Beer Account Compromised.

CHARLESTON, Dec. 13-At special
meeting of city council tonight q res
olution was adopted, asking the State
dispensary board to settle the beer
account with the city and county OF
Charleston on basis of a cash settle.
ment by j. S. Farnum for the sum of
$4,000 for the period between JAN
uary, 1902, and October, 1905, the
city and county having agreed IN con,
ference with interested attorneys and
representatives of the American
Audit company to take this sum.
The claim as made out against
Farnum for unpaid royalties and al
lowances of rebates by the State dis
pensary commissioners aggregates
S29, ,897.5 Of this amount the claim
for unpaid royalty, amounting to
S9,6l5.14, was practically admitted
by Farnum, but the other claims
were contested.
Corporation Counsel Moffet ex-
pressed the opinion that the action
of the commissioners was illegal, as
they had no right to allow Farnum
rebates and then make the city and
county pay the cost. However, to
enforce settlement in full meant a
lawsuit and the city and county de-
cided to accept the compromise.

Another Move In Saluda Case.

In the supreme court last Friday
afternoon motion was made to sus-
pend the appeal in the case against
Alfred Free and w. l. Henderson, in
order that a motion for a new trial
might be made. Free and Henderson
were tried for the killing of M. M.
Morse, in Saluda county, Free get
ting a sentence Of 10 years and Hen
derson 12 years in the penitentiary.
The case attracted considerable at
tention in Saluda county, and there
were two mistrials before the YER
diets were brought in. The case has
also been before the supreme court
on the ground that the presiding cir,
cult Judge erred in his charges and
that Free was fully 200 yards distant
from the scene Of the shooting and
that Morse opened fire on Hender-
son iii the affray that followed.

Pardon Asked.

Gov. Ansel has received q petition
for the pardon of Clarence Thrailkill
of Saluda county. Thrailkill is now
serving sentence Of three years on
the chaingang in that county, and
the petition recalls the history OF a
noted criminal case, which has been
in the courts several times.
Clarence Thrailkill and his father,
Morgan Thrailkill, were tried for
the killing of Ben Burton near Mo-
Meta on April 27, 1904. Clarence
was convicted of manslaughter and
sentenced to three years and his
father was sent up for life and is now
serving sentence. After the trial it
was charged that Clarence Thrailklll
was not made to serve sentence on
the chaingang, but was allowed the
freedom of the community and that
the law was not therefore carried
out. In the meantime an appeal was
made to the supreme court tor a
new trial, but this was refused and
Gov. Hayward ordered that the SEN
tence of the court be carried out to
the letter.
The petition to Gov. Ansel states
that Thrailkill was but II years old
when the crime was committed; that
he has served a greater part Of the
sentence and that the people Of the
community feel that he has been
punished sufficiently.

KILLING IN MARION.
Man Named Shooter Shoots Down
Joseph HarrellS0n.

MARION, Dec. l9.-There was a
killing near Pages Mill, in the
county, on Tuesday evening. From
the reports which have reached here
it seems that Messrs. Joseph Harrell-
son and Foster Smith went to the
residence of Frank Shooter; that
they had been drinking before they
went and all parties continued to
drink after that.
Finally a difficulty arose and Smith
and Harrellson left, one Of them
threatening to return with his
Winchester. Later Harrellson did
return, and he was shot down by
Shooter as he was entering Shooters s
door-Shooter using a double barrel
shotgun. All the parties to this un-
fortunate affair are white, respect
able and we'll connected. (,
Mr.. Shooter came in to-day and
gave himself up to the sheriff, and
it is understood that he will I'M
mediately apply for bail.

Humor ana Philosophy
By DUNCAN NJ. SMITH


The Christmas present problem
Looms largely just ahead
When winter is approaching
And summer days have fled.
A man must spend like water
His coin for that and this,
AS though it were pleasure
He really wouldn't miss.
A fellow wouldn't guess 1t
Until he stops to jot
The names Of all the nieces
And nephews he has got
And sort Of takes a census.
That no one may be missed,
To see how many children
Are on the present list.
There's nothing in his family
To bring on it disgrace
That savors just a trifie
OF suicide Of race.
For little olive branches
Are lying everywhere
When there are signs suggestive
OF Christmas in the air.
It's up to him to scurry
Where toyshops lie in wait
And load himself with knickknacks
And other kinds Of freight,
A rubber doll, a watch charm,
A book and china cup.
For Christmas is approaching.
And he must loosen up.

A GOOD IDEA.
Aforementioned Lyon to Take lnno-
vation in Engrossing Department.

Attorney-General Lyon to Take inno-
vation in Engrossing Department.
COLUMBIA, Dec. 12.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Lyon is arranging to have at
least some of the work in the en-
crossing department this year done
by typewriters. He finds that there
is nothing in the law to require the
old way Of copying by hand every
bill and resolution that is introduced,
and while he does not propose to
make any radical innovations, he
thinks it will be we'll to give the leg
islators an object lesson, so he will
secure several typewriters and COM
petent girls to manipulate the ma
chimes and have the joint resolutions
and other measures of temporary
character copied in that way. The
members of the general assembly
can then see how the plan works and
if they desire they can have all the
copying and engrossing done III that
way.
Mr.. Lyon also finds that there is
no warrant in law for the large
sheets of paper which are used for
engrossing bills and he will endeavor
to secure more convenient forms pre-
pared for the purpose.
There are several reasons urged
for retaining the old system in the
engrossing department, which may
be stated as>follows:
l. It has always been done that
way. The legislator who advances
this reason ought to come to the ses-
sion on horse back, no matter how
far his home is. ...
2. It is formality which should be
preserved. The legislator who ad-
vances this argument should wear
his hair long and powdered.
8. 1t gives employment to worthy
girls and matrons The answer to
this is that worthy girls and matrons
would still be found useful and nee
essary if the system Of typewriting
the bills were adopted, because
worthy girls and matrons are the
stenographers in the great majority
Of Offices.
A bill introduced last year provl-
ded that the court stenographers
should come here each year and do
the work of the engrossing clerks,
but this is manifestly impractical,
since the court stenographers have
more than they can do promptly
now.
If Mr.. Lyon will institute a more
business like system in the engross-
ing department, he will greatly facil-
itate the work of the general assem-
bly, and will injure no one.

WUNG HB HOOK SAVA0NL1 DoHN"ASS'
years old and built like man Of iron,
became suddenly crazed as q result OF
tee much rum Darling out Of his
lodging house, 60 Summit place, he ran
almost to the waters edge, shouting at
{ The top OF his voice.
g Near the foot of Hamilton street he
seized bale hook and stood his
ground, mumbling and shrieking In his
Swedish dialect and brandishing his
weapon.
Robert Stevens, thirU-fiye years old,
living at 1875 Columbia street, was the
3 frst to get near him.
anderson knew Of Stevens prowess
and evidently did not relish a combat
WITH his powerful frame. He had
enough sense left to know that he'd
have a better chance in the water with
Stevens, who is six feet tall and mus
scaiar. SO Anderson jumped in the river
carving his hook with him. Stevens
followed. He dived directly where An
deFson's form was last seen.
No one knows just what happened
under the water. Several persons who
gathered on the pier say that every
few seconds an arm or leg would ap-
pear above, and once Stevens face
arose, showing great cash down the
right side. Once Anderson reached
the surface and swung his hook saw
: ageIy downward. A stiffness followed,
and only, bubbles showed that life re-
NAMED below the water. In a few
seconds Stevens came up and feebly
cried for help.
Charles Walsh, who had arrived dur
ing the struggle and was vainly try
ing to learn the cause Of the excite
ment, jumped In. He found one OF
Stevens hands clutching the Swede by
the meek. Anderson was unconscious,
1 and Stevens was fast losing the little
strength that remained. Walsh tied
a rome about Anderson's body, and he
was pulled ashore Several men jump
ed into the river and dragged Stevens
to safety.
Stevens face and head were mass
OF cuts and bruises. Blood poured pro-
fssely from a deep cut in his face,
and his arms and shoulders were
barred of their clothing. Anderson
showed effects, too, of the fearful con-
test under water. His face was bat
tered and bruised, and both his eyes
were closed
An ambulance of the Long Island
hospital was called, and both men
were given medical attention. DR..
Doyle said that Anderson may die as
q result Of his injuries.
Stevens told the police that the man
bit and gouged him with the hook
and that several times he was about
to give up. He says he overcame An
derson only by wrenching the hook
from his hands. Anderson without the
weapon was no match for him.
