shall not be liable for. an amount
greater than three-fourths of the
actual cash value of each item of
property insured by this policy
(not exceeding the amount insured
on each such item) at the time
Immediately proceeding such loss
of damage; and IN the event of
additional insurance-if any is
permitted hereon-then this COM
pany shall be liable for it's pro-
portion only of three-fourth such
cash value Of each item insured al
the time of the fire, not exceeding
the amount insured on each such
item"
This simply means that the
insured must carry at least one
fourth Of the risk. For instance
suppose a house actually worth
$1,000 is inquired for $3.50. In case
of loss the face value Of the policy
(s75o) is paid, or if the insurance
was less than $3.50 say $500 then
the face value OF the policy $500
would be paid; but any amount OF
insurance above $3.50 would not be
paid. If the house was insured
for $500, $1,000, Or even $4,000 (the
value of the house being only
$1,000, and the premium for. such
amount paid, yet in case Of loss
the company would not be liable
for more than the three fourths OF
the real value of the building or
other property.
A new "IronsIafe Clause" has also
been adopted and went into effect
at the same time as the above. This
lis matter of special interest to
merchants. There has been an iron
safe clause in force for some time
which has been very important,
bnt the last is much stronger.
Speaking to a fire insurance agent
on this subject very recently, he
suggested that many merchants
know very little about the impor-
tance of this clause and that they
should be advised to read their
policies over carefully as viola
ton of the iron safe clause might
cause them inzcase of fire to lose
their insurance money.

Senator Butler, in recent inter-
view, thus defines his position:
y = +"I am inclined to think
from what I know of the opinion
of leading Democrats, men very
high in council of the party, that
this will be the way out of our
financial difficulties. "A repeal of
the Sherman law, coupled with
the repeal Of the 10 per cent tax on
State bank circulation, and a
graduated income tax. If the
Democratic party will do this,
and readjust the tariff, we shall
hear of no more financial troubles
for twenty-five years.

The following description OF
Gov. Tillmans first attempt to kill
the blind tigers in Charleston,
and there is said to- be regular
menagerie of them in that city, is
from the Charleston Sun of July
18th.
The Tillman law came down
with a heavy hand i'll Charleston
this morning.
Shortly before 10 o'clock Chief
Constable Gaillard, aided by a
squad of constables among whom
were tao Charleston men, named
Swan and Pepper, and two from
the country named Jolley and
Chapel, (the nemes of the balance
could not be learned, made their
way to the Amerigo Vespucie sa-
loon, on Market street, kept by
V Chicco, an italian grocer and
former saloon keeper.
The constables informed Chicco
that they had come to seize his
place and arrest him as keeping a
place where intoxicating liquors
were sold. They read to him the
warrant and injunction and served
both papers on him. Chicco was
then arrested and taken to Trial
Justice Milan's office, where he

Brown, the butcher signing the
bond.
The constables were left in
charge of the place on Market
street under command of Chief
Constable Gaillard. Under the law
ii is said that the State is en-
powered to seize everything in the
place, even including the house.

were secured, and work was at
ouce commenced in clearing the
store of it's contents.
1t was not long after the arrest
was made until it become known
that the State officers were at work.
A large crowd gathered in front Of
the place, and with keen interest,
watched the proceedings. In few
minutes the street was impossible
but the crowd made no demonstra-
tion whatever. Two of the con-
stables stood guard at the door,
and permitted no one to pass un-
less permitted to do SO by order of
Chief Constable Gaillard.
One of-the drays secured, backed
up to the door, and work was COM

sidewalk increased, and the men
at work found it difficult to make
their way from the door to the
wagons. Police Officer No 81, hap
pened along. and Chief Constable
Gaillard called on him to keep
the street clear for passage. The
officer. however, found that he had
his hands full, and as soon as he
cleared the passage iE one direc-

AN INJUNCTION.
Aldrich Declines to stop
the WalterbOro Dispensary.

The Columbia Journal.
BARNwELI, S. G., July 17.-The
Walterboro injunction case came
up before Judge Aldrich Saturday,
a temporary injunction having
been granted by him some time
ago.
Attorney General Townsend was
present for the State, but as Mr..
Tracy, of Walterboro, was here to
represent the Colleton Dispenser
and Board of Control, he COM
mitted the case to the care of that
gentleman and the Solicitor, Mr..
Bellinger.
Mr.. Farrow, representing the
petition for injunction, read his
complaint, which was entitled,
"The members of the town council
of Walterboro against the three
members of Board of Control and
the app ,intee as dispenser, M.
Rickenbacker."
The complaint stated in sub
stance ~ that the Board of Con-
troll had no power to appoint the
Dispenser, because at the time
that Rickenbacker received his
appointment, only two of the
Board had been appointed, and
that two had no power to do SO,
not being able to organize under
the law with only two; (2) that
one of those two, Lucien Bellinger,
was ineligible, being at the time
the Supervisor of Registration of
the county Of Colleton; 80 that in
fact only one of the board was
legally qualified at the time that
Rickenbacker received his ap-
pointment; and (3) that fourteen
of those who signed the Dispensers
petition signed afidavits that they
signed on the representation by the
Dispenser that the Dispensary
would be established anyway; and
it was only question who should
be Dispenser, and because the
names of some who were on the
petition were improperly there,
being disqraiiiEe,: for various rea-
sons, 50 that, as Q matter of fact,
