York Leads In Hogs. x
In reply to q recent inquiry from
Mr.. r. ]. Woodside, president of one
Of the Greenville banks, as to how
nearly South Carolina comes to being
|self-sustaining on the meat question,
Commissioner Watson wrote as fol-
lows: 1.-The total value Of hogs In
South Carolina for the year 1910 was
81, $40, 900, while in 1900 1t was only
81, ,412, 900, showing an Increase In
the decade Of S8.6 per cent. AS you
will see this Is mere drop in the buck
ct, as far as reaching home supplies
Is soncerned. Our estimate OF the
quantity Of hog meat. Of all descrip-
tions purchased outside Of this state
and brought into the state for con-
sumption here is, in round figures,
I cannot give you the exact figures by
counties for this year. but there are
hardly more than $4,000 hogs Of all
kinds and classes and descriptions In
the county of Greenville. In Cherokee
there Is probably less than 5000, In
Greenwood hardly exceeding 10000,
and In Newberry about the same as
in Greenville. Spartanburg Is about
in the same condition. OF the Pied
mont counties York probably has the
largest number Of hogs. something
over 10000.
Tiserins In Rock Hill.
I Rock Hill Herald, yesterday: This
morning. before Magistrate Wingate,
Bob Edwards and wife, who run an
establishment on West Black street,
near the city power plant. were ar
raigned on the charge Of selling liquor
In manner contrary to law and
against the peace and dignity Of the
state" The negroes were allowed to
enter a plea of guilty Of transporting,
and a fine Of 800 each was imposed,
this being paid without protest. The
case was worked up by Constable F.
G. Allen Of Rock Hill and ]. F. jack
son Of Yerkville. the place having
been under suspicion for some time
hard to get, and the officers had to
work most persistently to make out
a case. They raided the "joint" Sun
day afternoon and came away with
about seven gallons Of fiery fluid. this
being in jugs, bottles and other re-
ceptacles that were lying handy. The
entire outfit was transported to the
office of Magistrate Wingate, the GUS
todians Of the fluid" being watched
by a number Of "drys'' as they wended
their way toward the seat of justice.
This being one Of the most important
raids made in the city in some time,
a large crowd Of the curious were on
hand this morning to hear the re-
suit Of the case. However, the evil
dence was so strong that the negroes
pleaded guilty, making 1t unnecessary
to hear the evidence. The officers
state that a flourishing business has
been done, and the readiness with
which the fines Of 800 each were
paid would seem to substantiate their
belief.
