BIG RUM SHOP
KNOCKED OUT
South Carolina VIII Be Put on
Local Option Basis.
SENATORS DID THE WORK
Governor Ansel Fires Members of Board
Charged with Encouragement and
Illegal Purchase of Booze.

The South Carolina state senate,
Saturday, by vote of q to Is, pass
ed the Carey bill abolishing the state
dispensary system and substituting a
local option system between county
dispensaries and prohibition.
This ends South Cardinals expert
ment of II years with the state dis
pensary system of handling whiskey
and is distinct defeat for the dis
pensary element which has had the
leadership OF Senator Tillman.
The house has already passed the
local option bill by large majority
and the bill will become law as soon
as signed by Governor Ansel, who
was elected ON a platform carrying
out this local option idea.
Governor Ansel at once removed
from Office the three members OF the
state dispensary board who were ac-
cused by the legislative committee
OF gross mismanagement and illegal
purchase of whislley.
These members are J. M. Rawling-
son. of Richland; J, B. Wylie, Of
Chester, and John V. Black. Of Col
letcn.
The ramoyaJ came only few days
before the board would be removed
from Office by the bill abolishing the
dispensary, which the legislature has
passed.

The Twenty-seventh street crossing
is veritable death trap, more than
a dozen accidents having happened
there. 1t is at a number of furnaces,
among them being those of the SIoss-
Sheffield Steel and Iron company. The
street cars at this point have to
cross about a dozen tracks, those OF

Disgusting Testimony in Thaw Case

PRESIDENT TAKES ACTION

A Washington special says: Monday
President Roosevelt called upon the
postmaster general, according to of

white house, ito know whether 1T

The presidents letter was referred
to Assistant Attorney General Good
win of the postofice department, for
a legal opinion If anything is done
it is expected that it will be
done promptly, though Judge Goodwin
is now out of town.
The president, in directing the at
tention of the postmaster general to
the reports Of the Thaw case, did so
without knowledge of the latters sell
timents, but had in view, evidently,
the federal statute forbidding the
sending through the mails OF "lewd,
lasciWous and obscene matter"
Unquestionably the work oil censor
ing the daily newspapers OF the coun-
try would be attended with many diff
ficulties and possibly daily legal con-
tests would result over wherher or
not newspapers had complied with
the postofice regulations in printing
certain evidence adduced at the trial.
The present force OF postofHce inspec-
tors would have their hands full as
at least one inspector would be needed
in each city where daily newspapers
are published Whether or not legal
action follows the presidents action,
he has placed himself on record as
condemning the stories published.
Since the Thaw trial began the New
York papers have been excluded from

Pert Of Rockefeller's Great Gift viii Come
in ih.s Direction.
A New York dispatch says: Fred
erick T. Gates, chairman of the gen
eral education board to which John
D. Rockefeller gave $32,OOO,OO0 few
days ago, says that the income from
this gift and the income from Mr..
Rockefeller's prior gift Of $l1,000,0OO
will be used to increase the resources
Of various educational institutions Ia
this country within the next decade,
by from 5000, 100000 to $250,000,VJ0.
This is to say, the board will aim to
stimulate local pride in and generos-
ity toward public institutions and
colleges throughout the nation, and its
distribution OF the income will usual
ly be conditioned upon the raising OK
larger amounts by the recipient.
1t is understood that the idea of
the elder Rockefeller is to make his
future benefactions through his son.
This is said to be indicated by his
having made the gift of last Thurs
day through the junior Rockefeller.
1t is probable that the younger Rookie
teller will devote most of his time
hereafter to administering the bene-
