The ~Spaltanburg Herald expresses our
sentiments exactly when it says: ono
body doubts Governor Ellerbe, his good
intantions in ordering Il thorough inves-
tigation into recent Dispensary scandals.
He means well, but we desire here and
o to make the prediction, that while it
will be shown conclusively that certain
goods and chattels seized in the name of
the State Of South Carolina have been
appropriated to the personal use of GER
tain Dispensary officials, that not one will
ever be legally convicted and sentenced
for hi. crime. This is not a random pre-
diction, but deliberate conclusion reach
ed after a careful review of presidents"

premises.
The old couple protested that they had
no money. Mrs. Wartenburg was then
SEIZED and bound her feet thrust into q

CHARTER HEARING POSTPONED.
Councilman Stone introduced a ResoIu-
ton in the Lower Board In Favor of
Repeal of Corporation Monopoly Law.

A special meeting Of the city council
was called last evening to give hearing
to the citizens who might be interested
in the new city charter. All of the alder
men and greater part of tho coancilmen
we've present but only a few citizens
turned out to give their views on the
proposed new charter SO, on the motion
of Alderman Thopmson, made in a joint
session of tho board of aldermen and the
common council the hearing was post
poned until Wednesday evening of next
week to which time the city council adj
iourned.
AS soon as the joint convention was
dissolved, Councilman Samuel A. Stone
sprung surprise on the lower board by
introducing the following resolution. and
moving Its adoption:
Resolved, That the city council of the
city of Portland hereby request it's
representatives in the legislature to use
all legitimate means to repeal the unwise
legislation of 1895, which, in the
language of the governor in mis- late in
augural. "tends to create monopolies and
to prevent a healthy competition" in the
matter of supplying and distributing
electrical power within the limits CT this
city for manufacturing electrical power
within the limits of this city for mani
featuring and other purposes; and in
view of the benefits 60 be derived from
the cheaper generation of electricity by
water power, we further request our
representatives to serure necessary legis-
lation which shall authorize the United
Indu rated Fibre company of New Jersey.
it's SUCCESSORS and assigns, to supply
electrical or other power, to our citizens,
for the above purposes, aud to transmit
the same from its source of supply on the
Presumpscot river to this city.
Councilman Mayberry spoke favorably
Of the sentiment expressed in the resolu-
ton, but deemed it unwise to make men
ton of any special corporation.
Councilman Stone replied that the
United Indarated Fibre company is the
only electric corporation that has applied
to the legislature for charter to operate
in Portland, and that was why reference
had been made to it. However, he had
no objection to striking out the name of
ths company ii such action was con-
sidered advisable.
The point that the introduction of the
resolution was out of order was raised by
Councilman hanson. The nesting was
called for special purpose, he said, and
no business not mentioned In the call
could be acted on.
President Dow sustained the point of
order and the board adjourned, after
Councilman Lamson had offered the sug-
gestion that some arrangement be mnde
SO that dates of city meetings and polo
games should not conflict as the noise
from the skates made it next to inn
possible for the city fathers to make
themselves heard.
