Til? Members Adopt a Rule i4Tliat They Will Not Discuss Cases Outside of the Meetings. Columbia, March 15.-The State board of pardons met yesterday and organized with Mr. R. Mays Cleveland as president and Mr. R. W. Shand secretary. The other member is Mr. Savage of Colleton. The meeting was spent in making preliminary preparations. Gov. Heyward turned over to the board about 25 applica? tions which have been received since the pardon board was first talked of in the legislature. There * were some which he could not grant, even if re? commended to him by the pardon board, which was improbable, so Gov. Hey ward merely rejected them. The board decided the members will not hear any; arguments in favor of or in opposition to applications for par? don except when they are gathered in meeting. All petitions will be sent to the gov? ernor, as is now done, and after they have been entered on the records, the papers will be referred to the solicitor and to the trial judge, as is now done. The law fixes a, regular time for the board to meet, the first Wednesday in each quarter, and in cases of emer? gency the governor may call the board together or may act in his own discre? tion. The action of the board is not binding upon the governor, but he proposes to be guided by the .good judgment of the members of the board as far as possible. T?E REQUEST BLANKS. Board Will Insist on Their Being Used. The Columbia Record says: The fact that complaint has been raised that it will be impossible for the coun? ty auditors and others to carry out the orders of the State board of dispensary directors with regard to recalling the request blank feature of the law on account of the great increases in the business? is not alarming to the mem? bers of the State hoard. "It is the duty of the State hoard," said Chairman Rawlinson today, "to see that the law is obeyed, and to our minds there is no part of the dispen? sary law so clear and explicit as this part of it. We are going to see that the law is obeyed, regardless of how much extra clerk hire it involves and regardless of how much extra work it entails upon the dispensers. We are not going to do this for the purpose o giving trouble to anybody, but it is clearly our dury to see that the law is obeyed and we are going to do it. *T can find no authority in the law to justify the county boards providing the auditors with extra clerk hire. i' . . ' However, we have nothing to do with this. Possibly the governor will offer i some .solution to the difficulty when he answers the letter of Auditor Gibbes. "We are going to insist not only that the auditor give out these blanks and receive them as the law requires, but we are going to insist that the auditors check up the quarterly re? ports of the dispensers by these re? quests as well. "No, I do not believe that using the request blanks in strict accordance with the law is going to reduce the sales, as ft has been predicted it will do." At Watts's dispensary on Main street over 800 blanks were used the first day the blanks were put back into use with sales amounting to $125. Taking this as a fair average it wi li require about 18,000,000 bianks for the business of the State in a year. It was only an ordinary business day at Watts's place, but the clerks were rushed as if it were Saturday.

Bishop, the Virginia traveling man who was convicted of manslaughter at Charlotte in 1903 and sentenced to the penitentiary for five years. Bishop was calling on the daughter of Thomas Wilson, when Wilson appeared and ordered him to leave the house. Instead of leaving there was a fight in which Wilson was killed. The wife of the prisoner pre? sented the application for pardon. Don't Be Imposed Upon. .Foley & Co., Chicago, originated Honey and Tar as a throat and lung remedy, and on account of the great merit and popularity of Foley's Honey and Tar many imitations are offered for the genuine.

March 13.-Governor Heyward's office was crowded for four hours today with fire insurance agents and representatives of the fire? men of the State, the occasion being the hearing before the governor on the question of his vetoing the act provid? ing for a two per cent, assessment against the gross fire premiums of the State written in incorporated towns whose^fire apparatus is worth $1,000 or more for a benefit fund for the fire? men. The act has created a great stir among the fire insurance agencies and the firemen and the governor's office has been flooded with letters, asking him to veto the bill and others plead? ing with him not to do so. .Governor Heyward patiently listen? ed to many speeches today, but no conclusion was reached^ and he likely will not decide what he will do for i several days yet. Mr. Augustine T. Smythe, of Charleston; Senator Hood, of Ander? son, and Messrs. A. G. Furman and F. T. Hayne, of Greenville,, spoke against the act and Senator von Kol? nitz, of Charleston and President Mc? Neill, of the National Firemen's asso? ciation, spoke in favor V>f it. The in surance people argued that the act was unconstitutional in that it taxed a class for the benefit of a few and argued that it would raise too much anyway and would necessitate raising the rates in the towns affected by it. Mr. McNeill ridiculed the idea thai the act was unconstitutional, claiming thai, practically the identical law as this was now in operation in a number of States. He read from the comp? troller general's report to show that over one hundred million dollars' worth of property was being protected by the firemen in the interests of the fire insurance companies, who last year collected premiums amounting to $1,393,000 and had $660,177 left over after paying all losses. Among the others present at the hearing were President Behrens, of the State association; Chief W. J. May, of Columbia; J. H. "Walker, Bruce W. Ravenel and E. G. Seibels, of Columbia agencies; William Gold^ smith, of Greenville; T. O. Flowers, Chief R. S. Hood of Sumter and S. C. May, of Rock Hill. Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, who be? fore her marriage was Gertrude Van ierbilt, and who has for,several years >een a very industrious 'sculptor, has iccepted from the firm of Warren & Wetmore, who have built the new Ho? tel Belmont, New York, the commis? sion to do much of the designing for the interior decorations of the hotel. Mrs. Whitney took up sculpture as a diversion and has devoted much time to it. ?If you are troubled with piles and can't find a cure, try Witch Hazel salve but be sure you get that made by E. C. DsWitt & Co., of Chicago. It is the original. If you have used Witch Ha? zel salve without being relieved it is probable that you got hold of one of the many worthless counterfeits that are sold on the reputation of the gen? uine Dewitt's Witch Hazel Salve. All druggists. 1 Major Sylvester, chief of police in Washington, is required by law to make annual report to congress show? ing how efficient his force is. This year, as usual, he gives statistics as to arrests and in this department of his report two lines attract attention. The persons arrested are classified as gamblers, pickpockets, tramps, lawless characters, saloonkeepers; etc., but it is said that among the list were "one United States senator" and "two rep? resentatives in congress." Major Syl? vester discreetly refuses to reveal the identity of these distinguished law? breakers. ?One would think the laxative idea in a cough syrup should have been ad? vanced long before it was. It seems the only rational remedy for coughs and colds would be to move the bow? els and clear, the mucous membranes of the throat and mngs vt the same lime.

Burhans, of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes: "About four years ago I wrote you stating thaat I had been en? tirely cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking less than two bottles of Fo? ley's Kidney Cure. It entirely stop? ped the brick dust sediment, and pain and symptoms of kidney disease disap? peared.

I Mi?s?iipman Kazezl Dick Readmitted to Fourth Class After Standing Physical Examination. Annapolis, Md.. March 14.-Hazel H. Dick, of Sumter, S. C.. who resign? ed from the fourth class of midship? men at the Naval Academy a few days arro, because of deficiency in studies, was readmitted today, having passed ihe required physical examination, t ._ HEYWARD-S LAST PARDON. Columbia, March 14.-Governor Heyward's last act in the pardoning line was to release two life term ne? groes from the penitentiary today. The recipients of executive clemency are Richard Gallman, who killed Lee Ai? ken, another negro, at Prosperity on the 11th of September, 1900, and Tine Gray who shot into a negro's house a\ Laurens to scare him and killed him in 1897. The jurors, judges and solic? itors in each case recommended a par? don. Tillmania. We recently had occasion to speak of Senator Tillman's change of atti? tude-and the change of public senti? ment toward him within the past few years. Speaking on the same line, a Washington correspondent says that when Mr. Tillman came to the senate ten years ago he was fitter to be at the head of the committee on "The Five Savage Tribes," but that he has now become more amiable, better tamed, more amenable, and that this ac? counts for his promotion. It will be recalled that during the last Democratic convention in St. Louis there was much friction in the committee on resolutions between Mr. Bryan and the "safe and sane" mem? bers. It was Senator Tillman who came to the rescue and made peace and succeeded in getting a unanimous report. The funny part of the situa? tion finally dawned upon the pitchfork senator from South Carolina, and in talking with some of his friends he en? thusiastically congratulated himself, finally remarking with his usua; em? phasis that he really believed he wa? becoming safe and sane himself. Senator Tillman has had a remark? able career, an outline of which is giv? en in the Sunday issue of the New York- Sun. His father died when he was but two years old, but he had an uncle who took an interest in him as he grew up, and bequeathed to him his large and well chosen library. From the time that he received it Mr. Tillman became a student, and it is said that he is now one of the best read men in Congress. Not long ago he was compelled to take morphine to ease the pain in his throat, upon which several operations were per performed, and while under the in? fluence of the drug he lay back in his bed and repeated line after line and stanza after stanza from Byron, Keats, Shelley, Tennyson, Shakespeare and other English poets-stanzas which he had not read for perhaps twenty years. Mr. Tillman never had the advan? tage of a college education. He was fourteen years of age when the war Between the States broke out, and was sent to an academy to prepare for college, but an abscess formed in the back of his left eye and entirely de? stroyed it. At the age of seventeen he enlisted in the artillery corps of At? lanta, but was never able to go to the front on account of his illness. As soon as he recovered his health he took charge of his mother's large es? tate, a farm of 600 acres, and this he managed until he was elected gover? nor in 1890. He married at 20, and his fellow-student of his farm and all his affairs was his young wife. There are several children, the oldest son being , his private secretary. Mr. Till mad did not hold any office until he was elected governor of South Caroli? na. Five years prior to that he was scarcely known outside of his imme? diate section. The first public speech he ever made was at a gathering ot farmers at Bennettsville, in 1885, when he was 38 years old. But the speech attracted the attention of the whole State, brought him into imme? diate prominence, and since then he has been a conspicuous figure in South Carolina affairs and the leading poli? tician of the State. He is a curious compound. We had not supposed that Mr. Tillman was a literary man. We had not thought of him as a lover of poetry. It had nev? er dawned on us that he was a man of sentiment, yet we are told that he ls not only a lover of poetry, but a lover of flowers! But we like him none the less for it. Tillman and Roosevelt-what an in? teresting pair! And to think that they should be pulling together in political harness. It is ominous? We wot not, brethren. But it's interesting deuced interesting.-Richmond Times. Eczema, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Itch, Ring Worm, Herpes, Barbers' Iitch. ?All of these diseases are attended by intense itching, which is almost in? stantly relieved by applying Chamber? lain's Salve and by its continued use a permanent cure may be effected.
