ya1halla, In the extreme northwestern
Corner of the state, at o'clock this

= Spartanburg June 1: The death Of
j. H. Zimmerman, which occurred at
his home at Cedar Springs this morn
ing, is proving puzzle to physicians
and Is worthy of the attention Of those
who hold belief In the influence that
mind exerts over physical man. Mr..
Zimmerman's death was due to the
sting of a bee, received yesterday
morning. When the bee alighted on
Mr.. Zimmerman's ear and left his
stinger, he called out in pain and his
wife hastened to him. He walked
about ten feet and fell In an uncon-
scious condition from which he never
rallied, though everything known to
the attending physicians was done to
pears, lived in mortal dread of bees
and on several occasions when stung,
took to his bed and remained several
weeks. The fear OF bees seemed to
prevail at all times and when he was
stung yesterday he seemed at once to
abandon hope Of recovery.
= Marion, May 80: Mr.. M. Mannheim,
former dispenser at Marions was be-
fore United State Commissioner ]. 8.
Moore OF Bennettsville, this morning
on the charge of violating the United
States revenue law against selling IL
quor without a license, and bound over
to the United States court In Charles
ton next week. Since the dispensary
closed Mr.. Mannheim has, IL Is said.
been conducting regular business OF
soliciting orders for North Carolina
house for liquor and receiving the pay
for the same, at the time Of taking the
orders, but has not been delivering the
liquor. In all cases the liquor has been
shipped direct to the parties giving the
orders. Since the opinion was render
ed by the attorney general several
weeks ago to the effect that taking or
ders for liquor and receiving the mon
ey therefor at the time, was a viola
ton Of the state law against the sale
Of intoxicants, there has been consid-
cradle talk Of the town authorities
prosecuting parties thus engaged, but
so far they have taken no step in this
direction. The action OF the United
States authorities in taking up the
matter was a surprise. The warrant
for Mr.. Mannheim was issued upon an
affidavit made by Major ]. ID. McLucas,
who was acting as a member OF the
executive committee OF the Marion
Law and Order League. This Is the
first visible fruit of the work of the
League, which was organized here sew
eral weeks ago. The hearing was held
In the court house this morning, and
the witnesses used were men Of the
highest type of citizenship. They all
testified to having given orders for
whisky to the accused and paying him
for the same. Mr.. Mannheim admitted
willingly the truth Of the testimony
He claims that he has the legal right.
under the United States inter- state
commerce law to take orders as he has
been doing for whisky, to be shipped
in from another state; that others have
always done the same thing openly,
even during the time while the dispen-
sary was In operation here. So far as
Is known there has not been a case
tried in this state before similar to this,
and the outcome will be watched with
considerable interest. The Prohibi-
tionists claim that the drinking OF
whisky could be greatly curtailed IL
the practice Of soliciting orders for IL
quor can be prevented.
