The Yorkville Enquirer notes tho
death Of Genoral Lewis Merrill, which
occurred in the Presbyterian hospital,
Philadelphia, last Thursday morning,
as the result Of q kidney affection.
Merrill was post cOmmandant at York
villc during the Ku-Klux troubles Of
the early '70's, and in this position be-
came notorious. His energy was equal
ed only by his unscrupulousness, and as
the result, the KuKlux organization
was soon broken up, and the guilty,
along with perhaps many of the in
nocent, were convicted before Judge
Bond. Before Mcrrills arrival, Gov
ernor Scott offered q reward of 5000
for each capture and conviction of o
Ku-Klux, and under this offer Merrill
collected something like $4,000. BY
his action in taking the monoy he lost
caste to q large extent In tho army.
When located in Yorkvilo he was o
major but several years ago ho was re-
tired US n general. Except IN connec-
tion with his promotion, retirement
and death he has hardly been heard
OF since ho left Yorkville.

Mr.. Mayfiold was opposed to the

again He was glad to hear tho gcn.

was surprised at his votes. He was
surprised to hear him say tho State die

that it was doing. He was willing to

AMENDING THE D|SPENSARY LAW.

Changing tho State Board of Control--Tho
Local Option Feature Was Lost by Ono
Vote.
The morning session of the Senate
was mainly devoted to tho considcra-
tion Of Mr.. Efird's substitute for the
House bill providing for the election,
dutles and compensation Of the COM
missioner of the dibpensary and of q
State board of control and to further
regulate the sale of liquors. There
were great many committee amend
ments adopted, as we'll as number
offered by Senators on the floor.
Mr.. Jordan opposed the committee
amendment to the dispensary bill pro-
viding for % State board of control OF
five mon, not State officers. He
thought tnere should be purchasing
power hero in Columbia. 1t was un-
businesslike to have board of control
scattered over the State. He favored
having the Governor on that board.
Mr.. Ehrd said itwas preferred that
the board should meet here once O
month and receive estimates from the
liquorcommissione US to the'quantity
of liquors neeeed for the month and
J make their orders accordingly. The
State officials had not tho time to look
after outside business. The Governor
had countersigned warrants for thous-
ands and thousands OF dollars when he
did not know what they were for ex-
cept on tho statement of some individ-
ual. The bookkeeper OF the board
could act as the confidential agent OF
| tho board between monthly meetings
and make small purchases.
Mr.. Jordan again spoke in favor of O
majority of the board boing State off
GERS. He was not particular about the
| Governor being at the head of the
State dispensary, but State officer
should bo there.
Mr. Maylield was opposed to tho Gov
ernor Of the State being clerk tC
