DRY,
COLUMBIA Is WET.
Liuuor Easier To Get Here Than in
Large Cities.
The State.

The State.
There is less whiskey in Charles
ton than in any other town in the
state in proportion TO population,
said j. H. King, federal prohibition
agent with headquarters in Charles
ton, yesterday. Mr.. King was at the
office of the collector of internal
revenue during the day and said de-
spite the fact that Charleston is grow
ing at rapid pace and many new
citizens are coming in, whiskey is
far from being plentiful.
Conditions are different in Column
bia. So far as the federal authorities
are concerned they seem TO be giving
their whole attention towards eradi-
cation of whiskey stills in the coun-
ty. They have shown little or no ac-
tivity in the city of Columbia. What
has been done here has been done by
the city police force. Last month the
force was active and about IA cases
were docketed against persons
charged with selling liquor. But
the following comemnts taken at ran
dom tell the condition in Columbia.
The following is from a newspaper
account of the arrests made Sunday:
Unusual number of plain and help
less drunks noted on docket" The
patrol hauled AZ men TO the barracks
who were helplessly drunk, and ano-
ther lot composed of 81 persons were
charged with being drunk and disor-
derly.'
A man we'll known in Columbia,
talking not for the purpose of being
heard but making, statements of fact
said last week:
Liquor is easier to get in Colum-
bia than in Philadelphia. l know, for
/ have tried both places, and it was
not because know the ropes here and
did not know them in Philadelphia. |
have friends there who are more fonU
of a drink than / am and they will
follow me a half mile 10 get drink
at my room in the hotel, for they &
not get any whiskey in Philadelphia
without difficulty. l always carry
my liquor with me from Columbia
when l go 10 Philadelphia.
Another well known citizen who
heard the above replied:
Liquor is easier TO get in Colum-
bia than in Chicago. A man who had
been in both towns tells me that he
has no difficulty in buying liquor in
Columbia and he has great difficulty
in getting it in Chicago, and he knows
the ropes in Chicago as we'll as he
does in Columbia"
Good liquor can be had in Colum-
bia at $50 case. The same quality
in Jacksonville costs 5000 a case. In
Jacksonville it costs SIS for IA
ounce quart. Here it costs SIS"
A guest at one of the hotels re-
Gently said:
II saw IL empty quart whiskey
bottles carried out of the hotel at
which / am staying one morning. l
asked the negro woman who had
gathered them where the men got so
much whiskey. She said, 'Lor, mum,

NEGRO LYNCHED By
IAURENS MEN.
Quietly Taken from Cell - Found
Hanging from Bridge.

Laurens, April - Joe Steward,
twenty-five years OF age, shortly be-
fore midnight Thursday, as near as
can be ascertained was taken from a
cell in the police station here and
lynched. This is the first time i'll about
seven years that a Laurens negro has
been executed without due process OF
law.
He was mixed up in fight with sew
eral white men Thursday night, this
being given as the cause OF the trou-
BILE. Steward had been employed by
local coal dealer for about a year.
He was carried 10 the foot of Gene
terry Hill and hanged from the North
Harper street bridge over Little riv-
er. The rain-soaked body was cut
down and taken to an undertaken this
morning. Upon the arrival OF the
coroner inquest proceedings were im-
mediately started with Solicitor
Blackwell representing the State. In
the examination Of witnesses, after
four or five men had testified, in
Guiding Chief of Police Blakesly and
Sheriff Reid, on motion of the Soli-
citor adjournment was taken until a
future date with the view OF ascer-
tainng, if possible, additional evil
dence in the case.
DR.. w. D. Ferguson who examined
Stewards body testified that five
stab wounds were on the body and
his neck had been broken, though
death was due to hanging, the wounds
were not serious in his estimation.
The lynching of Steward was the re-
suit of an alleged fight earlier in the
night with a party of young white
men, three of whom were more or
less painfully cut with a knife WELD
ed by Steward, it is said. In the fight,
which occurred on back street nea
Harrison Hunters shop, the Legro
received five wounds from which h
bled freely until medical attention
was given him at the station house,
where he was taken by the arrestins
officer, who is said to have rescued
the negro from some of the boys in
the fight after Steward had been car
ried 10 local negro surgeon for treat
ment.
1t is said that the fight came about
by Steward taking up for another ne
gro who it is alleged, offended a
young white boy by brushing against
him as the negro was leaving the OPP
era house about o'clock. The boys,
it is stated, started to get the offend
ing negro when they encountered
Steward who, it is claimed, challeng-
ed the boys and used abusive lam
guage which led to an immediate
fight. All wounded parties had to
have the attention of doctors. Up un-
till IL o'clock everything appeared
quiet and most people went home.
Chief Blakley and another police
man were on duty. The officers left
the station house for a short tin
and when they returned the negro
was gone. He had been removed froE
the cell, the door of which was forced
open, and taken out through the rea
of the building. So quietly was the
work done that no one has been found
who hear any unusual noise about the
station at the alleged time of Stew
ards removal from his cell. 1t V
not thought necessary by the offic-
ers to place the negro in jail as ev-
erything was apparently quiet
there was no apprehension of further
trouble.

Among the senator's whose political

strong wish that something might
happen before the Allen Industrial
court bill. on which the eyes of the
nation are conferred these days, comes
up for vote.
Thinking Long and Hard.
Today. these senator's whose politi-
cal ambitions are within reach of the
organized labor vote did little talking
themselves-none at all for publica-
ton. But among their friends it was
generally understood that at present,
unless the unforeseen would happen.
they. might be called upon to oppose
the industrial court bill.
That for the time being they would
offer determined resistance to it ap-
peared unlikely. Rather they would
sit tight, keep their eyes open and
watch carefully for az opportunity to
clear their skirt thru the amendment
path, or something of that sort
seemed to be the program expected
from them.
Union delegations in the centers of
population in most of the districts
represented by these senators have
called them before their bodies and
expressed their views. Whether any.

however. was 81 for TO ISL against

resolutions with him. A committee OF
ex-soldiers appointed that night to
search for him was unsuccessful. as

start with Wark will hire probably
half a dozen real stenographers and
attempt to get thru with that limited
number. In past years there was a
clerk for every committee.
