H0LSTE1H OF MOM e ETTA, PASSES AWAY Edgefield, June 13.?It has beer many years since Edgefield and hei ridge country have been in such . deep and inexpressible sadness as they find themselves in this morning. This is because of the death of Mrs. Julia Dozier Holstein. the 1 wife of Mr. M. H. Holstein. of the 1 Ride, or, as is said nowadays, of Monetta, one of the most honored citizens and largest planters of that section. Mrs. Holstein died away fro n her lovely old home on the Ridge, because of the fact that all her children. except one, live in the town of Edgefield. These children are Mrs. Kate Holstein Lynch. Mrs. Arthur S. Tompkins, Mrs. M. A. Taylor, Mr. Julian D. Holstein, and Miss Lena Holstein, of Edgefield, and Mrs. Taber Hill, of Greenwood. She died early this morning in the seventy-fifth year or her age under the roof of her devoted daughter, Mrs. M. A. Taylor, surroundea by her broken and inconsolable hus; band and all her children. In all her long and happy married life, she has lost no children, or other near relative. Therefore she has no graves at her old home. Consequent ly she will be buried here tomorrow morning. She leaves one sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Dozier Charlton, and many devoted nephews and nieces. Mrs. Holstein was Miss Julia Dos zier, of the proud old Saluda of ancient day, and came of the Doziers " and Yarboroughs, historic Revolu" tionary people of that section. In I 1 * r .? ?irinuou ana in iaci an tnroughout i her life, she was signally almost e faultlessly beautiful in face, form and manners, and her soul was even 1 more beautiful than her form. Her whole life's record is one of the highest, noblest, softest, gentlest, s most charitable, most purely Christian ever handed down to a family i or to a people. A peculiarly sad t feature connected with the death of y this noble lady is that a granddaughter. immeasureably devoted e to her. Miss Marie Tompkins, was s to have been married with ? large, gay and brilliant wedding, only day after tomorrow. As it is, the invic tations have been called in, and the marriage will take place in the a strictes. privacy. t LIGHTNING STRIKES 1 i rvmrupnu nnnn/in LiiAiniiiun onuiiuii Lexington, June 13.?During a severe electric and rain storm, which passed over Lexington yesterday s afternoon, the Methodist Church was struck by lightning, and a cor J ner of the building almost totally de i- molished. It is considered mirac ulous that the building did no n catch on fire, and it is believed tha the heavy rain is all that saved th building from burning.

DISPENSARY IN VESTIGATION LANAHAN MUST PRODUC1 BOOKS Or RECORD HORDEGA1 APPEARS AGAIN COMMISSION WAS NOT SATISFlEi WITH HIS SHOWING IN THE CASE Or THE WILSON DISTILLING COMPANY The dispensary investigation pro ceeded with some degree of celerity Wednesday, although the end of the hearings is not yet in sight. The commission in executive session decided that a demand would be made on all banks in the State for interest on the funds deposited. There has been a rumor to the effect that the banks would offer to oppose the paying of interest, although they have had the use of this money foi nearly 16 months. The commissior will get the interest or confiscate the collateral, which is double the amount of the deposits. Another important action was the settlement with Mr. Duncan C. Ka> on a claim which he carried into the federal courts as a friendly suit. The commission is very grateful for the valuable and valued service renderec by Mr. Kay. The interminable Lanahan case bobbed up again yesterday and the commission went on record in nc uncertain terms. This firm mus comply with the mandate of the eemmission with reference to the production of books of record, dhe commission was very emphatic a bout this. The commission of course do not wish to get antl make publit any office formula with wh:ch ; popular brand of pure whiskey c; i be p'roduced, but it does wish tc find out what was in the bulk good: sent to South Carolina. Thes< transactions are not recorded on tin books put in evidence and as Lan ahan has been proved to have pau graft to Alabama dispensaries ant to have sold a cheap compount : liquor under dissembling labels, tlr commission is really anxious t< know what kind of a scheme he ha. for the South Carolina trade. An order was passed that thi I book must be placed in evidence c steps would be taken to have Lar , ahan extradited and compelled t i tell something about this. Whe r here he promised to send down i man called Cullins, who had char^ . of that part of the work, but he a[ . i pears to have forgot his promise _ j Col. Felder and Mr. W, A.
