BEN BARROOMS.
Only a Few Comities to Be Supplied
at the Start.
The State Officials Confident. How
ever, That All the Counties Will Fall
In Line Before Lons. Except Those
Under Local Prohibition Laws Beer
to Be Labeled by Numbers Instead
Of Under Firm Names.
Columbia, S. C.. May 29 The official
barroom of the state of Suitli Carolina
will be opened for business on July 1. On
and after that day it will be a penal of
fense for liquor to be sold anywhere in tin*
state except at the dispensary, which will
be distinctively a state industry underthe
supervision of Gov. Tillman and several
other state officers.
Under the operation of the law it is
discretionary with the freeholders of
twenty-nine of the counties in the state
whether they will adopt the dispensary
system, which will provide for the estab
lishment of a county dispensary to be
operated bv a dispenser, who will have to j
secure a majority of the freeholders of i
his county as signers to his petition for
appointment. In six counties there will
he no dispensaries, as the dispensary law
Is not intended to conflict with any exist
ing prohibition laws.
ONLY A FEW AT THE START.
From present indications it is not prob
able that over a half dozen counties will
on July 1 have dispensaries, as applicants
for the position of dispenser are experi
encing considerable trouble in securing
fthe indorsement of a majority of the
qualified voters. Most of the larger
.counties—for instance, Charleston and
’Greenville—show a disposition to avoid
the scheme, and the authorities in charge
'of the system do not expect, very many
counties to have dispensaries before
August, if then. They believe, however,
that the dispensaries will he scattered all
over the state in time, on the ground that
' the freeholders will prefer to receive
some revenue from the dispensary rather
than encourage blind tigers or pay the
expenses of the resulting drunkenness.
In Abbeville, Orangeburg, Barnwell
and a few other counties the freehold vo
ters have already signified tlieir desire to
give the new-fangled idea a trial.
ONLY ONE TO A COUNTY.
In the rules recently announced by the
Btate board of control—consisting of the
governor, controller general and attorney
general, who have absolute management
of the system—it was stated that until
some of the practical results of the sys
tem could be ascertained, only ono dis
pensary would be given each county, no
matter what its size might be. This will
be done for the purpose of economy and
so as not to have the dispensaries too
close.
The state dispensary, which is located
at Columbia, in the large building for
merly known as Agricultural hall, is to
be the general distributing point, and all
liquors which, after July 1, are legiti
mately consumed in South Carolina will
have to be sent out in special Husks under
the seal of the dispensary. The flasks
have blown into them the seal of the state
and the words, “South Carolina dispen
sary.”
A BIG PEMAND EXPECTED.
Every effort is now being made to have
things in readiness for the, demand that
is anticipated from the counties. Within
the last day or two six carloads of Cin
cinnati whisky have been received and a
shipment of 1,050 barrels is expected to
arrive shortly. The intention of the
authorities is to introduce anew feature
in the beer business. Six or eight brands
are to he used and will be known, not by
their commercial terms, but by numbers.
This.it is stated, is for the purpose of
dismissing from the minds of the con
sumers any imaginary suj>eriority of one
brand over another. .Beers will
be sold on their merits
at the uniform price of 15 cents a bottle.
Whisky will bo about $3 per gallon and a
person may purchase from a pint to five
gallons
It will probably be some time after the
dispensary is in oi>eration that the coun
ties will be supplied with a full line of
gin, rum, wine and other less popular
drinks, as the state chemist, who has to
subject all samples to a chemical analysis,
is somewhat behind in his work, having
given most of his time to the analysis of
whiskies and beers.

the Central case last week Justice Jack

Central railroad in the circuit court of
the United States for the southern dis
trict of Georgia under the receivers ap

that the Central owes them this amount
of money for various expenditures in re

A CONDUCTOR KILLED.
His Left Leg and Arm Crushed Be
neath the Wheels of His Train.
Greensboro, Ga. May 39 —A sad accident
I occurred on the Georgia railroad near.
! Union Point this afternoon by which
George Arnold, conductor of the up way
freight, lost his life. The freight train
had just left Union Point and about a
mile this side Mr. Arnold discovered some
negroes stealing a ride on a coal car. He
left his cab and went over the top of the
ears and made them get off. The train
then moved off and Mr. Arnold started
back to the cab. In going from a freight
car to a coal car he lost his footing
and fell under the moving
train. The trucks of two cars
run over his left leg and arm, horribly
crushing them. A train hand saw him
lying on the side of the track as the cab
passed, and stopped the train. Mr. Ar
nold ivasiconscious when reached, hut
was growing terribly weak from loss of
blood, which was streaming from his
mangled limbs. The train was backed to
Union Point and physicians sent for, hut
the shock and loss of blood were so great
that they were powerless jo do anything.
In about an hour after the accident he
died. Mr. Arnold was one of the most
popular conductors on the Georgia road.
His home is at Harlem, where his family,
a wife and two children, reside.
A PHOTOGRAPHER MISSING.
His Ability to Indulge in Diamonds
and Fine Turnouts Explained.
Atlanta, Ga., May 29.—Numerous
creditors of J. J. Faber, who for two
years has conducted a large photograph
gallery on Whitehall street, were sur
prised this morning to find ui>on jnquiry
at his place of business that he was not
in, and in fact it was soon learned that
Faber had quietly loaded his goods on a
car Saturday night and then with his
family took passage for New York. Faber
came to Atlanta from Norfolk, where it is
understood he left a record similar to the
one he now leaves behind him here.
He lived in fine style, had the
best of everything that was going, drove
stylish turnouts, and wore diamonds, all
of which was very puzzling to other pho
tographers, who could not see so much
profit in the business, Faber, in addition,
doing work at cut rates. His unexpected
disappearance and the many unpaid obli
gations which he left behind, explains
how he was able to maintain his style.
Judgments about to be rendered in the
courts are probably responsible for
Faber’s disappearance.
Cupid’s Surprise.
Albany, Ga., May 29.—Love found a
way to unite two fond and loving hearts
in this city yesterday afternoon. The
lovers were Miss Mattie C. Whetlock and
and Arthur r>oring, both of Dawson. Miss
Wnetlock had been visiting in the city
for some time and the marriage is tinged
with a certain degree of romance because
of its having been contracted in spite of
objections on the part of the bride’s
parents, who were kept in ignorance of
the intentions of the young people until
after their marriage. They will make
their future home in Dawson.
THREE BANKS CLOSED.
One of the Trio at Tampa, Fla., and
Two at Fargo, N. D.
Washington* May 29. Controller
Eckels was to-day informed of the failure
of the Gulf National Bank of Tampa,
Fla. The capital of the bank was $50,000
and the individual deposits $123,346. The
stock and management changed hands on
May 4. Bank Examiner McDonald has
been ordered to take charge of the bank.
TWO BANKS CLOSED AT FARGO.
Fargo, N. D., May 29. —The bank of E.
Ashley Mears was closed to-day by a
national bank examiner under orders
from the controller of currency.
The First National Bank of Fargo, N.
D., was also closed.
The examiner would give out no state
ment, but Cashier Mears said that the in
debtedness does not exceed $60,000, with
assets five times that amount. The bank
was called the National Bank of North
Dakota, and was mainly a clearance house
for a system of banks owned by Mr.
Mears and his system of loan agencies. It
had very few depositors in Fargo. No
other bank in Fargo is affected.
An Injunction Against Closing.
Chicago. May 29. Judge Stein to-day
issued a temporary injunction restraining
the exposition directory from-closiug the
world’s fair on Sunday.
The proceedings were in the state courts
and were entirely distinct from the more
recent cases in the federal courts to which
the United States government is a party.
Judge Stein’s ruling was in accordance
with the prayer of a hill filed by Charles
W. Clingman on behalf of himself as a
stockholder in the exposition company
and as a citizen. Judge Stein held that
congress had made no law compelling
Sunday closing.
Immigrants From Italy.
Charlotte, N. C., May 29.—A special to
the Observer from Salisbury, N. C., says:
‘•A special train containing twenty-five
Waldcnses passed through Salisbury
this evening going to Burke
county, Western North Carolina, to
establish a colony. Only one spoke En
glish. The Waldcnses are emigrating
from Southern Italy, where their lands
on theCotteau Alps have become too poor
to furnish subsistence.”
Four Corpses in One Room.
Connellsville, Pa., May 29. —In New
Haven, just across the river from here, a
family named Hoy—father, mother and
two children—were found murdered in
their house to-day. The victims were all
in one room. The house is in a thickly
settled neighborhood, but the family ap
parently had been dead twenty-four
hours. The theory prevails that Hoy
killed his family and then committed
suicide.

NEW YORK TRIBUNE,

ABBEVILLE ANNALS.
Sectarianism Cutting a Figure in
Local Educational Circles.
Abbeville, Mav 29.—A deplorable an
tagonism has been recently developed lx -
tween the school patrons of Abbeville.
Sectarianism is at the bottom of the
trouble. For several years past the Abbe
ville school has been presided over by
teachers who were zealous Baptists. At
a recent meeting held at the court house
anew board of school trustees was elected,
which gave rise to considerable dissatis
faction on the part of the Baptists. Last
Saturday another board of trustees was
elected at the Baptist church, and this
board propose to establish a school to he
conducted in said church building. Thus
two schools antagonistic to each other will
he conducted within a hundred yards of
each other.
This is the determination now, but it is
hoped that all differences maybe satis
factorily adjusted and that the- high
school of which the town has been so
justly proud may not be checked in its
career of usefulness by dissensions. ,
The Methodists and Baptists here are
about equally divided .in numbers. The
members of other denominations, whose
number is small, are apparently mere
■'lookers on in Verona.”
Apparently authentic information has
been received here that the Waycross Air
Line railroad will form a junction with
the Abbeville and Waycross road and
that work will he commenced at once.
Then the road Will be extended to Fort
Valley to connect with the Atlanta and
Florida railroad.
This intelligence has caused considera
ble commotion here, as it will, if curried
out, prove of vast importance to Abbe
ville and tributary territory.
The Baptists have secured a beautiful
site and will soon erect anew church
here, which, when completed, will be a
credit to Abbeville.
(■*Much needed rains have been falling in
this section in the past few days, which
will prove of great advantage to the
growing crops.
DOUGLAS’ GRAND JURY.
John M. James Fined SSOO for Violat
ing the Revenue Laws.
Carrollton, Ga., May ,29. —The grand*
jury of Douglas - county and Solicitor
Richardson of the Tallapoosa circuit have
demonstrated the fact that Douglas
county has not been without the “blind
tiger,” and thejr investigations and prose
cutions have resulted in the downfall of a
number of these unlawful whisky places.
In a special to the News a week ago it
was stated that the grand jury of Doug
las county had found two true bills
against John M. James for the alleged
handling of whisky. Owing to the prom
inence of Mr. James and his family con
nection the finding' of these true bills
proved to he extremely sehsational.
In his trial before Judge Janes at
Douglasville, Mr. James, who was de
fended by his brother. District Attorney
Joe S. James, pleaded guilty to three in
dictments, and was lined SSOO and costs.
Mr. James has promised to closeout the
distillery, and have nothing more to do
with the whisky business, and the good
citizens of Douglas, and especially tliose
in the neighborhood of the distillery,
from which much evil seems to have been
the outcome, are rejoicing over the pros
pects of its removal. •
The injunction case of E. H. Camp et.
al. against the town authorities of Doug
lasville to prevent the collection of taxes
on property which lies in what is known
as "the new cut” was dismissed. This
suit was commenced in 1891, at the time a
new charter was granted.
Manning Gore, a grand'juryman, was
lined $lO and discharged from the jury for
divulging secrets of the grand jury loom.
All he olkims to have said war, that if
some of the boys knew what he did they
would be leaving.
I*. N. Brown's barn was burned
Saturday night and among other things
two milk cows, 200 bushels of corn and
8.000 bundles of fodder were consumed.
Mr. Brown's ijhirt was nearly burned off
of him while trying to save the cows.
HAD TO EAT HIS DOG.
Terrible Experience of a Hermit in
the Louisiana Flood.
Viclfsburg, Miss., May 29. —There are
at least 10,000 homeless and hungry peo
ple in East Carrojl, Morehouse, West
Carroll and Madison parishes, Louisiana,
and the suffering and privations they are
undergoing is appalling. With the exemp
tion of a few small elevations the whole
of the northeastern portion of the state
is under water. Forty-four negroes
were rescued from a perilous posi
tion near Swan lake. East Carroll
ton parish, last night. They were
almost insane from hunger, having
been without food four days. Two children
died Friday from exposure. Their bodies
were wrapped iu blankets and thrown
into the raging waters, there being no dry
ground in which to bury them nor im
plements with which to dig graves. An
old hermit was rescued four miles from
Swan lake, who had been without food
three days. When found he was sitting
astride the roof of his house' munching
meat from thy bones of his dog. which he
had been compelled to kill. Gov. Foster
has sent all the tents at his command to
the sufferers at I>ake Providence.
UNDER GEORGIA’S LAW.
The Supreme Court on the Crate’s
Jurisdiction Over the Savannah.
Atlanta, Ga., Mar 29. —The supreme
court to-day rendered an affirmative de
.vision in the case of Simpson vs. the
state, from Hart county, which is to the
effect that a person in a bout on the Sa
vannah river within thirty yards of the
Georgia side at a point where the river is
at least 175 yards wide is prima facie in
the state of Georgia. The offense of
shooting at another is committed in this
state when one in the state of South Caro
lina without malice aforethought, hut not
in his own defense or under other circum
stances of justification, aims and fires a
pistol al another who at the time is in
this state, although the ball misses him
and strikes the water in this state near
the boat which he occupies.

CONSULTING OPTICIANS.
A STARTLING FACT,
That very few persons have perfect eyes. It
must be evident that it requires both knowl
edge and skill to know what the eyes need
and to lit them properly with glasses. Those
who trust this work to uninstructed dealers
are criminally careless of the most valuable
of all the senses, their sight. In addition to
graduating in Germany and my thirty years'
practical experience I have taken a course
and graduated in a school of optics in New
York and learned the latest and 1 est methods
of ascertaining the different defects of the
eyes and their proper correction, so that I
can tit you properly with glasses that will
strengthen and improve your eyesight instead
of rapidly ruining it, as poorly titled glasses
will always do. No chargo for examination.
