INVITATIONS TO GOV. BLEASE.
Executive Unable to Visit Citadel and
.Cedar Springs.
CoIumbia, June 26.--Gov. Blease
received several invitations Monday.
He was invited by the superintendent
of the Citadel to attend the commence
!nent exercises Wednesday, to pre
sent two medals to students. On ac
count of an engagement here Gov.
Blease had to decline this invitation.
He was also invited to attend the

and Blind this week, but also declined
for the same reason.

SHORT WEIGHTS IN COLDIBIA.
Government Experts Find Scales and
Measures Inaccurate.
Columbia, June. 26.-Weights and
measures used. in Columbia are gen
erally incorrect, the errors favoring
as a rule the dealer as against the.
consumer; and, upon a showing to
this effect by federal experts, the city
council has set for itself the task of
remedying matters.
The situation is complicated and its
proper readjustment will require some
time. The promising feature is the
cordial cooperation which the mer
chants themselves offer. It is realiz
ed, by city council as well as by the
government agents, that the losses
inflicted by short weights and meas
ures upon the consumers are inflicted
innocently and ignorantly by most of
the dealers so offending, and these
merchants say they will be very glad
to have their standards corrected.
In April experts from the bureau of
standards of the national department
of commerce and labor quietly made
an investigation into the weights and
measures used in Columbia, under the
direction of Mr. M. H. Stillman. May
or Gibbes knew of the investigation,
and, foreseeing the importance of its
bearing, asked to be furnished with a
copy of the report, embodying the
dindings of the experts. This report
has just come to hand, from Director
S W. Stratton, of the bureau of stan
dards.
TWELVE CONSTABLES REMOVED.
ection in Accordance With Advices
From County Officials.
Columbia, June 26.-Gov. Blease to
lay, in accordance with letters receiv
ad from sheriffs and supervisors, re
noved twelve dispensary constables
n eleven dry counties.
The following are the counties in
which the constabulary have been dis
nissed by the governor's letters mail
ad out this afternoon:
Dcorchester, Lee, Sumter, Orange-f
urg, Fairfield, Darlington, Abbeville,l
Berkeley, Saluda, (two constables,)
3arnwell, Calhoun.
In each county, save Saluda, there
vas one dispensary constable.
In addition to thie removal of the
onstables in the counties, named
bove, Governor Blease indicated that
le would retain constables, in accord
nce with supervisors' and sheriffs'
p~ports in several dry counties.
Governor Blease wrote a letter to
he dry counties where the constables
iad been appointed asking the super-j
risors and sheriff if the constables
ere desired to be retained. It was
n accordance with the letters receiv-1
x that Gov. Blease acted today.
The six wet counties are not affect
dl. Charleston, Richland, Beaufort,
morence and Georgeltown retain all
heir constables. Aiken does not have
hiskey constables because of the:
ural policemen that are employed in
hat county.
Gov. Blease today explained his posi-'
ion in the constabularly matter as
follows:
"I am trying to give the people of
e State an economic administration,
md am paying more attention to this
~eature than to any other one thing.
Where the local officers have given~
e the assurance that they will be
able to enforce the laws, I do not wish
to give the taxpayers any extra ex
pense by the appointment or the re
taining of constables. If', however,
the local officers do not enforce the
laws, constables will be appointed'
wherever requested."
The- removal of the several con
stables given above goes into effect
on July 1.
In Saluda it was pointed out that
the enforcement of the law against
the illicit sale of liquor being carried
on by white people was not carried
out as it should be. Two constables,
had been employed in that county,
Messrs. Wertz and Williams.

Do You Know
The difference in fresh,
pure, new
GROCERIES
and old, stale and shop
worn goods that are to
be seen in many stores?
