A Negro College.
A a meeting of the Negro Baptist
State convention held in Aiken. S. C.,
on last week it was unanimously de
cided by the convention that the col
lege to be built by the Baptists of
South Carolina would -be built in
the city of Sumter.
There were three propositions be
fore the convention. Rev. Richard
Carroll proposed to give the conven
tion SO acres of land and $2,500 as
an inducement to go to Union, but af
ter investigation we found this prop
erty was reverted property and we
thought it best not to accept the Rev.
Carroll's property.
The proposition by Rev. M. P.
Hall, president of Friendship Insti
tute, of Rock Hill. S. C., was not ac
cepted, but Dr. Hall was truly' ready
to go to Sumter.
Miss Schofield, principal of the
Schofield Industrial Institute, Aiken,
S. C., offers us 100 acres of land just
four miles from the city of Aiken. A
committee was appointed to inspect
this land as a location. The commit
tee reported not favorable to Miss
Schofield's proposition.
Rev. D. J. Jenkins proposed co ghe
50 acres of land at Ladson, but the
committee thought that the health
facilities would not do.
The preposition offered by the Bap
tists of the Wateree Association of 12
acres of land in the western part of
the city of Sumter was received on
the ground that the white people and
colored g?t along better than any
city in the State. The writer got up a
.petition a few months ago and car
ried it to the white pecple of Sumter
and all signed it. This was one of the
greatest forts we had to fight behind.
There will be an educational mass
meting held in Sumter on the 22d of
May, at v.'hich time the trustees of the
Wateree Association will convey this
property to the trustees of the Bap
tist State Convention. "We left Aiken
with the hope of raising enough mon
ey to pay for the property.

Relief From Rheumatic Pains.
*"I suffered with rheumatism for
over two years," says Mr. Rolland
Curry, a patrolman, of Key West,
Fla. "Sometimes it settled in my
knees and lamed me so I could hard
ly walk, at other times it would be
in my feet and hands so I was inca
pacitated for duty. One night when
I was in s v re pain and lame from
it my wife went to the drug store
here and came back with a bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain balm. I was rub
bed with it and found the pain had
nearly gone during the night. I kept
on uisng it for a little more than two
weeks and found that it drove the
rheumatism away. I have not had
any trouble from that disease for over
three months." For sale by De

DROWNED IX THE SURF.
Cadet Jackson, a Winnsboro Boy,
Loses His Life at the Isle o Palms.
Charleston, May 9.-Cadet W. J.
Jackson, fourth classman South Car
olina Military Academy, was drowned
this afternoon at the annual picnic at
the Isle of Palms. With him were
Cadets Sims of Barnwell and Ruby of
Habana. About 4 0 cadets were in
the water at the time. Jackson was
bathing- at a good distance from the
shore, but apparently in a safe posi
tion. A heavy wave lifted the three
boys to a greater depth, however, and
they lost their footing. Sims and
Ruby recovered their hold and tried
to save their college mate, narrowly
escaping drowning in the attempt.
Jackson finally disappeared from
view and a moment afterwards one of
the cadets seized him by the shoulder
under the water, but weakened by his
efforts, he was unable to pull Jackson
up and the cadet's body was lost.
Mr. Wingate and others went to the
assistance of Cadets Sims and Ruby
and endeavored to save the cadet, but
the young man was out too far and
the rescuers were hindered in their
work by the depth of water and the
necessity of constantly looking to
their own safety. A boat was gotten
and search made along the beach for
the body, but it was ineffectual.
Efforts to recover the body will be
continued.
Superintendent Coward detailed a
squad of six cadets to patrol the
beach for several hours and another
squad was assigned" tonight to the
same duty. Every effort will be made
to find the body. The drowning oc
curred just after dinner, about 4
o'clock. The accident is a particular
ly sad tragedy. Jackson was the only
son of a widow. Mrs. M. A. Jackson,
of Winnsboro. He was a bright boy
and gave every promise of attaining
success in life.

J DISPENSARY OWES LICENSE.
Claim Made Upon Commission for
$33,000 by Internal Revenue De
partment.
Columbia, May S.-A new and
entirely unexpected move in dispen
I sary matters was made yesterday
when Dr. W. J. Murray, chairman of
the State dispensary commission, was
served with papers by the United
States internal revenue department,
through the office of Maj. Micah Jen
kins, in which the government makes
claim to back license fees amounting
to more than $33,000.
The revenue department charges
that under the old State dispensary
system various county dispeinsers
throughout the State sold beer in
greater quantities than 4 7-S gallons,
which, under the rules o fthe revenue
department, would make them liable
to the wholesale liquor dealers' li
cense.
Dr. Murray accepted summons in
the case of a separate claim for $5.- j
427, the amount of revenue alleged to
be due the United States goevrnment.
in addition to what has previously
been paid, for a period of 15 months
past. Notice of claim for $2$,OOO in
license fees for the time prior to the
15 months past was also given to the
dispensary kCommission, but sum
mons was/K$>? accepted.
The li *$tle fee for a retail liquor
dealer if *$25 per annum; for a whole
sale li$upr dealer, $125 per annum.
The retail dealer is limited to sales
of 4 7-S gallons and less, and if a sale
of. more than that amount in a single
package should be made by a person
holding only a retail dealer's license
he would not only be subjected to the
fee of $125 but an additional 50 per
cent penalty for his refusal or neglect
to pay the greater license in ad
vance. ^
From former officials of the State
dispensary it was learned yesterday
that if the county dispensers sold
beer in larger quantity than 4 7-8
gallons to one person, in a single
package, it was unknown to them.
The dispensary law not only state J
specifically that no sale in excess of
4 7-S gallons would be permitted to
one person in the same day, but pos
itive instructions, according to Mr.
M. H. Mobley, former clerk to ' the
State board of directors, were fre
quently given to local dispensers that
under no circumstances must they
make sales in excess of that amount.
"At one time." said Mr. Mobley,
"the question was presented to the
board by some dispenser as to wheth
er he would be permitted to sell a
case of bottle whiskey to a party or
club at a reduced price. The board
authorized the sale of certain case
goods to clubs and individuals, in full
cases, for an advance of $1 above
cost price. These cases, however,
contained but three gallons. If dis
pensers ever sold beer in larger quan
tities than 4 7-S gallons to one pur
chaser, in one package, at a time it is
more than I ever knew, and I don't
believe the board of directors, or any
member of the board, knew of such
transactions.*'
Of course, if the State dispensary
commission should be required to
ante up $33.000, it would cut a big
j slice into the funds of the institution,
j and would, so to speak, be like throw
h g so much money to the birds.
If the county dispensers throughout
the State violated the law, as con
tended by the United States revenue
officials, it certainly shows very Lax
methods, but, inasmuch as the li- j
censes ^s retail liquor dealer are is- !
sued to the individual dispenser, and
not to the State, the question is raised !
that the dispensers and not the State
are liable for any, excess license fees !
which may be due Uncle Sam. This !
is the position taken by Dr. Mar- !
rav and. Mr. Henderson of the com
j
j mission.
Hon. W. F. Stevenson, 'attorney for
the dispensary commission, was not
in the city yesterday. He will arrive !
over the Seaboard Air Line this j
morning and the matter will be re
ferred to him and Attorney Generai

WILL FILE $400,000 CLAIM
Thc Dispensary Commission Probably !
Will Consider the Claim at Its Xext ;
Me< ting.
j
Columbia, May 10.-The dispensary i
commission held a long- session yes
terday and there were many interest- ,
lng developments, but nothing" in
particular which it is considered ad
visable to give to the public just at
this time. As usual lhere were sev
eral attorneys and whiskev drummers !
sitting around, anxiously awaiting j
some "good news" from the commis- i
sion, but there will be no funds paid
out at any time soon.
The news that Superintendent of
Education Martin is preparing to
take steps to secure a pro rata share
of the funds of the State dispensary
for the public schools of the State on
the claim that $400,000 is due the
schools from the profits under the
State dispensary system has worried
the representatives of the whiskey
houses no little.
Attorney General Lyon yesterday
replied to the letter of Mr. Martin,
advising him to file his claim with the
commsision if he considered that
there was anything due the public
schools of the State. This claim will
probably be filed Saturday. Antici
pating the claim there has been more
or less discussion among the mem
bers of the commission concerning it.
It cannot be stated just what the at
titude of the commission will be in
regard to the matter, but, as has been
stated before, more than one member
of the commission is inclined to the
opinion that this is a valid claim.
The Clark purchase has not been
paid for yet and the Peoria concern
may have to wait a long time before
it gets the money claimed. While
Dudley, who made the sale of the
$100,000 shipment to the board of di
rectors in December swore that no re
bates were paid to any member of the
board, his testimony shows that some
part of the shipment at least was not
ma.de according to the strict letter
of the law.
The matter of the claim of the Uni
ted States revenue department for
$23,000 in back license fees, alleged
to be due on account of dispensers
selling beer in wholesale quantities, is
in the hands of Mr. Stevenson.
