time it was stated that the stuff was
being taken to the works Of the Ca
tawba Power company for retail to
the men employed there. Since then,
however, the reporter has been advised
by people who claim to know that this
was a mistake; that the whisky was
being taken to the town Of Clover
where most of 1t had been previously
engaged, and where thirsty customers
were waiting with jugs and money for
II know of one Negro" said the re-
porter's informant, "who was waiting
with the money in his pocket to take
SIG worth"
Although the party that made the
seizure had reason, at the time, to be-
lieve that 1t had struck quite a hand
some prize, subsequent developments
proved otherwise. The whisky was
unstamped, and so soon as it arrived
in Columbia it fell into the hands Of
the internal revenue officers, who took
1t all for taxes. Not only this, a dep
uty marshall came up to Yorkville
Wednesday to also make arrangements
for the sale Of the wagon.
But after all the question as to who
should get the confiscated property
was of but little concern to the people
who were really responsible for the
seizure. That responsibility lies with
certain citizens Of the vicinity who
had been laying for the blockaders for
quite while. One Of them said to
the reporter on Wednesday: 1.-The
thing had been going on until we de-
cided to put up with the nuisance no
longer. We laid for the tigers and 80
soon as we got on to this expedition
we put out word that resulted in the
capture. We have reason to believe
that the whisky was made at a moon
shine distillery not great distance
across the CASTOR line; but Of course
we are not certain that some Of 1t did
not come from other stills. Anyhow
we are all very much gratified at the
capture.
Among the witnesses summoned by
the state to appear against Parham on
the charge Of transporting were
Messrs. R. M. Dulin, J. w. and T.. J..
Patrick w. B. Riddle, ]. r. Howe and
Marshall Ford. None of them were
called upon to testify; but the under
standing Is that another warrant will
be sworn out before Magistrate John
son, and the case will probably come

WORTH KNow1Na.-Recently q resi-
dent Of Spartanburg was arrested and
tried and fined for violation Of the pos.
tai laws and regulations. The fine,
which was paid, was $40. The party
violated section 484 Of these laws.
The following Is the clause of the sec
ton which was violated: ANY person
who shall knowingly conceal or en-
close any matter Of higher class in
that Of lower class, and deposit or
cause the same to be deposited for con-
veyance by mail at less rate. than
would be charged for both such higher
and lower class matter, shall for every
such offense. be liable to penalty of
$10." The fine was paid. There are
many people who do not know Of the
existence Of such law. The offense
which occasioned this fine was the
mailing Of a photograph and letter
inside wrapper Of a newspaper,
which bore one cent stamp.

VICTORY For RELIANcE.-The second
Of the series of cup races between the
Reliance and the Shamrock III. was
sailed on Tuesday and resulted In an
other victory for the Reliance, the de-
fender beating the challenger to the
home line by the narrow margin Of
about two minutes. Another unsuc-
cessful attempt at q race was made
yesterday; but there was not enough
wind to enable the boats to finish
within the time limits. The Reliance,
however, had the Shamrock by about
two miles, and lacked only 100 yards
Of winning the race. The Reliance has
already won two races out Of five and
has to win only one more. The next
race will be attempted tomorrow.

be there, take off my hat to him and
say to him that 1 regard him as great
public benefactor who had been able to
see further ahead in the future than

agriculture. But If, on the other hand'
it should occur that the price of cotton
is dropped, when the farmer gets
ready to market his new crop. down to
cents, or 7 cents, instead of Is or IL,

my opinion that the manipulation OF

mischief"

WHILE there is no doubt about the
responsibility of the Turkish govern
ment, it has not yet appeared wheth-
er Turks or Macedonians are guilty of
the assassination Of the American vice
consul at Beirut. In the absence Of
positive information, it is reasonable to
assume that either Turks or Macedo-
mans may be guilty. The Mecedo-
mans have shown themselves equal
to almost any expedient that would
promise to embroil Turkey with for
eign power, and but little discretion
is to be expected from the no less
fanatical Turks. But no matter where
the guilt may lie, the Washington ad-
ministration has an opportunity to
show the quality Of it's metal in set
tling the affair in manner that will
properly comport with the prestige and
dignity Of the United States.

THE Greenville Mountaineer points out
that the newspapers are doing lots of
harm by alleging incompetency against
the management of the Southern rail-
road, and we agree with the Noun
taineer at least to the extent that no
such charges should be made without
some show of proof. In the Southern's
list of employees are hundreds of able
men who have had years of experience
in the service Of this road and who are
certainly not incompetent. To accuse
these men of employing incompetent
help is equivalent to charging them
with being incompetent themselves.

SECRETARY Wilson may be correct In
his belief that large part Of the new
cotton crop will sell below present
prices; but somehow we are unable
to see anything in his claim that there
is danger in the prevailing high price.
OF course, foreigners may be stimulated
to raise cotton; but that is not so bad
as that the southern people should
have to raise it without profit. 1t would
be better to let the foreigners have
complete monopoly.

the perversity of Great Britain alone
stands in the way Of the expulsion OF

low her great rival such an increase OF

THE fight between New York and
New Orleans for the control Of the cot
ton market is not an unimportant fea-
ture in the present situation. Although
cotton raisers are very much interested
in the fight, they will hardly be the
gamers by a settlement in favor OF
either city. They should prefer an In
definite continuance of the struggle.

this fall; but it is just as we'll not to
count on over ten cents for October

have any inside information on the sub
ject; but we look for a repetition OF
history, and we have a feeling that
much of the present crop will sell for
less than ten cents.

Murdered In Davie County.
Fort Mill special Of August q, to
Columbia State: Ed. Brewer, who
sometime ago resided In Fort Mill and
was employed in the mills, was mur-
dered and his body thrown In Yadkin
river in Davie county, N. c., on or
about July 30th, though his body was
not recovered until the 14th instant.
Brewer had been living at Concord, but
was on his way to Cooleemee to work
in the mill, having left Concord July
30th. The last time he was seen alive
was in Salisbury the afternoon Of that
day. Death was caused by a blow
from a club or other blunt instrument
on the head.
Killed by the Freight Train.
A Negro boy named Len Powers fell
from the Southern freight train be-
tween Leslie and Roddey stations last
Monday and died as the result OF his
injuries. He was mashed under the
wheels Of the train. Messrs. w. s. Les
slie and J.. w. Simpson found him a
short time after the accident and did
what they could for him; but he was so
badly mangled as to be beyond all aid.
He was taken to Rock Hill as soon as
practicable and died on the operating
table. The coroner's inquest developed
that the boy was stealing ride, and
that he had several times been ordered
from the train.

County Home Farm.
It is pretty generally conceded by all
who have seen 1t, that the crops on the
county home farm are as fine as are
the finest anywhere in this section.
the cotton crop consists Of about
fourteen acres and every acre Is good
for a bale or more. In all there are
about ninety acres Of corn, thirty acres
of which were planted by and for the
use Of the chaingang, and sixty acres
Of which were planted by Superinten-
dent Gaulden. This crop is a little late
as compared with last year; but those
who have seen it say it is fully as good
as has ever been seen on the place,
and they estimate the probable yield
at about 800 bushels.

BARBAROUS
PARENT
Tortures HIS Child Because IT
Grows Restless and Cries.

About 8 O'Clock last night one of the
most barbaric incidents known to
modern civilization occurred in front
of the Traders Bank on Main street.
A foreigner from Pinnicinnick was
s anding there with. a small child
waiting for street car to come along.
The child grew restless and began to
cry. The unnatural parent happened
to be smoking cigarette, an article
that destroys the reason and health OF
man, and it had evidently gotten its
work in on the fellows heart. The
fiend began TO burn the child's hand
with cigarette. Persons in passing
noticed 1t and called the police. The
latter made the fellow desist in his in
humanity and gave him his orders TO
get home as fast as possible. He ought
to have been arrested and severely
punished.
