A SERIOUS NATTER
10 The Dispensary Regarding seiz.
ures of Contraband Liquor.
CLAIMS CT REVENUE oFFIcERsr
Over Half OF the nflscated Prom,
"rty is Taken by the Repre-
sentatives of the Federal
GOvcrtment.
Government

The Columbia State says dispensary
officials are wondering what will be
the result of the contention between
| Lhe State OF South Carolina and the
tcderai government in regard to the
seizure or packages OF contrabaud
liquor. If the matter is allowed TO
run on as 't is now, the State will lose
over 80 per cent. of the liquor seized
by the cons ableS. In the month OF
February, out OF the seizures made by
the cOnStaOleS, 5000 worth OF liuuor
was afterwards taken by the repre-
sentativeS OF the federal government.
Mr.. III. III. Crum, the commissioner
OF the State diSpenSary, Wednesday
explained the situation to reporter
OF The State. Up to the time when
Maj. Jenkins became collector Of Gus
toms, MIR. Crum had h2d an agreement
with the federal officials to the effect
that the State was TO be allowed to
keep all liquor seized by the constables
unless the liquors SO seized were evil
IDENTIFY sold in violation of the United
States revenue laws.
But under recent ruling the gov
ernmentS gauger at the dispensary,
Mr.. y. ). Trumbo, is ordered to in
Spect every package shipped in by the
conStableS and to seize all such as bave
not the names Of well known and rep
utable dealers as the parties from
whom the stuff had been obtained.
MIR. Crum thinks this has been very
arbitrary position for the federal au-
thorltieS to take-fUr it throws the
burden Of proof on the State, when
the State is not interested in forster
ing violatorS OF the revenue laws, but
is endeavoring to break up the opera
tionS Of law breakers.
During the month of January the
federal government, through its
agents, relieved the State dispenSary
OF 5000 worth Of contraband, for the
State could not, under the ruling Of
the department, prove its own right
to the packages. In February the
value OF stuff turned over to the
revenue officers was even more than
in the month preceding. II this is
kept up it will become a great hard
ship on the diSpenSary system, for not
only does the dispensary lose the pack
ages, but is not reimbursed for the
express charges paid on the seized
liquors from the point of seizure to
the State dispensary; and Furthermore
the State is but hir ny constabulary
TO work for the government
The constabulary has for the past
few years paid its expenses out of the
value OF the contraband turned into
the big watts at the State dispenSary,
but the proportion OF stuff taken by
the federal officers is so per cent of
the whole amount seized. The attor-
ney generals office is urging Crum's
claim for the return OF the liquors
taken from the State by the revenue
officials. The diSpensary commits
sioner does not cenSure Maj. jenkins,
but says the latter is doing right to
enforce the orders OF the treasury de-
partment.

a DREADFUL ACCIDENT.
by Which Two Men Are Killed by an
Automobile.

Count Elliot IborowSki Of New York
was killed WedneSay in an automobile
hill climbing race between Nice and
La Turbic in France. His chaffeur.
Baron de Pallangc, was seriously in
jured. The accident occurred during
one Of the trials along what is known
as the cOrniche stretch. Just at the
moment the vehicle reached an abrupt
angle the car struck small rock in
the pathway, causing sudden Swerve
which prccipitated the two men
against wall. Zborowski appears to
have struck headtirSt, as his skull was
smashed in by the violence OF the
shock. Although the baron was also
hurled against the wall he did not
strike on his head. The body OF Count
ZborowSa was brought to The chapel
OF Ills chateau here and his wife was
notified. When she arrived at the
chapel an affecting scene took place.
The trip Wednesday was the first
Zborowski had made over the route
and he was not acquainted with its
dangers. His machine was going at
speed Of 80 kilometres an hour at
the time OF the accident.
Baron de Pallange. who acted as
Count Iiborowski'S chatfeur, died
Wednesday night of the injuries he re-
ceived when he was thrown from the
car. The witnesses OF the start of
the race say that ZborowSki showed
considerable nervousness while await
ing his turn. Imprudently, he wore
white kid gloves, which prevented
him from having a firm grasp of the
break. At the signal To 20, he start
ed at half speed, which was soon in
creased to full speed The accident
occurred at the first turning OF the
road. The shock was terrific and
Zborowski was shot from his car and
struck the wall beside the road with
his head about six feet from the
ground. He fell TO the ground dead
his arms OutStretched. Baron de
Pallange was thrown to the left.
AT the same instant that Count
IborowSki and Baron de Pallenge met
their death, another accident occurred
at another point on the road The
chain or Baron GaStcuX'S automobile
broke and the car was overturned
against the rocks. The baron and his
chatlcur were thrown out, but both
escaped with severe bruises

Torn Stamps Not Good.

The poStotilce department has un-
der preparation small book, to be is
sued to patrons Of the poStotiiceS
throughout the country, which will
contain great amount of information
regarding the business OF the poStOtlice
which is not generally known. The
book will be, in measure, Il book of
instruction as to how to transact buSi-
ness with the pDStOtlice. One of the
things TO be treated will be the use Of
mutilated stamps on letters. 1t is
not generally known to users OF post
age stamps that torn or defaced
stamp cannot be used. Persons who
have torn stamps in their poSSeSSion
have been in the habit of paSting the
two pieces together and thus placing
1T on letter. rhiS is prohibited in
the postal regulations, and the person
who uses such stamp runs the risk
OF not having his or her letter deliver
ed. Sometimes the stamps are so
well repaired that the tear escapes de-
lection, but should the rent in the
stamp be found by the postal officials
ii is of no value. The book will also
contain information regarding the
registry and money order systems.
