MEMBERS OF COMMISSION.
Messrs. A. n. Wood and j. S. Brice
Were Appointed.

Mr.. A. N. Wood, of Gaffney, and
Mr.. J. Steele Brice, of York, have
been appointed by Gov. Ansel on the
dispensary winding up commission to
succeed Messsrs. C. K. Henderson, of
Aiken, and B. F. Arthur, Of Union,
resigned. This makes the commits
sion now complete, the following be-
ing the members: W. J. Murray, Co
lumbia, chairman; John McSween,
Timmonsville, secretary; Avery Pat
ton, Greenville; A. N. Wood, Gaf-
ney; J. s. Brice, York. 1t will be re-
called that Messrs. Arthur and Hen
derson resigned from the commission
to become receivers under the ap-
pointment of Judge Pritchard before
the State won in its claims for con-
troll of the State dispensary fund.
Mr.. Brice Is well known through
out the State, being former senator
from York. He has taken a promi-
nent part in public affairs for num-
Der of years. He was the author of
the noted "Brice bill," which was the
first step in the destruction Of the
State dispensary. This bill allowed
the counties the opportunity OF
voting out the dispensary and it was
only passed after bitter opposition on
the part Of the supporters Of the
State dispensary. Mr.. Brice is a pro-
hibitionist.
Mr.. Wood has resided in Gaffney
since 1875, where he went from Ala
bama to engage in the mercantile
business and is very prominent man
in Gaffney, being regarded as one OF
the leading citizens of the town. He
has had quite extended interests in
banking and manufacturing estab-
lishments. He saw service in the
Confederate army and has always
taken active interest in reunion
work.
These two appointments are re-
garded as satisfactory, both Of the
commissioners being sound business
men such as are needed in the work
of winding pp the affairs OF the old
State dispensary.
Last Friday conference was held
between attorneys for the dispen-
sary commission, the attorney gen.
eral and the old members of the
commission. It was decided after a
general discussion of the situation
to make no move until the mandate
Of the supreme court had been re-
ceived. This will be official notice
that the court has upheld the State
in it's contention and after that the
reorganized commission will meet
and arrange a roster of the cases to
be heard.

gress who passed the tariff bill and
upon the president. who signed II, IN
that contest | know of but one way to
treat them, and that is to fight them
Just as we fight Mr.. Bryan and his
following"
Such was the declaration OF Speaker
Cannon, who delivered the principal
address before the Knife and Fork
club here. Mr.. Cannon said Senator
Cummins alone had read himself out
of the Republican party. He defend
ed the rules of the house saying they
will remain substantially as they have
congress. Ever since history began
said the speaker, "the man in the
minority has been seeking some de.
vice by which he could overcome the
will of the majority"
Mr.. Cannon asserted that while the
Payne tariff law is not perfect it is
the best one ever passed under Re-
publican leadership, that since the en-
actment of the new law, production in
this country and imports from foreign
countries have greatly increased, and
day by day conditions are improving.
The 'insurgents' and their followers
he said, are seeking to hinder the pro-
gress of prosperity by criticism and
denunciation and this. too within
three months of the enactment of the
tariff law. Only such agitation can
halt the prospective era OF prosperity.
said the speaker
Continuing Mr.. Cannon said: The
demagOgue we have always with us,
and as ours is government of the
people, the only way to dispose of him
is to move on. | am perfectly willing
to trust the verdict of prosperous
and happy people in the elections in
November, 1910, after the new tariff
law has been in operation for over a
year"

that is characteristic OF German re-

take the place of cotton no effect will

of kopOk can be established. Cotton
