FIGHT ON THE STATE BOARD.

An interesting development was the
inquiry along the line of an alleged con-
splracy to abolish the State board of
control. Mr.. Williams asked Black
whether he had heard Of Il conspiracy
existing among certain public men to
abolish the board, especially in the
state House. Mr.. Black said that he
had heard of it.
Answering Mr.. Williams further,
who put the pointed question to him
whether he was in the conspiracy or
not, MIR. Black denied it but said that
he had heard that he and Secretary Of
State Cooper were in it. Furthermore
he had heard two prominent members
of the legislature say last night that the
board ought to be abolished and they
would work to that end.
Replying to further questions, he
said that he ha,. talked to Colonel
Vance about it but that Colonel Vance
was too much of gentleman TO 60 any
thing against the present management
in an undcrhandcd way and their con-
Vcrsatton was simply discussion of
political talk.
In answer to Mr.. Williams he en-
phatical]y denied that he had ever tried
to "hy blow' the present dispcnsary
administration. lie had talked to Mr..
McB. Sloan about abolishing the board
of control.
The board passed resolutions exon.
Grating all parties. Iazelden offered
resolution TO look into the contra
band books.

DISPENSARY CONSPIRACY,
LOOKING INTO AN ALLEGED PLOT TO
ABOLISH THE STATE BOARD.
sensation Caused by sales to Employees
and Without Reports hut All Con-
cernCd ExOnomtcd
Especial to Grccnvillc News

Columbia. s. G., Sept. 6.-Something
of sensation was sprung today in dis
pcnsary circles. Shipping Clerk Black
| reported that Commissioner Douthit
| was sending out goods without report
| ing them - him as required by Il rcso-
luton OF the board so as to keep track
ofau goods. He also charged Super
intcndent Bryant with selling whiskcy
to employees Of tho dispcnsary. Twas
clearly shown and admitted that liuuor
was sold to employees Of the dispcnsary
and one Of the number q minor. Som,
of the old employees we're brought up
and said that they had never bought
liquor except from Bryant.
superintendent Bryant said that he
had spoken about the sales to Commits
sioner Vance and Commissioner Dou-
thit knew that he was making the
sales rs he saw the money turned in.
Bryant admitted making the sales, but
said he thought he was doing what he
had Il right TO do.
AS to the irregularities by Douthit,
he said that he sent out the goods simp-
ly to save trouble. He did not re-
port to tho shipping clerk because as
he had explained to the board pre-
viously, it was Il cumbersome and use
less trouble to report every small sale
and the board had consented to his
entering such small sales on the cash
book.
One reason he sent beer seized in Co.
lumbia out for sale at half price was so
as not to allow the beer to spoil while
Black was not present. On another oc-
casion he juggcd and sent to local dis
pcnsarics cider long in stock, and sent
to dispcnsarcs as an cxpcrim mt to sec
whether they could sell it, On another
occasion he sent case of wines to each
OF the d,spcnsarics here. The goods
were sent here by Garrett for dis.
tribution to dispensers to be used by
them as samples for Introducing goods.
1T was also charged that Douthit
changed number Of orders where the
White Seal brand was ordered and sub
stitutcd Mercantile Club and another
brand and sent out other goods not
| ordered. He explained that the dis
pcnsary was no longer selling White
Seal and he had to substitute goods of
| about the same price, and that he sub
| stitutcd where the goods were not in
| stock.

Columbia, Sept. THE State Board
Of Control is in session this week. Sew.
eral gentlemen were down from New
berry this week, and from what | can
learn several more will bs back this af-
tcrnoon. The first came with pcti-
tion to have the location Of the beer
dispcnsary at Newberry changed TO
another part of town. The chairman
of the Board told Ic that the petition
would be granted. And in addition to
that, the Board of Control for NewOer-
ry had been summoned to appear here
On Friday morning to investigate GER
tain matters in connection with the
election Of the dispenser. There are Il
great many rumors aloat in COiincc-
tion with this election, and some Of
them are of a damaging nature. These
rumors have reached the State Board
in such shape rs to cause the Board to
order the investigation. The whole
matter, | presume, will be aired to-
morrow morning.

The State Board is also engaged in
Investigating the State Commissioner.
The charges were that the commits
sioncr had been shipping goods and
delivering some odds and ends without
letting them go through the regular
channels, and that the superintendent
had been selling to employees. These
charges were admitted, but the Board
found nothing wrong, and passed Il
resolution to that effect. Twas Il little
irregular, and that will be changed,
but nothing criminal was developed
against any Of them.

Tn the death of DR.. Gricr, not only
has his Church and his college suffered,
but the State has sustained a great loss.
He was one Of the few great men Of
this day. Dr. Carlisle, Of WolTord, is
another, and CrOmcr, Of NcwbCrry, is
another. These are men who were
willing to sacrifice that they may do
good to their Church and their fellow
man. The great mass Of men aud u
ma GRITTY Of ministers Of the gospel gen
orally find the path Of duty and the di-
rcction OF Providence where there is
the biggest salary, and where there is
the greatest opportunity for them to
crafty WHAT the world calls Il laudable
ambition. But these three have, and
arc holding fast and working hard with
the struggling college Of their Church
on smaller salaries than they could
easily have commanded elsewhere. 1t
takes great man to fling worldly ease,
and comfort and earthly fame to the
winds to take up work Of love and
sacrifice. DR.. Gricr cXcrtcd an inilu-
cncc for good, which extends far be-
yond the borders OF his own Church,
and beyond the limits Of his own State.
And he was still in the full vigor Of
manhood.

The vaporings of the Voice about
jealousy and envy are amusing and the
statement that other papers we're try
ing TO arouse factional strife because
they did not publish several columns Of
thcspccches OF the hedistinguishcd speak
ers who were in our midst Is absurd
and ridiculous. There were other mat.
tcrs that needed attention, even if
these speeches had been considered of
enough Importance as news to have re-
ported them fully. The Voice is
struggling very hard to revive faction
al feeling, but she don't go. Every tub
has got to stand on It's own bottom, and
we can no longer hope to live on bitter
ness and strife. The Herald and News
wishes the Voice we'll, and would like
to see it succeed and If the boost given
1t by those distinguished men will do it
good, we shall be glad. We have no
envy or jealousy OF our contemporary.

THE IMPORTATION OF MONKEYS
organ-Grinders Do Not Carry Them
 uere NnmadaYs

Ofgan-Gftnders Do Not Garry Them
 Here Nowadays.
 \ man who had missed the mon keys formerly carried about by organ grinders in the city streets. and who had attributed their disappearance to the changed conditions of the organ grinding business. to the substitution Of the big piaHo-organ on wheels, managed by two persons for the old fashioned smaller hand-organ, that WAS carried about by the player. found upon inquiry that. whatever influence the changed conditions might have had. the carrying of monkeys by or gangrinders is now prohibited here bx a city ordinance. There are, how ever places i'll which the monkey still forms q valuable part Of the organ grinders outfit, and where the nimble little animal. clad i'll an embroidered jacket and wearing a fancy hat, which 1t doffs for the pennies still climbs fences and rainWater= conductors, and hops Up on porehes quite ill the old familiar way, in search of contribu= tions. While monkeys are not per- mitted here, there are men who buy monkeys and train them to sell to organ grinders who can use them else where. and well=trained monkey sometimes brings as much as $50. It had seemed with fewer monkeys in sight, as though there must be fewer monkeys now imported, but the fact appears to be that if anything, the importation is just now rather greater than usual due to the increased de mand from the show people, who are, after all, the greatest purchasers of monkeys in this country, The organ grinders use a considerable number; q few. comparatively, are sold for zo- ological collections and in recent years few have been sold for pets; but the largest buyers of monkeys are the travelling shows, of which there are, besides the great, modern, consoli= datees bows, many smaller ones, show ing iii smaller towns throughout the country. Take them all together and these shows use up a good many monkeys. The life of a monkey on the road is usually but a single season. The show reneWs it's stock of monkeys every year.

Mr. Neumann, in his narrative Of Elephant Hunting in East Africa, ; thus tells of narrow escape from death T as on the point of sitting down in grass, when something that looked like a toad caught my eve beside my boot. Thinking I had in= adTertentiy trodden on harmless rep tile, l was about to move my foot in compassion, when I noticed a black, fofked tongue darting vieiously close to my right foot; and looking more carefully, I saw that what I had taken for toad was the yillianeus triangu- Lar head of a puff adder. on whose neck I had set my foot It's body was swollen as big as ny thigh. By 3 providential chance I held it so fast in this way that it could not move it's head to strike. Having my rife with ne put the mHzzle to it's head and sent a bullet through it's brain. It measured four feet eight inches in length.

 A Curious Rescue.

A curious rescue was effected recent ly in the County Wicklow, Ireland Some time in April last an unfortunate sheep became imprisoned on a part of the rugged cliffs arising from the banks of the Upper Lake Glendaloueh, and thoue many plans were proposed to get it down, no one was found will7 ing to undertake the risk, when gen. tleman from South Africa volunteered to rescue the poor animal. After an arduous and exciting climb, he man. aged to reach the spot, and, having at tached a rope to the sheep. it was lowered to the lake, where a boat was ready to receive it. So hungry was L 3 poor brute that when dangling in the air it tried to bite at the tufts of grass on the face of the cliff. It must have died of starvation in very few days more, as every bit of herbage within reach was nibbled to the earth Some idea of the risk this rescuef ran may be gathered from the fact that this particular spot has always been considered inaccessible. and that it took the gentleman fully two hours to make the ascent. The lake under the cliff is ferty fathoms deea.

RUSSIA ABREAST OF THE TIMES
Frauds in the Construction of the Si-
 berian Railway.


 berian Railway.
 It is not known that those in charge of the construction of the Siberian railway were ever under the tute1age of the members of the American Credit Mobilier, but, judging by reports that come from that region, they would have been apt pupils. They certainly have trick or two that would put their American compatriots to the blush. It appears that the different works have been executed in a man. her that shows very little conscience. Everything, or nearly everything, will lave to be done over again before the aHf a9ities can think of throwing open
 satic line to regular working. ll.any places the road gives Ns n the passage of train little fes er than usual or travelling at a sfe l Of more than twenty miles an hour, and accidents more or less grave are continually happening. More than usual courage is demanded of any one undertaking q journey on this rail- way. This construction a Ia Russo has already swallowed up hundreds of nlil- lions of rubles, or, to speak more trHthfully, the constructors and not the construction have absorbed the millions. People are beginning to ask how it will finish. There is still more. Several Siberian journals, which are, moreover, closely controlled by the local eensors, publish the following statements: For several months the naYYy contractors have not been paid in cash despite the terms of their contracts. The engineers in charge, who represent the government, de- clared that they had no more money and the contractors must be satisfied with bonds, which the Siberian and Chinese banks have for some time discounted at 81a per cen. Frequently these bonds were not paid on falling due, and in consequence the banks re- fuse to act any longer as intermedia- fies between the government engineers and the contractors. It was only when one of these engineers, Prince A, who had made fortune, undertook to be personally responsible to the banks that they resumed the functions Of discount brokers. But the princes guaranty is somewhat costly. seeing that he claims little fee of 15 per cent. The contractors are furious, but they find themselves helpless, owing to the clause inserted in all the con- tracts to the effect that disputes be- sween the engineers and the contract ofs of the line have to be settled in St. Petersburg. To lodge a complaint 6,000 miles from the spot where the circumstances have occurred is at least ineonYenient and would entail years delay. The position of the unfortu= nate naYyies themselves can be imag ined from the treatment of the con tractors. Their wages are paid very frregularly and always with. deduc- tions. Badly fed and badly lodged, it is not surprising if they give only half heart to the work.

ESTIMATE SIZE OF THE SUN
Comparisons Show It to Be Yer,
 Large Affair."

The earth on which We stand is. no doubt mighty globe, measuring as it does 5000 miles in diameter. vet what are it's dimensions in comparison with those of the sun? If the earth be rep resented by a grain Of mustard seed, then on the same scale the sun should be represented by a cocoanut. Per haps, however, a more impressive con- ception of the dimensions of the great orb of day may be obtained in this way: Think of the moon. the queen of the night. which circles monthly around our heavens, pursuing as she does a majestic track at distance of 240000 miles from the earth. Yet the snn is so vast that if it were a hollow ball the moon could revelve in the or bit which it now follows and still be entirely inelosed within the suns in terior. For every acre on the surface of our globe there are more than 10000 acres on the surface of the great lum- mary. Every portion of this fllimit- able desert of flame is pouring forth torrents of heat. 1t has, indeed, been estimated that if the heat which is in- cessantiy flowing through any single square foot of the suns exterior could be collected and applied beneath the boilers of an Atlantic liner, it would suffice to produce steam enough to sus- tain in continuous movement those en- zines of 3o,o00-horse power which en- able a superb ship to break the record between Ireland and Amefiea.-Pear- sons Weekly.
