BLACK CASE ENDED.

Columbia, June 12.-Today Cover
nor Heyward took up in his office in
the State house the case Of Disper-
sary Director John Black against
whom he had issued a rule to show
cause why he should not be removed
from Office because Of his action
in cursing and threatening to Kill ].
Fraser Lyon, a member Of the dis
pensary investigating committee.
The only persons present were the
governor, two newspaper men, As
sistant Attorney General Ray and ".
B. Gruber ana P. H. Nelson, Major
Blacks attorneys.
The investigating committe was
not represented by any Of its mem
bers nor an attorney. It had been in
vited 10 appear, but did not do so.
nor did it make any explanation of
its refusal or failure to Go so.
Unomcially, it is runored that the
reason for this strange ignoring Of
the governor by the committee on
matter i. had brought to his attention
was a lack of unanimity, a majority
of the members not approving Of the
desire of a minority to have the case
pushed TO the outcome Of Major
Blacks dismissal.
Mr.. Gruber handed the governor
the following letter:
Columbia, S. c., June y, 1906.
To His Excellency, D. c. Heyward,
Governor, Columbia, S. C.
Dear Sir: T wish to present to you
and through you to the members Of
the dispensary Investigating commit
tee the following statement in refer
ence to the difficulty between Mr.. j.
Fraser Lyon and myself, which mat
ter has been referred to you.
A few minutes before my encounter
with AIr. Lyon I had received informa-
ton that my private affairs, these ar
fairs having no connection with my
office, were being probed into and
that private matters would be brought
out in the course Of the investigation
and would be presented in an entirely
erroneous. unwarranted and harmful
light. The receipt Of such informa-
ton naturally caused me to become
greatly indignant and happening at
this moment to see SIR. Lyon I was
swayed by sudden heat AID passion
and I used language and assumed an
attitude which, however, great con-
ceived the provocation to be, was not
justified in the circumstances, and
which I regret.
I had no purpose to be in contempt
of the dispensary investigating COM
n1ittee, nor to offer such committee
any indignity nor to obstruct the
committee in any legitimate investi-
cation.

statement and regret the occurrence.
Very respectfully, John Black.
AFTER reading the letter, Governor
Hayward said:
Gentlemen, I have read the letter
and will take the responsibility upon
myself in this case as governor to dis
miss the rule to show cause, and 1
state to the representatives Of the
press that I will laer communicate
to the dispensary investigating COM
raittee my reasons for this action"
The governor also called attention
to the fact that ne had served notice
on the committee to appear at the
hearing if it wished to do so, but that
it had not appeared, though the pro-
ceedings had been delayed over an
hour beyond the time set.

THE DRUNKEN WOMAN.

Upon her return to New York
from a European trip, a wealthy
American woman gave a dinner at
a fashionable hotel to a party of
women friends.
Twenty-Five sat down to an elab-
orately garnished board in a pri-
vate apartment. The hostess,
whose husband is a we'll known
merchant, sat at the head of the
table.
Waiter" she said, 81 want you
to open wine and keep the glasses
full"
81 should think you'd start it
with a cocktail" commented an
eastern woman, mother of two chill
dren.
Il don't know why l should" re-
piled the hostess. Il have been
drinking highballs and cocktails
ever since got out of bed at 2
o'clock this afternoon"
The party laughed.
Some had their way, however,
and cocktails were served first to
them. Others started with wine.
Two women sat at that table who
did not drink.
Twenty quarts of champagne
were opened and consumed by 20
women between 8 o'clock in the
evening and o'clock the next
morning.
We will not mention the high
balls and cocktails.
The hostess of this delightful en-
tertainment was too drunk at mid
night to hold her head up. Three

extent that they could not leave the

This occurred among highly re-

1t is doubtless true the the use
of intoxicants by women is on the

public places with men and the
