SOUTH CAROLINA. NEWS.
More Congenial Occupation.
Bose Crews, formerly editor of The
Cotton Plant, has been granted the
privilege to sell beer in Laurens.
State Historian.
Governor Ellerbe has appointed Col
onel John p. Thomas, stale historian,
to succeed the late General Hugh l..
Farley.
Says He Won't Run.
There has been more or less talk
lately to the effect that Congressman
Talbert would be candidate next
year for governor against Ellerbe.
Upon being asked about the matter by
a representative of the Columbia State,
Mr.. Talbert says he has no idea OF
such thing.
Fire In Chester.
Columbia Register: Quite serious
fire occurred in Chester on last Mon
day night, about which no telegraphic
reports were received. 1. N. Cross's
cottonseed warehouse and two ware
houses belonging to the Southern rail-
way. were burned down, shortly after
| II o'clock. The loss is about 81 200
and the fire is supposed to have been
of incendiary origin.
Taken Under Amusement.
In Charleston, last Wednesday,
Judge Simonton heard the evidence
in the case of the Bailey Liquor COM
pany, involving the right to sell liquor
in the dry town of Woodruff, Spartan
burg county. Judge Simonton with
held his decision and took the case
under advisement. What he has to
say on the subject will probably be
forthcoming within few days.
Overland BY Wagon.
Early this morning, says Chester
dispatch of Wednesday, a two-horse
wagon load of whisky in bottles, pack
ed in sawdust, arrived in town. The
agent, Mr.. D. j. McCarter, rented a
vacant storeroom, on Wall street, and
opened his establishment as agent for
A. G. McCarter, manufacturer and dis
tiller, of Kings Mountain, N. G. There
are several more wagon loads on the
road, which will arrive in day or so.
Much speculation is INDUCED in as to
the outcome of these original package
stores-whether they are protected by
Judge Simonton's injunction or not.
Mayfield as Farmer.
The Barnwell Sentinel says: Sen
ator S. G. May6eld is one man
in public life who has practiced what
he has preached-the home-living art.
This year, besides making about 400
bales of cotton, he will put away
about 10000 pounds. of meat in his
smoke houses, and will have more than
enough corn to run him another year.
The coming year he will also eat rice,
potatoes and syrup made on his own
place. It's seldom, indeed, we en-
counter such a triple combination-a
successful lawyer, successful politi-
clan and successful farmer. Yes,
Senator May6eld is well qualified to
take the stump and preach good doc
trine. Mr.. Mayfeld certainly is a
good farmer, and a good lawyer, too,
and it is pity that more people like
him are not scattered throughout the
state. AS a politician, Mr.. Mayfeld
has not been a great success in a re-
cent campaign; but as farmer he
seems to be at the top. 1t would be a
great thing for the state if there were
some more lawyer-farmers like Mr..
May6eld.
