WHISKEY BUILT CHURCH.
Big Profits Made from Dlspensary in
Part of Orangeburg.

Orangeburg, S. c., Jan. 27.-There
seems to be good business for the
dispensary at the town of Livingston,
in this county. So much so in fact
that the profits could not all be ex-
pended in improvements about the
town and were donated for the pur-
pose of erecting church. The church
has been about completed, and doubt
less a portion of the last quarters
profits will go towards furnishing the
interior of the edifce, and in short
while the house of worship will be
ready for use.
This is perhaps the first Instance
in which money from the dlspensary
has gone in this direction, and it was
done, so it is stated on good author
ity, with the full consent of the cltl-
zens of the town of Livingston. The
story Of the building of the church
with dispensary money was told some
days ago, and this morning the facts
In the case were learned.
So The town gets on an average OF
something like $4,000 year from
the dispensary, to be used in the i'm
Drovement of the town, and the past
year saw all the Improvements so far
advanced that it was not necessary
8 20 expend all of the money received
from the dispensary in making any
additional improvements to any great
extent. 1t seems that the town ex-
pended all the money for this pur-
pose this year that was needed and
there was still good sum left over
and there was some difficulty expert
enced in deciding in what manner the
remaining sum should be expended.
1T was suggested that the church be
built, and so upon the furnishing OF a
certain amount by the members, the
town donated a sum of something
like $1,000. The total cost OF the
church will be about $4,000. 1t was
stated that there was some little OBJ
lection on the part of some OF the
church members to accepting this
smoHey, but they were finally persuad'
ed TO do so.
Tie church building. though not
genurely completed as yet, has been
sa1ready turned over to the Methodist
sconference.

His Sign Down.

A disheveled man, much the worse
for liquor, staggered out of Maine
"speak-easy'' and laboriously propped
himself against the door. For a while
he owlishly surveyed the passers-by
Suddenly his foot slipped and he col
Ispsed in a heap on the sidewalk. A
moment later he was snoring.
A hurrying pedestrian paused re-
flectively, surveyed the fallen man
for a few seconds and then poked his
head in the door.
ooh, Frank" he called. Frank
Come out here minute"
Presently the proprietor of the
Joint, smoking a fat cigar, emerged
He blinked in the bright sunlight.
Hello, bud" he said pleasantly
whats up?"
Bud jerked his thumb toward the
slumberer on the sidewalk.

planned, and briskly resumed his walk

Buries Her Dog Amid Roses.

After the body of her pet bulldog
had lain in state in her home two
days Mrs. William E. Benton, widow
of wealthy restaurant proprietor or
Peoria, ILL.,, buried the animal to-day
with solemn funeral rites. The body
was placed in a costly coffin, lined
with satin, and was borne to the
grave by four pallbearers.
The coffin was covered with a
blanket of roses and when the grave
was filled in it was surmounted by a
pile of flowers. Mrs. Benton endea-
yored to obtain musicians to play a
dirge but her request met with re-
fusal. Every local bandmaster drew
.ae line at furnishing music for a
dogs funeral.-New York Press.

Taft Wants Crum Confirmed.

Washington, D. c., Jan 28.-The
senate committee on finance to-day
reported in favor of confirming the
reappointment of the negro, Crum, to
be collector of the port of Charles
ton. The name was sent in several
weeks ago and was held up by the
committee, which had about decided
to pigeonhole it along with other i'm
portant nominations made by Mr..
Roosevelt. Mr.. Roosevelt is the set
ting sun and holding up his nomi-
nations is one of the ways old enc
mics have of taking a whack at him.
But there is complication which
caused the committee to act to-day.
Mr.. Taft in one of his speeches has
expressed himself in favor of making
appointments in the South which
would have the sanction of the best
element of white people. But ne
does not want the question of ap-
pointing a negro put up to him so
so straight and so early in the game
so he has sent word to certain SEN
ators to hurry along the Crum contlr-
nation.
senator IlllHdn, Wuen dshoo "uo'
he was going to do about it, stated to-
night that he would fight the nomina-
tion if the people of Charleston give
him their support and furnish him
with data and so forth. He says he
held it up before for two years and
he ought to be able to hold it up now
for five weeks.
Mr.. Taft seems very much concern
ed about having these entanglements
removed before he comes into Office
and he wants Crum confirmed now SO
the responsibility will be taken off his
shoulders.

which reached port from the Orient late
yesterday. They stated that a dispute
over the supplanting of Englishmen Dy
Germans on the new Chinese railway
in northern China had resulted in the
refusal of British capitalists to ad-
vance further money, and in one or
two cases had resulted in a deadlock.
The Empress of India brought news
of an anti British boycott in HonOn
province. A British syndicate obtained
from the Chinese government con-
cessiOn to mine coal at HOnon, and pro-
ceeded to sink a deep shaft. When the
Chinese found that the English were
finding coal they at once instituted a
boycott. The government has been ap-
pealed to.

official reports Will not bear out the Sc

day. He says that the cOnstabulary
employed in different provinces are ma
tives of distant provinces, IL having
been demonstrated that owing to strons
tribal ties, the natives are useless when
employed against their own trIDesmen
The government tries, he says, 70

they are moved into distant provinces,

whole trouble. He says that outbreaks
Of this kind are not infrequent, though
never before has one assumed the Sc

He says that II Is probable that tn

started to run away. Whatever shOoJ-
ing occurred, he says, probably was the
result of opposition to their stampede.
