SILVER.

Bradstreet'S.
Indian and other demands for silver
were not as large as they have been,
and the London market at the beginning
of the week experienced further frac-
tional reaction in the quotations for
bars. This was followed by the New
York prices for silver A slightly firm
er feeling, however, soon asserted itself,
due apparently to the belief that India
will be obliged to purchase on large
scale during the remainder of the
year, owing to the demand for silver
currency in that country.

more of desire on the part of buy
ers to delay operations until after that
date. The market to-day has shown
no sign of weakness in any direction,

to the absence of buyers, the general

WAS in the room at the time.
1t is known that Mr.. Attaway and his
wife were inmates of the asylum several
years ago, but they did not remain long
and it was thought that Il permanent
cure had been affected. Mrs. Attaway
now makes the statement, so it is said
that she chokrd her husband to death.
Friends think she is unbalanced men
tally. \ coroncr'S inquest was held over
the body of Mr.. Attaway on account of
tn" sClf-accusation of his wife. The
rcidict was that "McSwain Attaway
came to his death from heart failure,
caused from tit."
Mr.. Attaway was subject to tits and on
the night Of his death it is said bitter
quarrel took place between the minister
and his wife. At the coroncr's inuucst

Truly a costly sacrifice, and one freely
made, of the best blood Of the common

So much, concscly presented, for the
personal sacrifice of South Carolina in

givcn-tigurcs based upon records and
the logical differences dcduciblc there

The patriotism of the contribution and
the pathos of the Sclf-sacrilicc make M
the story of the fame Of this common
wealth. And when, further, there arc
added to this military heritage South Ca
rolina's contribution Of craftsmanship
and the fidelity Of her noble woman
hood in the years of the war, there is
exhibited a demonstration of devotion
to principle in ScOrn of consequence, and
in obedience to duty, that challenges the

by South Carolina in the war between

BUYING THE STATE LIQUOR.
1t is Suggested that the State Employ Broker
to Purchase It's ''Chcmcay Pure

t"It MEIA, January G.--IIow to pnr-
chase liquor for the state diSpcnsary is
to h" one Of the greatest problems the
General Assembly will have to solve at
the approaching session. 1t is manifest
that the present plan, through the State
board of control, does not suit, for it j.;
SaId that the state board Of control is TO
be lrgiSlatcd out Of office.
The question, f. Ell. is how will the
million and Il quarters worth Of liuuor
he bought" Thc proposition that was
suggested toy caucus of leaders is TO
advertise for bids, have the bids made
Tor a years supply to be ordered as
needed, and have the awards made by
tn" board, (" consist of the Governor,
Secretary Of State, Attorney General and
rhairlnrn of the finance committees of
tlI" House and Senate.
II is suggested that instead Of havinu
such i board it would hc IL good idea to
employ broker who understands the
liquor business and have him place the
orders for Il small commission. This, il
j. urged, would remove the matter en-
lIrclN from politics and talk, and the
AGENT of the State would he strictly the
business representative. and the pur.
"ha%"S W"uld hr made upon business
principles.
Ii Is urged that such a buyer could
save the State Il Great deal Of money, and
that il would be 10 his interest to buy
good liquors at aS low price rs poSsi.
