A negro man, Andrew Johnson, alias Joe Smith, was arrested near Savage several days ago suspected of horse stealing and is now in jail awaiting developments. The suspect is a native of this countv but has been absent for some time. A few days ago he returned to Williamsburg with a good bay horse and a buggy. At Hemingway he gave papers over the horse for a lot of provisions and ordered fertilizer, saying that he was going to Ho thon Hrr?v<? nrnnnrl the 1U1 Ul. AAV VI1VU Vikvt V M. country trying to sell the horse and buggy, until finally arrested. The negro claims that the animal was given to him by Ben Harper, at Stillman, Ga, whose daughter he married several weeks ago. Johnson or Smith has a wife living near Kingstree, and if he is not guilty of horse stealing he guilty of bigamy. Sheriff Graham is trying to locate the real owner of the horse, as the general reputation of the negro warrants the belief that he stole it. With Our Advertisers.

WILLIAMSBURG TO BE "WET", SUPREME COURT DECIDES CONTESTED ELECTION IN FAVOR OF DISPENSARY. Williamsburg county is now added to the dispensary column. Saturday morning the supreme court upheld the action of the State board of canvassers in confirming the county board of Williamsburg county, which declared that the election had [ been won by the dispensary forces August 19, last. The court dismissed the petition of the prohibitionists, which sought to have the election boards reversed and the county kept in the dry column. The opinion of the court was written by Associate Just'ce Hydrick. The court upheld the action of the Williamsburg board in throwing out the boxes at Muddy Creek and Hebron precincts, which changed the face of the returns, which had given a majority of two for those opposing the sale of liquor, into a majority for the dispensary. The votes at these two precincts were thrown out because of irregularities and in this the county board and the State board were sustained by the court. The petition was brought by T W Boyle et al against R M McCown and the State board of canvassers. In the opinion Justice Hydrick reviews the action of the county board in declaring that all protests and contests must be filed on the day when the board first met to canvass the election returns and approves of this course, setting out the necessity for fixing a definite time for filing such protests and further calling at tention to the fact that more than ordinary diligence must be used in contesting an election. The day the board first met to canvass the returns the only contests were against the two boxes subsequently thrown out, and a protest was filed against the Kingstree box, but this was not presented on the day set for hearing the contests. Efforts to file further protests after the date set were made, but all these were overruled by the board and their action sustained by the State board and by annromo AAlirf LUC OUpiLUIL Vvut v. The protest made against J C Kinder and M A Ross by the contestants that they were disqualified from sitting on the board as members was not sustained by the facts presented, said the court. The dispensaries have not been opened in Williamsburg county, pending the outcome of the fight the prohibitionists made against it in the courts. With the decision of the court that the dispensary won, as found by the State board of canvassers, 231 for to 214 against, it is presumed that the machinery will be organized at once and dispensaries opened in this county. The decision in both the Lexington and Williamsburg county cases having been won by the dispensary forces,there is general interest being taken in what the decision in the Sumter county case will be. The State board threw out that election on the ground that the ballots did not conform to the law and the dis~ f a Ka Oil _ ptI15ttI7 lurccs appcaicu w cut oupreme court.

The Magnificent Display of Headgear Attracts Ladles. Yesterday was a great day for the ladies of Kingstree. It was opening day in the millinery departments of the Kingstree Dry Goods Co, Silverman's Department Store and S Marcus' and is said to be the most successful event of the kind ever held. This season's styles are considerably smaller than usual, though surpassingly beautiful in design. At Silverman's we were shown some artistic French patterns, and the unique little Shepardess, in all colors, including the tango and the new blue. The creations by Miss Carrie Pressley were dainty and exquisite. At Marcus' the display of Gage hats, with their various and beautiful trimmings, embracing all the leading styles in germane, tango and September morn, attracted crowds of ladies all day, and many were the praises heard regardnig the elegant display and the exquisite taste shown in the selection of designs and trimmings by Mrs Marcus 3 i in* if: r> t auu ncr manner, xuias i^aruc ui^o. Naturally, the ladies went the rounds. They wanted to see all the hats, because they were interested, and now we find them on the millinery blacony in the handsome store of the Kingstree Dry Goods Co, where they were confronted with a veritable scene of beauty which Miss Mabel Ridenour had arranged for their inspection. Here the styles did dot seem to be at variance with those 3hown at the other stores, to any great degree, but convinced us that for a season at least the bigbrimmed, high-crowned "bonnets" are not in it just now. *#_ tt n n.jj.'j.
