. Black, and he now wears the trophy of his punctuality. He was not absent "a single day during the entire term. * Assistant Professor Spahr. H. L. Spahr, Esq., a young lawyer of this city, has been elected assistant to Prof. E. S. Joynes in history and modern i languages at the South Carolina College.1 Mr. Spahr graduated at the college a few years ago in both the literary and law courses, and is well qualified for the position. He is an exceptionally bright young man, and while his many friends in Bamberg are sorry to have him leave here, thev are heartily glad of his election. The State yesterday morning had the following editorial paragraph in reference to the election: "The trustees of the South Carolina College appear to have chosen well in their selection of the tutors in history and modern languages and also the adjunct professor of ancient languages. It is especially gratifying to note that from among the college alumni were found men fitted for these positions. Messrs. Spahr and McCutchen are both graduates of the institution." Shooting at timer. T ?. oraninrr nlmnt flnst Mr XiOM r 1 luaj uvuiug ..... John Smith, hi Buford's Bridge, this county, was shot'by Mr. John Harter, a merchant at Ulmer." The weapon used was a pistol, and Harter fired six times, four of the bullets taking effect in the groin and thigh. The difficulty occurred at the home of Mr. Harter, at* Ulmer. The two men are brothers-in-law, both having married daughters of the widow Platts. It seems that Smith had gone to the home of Harter for his little girl, and thev were in the buggy starting away when Harter came home. The two men went off to one side and got into a quarrel, and Smith seized a stick or piece of scantling lying near and knocked Ilarter down, who arose and commenced shooting. Smith grasped his pistol hand, and thereby kept the bullets from entering his hotly. This accounts for their taking effect in his lower limbs. After the shooting Smith was removed to the house of Mr. Wilkerson, where he now lies. The doctors, we understand, are of the opinion that the wound in his groin is a serious one, but it is hoped it will not prove fatal. Facts as to the causes which led up to the difficulty are hard to get, and we are not sure that the details of the shooting stated above are correct. However, it is all we have been able to procure.

Felder went up to Columbia for a ' hearing before the State board of control ? in reference to the Bamberg dispensary matter. They returned the same evening. . The State gives the following account of the proceedings before the board: ' "The case of the appointment of the * Bambergcounty board of control was discussed and considered at length. The members of the board were inclined to the opinion that the appointments, under the circumstances, were unfortunate, inas! much as they were made upon the recommendation of Senator Mayfield, who had failed, it has since developed, to consult with Representative Black in regard to the matter. The names of the appointees were transmitted to the State board by Senator Mayfield over the telephone wires, and the State board presuming that Mr. Black had been consulted, made the * - ? r- Tii i_ appointments, against wmcn .nr. roach, subsequently protested. The only question now is that the appointment of the Bamberg county board having beeu duly made, has the State board the legal right to review or to revoke its action ? This question has been referred to the attorney general for his opinion, which it is expected he will render at once." Up to this writing, Attorney General Bellinger has not yet rendered his opinion, consequently the matter is still undecided. The section he will be called upon to construe is section (J of the dispensary law passed bv the last legislature, and reads as follows: "That the county boards of control be appointed by the board of State directors in the manner now provided by law, by and with the advice and consent of the members of the Senate and House of Representatives from the respective counties, or a majority thereof; the county dispensers shall be elected by the county boards of control. Provided that no person shall be elected county dispenser or clerk who is related within the 6th degree by blood or marriage with any member of the board of directors of the State dispensary, with the dispensary commissioner, or with any member of the county board of control by whom such county dispenser or clerk are to be elected." ALL COUNTY BOARDS ILLEGAL. Since the above was put in type Attornev General Bellinger has rendered his opinion, which is printed below in full. His opinion knocks out all the new county boards and reinstates the old boards. Mr. Bellinger takes the grounds that the county boards should be commissioned by the governor, and they, being commissioned by the State board, are not legal bodies. Here is the decision in full: Hon. Leon J. Williams, Chairman State Board of Directors, Columbia, S. C.? Dear Sir: I ain just in receipt of your letter of this date, in which you sav: ~ ' < iaa<\ *K:., "ull clay oi 1j7w, uus> iiuaiu, i being desirous* of appointing the county board of control for Bamberg county, as provided in section 6, pas*e 440, of the act of 1900, addressed to the Hon. S. G. Mayfield, senator from said county, a communication as follows: "Office of the State Board of Directors, South Carolina Dispensary, Columbia, S. C., March 12,1900?Dear Sir: You will please confer with your delegation, and send to this office by April 1 the names and addresses of three suitable persons to be appointed on the county board of control for your county at the April meeting of this board, and greatly oblige. * "By request of board of directors. Very respectfully, B. C. Webb, Clerk." In response to this was received a letter, of which the following is a copy: (Letter of Mr. Mayfield names the three members of the county board to be appointed.) Thereupon the State board of directors, presuming and acting upon which since : proves a misapprehension, viz: that "the members of the Senate and House of Representatives" of said county, "or a ma- ; jority thereof," consented to and advised the appointment of the members suggested by Senator Mayfield, proceeded at once to make the suggested appointments. Since the resignation of Mr. Cram as a member of the House Bamberg county has but one representative, the Hon. J. ?. Black. We have been officially notified that Mr. Black neither advised nor con- ; sented in the appointments, and has formally entered his protest against the same. 1 The members of the new county board so appointed by us were commissioned by the State board of directors only. We desire your opinion on the following questions: i Waw snob nnnnfritments learal and valid ? , 2. If not, what steps, if any, are proper and necessary to remove the appointees ? 3. What force and effect have the acts of the new board performed since the date of their appointment ? Without restating the facts I proceed to a consideration of the legal questions involved. 1. In section 6, of the last "dispensary act," (acts 1900, page 440,) it is provided "that the county boards of control be appointed by the board of State directors in the manner now provided by law, by and with the consent and advice of the members of the Senate and House of Representatives from the respective counties, or a majority thereof," etc. Your statement shows that not even "a majority" of the members representing Bamberg county in the General Assembly "consented to" or "advised" the appointments named by your honorable board, and I am of the opinion that your action therein was a nullity, as ultra vires, and that said attempted appointments were void ab initio and of none effect. In cases like this the delegated power to appoint officers, like the power of removal, is strictlv construed, and to have effect, especially where such appointees are to succeed others in office, such appointments are to be made in conformity with the requirements of the statute conferring the power. 2. It will be observed that the section quoted refers to the act of 1896, which, in section 5 (page 127) prescribes that "the persons (county board) so appointed shall hold their offices for a tenn of two years and until their successors are appointed. * * * The members of the county board of control shall qualify and be commissioned as are other county officers without fees therefor." This section, so far as quoted, is not expressly repealed by the act of 1900, and not being "inconsistent with the provisions" of the latter, is still of force. The county board of control, elected under the act of 1896, holds over until *l- ~- ""/inAoonfc ?? ?> dnlv and I.I1C11 SUUCdOUJO Ui V VAU?V qualified. Therefore, in my opinion, it alone can, * * under the present conditions, exercise the functions of said office. Further, the Constitution (art. 4, sec. 17,) provides that the Governor "shall commission all officers of the State." The act creating the "county board of control" designates its members as "county officers," and requires that they shall "be commissioned as are other county officers without fees therefor." Nowhere is authority, given to the "board of State directors" to commission these officers, and they have no evidence of title to, nor can they exercise the right to succession in, an office until commissioned by the Governor. Three steps are necessary to entitle the members to the emoluments and the right to exercise the functions of office, viz: Regular appointment, taking the oath of office and receiving the Governor's commission. It appears that the claims of the members of the so-called "new board" are fatally defective in all three of these particulars. Not having been clothed with official authority at any time, it follows that no steps for removal from office are necessary. :i. The acts of the members of the suggested board are the acts of private individuals, and cannot properly receive official recognition in connection with the J Ui lliv Kiio^rvu^u*^ Respectfully, Q. Duncan Bellinger, Attorney General. [ * ; During summer we are liable to stomr ach and bowel troubles, such as diarrhoea, ; colic, cramps, etc., for which Dr. M.

They will begin to arrive today, and wo feel sure that each and every one of them will be pleased at what they see and hear. The exercises commence tiiis (Thursday I evening at 8.:>0, when the annual celebration of the Sheridan and Kilgo literary societies will take place. The program will consist of essays, recitations, and a debate. Friday evening the literary address will be delivered by rrof. J. (i. Olinkseales. Saturday evening the annual closing exercises will take place, at which several of the graduates will read essays and declaim. Sunday morning at 11 o'clock the annual sermon will be preached by Rev. W. \Y. Daniel, D. D., at the Methodist church. The attendance this year has been very ; satisfactory, and the school has had one of the most successful terms in its history. The graduating class this year is composed of nine members. Tramp Shot at Midway. Tuesday night alnrnt ten o'clock Mr. John Sense, who lives at Midway, heard some intruder in his house. He called out to know who it was, and, receiving no answer, called to his brother-in-law, Mr. Jim Dukes, who-was sleeping in another room, to shoot whoever it was. At this the would-be robber ran out of the house and around the church, which is just across the street. Mr. Dukes followed, and, as the fellow came from behind the building, tired on him with a gun loaded with number four shot. The man then ran on down to the branch near by, whece he was captured. He is a white man, and gave his name as Allen Jeff coat, saying he was from the lower edge of Lexington county, next to Orangeburg.* It appears that lie is a tramp, as he was seen to leave a train at Midway Tuesday without a hat, and when captured he had a hat he had taken from Mr. Sense's residence. Nothing else was missing. He was brought to jail the same night, and Sheritf Hunter summoned a physician to attend to his wounds. They are not of a serious nature, as he was struck in the right side of his face. Only a few shot entered the llesh, most of the load passing him. He is not very communicative, and will not talk about his presence in the house, but has told his name and where he is from. JefTcoat will no doubt answer to the charge of burglary and larceny at the July term of court. Summer Excursions. The Southern Railway will, beginning June 1st, place on sale round trip tickets to all summer resort points. Stop-over privileges will be permitted within the summer resort territory. Tickets will be on sale until September 30th, good to return until October 31st. For full information call on or address Havelock Eaves, Agent Southern Railway. Semi-Anuual Clearing Sale. R.

It relates to amusements for sick children. It is the first of a series of articles along that line by Lina Beard, the famous sfster of the famous cartoonist and author, Dan Beard. Miss Beard's volume, "The American Girl's Handy Book," has made her known in thousands of ^.merican homes. In issue of the Delineator there are more each colored plates, more novelties in styles, more articles of value and of interest to women than in any other publication devoted to fashions and home affairs, no matter what the price may be. The vexed question as to whether literary men make good husbands will probably never be disposed of, as it needs must be settled by individual cases, and no two individuals are alike. The crabbed Carlyle and his high-strung Jane, the latter unoubtedly dwarfed in her literary product by her constant self-effacement in the presence of her moody husband, form the subject for Miss Laughlin's July contribution to the Stories of Authors' Loves, appearing in the Delineator. She gives a pathos 'to the subject, lacking with some of the harsher pens that have treated it. Glorious News Comes from Dr. D. B.
