They Are DeiauIters.
Nearly All the Dispensers
Are Short in Their
Accounts.
Columbia State, Feb. 1.

When the newspaper men stepped
into the executive chamber yesterday
Governor Evans made this announce
ment: "You can say that We have
found nearly every dispenser lu the
State behind in his accounts. some Of
them considerably behind " The Gov
ernor went on to say that, under the
provisions of the new law, the county
supervisor of e; county had been
made a member of the board of con-
troll Of each county, aad this necessi
tated the dropping of one member
from each county board. He says the
State board is now very busy reorgau
iziug the county boards. When each
board has been reorganized, each dis
penser in the Stz:e will be required to
execute new bond, with sureties who
must certify to owning twice as much
real estate as the face value of the
bond This bond must be approved by
the county auditor then by ne county
board, aud finally by the State board.
The States dispensary inspectors are
pow hard at work inspecting every
dispepsary 10 the State. Every dispeu-
ser found short in bis accounts, the
Governor said, mus; either submit a
satisfactory explanation, or else make
the shortage good Immediately. or the
State would proceed to bring suit on
the bonds and prosecute Said Cover
nor Evans "We cau't afford to have
in charge of the States business any
one who allows himself 70 become in
arrears for any cause. After the re-
orgaoizati"n any one fouud in arrears
vii, be summarily discharged. The
inspectors have full authority to take
charge Of the assets Of any dispeusary
10, conducted according to law.
Governor Evaus wen: or to say il
might be that the dispensers woald be
all required to give guarantee III
surancc bono, the State giving the
guarantee companies the righs to III
spect the iispens4ries The Governor
says. in his opinion, the shortages,
one or two Of which run up over ST.
900, have been caused by the loose
way of doing business which some Of
the dispensers have practiced. He says
the State board has been at work hav-
ing pew system Of bookkeeping pre-
pared for use 10 all tbe dispensarles
aud it would be ready to be put 10 use
by to-day. This system, he says. viii

man falls behind in his accouuts.
Talking of the dispeusary IN general
Governor Evans said that by the re-
duc;ion of ;he torce Of cnnstabes when
was receatly made, the State had saved

He Gives Them Ten DAYS
In Which to Enlist or Dis
band.
Columbia STATE, February 9.

All have been watching with inter
est since the order of the Adjutant
General was issued last week, pro-
viding for the complete reorganiza-
ton of the militia forces of the
State under the new militia act, and
making it incumbent for all the sus-
pended militia companies to enlist,
taking the oath prescribed and come
back asking to be taken into the
militia of the State, to see what the
many companies which had been sns-
pended would do under the circum-
stances.
The Sumter Light Infantry, which
was not included in the order of sus-
pension, by the way, has refused to
enlist and will disband first, although
it has not yet sent the Adjutant Gene
raj such notice. So far. the only
companies included in the suspension
order which have decided to re-enlist
and see what the Adjutant General
will do about receiving them into the
reorganized force, are the companies
in Charleston. The Columbia COM
panies have not yet taken any action.
Gen. Watts yesterday said that he
did not intend to wait longer than
ten days more on any company IN
the matter of the enlistment, and
those which had not reported to him
within that time need not Go SO, for
they will have no chance whatever
of having their application consld
cred
The Governors Gnards will pro-
badly consider the matter Monday
night, if quorum can be secured.
IN this connection, Gen. Watts
yesterday issued the following self
explanatory order
General order No s.
1t is the desire and intention Of
the Adjutant and Inspector General,
IN accordance with the request of
the various cavalry companies, to
finish the inspection Of the cavalry
at any early date, SO as not to inter
fere with farming operations and OF
all commands as earl y as possible,
hoping that an early distribution of
the appropriation can take place.
All commands desiring to enlist in
obedience to the terms of the "act
to revise and amend the militia laws
of the State" +" must notify this office
within the next ten days
By order

Shooting ARRAY in Barnwell.
An Outrage bv Gamblers Over
Which the Town Was Excited

BARNwELL February 3.-The town
was throwu into wild excitement this
evening a, o'clock over one of the big
gest shooting scrapes that has occurred
here in quite long time. The shoot
ing was done principally by Charles B
Swan. the ex-cons,able and Alfred
Sease, a farmer. Mr.. Sease is the
only one seriously shot. The ball en-
tered just below his left nipple, and the
doctors are now trying to 6od it. Swan
is shot 10 the arm.
1t is thousand wonders that several
men were not killed outright The
whole matter originated about gamb-
ling. which had beer going on daring
the morning 10 Jake Goldberg's shoe
shop, 10 the rear Of Caves store. Sease
and Swan drew their pistols on each
other in the streets after leaving Cold
berg's store, but did not use them.
This evening Sease went to Trial JUS
tice Holman's Office to take out war
rant for Swan. He met Swan in the
Office and hot words we're passed. Judge
Holman sent for Sheriff Lancaster to
arrest the mep, but in the meanwhile
pistols we're drawn in the office, and
Holman pushed Sease by the side door
into the Messrs. Paterson & Holman 5
law Office. Swan went 20 the front
door and both met again in the haiway
in the Ryan building. just in fgout Of
Patterson & Holman's Office. The
shooting then began and about ten
shots were fred. One shot took effect
in Mr.. W. A Holnau's finger, aud
one went through his hat One ball
hit Mr. j. O. Pat:erson's cravat. took
out about an ipch, aud one hit Sease
and one hit Swan as stated
During the shooting Capt Lancaster
had hold of Sease and was trying TO
to arrest the men. At one time Bar
ney McLemore had his pistol pointed
at Sease, but Lancaster yelled to him
not to shoot The sheriff arrested
Swan, McLemorc and Diamond and
put them all in Jail, where they are
flow. This will show whether Lancas-
ter is afraid Of his duty or Dot.
Messrs. Patterson aud Holman were
in their private Office, aud both came
near being accidentally killed 10 trying
to get Sease, who had drawn pistol,
out of their Office.
This is the outcome Of the town
council allowing gambling to 60 on
publicly every day and Sunday
There is regular gambling room for
whites and blacks, aud it was rumored
in the streets this evening that there
would be an Indignation meeting called
to denounce the gambling. If this is not
done it is to be hoped that the grand
Jury will take the matter 10 hand, for
there is more gambling here than 10
any town in the State of is size and
the gamblers are never mo!ested, yet
the town authorities are fully aware Of
the fact
