trouble which developed between his
liquor deputies and the local bail
commissioners, and at meeting, to-
day, ordered that in the future prison.

the commissioner they wish to act for

charged that the deputies have shown
special favor for one man, and that he
has been called upon to officiate when
ever he could be found in preference
to all others. AS the commissioners
fees for each arraignment amount to
$11.5O they believe the work should be
divided.
When the matter was brought to the
attention Of Sheriff Pearson he re-
uuested all the commissioners to meet
him and his deputies for conference.
and several of them responded. today.
Commissioner Looney presented the
case for the complainants. He said
that while they were not prepared
to charge collision between the depu-
ties and any particular bail commits

had officiated at a majority of the ar
raignments in liquor eases during the
present sheriff's administration.

missioner Kehoe had been present on
several occasions when seizures were
made and it seemed that some under

SPEAK WELL 0FTHE SOUTH.

A large party of New York business
men visited the Charleston Exposition
il body recently. Secretary Corwine
of the Merchants Association had
charge of the trip. Upon their return
home all of the visitors spoke enthu-
siastically of what they had seen. Sec
rotary Corwine said:
''The trip is going to result in a
great deal IN business way. Every
member of our party was surprised by
the great development we found every
where, and there was much talk on
the return trip of the South as 9
field of profitable investments. We
found out that the state of South
Carolina at the present time manu-.
features 20 per cent. of the natural
products of the state, where only few
years ago it exported nothing but the
raw material"
Thus, says the Savannah News, If
the exposition indicating its existence
cit was designed and erected for the
purpose of showing the world, and
prospective investors especially, what
great resources are possessed by the
South and how numerous and rich are
the opportunities for profitable in
vestments in Southern enterprises.
"rhe newspapers of the South have
for years been preaching the natural
richness of the section, but capitalists
are partial to ocular demonstrations
The great expositions held in Atlanta
New Orleans and Charleston, not the
least of which is last named, have
afforded these demonstrations Being
able to see for themselves that the
claims of the newspaper have not beer
exaggerated, the capitalists can onl5
believe.
The benefit that the South will re
ceive from CharIeston's enterprise in
the matter of the exposition Will bt
great and extend over period of years
