Gently violated. the law In regard TO

these papers advertised various prizes
for guessing contests and other chance

News and Courier, Nov. 81: The
Norwegian bark Smart which sail
ed from Santos, Brazil, several weeks
ago for this port, arrived in Charles
ton harbor yesterday afternoon, and
anchored last night off the quarantine
station. The Smart comes to Charles
ton with large cargo Of fine coffee

and jobbers in coffee. The cargo con-
sists Of about 10000 bags and 10 of
medium and choice. grades This Is
the third shipload, Of coffee imported
by F. w. WAGNER & Co., within the

/ Kings street, Charleston, Witness
led. a scene OF excitement last night,
says a special to the Columbia State,
as a result Of the dispensary consta-
bles searching, Sehiaderessfs .estab-
lishment. The constables seized
small quantity Of liquor there during
yesterday afternoon and they returned
to the place last night when the two
Schiaderessis opened fire, which was
returned, about fifteen or twenty shots
being discharged, but the only casu-
atty was a slight wound In the hand OF
one of the Schiaderessis. He was ar
rested, but later was bailed at the
station house. Constables Bateman,
Williams, Patterson and Wright par
ticipated in the raid and returned the
fire Of the owners OF the. place. The
raid netted seventy quarts Of whisky,
brandy and wine.
Now that the elections have set
tied everything. says a Columbia dis
patch, the members Of the State Bar
association have again taken up the
matter Of securing another United
States district Judge for this state.
AS 1t stands now, many Of the cases
are postponed or have to be taken to
other courts on account Of delay and
also on account Of the fact that when
cases are sent back from the court Of
claims in Richmond. 1t is not always
possible for Judge Brawley to hear
them again. About two years ago this
matter was vigorously agitated and at
the time it was thought 1t would be
successful, but local politics among
the Republicans of this state side
tracked the movement and the DEM
cratic representatives in Washington
did not care to rfeddle in with the
party here or to make any deals with
them. Conditions have changed, how
ever, since then and IL another district
Judge is provided for 1t will expedite
matters before the Federal court con-
siderably. The salary for another
Judge would be $4,000 year and sew
eral candidates mentioned for the
place before have been provided for
otherwise and the lawyers Of the state
are now willing that the matter be
pushed.
