DIVIDES HUNTING LICENSES.

Judge Hunter, of the district court
at Trinidad, handed down an opinion
few days ago which is of consider
able local interest.
The decision appertains to the
proper division of the 81 hunting IL
cense fee, which is divided as follows:
Fifty cents to the fish and game COM
missioner. % cents to the county in
which the license was issued, and %
cents to the county clerk. When ].
L. Vigil left the Office of county clerl,
he was sued by the county for S34G,
which an expert accountant stated
was owing the county. Vigil stood
ready to refund the money pending a
decision by the court. The amount in
question. SS46. was made up of %
cent fees which, by authority of At
torney General Miller, he had placed
in his pocket. The same condition
existed in nearly every county in the
state. The court found in favor of
the former county clerk.

commissioner says, to commit any
fraud without the direct and deliberate
collision of the government gauger and
st~orekeeper. Under the immediate di-
rection of Commissioner Capers an ac-
tive campaign has been inaugurated in
Virginia for the ferreting put of the
frauds by which the government is an
nually being defrauded in Virginia
alone of something like $500 a day, in
the opinion of the commissioner.
"Many of the distilleries in Vir-
ginia," he said today to the State rep
resentative, "have been making two OF
three gallons of whiskey for every gal
lon upon which they pay the revenue
tax. This goes on in all the States
where whiskey is made to some extent,
and reports have come to this office of
1t in Kentucky, Tennessee, North Caro-
lima and elsewhere. In most of the
reported cases of defrauding the gov
eminent Of the revenue it has been by
small blockade distilling, but in Vir-
ginia especially, and to a slight extent
elsewhere, there has been collision be-
tween the distiller and the gauger and
storekeeper by which more whisky is
made than the gauger reports. The
way this has been done is very simple,
80 simple in fact that it is very hard to
detect it. The gauger is required by
law to stand at the spout through
which every drop of distilled spirits
must come, and as o o as one barrel
is filled he must roll that barrel into
his storehouse, which has in it one door
and no windows, the one door being
locked with a special kind of key fur
nished by the government. Then he
must roll under the spout another bar
rel just like it. Every pound of grain
the distiller purchases must be &C
counted for in the quantity of spirits
distilled, but there is a margin of 20
per cent; that is, the distilled spirits
gagged must be 80 per cent. of the
maximum amount which that kind of
grain can produce. After this 80 per
cent. has been gagged by the gauger
the custom has grown up for him to
look the other way or go out for a
short walk, varying in length from a
half hour to several hours, during
which time the distiller is catching
whisky from the spout in q private YES
sci and rolling it down the hill. This is
the most common way for the govern
ment to be defrauded of the revenue,
- 49, r
which, however, must be with the col
fusion of the government gauger. This
official may not always be a willing
partner with the defrauding distiller,
although the distiller making from $50
to 500 a day by saving a dollar ard ten
cents on every gallon can we'll afford to
give a portion to the gauger. But Of

THE COLORED CONFERENCE.
Sessions of the A. M. e. Church Confer.
ence Begin Here Today.

This morning at $50 o'clock the an
nual session of the Columbia Confer
ence Of the African Methodist Episco-
pal church will be called to order at
Bethel church, this city, by Bishop l..
j. Coppin, of Philadelphia. Several
meetings will be held daily, and the SEES
sion will continue through Sunday.
The Columbia Conference embraces
the northwestern portion of the State
and is composed of six districts and
100 pastoral charges.
Outside of regular routine business,
the most important matter to come be.
fore the present session is the selection
of ten ministerial delegates from this
Conference to the General Conference
which meets in Norfolk next May ir

circles that Greenwood will be made a
distributing point, and that the road
will go from that point directly to Sa-
vannah.
81 asked Mr.. Walters why the South
& Western did not use the tracks of
the Columbia, Newberry & Laurens
from Laurens to Charleston. He said
that heavier rails and heavier roadbeds
would be necessary for the class of
freight to be hauled.
Mr.. Brock was asked what had been
done towards constructing the South &
Western road. He replied: "The South
& Western has about ninety miles of
track completed and in operation. 1t
commences at Elkhorn, KY, and goes
direct to Spartanburg. The distance
between these points is approximately
three hundred miles. The completion
of the road from Elkhorn to a point
in South Carolina or Georgia means the
opening up of more than three hundred
thousand acres of coal lands"

Anderson, Nov 19.-The South &
Western Railroad has practically made
arrangements with the Charleston e.
Western Carolina road to use the tracks
OF the latter between Spartanburg and
Greenwood, via Laurens, sixty miles in
length. There has been no effort on
the part of the South & Western Off
Gals to buy outright the tracks of the
Charleston & Western Carolina road.
MIR. j. A. Brock, president of several
Anderson cotton mills and a director in
the Charleston & Western Carolina
road, gave this information to this cor
respondent today when he returned
from a directors meeting of the road
held in Charleston yesterday.
The purpose of the South & Wes-
tern people was not brought up at the

said Nh. Brock.

told me that President Carter, of the
South q Western road, he'd approached
him on two occasions to get trackage
arrangements between Spartanburg
and Greenwood, via Laurens.
walters said that while the con-
tract had not been signed it has been
practically arranged for a track be-
tween ~Spartanburg and Laurens to be
let to the South & Western. Mr.,
Walters says that the people backing
the South & Western road have money
and mean business"
Mr.. Brock was asked what the South
q Western would do after it got to
Greenwood. He replied, 81 do not
know, and | do not think Mr.. Walters
does.' 1t is said, however, in railroad
