Columbia, November 20.A third
action has been instituted against
dispensary constables in Charleston,
according to notice received at the
Attorney Generals ONCE to-day.
This action has evidently been
started after the action of the State
Board in taking away the profits of
the city of sCharleaton. The suit
gives notice that Rudolph ID. Vie
ters has fled claims against Gideon,
Bateman, May, Hoye and Grady,
dispensary constables, and their
bondsmen for the cum of $500 each
for damages. A few days ago VIE
ters fled suit in the United States
Court for $4,000 damages, and also
began criminal action in the Circuit
Court of Charleston, there being
some trouble at the time over the
bond. This last suit is in the State
Courts also, making three separate
actions against these men. The con-
stables'are represented in the State
Courts by Messrs. Bellinger, Town
send and Haskell, of this city, and in
the United States Court by the At
torney General. The last move is
regarded with much surprise in off,
cial circles.

"a, Grated On Head q alllllenaIts.
Philadelphia, November 2i.--I

Philadelphia, November 2i.-Dr.
Andrew Il. Nelden. of New York,
last Wednesday performed the ope-
ration of grating an ear on the
head of aWestern millionaire, whose
name the surgeon says he is under
bond not to divulge. The operation
was to have been performed in Now
York, but DISTRICT Attorney Jerome
lis said to have interfered.
DIR. Nelden advertised for a man
willing to sell an ear for $4,000, and
of 800 applicants he selected a young
German who conducts a restaurant
in New York. DIR. Nelden said to-
day:
The operation has been performed
and promises to be snccessfnl. / am
under legal contract and heavy
bond not to reveal the name of my
patient.
Generally speaking, he is q.
wealthy man from the West. The
operation took place at private
hospital here, where I was assisted
by Philadelphia physician and one
from New York. / think they will
be willing to have their names known
later.
"The two men were placed in OPP
posite directions upon an elongated
bed. One-half of the volunteers
ear, the upper half, was cut off, to-
gether with about 4 inches of the
skin behind the head.
"This was twisted around and
fitted to a freshly prepared wound
upon my patients head. The half
ear was held in place by bandages
and the two men so bound they can
not move their heads. They must
remain in this position for at least
twelve days to allow the circulation
to come through the flap of skin that
still remains part of the volunteers
scalp.
elf this half ear starts to kni,
properly the lower half of the ca,
will be grated in the same manner.''

Andrew iohnson's soyAood.

- I T. d. ~
When ten years old Andrew
Johnson. who succeeded Abraham
Lincoln as President of the United
States, was a ragged street boy in
Raleigh, N. c., and bad never been
to school. Andrew was apprenticed
to tailor and began to learn his
trade before he was able to read or
write. A benevolent old gentleman
in Raleigh used to go about the city
reading to the apprentices in the
shops, and ia the course of time he
came upon Andrew. Itwas supposed
that in this way the boy who was to
become a president got his first love
of reading, for shortly thereafter he
began to learn his letters. Ten
hours day he worked at his trade,
and the rest of the time, with the
exception of a few hours devoted to
sleep, he was trying to read. At
sixteen he finished his apprentice
ship, but he had yet to learn much
before he could read we'll. Then he
was fortunate enough to marry a
young woman who became his
teacher. He opened a tailor shop
after he was married, and his wife
sat with him while he worked and
read to him in the evenings, teach
ing writing, geography, arithmetic
and spelling.

Nay Got ARM Posi-.


Columbia, November 2i.-The eff
fort to secure an army post for Co
lumbia has taxed definite shape and
the decision will now rest with
President Roosevelt and the war do
partment. Governor Hayward and
Major Micah Jenkins, collector OF
internal revenue, left this afternoon
for Washington for personal inter
view with the president on the mat
ter. This is in accordance with the
resolutions adopted sometime ago by
the chamber of commerce and every
effort will be made to SECURE def
mite assurance that the post will be
established. The interview will be
had with the President to-day, and
besides Columbia's Representatives
the Senators and Representatives
from this State have interested
themselves in the matter. Vice
President A. b. Andrews, of the
Southern Railway, will accompany
the party to the conference.

The DIspensary Business.

We publish an article to-day which
shows what the dispensary has done
for South Carolina. 1t was an awful
thing when the State went into the
liquor business, and we are just be-
ginning to reap some of the results.
That the harvest will be greater is
perfectly evident to thoughtful OBJ
servers. We have sown to the
wind and we shall reap the whirl-
wind. Possibly it is wrong to say
that we did the sowing, for the peo-
pie of the State asked for prohibition
and the politicians gave us whiskey
in it's worst form. They engrafted
it into the very fibre of the State,
making it dealer in the whiskey
business.
Relief must come and we believe
that it will come. The people need
to be thoroughly aroused from the
mountains to the seaboard aud then
something is sure to happen. The
cry of every man who loves his
fellowman and his State should be
for the deliverance from this awful
curse.
In view of all the evils connected
with the dispensary business it is
strange to see good people in other
States working for the establishment
of local dispensaries. This can be
accounted for only on the ground
that they have not taken the means
to inform themselves. 1t may be
said of them in fearful sense, "they
know not what they do."eGreen,
wood Journal.

The question of having ware.
houses in the South for the purpose
of storing cotton is being generally
discussed. 1t is argued that far
mer could then store his cotton, take
warehouse receipt and draw money
on it and keep his cotton as long as
he pleased before selling it. Farm
ers can now store their cotton with
the cotton factories, take receipt
and settle with the mill when they
please at the price prevailing at the
time of settlement. The mills
charge no storage or insurance from
the farmer, as they carry all the in
suranoe themselves.--The Easley

Ashland Stud Is Dissolved.

Lexington, KY, November 90
The famous Ashland stud, property
son of Henry Clay, was dissolved to-
day at the w. T. Woodward's dis
posa sale. The stud was founded
by Henry Clay IA years ago, de-
scended to the son and then to his
widow. Senator Wade Hampton,
of South Carolina, an admirer of
Henry Clay, presented him with
Margaret Wood in 1S45 and in 1916
Commodore Morgan, U. s. NJ, pre-
sented him with Yorkshire. With
these Clay founded the stud of
thoroughbreds that has continued for
nearly three quarters of century.

Monument to Jefferson Davis.

The jefferson Davis monument
will be unveiled in Richmond June
8, 1907, the anniversary of Prtsi-
dent Davis's birthday. The occasion
will bring together one of the largest
gatherings in the history of Rich
mond.
The Davis monument fund was
turned over to the United Daughters
of the Confederacy five years ago
by the United Confederate Veter-
ans Association at convention held
In Richmond. Twenty thousand
Eve hundred dollars were turned
over to the Daughters and since that
time they have raised over $43, 900.
The total amount raised is $4,000,
though this amount is not all in
bank, the Daughters having invested
quite a sum in Sheppard's picture,
representing the three arms of the
Confederate service-the artillery,
the infantry and the cavalry. From
the sale of these pictures they ex-
pect to realize about $4,000.
The monument will cost about
$4,000, which will include every
thing. The Daughters of the Con-
federacy want to raise about SIC, 900
in addition to the sum they have on
hand. Of this $4,000 they propose
to invest $4,000, the interest Of
which they propose 10 use in caring
for the grounds of the monument.
Work on the monument will begin
next July and the granite work will
be completed long before the time
for the unwilling. Three years, how
ever, will be required for the compile
tion of the bronze figures, the statue
of Jefferson Davis, the other fe-
male allegorical figure. Sculptor

AN EYE TO THE FUTURE.
A Horse That Made His Own Plans for
a Comfortable Old Aoa.

Mrs. Pelton. the author Of "a Tar
Heel Baron q new novel of North
Carolina which is winning general
praise by its character drawing has
for one of her special friends among
the mountain people In her home in
North Carolina, the village assessor,
wagonmaker, blacksmith and vender
Of paints, putty and other useful COM
modities. His various duties sit light
~ upon him, however, and he has
ample time for shrewd observations Of
men and affairs, and for prolonged
chats with his friends. Last autumn
Mr.. Pelton, who was leaving the village
for the winter decided that the ex-
tremely slow pace of her horse Bird
was due entirely to old age and after
much painful anguish she made up her
mind to part indefinitely with the ami
NAL. After diligent search for proper
guardian, she found an old mountaineer
who promised to take the best of care
of the beloved horse, and to give him
mex to no work.
Now, the blacksmith knew that Bird
was not. very old, and that he ought to
be good for a considerable amount Of
work; and he had shrewd suspicion
that the horse would live much longer
been led to his new home by the aged
and feeble mountaineer, Mrs. Pelton
met the blacksmith. and after telling
him Of Birds feebleness and her sor-
row at having to give up her horse,
she asked, Did you see the man who
il to look after Bird, and do you think
he will take good care of him?" The
man looked at her quizzically with his
twinkling blue eyes, and drawled in his
slow. gentle voice. "Waal, Mis- Pelton,
1 was just awonderin' If you had pro-
vided home for Bird after the old
man dies"
