ganiZe Revolt.

New York. April 26.-Western
railroads are growing FESTIVE under
the dictaticn of E. H. Hartman, who
for years has forced them to make
the same freight rates from the Mid
die West and from the Missouri river
to the Pacific Coast as are made by
the railroads at the Atlantic sea-

0NA Lee TAYLOR WINS PIANO

As announced in the Courier last
week Ona Lee Taylor was far and
away the leader in the Sixth dis
trict in the Review subscription con-
test and was eighth in the general
ranking. She gets her choice in
the prizes the Schulz player piano
which the musical men here say is
worth $500 and also $40 in cash,
the draft for which was received this
morning. Her total vote approx
mated one million higher than
Wenatchee, North Yakima and
many other larger towns closer to
Spokane.
BY reason of being district leader
she will have the expenses of a trip
to the Fair and to nearby Puget
Sound points paid for her and her
companion. She receives also some
minor prizes. The record she and
the locality made is one to be proud
of. Miss Taylor authorizes us to
thank the people of Kennewick,
Richland, Hover and Finley for
their enthusiastic support and to
make special mention for the large
number from the country round
abaut who helped out with the
Twice a-Week subscriptions and re-
dewals. The group of business men
who subscribed for the daily yeal
III advance when it counted 10000
voted to the subscription, boosted
the figures the more rapidly and a
corresponding gratitude is extended
to them. The showing demonstrates
the ability of our people to get to-
gethcr and capture what they set
out to get, The winner of the first
prize, Lock Patterson, had four mil
lion votes and the total votes of all
candidates was just below forty mil
lions. The contest was undoubted-
ly big paying fe.-ture for the Re
view. That paper now claims a cir
culation Of lie, 900.

QUEER COMPLAINT FROM AIKEN.
Prohibition Georgia Charged With
Flooding County With Liquor.

Aiken, September 1O:-The offic'
ers and constables of this county
have made a good deal Of complaint,
because, they allege, Aiken has been
made the dumping ground for Au-
gusta liquor since the prohibition
law went into effect on August 3.
Several days ago the constables were
busy watching the trolley cars out of
Augusta, and it is estimated that in
one day 500 quarts of liquor were
brought from Augusta. On one car
there were 130 passengers, and near
ly all of them carried the familiar
looking packages. The constables
succeeded in capturing 13 quarts of
contraband goods.
The fact is that the law is being
rigidly enforced in this city and Vi
cinity, and not much of an opportu-
nifty is presented the blind tiger pa
irons for purchasing in this section.
The constables have kept in behind
them so closely that few violations
have been reported or heard of.
Despite the fact that some liquor
is bought from other places, the pro-
hibition law has seemingly created
sentiment IN it's favor in Aiken
county. Drunkenness has about gone
out of style, only two or three cases
being reported since the law went
into effect.

Aiken, September 11:--The first

days has witnessed a carnival of
fights, rows, drunks and disorders.
Many arrests have been made to-day
and the police force has been kept
busy, as we'll as several extras on
the force.
Besides drunken rows between
negroes, several while men are in
volved in disorders. There have been
considerably more drunkS to-day
than for the entire period in which
the dispensary was closed. One of
the largest crowds that has visited
the city in some time was here to-day.
though had it been announced that
the dispersary would open, it would
have doubtless been larger, as many
were ignorant of its opening.

STATE BOARD SUSTAINS ELECTION.
Rutledqe County Loses Out 5oih In
williamsburg and Clarendon Counties.


There was general satisfaction
here Saturday Afternoon when tele-
grams were received by the editor OF
The Record flum Messrs Leroy Ice
and NJ l. Smith announcing the re-
suit of the Rutledge county protest
before the State board Of canvassers
in Columbia.
1t will be remembered that on the
face of the returns the new county
ties lost out both in Clarendon and
Williamsburg counties. In Clarendon
the county board of cauyassers de-
clared the result of the election to
be against Rutledge county and the
new county attorneys, Messrs r II
Welch and W L Bass, appealed to
the State board of canvassers.
In Williamsburg, albeit the new
county was defeated by substantial
majority, the county board of can
vassers-or two of them, at least
declared the election null aud void
on account of irregularities and il.
legalitles" anil added "that another
election must be held" After hear
ing ali the testimony Saturday the
State board of canvassers, by unan-
imous vote, sustained the Clarendon
board of canvassers and reversed the
Williamsburg board, So that Rut-
ledge county lost out completely.
We understand that the attorneys
for the new county will appeal to the
supreme court.
Be that as it may, the feeling here
is that Rutledge county is dead ls'
sue for at least four years and MeSsrs
Lee & Askins are receiving congrat-
ulatlons on every hand for their
splendid management of the case.
We happen to know that when Mr.
M L Smith-one of the brainiest
lawyers of the State, who is especial
lY well up in election contests, hav-
ing recently conducted several cases
before the supreme court-was called
into this case he concurred entirely
in the opinion of Messrs Lee & AS.
kins and complimented them highly
on the very able preliminary work
they had already accomplished.
With such counsel to look after
their interests and the prestige of
having won out before the State
board of cauvassers,t the opponents of
the new county can afford to rest
easy as to the final outcome of the
contest.
The Clarendon end of the contest
was capably looked after by j H
Lesesne, Esq, as attorney for the
opponents of Rutledge county.
