TIE COST OF TIE BUILDING
Capltol Commissioner Perry last year expended

total cost TO S2O72Gg7l Is The state took the first
step toward the construction OF the building as far
back as 1863 by buying some land near the Old
Capitol which had been used since 1896 II Is thus
thirty years since the state deliberately resolved 10
house It's legislators and State officers In new
home and first expended rs dollars TO execute the
project. Tho cost Of the building has been enormous
but not. 1t is believed. because Of any dishonesty
upon the part of the State officials who from time
10 time have had charge Of the work. but because
the State hired the labor. The state has paid the
laborer the highest market wages and then has
not exacted from him the amount Of labor demanded
laborers upon buildings being erected for citizens
Moreover politics has put many incompetent work
!ngmen at work among the Capitol force II Is in
terestng TO note the appropriations for the Capitol
during these thirty years.

will be given a hearing in the United

ments on the motion, they will allege
that the matter in dispute, exclusive Of
costs, does not exceed $4,000 as re-

validity of a patent, copyright, treaty,

Raiding Marlboro Farms.

BENSErrsv1LLE, March 23.-J L
! Hodges, fertilizer inspector, sone few
days ago seized several tons of meal in
this county, which had not paid the
State fertilizer tax. All parties came
forward and arranged by paying the
tax. Mr.. Hodges gave notice to all
parties using any meal or fertilizer lot
properly tagged to send money to State
Treasurer Bates, but as only those from
whom he had seized had responded, be
went back yesterday into that section Of
the county bordering on the North
Carolina line, aud seized about 5000
bags of meal and other fertilizers which
we're minus the tags The dealer 10
North Carolina has sold these goods to
South Caroline farmers.
The Gibson Station Oil Mill, which
lie located just across the State line in
North Carolina, has been in operation
for several years and has never tagged
any of their meal, and much Of it this
season is said to be of an inferior
quality. This, coupled with the whole
sale seizure, has caused much complaint
aud dissatisfaction among the farmers.
Mr.. F. B. Gibson. a merchant on the
line, is an extensive dealer in meal and
has sold much of these seized goods.
He has large farming interests in this
county, and Mr. Hodges visited bis
farms today aud seized obout 300 bags
of different kind of fertilizers, all OF
which were minus the State poster
board. All parties have agreed to pay
the tax except MIR. Gibson. He pro-
poses to take the case through the courts,
and test its constitutionality. The
inspector is still on the var path and by
tomorrow night he expects to have
increased his seizures to 5000 bags.
The farmers are mad and are anxiously
watching these cases.
