The State lluarl of Control 1’ostponea Ac
tion on the Dispensary Investigation Un
til Next Month—The Chief of Police of
Wlllliuuson Shoots and Kills a Negro
Highwayman, Etc.
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 18.—Tho board
of control has postponed any action on
the dispensary investigation until its
next meeting in October. Tho board
was not expected to go deep into tho
"'•dtorwuidit did not. It had no power
tocainWRun^u. Tho
statement of Bookkeeper Scruggs that
if any one was getting commissions
they would not bo foolish enough to
have that fact appear on tho vouchers,
explains a good deal.
The board did not go beyond the
vouchers. Tho legislature will bo tho
only body to mako a thorough investi
gation. A vast volume of testimony |
was taken, but little new was developed. |
Governor Evans and his brother, Bar
ney, wore among tho witnesses.
Bookkeeper Scruggs told how ho had I
been told by Governor Evans to act as
his personal representative in tho dis- |
pensary and to endeavor to detect Mix-
son or others in fraud. Ho thought ho i
had caught Mixson in getting $11,000 in |
rebates, but it had been turned into the !
treasury. He had also considered Sec- [
retary of State Tompkins implicated, 1
but subsequent events did not show it.
Scruggs then told how he visited Cin
cinnati and found that Mixson’s sons
had been gefing rebates from tho Live I
Oak company.
Mixon’s sons elaborated their story,
already told, and declared that their
father know nothing of their doings.
Liquor Commissioner Mixson was on
tho stand for several hours Nothing ,
new was got out of him. Ho denied ;
ever getting a cent of rebates and do- ,
clarod he did not beliovo Evans had.
Tho governor testified that he never
got a cent of money out of the dispen- j
sary. Ho told of the rumors of wrong- !
doing in that institution, and how ho
hud instructed Scruggs to watch Mix-
son. He had not told the attorney gen
eral because lie had no evidence on Com
missioner Mixson, and the young Mix- j
eons were not state employes.
When all the evidence was in, at 8 p. j
m., tho board proceeded to consider in
secret, and at midnight tho action in- j
dicattd was decided on.

Columbia, S. C., Sept. 10.—Magis
trate Smith has rendered his decision in
the case brought by T. J. Lam- tte for
tho Prohibitionists against Narcy &
ISeegcrs, who were granted privileges of
selling beer by the governor. Lamotte
claimed that they were under tho dis
pensary law common nuisances. Magis
trate Smith refused to accept Lamotte’s
affidavit, saying:
“I am obliged to take cognizance of
tho generally known and admitted fact
that thcfco persons and special dispensa
ries are appointed by tho state board of
control holding permits to sell beer
under the dispensary law, and under
these circumstances Ido deem it my
duty to issue a warrant under section 22,
upon the affidavit charging a common
nuisance, as the only method of pro
ceeding under t mt section is not only
the arrest of tho parties, but tho taking
of the beer and fixtures, and if it is de
sired to te»t the legality of the beer
privileges it can be done in a less strin
gent way than is provided for in sec
tion 22.”

ceeded to Ids residence, from tho piazza

mands for a speech Judge Earle has

that ho will accept.

Chairman Holton Snj-s the Populists Will
I>i‘inaii(l All Eleven Electors In This
fdato—Other Items.
Raleigh, Sept. 22.—Tho Democratic,
Populist and Silver parties have agreed
to fuso on a Bryan electoral ticket in
North Carolina, tho Democrats naming
five electors, the Populists five and tho
Silver party one. This union of all the
silver elements, it is claimed, insures
tho state to tno t’^kfl^by a
largo majority.
James B. Lloyd of tho Populist state
committee proposed that the Populists
and Democrats take live each and give
one to the Silver party. It was frankly
said by tho Democrats, whoso commit
tee met at 8 o’clock, that they would
not accept any modification of their
original proposition.
The Populist state chairman tele
graphed to each elector named by that
party asking if ho Avould abide by any
action tho committee might make. Ail
replied yes.
The Progressive Farmer, tho organ of
tho National Fanners’ Alliance, is
against a division of tho electors. The
leading editorial says:
‘‘Woo to tho Democratic or Populist
committee if they attempt to cast tho
electoral voto for that arch goldbug, Ar
thur Sewall, and this will be done if the
Democratic proposition is accepted. If
tho Democratic committee lias power t >
give Watson five electors it has power
to settle the trouble by giving him all,
and this tho Populist committee should
insist upon. Give Watson with Bryan
or else Norton and Watson will bo tho
ticket.”
The chairmen of tho railway commis
sions of Georgia and South Carolina arc
hero to confer with the North Carolina
commission.
MR. MORGAN TO SPEA!C.

Senators Morgan and Tol er shall each

Tho professional pickpockets who fol
lowed tho Bryan special train and
worked the crowds in this state, have
nearly all been captured. It is esti
mated that they got $r>,0!)0 in this state.

tho Seaboard Air Lino was wrecked.
One brukeman was killod and 13 boxcars
Avoro demolished. The accident was
due to a broken truck.
Republican Stato Chairman Holton
said that tho Populists av 11 'demand all
11 electors in North Carolina. This is
a new movement and will attract much
attention.
To Arrange For Kli-ctoral Fitnloii.
Raleigh, Sept. 10.—The Democratic
j state committee is called to moot hero
| Sept. 21, the same date as tho meeting
of tho Populist committee. Both com
mittees’chairmen say tho purpose is to
arrange for electoral fusion on a basis
of division of electors. Tho Democrats
proposed this 45 days ago. The Popu
lists declined it until they had fused
with tho Republicans on the state
ticket and attempted fusion on tho con
gressional ticket. There is some hitch
regarding congressional fusion, as in
two districts tho Republican nominees
decline to withdraw in favor of Popu
lists. Tho Populists’ state organ now
declares that the action of its state com
mittee is only recommendatory and not
binding unless voters say so.
To Settle itato AVar by Arbitration.
Raleigh, Sept. 18.—Chairman Wil
son of tho North Carolina railway com
mission, invites tho chairmen of tho

gin a movement for tho settlement by
arbitration of the railway rate war now
in progress between tho Southern mid

they each agree to submit flic matters
in controversy to the interstate commis
sion or other disinterested persons.

Says the Democratic Candidate For the

Danger of n Flood of Silver.
Cki.stkh, Pa., Sept. 22, — A largo
crowd stood bore in tho rain and listened
to Mr. Bryan for 15 minutes. lie said:
Ladies and Gentlemen:
1 shall not keep you standing long in
the rain. [Cries of ‘ No matter, go on’’].
In the short time I have to speak to you, I
want to discus,s political questions of im
port nice. I desire to appear before you
and to saj tii.iv If I r.'w "Leted 1 will to
the best of my ability carry out the prin
ciples the Chicago platform stands for.
[Applause], The chairman introduced me
ns the candidate of a great political party.
I can go a little beyond that. I was nom
inated by a great political party and then
two other parties which were willing to
make the silver question the paramount
is me of t he campaign, did the very re
markable thing of going outside of their
r.mhs to indorse a nomination already
mad \ and therefore I come to you as the
nominee for the highest office in the gift
of i lie people of the world, the nominee of
t!,i • jiolilical partien agreeing that the
money question rises above all otherqiics-
♦ ions ami must be settled before other
questions can lie. [Applause].
I believe tiiaf the money question is tho
most impmaaiit question which the Amer
ican pi ooic have been called on to pass
upon in time of peace since our national
h.-tory begun. Wo have reached a crisis
in our monetary affairs. Our llnaneinl
policy ha- !> -eii run by a few syndicates in
I!i;• interests of ihe moneychangers, and
t he question presented to your neopk* is
whether the people shall take charge of
our I'ovcrmnent and run ii in the interest
ol the people. The Republican plat
form declares in favor of the mainten
ance of the present financial policy, and
that means t!:--- maintenance of the policy
in the maimer in which it has been main
tained.
“><>tsn«i Money” 1):/!noil.
If the Ilepublienn policy is to be main
tained, if gold is the only money which is
go->d enoir_:!i to tic used to pay the notes
of the bondholders, t lieu this government
is lob-run by those who believe in that
policy, and must issue bonds in order that
they make m mey out of the people. [Ap-
piaii 'C|. No language, no beautiful ver
biage can cover up its hideous meaiiiug.
Thev tali: about the sound money, hut it
is tho euphonious phrase used by those
who have ie t tho courage to use the real
words describing it. [Applause]. They
talk about honest money. I warn you
that in) people were over competent to
bring homst money who were willing to
tied dishonestly with the people from
whom they expected votes. [Groat ap
plause]. They are not willing to tell the
people what kind of money they mean
;i".;i ic-w much money they want to have.
Oar ooponents are not willing to tell you
licit Uiey think tld.s nation is big enough
to a;ten i to its own business, and yet they
ray we must maintain our present finan
cial policy until the leading nations of tho
earl a join with us in substituting another
financial policy. [Applause].
A voice: •‘How about Bismarck!'”
Mr Bryan: I am glad that you asked
meth.d. Prim e Bismarck is admired by
>dl our G riii'm-American citi/.ms and re
spected by all our people, regardless of
their nationality, and Prince Bismarck
deekuvs that independent notion in this
country will be salutary in bringing other
nut ions to adopt bimetallism. [Great ap
plause]. And I commend his words to
lhose p ople living in the United States
v. l-o believe that we cann >t secure foreign
acti n by waiting for it. Ho says we can
sewc it best, by taking the lead and let
othei - follow; still s me of otir Americana
say that other nations must take tho lead
an 1 that we will folio,-r.
IVojilo " ant Mere Silver.
Our opponent:: tell us that if we have
the free coinage of silver that wc are go
ing to have a flood of silver. 1 vent ure the
I's rrtion that, the people in this audience
arc more accustomed fo silver than gold
[Applause] and a great many of them
would rather be more accustomed to sil
ver t! in they have been. [Applause], If
t e r is anybody here who is afraid that
under free coinage we would have more
money thun we knewwli.at to do with, I
would like to see him. [Applause], lam
w illing to give tlio Republican ticket the
votes of those who have had too much
money if 1 can have those who have not
ha t enough. [Applause],
My friends, our opponents have been
trying t > appeal for the votes of the labor
ing men. I will call your attention to tho
fn t that tlio laboring men of this coun
try. through their organization, have de
clared in favorof the free coinage of silver,
because the laboring men know flint tlio
gold standard destroysopportnnity of em-
pl ivm int and that tlio gold Standard
makes idle men, w ho bog for tho ehnneo
to work in order to support tin-ir families.
Our opponents propose a rising stand-
itr l.adoilar that goes higher every day,
and ti.at means hard times. 1 chailengo
you to show when hard times were a ben-
clUtotho laboring classes in the history
of the world. The Republican party pro-
p ses a couiinuance of tho financial policy
th-.t- makes hard times. All those who
lave liard times ought to vote for the Re
publican ticket, mid nil thus'* who are
tired of hard times have got to vote for
our ticket if they expect any relief. [Ap-
plans-1.
My Ii lends, for your benefit and my
o " ii. I cannot speak longer. [Cries of
••Keep it up, go on”l. I beg you to make
a business out of polities this year and n>-

The chills and fever ure still doing
their work along the creeks and rivers.
Sammic Strain visited the Broad

yesterday.
S. Ik IL-tcs ntteorJed the meeting

We expect to take a trip to Lock

tlio water in the river is sufficient to

Some of tlio York county Sunday
school will attend the North Pacolet
convention next Sabbath.
Mrs. Thos. J. Estes is still unwell.
She has been sick a long time.
Dr. and Mrs. M.J. Walker,of York-
viile, passed through this section lust
week to attend the funeral of Mrs. A.
A. Srrratt.
Clatid Macomson attended Abing
don Creek yesterday. His girl was
with him.
Prof. Davis Jefferies lias returned
to his school at Union.
Miss Ola Estes, daughter of John
and Susan Estes, was taken sick hut
Thursday and for a time lay speech
less. Dr. McCluncy pronounced it a
case of congestion of the brain. She
gave herself to Christ one week ago
and joined the Presbyterian church.
I made a irip to Rock Hill last
Thursday on business. That Is an
important city and its merchants and
business men spare no means to make
it so.
The weather last week was up usu
ally warm and the thermometer reg
istered !(>2 in the shade at 3 p. m.
Friday.
It is with regret that I missed the
reunion of the Union and Confederate
Veterans at Sliarpsburg, Md., (or An-
tietam) last week. The spirit of
brotherly love novYgrowing between
men who wore the blue and tho gray
is a healthful sign for tho body poli
tic. The men on both sides who have
kept up so much strife between the
sections—North anil South—are those
who didn’t get mad with each other
until all chances to fight- had passed,
consequently they have been a long
time a cooling off.
There is some talk that our minis
ter at Salem, Rev. W. R. Owings, will
be put in the field as an evangelist.
This we regret but the Lord’s work
must go on.
Tho trustees are speaking of mov
ing the Sunnysido school house from
its present site to John II. Wilkins’
thinking that the change will benefit
the public and save something for the
free school funds.
II. T. Estes is getting able to go
about again, lie is using water
from tho sulphur spring which he
thinks is doing him great good.
Martigne Davidson had a severe
spell of sickness last week.
The cotton crop is mostly opened
and iruch of it picked out. The lint
is short, yet the turn out is not gen-
erally satisfactory. The dry weather
is tho cause of it.
Uncle Jeff Hughes don’t seem to
realize that the election is over and
that the candidates have all quit can
vassing. He must be running for an
office that does not come under the
general rules of the primary. What
is it?
□ V friend and comrade has furnish
ed me with a partial roster of Com
pany F, 1’ith South Carolina Regi
ment. That is the very thing we
want lor our history. The list was
printed some years ago, and he has
secured a copy of the roll, about one-
half of tlio company, giving the
casualties, c-tc. Hope he can secure
the other half and turn it over soon.
Flaw, it seems, has quit preaching
and gone into tho poetry business.
He has taken up Col. Sam Jefferies’
trade. Hope ho will succeed as a
poet of the Lkdgkk; but in order to
do so ho should give his mind the
necessary training in mathematics to
enable him to properly space the
syllables in order that the metre will
come out all right. Dr. Douglass
says a poet 1a made up of two Ele
ments—half fool and half devil.
Our friend Bill Wilkersou was sur
prised to find Flaw I’ieker tho kind
of a looking man he is. When Flaw
went to the boat the other day with
his banjo Bill said ho thought be was
one of those banjo-picking tramps
who have so persistently invaded this
country in days gone by. But bo
now says Flaw is no fool, and he en
joyed his visit to the boat very much.
None of our neighbors went to
Charleston last Thursday that I know
of.
Rev. T. J. Brock preached at Abing
don Creek c hurch yesterday. 11 is
subject was “Spiritual life evidenced
in love for tlio brethren. His text
was I John 3: II, "'V,. know that we
have passed from death unto life,
heeausowe love tlio brethren.” This
was his lust sermon there for the
present. Ho expects to attend the
Theological Seminery at Louisville,
Ky., where he expects to prepare
himself for greater usefulness in the
ministry. Ho will ho absent for
about eight months. Mr. Brock Is u
Christian gentleman and u young
man comparatively speaking. He
realizes that to make himself useful
in his calling he should devote the
necessary time to prepare for it. This
is commendable and 1 hope him suc
cess. He has made quite a number
of friends in this community outside
of bis own church members.
The cotton is being picked out very
fast. By the first of October it will
all be open.
A suspicious scamp called at the
house of one of our friends and res
pectable neighbors, John H. Fowler,
one night last week, I am told, and
made some inquiries as to the roads
leading in certain directions. When
Mrs. Fowler told him as best she
could he gave her lo understand that
ho knew better than she did. Mr.
Fowler himself was at church at the
time and consequently the gentle
man, if he be, was allowed to pass on.
Now if our families are to be insulted
or frightened by professional vaga
bonds and tramps this community
will awal^e some morning to find
somebody roosting afiiTO cut! of a
rope tied to a limb of a tree. Ours
are the most law-abiding people in
the State, but don’t arouse them.

“For 19 years l suffered from heart trou
ble. During that time I was treated by
flvo different physicians. All of them
claimed that I could not be cured. I was
greatly troubled with shortness of breath,
palpitation and pain in tiio side. If I be
came excited, or exerted myself in the least,
the pain in my side became very severe. At
times it seemed as though needles ucrcshoot
ing through my side. Sometime in tho month
of November last, I commenced taking
DR. MILES' HEART CURE
and since then I have improved steadily.
I can now sleep on my left side, something I
