The DISPENSARY ELECTION.
saIOOnkeeper Kay Contests the Re.
suit at Rome.

SalOOnkeeper Kay Contests the Re-
suit at Rome.
Rome Ca. Feb. 19.-There were 2, SAD
votes polled in Tuesdays election, and
the dispensary carried by a majority
of 269 votes. A petition was filed with
Ordinary Davis, asking that he con-
test the election. 1t was signed by M.
c. Kay, a prominent saloon keeper.
Among other things the petitioner
says:
That under the terms of said act
the majority of the voters of said
county must ratify said act in said
election
THAT only 1,154 votes were voted for
dispensary in said county and that
the registered voters of Floyd county
are 5000 in number.
Therefore petitioner protests that
said election should be declared
against dispensary.
Petitioner further shows that said
election, by permitting parties to vote
for the dispensary who were not on
the registered List, in a greater num-
Der than 269 voters, controlled the re-
suit of this election.
Wherefore petitioner contests the
same and will at once proceed to show
to your honor by comparison of the
registered list and the voters list, to-
gether with evidence from the tickets,
that greater number than 269 votes
were cast for dispensary by persons
not entitled to vote and whose names
dill not appear upon the registered
list"
The ordinary overruled the plea and
1t will be taken to the Supreme Court.
The fight will be to the finish and the
end of the dispensary contest is by no
means in sight yet.
Various parties have refused bets
paid until the matter is adjusted by
the courts and the result is in a prob
lematical state.

Railroad Consolidation Permitted
by the Legislature.
Columbia. S. c.. Feb. 1s.-There was
q red hot passage in the House of
Representatives yesterday. 1t was be-
tween Mr.. "Iosh" Ashley and Mr..
Sinkler, and occurred during rush of
representatives to get out of the hall
to avoid going on record on roll call.
In the mix up, Ashley threatened to
put Sinkier out of the hall. The lat
ter retorted hotly. Ashby, who is
noted among the red hills Of Anderson
as a fist and skull fighter, said
something about knocking off Mr..
Sinkler's head. MIR. Sinkler, who is
from Charleston, and is small of statue,
retorted to the effect that if Mr.. Ashby
laid hands on him he would put as
many holes through his ample carcass
as the chambers of a revolver con-
tanned bullets. Both men were very
mad, but it appears that Mr.. Sinkler,
who deeply resented the threats of the
up-countryman, was unarmed. This
possibly prevented what would have
been a most deplorable affair,
Some of the legislators seem to think
that other legislators are violating the
10 fv, r,cfr, FREQ IN
The former introduced a resolution
providing for the appointment of COM
mittees TO investigate the matter and
report their findings. The bill went
through the House, but has been
shelved in the Senate, and nothing can
come of it this session.
VestibuIes for Electric Cars.
The bill to require vestibules on
electric street cars has passed both
houses and viii become law. It has
been amended, however, to exempt
Charleston, where the weather is mild
er. II is to be enforced during the
months of December, January, Febru
airy and March.
Efforts to repeal the act passed last
year in reference to concealed weap-
ons nave failed. This law goes into eff
feet July l next, and prohibits the car
ryng or sale of a pistol less than 20
riches in length. The fine of 5000 inn
posed win be divided between the in
formant and the public schools, and is
sufficient to keep dealers cut of the
business. 1t is surmised that there
will be brisk trade in firearms in The
adjacent towns of neighboring states.
Both houses have agreed to the con-
solidation of the Asheville and Spar
tanburg, the South Carolina and Geor-
gia, the Carolina Midland, and the
South Carolina and Georgia Extern
sion railroad companies the CONSOLE
dated company to be leased to the
Southern. The only proviso Is that
none of the roads shall ever be dis
mantled or abandoned. This is the
method pursued by the South Caro-
lima and Georgia Extension Company
to lease their line to the Southern. Be
ing a parallel line it required the sane
ton of the Legislature. The Railroad
Commission called attention to the
fact that this road, a hundred miles
long and traversing a rich territory,
had no outlet or connections at either
end, was in bad physical condition, and
that consolidation would greatly bene-
fet the road as we'll as the section
through which 1t passed.

A THIRTY HOURS TRANCE.
Hypnotic Effect of Revival on In.
diana Woman.

Muncie, Ind, Feb. 19.-Mrs. David
Keener of Winchester has been aroused
from a deep trance extending over
thirty hours. When first noticed by her
husband, who stepped into the kitchen,
she was standing over the stove with
a basin of water in her hand. He nA-
ticed tears on her cheek, and supposed
that she was engaged in silent prayer,
and he retired.
Mrs. Keener had been attending re-
vival meetings under the direction OF
the Pentecost band, and had spent
much time in prayers and study. An
hour later her husband returned and
found her in the same position as be-
fore, motionless. He placed her in bed,
and although her form somewhat re-
Taxed, she remained unconscious. Mr..
Keener spent the evening trying to
arouse her until she finally regained
consciousness with normal pulse and
temperature.

FoRGER 1<ELToN AT ORLANDO.
Deputy sheriff Brings Back the Man
Who Fooled Him.

Orlando, Fla, Feb. 19.-Dr Melton,
with a dozen or more aliases, who was
arrested in Macon, Ga, several days
ago, was brought here by Deputy Sher-
in Hand OF Sanford, and lodged in
Jail. Melton passed a forged check at
one of the banks in Sanford, getting
Deputy Hand to identify him. This was
easy as he presented to Mr.. Hand, a
letter of introduction from w. NJ.
Mathews, a liveryman of this place.
Melton had hired a team and driven
from Mathews, to take him to San
ford, and as the two men were well
acquainted and Hand recognized the
team and driver. he readily fell into
the trap. When arrested Melton had a
half dozen checks with the forged sig
natures Of Orlando business men in his
possession. In his wifes trunk was a
kit of burglars tools. 1t is believed
that the man is wanted at other
points, and II has been stated that
large awards are out for him.
