Big FURRY In Cotton.
A telegram received by Yorkville
cotton men Thursday afternoon, an
nounced the failure of the well-known
house of Price, Mccormick & Co., of
New York. Yesterday mornings pa
pers contained further particulars.
For several months past this house has
been virtually controlling the market
on the bull side. Rapidly breaking
prices, caused largely by favorable
crop reports from the south, precipita-
ted the crisis. The liabilities of the
concern are estimated at $1S,000,000,
most of which is said to be secured.
As the result of the failure, May con-
tracts broke 7s points down to S.4S, a
decline of 12O points from high water
mark. The failed firm had branch
houses in about 80 cities.
The Dispensary School Fund.
The comptroller general has appor-
toned dispensary funds under the law
providing that each school district be
entitled to an aggregate of SIS for each
school. York county gets $1,000.
Horny gets $2,217,S4. The law under
which this distribution is made is very
defective. The apportonment is with
out reference to per capita attendance
but only with reference to the num-
ber of schools. For instance, if a
district should have a dozen schools
and be entitled to only 500 from the
regular school fund, under this law it
would be entitled to $500 additional
from the dispensary fund. In addition
to the $109.02 on the deficiency basis,
York county is also entitled to the
sum of S2,69S.95 on the basis of en-
rollment. This sum has been duly ap-
portioned.

Death of II. G. Patton.
Mr.. Henry Cowper Patton, of Colum-
bia, died in the Johns Hopkins Hos.
pital, Baltimore, last Tuesday morn
ing as the result of surgical opera
ton performed about week before.
Mr.. Patton was only SO years of age /;
but was generally conceded to be one
of the most brilliant young men of the
state. He represented Richland coun-
ty in the constitutional convention and
has since been the leader of the Rich
land delegation in the house. He was
a law partner of the late Col. j. K.
Aston until the death of the latter.
He will be remembered particularly
on account of his fight against divorce
in the constitutional convention, and
later on account of his efforts to secure
the redistricting of the state along
more reasonable and convenient lines.
The funeral took place on Wednesday
afternoon and was largely attended.
Union Health Board Hot.
Says Union special of Wednesday
to The News and Courier: "The
board of health resigned in a body at
a special meeting Wednesday night.
Resolutions were passed denouncing
the author of a circular signed by IT.
Q. Duncan, so far as reference is made
to the board, as cowardly aud SIAN
derous liar. "Cowardly in that he
confessed to each of US that his circu-
lar was bluff, and slanderous in that
he sought falsely to injure US for the
aggrandizement of his own interest" "
They charge the governor with failure
to cooperate and meet the issue brave
ly and in manly way, and denounce
Evans for professional discourtesy and
practically placing Duncan in charge
of the vaccination by shipping vaccine
tubes to Duncan. They charge the
governor with being more interested
in reelection than the enforcement of
law and order, and say: "Whereas,
we realize Duncan is representing a
million and half dollars incorporated
capital, more potent factor in poll
tics than the board of health" They
further charge Duncan with violating
the law by interfering with the board
of health in the legal discharge of its
duties, and in delaying, aindering and
interfering with imperative vaccina-
ton. The resolutions adopted are
lengthy and will create quite sensa-
tion here and in the state at large.
