, or was suppressed some so odd wears
ago, yet the modern "hold-up" has
its prototype in the method of getting
money practiced by the COLLEGES and
"oppidans" of Elton. Arthur Duke
Coleridge gives an account of montem
in his Elton in the Forties."
The origin of montem is buried in
oblivion The first accounts of its
, practice date back to the time of
Henry VIII. 1t object was to gather
contributions to aid the lucky "col
leger" who led his class, and who was
called Captain of Montem." The
'cOllegers' of Elton are the students
preparing to Kings College on the
foundation established by the roval
endower of the school.
On Whitsun Tuesday the boys of The
school, dressed in picturesque cos
tunes, formed a procession to escort
the heroes of the day The chief hero
was. of course, the montem CAPTAIN.
whose election had taken place II DAYS
before in the evening of "Montem
Sure Night" To him all the fumes
collected through montem day were
given.
1t was in the gathering of these
funds that We can see the trace of re-
semblance to the modern tag day
Certain boys were chosen as collec-
tors; two of these were called salt
, bearers and commanded a force of
II boys called runners" All were
dressed in gay, and often beautiful
costumes. Each boy carried a painted
staff and a satin money-bag, and was
stationed on some point of the road
with orders to demand of every pas
serby a toll of money.
! In olden times a pinch of salt was
given as a receipt for every tax thus
levied; in later years ticket was
| given instead, and the money itself
was called salt" The cry of the tax
gatherers was Salt! Salt"
| The two salt-bearers had the more
; dignified duty of collecting from the
college authorities and guests. Each
of the II runners was accompanied
to his post by a hired attendant who
was armed. Such pr ecaution was
necessary, especially for the boys sta
[ toned at any distance from the COL
| lege, for such runner might be in
possession Of several hundred pounds
| before the day was over.
An average days collection amount
ed to 1000 pounds or more. This was

to pay for a breakfast for the first

school, If the captain did not happen

FARNUM NOT GUILTY, SAYS JURY
Verdict Was Brought i'm After About
Six Hours Dcliberation.
(Co. Imbia State, 26th.)

jim Farnum Is mot guilty" So
say the Jury of his peers" that tried
the beer king" of Soath Carolina,
the flashing figure Of the old dispen-
Sary days, the man accused OF brih-
ing former officers of that happily
dead institution, the State dispen-
sary, the man who was shown to
have received in six months 1884,
900 worth of business from a con-
Germ that did a business of about
$3,OO0,000 annually.
The jury was in consultation al
most six hours. 1t retired Just after
Judge Memminger made his charge,
which consumed about % minutL 9
This was about 1880 o'clock yester-
day morning, and just after court
convened at 4 o'clock for the after
noon session, the verdict was rem
dered.
1t could not be said that the ver-
dict was absolutely unexpected, that
is, beyond doubt, but 1t was ex-
tremely surprising that it should
have been brought in in such a COM
paratively short time. But as will
be seen from the statement Of one
of the jurors the minds of the men
were practically made up when they
went into the jury room.
A mistrial had been expected, even
although the evidence in the case
as produced by the prosecution was
very strong, and the arguments for
the state based on Facts and not nub-
dub. About eight out of every ten
citizens who said anything about the
case agreed that a conviction should
have resulted in view Of the show
ing made.
