DRAWING TO AN END.
PROCEEDINGS OP INVES
TIGATION COMMITTEE
TODAY.
The penitentiary investigation has
aboutpetered oat, in so far as sensa
tional disclosures are concerned, and
the examination this morning was
perety of an agricultural nature for
the most part.
There was a quantity of matter
brought oat as to the cost of raising
oats, coro, hogs and cattle, etc.
This leads a spectator to ask whether
there was a farmers' institute being
held. AH .his matter is dall and
uninteresting tc the genera! public,
but it doubtless sas its bearing in
the Sea) determination of what has
been and has not been accounted for.
The investigating committee met
this morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. G.
Fitzsimmons was called and testified
that his company had shipped 200
worth of cotton seed meal io Senator
Tilman on Colonel Neal's order.
The transaction, he said, was through
Colonel Neal, but it was charged to
Senator Tillman.
Colonel Marshall was called apon
to- testify as to his contract with the
penitentiary and as to how much
electricity was used fr^the hosiery
mill It was more of a technical ex
amination as to ' horse power7' and
electricity in general than anything
.tee
Mr Magill, manager of the Be
Saussure farm, testified as to the
amount of corn, etc., made, number
of hogs raised and the disposition.
The examination went extensively
into the amount of feed necessary to
feed bog, horses etc
It was made cot. that about 4.500
bushels of grain had been used,
the estimate of the amount made was
6,000 bushels. Bat this was a mere
approximation and Mr. Magill said
be bad made the estimate. He said
be was in no contest to see whether
he could beat any other manager.
Mr Magill went into details as to the
disposition of products, etc ._
The committee went to the Caro
lina bank for the parp se of examin
ing Colonel Jones as to Colonel Neals
transactions with the bank:
The committee will go to the state
farm tomorrow-Colombia Record

Smallpox at Leesville
Dr E J. Etheridge, of Leesville,
writes to Governor McSwecney that he
thicks smallpox is io that town and
wants Dr. Evans to come there and
investigate Leesville is but two miles
Creta Batesburg. Wheo Dr. Evans
recently went to investigate there, he
did not find any cause for alarm, but
gav9 proper instructions for the people
to act npoD. The same thing will
probably be done as to Leesville.

Constabulary Reduced.
GOV. MCSWEENEY CUTS
FORCE DOWN TO
THIRTY-FOUR.
Gov. McSweeney is known as a
friend of toe dispensary law. He
has supported it as possibly the best
solution of the liquor question. At
the same time be bas bad his own
views as to the manner of its enforce
ment He bas felt that it should be
enforced as other laws are enforced
. Since be bas assumed the duties of
governor he has been looking more
carefully into the law and the manner
of its enforcoment. Particularly has
he inquired into the constabulary
feature of the law. He has endeavor
ed to ascertain the cost of the con
stabulary and to determine if it were
not possible to reduce expenses along
this line.
After mature deliberation and a
thorough and careful canvass of the
whole situation from tbe business
standpoint he has decided to reduce
the constabulary force and yesterday
afternoon notified 25 of the 59 con
stable that their services would be
dispensed with after the 17th, to
morrow.
In taking this step, it was given
out from the governor's office yester
pay that there were no charges
against the men dropped, nor did the
governor mean it to be understood
by bis action that he considered any
of the men inefficient, but carrying
out his ideas of business he believed
the law could and would be en
forced just as efficiently with 84 men
as it bad been with 59, and he would
by this reduction save $1,750 a
month in this one matter of ex
pense.
In this position he has the hearty
endorsement of7 the State board of
control. The constabulary has been
costing the State from $50,000 to
$60,000 a year. In May the consta'tr
ulary cost $4,200 in round numbers.
This one reduction will save to the
State about $20,000 a year.
The governor confident!}' expects
and asks that every officer in South
Carolina shall assist in the enforce
ment of the dispensary law just as
every other law, and he hopes that
every county officer and every muni
cipal officer, whether he be sheriff or
mayor or magistrate or constable
shall lend his aid and influence to the
enforcement of the dispensary law.
If Ibis is done it may be possible to
further reduce the force. Not only
so, he says, but he shall expect every
g56d and law-abiding citizen to do
bis patt He hopes there wi il be no
friction or trouble in the enforcement
of this law or any other law.-The
State, June 16
THE NEW LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR.
Yesterday morning the Hon R. B
Scarborough of Horry county, who
by virlure of his position as president
protem, of the Senate, and the ele
vation of the former lieutenant gov
ernor of the office of governor, be
comes lieutenant governor, arrived in
the city * He had not up to that time
taken the oath a3 required by the
constitution
At 10 o'clock Senator Scarborough
went to the State capital and pro
ceeded to take the oath of office
before Col. . R. Brooks, clerk of
the State supreme court. Having
done so he signed it in duplicate,
one copy being left in the office of
the secretary cf the secretary of

volves upon him of issuing a writ of
election for the election of his succ s
sor as senator He aiso has to issue
a writ for an election in Lexington
county to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the ejection of Senator Griffith as
superintendent of the State peniten
tiary.
It is a noteworthy fact that Gover
nor McSweeney and Lieutenant Gov
! ernor Scarborough are tho only two
' men who have fiiied these officers
to 6ign the oath after taking it, thus
fulfilling the constitutional provision

no record appears of any preceeding

General Order No 43.
At a meeting of Camp Hampton,
No. 389, . C. V .held June 2, the
following resolutions were adopted :
Resolved, That Comrade W. D
Starling be appointed a committee of
one to conder with a eimilar commit
tee from other camps of the State, at
the annual reunion in July, the 20th,
with the object of amending the
pension laws, so as to prevent the
gross imposition now practiced, and
make the law what it should be, a
provision for only deserving Confed
erate soldiers and their widows.
"That the adjutant of this camp be
instructed to communicate with Gen
C Irvine Walker, commanding South
Carolina division, United Confederate
Veterans, requesting him to cali upon
every camp of Confederate veterans
in this State to appoint one delegate
to meet in convention, at Chester, on
July 25 next, to consider the
injustice complained of in the admin
istration of the State appropriation,
"so that such legislation may be
suggested as will correct the alleged
evil"
The divission commander is not in
formed of the abuse complained of,
nor of the remedies proposed.
Tho matter of pensions to the suf
ferers of the Confederacy is one of
the deepest ioterest to all comrades
of this division It is, therefore,
commended to the attention of the
division, and the division commander
cheerfully calls upon each camp to
appoint 0De delegate, to confer with
the delegate from Camp Hampton,
and suggest any action it may be
deemed wise for the division at its
convention to take to better the ad
ministration of the laws, and to
benefit our worthy comrades who are
deserving pensioners of the Stats.
The time and place of the meeting
will be announced during the con
vention
The camps will appoint the dele
gate as soon as possible, and each is
requested to study the operation of
the law in his neighborhood, and the
whole subject of pensioning as it
exists in the State, and be prepared
to suggest any-improvements which
may be found necessary. There is
no higher duly devolving upon the
Confederate veterana tbau the care of
these true and noble sufferers.

ble was prevented A mob is in
pursuit of Phillips and a lynching

Greenville, S. C , June 15.-The
sale of county bouc3 today reflects
most favorably upon the good stand
ing of Greenville county. Under an
act passed last winter to fund the
floating indebtedness of the county,
the county commissioners were au
thorized to issue bonds to the amount
of 32,000 bearing four per cent,
interest and to run 20 years Bids
were opened this morning and the
bonds were sold to Thackston, Fur
man & Co ai a premium of $325.
which is equivalent to 101 for the
bonds This is certainly a good
showing for Greeville county, and is
perhaps the best sale of a four per
cent, bond yet made in the State.
Raleigh, N. C., June 15.-A special
te The News and Observer from More

nobody was seen. It is supposed that
when the mob found on Wednesday
morning tbat they were followed. ib y
bid Patrick on Dog island and kept

ported that ia order to save bis neck,
the negro implicated other parties, but
the lynching party thought be was
lying and gave no weigbt to bis words.
