the artillery and subsequent connection
with tho cayclrv have made him exceed

Gov. Tillman Says Rice Beer is Only
Lager in Disguise.


Columbia. S. c.. Sept. 5.-The long eX-
peoted bomb has fallen upon the rice
beer dealers at last, and the constables
acting under Gov Tillman's orders will
soon be taking possession Of every place
where this beverage IS sold or offered for
sale. This is going 10 reopen all the
liquor trouble in dead earnest, and there
is fun ahead. For quite long time, IN
fact ever since the law went into effect
many Of the liquor dealers Of the state
have been selling rice beer right along,
and reaping a good harvest
UNDER THE MICROSCOPE. so TO SPEAK.
Gov Tilman said that he would try TO
get the best analysis as soon as he could
secure samples, and all along those liquor
men who have preferred to be on the safe
side have been on the anxious bench and
have not dared to sell the stuff, even
though their next-dOor neighbOrs dld So
While this state Of anxiety was existing
Gov. Iillman put his constables TO get
ting sample bottles of beer in various sec
tions of the state, and secured numerous
samples The samples came from num-
Der of different breweries. In the last
few weeks Gov Tilman has been
saying nothing, and every one sup
posed that rice beer was a beverage
that would be continued TO be sold in the
sOft-drink saloons without mOlestatlon
from the state authorities. But during
this seeming quiet DR.. Burney, the state
chemist, had these bottles down in his
laboratory and has been working indusUri-
Ously with them. About ! o'clock Friday
he called upon Governor Tillman and sub
mitted his report of these analyses of the
various brands Of rice beer. This report
| have, of course, been unable to secure.
MASKED LAGER BFER
When 7 walked into the governors
Office to-day and asked him What about
rice beerE' he said Well, it is just like
they said it was it is lager in disguise.
I asked the governor for statement in
regard to his future actions in this mat
ter, and he said Il shall begin at once
to send out Instructions to my cOnsta-
bles to arrest all parties selling rice beer
in the state and arrest the beer along
with them. I'm going 10 indict them at
once, and the analyses of beer seized Will
furnish sufficient proof. / am tired OF
these dOings, and am not going to have
this monkey business any longer. We
simply picked up samples all about the
country, and the various analyses show
that the stuff is as much beer as lager,
is at least, all the analyses approximate
four per cent of alcohol That is all l
have to say now; you can see the rest for
yourself
IT HAS BEEN SOLD OPENLY.
There are only few dealers in Column
bia who have refused to sell rice beer till
the governor had rendered his decision as
to the legality of such sale There are a
great many dealers however, who have
been selling the beer openly and they
will doubtless fall under the governors
ban.

AN ACCIDENT AT wAYoRoss.
The Saw Mills Getting Ready Again
For Business.

Waycross, Ga, Sept. Oscar Green,
yard conductor in the Savannah, Florida
and Western railroad yard at this place,
fell from the top of a freight car on the
Brunswick and Western "Yn last night
and was seriously injured He was
dragged some distance by the trucks and
the car wheels ran over his feet, crushing
them. His stomach was terribly bruised
by the fall. He Will probably recover.
The saw mills on the railroads leading
out from this place, which closed down
for few weeks, are now being started
up again Orders for lumber have been
coming in all the time slowly, but bust
ness in that line is now improving
1t is rumOred that several large CON
tracts for buildings will be let during this
month and that fall will cause other
buildings to be erected. There seems to
be freer circulation of money here since
Sept. /. Business is improving and the
prospect for the future is bright
Now that the yellow fever excitement
and hard times are things Of the past, it
has been suggested that a board of trade
be organized at once and every effort
made to advance the business interests of
this place. If the merchants will pull to-
gether board of trade will be the next
important progressive step taken by the
city
The Young Peoples Christian En-
deavOr Aid society will give a social at
the residence of Hubert Murphy on Gulf
street Wednesday night. There will be
refreshments. The proceeds win be for
the benefit of the new Methodist church.

PEARY's PARTY.
Dogs and Native Esquimaux Secured
and All Well and Happy.

Dogs and Native Esquimaux Secured
and All Well and Happy.
St. Johns, n. F., Sept. 5-The steamer
Falcon returned here this afternoon from
Bedouin bay, West Greenland, having
successfully accomplished the landing of
the Peary expedition at that place
The Falcon left here July 10 bound for
Labrador to purchase dogs necessary for
the success of the expedition She ar
rived at Battle HarbOr on the nth cruised
along the Labrador coast, meeting with
little success in the purchase of dogs
After getting only twenty the vessel
left Labrador on the 22d arriving at the
Greenland coast on the 9th. -Four dOnkeys
belonging to the expedition persisted of
exposure. The Falcon sailed along the
coast of Greenland, getting the balance of
the dogs needed, n greater number being
necessary because of the loss Of the
donkeys. Altogether, the party got
eighty-seven dogs.
At Cape York Peary got five native
EsquimauX to assist in caring for the
dogs and doing general work.
THE PARTY SAFE AND COMFORTABLE.
The Falcon arrived at her destination
on Aug 3. She started on her return
trip Aug. 20, leaving Peary's party com
fortably inclosed in the house they took
with them. III was found that the house
used by the last expedition had been torn
down and used for various purposes by
the natives A whole colony of natives
living on lnglefeld Gulf moved near
Peary, to remain with him during his
stay. The Falcon made a good passage
and arrived here without injury. The
northward trip was unaccompanied by
any special incident.
All were well and in goods spirits when
the Falcon left the harbor. Exhaustive
inquiries concerning Gloeff, who was sup
posed to have been killed last year by
falling into a Crevasse, were made by the
party, but nothing was learned of him.
