Governor Heyward to Take OF Sew

4 ApYRRfIgaNlH9:

Governor Hayward will reduce the
consfabulary force following the vot-
ing out OF the dispensary in the four
counties of Cherokee, Pickens, Union
and Newberry, although it is not like
IL that he will take any action in
Union until the dispensaries are closed
there.
AS was published some time ago the
governor's policy has always been to
withdraw from county going dry the
constabulary force until complaint
was made that the law was not en-
forced or that the county authorities
were not doing their duty. The ex-
pense Of maintaining the force is
something like $4,000 year, due
partly to an increase in their salaries
by the last legislature.
with three or four counties without
dispensaries it will be necessary to
lar OF a number Of men as the other
counties have their full share. The
governor is now awaiting a report
from the sub-chiefs as to the number
of men in the various counties that
have gene dry and as soon as their
assignments have been reported to
him he viii order the reduction

Manning Won't Dodge.

Senator Manning, Of Sumter coun-

as a candidate for governor next

about the dispensary shows that he is
not the man to dodge an issue or wait
until he sees which way popular SEN
timent is going before he defines his
own position.-Orangeb Times and

biggest railroad deals which has ever
been planned for Charleston and the
satisfactory progress of the affairs, in
suring the consummation Of the pro-
ject will prove a source Of great sat
isfaction and encouragement to the
business people Of Charleston.
The establishment of the coal depot
will prove of itself a big thing for
Charleston. With the building and
operation Of the navy yard and the
plan of making Charleston a port Of
refuge, the demand for fuel will be
especially large in future years and
the big railroad system is preparing
to meet this business building to

passengers aboard the steamer, but
after time they were quieted.

Honest. But in Bad Company.

In his speech at Edgefeld, Senator
Tillman said he had heard report
that John Bell Towill, of Batesburg,
had received fine horse as a present
from some whiskey dealer in Ken
tucky. Now the Batesburg Advocate
states that Mr.. Towill bought the
horse from a dealer in Batesburg, and
paid $275 for the animal. Everybody
who knows John Bell Towill will
stand for his honesty and integrity.
even if he is in bad company. We do
not believe that he has accepted re-
bates or presents or anything else
which he ought not. We have dis
cussed with him his connection with
the State board on more than one oc-
casion, and we feel sure that if every
nan connected with the dispensary
was as straight as Towill, the system
would be honestly administered, and
the restrictive features Of the law
fully carried out. John Bell rowill is
not a CRATER, and Senator Tillman
should not have alluded to such a. re-
port without some evidence at least
of its truth.-Bamberg Herald.

RARE SUCCESS
Delightful Musicale Rem.
dered at Opera House
Last Evening.

The musicale given at the opera
house last evening by Mr.. and
Mrs. Thompson of Sioux Falls
was one Of the most enjoyable
musical events ever given in the
city, ndit is hard to say whether
the playing of Mrs. Thompson or
the singing of Mr.. Thompson
was most enthusiastically re
ceived. Every number on the
program was a delight. Mr..
Thompson has a tenor voice Of
marvellous sweetness and powor,
his enunciation was perfect and
his selections we're rendered
with delightful Interpretation.
Mrs. Thompson's accompani.
ments were pearls Of music in
themselves, while her piano solos
ravished the hearts of the lovers
of music Of Bemidji. The open
ing mum Der, "The Dance Of
Death by Mrs. Foster and Mrs.
Thompson was a wonderful piece
of music while Mr.. Thorn pson s
rendition Of eff With all Your
Hearts" from the sOrator1o of
Elijah was grand and mostoeauti-
full. The audience was composed
of practically the entire music
loving people of the city and it is
doubtful if any audience was eyer
better pleased.

Good Progress. In Kr,ss Case.

FREMONT. Neb., Dec. 12.-(Special) THE
case against John J. Kriss the Union Pa
ci1c brakeman charged with manslaughter
by throwing William Mcmahon of a train,
il progressing rapidly. The morning ses-
sion was taken up with the testimony Of
the doctors who performed two autopsies
on the remains at the request of the de-
ceased's father. They were not cross-ex-
amined and scarcely an objection was made.
B. F. French was the principal witness on
the stand this afternoon. He testified to
seeing Kriss kick Mcmahon once and kick
at him several times as the train was pass
ing. His cross-examination rather tended
to weaken his testimony by showing that
on account of curve in the track 1t would
be rather hard for a man where he was
to see all that took place in the narrow
space between the engine and tender.
Chris Rogengreen also testified to seeing
Kriss kick at Mcmahon. but was unable to
say that he hit him. The latter, he said.
fell off three car lengths east of where the
engine was when he saw the two men. The
court room was filled this afternoon and
interest in the case is increasing. The case
made by the state is weak one.
