Dispensary Case Concluded.

Washington, March 1.-The dis
pensary hearing before the supreme
court was completed to-day, w. F.
Stevenson arguing for the State dis
pensary commission and T. NJ. Nor
decai in favor of sustaining the re-
ceivership appointed by Judge Pritch-
ard. Each one had one hour and
both went into exhaustive statements
about the dispensary commission and
it's status in the State, as determined
by law and by decisions of the State
supreme court.
A number of questions were asked
by various members of the court.
Justice White seemed especially in
terested in knowing whether the old
dispensary board had ever been sued
in court and whether it could have
been sued.
Mr.. Stevenson's argument was that
it could not in law be sued and point
ed out that Mr.. Mordecai's brief so
admitted.
It is believed that decision will
be reached in about month.

PAGEANT HELD AT NORFOLK.
Soldiers, Sailors and Civil War Vet.
Grams in Great Parade.

Fort Monroe, Feb. 27.-Thirty-
two companies of blue jackets, form
ing a fleet brigade Of 1000 men,
were brought to Norfolk to-day
where the sailors made their first ap-
pearance in a parade at home after
the notable voyage around the
world.
Eight companies of coast artillery
from Fort Monroe accompanied the
sailors to Norfolk, where they were
joined by additional companies of blue
jackets from the Norfolk navy yard,
by regiment of the National Guard
and by various other organizations
that helped to form the greatest
martial event Norfolk has known in
recent years.
Veterans of both the Union anG
Confederate armies were brought to"
gether in the parade and in the re-
viewing stand, forming Court OF
Honor" through which the soldiers
and sailors passed.
In traversing Main street the sail
ors and their escorts passed through
a Gordon of honor in front of the re-
viewing stand, composed of hundreds
of veterans of both the Confederate
and Union armies. The blue jackets
made a splendid showing in spite Of
their long stay on board the ship.

With the Newspapers.

1t is announced that the Daily
Record of Columbia has changed
hands, it's founder and owner, Geo
R. Koester, having sold his interest
to Jas. A. Hoyt. 1t was the inten-
tion of Mr.. Hoyt to start an after
noon paper in Columbia, and his pur-
chase of the Record prevents a news
paper war. The transfer took place
Monday, Mr.. Hoyt being the new edi-
tor. This was very good arrange
ment, and no doubt Mr.. Koester is
glad to get out of the daily grind
and hard work of newspaper.
The Colleton News has been reor-
ganized, and the editor, Mr.. Jno. w.
Hammond, states that he has taken
over the controlling interest in the
newspaper. He states that he will
hereafter issue the paper once a
week, which is wise move on his
part. We had no idea that the semi
weekly would last, especially at one
dollar year.
The Hampton Guardian comes to
us this week printed in its. own office,
for the first time since the fire which
destroyed it's plant some months ago.
Since that time. the paper has been
printed elsewhere. = .,...

Found Guilty of Murder.

Decatur, Ala, March 1.-The jury
in the case of Bob Clements, for the
murder of the Edmondson family OF
five members, tonight found the
prisoner guilty of murder in the first
degree, and fixed his sentence at life
imprisonment.
Clements was charged with the
murder of Tom Edmondson, and Ed
mondson's wife, mother and two chill
dren, last November, near Woodland
mills, in this county. After the fam
lily had ben murdered their bodies
were placed in the barn and the fol-
lowing night the barn was set on fire
only few bones remaining to tell OF
the gruesome tragedy.
Clements had been in the employ
of Edmondson and it was brought
out that Edmondson came home and
found Clements talking to Mrs. Ed
mondson, and the suposition is that
Edmondson threatened his life, and
that Clements killed him and then
killed other members of the family
to hide the crime.
Clements chewed gum while the
verdict was read. An appeal will be
taken.

LIFE ATTEMPTED.
At Hotel Genesta Prominent Contrac-
tor Shoots Himself.

J. F. Ong, a well known South Car
Gilman, and a contractor, attempted
suicide Thursday afternoon at 4:30
o'clock in his room at the Genesta
Hotel in Augusta. Ong fired three
shots from a .32-calibre revolver
into his head, and face, but none of
them penetrated the brain. He will
recover.
DR.. Thomas D. Coleman was the
physician who attended Ong soon aft
er he was shot and had him carried
to the hospital, where he is resting
we'll.
The hotel officials were alarmed
Thursday afternoon by the firing OF
five shots in rapid succession and a
search was begun at once to locate
After search lasting for two or
three minutes they went to Ong's
room, where he was found lying
across the bed with pool of blood
near him.
Police headquarters were notified
at once and Lieutenant Hatcher and
Sergeant Grubbs went to the scene
at once. To the officers Ong stated
that the shooting was done for the
purpose of taking his own life, as he
was blue, and had been sick for a
couple of weeks, and besides was
worried about his business affairs.
One of the bullets struck the top
of the wounded mans head, but did
not penetrate the skull as it was a
glancing shot, another bullet entered
the left cheek and caused the great
flow of blood, a third shot the tip of
his nose off and still another grazed
his lower lip. The city hospital au-
thorities say that Ong is expected to
recover rapidly.
Ong is we'll known in Aiken, and
is at present constructing court
house at Manning for the Woodward
Lumber Company. He was the con-
tractor for the Park-in-the-Pines
Hotel and has a good reputation as a
contractor. He is man apparently
about forty years of age, and has a
wife in Columbia, where he lives.
1t is stated that Mr.. Ong is recov-
ering rapidly.

In addition to stopping trains from
running so fast through town, city
council should also put stop to the
practice freight engineers have of
Kicking" cars down grade on the
mill siding. Often cars are kicked
across the street by DR.. Blacks resi-
dence at a speed of fifteen miles an
hour, which is very dangerous, as
there is no engine attached nor no
way to stop them in case some We
hicle was at the crossing. We trust
our officials will look into this matter
and put a stop to it, for it is likely
to cause a serious accident at this
crossing.

SNEEZE RESTORES SENSES.
Physicians Say This Loosens Blood
Clots and Saves Boys Life.

New York, Feb. 27.-Wilbert
Healy, a seventeen-year-old boy, OF
Bloomfield, N. j., sneezed violently
yesterday evening and regained con-
sciousness after being in ten-day
trance.
He was injured in basket ball
game ten days ago, and after return
ing home lost consciousness and was
kept alive only by the use of liquid
foods, forced between his clenched
teeth.
1t is the belief of physicians that
his sneezing loosened blood clot On
the,brain and that he will recover.
He was conscious to-day and appar-
emily improving rapidly. Dust from
sofa cushion evidently caused him
to sneeze, although he was uncon-
scious at the time.

The legislature simply marched up
the hill and then marched down
again on the prohibition question.
The people demanded State prohibi-
ton, and a bill providing for this
passed the house by a large majority,
but the Senate refused to pass the
bill providing for prohibition
throughout the State or even to sub
NIT the question to vote of the
whole State. Instead, bill provid-
ing for elections in counties which
now have dispensaries was passed,
which does not settle the matter at
all. We do. not believe in local op-
tion. We should have general law
for the whole State, and it. is not to
be supposed that the people of any
county will vote out the sale of Ii
quor when whiskey is being sold in
adjoining counties, for then they
would get all of the evils and none
of the revenue. We prefer clear-cut,
unequivocal action, and we would
have preferred that nothing at all
had been done rather than to have
this election foolishness thrust on us.
Well have whole lot of stir-up and
excitement this summer, and nothing
will be accomplished, for no one will
pretend to say that these elections
will settle the question. Neither the
prohibitionists nor anti-prohibition-
lists have gained anything, and the
elections will cost lot of money and
serve no good purpose. We expect a
repetition of the fight at the next ses-
sion of the general assembly. ="

1t is a pleasure to note that the
best bill passed by the recent session
of the legislature was introduced by
Hon. c.. w. Garris, of this county.
The provisions of the bill are well ex-
planned in an editorial published in
this issue, taken from the Columbia
State. The bill of Mr.. Garris will be
of great benefit to the country
schools, and will do much to stimu-
late interest in education.

CRUM RESIGNS.
NEGRO Collector of Port in Charleston
. Steps Down and Out.

Charleston, S. c., March 1.-With
the resignation of William D. Crum
az collector of customs at this port
the resignation to take effect March
4, a situation which threatened to
cause President-elect Taft consider
able embarrassment is avoided. Nc
appointment made by President
Roosevelt during either of his admin
istrations has given rise to as much
discussion as that of Crum, whose
appointment as collector at Charles
ton was vigorously opposed because
of the fact that he is a negro. A
long and hard fight against his con-
frmation was made by Senator Till
man and others when he was first
named for the position by President
Roosevelt in 1908 and within the last
few weeks, following his reappoint-
ment, Senator Tillman conducted
successful filibuster against, his con-
frmation by the senate.
Crum says that no pressure has
been brought to bear upon him now
to cause him to resign, but that he
does so in part because he wishes to
tains great respect, from any possible
embarrassment as to his reappoint-
ment, and chiefly because he feels
that he has been especially identified
with President Roosevelt's andminis-
tration and he wishes to retire with
his chief In his letter to President
Roosevelt, after thanking the presi-
dent for appointing him six years ago
and for renominating him recently
for second term, he says:
Crum's Statement.
"Since assuming the duties of this
position I have striven diligently to
justify the confidence imposed in me.
During all these years, so far as |
know, not single charge has been
brought against my moral character
or a single adverse criticism made. in
regard to the performance of my Of
fetal duties. l wish further to add
that those employed. in this office un-
der me, composed of both races, have
been at all times couTteous, kind and
interested, and we have all worked
together to make the Office work sue
cessful and satisfactory.
when l became collector of the
port the annual receipts of the office
were scarcely $4,000. I am glad to
say that they have shown a aattering
increase each year, the total for the
fiscal year 1908 being almost $71,-
900, and for the first eight months
of the present fiscal year are more
than $4,000. | do not claim credit
for this increase in business; much
of it would:2ha been brought about
through the natural growth of the
port, but cite these facts to show
that | have striven in every way pos
sible to increase the usefulness of the
office and the position which l hold.
Before closing l feel that should
add that during all these years l
have been treated with kindness and
courtesy by all those who have had
official business with the office, and
have not had unpleasant contact with
any one ir the city.
In conclusion permit me to thank
you again for the trust imposed, and
to wish you, as you end your Official
career, hearty godspeed and long
life"

No Statement Made.

Washington, March 1.-W. D.
Crum's resignation did not reach the
White House to-day and no state
ment was given out there in regard
to the matter. Secretary of the
Treasury Cortelyou, when informed
tonight of the resignation, said ii
was the first he had heard of it and
declared that if Crum's successor is
not appointed before his resignation
becomes effective, the special deputy
collector CT the port will fill the place
temporarily.

Is it reasonable to suppose that
Bamberg county people will vote out
the dispensaries if Orangeburg,
Barnwell, and Colleton-counties all
around us-retain them? And vice
versa will not these counties vote
wet" under the supposition that
counties adjoining will do the same?
It is very much like this matter of
reducing the cotton acreage.

WOMAN CATCHES BURGLAR.
Prisoner Shows no Concern in Tell
ing Police He is Criminal.

New York, Feb. 27.AMrs. Carrie
Rooney, returning from the theatre
late last night, gave chase to a man
whom she saw in the dining room OF
her home, grappled with him and
screamed and held him until po-
liceman arrived.
Taken to a police station, the man
showed little concern and said tha:
he was a burglar by profession. He
volunteered this information after
being asked the regulation questions
by the police lieutenant.
"Why do you ask me what l work
at? You know I'm a burglar. That's
my trade" answered the man.
A quantity of jewelry was found
on the man, which. was identified by
Mrs. Rooney as her property.

After an Accredited High School.

Messrs. L, E. Robinson, w. B.
Gabbert and ]. M. Booze went to
Alexandria Thursday to meet the
state superintendent and his staff, to
secure, if poss ible, the privilege OF
the Welsh school an accredit.
ed high school.
The project of securing a high
school for this place has been on foot
for some time, but up to the pres emit,
there seems to have been no way open
to do this, except by the deciding OF
the school property here to the parish.
There are many in Welsh who are
averse to doing this and for this
reason the proposition has failed
OF accomplishment so far. 1t is
the hope Of the gentlemen now in
kerested in the matter, that it may be
satisfactorily arranged, whereby we
may secure the high school.
