The Finger of Scorn.

The repetition of The Finger
of Scorn by the Arnett Dramatic
Club at Masonic Hall last Mon
day night, proved to be of inter
est from the start. The dramatis
personae as printed IN The Forum
last week. showed adroitly tnat
they had attended rehearsals.
The most histronic ability
perhaps-was shown in the
characters represented by Miss
Grace J. Nelson, Mrs. Warrick,
Misses Laura Wilson and Maud
Nelson. We actually felt sorry
for the torture heaped upon
Irene by that persistent gossip,
Mrs. Plckens, but it only showed
the busy dressm aker S ability as
an actress. and it was highly ap-
preciated. Mrs. Warrck's man
nerisms, her sinister smile under

she only surmised, tended to
show her versatility,

when abiding under pleasant Cir

was "a strong part, but was
strongly played. Her love for a
guilty parent. her knack of win.

those with whom she came in con-

Aunt Bina, as portrayed by
Miss Maud Nelson, was Iudri-
crous parsonage. Her makeup,
outlandish dress, bandana and
the lower appendages, coupled
with her antics, made her a
source of righteousness not seen
off the professional boards.

JUDGE WINGARD DEAD.
One of Lexngton's Foremost Citi-
zens Goes to His Reward.

Lexington. June 22.-Surroundet
i by his loved ones in his quiet home a
s 'clock this morning, the Hon. Sim
on P. Wingard peacefully passet
away. For weeks past his condition
has been critical, but few were pre-
pared for the announcement Of his
death. Heart trouble is assigned as
the cause Of death.
Judge Wingard has been for many
years prominent in the affairs Of the
county, and it is safe to say that no
man has ever been held in higher es-
TEEN. He has filed various Offices of
honor and trust, and filed them cred
itably.
His political career began before
the war, when he was elected sheriff.
This office he filled for four years.
During the war he was elected clerk
of the court for one term. Soon at
ter the war he was chosen judge OF
probate, and this office he filled tor
about sixteen years. In 1884, he was
elected to the State senate, and serv-
ed with credit to himself and to his
county, for four years. Retiring from
public life, he continued to take an
active interest in the affairs Of the
county. and on more than one occa-
sion has his wise counsel been sought.
Judge Wingard was married IN ear
ly life to Miss Mariah Wingard, his
first cousin, and a woman Of many no
BILE traits of character. To them were
born two sons and two daughters. The
following children survive: DR.. Jas. }.
Wingard, one Of the most prominent
and popular physicians in the county,
Mrs. H. L. Oswald, and Miss Mary C..
Wingard.
Judge Wingard Was member OF
the Lutheran church, having joined
when quite young. He was active in
all church works, and many Of has
acts will live after him. He was 80
years of age on the 23rd of last Feb
ruary. He was Confederate SOL
dier and fought with valor for the
cause which he thought to be right.
Funeral services will be conducted
from St. Stephens Lutheran church
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock by
the Rev. T. S. Brown, and the inter
ment will be nthe church cemetery.

Glider & Weeks Guarantee to Cure
Dyspepsia.-If They Fail, The
Medicine Costs Nothing.

To unquestionably prove to the
people of Newberry that indigestion
and dyspepsia is durable and that
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will effect
the cure, we will furnish the medl-
cine absolutely flee if it fails to give
complete satisfaction to anyone Civ
ing it a trial.
The remarkable success Of Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets is largely due to
the new and successful method of
manufacture, whereby the we'll
known properties Of Bismuth, Subni-
trate and Pepsin have been combined
with carminatives and their agents.
Bismuth Subnitrate and Pepsin are
recognized by the entire medical pro-
fession as specifies for acute indiges-
tion and dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used in Rexall Dyspep-
sian Tablets is manufactured by a
new process which develops its great
est efficiency. Pepsin supplies to the
digestive apparatus one of the most
important elements Of the digestive
fluid, and exerts tonic influence up
on all the glands which supply all the
other elements necessary to proper
assimilation and digestion.
The perfect combination Of these
ingredients make remedy absolute
ly Incompatible and invaluable for
the complete cure Of indigestion and
dyspepsia.

that we sell Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets

sEABoARD ACQUIRES G. & L.
Line Running From Cheraw to
Crowberg Changes Hands.

Cheraw, June 21.-Today the Sea-
board Air Line bought the controlling
interest in the Chesterfield and Lam
caster railroad. The negotiations were
conducted by Judge Watts, general
counsel for the Seaboard, through the
Bank of Cheraw. There will be no
present change in the local manage
ment Of the latter road.
The Chesterfield and Lancaster rail
road was constructed in 1901, and
runs westward from Cheraw to Crow
berg, forty miles away. It practically
traverses the best part Of Chesterfield
county, and has, since its construc-
ton, done a large business. The road
was constructed by Messrs. Page, who
own much more than the controlling
stock, the county Of Chesterfield own
ing some, and the small balance by
out-of-town fnanciers. The transfer
of stock to the Seaboard means much
for the country the road traverses, for
in all probability the rolling stock
will be greatly improved, the roadbed
made much better and the road will
be operated under the system now in
use on We Seaboard. T&e Chesterfield
and Lancaster road has for its termi-
nus Crovberg, about thirty miles
from Charlotte. It is believed that
the road will now be extended to
Charlotte.

DIR. CROMER IN GEORGETOWN
Addresses Large Audience on Liquor
Question.-Strong Address.

GEORGETOWN, June 22.-The prohl-
bioion cohorts are becoming more and
more active in this county. Respond
ing to call from prominent citizens,
the Hon. George B. Cromer, the we'll
known educator and lawyer of New
berry, addressed gatherings here on
Thursday and presented the subject
in a sane and conservative way,
which probably reached many who
had stood aloof from the prohibition
forces by reason Of their extreme
views with regard to the liquor ques-
tion.
Mr.. Cromer's speech in the morn
ing was delivered in the court house
at noon, the court, which was in ses-
sion, having allowed an interim for
the purpose of hearing the. dlstln-
guished speaker He was introduced
by the Rev. W. H. Hodges in few

Cromer spoke to much larger gath

occasion could have left without be-
ing influenced strongly in the matter
of prohibition as help to BETTE
things in every line Of human affairs.
He said he was happy to meet the
whiskey sellers of Georgetown face
to face, for they were such as long as
the dispensary existed in the commun-
ity. He told Of the good results that
had come to pass as the result Of pro-
hibition in his county. He said he
was in this fight for the good Of hu-
manity. No political Office could be
given him, for, though handed to him
on silver salver; it would have no
attraction, whatever. Whiskey in its

DISPENsARY FUNDS MOVED
$150,000 Taken From Columbia Banks
And Deposited Elsewhere.

Greenville, June 22.-The dispen,
sary commission has taken some OF
the dispensary funds from the banks
in Columbia, and have placed them
with other banks throughout the
State. This was done at the last ses-
sion of the commission.
This morning in an interview with
a representative Of the News and
Courier, Mr.. Patton said:
"We moved about $150,O00 from
Columbia banks and redeposited in
other banks in the State for the very
good reason that Columbia, including
the amount in the State treasury, had
about $350,000, which is considerably
more than half the entire fund. Since
they are State, and not Columbia
funds, and since banks in other parts
of the State wished it, and we're will
ing to pay interest and put up the COL
lateral, We felt justified in moving a
minority of the amount deposited in
Columbia. After this removal is COM
pleted Columbia will still have (in-
cluding the amount in the State treas
ury,) more than one-third Of the en-
tire fund, which we still think, is the
lions share. We had reason to be-
heve that the banks Of Columbia, or
a part of them, did not want the
funds since they regarded it bur-
den, (while tied up in the United
States eourt,) to the extent that they
did not want to pay interest on the
funds, If these funds were so bur-
'densome to the Columbia banks, while
they were tied up with injunctions, We
feel that we ought not to burden them
further since we are at liberty to re-
move them. There were two dellber
ate attempts by some Of the banks OF
Columbia to avoid payment Of this in
terest, although We had their written
agreement to do so. An officer Of the
Loan and Exchange bank made an
effort to get the banks Of Grenville
holding these funds to join them IN an
effort to avoid the payment of this IN
terest, which the banks here flatly
refused to do.
"I notice in the morning papers
that DR.. Murray refused to allow the
resolution passed. by the commission
on Saturday to remove these funds
published. I see no reason why 1t
should not be published, as there was
no secret about it,
twenty-five thousand dollars will
be brought to the Greenville banks,
divided between the Norwood Nation
al, the Farmers and Merchants, and
the Fourth National banks. The
Peoples Bank and the City National
already had deposits. The other banks
did not make application for the
funds.
Greenville will get about $4,000 OF
the funds divided among the banks
named above. spartanburg, Ander-
son and the other cities Of the State
will receive their share. In Charles
ton there is already some of the fund
on deposit, and this will not be IN
creased by this new apportionment,
because Of the fact that application
was not made for it.
