He would not venture 20 state
whether or not the opinion handed
down meant that Wells hereafter
would be able 20 keep lakewood open

From other sources. however. Il IS
learned that the appellant. Wells. won

quash the warrant or the ground that

The Montgomery Advertiser
says that if it might be permitted

War Prices in the South.

In 1855 an ounce of quinine
could not be purchased ror less
than $1,000 in the south. Pro-
visions were simply enormous in
price. Here are just lew in
stances In February ham,
weight SO pounds, sold for ex-
actly $3.50, or at the rate of SIS
a pound. Flour was at $500 a
barrel.
Fresh fish retailsd all over at
IS a pound. and ordinary meal
was at $50 a bushel. Those who
lived in boarding houses paid
from 5000 to $500 month.
White beans retailed at $75 a
bushel. Tea went for anything
from $40 pound TO $50, and
coffee in like ratio, says Spare
Moments.
The most ordinary brown su-
gar was sold for $10a pound.
Ordinary adamantine candles
were sold for $40 pound. In a
cafe, breakfast was ordinarily
s1O. In April sugar went to 5000
barrel and articles of wearing
apparel sold, coats at $3.50,
trousers at 800, and boots at
$3.50.
Butter was SIS pound. Pota
toes went for 50 quart. Toma-
toes of the size of walnut sold
for $40 a dozen. Chickens varied
from $35 to $50 pair.
The prices on the bill of fare
of the Richmond rest aurant in
January, 1854, were Soup $3.50,
bread and butter $I.5G, roast
beef, plate, SO, boiled eggs SO,
ham and eggs $3.50, rock fish, a

SIS, raw oysters, a plate, So, fresh

So, tea, a cup, 50.
These figures are taken from
various sources and have the
virtue of accurancy, if nothing
else. Always was present the
fear of famine, and time again
did the soldiers donate a portion
of their rations, taken from their
apportionment in the field, to
relieve the pressing necessities.
The shrinkage of the currency
was, of course, responsible, and
some idea may be gathered from
story that went the rounds at
the time. A soldier galloped along
country road and a farmer
leaning over fence admired the
animal. He called to the trooper,
offering to buy the horse:
"Give you $4,000 for him,
Johnny" he said.
mot much, old man. / just

The Capital City.
Colurnbia's --latest Murder
Mystery---Cutting and
Shooting Scrapes - Ball
Team Wins Game at
Last.

Mr.. Editor: Another myste-
rious killing, which occurred
here Saturday, remains undevel-
oped. These are getting to be
too common in the Capital City.
An old negro, named Benson,
was found in a dying condition
and soon after died. Who did it?
Benson had just drawn pen
sion check for $53 and it is
thought that some one killed the
old negro to get his money.
Two negresses got into a fight
about a white man the other
day and one was badly cut with
a butchers knife.
A negro "chunked" a brick at
a white man Saturday and was
caught and arrested Monday.
A negro man shot at a woman
of his race five times "through
mistake" The negro thought the
woman was his wife. He aimed
badly, though, and didn't hurt
the negress.
But, Mr.. Editor, with all of
these Columbia is not such a
terrible town. Come down and
we believe you will see her good
qualities twice before you find
one not so admirable.
Ere this issue of The News
will have reached its out.of town
readers The Lancaster Graded
Graded Schools will have closed
another session. We hope it has
been successful.
Guess what9 The Columbia
"Sallie" League has really won
a game. Yes, after loss OF ten
straigbts the "chickens" captur.
ed the game this afternoon from
Savannah. Let us hope that
Columbia has lost the "hoodoo"
for "good and ALL" and that
they will start to "climbing the
ladder" and playing such excel.
lent ball that Mr.. Hugh Coffey
and all the ex-Columbia rooters
will turn their patriotism to Jay
Konzler's men again.
The Hyatt Park Casino was
to have opened last night but
the company which was travel
ing in their own boat "got lost"
and as yet haven't been found.
Come to Columbia and We'll
take you around the Belt. Then
YOU will know what it is.
Where is "Former Lancastrian?
We hope he is mourning so over
Columbia's baseball team that
he can't write.
Lancastrian.
