= There was q mass meeting in
Chester yesterday for the purpose OF
considering the desirability Of Brice
law election on the dispensary Ques-
ton. It developed that the feeling
was strongly In favor Of such an cleo
ton, and q resolution to that effect
was adopted unanimously. 1t was ar

necessary petition.
= Notwithstanding the professions OF
Senator Blease to the effect that he Is
opposed to any legal efforts to secure
the retention Of the Newberry dispen-
sary, II looks as II such effortn are to
be made. The term Of the dispenser
had expired but he had not been re-
commissioned. An attorney went be-
fore the governor q few days ago to
secure his signature to the dispensers
commission. The governor, however,
refused to sign. Since the dispenser
was appointed to serve until his sue
cessor Is qualified, however, there will
be no trouble about his continuing In
the discharge Of his business until the
dispensary Is closed by law.
Chairman Landrum Of the Spartan
burg county board Of control is having
a round with Governor Hayward. Mr..
Landrum wanted to resign because tne
other members Of the board would not
move against the boodlers Governor
Heyward thinks that Chairman Lam
drum might move without reference
to the other members OF the board.
Chairman Landrum sent In his resig-.
nation. Governor Hayward holds that
the resignation should go to the state
board Of control: but Mr.. Landrum
claims that inasmuch as the commits
sion was signed by the governor, the
governor should receive 1t back. Chair
man Landrum has referred to the state
board as a rather sorry lot and he is
not inclined to recognize 1t In any way.
The law says that designations Of this
kind should go to the state board.
- Says a Greenville special Of Satur-
day to the ,Spartanburg Herald:
MAGISTRATE Stradley has returned
from Hendersonville where he had
been since Thursday making some
more definite plan with regard to the
legal status Of the case OF Greenyille
county against Former Supervisor
Speegle. It will be remembered that
there are three warrants against Mr.
Speegle for alleged shortage and 9TH
er deeds OF mismanagement while he
was in office. Although these war
rarts have been issued, he has. not
been arrested because Of the fact
that he was very Ill man and was
not in any condition to be moved.
Yesterday, however Magistrate Strad-
lev had Mr.. Speegle brought down on
the train from Hendersonville to
Tryon: from Tryon they took a car
riage and propped up on pillows, the
III man was driven across the state
line, a short distance below Tryon
and when the line had been crossed
Mr. SDeeRle SlBHcu q va AAio
right 10 have a preliminary hearing
and upon a bond of $500 he was
allowed to return to his home near
Hendersonville. He will be called
unon. under the terms Of his bond
to appear at the January term OF
court in Greenville county. Magis-
frate stradley returned from Hender-
sonville today. The process OF carry
ing an III man across the state line
and having him sign a waiver Of his
right to a preliminary hearing Is q pc
culiar and rare occurrence and one
full Of interest.
