That Sheriff Corley means to stop

ing. He has been vigilant in the

side of Columbia, and captured one
horse, wagon, driver and four barrels
Of "booze." He brought the whole
shooting match' to Lexington; the
negro and "booze" were locked in

Columbia and put up cash bond of
$500 with Magistrate Derrick for his
appearance at the next term of court.
