OBITUARY.

Mrs. Belle M. Lachicotte McDow-
ell was born in Charleston, S. c., on
the 18th of August, 1851, while her pa
rents, Capt and Mrs. P. II. Lachicotte,
were residing in that city. They aft
erwards moved to Waverly Mills, in
GEORGETOWN county, where she spent
the greater part of her life. She was
the second of her parents ter chill
dren, and being devoted daughter
and sister, much of her life was spent
in ministering to their happiness and
comfort.
Shortly after the, death of her pa
rents, (whom she nursed most ten
derly) she was united in marriage,
December 29th, 1897, with Rev.
James Mcdowell, and lived few
years in Manning. They then moved
to Sumter, where she resided over
six years. The last ten months Of
her life were spent at Workman, in
Clarendon county, near the churches
of her husband.
In November they went to visit her
brother, Capt Frank W. Lachicotte,
and three other brothers, with their
families, at Waverly Mills. While
there she contracted pneumonia, and
after an illness of eight days, she
passed away from her former old
home, to her heavenly one above, on
the 18th Of December, 1906, in the
56th year of her age.
Her funeral services were conduct
ed the following day, by Rev. w. ].
Mckay, d. D., in the Presbyterian
Church in Sumter, s. c., assisted by
the pastor Of the church, Rev. ]. P.
Marion, Jr., in which church she had
been communing member during
the last six years of her life. Her
precious remains were then laid to
rest in the cemetery near the city

church, and co the end Of her life,
she lived a professed follower Of the
Saviour. On her death bed she de-
clared that cher trust was in Him."
She was a lovely and beautiful
woman; gifted and attractive, and
greatly admired wherever she went,
and she was such loving and devot-
ed wife, that it could well be said Of
her, 'the heart Of her husband doth
safely trust in her.
Her death is truly a mysterious
providence, but the Lord knew what
was best, and he took her to Himself,
and His language is, "Whar dc, thou
knowest not now, but thou shalt know

obstruct it's passage. But Senator
Clifton objected and again the resolu-
ton was ordered by the chair for
consideration today.
It was not until after the discussion
of the 2 1-2 cent passenger rate bill
had progressed for some 80 minutes
that Mr.. Clifton arose and announced
the withdrawal OF his objection to
Immediate consideration of the reso-
luton. On the question Of adopting
the resolution there was then not
dissenting vote.
The resolution goes to the house to-
day and if it is acted upon favoraply,
as it undoubtedly will be, the ques-
ton Of removing Rawlinson, Wylle
and Black will be squarely up to Gov.
Ansel. And the question Of institut-
ing criminal or civil prosecution will
also be UP to him. If he should dl-
rect Attorney General Lyon to begin
proceedings, he would, in all prooa-
bility, give the prosecution right of
way over all other matters issuing
from his Office. Mr.. Lyon declined to
make any statement when seen by
reporter last night.
Director Wylie was the only mem
Der of the board in the city last night.
Reporters called at his hotel for
statement, but he could not be seen
at the time.
The action of the committee came
as surprise to every one. To this
committee had Peen entrusted the du-
~ of framing 4 local option bill and
its recommendation by resolution last
night was not unnatural. The resolu-
ton will come up in the house to-
1ay

GOVERNOR HAS POWER.
1t is Said That the Dispensary Board
Will Be Removed.


Columbia, Feb. Sit seems to be
the general impression that after Civ
ing the accuesd men an opportunity
to present their side of the matter,
Gov Ansel will instantly remove the
dispensary directors as suggested by
the resolution adopted by both
branches of the general assembly.
Gov. Ansel has consistently declined
to discuss the case, but the public,
especially the politicians, seem to
think that he cannot do anything else.
The dispensary supporters are par
tic ularly outspoken in the expression
Of the hope that the governor will
act and act quickly. Many Of them
are sincerely desirous that what they
consider fraudulent actions shall be
punished while others openly admit
that they think the effect Of such ac-
ton will be beneficial for the dis
pensary.
One dispensary senator has stated
that the effect Of the resolution is ito
make Gov. Ansel responsible for the,
dispensary, no matter what action he
takes. If he removes the aboard he
will, if argued, have to appoint new
board, unless ne does so very quickly,
in time for the legislature to elect. If
he does not remove the board he will
be responsible for their continuation
in office. Of course this dispensary
view of it is predicated upon the sup
position that the dispensary is to re-
main as it now is, and it may be said
that Of this result the dispensary peo-
pie are very confident; they do not by
any menas admit that the dispen-
sary's abolition is certain, claiming
that the Carey-Cothran bill will not
not pass the senate at this session.
AS previously published, Gov.
Ansel has agreed to give the attorney
Of Director Wylie a hearing at noon
today.

PROSECUTION RECOMMENDED
Senate Committee Suggests the Re-
moval and Prosection of Dispensary
Directors

Directors.
Columbia. Feb. il. NJ. Rawlin-
son, Joseph B. Wylie and John Black,
members of the State board OF direc-
tors of the South Carolina dispensary,
will be removed from Office and pros
ecuted if the concurrent resolution
introduced in the senate last night
passes the house today, and if Gov.
Ansel acts accordingly.
The resolution was adopted without
a dissenting vote. It reads: THAT IN
our opinion the members of the board
of directors are guilty of violating the
law in the matter of purchases and
are subject to removal by the govern
or and prosecution"
When the resolution was read Sen
ator Cole L. Piease objected to i'm
mediate consideration. adding the
following statement:
81 do this without consultation
with any one, strictly upon my own
individual responsibility
Mr.. Oc,s said he hoped the senator
from Newberry would withdraw MS
opposition, but Mr.. Blease stood firm,
and the chair ordered the resolution
for consideration today, as the rules
provide.
After consulting with several dis
pesary members, Mr.. Blease an
nounced the Withdrawal of his OBJ
section to immediate consideration Of
the resolution, though 1 don't do it
on my own judgment he added.
The chair REQUIRED to the resolution
and it appeared that there would be
smooth sailing" after the apparent
agreement on the part of the sup
porters of the State dispensary not to

The elderly man in evening dress
had eaten his soup indiScreetly. and
when he and his wife stood up to leave
the restaurant she gave an exclamation
Of dismay at the condition of the low

considerably abashed and. grabbing a
napkin, began rubbing at the unsightly
spots. Then the waiter butted in with
his Swiss English:

since her mothers death had been his
pet. Brilliant Geraldine Frazer would
have nothing TO do with his match
making. It had been all he could ac-
cOmpliSh to induce her TO embark on
the yacht while the season was on.
Betty had announced her engage
ment to Ralph and things were as mer-
ry as Il marriage bell when the shaft
of the Ventura had cracked. Sails had
been resOrted 10, but had been blown
away in the mild hurricane that had
followed the accident, and now the
yacht was drifting far out of the track
of the cOastwiSe and West Indian
steamers.
There were provisions and water TO
last three months, but the party was
badly planned, and already they were
heartily sick of each other. Even the
newly engaged couple had found the
monotony irksOme, and the girl in a
flash of bad humOr had handed back
her ring and was too proud to ask for
it again.
Frazer left the bridge and descended
to his wifes cabin. Mrs. Frazer had
taken TO her berth at the first sign of
trouble and was comfortably enjoying
novel and a fit of the nerves while
her husband wrestled with the task of
entertaining dozen utterly uncOngen-
ial persons on board IL crippled yacht
with no immediate hope of rescue.
Mrs. Frazer looked up languidly
from her book as Frazer entered. She
received his inquiries as to her health
with dOleful air, and then Frazer sat
down on the edge of the berth.
Look here. Gerry" he said despond-
emily. Cant you get out of this and
help me? The men are growing to
hate each other, and / look to see the
women pulling each others hair any
moment"
Horrors, no. gasped Mrs. Frazer
MY nerves are bad enough as they
are
Frazer rose TO his feet From long
experience he knew the hOpelessness
or argument. He was just leaving the
room when she called him back.
Perhaps Miss Brockway can help
YOU she suggested. "She's a rather
capable girl
She resumed her book. and Frazer
went in search of Clara Brockway. He
wondered that he had not thought OF
her before. She was a sort of social
secretary to his wife, and that she was
tactful was evinced by the fact that
she had been serving in that capacity
for two years. He found her sitting
we'll up forward, for it was not Mrs.
FraZers way TO make an employee

Briefly Frazer sketched his troubles.

cult matter, for they were all sitting
