State Dlspensary Revelations.

They are probing into the State
Dispensary in South Carolina, and
the result may mean the downfall
of the system there. They will
certainly deter any other State of
an empirical turn from trying it.
Graft, of course. And the chances
are that not an infinitesimal part
of the graft has been revealed or
will be brought out during the in
vestigation. But there is enough,
in all conscience. Mr.. Banking,
the beer dispenser at Sumter,
told the committee that he had
informed the representative of a
certain Kentucky distillery that
he would like to order export
beer through him, but the repre-
sentative had told him he could
not sell beer in this State, as the
Board of Directors wanted too
much 'rake-off. " Mr.. E. Smith.
former dispenser somewhere else,
told the committee that the rep
resentative of a certain brand of
beer in 1900 told him that the dis
penser should push that brand, as
his people would put up $4,000
for a certain prospective candi-
date for Governor" The week
when the'llquor was bought from
the various houses, the board sit
ting at Columbia seems to have
been one grand, sweet orgy. The
drummers kept open house and
open bottles. All the judges sam
pied all brands. And then, when
they were not in condition to
tell the worst from the best, they
made the selections. Another
witness had gotten a position for
a friend as clerk of the board.
The friend resigned soon, saying
significantly that the temptation
was too great!" This, be it I'M
derstood, was brought out during
one days sitting. Each subse-
quent day the investigation will
doubtless add similar damning
evidence. The dispensary plan is
beautiful in theory, but in prac-
tice it is probably impossible to
prevent wholesale graft and the
mixing up of powerful liquor in
fuences in State politics, with
consequent corruption. "The
temptations are too great. On.

Saturday a Bad Day for Hamburg.

Hamburg, Miss, Sept. 23.-
This has been a black letter day
for this little town. The yellow
fever was announced here on
Sept. 10, since which time there
have been only eleven cases of
fever, four of which had been dis
charged last night at s O'Clock.
The first death occurred when
Earl Allen succumbed at 6 O'Clock
this morning. l.. II. Byrd also
died and his death was soon fol
lowed by that of Mrs. w. l.. AL
len, mother of Earl Allen, and
only a few minutes elapsed before
W. j. Strahan's death was an
nounced. The report Of DR.. Ma
gee tonight shows two new cases,
making thirteen in all, four dis
charged and four deaths, leaving
five under treatment, all of whom
seem to be doing fairly welI.-

Living At Home.

Laurel, Miss, Sept. 81. Next
to cotton and corn, which have al
ways been the leading crop of this
section, attention has been paid
for the past year or two to ribbon
cane. It has been found that it is
one Of the most profitable crops
that can be grown in this section,
400 gallons Of syrup per acre be-
ing no uncommon yield in this
county. Last year Jones county
syrup took several prizes. Nu-
merous small cane mills have
sprung up in this section within
the last year or so, and much mo-
Iasses is being manufactured for
the local and foreign market.
Formerly most IF the syrup used
in this section came from Louis
lana.
Forty years ago every farmer
in this section Of the State grew
his own wheat, and made bis flour
at home. The high price of cot
ton after the war made it more
profitable to grow cotton and buy
-four. Recently, however, q move
has been started by some of the
farmers to grow their own wheat,
and it is said that fair acreage
will be planted in this section this
winter. Owing to the inability
of farmers to secure laborers to
grow cotton, an effort IS to be
made to grow everything possible
that can be used on the farm, and
it will not be necessary to make
SO much cotton, which is the prin-
.cipaI money crop Of this section.

A Neero's Brave Act.

Waynesboro, Sept. 21.-An un,
known negro was the means yes
terday of averting what otherwise
might have proved an appalling
wreck on the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad. The operator at this
place received orders for No. 4,
the north bound passenger train,
due here at l O'Clock p. M, to
meet the south bound local freight
at Boyce, a way station without a
telegraph Office six miles north of
Waynesboro. Being greatly rush
ed with business, the assistant
operator in charge forgot to de-
liver the orders to the passenger
here, and as a result it went
through Boyce at full speed. AZ
ter the train had left the operator
thought of the order, but too late.
He then wired Shubuta to hold
the freight, but Shubuta answered
the freight had been gone some
time and was beyond recall. It
was at this point, when wreck and
ruin seemed inevitable, that ne
gro stepped in and aVerted the
impending doom. No one knows
who he was or what his business

trains were approaching each 9TH

curve, this negro took in the stu
