SENSATION PROMISED.
The South Carolina Dispensary Officials
 to Be Arrested


 Columbia. S. C., May 4.-As a result of the investigations made by the attorney general into the conduct of certain off, cials of the state dispensary. it is likely that some arrests will be made tomorrow of prominent officials The charge against them is that they appropriated to their own use cigars, lemons, etc., which were seized along with certain liquors alleged to have been illegally shipped into the state. They will also be charged with using themselves and giving away to friends such contraband liquors which belonged rightfully to the state. The attorney general will not state whom he will arrest, but rumor connects the name of an ex-commissioner and a prominent clerk with the arrests. The testimony collected by the attorney general will be made public tomorrow and will create a. big sensation politically and otherwise.

Going for the Doctors.

ton has adopted rule to omit the
title DR." in spe aking OF a physician.
This is a retail atiun upon the Southern
Illinois Medical ass collation. that eX-
pel.ed two members because they adj
vertised. In OAio the doctors are
fighting proprietary medicines and
some of the publishers threaten In
every death notice to mention the
name of the attending physician.
1t is a principle of medical ethics
that physician shall not advertise
himself; that is, that he snail not pay
for advertising. In the view of the
gwigs in the profession, it is undign-
flied for docior to buy newspaper
space, but it IS not improper foe him to
get all the free adve. using that the
papers are willing to give MIN. He
may be mentioned ''among those pre-
sent" at a party. He may go into
politics. He may be interviewed as to
the condition OF some dis5ing ulsheo
