Busy Readers.
RESUME OF PAST WEEK
Current Events OF Interest i'm This
State Selected and Briefly Noted
For Advertiser Readers.

Columbia.-It is very likely that the
claims of the whiskey houses against
the county dispensaries will be at
tached so as to hold the money firmly
until the matter can be finally thresh-
ed out in the supreme court. Any
statement made at the present time is
all problematical, for it is doubtful if
any one knows the whiskey situation
thoroughly. The claims held up as a
result OF the resolution of the commits
sion are in the instances where the
whiskey firms did business with the
county dispensaries and the old state
dispensary. and whose claims were
wiped out against the state and over
judgments found.
AS near as can be learned the sum
of $4,000 was held up by the commits
sion's resolution, 100000 in the coun-
ties. which have voted out the dispen-
sa: ay system and about $4,000 in
those retaining the shops.
There are a number of firms involv-
ed in the hold-up process, and it is es-
timated that in many cases the amount
OF claims held up will exceed the over
Judments. or course, under these cir
cumstances all over and above the ov-
er-judgments will be paid to the whis-
key houses, should the state win in the
contest.
Dispensaray Auditor West said to-
day that the firm of Meyer, Pitts & Co
of Baltimore, had a claim of 50 900
against the IIaurens county dispen-
Sary board, which had never been paid
and that this amount was held up
along with the others as an over-iudg-
ment was found against this house
The dispensaray was voted out in Lau-
renS county several months ago, but
the affairs of the institution have new
er been wound up.
The question has been asked over
and over, and there are many who
wish to know where the money that
has been held up, with reference to the
claims against the county dispensa-
ries will go should action of the com
mission be upheld by the courts. This
money, according to attorneys, will go
to the state treasury, as a part of the
disrensary fund. and thence to the va
rious prescribed ends. In other words
taking Laurens county for an example
should the courts decide in favor of
the state in the claim of the Meyer
Pitts company, then the $4,000 now
held by that county would be paid to
the state. in place of the Baltimore
whiskey house.
The commission will meet again in
a few days, and it is probable that
the matter of claims will be taken up
and some definite policy as to the flu
ture mapped out.
From statements that have been
made, it is thought that more money
will soon be forthcoming to the state
as restitution money from the whisky
houses who did business with the dis
pensary board for number Of years

RISING PLANNED
FOR NEXT SUNDAY

San Antonio. Texas. Nov. 1Z.-FederaI
secret service officers who have been
working here for the last several days
today learned many details OF the rev.
dictionary plot in part uncovered by
the Mexican government general
rising along the border from NOgales
Arizona, TO Brownsville, Texas, was set
for Sunday, November 20. NOgales is
headquarters of the junta operating in
Sonora. 1t has been In existence since
the raid on Las Vacas two years ago.
The brains Of the revolutionary move
ment are In the United States and
Europe. The revOlutionists are backed
by a seemingly ineXhaustible supply of
money which has been used to purchase
arms in this country.
Federal authorities in Washington
were appraised OF these facts, but as yet
the reVOlutiOnists have committed no
act that can be constituted as overt
under the federal statutes. Consign-
ments of arms are under surveillance
in San Antonio and elsewhere. When
an attempt is made 10 take them across
the border they viii be seized.
According TO federal officers here the
revolutionary propaganda is:
The release of all political prisoners.
The establishment Of a popular gov
eminent.
Removal from office OF Diaz and his
adherents.
