A POLITICAL SENSATION.

Gadsden u. Bryan was convicted in
DeLand, Fla. the other day OF cow steal
ing. Great excitement has attended this
trial on account Of the prominence OF
the defendant, who is politician Of some
note in Volusia county. and OF the stock
men. who are anxious TO put a stop 10
cattle stealing, being out i'm large num-
bers. In May. 1897, Bryan purchased
1000 head OF cattle from the clifton os-
tate. and by the terms Of the sale the

AN ARDUOUs SYSTEM.

COLUMBIA. Dec. 22-The Christmas
season seems 10 bring a decided influx
OF liquor intended for personal use. There
is no telling how much whskey aud
wines are being brought into the State
for the holidays and although the dis
pensary IS doing a splendid business n
great deal of liquor is being shipped in
10 private parties. The constabes seem
to think that 1t IS their bounden duty
to seize anything In sight. or 10 find
some flaw In the shipment or marking
by which 10 conhscate the goods 10 the

salaries, and of playing 20 the powers

those in charge would much prefer the

ton and not seize everything I'm sight
merely TO be Selling. Perhaps the ma
tority Of liquor seized, really intended for
personal use. is never returned Many do
not care 10 ask for its return and every
technicality seems TO be taken advantage
of by the constables. and they frequently
ask that their course be sustained
