CLUB on TOP.
New Issues Under the Dispensary
Law in Columbia.
Special to The Daily News.

Columbia, 5. c., Oct. GA
curious dispensary case was heard
today i'll the mayors court. The
officers of a newly organized club
were accused under the law of
keeping a nuisance and selling
liquor. They demanded a iurv
trial, which was granted, and six
good men sat.
The defense denied the Iurisdic-
ton of the mayors court and the
jury held that the court had no
jurisdiction and the constables
were forced to restore sixty
eight bottles of beer, nire quarts
of whiskey and two and half
barrels of rye which they had
seized.
The club rolls showed that over
200 men signed and all testified
that they had to sign the book be-
fore they could get a drink.
The contention was that this
entitled the parties to the privi-
leges of the club which included
drinks. The case is likely to &C
to the circuit court, but for the
present the club is on top.

Cotton Logic.
Chester Lantern.

"Cotton does not pay the actual
cost of production, yet l am
Obliged to raise cotton to pay my
debts.' This is the substance OF
much talk that we hear, and how
absurd. If it pays debts, there
must be some profit in it; if il
does not pay for production, then
surely there is nothing left to pay
debts.

A meeting of the committee OF the
State Teachers Association having in
charge the movement to secure the
establishment of free public library
in each county of the State was held
recently at the Enoch Pratt Free Lii
brary, Baltimore. 1t is proposed to
ask the Legislature for the passage of
an enabling act to permit the counties
to vote on the question of a special
tax to establish and maintain the IL
braries.
The plan is to have the library To-
Gated at the county town and mana
ged SO that it's contents can be circu-
lated through the county. Already
considerable sentiment in favor of the
movement has been aroused through
out the State, and the committee has
received assurances of support from a
number of leading educators.
Another bill which is to be submit
ted to the Legislature appropriates
500 for each county in the State as a
nucleus for the starting of a free pub
lie library, and provides for com
mission of seven to have general SUI
pervision. This commission is to be
composed of the State board of edu-
cation, president of the State Teach
ers' Association and four others to be
appointed by the Governor.
The members of the committee who
were present at the meeting were DR..
Bernard Steiner, DR.. Thomas Fell, of
Annapolis, Prof. E. B. Prettyman,
principal of the State Normal School,
and Prof. G. F. Raddatz, of the Balti-
more City College.

Oil struck in Garrett.

A few days ago number of men
were engaged in digging ditch to
carry water to saw mill on the
Yough Manor tract of land about
twelve miles north of Oakland, when
one of the laborers, Mr.. Jacob Sines,
struck his pick in assure of rock
and upon withdrawing the tool a
stream of pure petroleum oil flowed
out and continued to flow for several
minutes. This fact was at once com
municated to the owners of the land
who have endeavored to keep the
matter quiet in the hope, no doubt,
of quietly securing options on all adj
joining lands. The matter has leaked
out, however, and we make the above
statement just as it was related to us
by gentleman who is in a position
to know.

ticing his profession in Garrett coun-
| ty. In 1898 he was nominated for the

seventeen years, and has successfully
taught in the public schools of that
county every year. He never held
