McSweeney by Senator Manning and the oe embers of the House is self-explanatory, giving the result of tbe investigation of the charges against Magistrate G. McD Barrett, of Bisbopviile, and the reasons for recom? mending bis reinstatement by the governor : Sumt&r, S C . Nov 29, 1899. Hon. M. B. Mcsweeney, Governor, Colum? bia, S. C. : Sir : Io compliance with your request the Sumter County delegation today met for the purpose of considering a recommendation with reference to the reinstatement of G. M. Barrett, as magistrate of the ?th Magisterial District for Sumter Couoty, or the appoint? ment of a successor. As you requested, the citizens of that sec? tion of the couoty were given ample oppor? tunity to express their withes in tbe matter. We considered tb? fact that the grand jury bas not found a "true bill" against Mr. Bar? rett as seems to be contemplated in Section 22, Article IV, of the Constitution of 1895. as tbe basis of actioo io such esses, which section ie as follows : "Whenever it ehall be brought to the notice of tbe governor by affidavit that an officer who bas tbe custody of public or trust funds is probably guilty of embezzlement or ibe appropriation of public or trust funds to private use, theo the gover? nor shall direct bis inmediate prosecution by the proper officer, and upon true bill found the governor shall suspend such officer and appoint in bis stead, until be shall bave beeo acquitted by the verdict of a j?ry., In case of conviction the office shall be declared vacant and the vacancy filled as may be pro? vided by law. ' We also considered toe fact that tbe larger number of petitioning citizscs interested express tbeir confidence in Mr. Barrett and requested bis restoration to office, we, therefore, respectfully recommend that be be reinstated.

I am very pleased to state that since I took the agency of Chamberlain's medicines the sale bas been very large, more especially of the Cough Remedy, lo two years I have sold more of this particular remedy than of all other makes for the previous five years. As to its tfScacy, I have been informed by scores of persons of the good results they have re? ceived from it, aod know its value from the use of it in my own household. It is so pleas? ant to take that we have to place tbe bottle beyond the reach of the children. E. J. Scantlebury. For sale by A. J. China. ARBOR DAY EXERCISES.

The County Beard of Commissioners met yesterday witb Supervisor Dorn and Com raissiocers, Jenkins, McLeod, Scarborough, McNeill and Rhodes iresent. Action on the proposed road in Bishopville township was postponed until the next meeting so as to give Mr Rodgers au oppor? tunity to appear before the Board and state bis objections Messrs. Altamont MOS?S, R. D. Lee and R. T. Manning, a committee from the Business League, presented petitions for opening a road across Black River from the McBride place to the Plowdeo Mill road, and also filed an assignment of right of way for said road. The committee suggested the appointment of a special committee from the County Board to ascertain tbe cost of opening the road and the best route. Mr. R. C. McFaddio v;as present and made various objections to the road, and asked the board to make baste slowly. He said that parties in Concord are opposed to the road and coold get up a counter petition against opening it. The board considered the petition and on motion a committee, consisting of commis? sioners Rhodes, McNeill and Scarborough, was appointed to make the required investi? gation as to the location of the road and the cost of the same; also to employ a surveyor to make estimate and fiod the best route. Maj. H. F. Wilson presented a petition from many citizens, asking that the salary of L E White, overseer of the cham gang be raised to $50 a month. Mr. R. I. Manning presented a petition for opening a road from o d Lodebar road to Providence road, about 1} miles in length.

Hugbson & Co. Licenses for Selling Malt. Retail dealers are oooplosed b7 a notice that has jast been received from Collector Webster euiliog on them for the payment of a back license for dealing in malt. The no? tice reads that $60 must be paid, which is the license and penalty for two years, ending June 30, 1900. The drug men did uot know j they were liable for a license, much less pen? alty, aod several attorneys have been secured j to look into the case The license, judging from the contents of the notice, is $20 a year and the penalty is $10, making a total of $60 for the two years. The druggists think that the law ie a new one, only two years old, of which they b? vs never been notified, or oth? erwise the bill would have been much larger. The notice states that the $60 is due from Mr. Slaok, "retail dealer in malt liquor." The druggists ciaim that they are not retail dealers io malt liquors, but b?ndle malt a3 a medicine, not as a beverage One of the druggists made this poiot in a letter to Mr. WeDster-. and that gentleman replied that, such oeing the case, be had no doubt tbe money i would be refuoded Tb* druggists, knowing the slowness with which Uncle Sam reimburses people for overcharges and mis? takes, 8re loath to pay at all. One of the Charleston druggists said yesterday : . "Why, we don't sell maltas i beverage. I dare say a bottle of it was never sold and drank in a drug store It is usually sold to invalids, mothers and people who have become run down ihrough worry or over? work. It is true that there is alcohol in malt, but if you take alcohol away from the drug business you destroy it entirely.
