JUDGE MEMMIHeER DIsMIssEs JURY.
Refuses to Allow Men to Serve Who
Failed to Convict Those Admitting
Carrying Weapons.

Colum bIa. 8. c.. July 14.-A special from
Yorkville. says: Judge MemmiDger this
morning dismissed q panel Of York county
jurors as unfit for further service In his conrt
becaus 1t had deliberately failed to convict OF
carrying concealed weapons In case where
two defendants openly admitted that they
had pistols. -.
The case grew out Of picnic row at Tirzah
last August Swhere there was promiRcuous
shooting and two Russells and q Robinson
had been indicted for assault and battery
with intent 4 10 kill and carrying concealed
irg testimony In the case, but both OF the
Ruasells admitted that they had pistols.
The jury last night brought In verdict OF
not guilty on all counts. This morning
Judge Memminger had the jury called and
quickly told It that II II saw At to make IT,

such verdict be did not propose to allow II

told the members Of the panel to consider

The jurors we're dumbfooDded for q few
moments and finally left the court room very
much crestfallen. Judge Memmipgers action

HEAVY INCREASE IN kaooNsH!NlHe.
During Past Year GIG Stills Destroyed
in Georqia Alone,

Atlanta Georgian and News, July 16
Startling increases In the making of
moonshine whisky are shown in the
annual report Of Revenue Agent Jas.
H. Surber. which has just been for
warded to Washington
During the fiscal year of 1909, just
closed, more illicit distilleries were de-
stroyed in Georgia than were destroyed
in the states of Mr., Surber's division
Georgia, Alabama, Florida and part of
Mississippi-last year,
In the. year just closed the revenue
men under Mr., Surber raided and de-.
stroyed ST2 distilleries in the division,
distributed as follows: Georgia, GIG
Alabama, 231: Florida, "a, and Mis-
sissippl, l.
Only 42O stills were destroyed in the
entire division in 1907 and in 1908 only
40.
The report also shows that during
the year $50, 900 worth Of property has
been destroyed, several hundred gal
Ions of whisky thrown away and sew.
eral hundred more seized and sold at
public auction,
AS a result of the years work. Mr..
Surber has recommended over 400 per-
sons to the department of justice for
prosecution. The great increase in the
violation of the Federal laws concern
ing the manufacture of whisky is at
tributed by Mr.. Surber to the high
prices received for Illicit liquor since
prohibition went into effect Where
makers of this brand formerly receiv-
ed one dollar q gallon, they are now
getting one dollar quart for their
product.

.EMPTIES Dives
IN CHINATOWN. .
POLICE CAPTAIN DRIVES OUT WHITE
WOMEN AND CHECKS GAMBLING.
Landlords, in Fear Of Empty Tenements,
Are Much Concerned Now by the
Great Exodus,

New York, July Is Capt Michael J. Gal
vim, OF the Elizabeth street police station, has
Just taken census 9th Chinese quarter 10
nd out what effect his work OF cleaning mp
the district has had and how much longer
Chinatown would continue to be the grand
Saturday 10 Monday reso-t for the Chinese OF
the metropolitan district. He found that
more than one-half OF the former deniZsns OF
little more than one thousand CbinameD
living, where three months ago nearly three
thousand were crowded together.
Ofthose remaining nearly every one is In
arrears for his rent, some one month and
some two months. Since July lst landlords
In Chinatown have been coming To Capt.
Calvin. com planning that rents were unpaid
and asking him to help them make oollec-
lions. Many OF the reputable Chinese also
have appealed for help 10 pay their rent.
But the most pleasing showing to the
captain is In the great falling on In Inc num-
ber OF ont OF town Chinese who visit China.
put IN comm mahd Of the precinct Chinatown
averaged between 5000 and 5000 out Of town
Chinese visitors every Sunday. The police
census on Sunday showed less than 600 such
visitors.
Three months ago CIpt Calvin was sent to
the Elizabeth street station, and Inspector
DAILY was put In charge Of the inspection
district. Gen. Bingham sent for Inspector
DAILY and told him that he wanted gambling
and djsorderly women cleaned out Of China
town. A series ofraids began at once.
Hand in hand with the raids went tn e
driving out Of the white women. Captain
Calvin set date when white women who
could not produce certificates of marriage To
Cinnamon must leave the quarter. Promptly
on the date set they we're made TO pack up
and move. The result is seen In the vacation
Of I25 apartments by these women in the last
two monthp. - '.
Chinatown landlords are not yet satisfied
that the new police administration stands for
clean Chinatown. The Italians will pay
only about 40 per cent ofthe rent that can be
drawn from the Chinese and III o landlords
are loath 10 give up their high rents before
they are sure that conditions will change
Now that General Bingham is out and Tam
many il in full power in Mulberry street, the
landlords are telling the Chinese to take
heart and hold Off for better times.

500 bushels on I acres.

Mr.. ]. A. Ellis OF Long Cane townsh hip
promises to take the rag off the bush in the
matter of raising corn. Mr.. Ellis ~ quiet,
ditident man himself and this Information
does not come from him but, from one OF his
near neighbors.
MIR. Ellis has seven acres of corn, planted
and worked on the Williamson plan. He
used no fertilizer when the corn was pl anted
but since the corn came up he has applied
1900 lbs OF guano and 400 lbs. o! nitrate OF soda
10 IT.
The corn is about or lOinches In the drill
1t Is said that 900 bushels Is safe estimate for
the seven acres.
Many farmers are going 10 examine the
CORP and see tor themselves how 1t has been
worked.
II one man can do this another can do the
same thing. There Is no potent right on
making corn and the farmers want TO make
the most corn at The least expense. This par
ticular crop Is being watched with great
deal OF interest. Five hundred bushels on
seven acres, and in Abbeville County upland
fields too!
