John Redmond the Master.

(From the London Daily Mail.)
If there is any man in England who
should feel proud today it is John
Redmond. He is the master of As
quith, who is the master of the Lib
eral party, and who is preparing to
exercise an absolute tyranny over this
country. He is the "boss' who pulls
the strings, and for whom the pup
pets of the Cabinet work This spec
tacle of British prime minister's de-
scent to be the tool of an Irish fac
ZIONIST is intolerable enough. but it
becomes shameful when, at the order
of Mr.. Redmond, Mr.. Asquith is COM
PEELED to violate every constitutional
principle, and to drag the crown into
the party arena. The ignominy is all
the greater because the Irish party
on every occasion proclaims its bitter
hostility to this country, and because
1t is financed by enemies of England
In the United States. 1t is then. to
please the foes Of the empire. that this
affront is to be offered to the head Of
our state, and that the British con-
suIuuon is TO be DESTROYED

An Anti-Irish Conspiracy.
(From the London Leader,


Although there is a certain tradi-
non OF retcence in all government
departments, we hope that the prime
minister and Mr.. Churchill will leave
no stone unturned in order to place
before the public every particle of in
formation about the anti-Irish con-
spiracy that the resources Of the homo
office can yield. The disclosure of Sir
Robert Anderson is needed merely to
vlndicate the Irish leaders-that has
been amply done already The urgent
necessity is to make known the real
nature Of the conspiracy itself, and
to rehabilitate the honor Of the Brit
ish government by imposing upon all
the offenders the severest penalties
that public opinion can impose. The
conspiracy TO defame the good name
of Ireland and embitter her relations
with England is by no means extinct.

A Much Discussion anestInn.

Why are the trousers that sailors
wear SO wide at the bottom? That
question has been asked over and over
again, and, strange as it may seem. no
one not sailor knows exactly how to
answer it. seafaring man who is
pretty well informer in questions of
this kind says it grew out of the old
time custom of cutting out sailors
trousers on shipooard, when the cut
ter would simply run the shears
straight down the cloth without maxi
ing any attempt to give the leg shape.
This was due partly to haste and part
ly to Indifference to style Another
plausible explanation is the following:
Sailors frequently have to row ashore
and barefooted step into the water and
pull their boat up on the beach. The
width of their trouseds at the bottom
allows them to roll their trousers high
to keep them dry

morning when Former County Judge
Jesse Tomlinson and Bruce Amis en-
gagged in an alteration in front of
the Maury National Bank. Several
blows were struck and Mr.. Tomlinson
received some severe bruises on the
neck and face but was not seriously
hurt. The affair was the result Of a
political discussion. The lie is said
to have been passed whereupon Mr..
Tomlinson struck at Mr.. Amis and the
latter, who is a man OF powerful
build. retorted in kind several ticks
landing on Mr.. Tomlinson. Mutual
friends interfered and the parties were
separated. The affair created quite a
stir and several sensational reports
were in circulation as to the nature
and extent of the injuries received by
Mr.. Tomlinson but these proved to be
wholly without foundation for that
gentleman, who is candidate for
county Judge, continued his canvass
as though nothing out of the ordinary

JAKE SHAFFER UNDER ARREST

Charged with violating the prohibi-
ton ordinance of the City of Column
bia, Jake Shaffer was Thursday night
arrested by Deputy Goad and Police
officers Morgan and Stages ard land
ed in the city jail. While large
quantity of booze found stored in his
residence was seized and brought 10
the police station as material evil
dence.
The assortment of liquors is the
most startling ever seized by local
officers. There are 81 sealed quarts
and 46 sealed pints of whisky and 10
quarts of beer, The quarts OF whisky
are wrapped in white paper, the pints
in red, while the beer is wrapped In
dark colored paper, the exact hue OF
which would be difficult to name.
Looking out through the steel bars OF
a cage where it has been placed for
safe keeping the liquor looks good for
much conviviality, and is certainly Q
handsome stock.
Deputy Sheriff Goad, who worked
up the case, has been keeping an eye
on incoming shipments, and had
learned that two barrels of wet goods
had been delivered to Shaffer, at his
home on Galloway street, near the
railroad. Last night he stationed him
self near the place, and had not long
to wait before a white man appeared
and raped on the door. The onicer
saw the sale made, and proceeded at
once to get the witness, whose name
is Lee Tucker. After questioning
Tucker, who is said to have admitted
making the purchase, Deputy Goad
took precautions to see that he did
not escape, and then notified the POI
lice. Armed with search warrant
and accompanied by City Marshal Nor
gan and Police Officer Stages, the
deputy returned to the Shaffer home
and arrested Shaffer and took possess
sion OF the booze, which was hauled
to the police station in wagon. Shaf-
fer is said to have denied that he had
the liquor for purpose of sale. but
claimed that he had it for private con-
sumption.
The liquor was shipped in barrels,
lined inside with corrugated paste
board, and packed with excelsior.
Shaffer was arraigned in police court
Friday morning and pleaded guilty.
He was fined $50 and costs in one
case by Recorder Erwin and $500
and costs in the other cases, two
charges having been preferred against
him. He was Immediately re-arrested
by the state for violating the state
prohibition laws.

LOCAL POSTOFHCE
RECEIPTS EXCEED ALL
FORMER RECORDS
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY
REVENUES WERE OVER
$4,000.
JACKSON TO GET SALARY RAISE
Indications Are That Postmaster And
Assistant Will Both Share in Pros
perity at End Of Uncle Sans Fis-
cal Year.

That Columbia has enjoyed pc
riod of unusual prosperity during the
past twelve months is fully attested
by the post Office receipts during that
period. For the first time in the his
tory of the local office the receipts
have passed the $4,000 mark. For
the year ending on December 81, the
receipts of the office were $20,265.09
as compared with $19,S44.91 for the
year ending Dec. 81, 1908. This is
gain for the year Of more than $1,000
and is above five per cent increase.
The governments fiscal year for its
post office department ends on March
81. and should Postmaster Jackson's
receipts be as good for the coming
quarter as they were for the same
quarter of last year the receipts for
the fiscal year will be $500 above the
$4,000 mark. Should they equal the
same quarter for 1908 they will be $74
above that mark. This means that
the postmaster will receive 500 salary
increase on June 80, when the next
salary list is made up. Not only that,
but the assistant will get another 800
raise in salary. That would make the
salary of the Postmaster $4,000 and
that OF the assistant $1,000 year
With the exception of the quarter
ending June 80, every quarter for the
year shows an increase in receipts
over the previous year and the loss in
the quarter excepted was light, being
less than 500. The receipts for 1909
and 1908 by quarters is shown in the
