GOVERNOR ELLERBE DEAD.

South Cardinals Chief Magistrate q
Victim of Consumption.
Charleston, June 3.-William Hazel
den Ellerbe, governor of South Caro-
lima, died near Dillon last evening.
About two weeks ago he went, in the
last stages of consumption, from the
governors residence at Columbia,
where he had been an invalid for
months, to his plantation home in
Marion county. He was descendant of
Captain Thomas Ellerbe, of Marion
brigade, who came to this state from
Virginia in 1878. He was born in 1862
and educated at Wofford college and
Vanderbilt university. He was plan.
ter and merchant at the inception OF
the Tillman movement in 1886, and
was elected comptroller in 1890. In
1896 he was elected governor, carrying
every county in the state except one,
receiving the votes of many conserva-
tive men, as he had proclaimed his de-
termination to know no faction.
When the Spanish war was pro-
claimed he promptly seconded the call
of the president for volunteers, and his
appointment of officers gave general
satisfaction. In November. 1885, he
was reelected governor. after hot
campaign and over a most formidable
opposition, many conservatives claim
ing that he had not fulfilled his pledges.
He warmly approved the Spanish
war, saying in his speech to the volun-
teers: 1--WE are all Americans. The
sentiment Of every American, of every
rarN iY,fp t,
faction will not divide us, that section.
alism will not destroy this republic"
His domestic life has been a happy
and beautiful one. He leaves his widow
and six children valuable landed es-
tates In Marion county.
He will be succeeded by Lieutenant
Governor Miles B. McSweeney, of
Hampton county, former Charleston
printer boy who has risen through his
own exertions.

Harrisburg, june 3.--GOvernor Stone
accepted the resignation of James
Sweeney as Waterman of the state IL
brary yesterday in letter in which
he denies that he has anything to do
with the contest in Tioga county for

To Tax Michigan Mines,

Lansing, June 3.-The house yester-
day afternoon agreed in committee of
the whole to the bill taxing mining
companies in the upper peninsula, and
friends of the bills claim enough votes
to pass 1t in both branches. Under 1t
copper mining companies are required
to pay a specific tax of from one
sixteenth of cent per pound on an
annual output of 100000 pounds, to
one-half cent per pound on an
output exceeding 50,0O0,000 pounds.
Iron mining companies are required to
pay three cents on each ton of ore. It
is estimated that from the copper
mines this will raise $1.2O0,O00 and
from the iron mines $4,000.
