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.

A Friend.
> Th* Dispensary Matter.
Last Thursday Senator S. G. Mayfield,
5 Representative il. B. Black, and Dispenser
J. D. 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

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.

Some Improvements >
Mr. G. Moye Dickinson is building a
brick store on Main street, between Moye
& Dickinson and the millinery store of
Mrs. Counts.
Gen. F. M. Bamberg's residence is being
repainted.
Mr. John H. Cope is having his former
residence, next to the Cope House, repainted.
Mr. C. W. Rentz's handsome residence,
ear the Carlisle Fitting School, is nearing
completion.
G. Frank Bamberg has commenced
work on a brick buggy and harness room
on the south side of his stables. It will
be 100x30 feet, with a plate glass front.
The building was made necessary on account
of a lack of room.
The July Delineator.
There is a sensible article in the July
Delineator that will be read with pleasure
by troubled mothers. 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.

"I thank your honor kindly," she responded
[dropping a low courtesy J to the
court, "but there are old women enough
there already."
