Revenue Outragea In Edgeaeld.

Awriter in the Edgefeld Chronicle thus
shows up some of the disreputable prac.
tices Of the United States Deputy Mar
shals in chat County
ri have been reading your piece in re.
gard to the administration of the internal
revenue laws in NdgehTd County, and |
am glad that some one has taken up the
cudgels against those officials, who are
prostituting their Office that they may
replenish thoir private purses. I hope
their nefarious conduct will be fully ex.
posed, and to help do this will relate
two cases that came under my own per-
sonal observation. The FIRST caseis we'll
known to various parties {white) in our
locality. Awhile man who had sold more
whisky than the negro whom he prosecut.
ed had ever owned, in company with 8
United States Deputy Marshal, went to q
negro gathering. The Deputy Marshal
pretended TO be book agent. After
taking q good many orders for his books,
he told the negroes that was noW bis
treat, and if any of them had sohe whisky
he would buy il and treat the crowd.
The negroes, knowing the white man who
Was with their Deputy Marshal and being
unsuspecting, produced about one. half
a pint Of whisky and sold it to them.
Now this negro who sold them the whisky
had actually acted asthe clerk Of this
same white man in former transactions
:of ths:same character. This negro was
prosecuted and putin Fdgefeld Jail for
three months and fined Sl00.
The second case is worse. A white
man was prosecuted by negroes fof selling
whisky, and came clear, although it is q
well known fact that he had been selling
whisky regularly for several years. After
coming clear, Lei rosecuted these me-
groes for perjury. Their fate will be de.
cided at thepresent term Of the United
States Court.
One deputy marshall has q standing
offer Of s5to be given to any negro that
will get him up 9 case, whe ether the
parties are convicted or not and I 1ny.
self hare heard the Deputy Marshall
q cknowledge that he bad sold as much
as a barrel Of whisky.
Yet this is the kind of Federal officials
We have under . Democratic admins
tration. And I voice the sentiments OF
the respectable people Of our community,
.whensI say! that the majority OF the
present regime Of Federal officials should
be placed by some worthy officers, whose
conduct will not be a stain to themselves
and to the State.
g: Let us have change.

KANsEs Cry, Mo-, August 26-S. M.
Ballingsley, q wealthy business man and
farmer Of Bronanga, a small station near
iNeyada, Mo-, and his wife, have been
stopping at the new Albany Hotel for
several: days. They left yesterday morn.
ing for home. Last night Chief speers
and the :proprietors Of the hotel received
.telegrams stating that Ballingsley had
lost $1,000 in the hotel. The clerk made
a careful search Of No. 4b, the room they
had occupied but could find no money.
Sergeant BoulWare was assigned to the
case, and after q careful examination of
the employees Of the house, decided none
of them had found the money, and
another search Of the room was begun.
The money Was finally found between the
stats Of the bed and the mattress.
IL was done up in strange fashion.
Around the long leather purse that con-:
.tained the money q piece Of coffee sack
had been seBed as tight as twine could
sew sew il. Around this was wrapped q
towel which Was also tightly sewed, and
the whole was bound up in another towel
loosely stitched together. Mr.. Ballings.
ley arrived this morning and got his
money. He explained that his wife had
done it up in that manner so that she
could wear it as a hustle. In her hurry
to catch the train yesterday morning she
forgot to, put on her hustle and did not
discover the fact until they had reached
Nevada. "MXwife was almost crazy"
