Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal
Middletown, Aug, 10. A peculiar
accident occurred on Saturday night
to the threshing rig of William Boul-
den and Emmanuel Clendaniel. They
were moving it to farm on Bohemia
Manor, and had it attached to trac-
ton engine. While pulling up steep
hill near Murphy's mill, the chain
parted and the heavy machine ran back
down the hill and when near the bottom
turned over, demolishing them and
completely blockading the road The
damage will entail considerable loss
to the owners, as they have arranged
for threshing large number of crops
which work must now be allotted to
others.
During the prevalence of heavy
thunder storm which passed through
Kent county, Md, on Friday night,
lightning struck and burned the stack
yards Of Richard r. Cochran of this
town, consuming about 1000 bushels
of threshea oats.
Since the advance in price on grain,
fertilizers have taken a boom and
nearly every one in this section have
ordered their fall supply. The sales
of the present year will far exceed
those Of previous seasons.

Liquor Law q Failure.

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 24.-The
report of State Liquor Commits.
sioner Mixson shows that the state
liquor dispensary, although enjoy
ing a supposed monopoly, backed
by all the force Of the states
courts and arms, and enforced
with devoted energy by its Great
ors, the Tillman-Evans admins
tration, has after nearly two years
of its operation not only failed to
pay a profit but lacks $4,000 Of re-
imbursing the state the fifty thou
sand dollars it advanced in 1882
to start the business. Commits
sioner Mixson says in his report
that the large profits reported by
his precedent in office, Mr.. Traxler,
as having been earned were incor-
rectly estimated by counting In un-
earned profits on unsold liquors
and making no allowance for
prospective losses. He described
the system of taking stock employ
ed for the first eighteen months Of
the system as improper and I'M
businesslike. In conclusion he ex-
presses the hope that by next
February the dispensary will be
out OF debt. Ii however, the
United States courts continue to
protect interstate shipments Of
liquors to provide consumers it Is
expected that the receipts OF the
dispensary will be greatly reduced
while it's expenses must be main
tanned,
