STATEMENT IS GREETED WITH WILD CHEERS.

Mr McCalls statement was greeted with wild cheering, which continued until a threat was made to clear the room of listeners if the crowd did not restrain itself.
 With great care, the account of Andrew A. Hamilton, with the company, was analysed by Mir. Hughes, who asked Mir Mccall about every item and made it clear that a search was being made for political contributions.
 Mr. Mccall stoutly maintained that he had given MT. Hamilton no money to be used in influencing legislation at Albany, but the admission was obtained from MT. Mccall that Hamilton's expenses at Albany were paid from the company's funds, and that his accounts were not submitted to audit.
 It was shown that ,000 had been paid to Hamilton with only verbal account ing to President Mccall, and that at present Hamilton owes that company about s6O,00O, but MT. Mccall said he felt sure that Hamilton, who is now in Europe, will repay this sum upon the company's demand.

Judge Parker Issues Statement Deny Ing That He Solicited Campaign Funds From corporations-Shee
 han Says MT. Mccall Should
 Call Names of Accused.

New York, September 20.-Politica1 con- tributions of the New York Life Insur- ance company and the connection of Andrew A. Hamilton of Albany, with the alleged political activity of the com pany, were the points around which the hearing before the legislative insurance investigation turned today.
 President John A. Mccall of the New York Life Insurance company was the chief witness for several hours and he was subjected to a fire of questions by mittee, concerning the money paid for political purposes.
 The climax was reached when MT. Me- Call declared that the soliciting of the funds for campaign purposes was not confined to the republican party in the campaign of 1904 and announced:
 My life was made weary with the democratic candidates chasing me for money In that campaign. Some of the very men who are today being inter- viewed in tie papers, and denouncing men who contributed for campaign funds, were crossing my path every step took, looking for money. One ? the candidate himself, Parker-if he would show up hia books when he was chairman of the democratic state con venton, it would give you fit He never rejected a dollar in the world. He would take every dollar that was paid to him."
 Judge Parker was chairman of the dem ocratic state executive committee in 1885.

Labor Strikes

The Chicago strike leaders pre-
sented their side of the controversy
to President Roosevelt yesterday,
the main feature OF it being a pro-
test against the employment of fede-
raj troops. The President replied
that no request had been made for
troops, and they cannot be constitu.
tionally employed unless the proper
State authorities make such re.
quest. Mr.. Roosevelt plainly init
mated that should such a condition
arise be would not hesitate to act.
BE declared very emphatically that
unions must obey the law just as
individuals are reg aired to do, and
that mob violence must be suppress
ed. This was the rigtt sort of talk,
and if officials would It fearlessly in
accordance with it there would be
great deal less violence in such cases,
and Individual and public rights
would be more surely secured and
protected.

Cruelty to Animals.

Section OBI. It shall be the duty
of all Sheriff., Deputy Sberiffs,
Deputy State Constables and Police
officers and one deputy for each
township, who shall be appointed by
Sheriff of each County to prosecute
all violations of this Chapter which
shall come to their notice or know
ledge, and the Township Deputy
shall have the i!ltreated or injured
animal in evidence at the prosecution
when brought by him, and shall
have authority to bring or cause to
be brought such animal Or animals;
and all fines collected upon complaint
or information for violation of the
Chapter, shall inure and be paid
over, one half to the South C.rolina
Society for the prevention OF Cruelty
to Animals, in aid of the benevolent
objects for which it was incorporated,
and in case such prosecution is
brought by the Township Deputy,
one half of the fund collected shall
be paid to him, and the other half
to the County for general County ex'
penses, except in towns or cities
where there is a Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, when
one-half goes to said society as afore-
said provided.
Approved the 9Th day OF March,
A. D. 1905
To the many who are often heard
to inquire as to the laws for the
prevention of cruelty to animals the
above will no doubt prove to be both
enlightening and interesting. 1t is
the law introduced by Hon. ". Med.
Green in the last Legislature and
later enacted by that body. It shows
very plainly that there can be pro-
lection for animals and that perhaps
the reason why dumb brutes are
allowed to suffer is that the law is
not enforced Rock Hill Herald.

The State, May 20.
Mr.. s. L. Black is i'll at his resi-.
dence, 1928 Gervais street. He has
long been a'ssufferer but recently has
grown much worse. The living
members of the Fifteenth South
Carolina regiment, Kershaw's brig.
ade, will remember Mr.. Black as a
valiant soldier. An instance OF his
bravery is told by a comrade. On
July 3rd, 1868, during the second
days battle at Gettysburg, federal
regiment charged Kershaw's brigede
and was repulsed. The repulae was
80 severe that the federal colonel
who was shot down, was left by bis
command about a hundred yards
from the Confederate entertainments.
During lull in the battle his cries
for water were heard, and Mr.. Black
and Mr.. Derrick, of Lexington, rails
ing their canteens above their heads,
and not needing the protests of their
comrades that they would be killed,
ran to the succor of the wounded
officer. The colonel drank one OF
the canteens dry and the other was
left beside him. He begged the two
Confederates to take a $40 green
back, but they declined, and amid
cheers from both armies retired to
their entrenchments. Both Derrick
and Black had been wounded and
knew the sufferings Of man in that
condition without water.

The Beer Question.

Columbia Evening Record,
The State board OF dispensary
directors have not yet met ard pass
ed upon the legality of the present
system Of the beer dispenssries, but
Attorney General Gunter has, at the
request of the beard, cleared up
several les sal questions which arose
at the hearing held some months
ago. As result of that hearing,
the following questions were sub
mitted to the Attorney General:
1. Is the present system OF royalty
paid beer dispensers legal in lieu OF
salary?
2. Are bottling plants Legal?
3. What constitutes ''premises?"
TO the first MIR. Gun,er decided
that the diepenssry law distinctly
stated that the county boards should
fix compensation for the various
dispensers, and if they should fix q
royalty as compensation this would
be legal under that section.
As to bottlipg plants, the law
states that these can be established
in certain cities of the State, and
they are therefore legal.
As to what constitutes "premises"
and the drinking thereon, that is
largely a question Of fact end one
which jury would have; to deter
mine. It ls a curiosity of the law that
anyone could open bottle of beer
in any dispensary provided it was
not drank in there, but they could
not open bottle Of whiskey in the
same dispensary. The question OF
premises. however, is not one which
can be decided except by jury.
Later The State boara of dis
pensary directors will adopt reso'
luton which will be sent to the
county boards informing them that
the law as to drinking on the prem
ises must be strictly enforced. This
means that the beer dispensaries in
South Carolina must be run on a
somewhat different plan and that
there will be an entire change in the
present system.
The board takes the! ground that
buying beer in one room and drink
ing it in another is in sense. drink
ing on the premises, and as a result
is a violation of the dispensary lay,
There we're three sections in the
opinion given by Attorney General
Gunter. The first related to the
royalty paid beer dispensaries, and
this was settled as laid down in the
law. The second, relating to bot
ting works, was also settled, and
the board only discussed the third
proposition which related to the
definition of premises. This, Mr..
Gunter decided, was matter to be
mainly settled by each county board,
but the resolution today call atten-
tion to the fact that uoless there is
change, and should there be a COM
plant as to drinking on the premisee,
the county board violating the law
will be removed The resolution is
a very important one and will attract
considerable attention.

Remedy and want to say it is the best

China is DESTROYS of making certain
of the cheap textile fabrics that find
favor in that country, such as tape,
