A Columbia correspondent says: 1t is a
somewhat noticeable fact. on account OF its
frequency, that a number Of the state Officers,
those paid to do their work here or in other
parts of the state. are unusually active In cir
culating around and making alliance cam
paign speeches There may be work for
them to do and. If there is not there might
be no special necessity for the particular Of
fees they might be filling. No one can or
does object to state officers or anyone else
having recreation, but speaking in these hot
times is very far removed from pleasure.
News and Courier: Constable c. D. Swan
went through the somewhat disagreeable per-
Torrance of reporting to United States
Marshal CUNNINGHAM In compliance with
Judge SimOntOn's order, the spy was dl-
reCted to report to the marshal every morn
ing and so the representative Of the Pal
metto cocktail is getting into the ruts. He
went around TO the custom house at the
proper time and answered to his name very
cheerfully, but there was something in his
manner which seemed to say, 1t is goose
and not a swan, and his general air greatly
Iosem bled thatof the sheriffs who recently had
to pay so dearly for their experience with the
United States court.
A gentleman Of Barnwel, who has given
some thought to the subject. thinks the towns
and counties are being Disseminated against
by the state In the division Of tho dispensarY
profits. He says that the practical result OF
the operations is to give the state three
fOurths leaving only Onefourth for the town
and county; that this arises from the fact
that the bulk of expense is paid out Of the To-
cal share the states part being practically
all net. Another observation made on the
same occasion. and by the same gentleman
was the difficulty of understanding how any
petition could be granted which contained
forged names, as the fact OF their being
perjury on the part of the applicant This
sh uld not only subject him to prosecution
but De instant and memorable cause to dis
miss his application as that OF person OF i'm
moral character.
