WHISKEY ONLY TO DISPENSARIES Dominick Cites Effect Webb Law Has in This State PERSONAL USERS SOON ELIMINATED Assistant Attorney General Submits Opinion to The Supreme Court Columbia, May 12.?Assistant Attorney General Fred H. Dominick, will file a brief in the supreme court here today in which it will be contended on the part of the State of South Carolina that under the Webb law recently enacted by Congress, as aplied to the liquor laws of this State no shipment of whiskey into this State is legal except it be to a dispensary. "But for the protection of the inter state commerce clause," says the assistant attorney general, "there is only one method of lawfully obtaining, receiving, and possessing liquors in the State of South Carolina, and that is by purchase from a county dispensary for a lawful purpose. All other liquors are deemed and expressly declared to be contraband, and may be seized without warrant." The brief contends there is ample authority as to the right of the State to pass and enforce such a law. "Now that this protection,'' i ne protection of the interstate commerce clause, the brief concludes, "has been withdrawn by the Webb act the State laws apply equally to shipments from without the State as well as to shipments within the State." The brief points out that it is nowunlawful to ship liquor from one point in the State to another point in the State, and that shipments from without the Sate, even for personal use are now only permitted under J the protection of the inter-State com- r merce clause which protection is nowwithdrawn. the assistant attorney general contends by the Webb law. The brief is filed on behalf of the State of South Carolina in the case of W. W. Atkinson, plaintiff, against! Southern Express Company, which i will test the effect of the recently enacted Webb law. Should the contention of the assistant attorney general on behalf of the State, be sustained, it will mean that even bona fide "personal use" shipments will be illegal and the only way to get whiskey in this State will j be to buy it from a county dispen- j sarv in person. Long Sleep for a Horse. Great harness horses almost in- j i variably have other characteristics of greatness in addition to their extreme speed. Trainers invariably inquire as to the temper of their pacer or trotter after it is known that he possess- | es speed. Independence Boy, 2:01 1-2 j the Columbus pacer, who still holds the world's record for the three fastest heats ever paced in the race,! many will recall had his left hind j ankle fractured during a grand cir- ; cuit heat last fall. He has been in a ' sling ever since until a week ago. The almost human capacity for i making himself comfortable while | afflicted brings out many interesting little tricks the great pacer planned to get the most comfort out of his predicament. Hanging in his big leather and canvas swing, day after day, he managed to hobble into a certain position and then relax his four limbs while he snoozed away for a little respite. However, he did not get a single night's sleep during the eight or nine weeks he was strapped in "the rafters," and one of the oddest incidents ever noted about a healthy horse was noted when he was relieved. When his ankle was pronounced strong and the canvas was removed he stood on his four legs, looked around at his attendants with genuine horse satisfaction, and with a "here goes for a snooze." tumbled on his downy bed of oat straw and slept for fourteen straight hours. So sound was his slumber that the attendants thought it advisable to turn him over after eight hours, and he was turned over irom one siue 10 me umer ?imout even stopping his snoring or awakening. Horsemen and veterinarians declare it was the most remarkable exhibition of absolute slumber they had ever seen. Up-to-date line of stationery just received at Herald Book Store. WHY STOREX LOST. Tillman Says His Fight on Whaley Was the Cause. Washington, May S.?Senator Tillman today gave out the following statement about patronge and politics in the 1st South Carolina Congressional district: "Some people in Charleston and Colleton counties will not understand just how or why Mr. Murray has become postmaster at Walterboro. while Mr. Storen has lost out in his fight for the position as collector of customs at Charleston. The situation was just this: "George Legare, while living, endorsed both of these men for the respective office and I promised him I would do what I could for both of them. Storen's Name Held Up. "While the second primary was still pending in the Congressional district both names were sent to the President for appointment, but no action was taken. Senator Smith and I endorsed both men and had the appointment been made when the names first went to the President both would have been in office now. For some reason, which I have never been able to understand Mr. Murray's name came to the Senate for postmaster at Walterboro while Storen's name hung fire.; "When Mr. Whaley came to Washington and urged his rights to make the appointments in his district as we all had agreed that Congressmen should do, the situation was, as I have above indicated. We endorsed Mr. Murray, and to our surprise, the name came to the Senate the dav after Mr. Whaley appeared here and after the second primary had been held. Although he was not a Congressman, he was to all intents and - - 1 - 3 ? ? J ??* ^ vArtr*rr purposes eiecieu, auu we &u r6nized him. Consulted Legare's Friends. "Realizing that it would be unfair to Mr. Whaley to press Storen's appointment. under the circumstances we held it up and waited for ne*vs from Charleston. I wrote to George Legare's bosom friends there and asked their opinion and advice. The replies were that if George Legare were living they believed he would be against Storen rather than for him. "Mr. Whaley had indicated a preference for Mr. Harvey first, and for Mr. Peters second. Finally it was agreed that Mr. Peters should be recommended for appointment and his name was sent to the President and is now before the Senate. "Murray's appointment had been made and was out of reach before Mr. Whaley arrived in Washington. The Senators would have stultified themselves had they tried to recall it. With Storen, the case was different, and we did recall his name and substituted Peters. Mr. Storen's activity against Mr. Whaley is the cause of -c-ii * ? or. ins lauurc lu get iuc umv;c. Would Warn the People. "I think it worth while, and, indeed, my duty, to warn the people of the 1st Congressional district, that if haif we hear in Washington is true somebody ought to be put in the Penitentiary pretty soon. An examination of the Penal Code shows that Sections 360, 361, 362, 363, and 365 have all been violated by more people than are aware of it, perhaps. Promises to give offices, actual payment of money for votes, and other serious crimes as mentioned. Many men, not in one county, but in several, are liable to go to the Penitentiary or pay fines. The papers of the State would do well and render the public a service if they would print these sections of the Code as a warning to office-seekers and their friends. Hopes Legislature Will Act. "I sincerely trust that the next session of the Legislature will throw such safeguards around the primary as to make the corruption which is charged impossible to occur. We have laws enough to punish fraud and bribery, if they are only enforced, but laws are mere waste paper if there are no officials ready to carry them out. Public opinion must compel the officers to do their duty or else the State will be corrupted throughout its borders. It will be remembered that these statutes were enacted after a Congressional race in the 2d district where much money was used. It is very clear to my mind that the Democratic party must take active, aggressive steps to stop such transactions. We cannot hope for good government otherwise, or to maintain the State's fair name. It is enough to make any South Carolinian ashamed of his State to hear of so much rottenness and corruption in the 1st Congressional district." Deservedly Ilemorset'ul. "I'm sorry I ever married you!" shrieked the bride, on the occasion of their first quarrel. "You ought to be!" retorted the groom, really angry and bitter for the first time. "You beat some nice girl out of a good husband."?Cleveland Plain Dealer. RICHARD S. WHALEY SWORN IN. No latest Against Seating of South ! Carolina's New Congressman. Washington, May fl.?Richard S. Whalev was sworn in this morning as ; a member of Congress for the 1st I South Carolina district. He was es- < corted to the bar of the House and 1 presented to'the Speaker by Repre- ; sentative David E. Finley, chairman ' of the South Carolina delegation, i When Mr. Finley had 6tated the pur- ] pose for which he addressed the < Speaker, the Republican floor leader, 1 Representative Mann, of Illinois, I asked if there was any contest. "No," < said Mr. Finley, and without other i interruption the new 1st district Rep- 1 resentative took the oath of office. I Diligent inquiry failed to disclose any 1 trace of protest-filed with the Speak- j er against the seating of Mr. Whaley, i or to induce an admission that such a document had been received at his ] office. : Orangeburg District Conference. The Orangeburg District confer- J ence convened at Holly Hill on Wed- l nesday, April 30, the Rev. J. W. White, of Harleyville, preaching the opening sermon on Wednesday night. The conference was organized on Thursday morning by the Rev. M. L. Banks, presiding elder, fifty-eight an- ] swering to the roll.call. At the close ! of the business session a love feast was held, with preaching at 11.45 J by the Rev. J. W. Ariail, of St. George. At the afternoon session reports ! from the different charges were read. ! At night the Rev. L. E. Wiggins ' preached. Friday morning the business session continued and the reports from ( preachers in charge were concluded. A collection for the Epworth orphanage was taken at this service, amounting to $29. The Rev. W. B. Wharton represented the orphanage. At 11.45 the Rev. W. H. Hodges, ! of Bamberg, delivered a most impressive sermon on temperance. The afternoon session was taken up by reports from committees. These show that the Orangeburg district is in good condition on all lines. There ' was preaching at night by the Rev. W. S. Martin. j The institutions of the conference were represented by their various agents and professors, Wofford college and Fitting school by Prof. Guilds; Columbia college by P. A. ' Hodges, financial agent of the college; Lander college by the Rev. S. A. Nettles. The Rev. W. B. Duncan, Jr., of Orangeburg, was licensed to preach and recommended to the annual con< ference. There was a large attendance of both preachers and laymen in attendance on the conference, and they all ' enjoyed the generous hospitality of 1 the good people of Holly Hill for the three days. It was a delightful meeting, and nothing was left undone by the Holly Hill folks to make those who attended feel at home. No conference could be entertained more generously and 1 hospftably than the Orangeburg Dis- 1 trict conference was. The people of Holly Hill are a gen- ' erous, -wholesouled people, who know ' exactly how to entertain strangers and make them feel at home among them. This they did to a marked de- ' gree with all who attended the Or- ' angeburg District Conference. ( EVANS DISBARRED. 1 May Be Reinstated Hereafter on 1 Proof of Abstinence. C Columbia, May 9.?Barnard B. Ev- ( ans, an attorney of Columbia, and 1 two times candidate for attorney gen- * eral, was indefinitely suspended from * the practice of law in the State by 5 the supreme court of South Carolina ' today. "It is therefore the judgment of the 1 court that Barnard B.

The decision was written by C. A. Woods, acting chief justice, and concurred in by Associate Justice Watts, Hydrick, Fraser and Acting Associate Justice Xicholls. The charges of misconduct against Evans were preferred by J. Fraser Lyon, former attorney general, and the case was prosecuted before the court by Wade Hampton 4. Cobb, solicitor.

Lexington, May 9.?Sebe Brazzell, i white man, was arrested by Sheriff Sim J. Miller at the Union Station in Columbia this morning in connection cvith the blowing of the postoffice safe it Barr on Wednesday night, but was later released, as were also three Dther white men arested yesterday. Brazzell is said to have answered the description in many respects of the tall man that was seen in the party of four going toward Barr on Wednes ? t-? 11 ^ ^ i.~ jay aiiernouu. Diattvu uianus iu uc i cotton mill operative, and avowed today that he had not left his house for several days. Postoffice Inspector Holiday went to Barr this morning and made a personal investigation of the surroundings. He later returned to Columbia, from which place the postoffice department will make a vigorous search for the robbers. Sheriff Miller is still working on the case, and has a clue which he thinks will prove successful within the next few days. Death of Mrs. McMillan. Lodge, May 9.?It was late in the afternoon of May the 5th that the angel of death entered the home of Mr. R. B. McMillan, of this section, and claimed his dear wife, Amamla, tor the eternal beyond. For the past 3ight weeks she had suffered untold. All was done for her that loving hands could do, but our Heavenly Father had need of her and called her to that city of rest where there :ometh no night. The remains were laid to rest at Carter's Ford Baptist church, Tuesday evening, May the 6th, at four p'clock, where a large concourse of loved ones, relatives and friends, had gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to her who now sweetly rests in the beyond. Funeral services were conducted by Revs. Lawson and Meadows. Mrs. McMillan was about 35 years Df age, and was married to Mr. Mc Millan in January, 1905, and since their marriage they have lived a happy, prosperous and devoted life and had known no sorrow until the end. Mrs. McMillan was the daughter sf Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Bishop, of Colston, and a member of Mt. Pleasant Lutheran church until two years ago, when she united with the Carter's Ford Baptist church, of which she has been a faithful and consistent member until her death. She leaves a husband, six children, father, mother, four brothers, three sisters, a host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. The bereaved have the sympathy [>f the writer and the entire community in this sad hour, and we pray that God's richest blessings may rest upon them in this hour of sorrow. ? Mayor's Life Tlireatened. Barnwell, May 11.?Following a raid on the place of O. D. Moore Friday night, in which about twentyfive bottles of beer were seized, Mayor J. Emile Harley was threatened with ieath this morning by S. E. Moore, a brother of the alleged blind tiger, if tie ever put his foot in the store igain. The threat was made on Main street and Mayor Harley, realizing :'ne possible consequences of such an encounter, refused to engage in a fis:icuff with Moore. The raid, which resulted in the :hreat, was made by policemen F. M. 2ave and W. A. Hayes, on a warrant sworn out by Mayor Harley, who accompanied them to Moore's store in person. No wet goods except the ;wenty-five bottles of beer were 'ound, but Mayor Harley deemed this sufficient to place Moore under a $50 oond. When Moore indulged in unseemly language Mayor Harley put :he amount of bail at $100 and instructed Chief Cave to "get the cash ir a certified check." The latter was furnished. When S. E. Moore arrived in town this morning and found out what lad taken place, he met Mr. Harley in Main street and, among other :hings, threatened him with instant ieath if he "ever put his foot into lis store again." Mayor Harley, as stated above, refused to engage in a personal encounter, and replied that tie was merely doing his duty and ;hat he intends to continue doing it. 3e immediately swore out a warrant 'or Moore, charging him with using /ulgar language on the street, and ixed the amount of his bond at $100, vhich was furnished. The action of the mayor is commended by all law-abiding citizens, ind he will be backed up in all that ie does for law and order. He stated hat he intends to put a stop to the llegal sale of whiskey in Barnwell, (ven 11 nis me is me lunea, 0. D. Moore was arrested about wo weeks ago on the charge of vioating the dispensary law and placed inder a bond of $50, which he foreited by his non-appearance at the Mayor's Court.
