DiSpensarleS In
Charleston Closed
Order of State Board Follows
Important Opinion-No County
t-----, Government There. e go
The State, 18th inst.

The State, 18th inst.
1t was announced last night
that following the filing of the
opinion of the attorney general
yesterday holding that Charleston
county had no legally constituted
board of county commissioners,
Msssrs. Dukes and Evans of the
State board of dispensary dirsc-
tors, who were IN the city had met
and instructed State Liquor Com :
missioner Crum to order the
county buard for Charleston csun-
ty to forthwith close all regular
and beer dispensaries in Charles
ton and keep them closed until
further orders. This action, it
seems, is made necessary because
the law requires the. conaty com-
mlssloners to approve the bonds
OF the dispensers, and, inasmuch
a. Charleston has and has had no
legal beard of county commission :.
ers for some time, the bonds of
all dispensers are worthless. This
is the situation, it appears, until
the courts decide otherwise, if
they do so decide, or until some
scheme can DO devised by which
Charleston can secure legal
county government. As things
stand now, in the light of the at
toraey generals opinion, Char
lesion has no county government
whatever.
There are about ten dispsnsa-
riss in the city of Charleston and
this is the first time they have
been closed since when Gov. Fill
man ordered them closed after the
famous prohibition decision of the
supreme court.

An Important Fest Case.
Can Municipalities Annul Exemp.
tion from Taxation Promise
After Deriving Benefits
Special to The State.

Charls.ton, Nav 16.-Judse
Aldrich handed down his decision
in the case Of the Consolid Atsd
Railway company against tho
town of Mount Pleasant, decIar-
ing that the exemption from taxas
granted to tho company was illegal,
null and void. The company
will appeal the case to the State
supreme court.
1t is understood that the com,
pany will carry the ca . before
the United States supreme court
if its cause fails in tho State
supreme court, on tho grounds of
the validity of a contract. 1t is
said that the compsny figures that
there are several Thousand dollars
involved, making the case appeal
able in the Federal court.
It has. become tho custom of
many citios to exempt nanufactur-
ing and traction companies from
taxes in the interest of f1rthsring
the establishment of such enter
prlses and the fight will DO made
on the right-of municipality to
break a contract of this kind, into
which a corporation has entered
in good faith.
The case is an interesting one
aside from it's local bearings, and
should it over reach the supreme
court of the United States much
national interest will be excited.
The notice of appeal will doubts
less be served upon the town
authorities in the next few days.
The case cannot be heard by the
supreme court until next fall.

MIGHT USE THE OLYMPIA
PROPOSED AS FLAGSHIP FOR ENG
LISH TRIP.
Regarded as Appropriate That Ad-
ton Ceremonies on His Old Vessel.

Following upon the announcement made
some time ago of plan in embryo at the
Navy Department to send Admiral Dewey
with fine fleet to England to represent
the United States navy at the exercises
which will mark the coronation of King
Edward VII, a sequential suggestion has
been agitated in naval circles, by way Of
completing the arrangement, to have the
admiral, on that occasion, fly his flag again
over the Olympia, the ship which led his
fleet into Manila bay on the memorable
1st of May of 1S9S
1t has been the impression that the Olym-
pia, when she is put into commission about
the middle of next month would be as
signed as flagship of the South Atlantic
station, but the suggestion now made has
been taken up with enthusiasm, for it is
evident that the hero Of Manila. aboard the
very ship which carried his flag into the
hostile Spanish harbor, will be most fit
ting combination to typify American naval
prowess on what will be a memorable oc-
casion in the history Of England.
The Olympia has been undergoing the
most thorough repairs for some time past
at the Boston navy yard, and is especially
we'll adapted for the purpose Indicated
having splendid accommodations FOR an
admiral and fine quarters for officers and
men.
The present collection Of American vessels
on the European station Is not a represen-
tative one by any means. but it will proba-
bly, form the nucleus Of the fleet which
will go to England. being reinforced by
some Of our best battle ships and cruisers
In view of the early retirement Of Rear
Admiral Cromwell, the present commander
Of the station, and as the time for the coro-
nation ceremonies approaches, the COM
mand Of the European squadron is being
most eagerly sought after by several rear
recognized that Admiral Dewey, by rank
and by record. Is pre-eminently fitted for
and entitled to the honor of heading the
American fleet on the occasion in question:
ana there now seems no doubt that he.
aboard his fighting flagship, will lead the
naval representation from our shores when
