EDGEFIELD LADY
DEAD
y MRS. M. 1. 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.

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.
Messrs Webb Holstein and Mik
Smith of Holstein's X Koads wa

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
