Other Matters Relating to Dis pensary in Charleston. Columbia Cor. News and Courier.] Vineent Chicco, of Charleston, came to. Calumbia last Wednesday to consult with the Governor over the blind tiger situation. Chicco has been raided so often that he thinks he has been specially singled out for persecution ou the part of the con. stables and he seemed to make com 'iplaint-in that regard. However, his /main point evidently was to convince the Governor that disaster would re. 11suit if he insisted on the strict en forcement. of t,he law. It was some 'what of an anomalous conference-a leading and acknowledged blind tiger dealer pleading for a compro mise -but the Governor was rather glad to meet him, as he considerel him somewhat of a representative of the business in Charleston, and he desired to have all illicit dealers to understand his position thoroughly and unmistakably. Chicco evidently thought it was in the power of the Governor to compromise the matter, Sfor he said that he and many of the dealers would be utterly ruined if they were forced ont of the business. SThe Governor talked very plainly to him and told him that he would be compelled to enforce the law, and ad vised Chicco and all others in his Sposition to close up at once He .told him plainly that there could(1be no compromise with the open1 or se cret sale of liquor. Chicco said he wanted to get out of the business, but seemed to think if he could sell "on the quiet" it would be all right, but, of course, such a prop)ositionl, if it had been1 directly made, would not Shave been entertained for a moment. Although Ohicco pretended that be was on the verge of roin), he ap peared very cheer ful, and when int ro duced to Chief Constable Hammett said he was glad to meeit him and asked him pleasantly to call wvhen he came to Charleston. Chief of Police Boyle had a very pleasant interview today with G*ov ernor Heyward. Mayor Smyth and Chief Boyle had a conference rela tive to the dispensary situation in Charleston, and it was thought well that Chief B3oyle-should c3me to Co lumbia and make the police depart ment thoroughly understood. Chief Boyle had a letter from Mayor Smyth and said, by way of preface, that he wished to discuss the matter without feeling or per sonalities, and that he had no pur pose to criticise anyone and would not do so. He wished for tihe police depart ment, as Mayor Smyth had pre viously done, to assure the Governor 'of the co operation of the police de partment ini the effort to enforce the disnensary law in Charleston, and to IMNAl lAIN into Newberry is I its' Furnishings and Sh Arrounding country to h ace in this column. tart the shot, 34c. and rorth roc. all over town, Ioo pcs shirt i6 in. wide, the 12%c. kind your cl ne yd. or a thousand yds. u worth roc. and 12%11 c. 50 pcs.

Under the opinion of the corpora tion counsel the police have no right to enter a man's store or place of business and make arrests without a warrant, while the constables have. A constable, however, could make the arrest and take the prisoner out on the street and the police would co-operate and take charge of the prisoner. The opinion is that the police, however, have no right to enter a store to make an arrest, but the officer would be in duty bound to take charge of the prisoner when turned over to him. Chief Boyle emphasized the fact that there was no friction between the police and the constables in Charleston. Chief Boyle stated that the main purpose of his visit was to assure Governor Heyward that it was the purpose and the desire of Mayor Smyth and the police department to assist in every way possible and to co-operate fully in the enforcement of the dispensary law. Governor Heyward stated that he was glad Chief Boyle called upon him and delighted to have the assur ance of the police dlepartment and Mayor of Charleston that it is in tended to co operate in every way possible in the enforcement of the dispensariy law in Charleston. CIHICCO COMES HOME. [News and Courier.] Vincent Chic.-o, wvho went to Co lumbia to have a talk with the Gov ernor about the b)linld tiger situation, has returned to Charleston. Yester day he consented to tell what, hap pened when he braced the Governor. Acco-ding to Chico the interview was in part as follows: "Now, Governor," said Chicco, "you're a genitlemian; aill the Hey. wards are gentlemian. And i'm a gentleinian, anrd all the Chiccos are gentlemen. Governor, tell mue what, are you going to do about this matter ?" "T here is but one thing to be (lone, Chiic,co,'' the Governor replied in positive tones, "you'll have to quit this business. It is my duty to en force t he dispe*nsary law.'' "unt, Governor, I've got a wife and niany children. I have to supJ port them. I've got to miake a liv. ing; that's the proposition I'm up against." "Well, you will have to close your establishment, Chicco, unless you can make a living without breaking the law. Promise me you'll cease vio. lating the dispensary law. "Governor, I've just told you I'm a gentleman, and if 1 was to make that promise P'd break it, and then I'd be a liar. And no gentleman is a liar. "Very well, Chicco,'' replied the Governor, decidedly, "you've go to UH'S oaded down with new g oes carefully selected b elp us to reduce this gre IS THE K] 5c to go on sale tomorrow mor-uing f White Mercerized Damask, the lat waist, no two patterns alike, worth toice at Mitmnaugh's 25c. yd.

"I can't give up my business, Gov ernor; I've got. to make a living and I don't know how to do anything else." "All right, Ohicco; you and the constables can settle that." SuddenlyChicco's face lighted with hope. "Governor," he whispered, "I've got a proposition to make to you." "What is it, Chicco?" "I'll quit the blind tiger business if you'll appoint me a member of the board of control." What the Governor said Chicco refused to divulge. RACE CONVENTION. How Georgia Regards the Propost tion. The Idea Probably Abandoned. [Atlanta Constitution.] Governor Terrell has as yet re ceived no word from the governor of Wisconsin relative to the appoint. ment of delegates to a convention proposed to be held in Atlanta for the discussion and settlement of the race problem. So far as is known not one of the Southern governors has received any communication b)earing upon this in teresting proposition which emnat ed from the Wisconsin senate. Governor Terrell's views with re gard to the matter are wvell known In his recent speech before the Geor gia Society of New York he advocat ed a cessation of discussion of the negro question as the best solution of the matter. The governor's views as expressed on that occasion have been generally and favorably com monted upon all over the country. While lhe hais not expressed him self upon the subject, those who know his views say Governor Terrell would tako no part in such a movement, anid would not name delegates from Georgia to attend such a conven tion. "The indications are", said a promi. nont Georgian at the capitol yester (day, "that reports sent back to Wis consin about the way the proposition of the Wisconsin senate was received in the South have thrown a deal of cold1 water on the scheme, and I would not 1)e surprised to see the coniven tion dropped. I do not believe the southern states would take part in any such plan, and, as usual, it would be entirely a one sided affair. "I am glad to see that the Tenines see legislature has taken notice of the matter in it.s resolution requiring the governor of that state to decline 60) appoint (degatoes to attend the p)roposed1 negro convention. I don't believe the governor of Tennessee wvould have done sio under any cir cumiatances, b)ut it is interesting to note the sentiment of the T1ennessee legislat.nre on the subject." irst Dods for this great store y our expert buyer in th at 'stock and increase tN IND OF S or ioc. yd. ro pcs. 36 in.
