GLENN WEST CONVICTED.
Was Really A "Blind" Tiger, Having
Lost The Sight OF Both Eyes.

Glenn West, the notorious blind
tiger, was tried In the Recorders
court this morning for storing liquor
for illegal purposes. Glenn is q
Blind" tiger in every sense Of the
word. as he Is totally without the
sight Of both eyes.
IT will be remembered that West
had a trunk of liquor checked here
from Timmonsville, 1t being discover
ed by the officers on account of the
breakage Of two Of the jugs, which ii
contained, when the trunk was dump
ed from the train, causing the liquor
to trickle out on the ground.
Glenn claimed that all but two
quarts Of the liquor belonged to 9TH
er negroes, who, he said, were work
ing near Pocataligo, but he failed to
produce them when Els witnesses
were called for, no one hosldes him.

one little negro. who leads West
about. He claimed two quarts.
After hearing the evidence, the
jury. Messrs. w. S. Jones, l.. r. Jen-

w. Folsom, and J. n. Shirer, found a
verdict of guilty"

The State was represented in this
case by inc ". Clifton, Esq.
Rosa Doz er, Rosana Rivers, and

men whom he had arrested, charac-

1t Wasn't Tony.

Mr. Eugene Stancill, who was sent
to Mt. Tabor by Sheriff Epperson to
identify the man held there as Tony
Moses, returned to the city late
today, having found that the wrong
man was being held at Mt. Tabor.
The authorities there paid all ex-
penses of Mr.. stansill's trip. however.
This Is about the seventh false alarm
received here stating that Tony Moses
had been apprehended. and 1t is up
to somebody to guess how may more
will be received before the real Tony
Is captured.

From The Daily Item, August IL.
Some people were beginning to
think 1t was about time for another
alarm" about Tony Moses. and sure
enough 1t was. for the following tele-
gram. dated. Mt. Tabor, N. c., Aug
ust 8. was received by the Sheriff
Tuesday.
"I hold prisoner, perfect descrip-
ton of Tony Moses. Come or ans
wer.
(Signed) "a. L. Lewis."s
In reply. Sheriff Epperson wired
the authorities at Mt Tabor to send
photograph and full written descrip-
ton Of the man whom they hold as
Tony Moses.
They Immediately wired back for
Sheriff Epperson to identify the negro
and II 1t proved not to be Tony they
would pay all expenses.
The Sheriff replied that he would
do this, and he sent a man to Mt.
Tabor yesterday afternoon to see
whether or not it was Tony.
Mt. Tabor is on the line between
North and South Carolina, the au-
thorities there stating in the last
telegram received that the prisoner
was in the South Carolina part Of
Mt Tabor. so that If he proves to be
Tony. no extradition papers will be
needed to bring him back to this
city.

Receipts from customs duties in
the year that ended June 80 were the
largest known. Internal revenue re-
ceipts were slightly smaller than IN
1900 and 1901, when the Spanish
American war taxes were in force,
but with that exception they broke
the record. A new source of reve-
nue., the corporation tax, brought in
over seventeen million dollars before
the close of the year. Thus the gov
ernment's total income was larger
than in any previous year-larger by
seventy millions than in the two pre-
ceding years; more than double the
total revenue in the last year of
Cleveland's administration. Also. the
government spent it all and some
thing besides.
The pOstOffice deficit was much
smaller than in the year before, and
for all peace purposes the govern
ment spent less. But expenditures
of the war and navy departments in
creased, exceeding two hundred and
eighty millions. This is nearly two
hundred millions more than the two
departments cost in the last year be-
fore the war with Spain In five
years the war department has spent
seven hundred millions-exclusive Of
the Panama Canal-and the navy de-
partment five hundred and sixty mil
lions. In five years the navy depart
ment has cost nearly as much as in
the whole generation between the
Civil and Spanish wars. and less than
n third of the expenditures come un-
der the head Increase Of the Ma
Wy"
These are tall figures. We hear a
good deal nowadays about extrava-
ganCe. Some thoughtful persons say
that farmers are running the country
buying automobiles. A little arith-
metic will show that thirteen hum
dred million dollars, spread over five
years, would provide many rural
families with nobbby runabouts. If
we want the farmer to economize,
why doesn't somebody set him an ex-
ample e?-Saturday Evening Post.

NO FINER
EXCURSION THAN
THIS.
Ii will be The Excursion of The Year.

Thomas H. Knight offers what is
unquestionably one Of the finest trips
one can take in to Wilmington. N. c..
and the far famed Wrightsville Beach,
the most popular Of all Southern sum-
mer resorts. over the Atlantic Coast
Line, Monday August 22nd. Those
who have never been to Wilmington
and its famous nearby seaside resorts
should grasp this opportunity while
the chance presents itself. If present
indications materialize, it will be a
hummer" A chance of this kind
does not present itself every day.
Those who fail to take it in will
have occasion for regret. The fact
that trip of this magnitude and
beauty can be made for the low rate
charged, makes it all the more likely
that the passenger list will be q large
one. Get there early and side-step
the rush, and you will have the op-
portunity of enjoying one of the finest
excursions ever run from this point.
YOU cannot fail to enjoy yourself ON
this excursion. Get ready for TIE big
trip. There will be separate cars
for white and colored passengers.
Train will leave this point Monday,
August 22nd at $3.50 a. NJ, and will
leave Wilmington on the return Tues
day, August 23rd at 500 D. m. The

When crimson clover seed could

advice to first prove that you can

be taken to obtain fresh seed, shown

HARRIS ATTEMPS TO MURDER MOUDY
FAMILY upon Being KICKED OUT

w. F. Harris attempted to kill the
family of AID. Moudy Saturday night.
Harris was a son-in-law of Mr. Mou-
dy and until about 10 days ago was
member of the household. Owing
to the prompt arrival of the officers
no one was injured although the
house was riddled with shot.
Harris married the youngest
daughter of Moudy's some time last
fall, and has resided with the family
until about 10 days ago, when on
the advice of Moudy he left home,
but not without threatening to return
and kill, the family. Ever since
his departure Mr.. Moudy has been in
dread of his life, so Saturday night
when someone knocked on the door
Moudy wanted to know who was
there. Getting no reply he raised a
window blind when the man on the
outside commenced firing bullets
through the door. Mr.. Moudy re-
piled in like manner. The assailant
then fired through the windows, one
bullet came near hitting Mrs. Harris,
who was in the house with her par
ents.
