MIR. A. #. BOOTH RESIGNS.
Secretary and stenographer of the
Dfspensary Investigation Has
Sent in His Resignation.

The S. :.
There is considerable speculatlon
here as to what will be brought out
ibv the investigating committee at IT'S
meeting at Sumter next week. 1t IS
presumed that there must be some
matters in that territory to look after
and it is supposed that Mr.. L. w.
Bovkin will appear at that time and
will make the statement in which ne
says he will exonerate himself from
the charge in regard to the labels.
It IS not known whether or not
SDartanburg will furnish the custom
ary sensation. but it is presumed there
will be some outcome OF Capt. Fant,s
testimony. Capt. Fant told his evil
dence in a very convincing manner,
but it has been assailed as "hearsay
and B. w. Ewbank in c; d IN the
Spartanburg Herald has accused capt
FAINT Of being guilty of practically the
same thing that Capt. Fant chare !
against Ewbank. But Capt. "a t
made his statement under oath pu .
lie and in the face OF some Of the men
wiom he accused.
The investigation last week did not
develop anything as to Richland coun-
tv and indeed il is claimed that If the
dispensary business is clean anywhere
il is in Richland county.
Mr.. 4. H. Booth, the stenographer
Of the dspensary committee, has re-
signed and will not be present at the
meeting in Sumter next week. Inc
committee will have to elect success
4sor. Mr.. Booth was very unwell at
the Spartanburg meeting and again at
the meeting in this city.

MR.. J. H. CHAPPELL'S BOND.
There Was Something Defective and
Gov. Hayward Declined to Sign
Mr.. ChappelTs Commission.

Last winter J. J. Mayer, the dispen-
ser at Newberry, died and was suc-
ceeded by J. H. Chappell. Ii appears
that Chappell was elected for the un-
expired term and that the county
board at a recent meeting elected
Chappell to succeed himself for the
full term, beginning September 1st.
The bond was sent here several days
ago for approval but there was some
thing defective about it.
Gov. Hayward declined to sign the
commission until the bond should be
filed in proper form. F. H. Dominick.
a lawyer from Newberry, waited on
the governor yesterday and urged
that the commission be signed, but
Gov. Hayward did not do so. Chap
peil will hold his office until his sue
cessor is elected and can qualify, so
the dispensary will run right along
until it is closed by the county board
as ordered by the people in the recent
election. It is believed that the earn
estness with which Chappell's COM
mission was sought indicates that
some kind of fight will be instituted
to keep the dispensary from being
closed
The overwhelming vote in New
berry county has occasioned a great
deal OF surprise. There are to be elec-
tons in other counties soon and it is
believed that the result in Newberry
will be repeated in other counties.
There will be an election in York
county on the 10th OF September and
one at Marion on the 10Th Of this
month. Horny, Florence and Lam
caster will vote out the dispensary on
the 3rd of October and the election
will be held in Spartanburg on the
18th of November.
Greenville, Anderson, Edgeheld,
Darlington, Fairfield, Lexington and
several other counties are on the
verge of elections, some of the coun-
ties named merely waiting on the su-
Dreme court to declare its construc-
ton Of the constitutionality OF the
Br;ce law before those counties go
ahead with the expense of an election.

A CLEVER TRICK.
The Story Of Theft on a Mississip-
pi River Steamboat

Kansas City Independent.
A dingy steamer was plodding
down the Mississippi. Aboy sat in
the stern vainly trolling for catfish
in the mrddy water 1t was so hot
that all the other passengers were
below asleep.
The steamer suddenly whistled, a
town OF gray frame houses hove IN
sight, and a hot young man with a
big telescope valise" hurried up the
companionway.
"I'll get off here, captain" he said
"Your ticket amt for here" the
captain growled.
Il know, but I've changed my
mind" said the youth.
A few minutes later he and has
telescope valise" were landed on
the worm eaten old wharf of the
town OF Cicero, and the dingy steam
er was plodding down the river again
She had gone about mile when
another young man rushed from be-
low wild eyed.
INV telescopew he cried. "Some
one has stolen my telescopes! There
was $1,000 in it,"
The captain started. He looked
back at Cicero, which now lay hid
den behind bend of the river. He
called the mate and told him to COW
er the bow with some black tarpaulin,
to move certain pieces Of cargo att
and to tie some white canvass around
the smokestack. Then he turned the
steamer around, and she began to
move I'D stream toward Cicero again.
She loked like different boat.
At Cicero she stopped. On the
deserted wharf there was one person
the young man with the telescope
who had ben landed there. He leaped
aboard now, the boat warped out into
the stream, and then the captain ap-
peared.
"Hello!" said the captain.
"Why, this is the same boat T.
The young man trembled.
1T certainly is" said the captain,
"and this. I reckon, is the vallse we
came back for"
He opened the telescope, and with
in in wallet lay the stolen money.
The owner readily identified his be-
longings. The thief waS put in irons
the engine rom.
"A smart trick" everybody said.

IT'S UP TO THE PEOPLE.

AS usual, when the Legislature is in
session, we find the friends of tenn
perance wishing to find some method
90 secure the rigid enforcement of the
liquor laws, but what is the result of
all their labor Maine has law enough,
so far as stopping the sale of liquor is
concerned, and those laws if enforced
would accomplish just what these peo-
pie are striving for day after day, year
after year, and decade after decade.
The laws will not be enforced, however,
in the different parts of the State until
the people demand it, and even then
they will not be unless the people show
by their ballots that present officials
must do their duty or others will take
theic places. This is the whole story in
a nutshell and there's not a voter in
Maine but what knows it to be true.
What is the USE of loading down vol
umes Of statutes and resolves with
laws which will not be enforced? Bet
ter to strike them off than to nullify
them and teach our children to disre-
spect the laws of the State. There is
no use saying the law cannot be ell
forced, that we need some new way to
enforce it, that's all bosh; it can be en-
forced and will be enforced when the
people demand it, but not until then, no,
never.-Bath independent.

ABOUT WINTERPORT

And its Open Polar Sea.
Col. Fred Atwood of Winterport is in
Portland so often nowadays that he
Will be regarded as resident before
long. His duties as trustee of the State
School for Boys bring him this way
frequently. Still, he sticks closely to
his own town in his heart. and is never
tired of exploiting its beauties and ad-
vantages. He has sent me this para
graph from a Bangor paper which
denies that Winterport is frozen in by
the ice in the Penobscot river:
The reports of the closing of Win
terport by ice, which have been circu-
lated throughout the State, are untrue
according to Col. Fred Atwood of that
town. Col. Atwood stated that the
harbor there was open and free of ice
and that the ferry between Winterport
ana East Bucksport was running regu-
larry. Further Col. Atwood said the
river below Winterport had never been
known to freeze. In 1875 when every
other point on the Penobscot and a
good manydoWn the bay, were ice bound,
the river at Winterport was open oppo
site the town and Col. Atwood has pho
to9raph taken at the time to prove it..
Ihere Is, 1t is true, little ice down
around the bend, and the steamer Pc
nobscot on her last trip turned back
when she reached there, as the captain
was afraid of needlessly injuring the
copper on her bottom"
Winterport is one of the prettiest viii
lagos in the State. 1t lies along the
river, which at that point reminds one
strongly of the best part of the Hudson.
There is the usual struggling Main
street, lined with comfortable houses
and two story brick stores, both of
them relics of the days when every
Maine port was the home of hundred
ships. Many sea captains live there
and are buried in the beautiful ceme-
terry on the grassy hill back of the town.
1t is one of those towns which could be
made wealthy, active city by the use
OF little push and enterprise, for it
has, as Col. Atwood says, an open port
all the year, and can be reached by deep
water vessels with ease from the sea,
only 40 miles below. Years ago it was
part of Frankfort, which was the
original towll-divided after hot fight.
In old Frankfort, pretty we'll gone to
seed, are the famous Mount Waldo
granite works, from which John Pierce
has taken enough pure white stone to
make him something like millionaire.

rHArcHER's ISLAND.

The twin lights of Thatcher's Island
are familiar to many who go down to
the sea in ships, and to many more who
spend the summer months on the rocky
headland of Cape Ann; but probably
comparatively few are familiar with the
details of the tragedy which gave the
island its name. 1t was on a long ago
August-269 years ago, to be exact
that the Rev. Anthony Thatcher, his
wife, his four children and several
other persons, left Ipswich in a vessel
for Marblehead, where Mr.. Thatcher
was to take charge of the church. They
set sail on the 18th, fair summer day,
but with head wind and very little
of it, They had a tedious time beat
ing out of Ipswich Bay, and at night on
the 18th had not yet succeeded in doub-
ling the cape. A sudden, furious Au-
gust storm came on in the night, and
the luckless craft was driven on the
rocks, where she soon went to pieces.
Mr.. Thatcher, after being buffeted
about by the sea for long time, was
able to cling fast to rock and climb on
shore. Drenched and shivering, he
walked about, vainly trying to see or
hear something of his late companions.
How dreary must have been that lonely
vigil in the storm and darkness, while
the insatiate sea Numbered on the rocks
about him, and, like Paul under similar
circumstances, he wished for the day.
In the early dawn he saw his wife 'tget-
ting herself forth from amongst the
timber Of the broken bark" He went
to her assistance, and she was soon safe
beside him. All the others, twenty one
in number, persisted. Among them
were the Rev. John Avery, his wife
and sig children. The name of this I'M
fortunate family is commemorated in
"Avery's Rock" a hidden reef Stunned
by mariners, not far from Thatcher's
Island. At the time of this melancholy
shipWreck there were not more than
two or three families on Cape Ann, and
no help came for Mr. Thatcher and his
wife on the first day or the second.
Fortunately, some provisions were
washed on shore from the vessel, and
the weather cleared, SO they could make
themselves comfortable during the
enforced stay. They were finally taken
off by a fishing vessel and carried to
Marblehead. Some years later Mr..
Thatcher went from Marblehead to Var
mouth, where he lived to good old age.
Other children We're born to him and
his wife, by whom the name is perpet-
uated in various places to this day. 1t
was more than century later that the
twin lighthouses were built. They were
first lighted on December 81, It'll

Burnham's Lumber Industry.

William F. Pray, superintendent of
the branch mill of the Bryant Lumber
Company, which is located at Burn
ham, states that, during the past year,
this branch has fitted 100000 feet Of
long lumber for market. At the pres
ent time II men are given employment
and the number will be increased to 25
by February 1st Ten horses also find
steady work at the scene of operations.
The output is shipped from the Winnie
cook station, which is about three
fourths of mile from the mill on the
Belfast branch of the Maine Central
Railroad.

A Prosperous Year.

The Portland Board of Trade journal
recently put query to many merchants
and manufacturers in Maine as to their
business in 1904 compared with that of
preceding years; and what, in their opinion,
were the causes that led up to existing con-
ditions. The replies were mainly of very
encouraging nature, and among them was
the following from the Swan & Sibley Co.,
grain and feed, Belfast:
Our business for the past year will COM
pare very favorably with previous years.
Not only has the volume of business been
larger, but collections have been better
This section has been favored with good
crops that have commanded excellent prices,
and our factories have had good runs of
work.
We can see no reason why 1905 should
not be repetition of 1904.
