Comptroller General Jones has re-

portionment of the dispensary prof
its for school purposes. It is likely
that the issue will have to be decided
by the courts.
The Governor, through Commits

pensers to ship whiskey into those
counties voting out the dispensary;
or, in other words, he has declared it
to be unlawful for dispensers to fill
any shipping orders.

purchasing various kinds of labor,

provide against the scarcity of labor

near Honea Path, last week, was not

white men, because they believed
the Court and a white jury would

seen whether they will be adequately
punished, or turned loose to continue
their course of crime.

There were hot times at the bar
haene at Rateshurp last Saturday

There were hot times at the bar
becue at Bstesburg last Saturday
and the large crowd in attendance
was treated to scene which carried
one bsck to the campaigns of the
early SOS. The sensational feature
of the occasion, if such it can be call
ed, happened during the speech OF
Senator Tillmsn and at that point
when he declared that he had asked
the Governor to remove the present
State Board of Dispensary Directors
because they have trampled the law
under foot and ignored many points
in the law. They don't buy under
the competitive system any longer.
II was not his business, but the
Governors, and when he got to ''the
Board says in its advertisements that
no bids for x liquor for less than
81 50 viii! be received" then Col.
John Bell Towill, a member of the
Board, arose and the following COL
loquy ensued:

Towill-'sGod knows what YOU did

buy liquor for the whole State; I had
to buy liquor on credit because I
didn't have the money to pay for it.
how ABOUT REQUEST BOOKS.
aWhat about the request books,
Mc. Tewill ?"-sbe reply was lost in
the noise which followed.
Senator Tillman then said he had
met Mr.. Towill on the train shortly
efter his election on the Board and
had congratulated him, telling him
that if he would get in the middle of
the road he would be all right, and
Towill said that was what be intend
ed to do, but that he had played the
devil doing it.
Mr.. Towill arose and said some.
thing which was not heard by the
correspondent. to which Tillman re-
piled: II haven't charged you with
stealing"
Senator Tillman afterward said in,
conversation with several gentlemen
that he had absolutely no feeling
against Mr.. Towill and believed him
to be thoroughly honest, but thought
that he was in bad company.
Otherwise the meeting passed off
quietly and everybody had good
time and plenty to eat. The other
speaker was the Hon. G NJ. Efrd.
aStepping upon the platform,
laboring under much excitement,
Mr.. Tow;ll declared that he had no
personal feeling against Seustor Till
man; was sorry that he had lost his
head and would not DO 90 sgain.
Continuing be said: II hold dear
my good name, snd I would rather
be esteemed by Bstesburg people
than to have any Office in the gift of
the people. I have not been 6e-
bauched neither have I been bribed.
