Columbia, Sept. 23.?A eon..
teronce today botweon Governor
Hoy ward, Commissioner Taium
and Assistant Attorney Townsend,
regarding the shipment of whiskey
by dispensers of wet counties
to patrons in dry counties, resulted
in the issuance of a new set of
orders to constables, directing and
requiring them to seize all liqin rs
in transit which do not tieur the
permit of the commissioner. ,

The Columbia correspondent of i
Tbe News and Courier makes two
very interesting statements in
Monday's paper. He states that
a waut advertisement appeared a ,
day or two ago for a competent
bookkeeper, but it was distinctly (
staled that a cigarette fiend or one
who indulged in intoxicants was
not wanted. Again, that Oovornor
Heyward was asked to recom- >
mend an expert uccouutant not
long since, and tbe main require- 1
ment was that he was aot one ad- <
dieted to drink. <
We wish to emphasize these ?
things. The time is coming when 1
no responsible persons will give 1
employment to persons who are
drinkers. The sober young mun 1
is to be more truly than ever the I
man who is wanted to fill any
position carrying with it any de- <
gree of responsibility. The action
of the Governor of Indiana not !
long since in refusing to appoint
men who drank to any positions
within his gift was commendable.
These facts ought to be pondered
by all right-thinking people.
Columbia Gamblers Raided Suddenly
by the Police.
Special to Greenville News.
Columbia, Sept. 22.?Two
bquads of policemen raided the
ullegod gambling places tonight
on Main and Assembly streets. |
The place supposed to tie t un by
J. D McEIroy was smashed into
first and all of the paraphernalia
taken. It filled up that patrol
wagon. The next place visited,
at the corner of Main and Plain
streets, was served the same way
and at tho Cresent Restaurant it
was necessary to employ one extra
wagon to haul away tho tables
' etc. The raid created a great
- sensation because there was absoI
lutely no warning. The orders
were given the police sectetIt
$1 and the gamblers had no chance
^ to muke away with their stuff.

rue INewberry Mills Hit by Speculation.
Speciul.to Greenville News.
Newberry, Sept. 22.?Concerning
the report that the Newherry
cotton Mills had lost $200.
000 in cotton speculation, tho
Observer, which is close to tho
parties interested, said today:
44 The mill has lost considerable
money oor'ainly as much as the
surplus, which was $177,000;
possibly something more than
that. But it can be stated with
absolute certainty that it has not
lost enough to effect its efficiency
at all or its credit. The plant is
worth over $800,090, though it is
capitalized at only $400,000. It
is in splendid shnpo, financially
and otherwise; fca1 first class and
up to-date machinery; is running
on full time with full force, and
even with the vague rumors
afloat has boon only slightly affected.

Farmers.
Special to The State.
Orangeburg, Sept. 18.?The
Orangeburg County Cotton nsso
elation met in special session toJay
and ratified the action of the
Southern Cottop association in
fixing the minimum selling price
at 11 cents.
Possibly the most satisfactory
talks, from the furmers standpoint,
were made by Mr. B. H.
Moss, president of the Edisto
Savings banx, Col. D. O Herbert
of the Poople's bank, Mr. I.
S. Harley of the Farmers' and
Merchants' bank and Mr. Robert |
Lide of the Bank of Elloreo, all of
whom said their banks were hearti-.|
ly in favor of the movement and
would lend all the financial aid in
their power.
A letter was read from the
Bank of Orangeburg expressing
Ibe same sentiments and it is safe
to say that every bank in the
county stands ready to aid the
farmers.
