TIE CHURCH WILL BOUNCE HIM.
Because He Is Dispenser-A Fight Over tho
Case.

Columbia. S. G., August 19.-(Special.)-
Dispenser CARTRIDGE, of this city, who is a
member of the Methodist church. is In trouble
on account of his office.
Some days ago his pastor, DR.. Elwell. wrote
him letter telling him that charges had
been made against him for selling whisky.
which is contrary to the laws of the churcn.
and calling upon him to resign his position
and engage in business that was not sin
full. CARTRIDGE was cited to appear before
the congregation tomorrow and make any
defense he might see proper
The correspondence between the pastor and
layman has been extensive, but the latter
refuses to resign his position and tells the
church to do its worst. He is conscientious.
ly in favor of the dlspensary, and, hence.
does not intend to allow his pastor to govern
his actions.
AS 4 result of the letters published be-
tween the two men. their respective sons
had street fight this afternoon. Neither
did any damage TO the other before they
were separated
The probability is that Carledge will be
turned out Of the church tomorrow. He will
not attend, nor will he make any defense.

Editor Constituion-Whi visiting Atlanta
I happened to notice in a dispatch from
Washington in this mornings paper. that
Mr. Hoke Smith declares that no slgnl
canoe should be attached to The Journals
editorials on account of the fact that he
owns a block of stock in that paper.
This will not do. 1t is poor argument
that won't work both ways, and 1t VIII
not do for Mr.. Smith to talk one way to
the country postmasters and another way TO
the public generally.

short while aso-in fact only few days after
nv appontment-I received a letter from
The Journal office in Atlanta stating, You
have been appointed postmaster at your
office and we want to urge you to take an
active interest in getting SUBSCRIBERS TO
The Journal. We want you to celebrate the
return of the democratic party into ONCE by
oottinp IN as large a club as possible OF
subscribers. .
On the letter head on which this is writ
ton appears most conspicuously the name
of:

Now of course, the idea or this IS 10
imnress the country postmaster with the fact
thar Mr. Smith, who is in the cabinet, is the
boss of The Journal, and hence, II the
noetma ster wants to make himself solid with
the administration, he must help MT. Hoke
Smiths paper.
So YOU see Mr.. Smith admits his respon-
sibilitv on The Journal. for OF course no
business man would allow his name to be

unless he had something to do with Its
management. Respectfully

The Worlds fair will be opened today
with pomp and ceremony. As was to be
expected, the exhibits are not nearly all in
place. There has been bad management
at Chicago, but the weather has bssn
partly to blame for the delay. The terrible
windstorms Of summer will probably tear
down some Of the buildings. Last June
the wigwam Of the Democratic national
convention was partially destroyed By
wind. and repairs could not b made in
time. % the delegates were drenched with
rain Is they sat In the hall. The exorbi-
tans railroad rates will forbid large at
tendance of Pacific coast people at the
fair, and Sunday closing will exclude the
Chicago workmen, unless they can arrange
to work on Sunday and have Saturday
for holiday.

sound herring when they learn Of its

Sound herring when they learn of its
superiority.
Graham Bros. will begin operations this
spring with facilities for smoking and
packing 500 five-pound boxes daily, but
they expect soon to handle . much greater
quantity. The total psck at the island
last year was about Is. 600 boxes. Mr.. Graz
ham regards Anacortes as the best
point on the Sound for sardine
fishing, although he says that sar-
dimes of tae herring variety may
undoubtedly be found in large quantities
in Beliingham bay. What are known as
the French sardines. which are worth
twice as much as the herring variety, are
found in Deception pass and at Utsalady.
In his operations he will use what he calls
purse net, the first so far as he knows.
ever used in the Sound. In the East its
use il forbidden by law. but he thinks it
will be many years before any similar
legislation will be needed here as pro-
lection to the fisheries. He believes that
with purse net 400 feet in diameter. the
size he will use. q catch of from LOCO to
1900 barrels Of herring will be by no means
uncommon.
