about 10000 may come in on wagons.
That will leave about 100000 bales to
be shipped in here to supply the de-
mand.

Correspondence News and Courier,
9Th inst: In the case of the Stats VS..
Tucker, which is reported in the su-
preme court decisions today, the court
holds that the act relative to cleaning
out of streams at certain times of the
year and providing for punishment
for failure to clean out the streams of

A Dispenser Pardoned.
Governor McSweeney has pardoned
R. T. G. Holtzclaw, of Greenville.
Holtzclaw was dispenser in Green
vile. The petition states that at the
time he was dispenser he entered the
race for sheriff, and that in so doing he
neglected his business as dispenser
and left some one else in charge.
While attending to his campaign, ire
gularities occurred and shortage was
claimed. Holtzclaw admitted irregu-
larities amounting to about $3.50; but
claimed as an Offset bottle account
and other items. The court would
not allow any Offset to be regarded as
sufficient and Holtzclaw was convic-
ted. The judge sentenced him to serve
six months on the cbaingang or pay a
fine of 5000. He served his time on
the gang and now petitions for par
don TO be restored to citizenship. The
entire Greenville delegation, all of the
county officers, city officials and many
citizens petition for the pardon, which
was granted neutrality-suspicious.
