For Violating pispensary Law.

arrested G.. C. Dees in Yorkville,
charged with violating the dispensary
law. Dees operates q store at the
Manchester mill in Rock Hill. Sheriff
Brown and Magistrate Glenn seized
fhnK hak - To-
ginger at his store yesterday. II ap-
pears that the proprietor was not at
his place Of business when the
beverage was seized but had come to
Yorkville on business and Deputy
Quinn was notified to make the ar
rest. Dees was arrested on a warrant
charged with violation Of the dispen-
sary law in three cases and also with
storing alcoholic beverages. He gave
bond in the sum Of $1,000. It is al
legged that a white man, Jim Neal by
name, purchased some Of this ginger
from Dees's store Sunday and after
drinking a goodly portion Of it, was
rendered desperately Ill. He had not
recovered from its effects last even
ing and physicians fear that he will
die.
Fort Mill Farmers Seek Market.
For several years past a number Of
the more progressive farmers in this
community have been getting away
from cotton and devoting their lands
and their energies to more diversi-
fled crops from which they expect to
gain more profit and satisfaction than
from the growing Of cotton, says a
Fort Mill dispatch. However, they did
not expect that their efforts would be
so successful and the crops so abun-
dant that they might have some
trouble in marketing their surplus
and hence have done little toward Sc
curing markets in advance. In con-
sequence they find their fields and
barns filled with the choicest alfalfa
and crimson clover hay, while there
will also be a surplus Of oats. OF
course there are plenty Of people
throughout the state who want these
farm products just as badly as the
farmers here want to sell them and II
only remains for them to get together.
The efforts being made by E. ]. Wat
son, commissioner Of agriculture, to-
ward this end will probably be pro-
ductive Of good results to both buyer
and seller.
