No Commission Allowed for Repairs
on Charleston Custom House.
W. D. Crum, the negro collector of
the port at Charleston, S. c., has
again been turned down. He will not
be allowed any commission on $4,000
dfsbursed by him for repairs on the
Charleston custom house. Congress
authorized the repairs, but the comp
troller of the treasury states that the
law only allows commission on work
of construction, and not on repairs.
1t is supposed that this was an ef-
fort of Crum to secure money he be.
lieved due him while serving as col
lector at the port of CharIestSl under
appointment Of the president. His
salary was held up on the ground that
such recess appointment was unau-
thorized.

THE "UNWRITTEN LAW"
Saves Louisiana Judge Who Slew His
"Friend''-Grsnd Jury Refuses
Second Indictment.

Democratic Congressman George X.
Favrot was set free at Baton Rouge.
La, Thursday night, afte- having
been in Jail continuously for about
five months, unuer arrest on cnarSe
of murder, and awaiting action of a
grand jury. Thursday morning, by an
unanimous vote, the second grand jury,
which has considered his case, re-
fused to indict the congressman.
Favrot, last November, shot, and
killed DR.. r. H. Aldrich, OF Baton
Rouge, who had been his lifelong
friend. The congressman declared that
the physician had made disparaging
remarks about Mrs. FaVrot. The
shooting occurred after an exciting
election, in which Favrot had demon
strated great popularity, and While
Favrot was still judge OF the Baton
Rouge court, which has just set him
free. He resigned, and Was indicted
by split vote by grand jury, which
had been selected under his jurlsulc-
ton before the shooting. Because one
of the jurymen, who indicted him, WAS
an illiterate Italian, unable to read
the English language, the finding was
uuashed, the supreme court Of Louis
lana sustaining the quashing only q
few days ago.

Whiskey> Dispenser Arrested.

w: H. Wolfe, a whiskey dispenser
under the new Cary-Cothran dlspen-
sary act, was arrested at Columbia
on the charge of embezlement, haV'
inc been checked up $1,000 short in
his accounts, the alleged shortage oc'
curing within the past three weeks.
The shortage was discovered after
his being discharged for drunken
ness. In the period in which the
alleged shortage, occurred Wolfe's de-
posits were normal, showing that II
there was stealing it must have been
from the stock itself. Wolfe says
that his alleged shortage is surprise
to him, and that he does not know
how it happened. A thorough In
yestigation is to be made, both by the
state authorities and the bonding
company. .
This is the first revelation OF graft
in the new county dispensary system
and may give impetus to the move
ment to vote the dispensarles out OF
Richland county.

ENGINE HosTLERs STRIKE.
About 200 Employed by Central Of
GEORGIA Demand Hiqher Wages.

Georgia Demand Higher Wages.
Engine hostlers employed by the
Central of Georgia railroad went on
strike at Atlanta Thursday, as the
result of refusal on the part of the
railroad to grant an increase in wages,
and to do away with switching duties.
The strike was general all over the
system and probably 200 men in all,
including helpers, walked out.
The strikers, who were making
s2.09 a day, made demand OF $2.75
a day. This demand is based on the
statement that a hostler must have
a thorough knowledge Of firing and be
a practical engineer, which equipment
calls for a good deal of experience.

Georoia Got More Than Half.

Georoia Got More Than Half.
A recent issue of the Atlanta Cen
stitution contained the following: AS
surprising as it may seem, it is stated
that Georgia has received more than
half of the ship load of European i'm
migrants recently brought to Charles
ton on the steamship Wittekind.
There were some 600 or 700 OF them
on that ship, and the passage. Wa'
paid by the state of South Carolina.
Yet it is reported that more than half
of these have, of their volition, gone
over into Georgia and secured posi-
tions. At least one instance OF a
large body of them going to Georgia
is known, some sixty of them having
gone to work in the cotton mills OF
Columbus, Ga.
Not that they were unable to flno
good positions in South Carolina, but
there is said to have been a fear on
their part that some attempt might be
made to make them pay back their
passage money. 1t is we'll known,
however, that no such step was con-
tenlplated; it would be directly con-
trary to the federal statute.
