ants soon reached the scene and the
man was taken to the lookup. He
said he would not be locked up By
the same policeman he was taken to
the steps of the two-story callaboose.
There he jerked away, but was caught
aud carried to the cell. His father
had just left the Convention" in q
buggy with three companion-all more
or less invigorated by the States
chemically pure" Learning of his
sons arrest, he leaped from the buggy
and ran to the lookup. There he at
tempted to break open the door and
release his son, but-the police inter
fered. Then there came e struggle
and the old man was locked up. By
that time aE immense crowd had
gathered. There around the little
whitewashed stone guard house at the
end Of tie public square, were gather
ed the friends Of son and father
cursing aud threatening to break open
the place, but with them were three
policemen keeping them back, while
behind stood circle of negroes-si-
lent but observant Suddenly the
crowd broke away. The smallest
policeman was being pressed over the
rails OF the fence by stalwart fellow,
with right hand on his throat. But
the young fellow swung loose and as
his man came towards him again call
ed to him to stop, but he did not.
Three blows in quick succession, fell
on the big fellows head. He stag
gered little. then rallied and stood
still with blood rushing freely down
his face. For few minutes hush
hung upon the crowd. AS the man
was to be locked up his friends put up
bond and be was taken off. Cooler
heads then prevailed and for an hour
or two they hung around the lookup,
discussing the matter, but there was
no disturbance. At last the father
and son were released on bond, taken
charge Of by friends and carried
home. Thus ended the third and last
day of the "Horse Swappers' Conven-
tion."
That night peace again reigned su-
preme over the town, with nothing to
disturb the solitude but the occasional
hoot Of an owl perched on one of the
numerous trees Of the public square.
The old white stucooed Court House
and lookup were bathed in the cool,
and brilliant rays Of winter night 8

10 Give Veterans Homes.
E. a. Trescot.

Columbia, October ia plan is
on foot in Marion TO provide for the
aged Confederate soldiers Of that
community. It is to form an associa
tion which shall, through charity,
provide home, with 9 few acres of
ground, for each old soldier who needs
it free Of rent, with frewood and other
conveniences to be had. The associa.
tion will be formed into stock COM
pany, which shall hold the titles to
the property and take care Of the
farms and Of their occupants when
necessary. The little farms will be
titled by the veterans so long as they
are able to till them. After their
death they will pass again into the
hands Of the association, 30 that the
members may be remunerated to some
extent for their work." says the Flor
enoe Times.
The widows Of veterans will be in
cluded in the. provisions also until
their death. They will have ell Of
the privileges accorded to the vete-
rama themselves.
This will give permanent home to
the grisEled boys in grey, who are
now renters with poor prospects for
the future. Many Of them who will
be provided for have children who can
and viii help them make their living
on the farms given them.
Among those gentlemen who are
formulating these plans are Ex.oon-
gressman Norton, G. G. Ford, B. q.
Smith, w. a. Daniel and others
equally we'll known, veterans them
selves in most cases.
It is not unlikely that other promi-
nent men in the county OF Marion will
join with these gentlemen and make
the home colony q county affair.
In this plan the private home idea is
preserved, the independence Of the
beneficiary Of the charity, and it will
be more pleasant because the little
farms will be gathered into one COM
munity, where the old boys can meet
and fight their old battles all over and
enjoy the hooiety Of old comrades,

After Beer Dispensaries.

"Yes, will put every beer dispen-
sary out Of business in the State Of
South Carolina" said G. p. Sims of
the Spartanhurg bar, who was in
Greenville yesterday attending the
United States District court.
When asked how he expected to do
it and whether or not the reports
from Spartanburg we're correct, Mr..
Sims replied that they were. II have
already started criminal proceedings
against L. Rebling and Joe Hughson.
They are both charged with selling
Intoxicating drinks to minors, and also
for maintaining nuisance. Both Of
these things are contrary to the very
statute itself, which expressly says
that no alcoholic beverage shall be
drunk on the premises of the dispen-
sary, and further, that none shall be
sold to minors. This law is violated
day after day by many beer dispen-
saries, many Of them maintaining a
room just ia the rear of the bar, where
tables and comfortable seats can be
found. Some go so far as to provide
glasses and salt.
The principal fight against the
beer dispensary, however, is to be
made on the civil side of the court
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1904-11-02

on the ground that the dispenser re-
ceives profit from this business,
which is contrary to the expressed
provision of the dispensary law, that
declares whatever profit there is after
expenses are deducted shall go to the
State. AS the business is now con-
Quoted tie dispenser gets nearly every
thing and the State practically moth

Mr.. Sims intimated that he would
begin proceedings st an early date
against one or more beer dispensaries

on this land, but that the records do not
snow who did this alleged cutting or how
much was cut. State Auditor Iverson GER
tlles that the exact language of Cruiser
mckenzie report was this: New cut
t1ngs, which means that the timber had
never been cut into and that no cutting
mad been done. The cruiser does not say
tnat anything was ever cut on this sec.
ton, and the public examiners statement
is an absolute falsehood.
Section 36-53-12 The public examiner
makes similar false statement regard
ing this section. He says the cruiser re-
ported that there were new cuttings
and that he estimated the amount of tim
per still standing at 1000, 000,' and he
further alleges that the records show no
attempt to collect for these new cuttings,
and although the cruiser reported 4,O00.-
600 feet of timber, all the timber on this
land was sold at a lump sum of 500,
and with either the densest stupidity or
malice, the public examiner asks: 1.-The
query is. what became of the 4,000,000
State Auditor Iverson certifies that
Cruiser Mckenzie never made an esti-
mate or report that there was 100000
feet of timber on this land but that
there is an estimate of 100000 feet on
section 16 in the same town. He also
certlf1es as to what timber was sold cut
and paid for on this land.
The foregoing are few of the first
cases in the public examiners report, and
it, is not necessary to weary the public
with citing any others. as they are all
alike throughout the entire list. The
above samples are not exceptional cases,
but every item OF Public Examiner John
statements of State Auditor Iverson to
be just as false and full of gross misrep-
resentation, fact which can be proved
by comparison.
