AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY.
To Employ YOurself-Supreme Court
Hands Down Decision in Con-

Special to The Herald and News.
Columbia, March 27.-The supreme
court today handed down decision
in the Injunction proceeding brought
some time ago against H. w. Richard
son and F. W. P. Butler in the matter
of drawing salaries while members OF
the Confederate Home board. Maj.
Richardson, member or the board,
was drawing a hundred dollars a
month as chairman and treasurer of
the home and DR.. Butler, a member
of the board, fifty dollars a month as
physician to the home.
The supreme court holds they may
be paid for services already render
ed, but directs the circuit court to
make permanent the injunction to pro-
hibit them drawing salaries in the fu-
ture. on the ground that it is against
public policy for a public official to
employ himself.

so ingenious, SO naive in his humor,
so intensely interesting all the way
through, that he captivated his aud

them through to the end without a

close his lecture, there were many
calls from the great audience to keep
on. All who heard him this evening
will hear him tomorrow evening, and

DAYTON, OHIO, COVERED WlTl
FORTY FEET OF WATER.
Storms and Downpour of Rain Fol-
lowed by More Serious Holocaust
Caused by Flooded River.

News from burdened and failing
wires Friday gave to the world ac'
counts of one of the worst holocaust
in the history of Ameri"a's ever re-
current floods. From Dayton ano
Hamilton, Ohio, and from Peru and
Delaware, Ind, came the most dis
tressing tidings, telling of estimates
of loss of life aggregating thousands
From Delaware came the story OF the
loss of Is lives, according to the es-
innate of the police. The loss OF
property in the flooded district IS al
most inconceivable, if reports are
true. Dayton is said to have been COW
cred with water to a depth OF some
30 or 40 feet, while advices as to the
losses of life at Dayton placed the
number all the way from so, Wnlcn
was the figure given by the railroad
Offices. in Cincinnati, to 5000, which
was the aggregate of unconfrmed re-
ports to the mayor of Dayton. The
dead may number thousands before
the count OF The fearful toll is COM
plete. The most reliable estimates
restricted the death roll to less than
100 in Dayton.
Peru reported the loss OF 25O lives
but confirmation of this could not be
obtained.
The alarming reports from Hannil-
ton an estimate of 1000 drowned,
were based on rumors that the reser-
voirs had broken, but there was no
confirmation and there can be none
until the mantle of darknes it lift
ed.
Whatever be the loss of life and
whatever the loss of property, even
early reports are sufficient to show
that the floods have been of terrific
potency for harm,

S. C-Gentlemen: 1 wish to request
you--I feel that it is hardly necessary,
knowing you so we'll and believing
that you are doing what you can to
enforce the law-but 1 wish to i'm
press upon you to enforce the dispen-
sary law, and particularly to see that
those who do sell illegally, all the
clubs in your city, especially, are fore
ed to buy their beer and whiskey from
the dispensaries. Every club in your
city where persons are permitted 10
gather together to use intoxicating
drinks Is an illegal place, and it Is
wrong to have such places; but If it
is impossible to close them up, surely
they should be willing to buy from
the dispensaries, in order to give the
profit to their home people, giving the
children the benent OF lneSe pfoulo
for educational purposes, and the
county for better roads. Please get
busy ard get in behind theee maIrs>'s.
Close up the blind tigers if you can'
and make those who will run, and that
you can't close up, buy from the dis
pensaries. Seize every drop of whis-
key that is shipped into this city
marked to any club, and every cask OF
beer marked to any club. If it is
marked to q member of the club and
delivered at the club house, seize it.
Either make them buy from the dis
pensaries or have no liquor.
These orders are positive and must
be obeyed.
Very respectfully,
