T The defendant was represented 'by R Eugene S. Blease, Esq. Ti C Jake Byrd. colored, was tried in his absence on the charge of trans porting contraband liquor from Lau r,ns county into Newberry county during July of last year. Byrd was captured by two Laurens officers while Byrd was on his way to Vaughan \ille on Sunday, going to church with a dmijohn and a quart and a pint. He was convicted, and a sealec' sen tence awaits him. He was under a bond for his appearance at t-his term of court. a t Mr. 1). C. Livington, of the Dead Fall section of the county, was tried on Tuesday morning on the charge is of violatinl. the dispensary law. Mr. Liviinston was acquitted. H"e was indicted in three counts, one charg in, sellin< a .drink labelled "sarsa parilla.'' containing alcohol, another charaing him with storing and 'keep- r ing alcoholic liquors, and another with keeping a place where alcoholic liquors were sold. bartered and giv en away. Bottles were introduced in evidence as having been sold by Mr. Livingston. containing the fol lowing label: "Sarsaparilla Tonic. Extract With Todide Potash. 23 per cent Alcohol.

Guaranteed under s the Food and Drugs Act June 30, 1906.'' Constable T. G. Williams tes tified that the 'sale of this stuff had been reported to him, and he had warned Mr. Livingston, but that Mr. Livingston continued to sell it. Messrs. 0. R. Dawkins and T. ScurryF Coleman testified that they hadt bought it from Mr. Livingston to. drink as a subhstitute for whiskey i -er when they were getting off drunks. On cross examination Mr. E. S. BIease, who represented the defend ant. produced a bottle of Vinol,m labelled 1S per cent alcohol. and ask- te ed Constable Williams if he knew that was 'being sold in Newberry. Mr.m Williams said he would investigate it. He also produced a mouth wash label led as containintr 68 per cent of al ool, and asked Mr. Williams if he knew that was being' sold in Newber rv. Mr. Blease's position was thatfr some alcohol was necessary to pre- be serve medicines, and certainly there ad been no intention on Mr. Living- P ~ton 's part of violating the law. The defendent offered in testi mony. 'The jury remained out only a few minutes before returning a ver iet of not guilty.

Purel desires to call attention to the p'ractice of ~ome patrons of rural delivery of plac ing loose coins in their boxes each time they desire to dispt.tch letters instead of supplying themselves with postage in advance of their needs. This practice impcses t:idue hard shio oii rural earriers in removing loose coins from boxes and delays them on the service of their routes. .The postmaster, therefore, urgent ly requests that pa.trons of rural de livery provide themselves and keep on hand a supply of stamps consistent with and inr advance of th'eir needs.' It is also very desirable that ruralI patrons place in -their nmail boxes sinli detaehabie cups of wood or tin in which to place coins, when neces sary. la purchasing supplies of stamps.
