This, possibly, comes with a view to putting a stop to the or»? reel big investigaticn now pending. However, prior to this late devel opment of tonight the finishing touches on that little investigation of the governor, the attorney get>- eral and the members of the old Stgte dispensary commission in eonncction with the affairs- of the old State dispensary were put on this afternoon by Speaker Smith wImei he rife-med the three members of the House for the commission. This commission which has caus ed so much discussion and which I* one cf the most important acts of the General Assembly, stands as follows: . Berate—Senator Carlisle, of Spar tanburg; Senator Sullivan, of An derson; Senator Clifton, of Sum ter. House—W. L. Daniel, of Salndr-: 'Trank M. Carey, of Pickens: J. J. Evara of Marlboro. These are the men that w'll delve Into the grave charges of corruption brought by the governor. The governor errneetly requested the investigation and then charged his mind and vetoed the measure because he declared the S a nate members were his political enemies. The House memb* rs, it is thought are not bis political friends. How ever, all of the members of th* coQinisslon are rlrar\ f*ir-?n»n I?.* men and will «! • tM ~ a squnre deni wre:.

Scholars, as well r-s teachers ha\e been prodigals long enough to fully appreciate a well equipped and comfortable school buildiag. The new year finds quite a lot of cotton in the field.
