In The Police Court.

There were only two cases heard in
the police court Monday morning, one
OF these being liquor case that re-
suited in the discharge Of the parties
arrested after most searching exam
ination by the Recorder.
The first person up was John Ell
lerbe who was charged with being
drunk. cursing and creating a dis
turbance Sunday morning. He plea 4
not guilty to the charges, but after
he had heard all Of the evidence
against him he failed to make any
defense. He was given $500 on the
first two charges and $1,000 on the
third charge.
whiskey case involving Nellie
Richardson, Dave Herriot, and Ply
lis Ballard was called next and the
three parties involved were most
thoroughly examined in every par
ticular by the recorder, who failed to
find them sufficiently culpable for fine
or other punishment. Policeman
Ward. who made the arrest stated
that he had arrested them as he had
noticed the womans peculiar actions
and the man had lied to him as to
whom the whiskey belonged to. 1t
seems from the evidence deduced that
the Richardson and the Ballard wo-
men had ordered the w'hiskey togeth-
er and Phyllis had asked Heriot to take
- around home for her. There were
two gallons Of the corn liquor.
The parties were finally discharged
with the warning that If they
were caught ordering any more whis-
key that 1t would go harder with
them.

GLASS COMPANY APPEAL.
individual Members of Commissions
Brought i'm According TO Statement
Made by Attorney.

Columbia, March I've will sue
the members individually for the last
amount and will carry the case to the
United States supreme court for a
decision"
This statement was made yesterday
by w. II. Lyles, counsel for the Caro-
lima Glass company Of this city. when
asked as TO whether the South Caro-
lima dispensary commission hal
agreed to return the $1,000 recently
held up by the commission.
Several weeks ago, following the de-
cision of the supreme court in the
Carolina glass case, attorneys for the
company proposed to the commission
TO abandon the appeal to the Unittf
States supreme court, provided the
commission return the $4,000 taken
in Richland county as being due to
the glass company.
I'VE talse it for granted" said Mr..
Lyles, that the commission will not
agree to our proposition. as they ha -
not acted upon the matter and we
will most certainly carry the case 20
the United States supreme court"
The Richland county dispensary
owed the Carolina Glass Company
$4,000 for glass delivered. This
amount was taken by the commission
under the decision OF the South Car-s
olina supreme court. The decision of
the supreme court gave the commits
sion the right to take over all moneys
due by the county dispensaries to the
glass company. but refused to sell the
property of the glass company for an
overjudgment.
Last year the commission found an
overjudgment Of approximately $751;
600 against the glass company. Prac-
tically all Of this amount has been
received by the commission. A claim
by the glass company Of about s23, 200
was wiped out and the action sus-N
tanned by the supreme court. An adj
dltional $4,000, due by county dispen-
saries to the glass company was taken
over.

Writing his advertisement on a type
writer, he manifolded it and sent
copies to the newspapers as follows:

Neigh 10000 bushels Of cats. Will
pay highest market price
Not noticing the error he awaited
results which came sooner than he
expected. Within a week cats of all
kinds and descriptions commenced to
arrive consigned to Trothers. Some
were sent prepaid and others collect
They came from the east, the west,
the north and the south. The agent
Of the Northwestern road became
alarmed. He was being swamped by
cats and wired the superintendent for
instructions. That official, not know
ing what else to do, wired back:
Release all cats not accepted"
Still cats continued to arrive, and
still Trothers refused to accept the
felines, but his troubles did not end
there. Boys about town had learned
that he was in the market for cats
They commenced to catch the strays
and take them to his place of bust
ness. Some days last week he re-
fused as many as 500 cats brought in
by boys and three or four times as
many coming by rail.
1t is estimated that fully 5000 cats
have been shipped into Neigh. and
the end is not yet. They are becoming
a nuisance, and the city council is
about to take action and order a
slaughter Of the animals.

Peking, March 2.-Famine and
plague are sweeping over China. The
known deaths from the plague num-
her 10000 and according to the Of
hcal Statistics the death rate aver
ages POO daily. But the officials have
! little knowledge Of the conditions in
/ the interior, or if they have, they are
not permitting the facts TO be known
1t is impossible even to estimate
the number of deaths that have re-
suited from lack of food. An Ameri-
can writes:
one million people will die before
the first crop is harvested. This will
be scanty because the people have
not the strength to till the soil and
no animals remain for plowing."
The Chinese are directing their eff,
forts to control the plague, chiefly
along the railways and frontiers. for
political reasons.
Physicians engaged in COMBATING
Ihe ulSedSe are or the opinion that
warm weather will kill the germs. all,
though this may bring only tempoN
rary relief. 1t is said by the medical
authorities that such an epidemic as
the present one, which is entirely
pneumonia, has not visited the world
since the middle ages.
Owing to the political question in
vo!ved and the presence of foreigners@
along the railways, the plague in
Manchuria is receiving greater atten-
ton than the famine, but the death
rate from the famine is many times
greater than that from the plague.
The famine is the result of the de,l
struction Of the crops by a fall of 6
inches Of rain in two days last Au-
gust, in a district where the people
ordinarily have a hand to mouth

Pcculiar Exemptions From the Second
Class Postage Increase.

NlaSS POStage increase.
The haphazard and ridiculous ma
ture Of the recent proposition (for
increasing the postage on magazinesl
can be shown by examining another
OF its details. Tackled on tc this new
provision are these final words pro
Vlded, that the increased rate shall
not apply to publications mailing less
than four thousand pounds of each
issue 1t is stated that Mr.. Hitch
cock added this proviso TO accom-
modate a Senator who was interested
IN comparatively small periodical in
his own State. But let us consider
for a moment what it means. The
great organ Of Wall Street, far more
profitable than most of the popular
periodicals, is the Commercial and
Financial Chronicle. It's subscription
price is ten dollars year, and its
advertising rates, Of course, are not
low. Yet 1t claims a circulation Of
orly 1000 copies. Why should it
have access to the mails, in order to
reach leading bankers throughout
the United Stotes, at one cent a
pound on its present circulation.
while it would have to pay four cents
a pound if its circulation were con-
sidcrably larger? This financial Jour-
nal, which appears weekly. has a Sc
ries of special supplements. some of
them bulky, amounting to thirty
Tour in the course cf the year. It's
bank and quotation" supplement- is
monthly. its railway supplement- is
quarterly, and so on. BY proper dis
tribution Of these supplements in as
sociation with its fifty-two weekly is.
sues, this paper could evidently avoid
altogether the four-cent rate. al
though its supplements are loaded
with profitable advertising. If, on the
other hand, this admirable organ of
banking and financial interests had its
issues aggregated on a monthly ba-
sis, it would be compelled, undoubtedly.
to pay FOUR cents a pound on its en-
tire weight
The foregoing illustration is used TO
show how full of tricks is this provjso
Tor the exemption of periodicals mail
ing less than 1000 pounds at one
TIM. Take another illustration: The
great organ of the distillers and whole
sale liquor dealers is an extremely
valuable property, loaded with high
priced advertising, yet naturally hav-
ing restricted circulation. Its out
side claim is a circulation of 1900
copies. 1t circulates throughout the
country, so that the postoffice must
give 1t the benelt of a long average
haul. Yet it would be very feasible
for this periodical to keep each COPY
we'll inside the weight Of sixteen
ounces, so as to avoid mailing more
than 1000 pounds at each issue. This
organ or the liquor trade is purely a
commercial affair. 1t bears no re-
lation to the education or culture of
the country. We are not criticising it,
but we should like to ask Mr.. Hitch
cock and President Taft just why it is
that they propose to multiply the pos
tai rate on the Review Of Reviews,
while exempting from any increase a
great number Of highly profitable peri
odicals like this organ of the wine
and spirit interests ?--Review Of Re-
