After Charleston's Tigers.

Columbia, S. c., July 1.-The State
Board of Control day passed the fol
lowing resolution
Resolved, That the Mayor and Chief
Of Police of the city of Charleston are
hereby accorded the privilege, and arc so
requested to appear at tho Office OF the
State Board Of Directors on the 10th in
Stant, at 10 O'clock Il. M, to show cause,
il any they have, why the tispcnsary
profits accrning to said city should not
bc withheld under Section 9 of the dis
pcnsary law, to be used for the better en-
f0rccment Of said law"
Tho Section of the dispensary law re-
fcrrcd to is as follows
All profits, after paying all expenses
OF the county diSpcnsary, shall be paid,
one-half to tho County Treasurer and
ne-half to tho municipal corporation ut
which it may he located, such settlements
To he made quarterly Provided, That if
the authorities Of any town or city in
the Judgment of the State Board Of Con
troll 90 not enforce this law the State
Board may withhold tho part going to
said town or city, aud usc it to pay Slate
constablcs or else tlrn it into the county
treasury"
Mr.. Williams, the Chairman of The
Board, is reported as saying that this ac-
ton on tho part of tho Board is not
meant as rcbnko to the gOvernmc cnt.
but the general opinion seems to he that
the Board is in fact tired Of "littlc mold"
feeble efforts to enforce tho law in Char
lesion, and they arc now going to take a
hand.

Charlton or Anthrax.

DIR. William Sutherland, health oniccr
OF Bolivar county, Mississippi, has mado
tho following report on charbon, which
has appeared among cattle in that part
of that State:
Anthrax appeared in this community
about three weeks ago in virulcnt form
and is causing wholesale destruction of
mules, horses and swine. havo heard
OF only ono case in man, but fear it's
effects on the people before it runs its
course. Tho atmosphere is full of the
stencil from dead animals. They die so
fast they cannot DO buried or burnt, and
it is exceedingly difficult to got mon to
undertake. tho job. Tho infected district
is from above Gunnison. near Duson, on
tho north, to Bolivar and Bcnoit, on the
south and cast, to Boguo Phalia. | mover
knew horse flies SO numerous and they
arc the cause of tho rapid disseminate on
OF the disease. House flies and mos.
qntocs arc also supposed to ait, it's
spread. Dr. Roberts, of tho experiment
station, came to Bolivar county, 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
tho stories sent out about charbon and
says 80 per cent of tho stock in tho in
fcctcd district is dead.

Stir Among the Knights.

Raleigh, July G.-Thcrc arc 2i Knights
of Honor here in Oak City lodge each
carrying $1,000 insurance. Last week
ono died. Preparation of tho death
claim was begun. This brought about
the discovery that tho lodge had been
suspended by tho supreme lodge since
June of last year. Some members say
they have paid the local collector and
agent, Charles G. Mcdonald, their dues
ever since without knowledge or infor-
nation of any suspension. lie says the
lodge has been suspended l3 months.
Tho members met and discussed the
situation and there may be civil and
other suits as the matter is making much
whether tho receipt of any dues by the
local agent is binding upon tho order as
the members say tho local collector is
the agent of tho lodge. The Supreme
Court in a case from Beaufort county
decided tho local collecting agent to be
the representative of tho supreme lodge.
The members greatly fear losing their
insurance, which amounts to over $40, 900,
on which some have paid dues over 20

Tho Drought in Texas.

Texas papers report a drought that is
may affect tho yield of cotton in that
State.
The strength of the cotton market Of
late is by some attributed to this drought,
and the Fort Worth Register says Of it:
"lf the drought continues as general
as it now is, the corn crop will be almost
complete failure and the Texas supply
of hogs for tho packing houses very
small. II will not pay to ship in corn to
fattcn hogs, for the Kansas crop is also
short, and that means a relatively high
price. Oklahoma seems to have been
singularly blessed this year, for all of tho
reports Indicate bountiful supply Of
rain and all OF the crops arc reported in
a very good condition. Twelve of tho
station agents of the Rock Island Rail
way Company in tho Indian Territory or
in Oklahoma report crop very iinc' or
in first class condition. and an abund-
ance of rain, while the agents of tho
same company at tho Texas stations
report corn and cotton suffering for n
lack Of rain and that was five day ago
Chief Engineer w b. King, Of tho Rio
Grandc, is back from a trip down tho
line and he said it was appalling to SEQ
the havoc wrought with the corn crop
along the line Of tho Rio Grande the last
few days. In many cases the crop was
ruined beyond redemption. Mr.. Bill
lings, of Mary's Creek, who was in the
city Thursday, said very fcw days
moro of drought and tho corn would be
all lost, for it was already seriously dam
aged. lie noticed some corn with tho
tasscls dry. The corn would never make
anything but fodder"
Thus it begins to appear that though
VIC may have small crop of cotton tho
price will not be so low as has been
anticipated.
1t also appears that tho corn crop Of
tho country will be curtailcd and that
those who have to buy next winter will
pay high price. Therefore it. becomes
all tho moro important to put in abun-
iant forage crops now, whero this has
not been done already.

Negro Preacher Whipped.

Chiplcy, Ga, July G.-Quitc furorc
OF excitement was occaSiOncd here about
s o'clock this morning by two white
men, heavily armed, oscorting negro
preacher, Rev. James H. Randall, up the
principal streets of tho town followed by
the ncgro's wife, screaming murder at
the top of her voice.
Upon investigation it was learned that
Randall, who bears an unSavory reputa-
tion, had passed n field where some poor,
but highly respected, young white
women were hocng cotton, and made
some insulting remarks to them.
He was advised to leave the commu-
nifty, but boastcd that ho was smart
enough to ontwit any of the white folks
and later stopped one of tho young
women on the streets and said he wished
to explain what he meant.
Indignant relatives Of the young wo-
men, when they heard Of the affair, cap
turcd the negro at his home this morn
ing and escorted him beyond the town
limits, and, after vigorously applying a
buggy trace rcrsuadcr for several minutes
gave him his freedom with a parting ad
monition that he make himself scarce in
this community for all time to come.

The Seal Of South Carolina.

We take the following extract from an
admirable essay read by Miss Marie
1lolscy, at the recent commencement
exercises Of Mrs. Smiths school in
Charleston, giving the result Of Il careful
rcvicw of all the authorities as to the
origin of the Great Seal of tho State:
In the year l77G the necessity of hav-
ing great seal became evident to those
in charge Of the Government, and what
is now the seal Of this State was then
adopted. The arms were drawn by Mr.
William Henry Drayton and the reverse
side by Mr.. Arthur Middleton. Each
based his design upon the great victory
of the Americans over tho British at
Fort Monltric. On the left side of the
seal palmetto tree on the scashorc
represents the fort on Sullivan's Island
Two shields at the foot Of the tree refer
to tho Declaration Of Independence
Two bundles of spears, six in each,
crossed before the shields stand for the
twelve States which first acccdcd to the
Union. dead oak tree PROSTATE under
tho palmetto indicates the material and
defeat Of tho British cot. On the
reverse side Of the seal woman walking
on the scaShorc over swords and daggcrs
represents Hope overcoming dangers.
She holds in her hand a laurel branch,
which signifies the honors Of Col. Moul-
trio and his men. The sun just rising
in great brilliancy above the sea discloscs
the occurrences of the 18th of June. At
the summit of tho cxcrguc arc the words
"Dum Spiro Spcro," "Whilc there is
life there is hope.") On the bottom of
the reverse side appears the Latin motto,
"Animis Opibusquc parat," prepared
in mind and rcsonrccs) Our State in
its history has fully lived up to these
inscriptions. 1t has ever been dauntlcss
and hopeful and ready to undergo the
greatest trials; in war, though van
qushed, never conqucrcd; in peace,
prosperous and energetic.
How closely allied to this wonderful
development are the conditions to be
found amongst men! 1t is tho man who
is prepared in mind i'm resources, armed
with dauntlcss will and cultured
intellect, who attaiDs success IN the
world.

sum nearly equal to the maximum

Tho Scheme to Doieat McLaurin.

The McI.aurin movement is on
foot. The scheme to exclude him
from the primary is unwise. We
should meet the issue fairly and
squarc]y. If it's for the good of the
State let it come and start its good
works. If it is not, lot it come and
receive its death blow at the hands
of the majority of the voters of the
State in an honorable and upright
manner. If we mob the movement
it is not settled, for it will soon con-
front us again. If it is given fair
trial and it is condemned it will be
settled once for all-at least for
quite a while. McLaurin has fol
lowers-of whom wo arc not nun
bercd-in this new movement, and
the Democratic party must rcadjust
itself along certain lines if it hopes
to win what the Republicans have
won SO unanimously in past years
Congress and the Presidency. Our
last platform seems to have some
planks in it whereby We arc losers
We believe, as a party, too much in
opposing an issue because the Re-
publicans favor it. Have principles
of the right sort and if the Rcpubli-
cans see fit to join you in your be-
licfs it does not make you Rcpub-
lican nor him a Democrat because
you think and see alike The trou-
bic with us is we let some one else
do our thinking for us and we take
their views as our opinion. We
must be broad minded Democrats,
stand for the right and keep abreast
with the progress of the new cen
tury just dawned upon us, putting
aside all party prejudice. Having
convictions and stand "with" them
not stand "by" them and see them
leave you. This new movement is
not only in this State, but is being
felt over the Southern States. Edge
