HITS AT THE CITY.
Governor Blease Mad With the Mayor
Of Columbia.

The News and Courier says Gov.
Blease has instructed his whiskey
constables in Richland county not to
bring any more cases before the re-
corder Of the city Of Columbia. He
has instructed them to bring all vio-
lations of the dispensary law before
a magistrate. Gov. Blease said that
the fines received from the cases Of
violation Of the dispensary were con-
siderable and that he would see that
none of this went into the city treas
ury of Columbia. Gov. Blease takes
the position because there was some
talk of cutting the water of from the
governors mansion should the veto
of the item Of $500 for water have
been upheld. There is some question
as to whether the governors mansion
is public building or not.
