The Register, Saturday: Governor
Ellerbe returned from Clemson college
Yesterday afternoon. He says the
board of trustees determined to post
pone the election of president of the
college until the meeting in August,
until they could look around and find
some man suitable for the place, though
by this no reflection is intended on the
various gentlemen who have been spo-
ken of in connection with the position.
The board simply wants to have as
many good men to choose from as pos
sible. The resignation of Prof. Quick,
of the chair of agriculture was accepted
and Prof. Newman was elected to sue
ceed him. The governor says the
board will carry out the recommenda
tions of the committee Of the board of
health as far as possible; but some of
them are impracticable.
Taxes Next Year.
Columbia correspondence News and
Courier, 10th : The payment of the
$4O,0 900 by the state dispensary into
the general fund in the state treasury
yesterday has relieved the situation in
regard to borrowing money somewhat.
State Treasurer Zimmerman says that
he has enough on hand just now to
run the government through till the
first Of September without being forced
to borrow money. Governor Ellerbe
talked interestingly about the impend-
ing deficit today. He says that by the
time the present surplus is exhausted
he expects that the state dispensary
will have paid in the balance of the
$92, 900 due the general fund. This
he hopes will carry things along until
the remittances from the fall collection
of taxes can begin to come in. He is
hopeful that the necessity for borrow
ing money for the current expenses of
the government, which amount to
$50, 900 a month, will in this way be
avoided. Of course there is, however,
no telling whether the dispensary will
he able to pay in the amount due or
not. Take the situation as you please,
it looks very much as if the tax levy
for the coming year, which has to be
made in January next, will have to
be considerably larger than the present
one.
Nabbed by Newbold.
Chester special of Monday to the
Columbia Register: Pending the de-
cision of Judge Simonton as TO whelh-
er or not he would make the injunction
in the Pinkussohn case permanent,
Mr.. Charlie Whitus, resident Of
Chester, was perfecting arrangements
with Messrs. Key & Co., of Statesvillc,
N. c., to act as their agent at this
point. After reading the decision of
Judge Simonton in Sunday mornings
Register, Mr.. Whitus thought now was
his opportunity to open his "original
package" store and conduct business
as agent of the Key Manufacturing
company, Statesville, N. G. Having a
stock of about 16 gallons of rye
whisky, put up in half-pints, pints,
quarts and half-gallons, Mr.. Whitus
opened his store doors promptly at
6 o'clock this morning. 1t was about
II o'clock when Chief State De-
tectiye Newbold, accompanied by
Constable Hood, appeared on the
scene and arrested Mr.. Whitus, confis.
Gated his whisky and carried him be-
fore Magistrate Williams, charged
with keeping a nuisance. He was
placed under bond to the amount OF
5000, which he promptly gave. Mr..
Whitus leaves for Charleston tonight,
where he goes to seek redress. There
were about four other "original pack
age" stores to open here this week,
but the fate of this first one has dis
heartened the parties who contem-
plated opening the others. I am in
formed by Mr.. Newbold that the state
will obtain an injunction against Mr..
Whitus.
