Early morning visitors to the dispensaries were disappointed. Saturday is the day when liquor is sold in large quantities and the thirsty knocked in vain at the doors on which a notice had been piac'ed. At a meeting of the board of control last Tuesday, two new members recently commissioned by Governor Manning and a hold-over, a complete1 change of dispensary employees was made, only two of the old clerks being retained.
This action on the part of the new board is resented by men who have lost their positions and the closing of Aiken dispensaries resulted from the refusal of a clerk to name a day when he would check up. There is a doubt in the minds of the employees as to whether the action of the new board is legal, although the governor has issued commissions to the new employees.
The Aiken county delegation named two members of the board of control, but one of them resigned? Livingston, of the Kitchings Mill section, has been named by the majority of the Aiken county members in the general assembly and the governor asked to commission him. The action of the mayor in closing the dispensaries is strictly within his legal rights, and as to how long a time the order will remain in force 1 depends upon the action of the governor and the head of the city.
Edgefield, April ? Two white men who gave their names as Smith and Frish, were captured by Magistrate Hamilton, of Greenwood coun-j ty, and a posse comitatus near Trenton Friday afternoon and brought to Edgefield and lodged in jail. They were charged with stealing two horses from Mr. Butler, of Saluda county, last Thursday night. Soon after the alleged theft they started for the State of Georgia, but were overtaken a few miles south of Trenton, and on seeing their pursuers, it is said, they abandoned the horses and took to a nearby swamp, where they stood neck deep in water and defied their would-be captors.
They were warned that unless they came forward and surrendered force would be used, and finally they submitted to arrest. The horses, said to be unusually fine animals, were found nearby and taken into custody and they with the prisoners were carried to Greenwood county yesterday. Meeting at Greenwood a Success in Every Way. The State Medical association adjourned to night, after what the doctors in attendance say has been one of the most successful meetings in the history of the association.
