TO CLOSE THE DISPENSARY.
CHARLESTON COI XTY WITHOUT A
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS.
Attorney General So Decides—Ont
sronlh of the How Now in Pro
grtat Between the State and Coun
ty Dispensary Hoard—All the Dis
pensary Com in fusions Have Ex
pired and no New Ones Have Been
Issued— Charleston’s Cltlsens Need
Not Go Thirsty, However The
Blind Tigers Will Famish an
Ample Supply.
Charleston, S. C., May 17.—A1l of the
dispensaries in Charleston will be closed
to-morrow. This action grows out of the
fact that the Attorney General of South
Carolina decided to-day that this county
is without a Board of County Commis
sioners, and consequently there appears
for the moment to be no way of approv
ing dispensers' bonds.
As has been told in these dispatches
formerly, the State Board of Directors
and the County Board of Dispensary Con
trol have been engaged for two months
in a heated tight as to who had the right
to elect beer dispensers in Charleston. At
torney General Bellinger had decided in
favor of the County Board, but in the
midst of the fight, many side lsues had
been raised, one of which was that the
last Legislature, in revising and amend
ing the county government act, left
Charleston without a County Board of
Commissioners. The Attorney General so
found to-day.
Asa matter of fact, there has not been
a legally constituted dispensary in
Charleston county since May 1. All the
old commissions expired that day, and
not a single new one has ever been is
sued. In spite of this fact, however, the
State Commissioner and directors have
been shipping liquor Jo the local dispens
ers right along Exactly what they have
decided to do otherwise, merely because
Charleston is declared to have no County
Commissioners, does not appear very dis
tinctly. it is generally believed that some
adjustment will be reached and that the
bonds of the dispensers will be so certi
fied that Gov. McSweeney will be able
to Issue the required commissions.
NO COUNTY GOVERNMENT.
Attorney General's Decision Leaves
Charleston in a Bad Fix.
Columbia, 9. C., May 17.—Attorney Gen
eral Bellenger guve a decision to-day,
holding in effect that there is no legally
constituted government for the county of
Charleston, the board of County Commis
sioners being Illegal. This Is the cut
initiation of a jarring factional fight that
has been going on in Charleston for sev
eral weeks. The first effect of the decis
ion was disastrous to dispensers. Accord
ing to -this decision, the board being ille
gal, its acts were invalid, and the bonds
of county dispensers approved by It, null
and void. Under these circumstances Di
rector* Evan* and Dukes of the. state dis
pensary, who were in the city, ordered
that every dispensary in Charleston he
closed. There is much speculation as to
how legal business can be done |n Charles
ton. Some prominent lawyers hold that
it wiU require a meeting of the General
Assembly to straighten out the affairs,
and it is stated that a special eestlon
will be called for that purpose.
The South Carolina pensioners will not
this year get the extra 150,000 which the
Legislature intended to give them. The
controller cannot pay out more than the
(100,000. Today the Supreme Court filed
Its decision In the case brought to test
the matter. The court was unanimous In
the decision. The report setting forth
their reasons will bo filed later.
THE GUBERNATORIALOUTLOOK
Gnerry of ifaroti May Oppose Ter
rell on Properly Fund Issue.
Atlanta, May 17.—There is a well
grounded report current that the public
property fund issue raised by State Treas
urer R. E. Parks will be m*<jc an Issue
In the next gubernatorial campaign, and
that Hon. Dupont Guerry of Macon, one
of Capt. Park's attorneys, will be the
candidate on that side, as against At
♦oney General J. M. Tyrrell on the other
aide. It will foe a sort of constitutional
issue, so to speak, though It is difficult
to see how any issue will be made in
the event the Supreme Court sustains
the position taken by the Attorney Gen
eral.
There is a well-defined Impression
around the Capitol that neither Hon, F.
G. dußtgnon. nor Hon. Pope Brown will
be in the race. Even Mr. dußlgnon's
friends are inclined to the belief that
hta health will not permit of his running.
It Is said, however, that Mr. Terrell will
have as his opponent either Mr. Brown
or Mr. Guerry. the odda being decidedly
in favor of the latter. It Is expected the
prohibition Issue will cut a decided fig
ure.

G. A. R. REQUESTED TROOPS.
Military Will Preserve Order at An
demonvllie May 30.
Atlanta. Ga., May 17—By command of
Oov. Candler, Adjt. Gen. James W. Rob
ertson to-day issued orders to Company
F, Second Infantry, Macon, Capt. F. R.
Jones, with forty men; and Company L,
Fourth Infantry, Amerlcus, Capt. F. W.
Clarke, with his entire company, to pro
ceed to Andersonville on May 30, Federal
Decoration Day, and report to the sheriff
of Sumter county. They will act under
the Instructions of the sheriff In preserv
ing order on that occasion.
An Interesting feature of the matter Is
that Gov. Candler received an urgent re
quest front the secretary of the Grand
Army of tho Republic for Georgia, to
send the troops. He etated to the Gover
nor that troops were desired at Ander
aonville to prevent the recurrence of the
riots end bloodshed that occur there al
most every year. The troops are ordered
to take, each one, twenty rounds of ball
cartridges, and an extra supply of car
tridges will b# sent there on the occa
sion In question by Inspector General W.
G. Obear,
COTTON GROWING IN RUSSIA.
The Heavy Tariff Mokes the final

Washington. May 17 —lt Is expected that
Russia soon will be able to supply her
own needs In cotton, according to a re
port received at the stale department
from Deputy Consul General Hanauer at
Frankfort, Garmsny. She la ona of ths
few countries which levies a tax on Im
ported cotton. A tax equal to almost $5
per 110 pounds, and amounting to about
two-thirds of the value of the stable Is
Imposed. The Importation of cotton dimin
ished over 73,000.000 pounds In 1899. while
the production Increased 34 per cent, dur
ing the same year. Grain fields in Ruasit
are now planted with cotton, for the cul

able than that of wheat.

A SWIMMER DROWNED.
Soil Occurrence at Milledgrevtlie.
Victim Secretly Married Only n
Month Ago.
Milledgevilie, Ga., May 17.—A telephone
message from the natatorlum of Dr. Rob
inson this afternoon at 5:15 o'clock, brought
the startling and sad intelligence that Mr.
Edward R. Roberts had been drowned 1 .
The citizens and physicians, who could
do so, rushed to the scene of the sad
accident and did everything In thetf pow
er to bring life back to the inanimate
body, which had been recovered after ly
ing about 30 minutee under the water.
More than two hours were spent in an un
successful effort to resuscitate the body.
Mr. W. H. Reynolds, who was in the
pond, states that Mr. Roberts, who could
not swim, had been diving from a spring
board into the water at a point where the
shallow water shelved quickly into a 7-
foot depth, and had several times dived
into the shallow water. A slip of the
foot on the board threw Mr. Roberts a
few feet further to the right than he ex
pected, and into water beyond his depth.
Mr. Reynold* rushed to his assistance,
but was unable to get him out.
Mr. Roberts is the eldest son of Mr.
W. M. Roberts of this city, who Is one
of Milledgeville's prominent and respect
ed citizens, and this lamentable drown
ing of his son causes general grief. The
deceased has for some years been in bad
health, suffering from a heart affection
that at time prostrated him for days. Mr.
Roberts was about a month ago secretly
married to a Miss Griffin of Eatonton,
Ga., and the marriage has as yet never
been made public. The young wife at the
time of the accident was with her rela
tives In Atlanta, Ga.
SELLING MULES IN JACKSONVILLE.
Statesboro Dealers Find the flnsl
ium Good—Other Rnlloeh New*.
Statesboro, Ga., May 17.—Mr. W. T.
Smith of the firm of Smith Bros., livery
men, and Smith & Olliff, extensive horse
dealers, has Juat returned from Jackson
ville, Fla., where h* sold a clarload of
mules and horses. He says that Jackson,
villa is a good market for stock and that
he will probably carry another carload
down there. Mr. B. T. Outiand sold a lot
down there some time ago, and Bulloch
county men find that section a fine mar
ket. Mr. Smith says that the stricken
city is rapidly recovering from the fire.
The Central Is putting in anew trestle
across the OgeeJhee at Dover. It is about
one-third completed, and the work is slow,
owing to the difficulty of building and yet
keeping the track open for so many trains
that use it daily.
Statesboro is copying after the large
cities rapidly. The lat move Is to keep
all bicycles and wheelbarrows, etc., and
everything in the way of a wheeled vehi
cle. off of the sidewalk, except baby car
riages. This must be observed to (he city
limits. The ordinance grew out of the fact
that some reckless riders, both white and
colored, have been giving trouble In run
ning over pedestrians on the sidewalks.
The streets are in fine shape and the
couneilmen think the cyclists ran spin all
they desire on the hard open street nnd
not give old ladles and children sb much
trouble.
A pretty good shower of rain fell here
this afternoon. It Is the second one for
the week, one having fallen on Tuesday,
and the farmers nnd gardeners are de
lighted. Some sections, not far away,
however, have had no rain since the cold
spell. Yet farmers, generally, are taking
a philoeophlo.il view of the situation and
are pushing ahead as best they can. They
expect to make a good crop, for they
hardly fall in this county.
Hog raising appears to pay In Bulloch
county. It Is ti common sight to see
wagon load* of hacon being hauled from
th* towns to the country, but to see
loads of It come to town for sale is
quite another thing. Several men In this
county hauled in several loads recently
and got a good price for It. They |>ay
their accounts with bacon, Just as many
others, In fact, the majority, in other sec
tions. do with their cotton. Messrs. Rs
mer. Alderman M. C. Smith and Jim
Rushing are prominent bacon-raisers in
this county. Surely If one man make It
on a cnc.horse farm for sale In such quan
tities, certainly the majority could make
what they need for homo consumption.
There Is no reason why every pound of
hacon used In the county could not be
raised within its borders .

Can Municipalities Exempt Corpor
ation. From Taxation T
Columbia, S. C., May 17.—The Consol
idated Railway Company of Charleston
has lost its auit against the town of Mt.
Pleasant so far as the lower court is con
cerned, but the issue involved is an im
portant one, and It Is understood the
matter will go up through the State Su
preme Court to the United States Supreme
Court, if the state court does not sustain
the railway.
The town exempted the railway from
taxation; the road was built and after
being In operation for some time, doubled
its fare. The town council protested
without avail. Then the discovery was
made, that the exemption from taxation
was Illegal, and unconstitutional. In de
ciding against the railway, Judge Aid
rich declared the exemption illegal, null
and void.
As many municipalities have taken ac
tion similar to this as to exemptions,
there is considerable interest in the final
decision. The fight will be made on the
right of a municipality to break a con
tract of this kind into which a corpora
tion has entered in good faith.

Watch them try to follow me. I set
them a pace that they must keep if they
stay in the ring. For instance, they must
keep the heavy beef, and blessed few of

the tenderest broilers and fryers and the
best rlcefield lamb, the game. I don’t
mean what they call rlcefield and It Isn't.
