Carry Its Own Insurance.

Commissioner Vance of the State
dispcusary has recommended to the
State board of control that the insur-
aoce 90 ali dispeusaries in the State be
carried by the board His recommen-
dation is as follows
THAT you carry your owe insur-
auce. You are now paying ST. 900 per
anuum on local dispensaries under
the three-fourths clause, the rate per
cent. being from one and half to
two and haif-say an average of tive
per cent per anaum The average
stock of the local dispeusaries is 81
000 We have ainety dispeusaries
Cancel all your insurance policies and
assess each dispeosary, TO be charged
up~uuder the expense account, two
per cent. on its stock. which would
raise an average of $40 from each dis
pensary, total $500. Put this in
the bank to be known as The insur-
aoce fund aud TO be drawn upon only
in the event Of fire when the loss sue-
tanned could be paid in full and not
upon the three fourth per cent. basis.
The amount of premiums paid out
have amounted to more than 1000
per year more than the losses. If you
should fortunately escape fire for two
or three years. the insurance fund
would be so large that the rate per
cent. Of the assessment for protection
could be safely reduced" :"

have placed that beyond controversy,
and the same rule has been observed
in the senate The only question be-
fore the house is: Shall the report be
accepted or rejected as whole For
that reason no motion relating to
sugar, cotton ties, cotton bagglng or
any other item of the report Is in
order. The vote will be taken as to the
entire report and it is only by defeat
ing the report as a whole that it
would be possible to reach any
special item. Should the entire re-
port be rejected, then motion would
be in order to recommit the bill to
the conference with instructions on
any particular subject. The strength
of the report lies in its entirety"

More Far-Reaching Than Pre-
vious Orders.

Judge Simonton has had all the
facts about the running of the origi-
nal store opened by Mr.. W B.
Meetze in this city, laid before him,
and the manner Of breaking open
cases of liquor and selling the stuff
out by the bottle has been thorough
~ explained to him. And the result
is that he has issued temporary in
junction in two cases-one for the
beer company represented by Mr.
Meetze, and the other for the whis-
key company represented by him
which is more far-reching than any
he has yet issued and under which
Mr. Meetze is bound to proceed with
the sale of his liquors just as he start.
ed out, at least until Aug 9 Judge
Simonton has gone so far in this
latest order as to restrain the States
officers from interfering with Mr.
Meetze even by injunction in the
State courts. it having been expected
that such would be the next move on
the part of the State
Yesterday morning, Mr.. P q.
Nelson. representing Mr.. Meetze,
went to Flat Rock, N c., and ap-
peared before Judge Simonton pre-
senting to him complaint or the
part of the Robert Portner Brewing

Charles NJ. Pfeifer u Co.. Mr..
Meetze selling beer for the former as
agent and whiskey for the latter.
Mr.. Nelson explained 70 the Judge
very fully how Mr.. Meetze had re-
ceived HE liquor, how he had open

the bottles separately. Last night
Mr.. Nelson returned with an order

Washington. July ia poll of

attention to day he said : II will vote
for the bill if my vote is necessary

When be made this assertion day
or two ago it was not thought that
one vote would decide the fate OF the
bill, but that was Senator TilIman's
impression at the time The effect

Senator Tilman's policy in voting
for the tariff bill is not supported by
the South Carolina members of the
house. They deplore his course in
the matter and express great appre.
hension that it may be disastrous to
the Reform movement in the State.
1t is Senator Tillman's belief that
the passage of the bill will end in
the disruption CT the Republican
party and the immediate result will
be the election of Democratic con-
gress next year. He is alone in the
entertainment of this opinion and is

perts in this intricate grade of work.
part of his extensive stock is made
up of silverware and silver novelties, to
which is added fine display of watches
and diamonds, and in the line of opals
and turquoise, it is doubtful if there is a
collection of these beautiful gems in the
territory which will compare with the
display that may be seen at any time in
Mr.. Spitz' show cases. Tourists wishing
w PURCHASE turquoise may mere ma
great variety from which to make their
selections, ranging In price from so cents
to $3.50, and the same is true of opals.
