(Columbia State.) Maj. John Black will not be re moved from his position as director of the State dispensary. Gov. Hey ward had named yesterday as the time for Maj. Black to appear in per son or through his attorney and pre sent his answer to the citation pre pared by the attorney general. Mr. W. B. Gruber, brother-in-law of Maj. Black and leading attorney for the defendant ,in this action, handed to the governor a letter from Maj. Black. Upon reading this Gov. Heyward said: ‘‘I will take the re sponsibility on my shoulders as gov ernor to dismiss the rule to show’ cause. I win notify the investigating commiUee in a cbmmunication which I will give to the papers later.” The investigating committee w’as not represente} at the hearing. Mr. Lyon, of course, did not want to ap pear and the rest of the commUtee had not designated any member to represent them, as was done in the case of Mr. Parker before the su preme court. Following is Maj. Black's letter: Columbia. S. C., June 12, 1906. To His Excellency. D. C. Heyward, Governor, .Columbia, S. C, Deer Sir: I wish to present to you and through you to the members of the dispensary investigating commit tee the following statement in ref erence to the difficulty betwen Mr. J. Fraser Lyon and myself, w’hich matter has been referred to yo*. A few minutes before my encoun ter with Mr. Lyon I had received in formation that my private affairs, these affairs having no connection with my office, were being probed in to and that private matters w’ould be brought out in the course of the in vestigation and would be presented in an entirely erroneous, unwarrant ed and harmful light. The receipt of such information naturally caused me to become greatly indignant and happening at this moment to see Mr. Lyon I was swayed by sudden heat and passion and I used language and assumed an attitude which, how ever great I conceived the provoca tion to be. was not justified in the circumstances and which I regret. I had no purpose to be in con tempt of the dispensary investigating committee, nor to offer such commit tee any indignity, nor to obstruct the committee in any legitimate investi gation. To this end I beg to submit this statement, and regret the occur rence. Very respectfully, (Signed) John Black. Upon receipt of this letter Gov. Heyward wrote to the investigating committee as follows: Hon. J. T. Hay, Chairman Dispensa- arv Investigating Committee. Co lumbia, S. C. 'Dear Sir: In further reference to the Lybn-Bl^ck encounter, which matter was referred to me by your committee, I beg to make the fol lowing statement: Acting upon the opinion of the attorney general your committee gave me sworu affidavits in this case on June 7th and on June 9th the necessary papers wefre served on Mr. Black, directing him to appear before me to show cause why he should not be removed from office. The hearing was held at mv office today, no one attending but Messrs W. B. Gruber and P. H. Nelson, coun sel for Mr. Black. The Hon. W. B. Gruber at this hearing handed me a communication from Mr. Black, by me to be transmitted to you, at the request of Mr. Balck. I beg to hand you herewith a copy of this communication as requested, in which Mr. Black purges himself of contempt of your committee. Acting upon this statement I have dismissed the rule to show cause why Mr. Black should not be re moved from office. Respectfully. D. C. Heyward, Governor.

A dispatch from Charlotte Sunday night says: With remarkable cour age Miss Pearle~Jones, night lo^g distance telephone operator at Sel ma. this State, shot and fatally wounded a negro brute, who, bv his own confession, had premeditated an assault upon her. Miss Jones heard noise outside her office at midnight and seized her pietol went out to investigate. As she stenned outside the negro. Bud Anderson, at tacked her and she promptly fired five times, mortally wounding her assailant and then returned to her work. Anderson made a death bed confession, implicating another, who was arrested and jailed. The people hre highly excited, and trouble is feared. Admiring citizens have raised a fund with which to pur chase Miss Jones a gold mounted revolver and gold medal. Selma, N. C., June 13.—For the present at least, the killing of the negro, Bud Richardson, by the brave little telephone operator, Miss Pearl Jones, of this place, is a closed in cident and the ratter will be left to rest until the September term of the Superior Court for this county. So far as Miss Jones is concerned it is a thing of the past, this as the result of the coroner’s jury having com pletely exonerated her. The coroner arrived here about 10 o’clock this morning and proceeded with the case by driving the jurors to the house where the negro lay a corpse to per sonally view’ the body. After this had been done they met in the town hall to hear the evidence bearing upon the case, which was a practical re hearsal of the preliminary hearing given the two negroes Sunday after noon with the exception of the exam ination of Miss Jones by the Jurors. When she entered the room every eye was fastened upon her and re mained there until she was excused and left the building. This within it self seemed sufficient to unnerve her. Instead, her walk was as steady as a soldier and she was as composed as if she had been on duty, shut out from the searching stares Ql the mul titude of curiosity seekers. Her voice was peculiarly steady and dis tinct and, being both graceful and' good looking, she completely, capti vated the crowd, many of whom had never seen her before. She told her story deliberately, using good lan guage, and impressed every one pres ent with her candor and sincerity. Among other things she said she had anticipated the possibility of such an attack and had prepared herself with a pistol, which she kept by her side constantly when she was on du ty and always in her hand when she was moving from one room to an other. On this particular night when, she opened the door she thought she could hear something bfit could see nothing until she fired the first shot just to be sure. When she saw Rich-* ardson crouched in the corner she continued the firing until she was out of cartridges. She said certainly she shot to hit and would have been very sorrv if he had escaped. As it turned out, she has no remorse npr nothing to regret. She was excused and the evidence closed. The Jury, like the goat, had already voted and the foreman immediately wrote the following verdict: ‘‘North Carolina, Johnston county, Selma Township, in the matter of Bud Richardson, deceased, verdict: “We. the coroner’s jury summoned and sworn to make inquisition into the death of Bud Richardson, by whom produced and when and where, after consideration of the evidence heard by us, find that the death of the said Bud Richardson was caused by a shot fired from a pistol in the hands of one Pearl Jones, who un doubtedly fired the sh(ft in the de fense of her honor, for which act this jury heartily commends her.

Judge Hydrick Says Grog Shops Must Remain Open. Columbia, June 13.—Judge Hyd rick handed dow n his decision in L. E. Wright vs. Ed. L. Jones, in which he reversed the decision of the State board of canvassers. This case was a proceeding grow ing out of the dispensary election in I-aurens county, held on the 9th day of January. 1906, under the Brice law In this election the majority of votes as counted wag in favor of no dispen sary. A protest was filed before the count/ board by Mr. Wright and the countv board held that as so many irregularities existed and no legal election had been held and declared the one held void and of no effect. Both the dispensary and the anti- dispensary sides appealed to the State bohrd The State board found certain irregularities to have existed as a matter of fact in this election, but they held that as no fraud was charged or shown to exist, the elec tion should be held as valid and the decision of the county board was ac cordingly reversed and the dispen sary must close. x A writ of certiorari was obtained from Judge Hydrick and argued be fore him on the 26th day of April, in Columbia. He has sustained the ground of the petition that inasmuch as this irregularity did exist after the production of required registration certificates and proof of payment of taxes, no valid, election was held, and consequently reversed the State board and sustained th« oosition taken by the county board.

Miller, a former Columbian, is very badly mistaken or others are. Mr. Miller says it was his understand ing as a corporation that the Caroli na Glass company was to givje a bunch of its stock to members of the board or control. Mr. Miller says he withdrew from the committee and therefore whether the stock was given or not he does not know. He had knowledge on this score, and when Mr. Lyon heard of Mr. Miller’s connection with the Carolina Glass oompainv he went to Alabama and got this affidavit: Personally appeared Brevard D. Miller, who being duly sworn, de- poseth and sayeth that up to some time in 1902, he was for some time previous living in the city of Colum bia. so. being at'that time connected with Granby cotton mills, of that city during the time of his residence there, and developed the idea and was one of the promoters in the or ganization of the Carolina Glass company, being associated in the or ganization of this glass company with John J. Seibels, Thomas Taylor, Jr.. W. G. Childs and E. G. Seibels. The incorporators of the Carolina Glass company, realizing that the business of the State dispensary would be an advantage, and insure the success of the company, ap proached H. H. Evans and L. J. Wil liams, then directors of the State dis pensary, with the offer to sell them a certain amount of stock of the Carolina Glass company, to be paid for in money at the same price as the stock was sold to other parties. It was understood at this stage of the transaction that the Carolina Glass company was to meet competition prices. Later it was decided by the controlling interests of the Carolina Glass company to give the said H. H. Evans and L. J. Williams a block of this stock in return for which the Carolina Glass company was to be given all or a part of the State dis pensary glass business. About this time, during a conversation between J. J. Seibels and H. H. Evans, in my presence, John Seibels stated |,hat the Carolina Glass Company, ont be ing very strong financially, would not be able to stand for any length of time a cut in prices by its compe titors. if it should be made, to which statement H. H. Evans replied, ‘Ofi, hell! w e are put here to judge the glass!’ When the policy of giving the stock to the directors of the State dispensary was decided on I was not in accord with it. and ob jected to it. Realizing that I was in the minority and not of the incoriior- ators. and that I could not prevent this gift of stock, or such actions as would naturally follow, I withdrew from the company and my interests were taken by other parties. It was my understanding at the time I with drew that this gift of stock was to be made to W. G. Child as trustee foF H. H. Evans and L, J, Williams. It was my understanding up to the time of my, decision to withdraw from the Carolina Glass company that the Carolina Glass company was to meet competitive prices and that the directors of the State dispensary were to be sto^holders on the same basis as the incorporators, whereyis, this gift of stock to which I objected, would give thd Inference that the Carolina Glass company would be favored by the directors of the State dispensary. At a meeting of the incorporators of the Carolina Glass company, at which this gift of stock was discussed and from which I withdrew, after resigning my inter ests, I was requested by John J. Seibels to say nothing of my knowl edge of the transactions of the Caro lina Glass company. This I refused to do. It has been several years since the transactions related above occurred, but the same is substan tially as related above. "Brevard D. Miller.” It Hear* Report of Committee on Transportation. There was a business meeting of the Gaffney Commercial Club Wed nesday evening at the club rooms. The principle business was to hear a report from Messrs. A. N. Wood and W. C. Hamrick, the committee ap pointed to attend the State Traffic Association meeting at Greenville a couple of weeks ago. Mr. Wood, as chairman of the committee, presented the following report: June 7, 1906. To the President and Members of The Commercial Club. Gaffney, S. C. Gentlemen: W. C. Hamrick and I were delegated by the committee on transportation to go to Greenville. S. C., on May 29th, by invitation.of the board of trade of that city, for the purpose of organizing a traffic asso ciation for better passengier and freight service, and we wish to report that we met a very representative and enthusiastic bodv of men from all over the State, numbering from 100 to 125, and a traffic association was formed, with the following officers: L. W. Parker, of Greenville. S. C., President: R. G. Rhett, of Charleston, 1st vice-president: R. W. Shand, of Columbia. 2nd vice-president, W r . E. Burnette, of Spartanburg. 3rd vice- president; F. H. McMaster, of Co lumbia, secretary: W. J. Thackston, of Greenville, publicity secretary, E. B. Clark, of Columbia, treasurer; also fifteen directors from different parts of the State. Committees were ap pointed to confer with different rail roads as to better passenger and freight service. T was appointed on a committee to confer with the proper authorities of the A. & C. division of the So ithern to induce them to put on an extra train going to and retuminf., from Charlotte, between 36 and "2, and between 11 and 35. We as .ed for this train to run from Tocc Kl. Ga., passing Greenville, S. C., ab"ut 8 A. M. . which would make it 1 iss this place about 9:30 to 10, return ng. leav ing Charlotte from 5:30 to *i P. M., passing here about 7 to ':30 and Greenville about 8:30 P. M, These matters are all to come up again at a meeting of the association which is to meet in Columbia on July 3rd at 4 P. M. I w:ili say right here that I was elected as one of the fifteen directors and . expect to attend the meeting in Columbia. It was urged that all commercial clubs, boards of trade, and '’hambers of commerce join this association as a whole. In this case the fee would be $1.00 each, but as individuals $2.00 each, and we recommend that th# commercial club of this place send to E. B. Clark, treasurer, the fee. anc that we become a member as a club, as we believe that great good wil come of this traffic association. itespectfullv submitted, A. N. Wood. Chairm. Transportation Com. Dr. W. C. Hamrick then made a very enthusiastic speech, in which he depicted in excellent style the good that might be derived from this State Railroad Association and was partic ularlv eloquent concerning the great benefits Gaffney might derive from it. Other routine business was trans acted, but much was left undone be cause of the small attendance. It might be well to state just here that if the Gaffney Commercial club ever expects to attain the purpose for which it was organized the member ship must realize the importance of attending the business meetings of the club.

Till man will begin his South Carolina campaign July 7th. at Sandy Flat, in Greenville county, and win be at all of the regular State campaign meet ings until August, after which time he will be gone from the State more or less unth late in the fall. He has made contracts to deliver lectures in different parts of the United States that will occupy practically all of his time from then on until winter. These lectures win begin with that at Pat terson Springs, 111., on July 4. It is his purpose to go the”- on the day named whether congress has ad journed or not. He believes, howev er. that a final adjournment will be had by July 1. Discussing the matter of his con tracts today, Senator Tillman said that he expected to make as much out of them as he would out of his salary, and that after he left the reg ular campaign party in August he would not be able to join it again. Th# Western States will be the chief places that Senator Tillman will visit during the summer and fal\ Senator Tillman win leave Wash ington the second or third of July for Patterson Springs, 111., to address the people of that place on the race prob lem. He hag both that subject and the railroad rate question in mind, but he thinks it probable that the first mentioned subject would be more entertaining to the people of Illinois than the latter and will doubt less speak to them on that subject. Senator Tillman’s speeches hereto fore on the race question have drawn large crowds. He has delivered many su<*i in different sections of the North and West and wherever he has goiy; he has met large audiences, 4 Numbers of invitations ha’;* rrtrT1 p to Senator Tillman to "g J other Places and make spee^ es after tbe adjournment of co Lgress but he hag invariably deemed them all for the reason that he wants to put in all his spare time In South Carolina. He will be unable to go to Charleston on the 2<>th of this month to be present at the campaign meeting there, as con gress will not adjourn until after that date and he is anxious to remain here until the close of the session. The Senator wag asked for an opin ion concerning the matter of mem bers of the dispensary investigating board having received double pay during the time the legislature was in session and he was asked what he thought ought to be done under the circumstances. He replied that it would first be necessary to prove the charge before he would care to ex- nress an opinion concerning the ques tion, but he frankly admitted that the attitude of the members of the committee who have been charged with that act is anything but good in the public eye. “If the members of the committee," he says, “can show any right to receive double pay they ought, beyond all doubt, to do so; if, on the other hand, such double pay was not received then they ought to be relieved of the suspicion that rest* upon them.” “The whole truth now is.” contin ued the Senator, “that there is a crowd of sneaks in the State trying to kill the dispensary at all hazards, and while it may not be wholly pos sible to hold the present investiga tion down to the strict rules of law in the matter of evidence, I think a great deal is admitted that onlv causes a waste of time and work that ends in no good result.” No Cure, No Pay. How Gaffney Drug Co. Sell Hyomel, the Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh. Gaffney Drug Qo. have an unusual offer to make to our readers, one that will be of the greatest value to many. For some years they have been watching the results from the use of Hyomei, a treatment for catarrh that cures by breathing medicated air, ab solutely without any stomach dosing. The results have been 00 universally succ&sful that they feel justified in making a public offer to treat the worst case of catarrh in Gaffney with the understanding that if Hyo mel does not cure, the treatment will cost absolutely nothing. People who have spent large sums with catarrh specialists, deriving but little benefit, or the many who have swallowed stomach remedies in the vaid hope of curing catarrh, have ex perienced almost immediate relief from the use of Hyomei. while the continued treatment for a short time has resulted in a complete and lasting cure. The regular Hyomei outfit costs only one dollar, and consists of a neat pocket inhaler that can be carried in the purse or vest-pocket, a medicine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei. If this is not enough for a cure, extra bottles of Hyomei can be obtained I’or 50 cents. Gaffney Drug Co. positively guar antee a cure, if Hyomei is used in ac cordance with directions, or they will refund the'money. —We carry a complete line of Trusses, for all ages and sizes, slagla Subscribe for Th# Ledger; fl a yaar. and double.
