The Dispcnsnry Matter.

itor of The Guardian, and adopt.
cd by the Democra tic State Exec
utivo Committee, looks to 4
searching investigation of every
charge made against the manage
mont of tho State disponsary. 1t
was ominontly proper that the
committee should act in tho prem
isos. 1t is true that the commit
teo represents political organiza-
ton. 1t is also truo that it repre-
sonts tho white people of South
Carolina, who maintain and con-
troll tho State government in all
its branches. The dlspcnsary is in
somo senso party measure, 1t is
Il feature of the actual policy of
the State, in tho treatment of the
liquor problem. For its failure
or success-for its proper manage
ment-thc Democratic party will
be hold responsible. 1t is quite
appropriate, therefore, that the
proposition TO investigate It's trans
anctions and tho conduct Of it's
officials, should proceed from the
body authorized to act, within its
proper sphere, for the Democratic
party of this State.
The Guardian hopes that the in
Qulry into tho affairs Of the dis
pcnaary Will be searching, energetic
and cXhaustivc. Those who must
now make the desired inquiry are
necessarily trammclcd through
the want Of authority to require
the attendance Of witnus9ce and
compel these to testify. Al the
samo limo much may be done to
bring out tho facts bearing upon
the matter and render easier tn"

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION:
Ons year. Observation-Disclosures. $500
Cash in advance. 1.bO


I'm ddUdnce" must be taken to mean pre-
cisely what the words signify. Subscribers
who renew one month, two months, ETC.,
after the date to which they have paid ex-
pires, will be charged at the $500 rate for
the time they are in arrears. Thus:
a subscriber 'oho renea0s one month after
expiration Of his paid absorption UM pay
for the year, $1.55; t,oo months, $1.60; three
months, $1.63; four months, $1.67; and so on.
To this rule the publishers must adhere
infiexibly.
The difference is small and unimportant
to the individual subscriber, but to the pnb-
fishers it is important, and very large in the
aggregate.
The red label on every paper shows date
Of expiration of subscription, which is the
first day of the month.
If a subscriber desires to discontinue when
paid subscription has expired, timely notice
should be given. Without such notice, sub
scription will be considered as continuing.
The great majority of subscribers object
to having their subscription interrupted
arbitrarily when the period for which they
have paid has expired. The foregoing plan
has been adopted as fair compromise be.

Those Who Were Compelled to Pay the
0leomargarine Tax, for Selling What
They Supposed was Butter, Have Brought
Suit.
Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va. March 16.-Col-
lector E. NJ. Gilkeson has been notified
that suits have been brought against
him in the United States Court by those
retailers who were recently compelled
10 pay oleomargarine taxes and selling
what they had bought for, and supposed
was creamery butter, to secure the re-
turn of the amounts paid.
These persons have consulted with
some of the best lawyers in the State
and believe they have a good case.
They cite the decision of the court in a
Pennsylvania case somewhat similar TO
this, which was against the govern
ment.
Revenue Agent Bowen, who has in
sisted that the purchasers of Stolze's
butter should be made to pay the taxes
and penalties, and Deputy Commission

made against them, are Republicans,

Frankfort, Ky, March 16.-The State
capitol bristled with bayonets to-day.
A guard patrolled the wall in front OF
the door Of the capitol. Inside at the
foot of the stairway leading to the
House and Senate chambers, Captain
Gaines and squad OF picked men stood
and allowed no one TO ascend without a
written order from Adjutant General
Collier. who is chief in command.
At the head of the stairs another
squad of fifteen stood with fixed bayo-
nets.
What promised to be the most sensa-
tiOnal day of the Senatorial fight was
begun with proclamation from Gov
ernor Bradley issued at o'clock this
morning.
The proclamation recites the turOu-
lent scenes of last week and orders out
the first regiment and two companies
Of the second regiment under command
of Col. John S. Castleman, with IN
sructions to proceed to Frankfort.
When the joint session convened the
roll call showed siXty-siX present. AS
neither the Democrats nor the Popu-
lists responded to their names, the
president announced that no quorum
was present. but as the constitution re-
Quires a ballot each day, he ordered
the call to begin. But one vote was
cast. that of Mr. Speed, for Boyle.
The joint assembly then adjourned
until y o'clock
Martial law will continue until the
Legislature adjOurns tomorrow. Aside
from the presence of soldiers in the
streets there is no apparent excitement.
Blackburn's friends profess intense in
dignation over what they term the
usurpation of authority by Governor
Bradley.
1t is expected that certain measures
regarding the revenue now pending in
the Senate will be hastily killed, as a
rebUke to the Governor.
There was not standing room in the
Court House at an Indignation meeting
this afternoon to protest against the
action of Governor Bradley in calling
out thDS roops.
Ex-Attorney General Hendrick nom
mated Judge Lvsander Heard as chair
man Of the meeting in a speech in
which he scored the action OF the GOV
ernOr.
Speeches were made by Mayor Jul
ian. Col. 3. II. Taylor and others. de-
nouncing the action Of Governor Brad
ley in severe terms.
In an interview the Governor said
the military was called out in order to
protect the members of the Legislat-
ure from mob violence and not to pro-
tcct himself.

OIL NEWS
Special to the REGISTER.

Special to the Register.
SistersVille, w. Va, March 16.-The
latest report received from the well
drilled by Bettman, Watson & Bern
heimer, on the Shingleton farm, out
near Hebron, is to the effect that the
well is good for 125 to $50 barrels. The
pay was struck sometime Saturday and
a tank or two were filled but on account
of no pipe line connection they were
compelled to plug the hole. They eX-
pect to get connected up in a day or
so, being somewhat delayed on account
of the deep snow and the extremely
bad roads.
The well on the NJ. II. Verden farm,
it is now understood, will reach the
pay some time about Wednesday night
or early Thursday morning.
The well belonging to the Deyonian
Oil Company reached the pay streak
sometime Sunday morning and is re-
ported to have started off at a gait Of
II barrels an hour, which it held up all
day. Upon being agitated this morning
1t is reported to have increased its pro-
duction to % barrels an hour, and the
latest report from there this evening
was to the effect that it was still hold
ing up at this gait.
The South Penn Oil Company are still
fishing at their No. 3 on the Jackman
farm. There is a piece of bit about
fourteen inches in length in this hole
and so far they have been unable to
get it out.
There was no change in the price of
credit balances to-day the markeA re-
naming at Saturdays closing fiugre,

The we'll on the Pitts farm should
reach the pay in a day or two. This
well should have been in last week,
but it was delayed for some reason.
The territory out on Indian creek con-
tinued to be the attraction in field de-
velopments, though there was not much
done. All the wells drilled in out in
that section are holding up nicely. The
Devonian's wells on the Kyle and
Weekly farms, were doing 1900 barrels
a day yesterday, and Shay e McMul-
lens well, on the Lloyd Weekly farm,
1000 barrels every twenty-four hours.
