2 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. i— ■ e 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 ness a Profitable One. 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 tivation of the fiber is much more profit able than that of wheat. Piles Cared Ultnoai the Knife. Itching.

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 . The fUatesboro baseball team has chal lenged the Claxton team for another trial at a game, to foe played at Neil wot, i, on Iho Savannah and Statesboro Railway, eight biles below here, on the 24th Inst. The schools here will have a combined picnic there on that day, and a large crowd Is expected to attend. It is hoped that Claxton will accept. CAPT. JAMES EVANS DEAD. One of Charleston’* Oldest Pilot* and n Survivor of the Via Union Charleston, S. C.. May 17.—Capt. James Evans, one of the oldest pilots at this port, and a survivor of the Confederate cruiser Alabama, died at his home here this morning. He was an experienced navigator, and while serving on the Sum ter, and afterwards on the Alabama un der Admiral Semmes, one of hl chief duties was to give in advance the nation ality of any approaching vessel. Both Admiral Semmes and Lieut. Sinclair, in their published work, refer to Evans' val uable service. He was one of the officers picked up by Ihe English yacht Deer hound off Cherbourg when Hie Alabama was sunk bv (he Kearsarge. He returned to the Confederacy, and was serving at one of the naval batteries on the Jamev river when Richmond waa evacuated. RAILROAD* FAIL TO AGREE. Complaint of T. T. A- G.

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. Barn Demolished by Lightning.
