James H. Brunson. the white man who robbed
the Packsville DosiQfnce. Brunson IS SUD
posed TO have a number of PacksvlNe money
/ orders running 10 No i0l and atcn OF postal
notes below No. .Oi. He wan iers about
through the country hunting and having a
good uuf RenCTally-not caring whether MS
game is wild OF tame-and leading sort OF
wild ives tern life. From time to time he
drops iu at o CTossrOad postOance and casnes
a forged order tOr enough 10 buy supplies 70
last until his Ext visit 10 town several
parties thereabOut are on he lookout for

Governor Tfllman is having a p eek Of
/ trouble about those paintings aud articles
OF virtu which were donated by the Amegif
can arts in Italy Mrs Della F.. II. Brown
some tin C arc TO he sold for Tie benefit OF the
sufferers on the coast By the hurricane last
summer. The articles have arrived in New
York, uut the import duty upon them. so the
collector OF the port writes to Governor TIL
man. amounts TO about $50. owing to the
valuation placed upon the articles kty Mrs.
Brown. The governor has no money IN hand
with Whls 70 pay this duty and does not
know whe iher the articles could be disposed
OF at Col umUia for this amount. Conse-
quehtly he is very much puzzled. He thin Ks
that there IS an international agreement
whereby american artists can send their
goods homs free OF all duties and has written
to ascertain whether this he true or not.
on Thus day Gov. Tillman granted his first
pardon TO a. violator Of the state dispensary
den, who pi eadcd guilty to the violation OF
the law AND was sentenced by the trial justice
to pay One OF 400 or go to jail for thirty
days. II seems that the man had been selling
cider Is e sold some 10 state constable,
knowing 70 whom he was selling and that the
man want ed It for the purpose OF analysis. 1t
was found to contain slii ht per cent. Of al
cohOl..and consequently he pleaded guilty,
He had no intention OF violating the law.
Thus II is, the governor says. that he granted
the pardon Coy; Illiman states that he sent
instructions TO all Of his constables to seize
every bit Of cider that uhey could find in the
state. He avs he does not intend to have
this plea OF innocence presented to him again
and he now ives all wao are handling cider
timely warning that such a plea don't go
hereafter.
This morni ng the special committee Of the
board OF trad E. appointed last night TO wait
upon Collector OF internal Revenue Townes,
called upon HIM at his Office and asked him
about the report as TO his intention to have
the revenue oidces removed from Columbia to
Greenvllle. MI Iownls received the commit

he had not yet prepare his petition and for
warCed it. indeed he had not yet fully laid all
of his plans, tut that be expected TO get the
petttlan ready to he forwarded in about ten
days time. He told the committee that his
reasons for having the transfer accomplished
were in a degree perso lal, aside from the fact
that most OF the business is now in the up
country. He promised TO notify the committee
wheI his petition was ready so that ii could
send on its proposed counter petition at the
same time.
