were qualified voters, to which both
sides replied that they were not posi-
tive as to all the signers. But, as a
matter of fact, they are not all quail
fed voters.
Mr.. Thornhill said that everybody
kicked about taxes being SO high. He
said that the bridge toll to Columbia
for liquor alone amounted to more
than $500 year and of this amount
the people of Brookland contributed
at least $1,000. He said that rich and
poor high and low, all drank whiskey
that he took drink himself when he
felt like it. The town and county
alike needs the revenue. Brookland
is the largest town in the county and
needs the dispensary most. Is in
favor of liquor; plenty of it here when
he came into the world and he hoped
plenty of it would be here when the
final summons came.
Mr.. Swygert said the town was
without lights and needed the liquor
money.
This ended the discussion and the
petitions were filed with the board.
In the absence of one of it's mem
bers yesterday, the chairman of the
board declined to give out for publ
cation the number of signers for and
against the dispensary, but it is gen
orally conceded that the prohibition
lists are largely in the majority.
The board will meet again Monday
at which time they will announce
their decision.

MERCHANT MURDERED
ON THE STREET.
R. T. Wescott Shot Down on His Way
to Work in City of Columbia.

r. I. WeScott Shot Down on HIS way
to Work in City Of Columbia.
Columbia has had another tragedy
as mysterious, deplorable and start
ling as has ever occurred in that city.
Thursday morning just at dawn Mr..
r. T. Wescott, who resides in Shan
don and runs meat market in the
city, was shot down on the street not
far from where the terrible tragedy of
a few weeks ago when Chas. B. Green
killed Edgar Marshall and was him
self slain, occurred, his dead body
being found by his son who was pre-
ceding his father to help him deliyer
meat. The news quickly spread over
the city and it was not long before
the sheriff, coroner and other officers
were on the scene. Everybody in the
community heard the shots, but like
in the Marshall Green case, paid no
attention as it is nothing unusual to
hear pistol reports in the section
where the crime was committed.
It is believed that Mr.. Wescott had
a large sum of money on his person
at the time he was killed. as the day
previous was the first day of the
month when collections are usually
good. However, when his body was
discovered only go cents in small
change was found in his pockets, which
goes to prove that the motive Of the
crime was robbery.
On Friday a young white man by
the name of Gardner, whose reputa-
tion is bad and who has been fire.
quent visitor at police court, was
arrested upon warrant sworn out by
the father-in-law of Wescott, charg-
ing him with the crime. He is sGill
held by the police for further investi-
cation when the coroner again takes
up the case Friday night.

son.in-law Kills Father-in-law

B. F. Fortner, an aged farmer liv-
ing near Pelzer in Anderson county,
was shot and killed by his son-in-law,
Neal Banks, about noon Saturday.
It is said that Banks owed Fortner
a. board bill of $500 which he refused
to paw. He went to FORMERS house
to get his trunk, but Fortner would
not turn it over to him without the
$500. Without further provocation
Mills drew his revolver and fired four
shots into the body of his father-in-
law, killing him instantly.

the typical old time mining camp of

saloons run "a hours and the gam

revelry can be heard in the dance

the voice of the floor managers as he

lady" is frequent and raucous. The
waltz may be dreamy, but IL is of
the nightmare kind. and is certainly
not long-as II is four bits a whirl,

the bar.
There is one thing though that
puts Goldfeld out of the Bret Harte

candy shop but there are a dozen
neat little tables, and a half dozen
neat little 'bartenderesses," who will

Storing Seed Corn.

The selected ears should be put ira
dry, airy place, where they can dry out
naturally. Artificial drying should not
be resorted to unless in cases where
there is not time for natural drying be-
fore severe frosts are liable to occur.
When the ears are still sappy the appli-
cation of artificial heat may easily do
harm by inducing fermentation, a very
little of which will ipjure the germs and
cause weakness. There are many ways
in which corn may be safely put up for
drying. A good rack may be made OF
pieces of five or six inch fence lumber
set on end and common plastering laths
nailed across the edges on either side
opposite each other, spaced six inches
apart to convenient height. A single
row of ears should be placed in each
space at first, to permit Of more rapid
drying. Tying two ears together by the
husks and hanging them over wires
stretched foot or more apart across a
dry room is an excellent system for dry
ing. Whatever the scheme used for dry
ing, the important thing to keep in mind
is that each ear must have free circula-
ton of air all around it. Putting the
ears in bags or piling together in any
way must be avoided. If the corn can
be made dry before freezing weather and
then kept in dry place throughout the
winter, it will be in perfect condition in
the spring. Seed corn should never be
put into building containing live stock
of any kind because of the moisture
given off by the animals.

A Horse Swindle.

In several cities in the East, notably
in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Pitts
burg, systematic business of horse
swindling has been carried on recently
and many team owners have been VIC
timized. The men conducting the job
when arriving in the city advertise in
the daily papers that they have purchas-
ed several score of auto trucks and have
therefore no further use for the hundred
or so of horses, which they offer for sale
at very low price. OF course, the
whole yarn is a swindle. The horses
offered for sale are invariably doped, and
the inspecting team owner discovers be-
fore long that he has been taken in. We
suggest to team owners that they steer
clear of any doubtful proposition of that
kind. Buy your horses from the well
known, reputable dealer, even il you
have to pay more; in the long run you
will find that by 80 doing you save
money.-Team Owners Review.
