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.

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~

MILLINERY OPENING.
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.

Deafness lanoot be Lured
by local applications.as they cannot reach the dis~
eased portion of the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed,Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send tor circulars,
