Cooper went hark into tho hoard room and had the heard to countermand an order or twenty-five barrel* of whiskey which had boon given to D Sachs* & Sons. r Tho next deal Sachs Soiih or u their drummer made with local ^ strikers was with young Kvan.s, a r cousin of .J Dudley Hasohlon, then j chairman of tho hoard. This i i y young man was sen roe I y 'J 1 years old and ha<l never sold whis-1 ' key hofore and knows just about as much about traveling for a wholesale house as the average . I country youth, and they know 1 nothing about trade und com* nioree. He could never have got n i ten a job if he had not been re? latod to the chairman. The ' strength of his pull ma\ be judged '' by tho amount of hi* and (ia-ton's <> , * r orders wlveh amount to $ It!, -198. The amount may ho larger s than this because all tho invoices I may not have been posted when this amount was taken from the j hooks." Outzs says liquor* were ordered J from Sachs as needed.

At least he ^ gave up advocating purchasing from Friedman, Keller & Co. and! 5 they have gotten no more orders ). since. 'Just after the death of Gov^ eroor Ellerbe and about tho time Boyd Evans was leaving his office a drummer came to Columbia to a meeting of the board. Sprinkler represented the Reidsville, N I, C, Liquor company and was cor railed nt llio lirst meeting he attended hy \Y Boyd Kvaus, who got a job with him, and upon Sprinkler's going before the board with Kvans and telling them he had employed Evans to travel North and South Caroliua, an order was given the lleidsvillel Liquor company. They got such | a large order that they had some diflieulty in tilling it?did not till it in timo to get another at the next hoard meeting ? but have, been given orders at every meet-1 ing since. If ICvans over travel ed further for them than from Marion hero to Columbia it has never been heard of. Boyd Kvan's pull amounts to $8,860.08 111 oruers given, besides the !Sot> tember purchases.

"Now, what uhout yourself! .1 Dudley llusclden, did you ever make this remark, that you had liquidated ?10,000 in debts since y?>u had been a mom her of the j hoard? Your salary according to the published report of the hoard, was not ?1,600.

After this .! C Moody, another cousin from Marion county, was given the inspection job. He is still connected with tho dispensary. It has been asserted th it Stelling was given a job as dis j penser in Charleston because M It Cooper needed his influence in j the city to help him in his race for secretary of state. J D Percival was also given a dispenser's job in Charleston about the same I ... time. Stelling was finally allowed to run a dispensary against tho vote of Mr Doutlut and Mr] Williams and they bad him held j up for thirty days and tried to pi event Stelling from running a wholesale dispensary.

Further details uro at hand regarding the destruction of the armored train at Kraaipan. These show that Capt Neshit, who was in command of the train, was warned at Marihoro that the Boers held the line. He replied that he was bound to proceed. Ncaring Kraaipan the train dashed into a culvert that had been blown up bv the Boers, who were lying in wait for the train The Boer artillery immediately opened tire and a j desperate (i<ilit appears to have ensued, lustiug four hours, with the odds greatly against the Brit . ish. The precise details are tin certain. It seems, however, that a police | patrol, attracted by the tiring, approached within about 2,<)<)<? \ anis of Kraaipan, saw the train ditched, with the Boer artillery still pound| ing at it, but noticed no response. The Boers seemed afraid to ap| proach until the wreck was complete, and the police patrol feared, as there was no sign of life near the train, that the entire force had perished in a desperate attempt to get the train hack to Mafoking, | where they know it was anxiously awaited with it- load of guns and ammunition. It is reported that the Boers lost heavily, hut there is no means I of verifying this. Two miles of | rails were torn up. There is no authoritative con! tirmation of the report that a hattie has been fought in Natal between Gen Sir George Stewart White and the Orange Free Stale troops, although thero is 110 question that the Boers have crossed the frontier at several points. They are said to have Is gun-; Gut if, as reported, the engagement began before the Boers had formed a laager and thrown up earthworks, the British cavalry and artillery are liable to have had the best of the lighting. It is even already reported that the British have gained a great, victory; tluit 2,<"mi0 Boers were killed, and that may be withoui foundation, as another report has I been published to the elTect that Lord Rothschild was in receipt of news of a great British victory, hut when the Associated Bless i representative questioncd him regarding the alleged dispatch he replied: "I am sorry that I have not received anything of the ! sort.'
