of the necessity for reduction in the

man of that committee, was in Colum-
bia few days ago and handed the
printer the revised schedule of prices.
In general way, however, it may be
stated that there is no change whatever
iu the prices of the ordinary grades of
liquor sold in the dispensaries. The
reductions have ali been made on the
fine whiskies, case goods, ETC., vines.
ales, porter and beer. The chief Change
consists in the placing on the market of
a-three- for a-quarter beer. The new
price lists will doubtless be sent out
in few days and the dispen-
sers all over the State instructed to
make their sales in accordance with
them. This is the first time that an ef-
fort has been made by the dispensary
authorities to meet the competition OF
the o. P. stores in various sections of
the State, but now o. p. agencies are
rurning in nearly every town and it
becomes necessary for the State to meet

Six Dispensaries in the State--Look
Out for Counterfeit Dollars.

Sheriff Hugh Ferguson, of Charles
ton county, is dead. Cause, heart
trouble. In the fierce heat of the party
warfare during the days of &c he was a
leader, and did as much if not more
than any other man in the State to
elect Hampton Governor. His great
strength and popularity were with the
people, and during his long public
career he never attempted to organize
personal party. As sheriff of Charles
ton county he was faithful to every de-
tail of duty, taking great pride IN the
affairs of his Office. Only those who
knew him best learned the depth OF
that interest and how necessary was
his judgement. Mild and quiet in
manner, his ''yes" or 'tno" was more
emphatic than most mems adjective:
He knew how to sympathize with any
one in trouble and knew how to express
that sympathy in word and deed. Mr..
Ferguson gave generously to charity
and few who appealed to HIM for aims
were turned away. His heart was as
big as his body and hundreds OF poor
people have been helped from his purse.
Hugh Ferguson was born in Ireland 63
years ago, and went to Charleston when
amere lad and entered as an apprentice
with Mr.. David Lopez. After serving
out his time he went into business for
himself, engaging in the contracting
and building business with Mr.. Sawner.
They were the largest contractors in
Charleston, and among other work built
the Union warehouse and wharves. Mr..
Ferguson also had a contract with the
Confederate government to build the
wharves at Castle Pinckney. When the
war came on he was one Of the first to
volunteer, entering the service in Was-
ener's artillery, serving as first lieu
tenant. During his service in the army
he made q brave officer, doing many
gallant deeds. Col. Ferguson s success
sor will be appointed by Governor Ell
lerbe to fill out the unexpired term,
which has about three years to run.
1t is generally supposed that primary
will be held to make choice for the
Office, the Governor to make the ap-
pointment according to the county's Sc
lection.
