Beer Situation in Charles
ton--Blind Tigers Formid-
able Rivals of Dispensary.

Columbia Record Dispen
sary Auditor West last night
made his report to Governor An
sci on his Investigation into the
beer situation in Charleston. The
report reveals a remarkable state
of affairs.
In brief, it shows that the
Charleston board is admittedly
Impotent to hold any sort OF a
monopoly of the business, which
the law guarantees to it, with
the result that the tigers, with
80 per cent OF the business, are
holding the county up for from
100000 to $4,000 in profits
which should go to the county
the board being afraid to tighten
the lines tor fear this would
drive what little business it does
control to the tigers. Fear OF
the tigers also appears to have
prevented the Charleston board
from considering outside bids for
furnishing beer, the Charleston
brewers controlling the situation
at prices above what the same
stuff brings elsewhere.
Mr.. West makes an interest
ing comparison along this line
between the situation in Rich
land and that at Charleston
Last year, with gross sales
amounting to $245, 900, the
net profits to Charleston was only
500, 900, whereas with gross
sales of a little over $91, 900
Richlsnd got net profits of over
$23, 900, although Charleston
gets license fees amounting to
over $4,000 from this source
beer is sold there at higher
price and Charleston has BIG

FINDS COSTLY MISTAKE.
Iowa Congressman Says
Tobacco Consumers Paid
as Millions too Much Tor
the Weed.

Washington, March 81 What
is designated as a 'joker" that
cost the consumers of tobacco in
this country nearly $45, ,000,O0
was found today in the existing
revenue laws of the United States
by Representative Dawson, of
Iowa, who at once introduced a
bill to correct the error.
Under the Dingley tariff law
the two ounce packages of tobacco
sell to the consumer at 5 cents
each and the four ounce packages
at 10 cents. In 1898, war
revenue tax OF 6 cents pound
additional was levied on tobacco.
AT the same time, in order so
serve the convenience OF the
trade, authorization was given
for the reduction of the sizes of
packages from 2, 3 and 4 ounces
to | 2.3, 2 l-2 and 3 1-3 ounces.
thus enabling the smoker to pro.
cure a 5-cent and a 10. cent pack
age of tobacco "at the store.''
In duo time, the revenue tax
was repealed. Somebody forgot,
MIR. Dawson believes, 20 restore
the PACK ages Of tobacco to the
original sizes, and hence, ever
since 1902, the consumer of to-
bacco has been paying the equiv.
alent of the war revenue tax TO
the manufacturers of tobacco.
Representa- ative Dawson figures
out that the purchaser of each
small package has been mulcted
out of l cent and the purchaser
of the larger of ? cents, and
hence the "joker" has cost the
consumer almost 45,00O,00O.
Mr.. Dawson's bill proposes to
restore the packages to the orig
inal sizes.

"ESMERALDA"
kershaw was Delighted with
Presentation OF the Popular
Drama by Lancaster's
Fine Amateur Company

From the Kershaw Era.
The Era last week gave the
names OF the Lancaster amateurs
who were to perform here iast
Friday night in the play, "Es-
meralda," " and il is therefore, ,un-
necessary that they be mention
ed again in connection with the
play, which was presented in
accordance with the announce
ment. Ii is deserving, however,
that We say something about the
successful manner in which they
acted their several parts. We
are especially glad that in re-
spOnse to the request in the Era
last week, they were greeted by
one of the largest audiences ever
present in the auditorium to
witness play and also that the
audience was appreciative both
OF the merits OF the play and the
music, and the skill of the per-
formers, who certainly acquitted
them selves most cTeditably in
their various roles. The play
which is copyrighted, is very
difficult OF rendition, especially
where the size Of stage and
stage settings are inadequate,
but despite these drawbacks our
Lancaster friends gave a per-
formance which has met nothing
but the praises OF those who
were 80 fortunate az to witness
it We are all glad that they
came and enjoyed themselves
here and we can say also that
we enjoyed having them come.
The receipts from sale OF tickets
Amounted to $1,000.

Southern Life Sells Its Busi-
ness to Jefferson Standard

Columbia State The Jeffer-
son Standard Life Insurance
company OF Raleigh, N. c., has
bought the Southern Life Insur-
ance Co., OF Fayetteville. n. c..
The Southern has been in the
public attention for some time
on account of having become in
volved through the trade made
by some of the officers OF the
company with the Seminole Sc
cnrities company whereby the
latter took over a controlling in
teiest.
All OF that is past history, az
we'll as the TACT that after giving
the matter consideration for three
months Commissioner McMaster
revoked he South Carolina Ii
CenSe OF the Southern Lille on the
ground that the Seminole trans
action showed "stock jobbiug"
and high finance" He also
censured two of the high officials
Of the Southern.
When informed of The sale last
night Mr. f. ii. McMaster, in-
surance commissioner for South
Carolina, said:
IL am very much pleased TO
learn of the purchase of the
Southern Lille Insurance com
Pany OF Fayetteville by the JEFF
fsrson Standard Life Insurance
company OF Raleigh.
"This means the reinsurance
of the policyholders of the for
mer in Jefferson Standard, which

companies.

Federal Military Prison Burned
Entire Regiment Necessary to
Guard Prisoners.
Leayenworth. Kan, April l.
1t took l,2OO United States sol
dlerS 10 maintain order and to
prevent the prisoners from es-
capiug during the fire which de-
stroyed four buildings of the
federal military prison here early
today. All OF the 500 prisoners
were marched out of their cell
houses when il seemed that the
whole prison certainly would be
destroyed and were held under
heavy military guard until the
fire was under control. Then
after some Of the cell houses had
cooled sufficiently, they were
marched back again. The fire
was discovered before midnight
by a sentry, who fired his pistol.
The fire call was sounded and the
entire garrison at Fort Leaven-
worth turned out. The Thirteenth
Infantry, armed with rifles, was
thrown around the entire prison.
When the fire started there was
glee among the prisoners. Let
1t burn" they yelled. The water
pressure was poor, and as the
water sputtered uselessly from
the hose, the prisoners laughed
and cheered. As the flames
neared the cell houses, the tone
of the prisoners changed and they
screamed "For Gods sake take
us away :" battering against the
steel bars in terror. The prison.
ers were marched from their cell
houses and held together under a
heavy guard in a farther corner
of the enclosure.

TARIFF TALK.
Members of House Continue
to Discuss Payne Measure
--Southerners Participate
in Debate.

Washington, March 81
Without any preiiminaries the
House today resumed considera-
tion of the tariff bill. The first
speech was made by Mr.. Nor
gan, of Missouri, who addressed
him self 10 the zinc schedule and
presented arguments tending to
show that the industry should
be protected.
Quoting from speech by
President TAFT that the primary
purpose of the tariff was that
more revenue may be provided
for the government, MIR. Brant-
ley, of Georgia, declared this to
be the true Democratic doctrine
The Payne bill, however, ne
said owing to the seclusion aud
secrecy under which it was franz
ed, carried on its face the stamp
of insincerity so far as its pur-
pose to provide revenue for the
government was concerned.
The primary purpose of the
bill, he contended, was not reve-
nue., but the maintenance OF the
Republican theory of protection.
Mr.. Brantley laid the present
deficit at the door of what he
! charged was Republican extrav-
agance.

vania, favoring a reduction on
