COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 15.-At the re-
cent meeting of the National. Farmers
Alliance at Topeka, as reported by
Delegate Bowden, who has returned to
this city, it was decided that the Alll'
ance should discuss three topics before
States shall regulate the liquor tariff BY
some such plan as the dispenssry. Mr.
BoWden is emphatic 10 saying that TIE
Alliance has made no official promulga'
ticn on the question. The DiSpensary
has been no part of the platform, and
it has been announced. IS a topic TOR
consideration and debate merely to get
the matter discussed and to get Allan,
cemen thinking about the advlsaolIty
of State control of the liquor traffic,
and whether the South Carolina Dis
pensary idea is suitable to the needs OF
the various States.
Ali of this goes to snow that the
Dispensary idea is spreading and II
may be taken up as al Alliance de-
mand.
Mr.. Bowden talked interestingly
about his Western trip. The female
suffragists, he says, had great time IN
Topeka. Their convention was as large
as anything be has seen, and the women
were much in earnest about the mat
ter.
The National Alliance, he said, did
not do anything On the question OF fe-
male suffrage, and was inclined to en-
tirly dismiss the matter and leave each
State to act independently Oh tae ques.
tioD, If it saw fit. The order adopted
without alteration or amendment the
original Ocala demands.
There are CwC candidates for the next
meeting place of the National Alliance
Loss Angeles, CAL, and Raleigh, n.
G. The selection is to be made by the
executive committee. The offer from
California is coupled with proposition
to pay the expenses of the delegates
and If that effort is successful the AL
iiancemen will no doubt "Go West"
next year. The Alliancemen of North
Carolina wish TO have the convention
held there and for the members to at
tend the ceremoles at the dedication OF
monument to the late president
Polk.
On the subject of, State poaitics Mr.
Bowden said that there will be an early
conYention.-Rsgiste

the State serious trouble. Il locks now

ever, goes on down to Section 6 aud
says that all the duties, poaers, ETC.,

There have evidently been some serious
omissions, and the interesting situation
Is presented of all this ground work tax
machinery being abolished now, "
whiie NO other provision is made for any
other scheme until January |, 1895.
Aud in Section the county boards Ct
equalization share the same fate. Tden
again it conflicts with it'elf when It
provides for the election # county
supervisor and fixes this election ct the
next general election; requiring il the
meantime that the new county boards,
which the Governor appoints, taking the
powers. OF the abolished boards, canno;
do anything unless he is pressut.
There is only a short time remaining
before the township boards will have to
act and 1t Is now serious question great
Iy puzzling the State officials to knoH
what to do. There's no way CT getting
the Supreme Court to decide upon the
matter, and unless that body should
consider the repeating clau e, in the
matter OF time, as applying to the :Fho!e
act, every taxpayer could rush into court
and play havoc with the government.
A prominent man, who is very
much concerned in tie matter,
SAID yesterday, that it appeared
to him that the only remedy was for the
Governor 10 appoint the new boards,
but then would come the trouble referred
to aoout the supervisor.
It is thought that Governor Tillman
is for once in his life badly pczzled and
does not yet know what steps to take,
Egery one seems to be completely at sea
as to what construction to place upon
the garbled act, and all the officials seem
AFRAID to act, for they cannot tell what
will happen if the matter ls carried b.
any taxpayer to the courts. 1t means
everything to the State government aud
is vitality important mater.

rant was raised to $3.50, and the chan
ges appear to be in MIR. Weber'S hand.
In April, 1892, warrant was issued
to Henry Wilson for S6 for repairs on
q school house, by the trustees of school
district No. 4. and in September, 1892,
the trustees of the same district issued
to him warrant for $40 IS for repairs
on school houses and furniture. The
amounts in the BODY Of these warrants
appear to have been written by Mr..
Weber. There are only two schools in
this district. Inspection Of one OF the
schools, and information as to wha:
work has been done, and furniture fur
nished 10 both, Indicate that these
claims are without merit, the work not
having been performed.
A warrant has been sworn out
against Weber, charging him with Vlo-
atlng the laws of the State, and be was
arrested in the city IF Charleston on
the 9th day OF January, instant, and
gave bond for hts appearance to answer
any charges that may be preferred
against him in the court Of General
sessions for the county of Charleston
Not being a collecting officer, and
having DO power 10 recover the money
that has been thus wrongfully taken
from tue public schools, I, therefore re-
specttul:y ask that you direct the prop
er steps to be taken to recover the mon
ey. Inquiry ELECTS the fact that Mr.
Weber's bond isgood.
The amount to be recovered aad
turned into the treasury tor the use OF
he public schools is 81, 237.83, and the
lamCuntrecovered should be distributed
among the districts il proportion tc
their losses respectively.
While it is foreign to the issues here

poll tax collected ia Charleston county
while very much in excess OF TIT
