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"has been withdrawn by the Webb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.

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.

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.

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. Evans be in- s

move before the court for reinstatement
after the expiration of two
years upon satisfactory proof that he
has not for two years immediately
preceding his application used intoxicating
liquors and that he has reformed
his character," concluded the
decision of the court.
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

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.
