TIGERS CAUSE TROUBLE.
State Board Asks Mayor and
Chief to Show Cause---Radi-
cal Action is Taken.

At the opening session Of the regular
monthly meeting of the State board o5
control yesterday afternoon good
sized bombshell was dropped upon
the matter of the enforcement OF the
dispensary law in Charleston. 1t came
in the form of the following resolu-
ton which was promptly adopted:
Resolved, That the mayor and
chief of police of the city Of Charles
ton are hereby accorded the privilege,
and and are SO requested to appear at the
Office of the State board Of directors IN
Columbia, S. g., on the 18th inst, at
10 O'Clock a. m., to show cause, II any Il!
they have, why=the dispensray profits
accruing to said city should not be
withheld under Sec. 8 of the dlspen-
sary law, to be used for the better en-
forcement Of said law.
This step on the part of the board
seems to be entirely unexpected.
There was no intimation Of the matter
until the resolution was presented and
adopted so far as the public is aware,
The resolution is, however, very plain
and emphatic in its terms, and has
the ring Of something doing about
Il. No doubt it twill create quite a
stir in Charleston. 1t may mean the
Inauguration of new plan to. bring
about the enforcement Of the law IN
Charleston. Its possibilities are many.

AN AWFUL DAY IN NEW YORK.

New York, July 3.-Rain storms OF
today, with consequent fall IN temper.
atnre. we're a Godsend to the bulk OF
sweltering humanity in this city AS
soon as the last storm Of the afternoon.
had passed over the temperature i'm n
mediately began to ascend. The wind,
which blew during the storm, also.
commenced to abate very rapidly, I'M
tilt assumed the proportions OF a
slight breeze only. These atmospheric
conditions, coupled with thesvery
considerable humidity which as an at
termath Of the downfall of water from
the clouds, made the suffering almost
as intense as it was when the ther-.
nometer had registered several degrees
higher.
Most of the hospitals are already
crowded to their utmost capacity and.
many of them have erected tents on
their grounds for the accommo datlon OF
the heat victims.
The death rate has increased with.
such rapidity that the morgue is being
taxed as it never was before and every
available foot of that institution IS
now occupied by corpses. Hospital
attendants are collapsing under the eS-
traordinary strain to which they have
been subjected, and were it not for the.
volunteers who have come to their aid,
the situation would be greatly exag-
gerated by enforced neglect of heat
patients.

ternoon, declared the constitution and
the declaration Of independence insep-
arabic and said the constitution with
out It would be dead. Mr.. Bryan said
the nation will never outgrow the dec
laration until it forsakes the doctrine
of the consent Of the governed.
The abolition Of the declaration, he
said. would cause US to lose the re-
spect of all nations and the adoption
of brute force policy would ultimate
II lead to the downfall Of the repub-
lie. imperialism, he said, IS the log

of an aristocracy of wealth and the re-
linquishment of those virtues that are
essential to the well being Of free
and respectable constitutional constit-
uency.

TIE PLAGUE IN MISSISSIPPI.
Horses and Mules Dying Of Char

Jacksonville, Miss. July 5-Dr.
William Sutherland, health officer Of
Bolivar county. today made the follow
inc report on Charbon which has APP
peared among cattle in that part Of
this State:
g Anthrax appeared in this commu-
nitv about three weeks ago in vlrulent
form and is causing wholesale destruc-
ton Of mules, horses and swine. |
have heard Of only one case IN man,
but fear its effects on the people be-
fore it runs its course. The atmos-
phere is full Of the stencil from dead
animals. They die so fast they cannot
be buried or burnt, and it is exceed
ingly difficult to get men to undertake
the job. The infected district is from
above Gunnison, near Duson on the
north to Bolivar and Benot on the
south and east to Bogue Phalia. I
never knew horse flies so numerous
and they are the cause of the rapid
dissemination Of the disease. House
flies and mosquitoes are also supposed
to aid its spread Dr.=Roberts of the
experiment station came here at my
call, but can offer no remedy except
the injection of the serum. have
without authority put this section in
quarantine as to animals. -
Senator Moore of Bolivar confirms
the stories sent out about Charbon
and SAYS 90 per cent. of the stock IN
the infected district is dead.

And Now---0il= Main Street.

We are informed that in consequence
of the apparent success Of the oil
sprinkiing experiment. on one block of
Banding street an adjoining block Of
macadam roadway will soon be treated
with petroleum 1t is easy to foresee
the extension of the improvement to
other blocks and streets.
One of the Blanding street expert
menJers, business man having a
stand on Main street, suggested to us
yesterday that if the city authorities
should still continue to ignore the dust"
nuisance and thereby leave the Main
street merchants to the Eaercles OF
z: private monopoly watering carts,
the people doing business on that thor
zonghfare would soon find it eSpedient
to adopt the plan of oil sprinklng.
He maintained that it would be a
great economy for them to do so, be-
sides enabling them to attain the OBJ
iect for which they have spent money
vainlv for many years. As the case.
stands now, he said. the street water
ing does not lay the dust Effectively.
The sprinkling makes mud for several
hours, and then, as the moisture
=evaporates, the mud is converted again
into dust. Instead of relief, those who
contribute to street watering now get
but the alternative of two nuisances-
mud and dust. The roadway once
soaked with oil, however, would re-
main free froniboth dust and mud for
a long time, and even repeated appll-
cations during the season would not
cost as much To each merchant as he.
now pays for watering.
Lei. us figure this out. According
to the statement Of our lnformans-
ten barrels of road oil, costing 500, IS
sufficient for the first and heaviest ap-
p!ication to block of macadam: The
Street watering service costs each nler-
chant contributing to it sl2 per an
nun. a count of the store fronts on
the blocks whereon our informant does
business showed 80 of them. The
annual contribution, therefore, toward
watering this block, providing
all the business establishments JOIN
ed in it. would be thirty times
sl2 OF $500. Now. even If we
allow that four applications OF pc
troleum would be necessary each year,
each application costing as much as
the frst-and this is very liberal es-
timate-the annual cost of the OIL
would be S22O against $3.50 for water
;no.a saving of 514Q annually More
over. the dust would be entirely sup
nressed, and so would the mud, Both
in winter and in summer the relief
would be felt.-The State.
