Violated the Law.

Qlite sensation was caused in Co.
lunbia on Wednesday by the arrest
of Mr.. R. +. Martin, one of the mem
bers OF the county board Of control,
upon charge OF official misconduc!
consisting Of violations of the dispen
sary law. The warrant was issued By
Magistrate Clarkson upon an atiiiavl.
made by E. B. Curtis, former local
dispensary clerk. In the affidavit Mr..
Martin is charged with frstviolation
of the dispensary law in that he
drank in a local dispensary and d
second violation Of the law IN that he
did not sign an application for the
nouor or pay for IL. When Mr.. Mar
tin appeared before Magistrate Clark
son the magistrate consented TO delay
the preliminary examination until
May l, and Mr.. Martin gave bond
for his appearance at that time. The
case is the first of its kid to be
brought and in view of the circum-
stances will doubtless be watched
with much interest through the courts
It involves the question as to whether
members of the boards OF control can

his name was Jones, and that Ae lived
in a little village in South eastern
Arkansas, until the fl oods OF the Mis-
sissippi swept the country and took
away his little all with the property
Of all the inhabitants IN that section.
He says that he and his wife are no"

that so far on their trip they have had

should suffer deprivation and rebutfS

transportation when fortune favored
them; and why they did not share in
the general relief fund appropriated

and that by the time each sufferer
secured his or her prorata share Of the
fund. it would be about 35 cents each.

Mr.. Campbell. in response to a call

Mr.. Campbell, in response to call
for his opinions in the double capacity
Of railroad man and Tennessean:
said that while he was not accustomed
to speak, he wanted to say that Nash
vile will receive the Confederate vet
erans with open arms, and that the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
railroad will offer every facility pos
sible to make the gathering success
full one. He hoped to see the Palmet-
tos waving in the breeze On the streets
of Nashville in the same profusion as
at Richmond year ago.
Mr.. Latimer said that he had been
travelling over South Carolina lately
and from all he had heard the pros
poets Of large meeting here were
very bright. He said that he would
escort the South Carolina delegation

all in MS power to make the trip an
enjoyable one.

reunion. but he felt certain now that
such an inconvenience would be obvi-
a;ed. He mentioned the work of the
Reunion club, which will canvass the
city to secure quarters in private
homes, and he did not doubt that with
their help comfortable apartments
could be secured for all.
Chairman Parks in speaking Of the
point made by Mr.. Cunningham, said
that when Nashville was first selected
as the place for the reunion he was
afraid the undertaking was too large
and ,hat they would fall short Of
Richmond ia their efforts. Now he
felt that they would outstrip that city,
and that Nashville will have the lar
gest reunion ever held, and the largest
that will ever be held by the Confed-
crate veterans. He said that commit
tees have been appointed to look after
the comfort and entertainment Of the
visiting veterans, and nothing will be
left undone to make every one enjoy
themselves. The Nashville daughters
OF the Confederacy will entertain their
visiting sisters during their stay, and
see that they are comfortable and en-.
tertaired in good style. He closed by
saying: We want you all to come,

Hungry for Sugar Eests.

\ Washington Dispatch says the
agricultural department is being in
portuned from all parts. OF the coun-
try for sugar beet seed. IN view OF
the unsatisfactory price received for
staple crops during the past few years
and the prospective increase in the
duty or the sugar, farmers in all sec
tions Of the Union evldently y intend to
experiment with sugar beet culture.
Heretofore sugar beet growing has
bsen confined almost exclusively to
Nebraska, Kansas and California.
The agricultural department has sent
beet seed this spring to about 30 States
and territories, the demandlcomes from
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, the
Dakotas, Texas, New Mexico, Iowa,
Missouri, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Ken
lucky and Virginia. There have also
been requests from Pennsylvania and
New York. 4 Nebraska sugar rein
ing company donated five tons OF beet
seed 10 the department and the depart
ment purchased two tons additional.
The supply is about exhausted by the
demand. Ifsuccesstul, the industry
will probably be developed n many
Of the States in which experiments are
made this year, supplsrting corn and
wheat.

HELD FOR FORGERY.
Governor Ele.bs Has Charleston Law

yer Arrested.
The Columbia State says Governor
Ellerbe, after making considerable
effort, has succeeded in having W. E.
Klein, an attorney practicing at the
Charleston bar, arrested on the seri,
Gus charge of forgery. So far the
governor says something over 81, 800
in forgeries have been traced up and
laid at the door of Mr.. Klein. IT ap
pears that he is charged with forging
the signature of the master of Charles
ton county to certain certificates
to direct tax claims sent here
during the administration OF
Governor Evans. Upon the forged
certificates the money was ordered
psid to him. The affidavit is made
by Mr.. W. Gihbes Whaley, master OF
Charleston county. Governor Ellerbe
was informed that Klein had gone to
Birmingham and he had wired there
asking the authorities to arrest and
hold him.
Wednesday afternoon he received a
dispatch from Magistrate r. G. Gil.
christ of Charleston stating that Klein
was in his custody, but that he bad not
committed him as he was getting
oondsmen.
Governor Ellerbe found the case
open when he came into office. The
matter had been talked over during
Governor Evans administration. but
nothing was done aside from efforts
being made to compromise 1t.
It seems that, as stated above, the
master has to sign certain certificates
in the matter of these direct tax claims
which had to be sent on to the COVER
nor before the money was paid out to
anyone. The certificates, which were
shown to Master Whaley, and pro.
nounced to be forgeries so far as
his signature was concerned, were
carefully examined and are being
held as evidence. a short time
ago Gov. Ellerbe sent for Mr.. Wha-
ley and about ten days ago he made
the proper affidavit and the warrant.
for Klein's arrest was Issued. Cover
nor ElIerbe Wednesday night stated
that he had traced up already forge
ries amounting to some 81, 800 and he
didn't know how much more he
would find.
The governor, in speaking OF this
particular case to representative OF
The State, said that he proposed to
push it to the end He also took occa
sion to say that all State or county Of
6cials who fall short in their accounts
under his administration, or who may
have already been found short, may
as well understand now and at once
that they cannot expect any mercy
from him. He stated empnaticallY
that he proposed to have every such
case that was broug ht to light prosecut
ed to the full extent of the law, and
no compromise must be expected by
anyone.

evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DR.. Kilmers
Swamp Root, the great kidney rem
edy, fulflls every wish in relieving
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad-
der and every part of the urinary pas
sages. 1t corrects inability to hold
urine and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled
to get up many times during the night
to urinate. The mild and the eXtraOr-
binary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need medicine you

We have in our possession program
of the commencement exercises of the
Kent College of Law, Chicago, on the
9th of May. Among the list of gradu-
ates are two familiar names: Andrew

graduate of the class of '94, and Frank

A citizen of this city was driving on
the Burlington road Tuesday afternoon
and when in the vicinity of the brick
yard saw horse some distance ahead
of him approaching on the run. His
first thought was that It's driver was
probably drunk, but when the car
rage came nearer and the horse came
down to trot it became evident that
the driver was missing. The citizen
turned out, allowing the horse to pass
and continued on his way. A little
further up the road he met an old lady
of about Y years much bruised and
bleeding, trudging along in the direc
ton of the runaway. She said that her
home was at Somers station and that
her horse had taken fright at white
horse lying at the side Cf the road and
by jumping suddenly to one side had
thrown her out, causing the bruises
noticeable on her face and hands. She
was picked up and taken on by a farm
er who happened along at that time.
