Dispensary Discussion.

The Leesburg Commercial, in or
der to get as much light as possible
on. the advantages and disadvantages
of dispensary system, has opened
its columns to a full discussion of
the matter. Police officials of GeOr-
gia, Alabama and South Carolina
have been Intercepted regarding the
effect of the dispensary law. The
answers thus far are in tAe main adj
verse to a dispensary. Rev. f. j.
Forester, ID. d. for fourteen years pas-
tor of the Baptist church, Green
wood, s.. c., in answer to categorical
questions, says emphatically that the
dispensary does not lessen the drink
habit in South Carolina, that it does
not lead to prohibition, that it does
not lessen crime and that it affords
as great a temptation to young men
as the barfsQm. He also states that
the blind Tigers who get their
liquor from the dispensary and run
at night when the dispensary is clos
ed, enjoy immunity from seizure

PICKS HIS SUCCESSOR.
The President of Mexico, DiaE, Said u
Favor Candidacy of Minister
LimantOur.

Recent kilograms from points on the
American frontier to journals of
weight and prominence in the United
States deal with the important mat
ter of the succession to the presidency
of the republic in case of the retire
ment of President Diaz, and it was
stated that he would in such case be
succeeded by the present minister Of
war, Gen. Bernardo Reyes.
1t is known at Mexico City, how
ever, that President Diaz favors the
candidacy of Minister of Finance Jose
Ives Limantour and that Gen. Reyes
will give his cordial support to him.
People acquainted with Mexican af-
fairs have sometimes regarded Senior
Limantour as being merely a finan-
cier, which is an error, and it is be-
lieved, apparently, in the United
States that only a soldier can main
tain the present satisfactory state Of
things in this country.
This statement of the present sit
uation in high politics of Mexico will
make clear how harmonious are the
relations of high personages of the
present administration and will as
sure investors in all forms of Mex
lean securities of the continuance of
conditions of peace and progressive
enterprise established by President
Diaz.

breaches IN SLEEP.
Illiterate Negro in South Carolina q
Religious Phenomenon.
Carries On a Full and Complete
Church Service While in an I'm
conscious Condition - Sermons
Said to lie Full and Logical.

Maj. Perry, the sleeping preacher"
of Saluda county, S. c., is attracting a
great deal of attention. He lives a
dozen miles from railroad and never
leaves the immediate vicinity of his
home, so he is known to few outside
that county.
Maj. Perry is mulatto, As years old.
Both he and his wife are illiterate.
When young man, he says, he felt a
call to preach, but disregarded it. He
seldom goes to church and is not reli-
giously inclined.
About ten years ago, his wife says.
Perry began to preach in his sleep. Ser
mons became more frequent, until he
now breaches five or six times week.
Perry goes to bed about eight o'clock
and within half hour begins to
preach. He first announces his text,
chapter, verse OF verses in the Bible
correctly, after which he reads the
text, always just as it is in the book.
He then "lines" out, sings hymn and
prays, after which the sermon begins.
Perry's sermon is declared by whites
who have heard him to be better than
the average negro preacher. It is
grammatical and logical and takes
from As minutes to one hour in deliv-
cry.
Sometimes during the delivery of the
sermon the muscles of the body, espe-
cially the arms and neck. contract, pro-
ducing cataleptic condition. This
stops the sermon. The attack lasts
minute or two and is driven away by
the wife, who strokes with her hands
the parts affected. When the tendency
to catalepsy is banished he resumes his
discourse, beginning exactly where he
left off. even though it was in the mid
die of sentence.

WE'D WHILE TRAIN WAITS.
Couple Married I'm Haste at wheaton,
Ill., by Minister, About to
Take a Train.

Faced by the necessity Of marrying
before train time. and with the loco
motive whistle sounding near by, elop-
ers from Chicago were hurried into
wedlock in the waiting-room of the
Wheaton Qll.) railway station with
the baggageman and ticket agent as
witnesses.
Miss Madge Emery and William
Lane had eloped to Wheaton, to find
that the only minister then in the
place, Rev. f. w. Farnum, was prepar-
ing TO board train for Chicago. He
had just time to speak the words unit
ing the two lovers and board the rear
coach of the train is it was pulling out
of the station.
The bridegroom is a son of Corne-
lius w. Lane, dealer in real estate. Miss
Emery's parents live in Monon, Ind,
and recently she has been occupying
apartments with her sister. Mrs. James
r. Irons. in Chicago. Although rela-
tives of both the young persons were
aware of their attachment. it was not
thought the marriage ceremony would
take place for some time.
II was two years ago when Young
Lane met Miss Emery. He was riding
bicycle in Jackson park, and helped
the girl, then unknown to him, to re-
nair her damaged wheel. He is rs
years old and his wife 90.
