ARE YOU VIOLATING
THE STATE FIRE LAWS?

The legislature Of 1907 passed q
new law on the subject of burning
slashlngs. In view Of the fact, con-
siderable inquiry has been made to
this office on the subject. The fol-
lowing section is given in full on the
matter Of burning bush; the law OF
1907, page 242, section 5, reads as
follows:
During the period between June 1
and Actober /, which is hereby des-
lgnated the close season, 1t shall be
unlawful for any person or persons
to set on fire or cause to be set on
fire any slashing, chopping, wood
land or brush land, either his or their
own or the property of another,
without written or printed permission
from a state fire warden and COM
pllance with terms thereof
This restriction shall not apply to
the burning of log piles, stumps or
brush heaps. in small quantities at a
safe distance from other inflamable
material, and under adequate precau-
tion and personal control and in ac-
cordance with regulations adopted by
said board; but II any such burning,
without permission, shall result in
the escape OF the fire and injury to
the property Of another, this shall be
held prima facie evidence that such
burning was not safe, and was a vi
olation OF this section.
violations of these provisions
shall be punished by a fine OF not
less than twenty-five (25) dollars nor
more than five hundred 5000 dollars
or by Imprisonment or not less than
10 days nor more than three months"
Permits to burn, provided by this
section, may be issued by any state
fire warden, and shall contain such
restrictions as to time of burning, and
precautions to be taken, as may be
fixed by the state board of forestry
or left by said board to the discre-
tion of fire wardens. Any fire warden
shall have the right to refuse, revoke
or postpone permits when 1t is clear
ly necessary for public safety. Any
applicant dissatisfied with the deci-
sion of a state fire warden shall have
the right to appeal to the state board
of forestry. Any permit obtained
through wilful Misrepresentation
shall be invalid and give no exemp-
ton from liability of any kind.

Testimony Made Public.

COLUMBIA, March 11.-Dr. w. J.
Murray, chairman of the dispensary
commission to-day made public the
testimony taken in October in regard
to the expense and salary accounts Of
Mr.. B. F. Arthur, ole of the mem
bers Of the commission, who has re-
Gently accepted the appointment of
receiver from Judge Pritchard. Mr..
Arthur has not attended a meeting
of the commission since this meeting
was held. At that time he was ques-
toned about his voucher for ex-
penses on a trip from Richmond to
Columbia, which was charged to the
dispensary account and which he said
he was willing to refund. He was also
questioned about other items, all of
significance and about statements he
had been alleged to make as to Ger.
tain charges against DR.. Murray and
other members of the commission.
Mr.. Arthur said in his testimony that
he expected to submit a minority re-
port when the report of the commits
sion was made.
The whole testimony has been in
possession Of Governor Ansel for sew
eral months but has not been made
public until today and has not been
acted on.

Dispensary I'm Calhoun.

The dispensary situation in Calhoun
county remains unsettled. At the
last session of the general assembly
there was inserted in the proposed
amendments to the Carey-C -Cothran
law a section providing that the
county dispensaries SHALL be main
tanned in Calhoun county, which was
formed out Of Orangeburg and Lex
ington counties.
s These Amendments died in the SEN
ate, however, and Gov. Ansel has re-
ceiyed from some of those interested
In the new county inquiries as to the
status of the case. Gov. Ansel advis-
ed q friendly suit in order to settle
the matter. At present he thinks, un-
officially, that the law would con-
strue the county to be dry and if this
construction is maintained it will be
necessary for the people to wait un.
til q petition could be drawn up and
an election held.
It is probable that the friendly suit
will be arranged and a hearing held
before the supreme court at once.

Born in 'Tater Time.

The late Senator Platt, Of Con.
necticut, enjoyed funny stories and
could tell good many himself, says
the Boston Herald. Notwithstanding
his long public life he always remem-
bered yarn that he carried from his
school days. One year when the dis
trict schools opened in his town one
of the teachers, in making a record
of the ages of her pupils, as required
by law. found that one little girl, who
came from a family not noted for be-
ing especially bright, was unable to
say when her birthday came. So, in
order to complete the records the
teacher walked two miles to see the
girls mother one afternoon after
school. Asked if she could remem-
ber just when her daughter was born,
the woman thought for some little
time, and then with a sort of puzzled
look, said: "Well, the gal was born
In 'tater time, that's sure. but | can t
member whether they was a plantin'
on 'em or diggin' on 'em."

The Fight Goes On.

Gov. Ansel has taken his first step
toward resisting Judge Pritchard's IS
injunction of the $500, 900 dispensary
fund now on deposit in thirty odd
banks throughout the state. To-day
he sent a letter to each bank notify
ing them that if they pay out any
money except on an order of Chair
man Murray of the winding up COM
mission, or recognize any authority
except the states, they will be held
responsible by the state for the
amount of the deposit. This is in
direct clash with Pritchard's order
to the same banks to recognize only
the federal courts orders. The Sc
curities for the deposits are in the
vaults in the state treasurer's office.
where the governor locked up the
dispensary books from the federal
court.
Governor Ansel has also sent out a
letter to all the county boards which
bought supplies from the commission
on credit notifying them to pay no
money except to the commission. I

Dispensary Receivers Confer.

GREENWLLE, March 11.-Messrs.
c.. K. Henderson of Aiken and B. F.
Arthur of Union, receivers of the
dispensary fund, arrived in the city
this afternoon for a conference on
the situation with Mr.. J. A. McCul-
Tough of this city, the third receiver.
When asked for a statement, the re-
ceivers said that there was absolutely
nothing to be given out to the press
at this time; that they were here ar
ranging to give bond, give their
oaths and take charge of their duties:
A course to be pursued was mapped
out and it is said that a demand will
be made at once upon the winding-up
commission for the funds.
Messrs. Carter and Barnard, two
Asheville attorneys who represent a
number of liquor houses, were also
here today, but they refused to give
out anything, saying that they were
passing through the city en- route to
Atlanta and stopped over to become
acquaintedwith thereceivers. There
is no use putting any claims to the
receivers until they get some money"
remarked Mr.. Carter. He is OF the
opinion that the case will be carried
to the United States supreme court.

Work Begun in Spartanburg.

SPARTANBURG, March Ia corps
of South & Western engineers are
now at work in this county revising
and putting the finishing touches on
the line that road has surveyed from
Bostic, N. c., to Spartanburg. En-
gineer A. w. Jones, who is in charge
of the work, is in Spartanburg to-day,
but declines to discuss the plans OF
the company as to the beginning OF
the construction work below Bostic.
There is a report here, however, that
the present activity in South & Wes-
tern circles means the building on
the line will be begun this summer.
It is said that another survey is to be
made from Spartanburg to Columbia
and that a line may also be run from
Columbia to Charleston this spring.

JEALOUS SUITOR USES PISTOL
Shoots Supposed Rival and Then Com
mitS Suicide.

MARION, March 13-At 7:30 O clock
this morning in the mill of the Marion
Manufacturing company, Luther
Hewitt shot Arch Stephens twice and
dangerously wounded him and then
shot himself dead. Both parties to
the tragedy were young men, Luther
Hewitt being "a years old, and Arch
Stephens 10, and they were employ
ed as operatives in the mill of the
Marion Manufacturing company.
It seems that young Hewitt was
prompted entirely by jealousy. Last
night Arch Stephens walked home
from a party with a young lady to
whom Hewitt had been quite atten.
tive. This seemed to greatly enrage
Hewitt and later during the night
he saw Stephens and demanded ar
explanation. Stephens told him ne
had no intention of trying to hurt
him with the young lady, but merely
walked home with her rather than to
see her go alone, to which Hewitt re.
piled that it was all right if there
wasno intention of trying to interfere
with him. The affair thus seemed to
be closed. However, it is supposed
that Hewitt brooded over the matter
all night and worked himself into
fit of ungovernable jealousy by the
time for him to 20 to work in the
mill this morning. Shortly after
work began he walked up to where
Stephens was sitting on bench and
shot him twice with pistol, one ball
taking effect in the neck and the
other in the back. He then walked
out into the mill yard and shot him
self once in the temple but he did not
fall and walked about Is yards farth-
er and then shot himself again in the
temple and fell dead.
While the wounds of Stephens are
dangerous and he has suffered con-
siderably, it is thought he will event
ually recover.
Both young men stood we'll and the
unfortunate affair was a great sur
prise to their friends. tits remark
able circumstance that this is the first
difficulty which has ever occurred in
the mill village Of the Marion Man
ufacturing company. This village
has reputation for good order.

dALLMAN AND r1ILLs IN PRISON.
Two Well-Known White r1en Enter
the Penitentiary.

COLUMBIA, March 1.-Two white
prisoners, men of prominence, were
brought to the penitentiary to-day, tt
begin serving sentence, the Supreme
Court having passed on their case:
and decided against both of them.
J. w. Gallman, who killed S. M
Gilmore, in Union county, and wa:
convicted of manslaughter, was
brought down by Sheriff Sanders
His sentence is Is years.
Gallman is 40 years, old and has
family. He left his wife i'll at home
He is very highly spoken Of by those
who know him as a man of character
and courtesy. The difficulty betweer
Gilmore and Gallman occurred al
Jonesville on May Is, 1907. Gallmar
asked Gilmore if Gilmore accused
him of stealing Capt. Fosters COW
Gilmore said he did not, but thai
Gallman had accused him, Gilmore
of burning his own barn. From thi'
the lie was passed and the difficulty
began. There were five wounds II
Gilmore's body.
w. H. Mills entered the peniten
tiary to-day for the rest of his natu
raj life unless pardoned. He is
young man. At Blacksburg. about
one year ago Mills shot and killec
Frank Deal. a young man who was
a member of a nrominent Blacksburl
family. Mills claims that Deal hac
been intimate with Mrs. Mills, whose
statements as to her relations with
the two men differed at different
times. Millsjwas tried in June, 1907
and convicted of murder with recon-
mendation to mercy. On appeal the
lower court was sustained and now
Mills has begun his life sentence.
