Mrs. Mckinley Was Near Deaths Door

When the Presidential party,
which is now making tour Of the
Western and Pacific. States, reached
San Francisco Mrs. Mckinley was
taken desperately i'll and the arrange
nents for the Presidents entertain
ment were abandoned. Her symp-
toms became alarming and the dis
ease would not yield to the treat
ment. At one time her life was dis
paired of but the noble physicians
and the warm, tender hearts of ber
loving friends struggled on against
hope until she was snatched from the
very jaws of the grave and death
denied its distinguished victim. Mrs.
Mckinley is improving but the dan
ger point has not entirely been pass
ed. It is the intention of the Presi-
dent, so it is announced, as soon as
Mrs. Mckinley is able to stand the
fatigue of travel, to proceed imme'
diately to Washington.

The South Bound Lease.

An important suit has been enter
ed against the Seaboard which has
never been "domesticated" in the
State. The suit arises out of the
Watts case. He was injured by fall
ing into cut in Columbia and got a
verdict for damages, but the money
has never been collected. The suit
is brought to annul the lease of the
Southbound or the Florida Central
and Peninsular to the Seaboard, be-
cause both companies are foreign
corporations. The preliminary rule
to show cause has been issued by
Judge Gage and is returnable Wed
nesday.

China Trying to Dodge.

Pekin, May l7.-Despite the fact
that the imperial court has author
lied fifty-year loan at 4 per cent.
the Chinese peace commissioners are
endeavoring to cast dust in the eyes
of the foreign ministers by stating
that China is unable to pay the in

the commissioners are attempting to
induce the ministers 10 accebt, in

DlSPENSARIES CLOSED
In Charleston. Order. of State Board
Follows important Opinion.

It was announced Friday night fol-
lowing the fling of the opinion of
the Attorney General holding that
Charleston had no legally constituted
board of county commissioners,
Messrs. Dukes and Evans Of the
State Board of dispensary directors,
who were in the city, had met and
instructed State Liquor Commis-
sioner Crum to order the county
board for Charleston county to forth
with close all regular beer dispen-
saries in Charleston and keep them
closed until further orders. This
action, it seems, is made necessary
because the law requires the County
commissioners to approve the bonds
of the dispensers, and, inasmuch as
Charleston has and has had no legal
board of county commissioners for
some time, the bonds Of all dispen-
sers are worthless. This is the
situation, it appears, until the courts
decide otherwise, if they do so de-
eide, or until some scheme can be
devised by which Charleston can Sc
cure a legal county government.
As things stand now, in the light of
the Attorney Generals opinion, Char
lesion has no county government
whatever.
There are about ten dispensaries
in the city of Charleston and this is
the first time they have been closed
since when Gov. Tillman ordered
them closed after the famous prohi-
bition decision of the supreme court.
It was stated Friday night that in
case nothing else can be done to get
things Strengthened out a request
for an extra session of the general
assembly will be made.

quite i'll for the past two weeks at his
home at Rockville. While suffering
from a severe attack Of the grippe he
very indiscretly left his sick room to

Beware of a Cough.

A cough is not disease but a
symptom. Consumption and bron-
chitis, which are the most dangerous
and fatal diseases, have for their first
Indication persistent cough, and if
properly treated as soon as this cough
appears are easily cured. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy has proven
wonderfully successful, and gained
it's wide reputation and extensive
sale by it's success in curing the dis
eases which cause coughing. If it is
not beneficial it will not cost you a
cent. For sale by J. E. Kaufman.

FIRE AT THE BRiCKYARD.
One of the KiIns at Guinard's Estab.
Iishment Burned.

The Columbia State May l8.
About 3 o'clock yesterday morning
there was big light in the direction
of The State dispensary and flames
and volumes of smoke could be seen
rolling skyward. Many thought the
big gin mill was on fire, and an alarm
was ruDg from box 81. The depart
ment came out quickly but the drivers
of some of the machines failed to
count the box. The local fire depart
ment could have been of DO service,
however, IS the blaze was the Guig-
nard Brick Manufacturing plant
across the river, between Brookland
and Cayce's.
A representative of The State went
over. The view of the Congaree H.
Illuminated by the flames was beauti-
full.
The fire started in one of the big
kilna and the kiln house was totally
destroyed, together with large pile
of cord wood near it, and freight
box car standing on the track. An
other car near by was slightlyinjured.
The plant is equipted with it's own
water works, pumps and fire fighting
apparatus. Two good streams of
water were soon pouring upon the
burning building and wood, and the
loss was confined to one building.
The loss will hardly be more than
$1,000 and it is covered by insurance.
By Ais the fire was under CONTROL.
