A Fact That Remains.

Gaffney, S. c., Ledger.
You gentlemen who advocate
the dispensary may talk as you
please, but the fact remains that
no man can handle whiskey in any
manner whatever, either to drink,
sell or make it, without sooner or
later yielding to its evil influence.

Judge Jones on Dogs.
Valuable opinion Sent tho Record
by William J. Cherry, Esq.

To the Editor Of The Record:
Sir: In view Of the recent whole
sale slaughter Of Rock Hill dogs
the following from the opinion Of
Associate Justice Jones. in the
case Of State VS.. Landlord, S.
S. c.. Reports. 324-5 in which
case he held that dog is a sub
ject Of larceny, becomes interest
ing reading:
Neither is it just to say Of the
dog that its nature Is SO base as to
render it unworthy Of protection
as absolute property, for Baron
Cuvier says the dog is the com
petest, the most sigular, and the
most useful conquest ever made
by man., When we are told that
the Greeks and Romans employed
dog in war, armed with spiked
collars, and that Corinth was
saved by the war dogs which at
tackled and checked the enemy
until the sleeping garrisons were
aroused, we better understand
Shakespeare's Antony when he
said, Cry havoc, and let slip the
dogs Of war;. We should not lei
our contempt for sheep-killing
| dogs and our dread Of hydropho
bia do injustic to the noble New
foundland, that braves the water
to rescue the drowning child; to
the Esquimaux dog, the burden
bearer of the arctic regions; to the
shep dog, that guards the shep-
he rd's flocks ard makes sheep
raising possible in some countries
to the St. Bernard dog, trained tc
rescue travellers lost or buried In
the SHOWS Of the Alps; to the
swift, docile greyhound; to the
package-carrlng spaniel; to the sa'
gacious settlers an d pointers
through whose eager aid our table:
are supplied with the game Of the
season; to the fleet fox-hounds
whose music when opening on the
l fleeing fox is sweet to many ears
to the faithful watch. dog, whos'
honest bark, as Byron says, bay
deep-mouthed welcome as W,
draw near home;, to the rat-ex
terminating terrier; to the wake
full fee, which the burglar dread
more than he does the sleepin,
master; to even the pug, who's
ugliness inspires the admiration o

and coon dog, for which the own
er will fight if imposed upon; and
lastly, to the pet dog, the playmate
Of the American boy, to say moth

Wants To Explain Some.
Dispensary Director l.. w. Boy
kin Will Endeavor to Explain
Why He Let a Contract for
,ooo,o 900 Labels to
Cincinnati Firm When
He III d Several
Lower Bids.
Special to Charlotte Observer.

COLUMBIA, -. T., Aug. 3i.-
One Of the star witnesses at the
Sumter session of the dispensary
investigating commission, will be
Director l.. w. Boykin, who has
asked the commission to put him
on the stand in order that he
might correct certain injurious i'm
pressions that he correctly sur
mises have gone out as result Of
the way in which his purchase of
iII, 900, 900 labels from Cincin
natl concern was presented at the
session of the commission here
last week.
He is evidently confident Of sa-
It's Tac orily explaining the matter,
and he may be able to do this,
but the public is interested in
knowing how he is going TO face
the situation as it will be present
I ed to him in various ways by the
commission. According to the
testimony of The clerk Of the board,
some bids were secured from 9TH
er houses, but those bids do not
seem to have been considered and
no record cf them was left at the
office, Mr.. Boykin carrying off the
letters with him. The commission
will put up evidence to show that
at least two offers, and these
through South Carolina, people,
were made for the work at half
the amount agreed to be paid to
the Cincinnati company, which is
not Matchmaking concern, but
merely manufacturers Of glass.
/ But the purchase is attacked
not only on the ground that an
extravagant price was paid, but
also on the ground that the guam
tity was ridiculously too large.
Persons connected with the dis
Ipensary estimated that the supply
would last "a year or perhaps
more than that" but according to
the way an expert whiskcy man
hgnres the thing out. Mr. Boyisn
has bought enough labels TO last
the dispensary six OF eight years,
! if the institution itself last tha,
Hong. He works it out this way:
There being three denominations
of case goods, half-pints, pints and
quarts, with 4S bottles in the case
of the first, "a bottles in the sec
ond, and IL in the last, the aver
| age number Of bottles in a case is
78, and the average case will
therefore require 28 labels. An
even number Of each kind was
purchased, showing Mr.. Boykin':
faith in the maintenance Of the
average. The ii, 900, 900 labels
the whiskey man argues will,
force, will tag as many cases a:
III,ooo 900 is divisible by 2S
which, on investigation, will BIZ
found to be s96,42e cases. Now
the average price Of a case i.
Figured at SI2. The value Of the
whiskey these labels will cove
will, therefore, be something lik,
I$4,745,I4S, which is more thar
| five times as much as the tota
lease goods business Of the dis
lpensary in year. If the case
these labels would supply. at al
average Of 2S bottles to the case
were placed end to end beginning
at the State dispensary, the chain
thus formed would reach any sub
dispensary in the State.

How Recent Action Affects
DiSpensary.
Fully Quarter Of a Million Dol
lars in Sales.-Based on Re-
port Of Last Year.

The State, 3Ist inst.
The action Of Union and New
berry counties in voting the dis
pensary out Of business within
their borders is more significant
than at first might appear. Taken
in connection with the similar ac-
ton Of Pickens and Cherokee
counties, it means that the dis
pensary will be knocked out Of
$3.50, 900 worth OF business. Thus
the action Of the counties named
will affect the body polite Of the
dispcnsary system as we'll as their
own internal regulations.
The report Of the State board
Of directors for the fiscal year 1904
shows that the sales from the
State dispensary to the county
dispensers in that year were as

wholesale district is placed at 81, 1OO, oO0;
insurance $3.50, 900.
Explosions of chemicals in the Keller
& Delmetch house with the accompany

the danger In CURED by the firemen. one
of whom suffered a broken leg. There
were many narrow escapes from death
The fire was confined with great diff
Guilty to the burned district which ad-
joins the union station. The cOncus-
sions from the chemical explosions
broke hundreds of panes of glass across
Meridian street The burnt district is
bounded by Meridian street, Ash street
Jackson place and an alley. Sparks
from the burning buildings flew over
the city, carried by a high wind. These
sparks fell on the buildings and men
were stationed on roofs to protect them.
Smouldering sparks fell on the roof of
the Grand hotel and it was discovered
to be on fire. A general alarm was
sounded. Guests at the hotel were
aroused and fed from their rooms.
Many of them had just retired after
watching the adjacent fire in the whole
sale district. The fire on the roof of the
Grand hotel was extinguished in an
hour. The loss was caused for the most
part by water and reached 81, 900.

SUES FOR BACK ALIDIONY.
Mrs. Florence Cunard Asks for Ar
rears Amounting to 5000.

Trenton, N. J., Feb. 20-John A.
Montgomery, an attorney here repre-
senting Mrs. Florence Cunard, now
the wife of one of the owners of the
Cunard line of steamships, caused to
be issued out of the supreme court a
writ of attachment against the prop
erty in the estate of Edward NJ. Padel-
ford of Baltimore, Nd, for $4,000
back alimony, alleged to be due Mrs.
Cunard, who formerly was Mrs.
Padelford.
Mrs. Cunard obtained a divorce
from Mr.. Padelford in New York in
1890, and under the decree Padelford
was ordered to pay his wife $4,000 a
year alimony and was forbidden to
marry again in New York state. Padel-
ford disregarded the decree so far as,
remarrying was concerned, but con-
tinued to pay the $4,000 a year ALI
mony until 1909 when the then Mrs.
Padelford was married to Mr.. Cunard.
After the marriage PadeIfOrd refused
to pay the alimony and has persisted
in his refusal during the last three
years. Edward M. Padelford's broth
er was the first husband of the late
Bettina Gerard.
