Says a Columbia special to The News
and Courier: The Richland Distillery,
which Is to turn out hundreds Of bar
rels Of whisky each month, started
work today, and will manufacture IL
quor just as fast as the plant. which
is a very large one, can work. Mr..
Briggs w. Wilson, Of Augusta, will be
in immediate charge Of the property
as general manager. The Richland
Distillery will make a considerable
market for corn, and if it could get its
supplies from native fields 1t would,
no doubt, be glad to do so. Whatever
of the product is not sold to the dis
dispensary will be shipped out of
the state; but by saving freights and
other expenses and being able to reuse
barrels, the distillery here thinks it
will have such an inside track, with
equal goods, that it can secure the bulk
Of the dispensary business on the grade
of goods that it will place on the mar

BoBRs AT ST. HELENA.-Easily the
most prominent prisoner among the
1900 Beers quartered at st. Helena, Is
General COME. He occupies a small
eight-room cottage not far from the
government house, and lives there with
his wife, grandson, a secretary and ad-
jutant. His house has a comfortable
veranda in front, where he passes most
Of the day smoking his pipe. He is in
good health and seems very contented.
He is not allowed to leave his home
without an escort. Whenever he eX
presses a desire to go out, a carriage
and pair, together with an escort, are
always sent from Government House.
There are two camps for the rank
and file of the Boer prisoners. Broad
Bottom, which is 1900 feet above the
level Of the sea, accommodates ",0b0
men, and at Deadwood, 1000 feet above
sea level, $500 are housed. Both en-
campments are surrounded with a
double line barbed wire fence, and are
guarded by about 1000 men. The pris-
oners live mostly in huts built by them
selves, and built of empty packing
cases and kerosene tins. The only re-
striction made Is that they shall be
portable, in order to move from place
to place, and arranged in regular Ines.
The men do their own cooking and are
very ingenious in arranging their huts.
There has been no sickness among
the prisoners. Many Of them were suf-
fering from enterfc when they arriv-
ed, but this was speedily stamped out.
There was a severe epidemic Of influ-
enza recently, to which many Of the
Islanders succumbed. There were no
cases, however, among the Beers. The
prisoners amuse themselves in many
ways. They are fond Of cricket and
football They have a recreation hall,
in which their musical club gives con-
certs. There are many tradesmen
among them, and they are constantly
encouraged to ply their trades. They
carve napkin rings from beef bones,
and make fine walking sticks, for which
they are granted material from the
government forests. There was recent
ly an exhibition of articles manufacture
ed by the prisoners and 1t was highly
creditable.-Army and Navy Journal.

In Trouble.

Spartanburg Herald, Thursday: Yes
terday, United States Commissioner
VIM. MCGOWAN issued a warrant for
the arrest Of J. T. Robertson, postmas-
ter at Cowpens, on charge of embezzle-
ment. The warrant was sworn out by
c. T. Narramore. Narramore alleges
in the instrument that recently, while
he was working in Union, S. c., he sent
an amount of money by money order
through the mails to his wife at Cow
pens, S. c. He further alleges that
Postmaster j. r. Robertson, at Cow
pens, opened the letter, deducted from
the amount a sum which he claimed
that Narramore owed him, and Mrs.
Narramore secured the remainder. A
deputy marshal, who has the warrant
in charge, will serve the document on
Robertson at Cowpens this morning.
The case will be investigated by Com
missioner MCGOWAN, and it's ultimate
outcome is awaited with interest

tion.
Colonel Willie Jones, chairman Of the
state Democratic party and until re-
Gently a candidate for the seat in the
United States senate, at present occu-
pied by Hon. John L. McLaurin, has
! given out the following remarkable
statement to the press:
II have concluded not to enter the
race for the United States senate next
year, because I feel that I cannot give
up my home business interests, unless
there be special demand for 1t.
have a very large personal acquaint-
ance with the Democrats of this state.
Judging from letters received and
many personal interviews I feel satis-
fled that my chances for the nomina-
ton to this distinguished position would
have been fully as good as that Of any
candidate whose name Is now mention
ed in connection with the senatorship.
against any man in this state except
two, namely, Senator Tillman and Gen
eral Hampton, because I believe either
Of them could beat me or any other
man in the state.
"By the way, I think the very best
solution Of the senatorial contest would
be for all the young men who are now
candidates for the place to announce
their withdrawal on the condition that
General Wade Hampton accept the po-
sition and let the old general be elected
without opposition.
without any reflection upon any
candidate now in the field, I believe
that General Hampton's views on ma
tional politics meet with the approval
Of practically all the Democrats in the
state. Such happy and gracious
event as the selection of General Hamp-
ton, at this particular time would make
the Democratic party Of this state alb
solutely irresistible and save US Of
much agitation and feeling when there
Is so much else for our people to do
II happened in 1877 to be one Of the
six Democratic boys who carried Gen.
Hampton on our shoulders from the
platform where he was inaugurated,
through the streets Of Columbia to the
hotel, and today again it would be my
great pleasure to cooperate in elevating
him to this high position, because be-
lieve it would be for the good Of the
great Democratic party of my state"

Charged With False Pretenses.
Spartanburg special Of Friday to the
Columbia State: w. J. Nicely, rail-
road contractor, who built the road
from Jonesville to Lockhart, was today
tried in Magistrate McGowan's court
on the charge Of obtaining goods under
false pretenses. Some months ago w.
]. Nicely came to the city and bought
about $1,000 worth Of grain, groceries,
etc., from w. H. Clarke, a wholesale
grocer Of the city. At the time he rep
resented to Mr.. Clark that he and his
son, John w. Nicely, were in partner
ship, conducting supply business at
Pacolet. When Mr.. Clark endeavored
to secure a settlement few days back,
he was informed by w. ]. Nicely that
John W. Nicely was not a member Of the
firm. This was the condition on which
the goods were sold, for John w. Nicely
is an honest, straight forward, well-to-
do man, and his rating is o. K. in the
business world. Mr.. Clark had a war;
rant issued for w. ]. Nicely, charging
him with obtaining goods under false
pretenses. AS conclusion Of the case
this morning, Magistrate MCGOWAN
bound Neely over to court in the sum
Of $500, which was given. Mr.. r. K.
Carson represented the prosecution, and
Mr.. Stanyarne Wilson the defense.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.
Must BE Non-Partfzan.

Governor McSweeney, few days ago,
received from State Constable w. w.
Sellers, a letter to the effect that Uni
ted States Marshall McCravy had told
him-Sellers-a story like this: IF IL
quor constables work against McLau-
rim, Governor McSweeney will turn
them off the force because he Is oppos-
ed to Tillman." Governor McSweeney
has caused to be published statement
in which he declares that he has not
committed himself in the pending quar-
rel between the senators and that he
will not permit offensive partizanship
of a kind that is likely to interfere
with their duties on the part of the
constables. McCravy claims that
Sellers misunderstood him; that he said
nothing further than the fact that the
governor will not permit offensive par
tizanship.
Important Tax Decision.
Says a Columbia special of Saturday
to the Greenville News: The state su-
preme court has just rendered a most
important decision relative to taxation.
It holds that county boards Of commits
sion have the right to fix and collect
taxes for county purposes, or in other
words it holds THAT the power to COL
lect taxes for the subdivision Of the
state is conferred by the constitu-
ton upon the fiscal authorities Of
such subdivision whether the tax
was created by any act of the
general assembly or by said cor
porate authorities under an act Of
the general assembly" The county
commissioners of Oconee county impos-
ed an additional levy Of one half mill
for road tax. The Southern railway
paid under protest. The circuit judge
held that the tax levied by the county
board was illegal. The supreme court
reverses the circuit court and holds that
the county has the right to impose an

Tax Must be Paid.

Commissioner Yerkes, of the internal
revenue, has rejected the claim of the
state of South Carolina for a refund Of
the taxes paid by the state agents as
wholesale and retail liquor dealers,
amounting to something over $1,000.
The commissioner formally announced
his decision in few words, without en-
tering into any arguments, as the case
is now before the court Of claims, where
the department will present its views.
The claim of the state was that the
control of the liquor traffic was one Of
the state instrumentalities in securing
the welfare of it's people, and as such it
was exempt from taxation under the
constitution.

IN THE CONFEDERATE MUSEUM.
Relics Preserved In What Was Once
the White House of the South.

the White House or the south.
In house simple in appearance
but imposing In size, Jefferson Davis
lived as president Of the Southern Con-
federacy, and that mansion is today
one of the most notable objects In
Richmond, the capital Of the Confeder-
ate States, and has become known far
and wide as the white House Of the
Confederacy." Situated on Shockoe
Hill, it overlooks a great expanse Of
country, and from the broad porches
that surround 1t the winding River
James can be seen for miles.
While the home of Jefferson Davis Is
known to every Southerner; but little
has been written Of that noble band Of
women who have converted it to its
present appropriate uses-a museum
wherein the hallowed relics Of the past
may be preserved from generation to
generation and the memories Of that
heroic struggle for liberty and home
forever kept alive.
The city Of Richmond purchased this
property in 1861, and upon regaintng
possession Of it from the Federal gov
ernment in 1874 converted the man
sion into a public white school. The
historic mansion served this purpose
for many years. it being held fitting
that the hearts and minds of Southern
children should be trained and taught
within it's hallowed walls.
AS time rolled on, however, the wo-
men of the South talked about the
need Of a Confederate museum. They
banded together and after long and pa
tient work raised sufficient money to
secure possession Of the building. Not
a change in its architecture was made;
but steps were promptly taken to rem
der it as nearly fireproof as possible,

A NARROW EscAPE.-One evening, in
the summer Of 1886, q portion Of the
Fifth United States infantry, while on
their way to New Mexico, halted on
the prairie. They were 300 strong, and
many Of them were veterans Of the civil
war. An ominous sound, like the NUT
tering Of distant thunder, startled
them.
Soon a scout came in and reported
that an immense herd Of buffalo was
sweeping toward the camp. The roar
heard by the soldiers was the rattling
Of the herds hoofs. Soon a black
mass was seen bearing down, and be-
hind it cavalcade Of pursuing Indians,
500 strong. They had maddened the
buffalo, hoping to capture the train by
stampeding the frightened animals and
causing them to overrun the soldiers.
Something caused the herd to open
before it reached the soldiers. It pass
ed in two columns, leaving the infan-
try, their wagons, mules and horses
between and not 600 feet from either
mass of the maddened beasts.
When the savages saw that their tao
tics had failed, even their natural self
suppression failed to prevent an exhi-
bition of their rage. They rode off in
sullen fury.-Old Sante Fe Trail.

expires. The amount now filed Is near
ly $40,000,000 and claims are coming IN
every day. Before any claim can be
adjudicated two important points must
be settled. Nearly every person who
had a near relative killed when the
Maine was blown up has filed claim
for damages. It Is the contention Of
the counsel for the commission that
these claims do not properly come un-
der the provisions Of the act constitu-
ting the commission, but are purely ma
tional questions to be dealt with in the
same way that pensions are handled.
The other point Is whether the claims
can be filed for damages sustained in
the Philippines. The general under
standing has been that this commission
was formed to adjudicate claims of
American citizens who lost property by
the insurrection in Cuba. One claim
has been filed for damages sustained by
an American citizen in the Philippines.
This point will be argued very closely.
There Is no appeal from the decisions
of the court. It Is not likely that there
will be any awards for six months, or
perhaps year. as the testimony has to
te taken on every claim.
