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. OBTAINED A NEW CHARTER. !

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.” Jud^u Enrle :U Greenville. Gukknvillk. S. C., Sept. 21.—Judge Earle, tho successful candidate for tho democratic senatorial nomination, was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd of his fellow townsmen on his return to his home.

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. Tins Alnhmninn Will Address North Caro linians—Many IMckpockets Arrcstod. Raleigh, Sept. 21.—Tho North Caro lina state committee has arranged that Senators Morgan and Tol er shall each make speeches in this stato two days. 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. Four are in jail at Norfolk, two at Jack- son and ouo here. On those at Norfolk complete pickpockets’ equipments were found Those in jail at Jackson fired on the sheriff when pursued, but ho captured thorn. Tho Populists have nominated A J. Dally for congress in tho Fifth district. The Democrats declare this is done to defeat Mitchen by dividing tho silver voto, and to elect Settle, Republican. WRECK IN CAROLINA. A HruLrinnii Kllli-d and Tlilrtnon Hoxcnr.t Dciiioli»!iud—Ollior Ni-ws. Raleigh, Sept. 10.—Near Colon, -10 miles south of here, a freight train on 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 South Carolina and Georgia commis sions to meet hero next Tuesday with tho North Carolina commission, to be gin a movement for tho settlement by arbitration of the railway rate war now in progress between tho Southern mid the Seaboard Air Lino.

Tim l’coi>lo Want tlio Flnniiolal Tolley of tho Govcrumcut .Settled First of All, Says the Democratic Candidate For the I’resldency—Declares That There Is ^’o 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>- gardl ss of threats ami intimidation to make your ballot represent exactly what you want it to, mid if you need relief and m • not willing to use the ballot to secure relief you have nobody to blame but your- Lclves! [Great applause]. A Tragedy Near Selma. | Sr.i.MA, Ala., Sept. 22.—Richards m Armstrong was shot and almost in stantly killed by Thornton Goldsby, ton milon north of Selma. Tho two men who walking along the public road on- route f> a protracted meeting. Parties near by heard a pistolshot and found Armstrong lying in tho rood with a pi tnl wound in his breast. They lifted him up and he lived just long enough to i i.y: "Thornton Goldsby shot mo.” Goldsby Hod and has not boon captured. Tliciv wore no witnesses to tho tragedy. Tho men have been close friends for a long time. Di-ninnt! T hat Thai-licr Wlilulraw. New Yoke, Sept. 22.—It is announced that John O.

A NEWSY LETTER FROM UNION COUNTY. A Tramp’s Insulting Attitude Towards a Lady is Cause for a Timely Warning to the Gentry. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Etta Jane, Sop. 21.—The equinoc tial gale lias been ushered in with a cool spell this time. The chills and fever ure still doing their work along the creeks and rivers. Sammic Strain visited the Broad River Sunday school in York county yesterday. S. Ik IL-tcs ntteorJed the meeting of Enoree Presbytery at Greenville last week as delegate from Salem. We expect to take a trip to Lock hart Shoals on the bout as soon ns tlio water in the river is sufficient to float it easily. 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. j. l. s. Heart Trouble Quickly Cured. A Convincing Testimonial. ..vxrtt Ino question gACOUT IT.
