The sur? geon who wrote the letter had ao op portonity to examine the dead as well as the wounded and be writes to Dr. Yan Reypen oo tbe subject as follows : "The wound of exit is an entirely different wound from that made by the Lee (rifle).

His county had never before asked for a State office Gan Walter Gray ridiculed Thomas' ides as to qualifications for member? ship on tba railroad commission, sod claimed fitness ss s business man.

Mr. Featherstone, who has enter? ed the rac? for governor on the Pro hibition platform, has sent ont for publication the following 'open let 1er " j am determined that the prohib? Lion fight eball be made iu this State. 1 know that prohibition can and will win if ito friends all over tbe State will rally to its support. 1 have attended three of the campaign meet? ings and have been well received at each I am much encouraged, and starting at Sumter next week I shall, Providence permitting, be at every meeting in the campaign to ?vage the war. I need not say that I am mak? ing the fight at a great personal sacri See, but 1 am conscious that i am in the line of duty-am fighting for what I believe is right And, by the help of God, I am going to win. I call upon our friends ai! over the State to organize the work in their respective counties Organize by townships and hare a prohibition campaign in each comity, in addition to the regular political campaign Get your speakers from your own or neighboring counties Get men wbe have the nerve and backbone to m ak o the fight to the finish. By the exer? cise of earnest effort and good judg ment three fourths of the counties in South Carolina can be carried for pro? hibition I also urge our friends to attend the State campaign meetings. Come ont and give me a warm shake of the hand 'I have mace up my mind to make the fight against any and all odds, but your presence wil! cheer and help me We hsve a majority of the voters of South Carolina, but some of our friends are weak kneed and will not express their views. Surely the God fearing people are not going to be kept from doing their duty by the sneers of politicians If so, God save our State. I call upon the ministers to preach prohibition from their pulpits and in private conversation. You cannot afford to do otherwise. I call upon tho good women in South Carolina to exercise their in fiuence, and I know that I eball not call in vain Your influence will tell Use it, then, for aU it is worth Give me your prayers ; work as well as pray, and we will win the fight. Very truly yours, C. C Featherstone. Board of Control and Hotel Permits. FULL TEXT OF THE RES? OLUTIONS ADOPTED YESTERDAY. Whether there will be a clash be? tween tbe executive and the State board of control in the matter of the hotel dispensaries a short time per? haps will tell The governor ordered all such places closed on June 15, and since that date they bave ceased to sell any liquors The State board, at its meeting yesterday morning, through a resolution introduced by Mr. L J. Williams, tells the hotel people that if they "do not wish to discontinue business this board will not interfere/' except as indicated in a former reso? lution. . The plain feet of the wrole thing is that the State board of control thinks that the entire operating of the dispensary law in all of its details has been placed in their sole charge, both by the statute and the constitution of tbe State, while the governor is of the opinion that by virtue of bis office he bas certain authority in the man sgement of the dispensary which the State board cannot take from him. The resolution passed yesfcerdsy simply means that according to the board's idea the hotels, or st least those that have not abused the privil ege granted them, have s right and the sanction of the board of control to continue the sale of liquors, under the permits granted them Acting nuder these resolutions the hotels will probably open up their dispen? saries again This plan, should it be adopted, will then be combstted by the governor, which will throw the who^ question in the courts and be left by them to be settled. This is whst the board of control desires, as there is likely to be con tinned friction until it is decided whose authority in dispensary mat tera is absolute-the governor's or the board of control's. The members of the board say that before issuing any hotel permits they bsd the advice of the attorney gene eral that this right was theirs, and they now feel that the courts, if the sase should get to them, will so de? cide \ The resolution as passed at y ester day *8 meeting is as follows : Whereas tbe governor did order closed all hotel dispensar iee on June I5?h, and Whereas this board did grant said privileges under and by virtue of au? thority of the 21 st section of the dis penaary law, and whereas we still feel authorized nuder the law to grant said privileges, and wheres* we resorted to the exercise of said rights in order to enable us to mote successful I j com bat the ill effects of Judge timon Lon's decisions, and as the supreme sooft has reversed Simonton. and in defieren ce to the expressed wishes of | the governor, we did pass a resolu? tion at our last regular meeting giv ing said hotels 60 days in which to reduce their stock and to show that they came strictly under the provis ions of the law as tourists' hotels, or lave their permits revoked, .Therefore to relieve them of any lardship that might befall them by 'eatton of the action of the governor, Resolved, That if any of the hotels lolding such privileges and not under charges of violation of law should lesire to surrender same, the com nissiouer is hereby authorized to re seive back their stock and give them ! credit fur same ; and if any of those loteis holding permits, and not under charges of violation of law, do not 1 vish to discontinue business, this ? >oard will not interfere except inso ar as indicated by resolution passed it the last regular meeting and refer ed to above * The board then adjourned to meet it ll a. m on July 4, instead of the ! )th of July, the regular day -The State.

BABY'S SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter Tells all about Her Troubles when Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores. " At the age of two months, my baby began to have sores break out on his right cheek. We used all the external ap? plications that we could think or hear of, to no avail. The sores spread all over one side of his face. We consulted a physi? cian and tried his medicine, and in a week the sore was gone. But to my surprise in two weeks more another scrofulous look? ing sore appeared on baby's arm. It grew worse and worse, and when he was three months old, I began giving him Hood's Sarsaparilla. I also took Hood's Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle was finished, ?he sores rere weil and have never returned. He is now four years old, but he has never had any sign of those scrofulous sores since he was cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, for which 1 feel very grateful. My boy owes his good health and smooth; fair skin to this great med? icine." MES. S. S. WROTEN, Farming? ton, Delaware.
