Commissioner Tatum has issued an
order of far-reaching Importance to
the inspectors under him. which is
designed to give thorough checking
up of dispensers each time an inspec-
tor comes around, and in a short time
Mr.. Tatum expects to get a system 60
ing whereby these inspections will oc-
cur regularly with each dispenser IN
the state once a month. Mr.. Tatum
realizes that an inspector is an audi
tor, and he is now requiring such a
checking up as will put the inspector
in position to swear to every item in
his report and to report as a whole.
Not only must the entire stock be
checked over, but the bank books as
we'll.
"At one time,' said an ex-inspec-
tor. today, "inspectors had habit in
a number Of places Of leisurely stroll
ling into a dispensary and having the
dispenser copy his last stock sheet
for a report of inspection. Twice as
much time is required to check up
a dispensary now.'
From what has been published in a
number Of papers recently the impress
sion has gone out that the inspection
force has been increased. Such is
not the case. Two new inspectors have
been added in the persons Iof p. 3.
Callison, Of Greenwood, and William
Lamar, of Columbia, but Inspector
W. J. McCartha resignation took
effect the first Of this month and that
of A. H. Dean takes effect the first
of next month. In other words the
first of May will find the same in
spection force Of four, Messrs. R. W.
Nichols, of Laurens, and M. W. Floyd,
of. Spartanburg, being the other two
members Of the force. AS matter OF
fact the force has been reduced since
last year. J. L. Thorp, who last year
served as an inspector, has this year
been transferred to the bookkeeping
department. And there are three less
men in the clerical department this
year were serving there the same time
last year.

Ianeford-W d-WTight.

Promptly .at 7:45 last Thursday
night, Mr.. A. J. S. Langford gave in
marriage his daughter, Clara to
Robert Herman Wright.
The bride was gowned in white
messeline built over taffeta with a
real lace yoke. The skirt was panel
led with hand made roses. Her veil
was crowned with a wreath of natur-
al oragne blossoms. Her only orna-
ment was a diamond and pearl cres-
cent, gift of the groom. The church
was beautifully decorated. The ef-
feet Of the white and gren was made
more pronounced by the brilliancy Of
many electric lights and candles.
While Mrs. J. W. Haltiwanger
played a very appropriate selection
on the organ, the usshers, Messrs,
Fellers, Wallace, Glider and John
stone followed by the bridesmaids,
Misses Houseal, Griffin, Peal Lang
ford, Schumpert and Holloway and
the brides sister, Miss Langford as
maid of honor and the groomsmen,
Messrs. Eskridge, Renwick, McFall,
Mays, Haskell Wright and Mr.. 4. F.
Wright, the brother Of the groom as
the best man. The bride entered
with her father and was met by the
groom and his best man at the chan
eel where they were betrothed with
the ring service.
Immediately after the ceremony an
elaborate reception was given them
at the home Of the brides parents.
The color scheme throughout the
house was white and green. Especial
ly noticeable were the elaborate dec
orations in the dining room. The
brides table was a work Of art.
Ropes Of tulle were suspended from
the chandelier to each corner Of the
table. In the center Of the table was
an embankment Of brides roses and
natural orange blossoms. Candles in
profeusion added greatly to the bril-
liancy of the table.
In the cutting Of the BRIDES cake,
Mr.. Mayes found the dime, Mr..
Wright the ring, Miss Griffin the
thimble, and the maid Of honor, the
three cent piece.
The presents were numerous and
costly. Amid shower Of rice the
bride and groom left at midnight for
the home Of the groom.

Forced to Vacate Building.

Copeland Bros. the popular dry
goods and clothing merchants must
vacate at an early date the building
they now occupy. They will tomorrow
ininaugurate a monster sale. Ir
speaking Of the sale member Of the
firm said:
"We had no idea that we would
loose our recent law suit and would
have to vacate this building We
were so confident we would win the
suit that we not only had not look
ed for other quarters but bought an
immense stock Of goods for this sea-
son. It is certainly case Of hard
luck that right in the height Of the
season we must vacate and not a
building in the city to hold over half
of our stock. There was only one
thing that we could do and that is to
throw our stock on the market at a
sacrifice and stand the loss. We
have engaged the services of H. l..
Gilmore & Co., Of New York, expert
sale conductors, who have conducted
the largest sales ever conducted in
this country to conduct our sale as
we are determined to- close out the
biggest part Of the stock in this sale. -
Mr.. Gilmore has the following to
say: "Copeland Bros. have brought
US here to conduct their Forced Sale.
It is too bad they could not hold the
building until the season was over. 1t
certainly means big loss to the firm.
We will conduct this sale on the same
lines we conduct sales in the larger
citiesA We have conducted sales in
almost every city in this state: We
have been in this business nearly 19
years and our experience has taught
US that you can turn merchandise into
cash if you put on the right price,
you can say to your readers that they
will witness the biggest mercantile
event that has ever occurred since
was a baby. We will be
a little crowded for room at first as
the stock is immense, but will try
and have SO to rs clerks on the floor
to wait on the public.'' -
They have very large stock and
for several days an extra force OF
clerks has been at work arranging
the stock and marking the goods.
Everything goes.

Too Much For the Postmaster,

Acton Eagle.
In the little village of -, or the
South Shore, a postofice was estab-
lished some twenty years ago. The
postmaster appointed was old Capt.
"Bill" Thomas, whose qualifications
for the position we're a credited
knowledge Of the three RS and his
ownership Of the local store. He
was very proud Of his new position,
but felt the responsibilities keenly.
A summer resident one day having
occasion to send a postal card writ
ten in French to a friend in Paris
was surprised to see the postmaster
take it and, adjusting his speetacles,
attempted to read it. Being unable
to do so, he turned rather sharply to
the sender and asked if the postal
was "all right"
The gentleman rather Indignantly
replied: "Why! What do you
mean?'
"Well, you see,'' said the captain,
~ amt able to read it very well,
being written in some foreign tongue
so I'll have to take your word for it.
You see, I'm accountable to Uncle
Sam for everything that goes through
the mail.'

OPPOSITION WILL ORGANIZE.
Preparing For Campaign Against
Dispensary-Meeting Held In
Columbia Last Week.

The following; is from the State Of
last Friday:
"a meeting Of opponents of the
state dispensary system was held here
tonight, at. which it was decided to
inaugurate campaign against the
system, and to see to it that fight
is made in every county,"
The above statement was given to
the press last night by Rev. L. j.
Bristow, of Greenwood, at the conclu-
sion of a conference which had lasted
for several hours. It is apparent from
the statement that more will be heard
from the meeting later, and that the
purpose is to organize for a fight
against the dispensary all along the
line.
While Mr.. Bristow is well known
as a prohibitionist, there we're num-
Der present who are not prohibition
lists but several OF them have been
identified with the fights against the
dispensary in the various counties
under the Brice law. The author Of
that law, Senator J. S. Brice, of York,
was present and among the others
were: Rev. D. W. Hiott, who led the
fight in Pickens; Mr.. D. R. Coker Of
Hartsville, who was prominent in the
Darlington election against the dis
pensary; Senator W. L. Mauldin and
Mr.. Joseph A. Mccullough of Green
vile; Mr.. J. C. Otis Of Cherokee and
Mr.. J. W. Hamel Of Lancaster, mem
bers of the house and others.

MIR. Malone Explains About Piano.

Referring to Mr.. Lyons letter the
State Of last Tuesday. says:
"Mr. NJ. A. Malone, from whom
Senator Tillman said in his interview
published in the State yesterday that
he purchased the piano alluded to IN
Mr.. Lyons letter, was seen yester-
day by representative of this paper
and asked if he could recall the sale
Of the instrument, the amount paid,
the person who bought it and the
time of the sale. Mr.. Malone had
read the article and unhesitatingly
stated that he sold the piano to Sen
ator Tillman for 1925 and that the
sale was made in 1891, previous to
the establishment Of the dlspensary.
Mr.. Malone said that he recalled the
sale because it was soon after Sena-
tor Tillman, then governor, went into
office and he had not long moved to
this city to occupy the executive man
sion. Furthermore, the amount paid
for the piano was a special concession
made because, as Mr.. Malone stated,
he thought the sale would enable him
to dispose of other pianos.
"Yes, SIR" said Mr.. Malone, sit
was fair and square deal and there
was no question Of graft. Immediate
ly after moving into the mansion Gov.
Tillman, with Mrs. Tillman, came to
my store and looked at the pianos.
They rented one for the purpose OF
keeping it until they had tried it.
"This instrument they decided to
buy and it was the one for which he
paid me the amount stated. He never
bought any other piano from me-"

Whv Bill Diamond is Bald.

In the office Of the Garden Hotel,
New Haven, Connecticut, one day
recently, drummer who was blessed
with a good head Of hair said to Bill
Diamond, the we'll known night clerk,
who is very bald: "Say, Bill, what
makes you so bald-headed?'
Bill, who is noted for his quick wit,
replied: "Well, you see, in these
strenuous times the head is no place
for hair; it is the place for new ideas.
That's the reason I have no hair"

MANY JAMESToWNs.
Special Invitation Extended Their
Citizens to be Present on James
town Day.

Norfolk, Va. April 16.-Or the
18th day Of May, 1907. on the waters
Of Hampton Roads and on its shores
in Norfolk county, the three hum
dredth anniversary Of the first per-
manent settlement Of English-speak-
ing people in America will be memo
rialized by the jamestown Exposition.
This date will be Jamestown Day.
There we're Spanish settlers in Amer
lea before jamestown, and the French
had established some villages along
the Canadian coast, but the palisades
on Powhatan's river which were nam
ed after the reigning monarch of Eng
land formed the first village gin the
western world where English was spo-
ken.
The descendants Of the original set
tiers. are scattered throughout the
United States.
Recently when the Daughters Of
the American Revolution visited
Jamestown Island, it was found that
not less than fifteen visiting members
Of the society traced their ancestry
directly to some inhabitant Of James
town.
The Exposition management have
discovered many Jamestowners and
have invited them to participate in
the celebration on the 18th day Of
May.
Recently it has been suggested that
inhabitants of other Jamestowns and
descendants Of past inhabitants
should be included in the general in
vitation, and, ramifying this thought,
take in the people of all the cities
named after James the First.
The Postal Guide Of the United
States gives Jamestowns in the fol-
lowing states: Alabama, Arkansas.
California, Colorado, Georgia, ILL
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Michigan. Missouri,
New York, North Carolina, North Da-
kota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is
land, Tennessee and Wisconsin, be-
sides Virginia s settlement.
Three of these Jamestowns are
county seats: one the capital Of Rus
sell county, Kentucky; another Of
Stutsman county, North Dakota; and
the third of Fentress county, Tennes-
see.
jamestown, New York, is the larg-
est Of the coterie with population Of
about $4,000; Virginia is the smallest,
having only ten inhabitants.
There are seven postof1ces called
James, three Jamesburgs, one James
City, one James Creek, one James Is
land, two Jamesports, one James Rlv-
er, one James Store, five Jamesvllles.
Both Of the Jamesports are fairly
sizeable places and three OF the
Jamesvilles have money order stations
and are places of considerable conse-.
quence.
twenty-five states have within their
borders one or more towns named
after James the First, who, if he could
return to earth, would probably per-
petrate some wonderful epigram on
the subject, since while living he was
known as "the wisest fool in Christ
endom.'

DECREASE DIsPENsARY SALES
Falling Off of Only One-Fifth in 5
Months One-Third of State ''Dry'
A Surprisingly Small De-
crease in Sales.

Figures which Commissioner Ia
tm has just secured from the books
nf the state dispensary institute al
interesting comparison between the
volume of business for the first three
months of the new year with four
teen counties that for the first three
mounths Of last year, when the old
board Of directors had things going
wide open. The figures are Of the
sales to dispensary. the invoice price
hot the prices to the consumer,
which are considerably higher. They
show a falling off for the new year
of $136.S22. which is surprisingly
small. 4 third Of the state has voted
the dispensaries out, but the falling
off in business amounts to less than
a fifth. and Mr.. Tatum says that the
sales this year would have been $780,
900 heavier had the stock not been
short in a number Of important par
ticulars the first part Of the year
before the new board took charge.
The sales for January. February
and March of last year amounted to
$712,7S4.91, as against $575,962.51
