UNIQUE GIFT FROM PILGER CITIZEN
Man whose Wife Was Patient Gives
Eleven Hundred Dollars He

The contract for the erection of the main
building for the new Methodist hospital
at Thirty-sixth and Cunning streets has
been let to F. P. Gould & Son. ROCKFORD
& Gould had the contract two years ago,
when work was discontinued on the hos
pital, and since then they have dissolved
partnership. The bid OF Gould & Son is
larger than that of ROCKFORD & Gould,
for the reason that building material has
increased in price in the last two years.
The main building will be 3sxSS2 feet, four
stories and basement. In addition there
will be built at the east end Of the main
building a service pavilion, hexagonal in
form. and 5OxEO feet at the widest points

Remarkable Man, This One.

A farmer came to town with the
snowstorm the other morning and In
quired the way to the county clerks
office. There he sat down and warm
ed himself at the radiator.
BE you the man that fixes the tax
lists?" he inquired Of Mr.. M. M. Moody,
the county clerk.
"Well, yes; If there's anything wrong
they're filed here and submitted to the
board of equalization" said the offcial:
Il suppose there's a mistake In yours?
Yes"
"fve got s4OO worth of notes the as
SCISSOR di1n't get"

from his chair.
I've got $500 worth Of notes the as
SCISSOR didn't get"
Moody looked at his deputy.
What did you understand him 10
say, Charley?" he asked, in agitation.
"He said, 1 thought, something about
$4O0 worth of notes getting away" re-
piled the deputy, but was busy and
maybe / didn't hear him right"

The clerk returned In a few minutes
with the sheriff.

eating the patriot-"is going to make

titled way at his three auditors.

That was clear enough for a Digger
Indian to comprehend. The three men
gathered around the patriot and wrung
his hand. The sheriff said he'd take
him to dinner. The clerk told him II
he'd stay over night he'd chaperone
him to the theatre and settle his reck-

clerk offered to escort him to his house
and show him his new baby. The pa
triot wondered.
You see." exclaimed the county
clerk, such a thing never happened
before, and in all human probability
never will again. You are a man
among men, you are and before the
weeks out you'll be the most famous
citizen in the county. Are you sure

to Dick Peyton"
"The Lord preserve us!" calculated
the mistress of the hovel, as she open
ed the door: Bloody Spur, Is 1t you?
What Ill luck brings you here tonight?'
"a gang of Tories, Mistress Wingate'
from the Black River, under THAT cut

morning at Lowder's Lake. They have
been thieving and burning as far as
Waggamaw, and are now on the road
home by the upper ferry. They Will

hour. Your husband, Bob Wingate, and
myself, were sent out by General Mar
ion this morning to reconnoitre the

after sunset, below Lumberton, and
have tracked them up here. Bob has
got pistol shot through his arm. He
was lucky enough, however. to escape
their clutches; but believing they had
spite against him, and would ride
past his house tonight, he told me TO
call and give you warning, and to help
you to drive the cattle back Into the
swamp"
How many mought there be
friend?"
Between two and three hundred, at
least" said the trooper; I'VE counted
fifty in the vanguard-those that fol-
lowed made long column of march.
They have stolen a good many horses
and cattle, all of which are with them,
and several prisoners"

fall to, and saddle, boys" shouted
Horse Shoe. Miss Mildred, it will not
do to stand. / am sorry to break In

Everything about the hut was now
in confusion. Henry and the sergeant
were equipping the horses, whilst Isaac
was gathering up the baggage. Bloody
Spur-to adopt the riders nom de
guerre-had dismounted, and was busy
in removing the few articles of value
from the hut; the mother and children,
meanwhile, were pouring forth loud la
mcntations.
Mildred, in the midst Of this scene
Of uproar, hurriedly made her prepar-
ations for departure; and whilst she
was yet engaged In this care, con-
fused murmur was heard. at some dis
tance up the road-and the rattle OF
sabres, as we'll as the hoarse voice and
abrupt laughter of men, announced
that the freebooters were at no great
distance from the dwelling.
"Merciful heaven!" exclaimed MIL

her fears: "they are fast approaching

less alarm, II will die by your side, be-

600. 1 have read An act relating to
dispensary profits acts 1902, page
1902, in which 1t rs provided that the
directors of the dispensary shall pay
to the state treasurer by January 1.
1904. all the school funds reported
by them in excess of $400,000 and
making provision for ascertaining
quarterly thereafter, the net profits
accruing to the state. No doubt the
senator will cite accurately the law
he refers to.
1t fs somewhat surprise to know
that the senator has spoken in such
strenuous language, because the pub
lie has been notified, at his request,
that we are investigating the piano
matter. He characterizes this as a
dirty and cowardly insinuation. I
agree with him that 1t is rather a
dirty looking thing all the way
through, and I may have acted cow
ardly, but the senator cannot fiatter
himself that 1t was an insinuation. On
the other hand 1t was a plain state
ment that the piano matter was un-
der investigation. because 1t came to
us that 1t was possibly rake off,
a sufficient reason for investigating It..
We have investigated at least one
other transaction, somewhat similar
to the piano matter. This latter was
Investigated largely for the reason
that the senator publicly expressed
his suspicion about 1t. 1t is only sus-
picions that we have to commence
on, and 1t is not my purpose to tell
about suspicious transactions that are
being probed, unless those under in
vestigation ask for information at a
time when 1t may safely be given. I
would suggest, however, IL information
is not really desired, 1t may be well
not to be too inquisitive, for someone
else might be offended.
The interview has represented the
senator as saying that my pretext for
delay is that / may look into the rec
ords of the Mill Creek Distilling COM
pany, to see whether there are any
credits. Is It not little strange that
the senator should thus refer to Mil
Creek when no mention of it is made
in my letter? The statement In this
respect is the product Of his own fer
tile imagination. Is 1t not singular
that he should associate In his mind
Mill Creek distillery and rebates? This
of itself would warrant the committee
in looking for "a niger in the wood
pile" in the back yard of the Mill Creek
distillery.
But now comes the startling denial
that he ever said anything about re-
turning rebates. 1t may be interesting
to read his interview along with his
sworn statement before the committee.

Senator From Beaufort Gives His
View As to the Dispensary Situation.
Senator Neils Christensen of Beau
fort and Representative ]. Fraser
Lyon of Abbeville, were both ortho-
dox dispensary men when they were
appointed to membership on the dis
pensary investigating committee; but
as the result of their Investigations
the views Of both have materially
changed. Representative Lyon gave
an intimation Of what he thinks ir
letter already published in another
column, and Senator Christensen, who
Is editor of the Beaufort Gazette
sizes up the situation in his paper as
follows:
Effort to Pack the Convention.
Senator Tillp.6l, the avowed lead
er and manager Of the dispensary
forces, has called on his followers all
over the state to go into the club
meetings on April 28th and elect dis
pensary delegates to the county con-
ventions. The county conventions
will be expected to pack the state
convention with dispensary delegates
The state convention, probably un-
der Tillman's personal leadership,
may be expected to secure every
strategetical advantage for the dis
pensary. The dispensary forces have
an old and experienced organization
and a veteran leader. He expects
every man in his ranks to rally to
his CALL Large financial interests are
involved, industrial enterprises and a
host Of personal interests are involved
and these too will rally.
Now, how should the opponents
Of the dispensary state ring meet this
purpose to pack the conventions? 1t
Is our idea that they should demand
simply that no action be taken by the
convention to PREJUDICE the issue. The
primary is the battle ground. 1t
would be unjust to gag the people, or
In any way commit them on this is
sue through resolutions Of party con-
ventions. The Democratic clubs and
conventions are, as far as this issue
..s concerned. simply managers to ar
range for a fair contest"

The Issue.

1.-The coming campaign Is going to
be a hard fought one. The issue will
be between the state dispensary and
county dispensary. We will have the
contest in this county, because can
didates for the legislature will be
asked to declare themselves. The
candidates for governor, lieutenant
governor, attorney general, and per-
haps others will be called on to face
the issue. This being the case 1t is
very important that the issue should
be understood.
I'm the first place license Is not
proposed by anyone.
"In the second place both the coun-
ty dispensary and the state dispen-
sary leaders favor allowing the
counties to choose between prohibit
ton and dispensary Of one kind or
the other-this is, all the leaders ex-
cept Blease, who wants to take away
the right to vote a dispensary out Of
county.
80 the fight narrows down to a
question between county and state
dispensary. 1t Is a contest between
a peoples dispensary and a ring dis
pensary.
I'VE are for a peoples dispensary.
We are disgusted with the ring man
agement. We want the people of
Peaufort county to run their own dis
pensary. They won't stand for rings.
Give them the right to elect their
own board Of control. They will not
tolerate graft. The combination in
Columbia is too big, 1t is too far away,
let us have something we can man.
age. where we can manage 1t.
This county Is not ready for prohi-
bition. 1t wants a dispensary, but 1t
does not want that corruption up in
Columbia that mas been growing tig-
ger and worse each year for thirteen
years. Cut that out. 1t is too much
for liouor, too much for bottles, too
much for labels, 1t squanders the
biggest part of the profits. A peoples
dispensary. at home where the people
ran watch 1t would be able to make
much larger profits than the graft
ring In Columbia has made.
do not mix the issues. 1t Is the
peoples dispensary against the ring
dispensary with the choice Of prohi-
bition If you like it best"

he said, II would then be willing to re-

passed fixing the salaries of senators
