MAYOR GIVES the LIMIT.
ONE MAN FINED $4,000 FOR
SELLING WHISKEY.
Mayor Lee OF Spartanburg Breaks
the Record I'm the Cases against
George Dcarman. Alternative fine
More Than ii Years.

Spartanburg, S. c., March 10
In the police court this morning
George Dearman, a we'll known young
man about town, was tried on 1855
counts of violating the whiskey or
dinance and was found gully on each
count and sentenced to pay a fine of
500 in each case or serve 80 days
in each case. His fines aggregated
$16,600, while the prison sentence
aggregated 4,9SO days, or a little more
than IA years.
1t was the heaviest sentence ever
imposed by a police judge in the Uni
ted States, being equal to that i'm
posed by Judge Landis United
States judge, who once soaked the
Standard Oil Company for fines that
reached 20 millions
The case against Dearman grew
out Of raid made by Lieutenant
Nolen and Privates Merrill and Nc
Abee last night, when the defendants
home on Wofford street was searched
and 166 pints of liquor were seized.
The liquor, it is said, was found in a
trunk. The police made out a case
against Dearman for every pint of
liquor they found in his house, which
they claim they had a right to do un-
der the city ordinance against storing
liquor.
When the case was called before
Mayor Lee this morning r. A. Han
non appeared for the defendant. The
attorney stated he was ready for trial
and the testimony Of the police Off
GERS was heard. After all the evidence
was in Mayor Lee found the defen-
dant guilty in 166 cases and sentenc-
ed him to pay fine of 500 or serve
30 days in each case. Mr.. Harmon
gave notice of appeal and asked that
his client be released on bond, which
was granted, bond being fixed in the
sum of 5000. Bail was arranged.
The case will probably be threshed
out in the Supreme Court. The po-
lice claim that If the ordinance under
which the cases were made ou,
against Dearman holds good in the
Supreme Court. the police department
will be able to put a stop to the sale
Of liquor in Spartanburg.
The case is in many respects one Of
the most unique that has ever been
tried In a police court in the State
and certainly never before has a po-
lice judge ever imposed a fine of $16,-
600 or IA years for the infraction Of
city ordinance. The final disposi-
tion Of the case will be watched with
interest.

PRICE TRIAL NOW IN PROGRESS
Third Time COIIctOn Man Has Faced
Jury.

WATERFORD, March 10.-One Of the
most interesting trials at this term of
court is that of Jim Price, charge 1
with the killing Of Willie Reddish,
near Williams, Colleton County, on
April 6, 1907. The trial began yes
terday afternoon and continued
through today. The State has com.
pleted the examination Of it's witness
es, and when court adjourned this
afternoon the defence had introduced
all of its testimony, except that Of the
defendant. This is the third time
Price has been tried, the juries failing
to agree in former trials.
Solicitor Peurifoy Is being assisted
by the Hon. James T.. Pcurlfoy,
MesSrs. Padgett, Lcmacks and Morr cr
and III. II. Padgett are conducting the
defence. 1t is very likely that the
case will be given to the jury tomor-
row afternoon. Many anxious per-
sons arc awaiting the verdict.

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM
1t Is an Internal Disease and Re.
quireS an Internal Remedy.

The cause of rheumatism and kim
dred diseases is an excess of uric acid
In the blood. To cure this terrible dis
ease this acid must be expelled and
the system so regulated that no more
acid will be formed in excessive uuan-
titles. Rheumatism is an internal
disease and requires an internal rem
edy. Rubbing with Oils and Lini-
ments Will not cure, affords only tenn
porary relief at best, causes you to
uelay the proper treatment, and al
lows the malady to get a firmer hold
on you Liniments may ease the pain
put they will no more cure Rheuma-
tlsm than paint will change the fibre
of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a
perfect and complete cure, which is
called "Rheumacide." Tested in hun
dreds of cases, it has effected the
most marvellous cures; we believe it
Will cure you. Rheumacide "gets at
the joints from the inside" sweeps
the poisons out of the system, tones
up the stomach regulates the liver
and kidneys and makes you we'll all
over. Rheumacide strikes the roots
of the disease and removes it's cause"

MAY ENTER RACE.
Senator u. l.. Hardin Urged to Offer
For Lieutenant Governor.

Chester, March 10.-There is a
strong movement on foot here to
have Senator =. l.. Harden, of this
county, enter the race for Lieutenant
Governor. Senator Hardin has a rec
ord of eight years service in the SEN
ate, and has the reputation among
his colleagues of being one of the
ablest and safest men in the entire
general assembly. He was a member
of the asylum investigating commit
tee. and his splendid work in that
connection entities him to recogni-
ton at the hands of the people of the
entire State. He has been urged to
run for railroad commissioner: but
Liuetenant Governor would be more
to his liking. He will be urged to
enter the race, and If he does it Is
safe to say that he will poll q heavy
vote in the up-ocuntry, at least.

Washington, March 10.-Aaron

No date has yet been set for hear

than to secure for the contestants the
usual fee Of $4,000. which was allow
ed for expenses. They have never
been able to show fraud, that they

not expected, therefore, that anything
unusual will come up at the present

VALUE OF FARM PRODUCTS.
Census Bureaus Statement Concer-
ming Methods Of Ascertainine IT.

ming Methods Of Ascertaining it.
Washington, March 12.-Inquiries
have been made of the Census Bu-
reau whether farm products should
be valued by farmers, in replying to
census enumerators, at the general
wholesale prices or at the actual
prices obtained by the producer. 1t
was pointed out by the inquirers that
many farmers sell a proportion Of
their eggs for breeding, at much
higher than the regular price. Others
sell part of all their milk, butter, and
cream, at retail. Quite a number sell
pure-bred livestock of various kinds
at more or less fancy prices. The Bu-
reau's correspondents are of the
opinion that if sales are quoted in
this way in the census reports, the
results might be somewhat uncertain
as basis for the average market
prices
Responding to these inquiries, Gen.
sus Director Durand states that in
forming it's inquiries and instructions
with reference to the value of domes-
tic animals and fowls, the Census Bu-
reau must necessarily follow the
lines laid down in the law governing
its action. That law requires the Bu-
reau to ascertain the number and
value of animals and fowls. The
value sought is not the value of some
particular class of animals or fowls,
but of all animals and fowls. 1t is
the amount at which the animals and
fowls can be sold. Good pure-blood-
ed animals will sell for more, and
thus have a greater value, than the
poor animals. Where there are many
pure -blooded, the average will be
higher than where the opposite con-
dition of affairs prevails, but, as
matter of fact, the pure-blooded ami
mails are so thoroughly distributed
that they left no appreciable influnece
upon the average published by the
Twelfth Census, except in the case of
the young colts of the state of New
Jersey.
No appreciable influence on the
average price or value Of eggs, milk
or butter is observed in consequence
of the practice mentioned by the in
Quirers. The high-priced eggs, milk,
butter, ETC., are found about as much
in one part of the country as in
another. The average which the
Census will publish is not that of n
particular class of eggs, but of all
eggs produced. 1t is the same for all
animals, fowls and animal products
The relative number and value Of the
animals and products to which speci-
hc attention has been called does not
exert, for the country as a whole or
for many Of the States an infiunece
Suflicient to make the average pub
lished by the census materially diff
ferent from the average market
prices.

The entries for the club run to Mali
bu ranch to be given by the Automo-
bile Club of Southern California, Sat
urday morning, April %, have reached
a point far beyond the expectations Of
the club run committee. Two hundred
cars representing a thousand people,
have been entered and it is safe to
say that there will be many more.
The cars will leave tomorrow morn
ing at o'clock from club headquar-
ters, 1923 South Hill street. With this
early start the last car should reach
Malibu by 11:3J or u m. All cars gath
cred at club headquarters will be given
pennants and banners.
The committees in charge are: Club
run committee: Messrs. Keller and
Andrews; entertainment committee,
Messrs. Fred Baker. George Cline, j.
s. Conwell and 5. Roger Stearns. The
entertainment committee are promis-
ing some very amusing stunts
among them being tire rolling con-
test a baseball game between the
"four-cylinder'' and "six-cylinder'
mines, these to be selected from mem
bers in the four and six cylinder cars.
There will be ample amusement fur
nished for the children and talking by
such gifted and prominent speakers as
Lee c. Gates and Ora E. Monnette.
The run has aroused the greatest
enthusiasm throughout all Southern
California. The attendance will he en-
ornous and il is, without doubt, the
largest automobile club run ever held
in the United States.
In the old days, in the time OF the
big Spanish ranches, a barbecue was
one OF the main forms of entertain
fnent and things were done gloriously,
hut with the invasion of the eastern
people during the gold rush, and the
consequent emigration of settlers and
forming Of cities. ihe big ranches
were divided. ranchers scattered and
the old-fashoned barbecue has nearly
become a lost art. There are very few
men now. that know how to barbecue

enough to secure one of these men and
