Irish potatoes were never scarcer ; most of tbem froze during tbe cold snap. We are glad to see Mr. G. C. Bradley out after being sick for several days.

Attain in Washington?Report of What * He Is Haying at the Nation's Capital. R. R. Tolbert In bere looking after bis contest in tbe next Congress. He has Just returned from a visit to bis borne In Abbeville and Is Indulging In soma remarkable talk about home matters, according to tbe Post. "Affairs bave quieted down somewhat since tbe excitement of election time," said Mr. Tolbert, "but I do not by any means consider that all danger bas passed. I would not be surprised at any time I am wltbln tbe borders of tbe State to find myself surrounded oy a dozen Winchesters. Tbose people never come at a man single-banded. Still, Soutb Carolina Is my bomeand 1 sball continue to reside tbere. I bave Just spent two montb wltbln my Congressional district preparing evidence for my contest against Representative Latimer and I met with do physical violence. Shortly after I wenttouiy borne near Abbeville Court House there was a meeting of the citizens held, and resolutions passed calling upon me to leave tbe State. A committee waited upon me and presented tbem, but I paid no attention to tbe resolutions. "I continued to remain tbere for two weeks afterward, in fact until I bad concluded my business. Then I canvassed my dlstrlot, although I did not visit Phoenix, where most of tbe rioting occured. I have several days yet 1 LI wuicu lu uumpiDid UJJT Irmuujuu; IU mo contested case, but I have secured already practically .all I want and I shall certainly Susb the matter before tbe House committee. one of our family bas yet returned to Phoenix or McCormlck, but all will do so shortly and face all the opposition and Wlncesters which may be brought before them. They will not attempt to cause trouble, but seek to avert It. My father, broth?r, wife and cblU dren are now In Charleston. But they have a plantation near Phoenix and will return In the spring to cultivate It. My brother who was nhot lour times, Ivan Invalid for life, but he proposes to livq out the rest of his life In South Carolina. I would not be surprised to see these disturbances taking place, from time to time, until Congress, as I believe it will do, cuts down the representation of South Carolina to its actual voting population. Then she will have three instead of seven Congressmen ; that will open tbe eyes or the people. However, so far as I am concerned, I would p*efer to have the present representa tlon continue, with suffrage for all. I shall return to South Carolina after the present session of Congress closes." An exohange very truthfully says: "If a doctor makes a mistake he buries it: if a merchant makes a mistake be crawls out of it, but If an editor makes a mistake be puts it on paper for the world to see, and in every community there are cranks who think they are models of wisdom because they occasionally discover them.

We aiu 'OUTLAWRY IN COLUMBIA. Yorkvllle Yeoman. The killing of Mrs. Stuart, In Columbia, by a dispensary constable has been the signal for a new outburst of criticism on the part ol those wbo bave been opposed to tbe dispensary law. This, in our Judgment, Is wrong. Tbe Impartial person can find wbere botb tbe 8tuarts and tbe consiables acted wrongly. Neither Is blameless. Crawford, tbe consta< ble, bad no right to go on a searching errand under the Influence of whiskey. No sucli man had any business with a constable's commission. No one save a sober and reliable man, a man of discretion, should ever be appointed to such a responsible position, a position that requires tact, courage, self-respect and respect for tbe feelings of others? those for Instance wbo might happen to come under reasonable suspicion of officers who were charged wltb tbe enforcement of tbe law. We can see nothing to Justify Stuart in resisting an officer of tbe law wbo was properly armed wltb a warrant, if that officer was respectful and considerate In bis demeanor, and there is some reason to believe that tbe offloer was to some extent at least so, as wben Mrs. Stuart r.efused to allow the search, b<> and bis companions agreed to wait until the husband could be sent for. Tben wben Stuart himself, arrived trouble commenced In earnest. He refused to allow a search ; be abused and cursed the constables. Like begets like. Crawford also cursed and said some uncomplimentary tbltw. Tben tbe constables started to leave and Stuart fired Into tbem. That Mrs. Stuart was killed, was an accident. The dispensary constables were not shooting at her, or flgbtlng her. IfStuart was not hiding Illicit liquor la bis honse, or selling It from bis premises, why did he resist a search ? An Innocent and self-respecting man would bave felt sorely grieved that bis neighbors, or anyone else, would think that be was engaged in a nefarious and dirty Infraction of tbe laws of bis State, that be wasa sneak and stealing privileges that bad been denied blm by tbe State. All tbe barm and grief to blm would come from the fact that the suspicion bad arisen. And if Innocent, would be not court the lullest and freest investigation, once tbe matter bad been hinted ? We think so. Innocence does not bide behind such flimsy refuges as "A man's bome is bis castle." Phrases like that are loo often used for blgb toned booicers who are evading tbe law, to defeat, binder and cheat tbe law, and plead as a defense of violence. Tbe laws ought to be respected and enforced, castle or no castle. At this distance, it looks as IfStuart had contraband llquoi'ln bis bouse, was selling it, and knew that a search would result in detection and arrest. He resisted the law and has suffered awful consequences. Tbe second homicide, the killing of Cart ledge by Meetze, looks like a cold blooded affair. Cartledge was a young applicant for appointment as constable, aleetze a sod of the ex-keeper of an o. p. shop la Columbia. CLEBK BULLOCK'S CASE. Was Charged with Forging; Jndge Buchanan's Name ? Judge Bene! Qnasbed tbe Indictment, but tbe Supreme Conrt Reverses Him and Remands tbe Case for Trial. Columbia Record. Tbe troubles of Mr. W. R. Bullock, Clerk of Court of Abbeville County, are not at an end. Be was Indicted on tbe charge of forging Judge Buchanan's name to Jurors' and witnesses' certificates. Tbe case came up before Judge Benet, who quashed tbe Indictment on tbe ground that the certificates alleged to have been forged were not properly made out to have been paid by the county treasurer. The state appealed and tbe Supreme Court has Just rendered a decision which reverses tbe Circuit Judge and remands the case to the Circuit Court. Tbe state in its appeal held that the Circuit Judge was in error when be held that tbe Indlotment was faulty because It did not apnear that tbe witness pay certificates were' "sapported by tbe affidavits of witnesses to whom tbe certificates were Issued. Tbe Court bolds tbat tbls was an error. It also alleges error because tbe Judge beld tbat witness pay certificates were not approved by tbe Supervisor. The Court holds tbat Jurors, constables aud witnesses may receive cash or give suoh claims In payment of their taxes due tbe county. If they desire cash tbe claims must be certified to tbe Presiding Judge with the Clerk of Court certifying to the same. The Supervisor does not, therefore, have to approve them Tbe State further claimed tbat It was error for tbe Circuit Judge to bold that It did not appear to have been any real or simulated endorsement or assignment of tbe payee of tbe witness certificate set out In the Indictment and tbat tbe paper alleged to have been forged was not a subject of forgery. In answer to tbls tbe Court defines wbat forgery Is and holds that tbe papers in question would come within the meaning. There Is no special form prescribed for pay certificates. Holding, therelore, tbat tbe alleged papers came wltbln tbe meaning of forgery the Court remands the case for trial. Mr. Bullock is a young man and has twice been elected Clerk, and It was during bis second term that the charges were made against lulu wuiuu ureaieu a aeuBiuiuu mruuguoui the State. EXPANSION. A Lady'o Ramblloira at R. C. Bernan, The Jeweler". Mr. Bemau, the Jeweler, believes In expansion. However, It 1h not the kind tbat troubles politicians tbat be Is concerned In. It Is business expansion. He wants more customers, more watches, Jewelry and clocks for repairs and it will pay you to let him make an estimate on your work. Every one wanted to know how cold It was those few cold days and pretty soon you wiil want to know bow hot it Is getting. Why not buy a thermometer from U. C. Bemau, tbe Jeweler? He has a new line. 15 cents will buy one tbat registers correctly. Tbe roads are pretty bad now, but will soon be In eood shape and you will want a bicycle. Crescents, chain or gear, and "Genvea" can j be bought cheaply this season. R. C. Bernau i will have a full line in a few days. Mlsa Inquisitive. m!

A P: Tbe announcement of tbe purchase of tbe Florida Central and Peninsula by tbe syndicate tbat recently seen red control of tbe Seaboard Air Line, wbleb was exclusively announced in tbe Mall and Express yesterday, Is verified by tbe statement of Jobn Skelton Williams, of Rlohnlond, president of tbe 8. I A. L. Mr. Williams was In tbe olty yesterday and negotiated for tbe sale of tbe stocK held by W. Bayard Catting and R. Fulton Cutting. Mr. Williams was very maoh satisfied with tbe purchase. He says tbat tbe roads now.under control of tbe syndicate will offer tbe shortest route to Soutbern Florida. Seventy miles of new road will bave to be Dalit Id Florida, and wbeo tbis Is finished tbe system will commence active competition wltb tbe Plaot lloe. An Important development In tbe railway world tbe past balf boar bas been tbe growth of tbe thorough train service between tbls olty and Eastern points and tbe extreme South. Tbis Is rendered of even greater Importance by yesterday's transaction. Wltb tbe new connection tbe Seaboard Air Line will have-Its own tracks from Washington south to Tampa. Since the Norfolk and western bas discontinued trafflo relations with the Baltimore and Ohio on through Southern service, It Is probable tbat tbe tracks of tbls road will be UBed by the Seaboard Air Line for an entranoe to this olty.
