A Big Whiskey Steal.

COLUMBIA, March 1s.-The facts In one
of the most remarkable robberies ever
known in this State have just been un-
earthed by the internal revenue officers
at Walhalla, S. G.
In 1892 Henry Bieman sold four Gov
ernment .distillerles, with bonded ware
houses situated about halfa mile apart
along the banks of creek, two miles
from Walhalla to W. @. Tatum. They
were built on the side of the hill sloping
towards the stream, and the ware houses
contained ten thousand gallons Of corn
whiskey. Tatum at once closed the dis
tilleries and the ware houses were locked
and the Government seal attached, 1t
being the owners purpose to hold the
whiskey three years before paying the
tax as allowed by law.
During the latter part Of August OF last
year Collector Townes wrote to Tatum
several times informing him that the
three years were about to expire and
urging him to be ready to comply with
the law. On the night of Septem ber 5th,
TWO days before the expiration Of the
time, three of the distilleries were burned
to the ground. The fourth only contain
ed seventy gallons of whiskey. Deputy
Collectors Vanderford and King were
detailed to conduct an investigation.
Visiting the sites of the burned buildings
they could discover no signs whatever Of
whiskey, although they expected to fnd
the ground saturated for many feet
around where the burning fluid had
flowed. Gradually the evidence was
developed and finally confessions were
obtained substantially, as follows:
Soon after the purchase by Tatum one
OF the ware houses had been entered, the
burglars drawing the staple Of the door.
Then had inserted one end Of piece of
hose into barrel and drawing it through
crack in the wall had placed the other
end in an empty barrel at the foot Of the
hill, into which the whiakey was siphon-
ed. This process was repeated night
after night until every gill of tho whiskey
had been stolen, the siphon arrangement
enabling the thieves to operate deliber-
ately and avoid the danger which hauling
away large quantity at once would have
incurred. The revenue officers say that
the tax on the whiskey is secured by the
bond.
The facts above related were gradually
developed, and the arrests OF John Far
mer, Ashbury Hide, William Whitman,
Tony Watkins aud John Rowland fol-
lowed. They have been given hearings
before United States Com missioner Haw-
thorne at Greenville and were held for
trial. Some of them have made full con-
fessions.-Special to. NeDS and Courier.

- The famous anti-theatre hat law
passed by the California House OF Repre-
sentatives is very sweeping measure,
and it's foes say this will make it dead
letter. It forbids any persons visiting
any places of public amusement to wear
hats, bonnets, hoods or other head-wear
during the hours of the performance.
The person aggrieved can recover dam
ages, and the offender is subject to i'm
prisonment and fine. The law applies to
mon as we'll as to women, and includes
within its provisions call places Of public
amusement and opera house." 1t might
apply to lecture or political mass meet
ing. 1t prohibits not only the wearing OF
large hats, obstructing the view of the
stage but of any hats, even the most in
nocuous love or q bonnet"
Texas farmers in the Pecos Valley
are solving the cotton problem by aban-
doning its culture and devoting their
attention to canaigre. The plant will
grow anywhere in the cotton belt, and is
very profitable at present prices, the crop
per acre being worth about 5000 and the
cost of planting and cultivating being
about the same az that of the sweet pota-
to crop. 1t is cultivated for the roots,
which produce from % to 33 per cent of
tannic acid, or about three times as much
as oak or hemlock bark. Tho tannic acid
from the canaigre is very valuable
for tanning fine feathers, and is also used
az dye stuff. At present the demand is
far in excess Of the supply and will prob
ably continue so for years to come.

Regular Drinkers.

COLUMBIA, S. c., March 15.-Every
day $500 gallons OF official chemically
pure whiskey disappear down the throats
Of South Carolinians. The State liquor
commissioner, Frank M. Mi1son, says
that 2, 500 gallons are packed each day in
the mammoth establishment here and
that this amount is necessary to maintain
full line ofsupplies in the seventy-three
retail dispsnsaries in the State. This
amount is distributed into about $1,000
bottles, TASKS, Jugs, and Johns holding
from pint up to five gallons.
It is the manifest policy now on the
part of the State board Of control to run
the whisky business for all there is In 1t,
and wherever q town remains unblessed
with high-toned liquor shop, steps are
being taken to remedy the deficiency.
The town of Yorkville Is greatly wrought
up over the effort being made to establish
a dispensary there and it is charged by
opponents OF the movement that the gov
ernor himself has interfered to assist in
imposing one upon an unwilling COM
munity. Yorkville for fifteen years has
been dry, in fact as we'll as in name, and
the prohibition sentiment is strong. Last
Tuesday night meeting was held in the
Methodist church to protest against q
dispensary and to urge the people to vote
the project down. The building was
crowded to everhowing. Pastors of all
the churches made addresses, but it is
predicted that in spite of everything she
can do Yorkville will have dispensary.
It is stated that dispensaries are to be
placed in Oconee end Pickens counties
where, for years, prohibition has been
effective.
Several of the leading hotels IN the
State, including the class that caters to
the northern tourist travel, have dispen-
sary privileges now and are allowed the
special right to sell cocktail and other
plutocratic drugs of mixed character in
bottles.
Two new dispensaries are to be opened
in Charleston as soon as the necessary
preliminary steps can be complied with,
making the total number In the city eight
Before the year is gone, it is not unlikely
that round hundred will be doing busi-
ness in the State.
Tho dispensary officers think that the
blind tiger is at last extinct, but they are
mistaken. It is true that the "tigers" are
not so frequently encountered as former
ly, and they are far more secret and cau-
tious in their habits, but they are still
with us. In this city there are few, very
few, but every village and hamlet has its
specimen.-Special to AttantG Constttu-

"A London mathematician estimates
that the whole population OF the world
could be packed in box measuring only
LAO yardt in width, 1.140 yards in depth
and LAO yards in height. Each person,
he says, could be allowed twenty-seyen
cubic feet of room in such box and the
box itself could be deposited when full in
any of the London parks, with ample
room to spare, and 'cyclist could run
arouLd it in about six minutes, the dis
tancs being two and halt miles. This
goes to show how small a part of the
the earth's surface, after all, Is required
to furnish standing room for its inhabi-
tants.
There is quite joke told at the e1-
pense Of a worthy minister of the gospel

denied the impeachment. Those who

him that he did ask aid for the statesmen,

For Liberia.

SAVANNAH, March 1S.-The steamship
Horsa will sail from Savannah tomor-
row for Monrovia, with 200 emigrants,
men, women and children. The emil
grants, who are mostly from the neigh
borhood of Memphis, Tenn, and Bir-
mingham, Ala, have beer waiting here
for ten days for the ship. They are all
very enthusiastic on the subject of Africa,
which they declare to be the true home
of all the SONS Of Ham. The Horsa came
up the river this morning, and was greet
ed by immense crowds of negroes. The
gates at the wharf at which she stopped
had to be closed to keep the crowds OF
curious negroes out. The Horsa is 700
ton fruit steamer and has been newly
fitted up with rough hunks and other
temporary conveniences to convert her
into an emigrant ship. She passed q rigid
inspection by the customs house officers
this morning, who gave it as their opin-
ion that she complied with the govern
ment regulations for emigrant-carrying
ships.
Rev. G. s. Smith, of Nashville, a PROM
inent minister of the African Methodist
Church, is making fight on the move
ment. He declares that the ship does
not comply with the government regu-
lations, and will make an appeal to the
collector of the port tomorrow to refuse
her clearance papers. Rev. Smith has
been to Liberia recently, and gives q
very unfavorable report Of the state Of
affairs there. He considers the move
ment simply a scheme on the part Of
the white men to make money out Ct the
ignorant negroes.
The move is under the direction Of the
international Migration Society, which
has its headquarters in Birmingham.
The secretary, e. B. Cottiugham, and
two other white men interested in the
company, will make the trip to Liberia
on the Horsa.

It seems now that many Southern
farmers viii not follow the ADVICE Of the
Cotton Growers Convention, which was
held. at Jackson, Miss, and reduce their
cotton ecresge. This is to be regretted.
3 Unless we reduce our next. cotton crop
about rs per cent. we may expect low
prices to continue. Foreign buyers are
already acting upon tho superstition that
there will be no reduction Of acreage, and
they express surprise that cotton has not
gone still lower. A repetition OF the
present crop would mean 81 to 4 cents at
New Orleans and about 8 cents on the
plantations. This would be ruinous to
the planters and merchants and would
give us still harder times. We must
remember that the European mill owners
5 and speculators are in the business with
the determination Of pushing American
cotton down to Q nominal price. A crop
Z Of 8, 1000, 600 bales would make them mas
sters OF the situation. We would be

No More Corn on Credit,

Believing that the system under which
many Southern farmers have worked, OF
raising cotton to make money with which
to buy provisions from the West, is iDju-
rious to the country and ruinous to the
farmers themselves, the merchants of
Wilkinson County, Mississippi, accord
ing to the Manufacturers Record, have
adopted novel plan for reforming some
Of their immediate neighbors. They have
decided. it Is explained, not only to use
their influence to induce the cottontots to
produce less cotton and to cultivate corn
and other food stutis, but haYe announced
that "they will sell no more corn, corn
meal, oats, or similar products on credit"
on their action the Record says:
"Under these circumstances the farmers
will be obliged to raise their own food
supplies or to buy for cash. If the mer-
chants of the entire South would take
such action as this it would Immediately
solve the whole question of diversified
agriculture. Instead OF standing, as the
system represented by them of advancing
money against cotton only, as barrier
to the diversification Of agriculture, the
merchants would take the lead In forcing
this diversity upon the farmers. For
short time they might lose some trade by
their failure to find market for Western
corn and bacon, but the prosperity of the
South would be so greatly enhanced that
all of its people would be able to buy
more largely of general merchandise and
the merchants would thrive according
'ly."
The plan adopted is heroic one, but
there will be few to question that it is
wise and proper one. It is well for rea-
sons that scarcely require to be mention
ed, but which may be summarized in the
single statement that it would mean the
keeping at home mainly for the farmers
benefit and largely for their profit, OF the
hundred million dollars which, according
to expert estimates, the South now sends
to the West every year for corn and ba-
con. We can raise at home all of these
articles that we need of as good quality
as those we can get from the West. We
can raise them more cheaply than we can
buy them, and every interest at home
would be benefited directly or indirectly
by raising them at home instead of buy
ing them.
And it is proper for the merchants to
initiate and promote the work of reform,
as they are largely responsible for the
evils they now seek to correct, as the
system Of advancing" feed supplies to
the farmers to enable them and encour-
age them to gain at cotton raising, was
organized by them and has been conduct
ed by them all these years, for the sake
of the profits they derived or hoped to
derive from it. The plan proved hurtful
to the merchants and farmers alike, even
when cotton sold at paying prices. Now
that ii hardly commands the cost of pro-
duction, it is plain that further trial of
the old plan means speedy bankruptcy
to the merchants as we'll as the farmers,
and the Mississippi merchants have e1-
hibited their good sense in abandoning It
in good time, after fair notice to tha.r
fellow sufforers.-Ne,os and Courier.

While Defending Ills Wife.

SpARTANBURa, March 16.-On last
Tuesday evening about two o'clock a
bloody tragedy was enacted at Boiling
Springs, seven miles below this city.
George Harrison, armed with musket
loaded with fifty buckshot, shot and kill
ed his brother-in-law, George Blackwell.
The killing was the result Of q quarrel
between Blackwell's wife and Harrison.
Harrison went to BlackwelPs house
while he was away and accused Mrs.
Blackwell of telling lies on him. This
she denied, whereupon be struck her a
stinging blow on the head with the bait
end of q gun, knocking her senseless.
He also struck one of the children, q little
girl, over the head, inficting painful
wound.
On Blackwell's return home his wife
reported the assault made on her and her
child by Harrison but as he was a
brother-in-law Of his, he passed the mat
ter by rather than have difficulty.
On Thursday Harrison, armed with a
musket, went to BlackwelPs home and
again charged Mira. Blackwell with tell
ing lies on him, and said: "There is no
use for you to deny it, for II you do so
you are a d-n liar" Blackwell then
said: "This is more than can stand"
and pulled his pistol, leveling it at Har-
rison. The weapon snapped twice, and
before he could pull tho trigger third
time Harrison raised his musket and
fired. Blackwell fell dead at his wife's
feet, pierced with fifty bullets. The
murderer has fed.-The State.
