The State Board of Control has Off
cially chopped Off the heads Of Conmis-
sloncr's l}Ookkccpcr QUITS and DisDcn-
scrs Lynch and BOokman OF this city,
and has left standing the order for the

Dispenser Stelling OF Charleston was
| also about to fall in the basket ycstcr-
day when it was decided to allow Il
hearing in his case. AS yet no success.
sor has been elected 20 fill Mr.. Doutbit's
place rs commissioner. The board
reached II breathing point in the sen
satiOnal weeks work about i O'Clock
yesterday afternoon and then took a
recess until next Wednesday night at
8 O'Clock, when tho commissioner will
probably be elected and other develop
mcnts will follow. Yesterday the i'm
pOrtant steps taken were on the double
quick, and there was no extended dis
cussiOn. 1t seems certain that the beer
privileges arc gone beyond recall.
The opportunity for arc consideration
was presented yesterday, but no one
took advantage Of it.
The board was quite slow in assem-
bling yesterday morning.
Very soon after the body was called
to order Mr.. Hascldcn, the chairman OF
the investigation committee, took the
loor and promptly moved that the srs-
pension Of Bookkccpcr ID. a. G. QUITS
hc made permanent.
Mr.. Robinson seconded the motion.
There was no discussion and Mr..
Miles put the question. The vote was
the same as in the removal of MIR. Dou-
thit, Mr. Boykin voting for Mr.. Will
liams as well Us himself. 1t had been
previously arranged that Mr.. Williams,
who was confined to his bed at his
hotel would be allowed to vote by proxy.
Mr.. Hascldcn, as soon as the result
was declared, moved that Mr.. Tom Col
Inns carry on the work of Mr.. Ouzts's
OIlicc until the new commissioner shall
be elected and has qualified. This was
agreed TO also.
THE BEER STU ALTON.
Mr.. Boykin at this juncturc moved
that the board take up and consider
the beer privilege matter, Il request
for consideration Of the Williams rcso-
luton having been made.
Mr.. nascldcn asked MIR. Boykin if II )
had any motion to make in regard to
the resolution.
-. Boykin-I have none.
"irm n Milcs-IJas any one any
C in this matter?
presented any motion and the
was dropped, leaving the viii
.ams resolution ordering the rcvoliing
Of all privileges on Nov. standing n-
tact, it being SO understood by the
members OF the hoard.
This action means it is said, that an
income OF $4,000 a year will be lost to
the State alter Novcmbcrl.
