from Camp Jackson to the
Mexican border are to report to their
new- stations not later titan October
11, according to advices received at
Camp Jackson. The Icrng journey |

will relieve trbops that are being

I have had the pleasure of a personal
acquaintance with Prof. J. W.

gentleman of the most agreeable qualities,
reliable as a man and brilliant
in his professional performances.
T have heard htm a number of
tlm.es in recitals here at the Conservatory
and other places.
He plays with great sincerity of
purpose, and has a marvelous execu?
tion in the most brilliant passages.
His rendering of slow movements
and songs is very touching and he
carries his audience with him. His
future will be a brilliant one in the
profession . . r v ^
As a concert pianist and public performer
he is a great success. I
recommend him very highly as such.

OF' STIIilJXO CHARGE.
For want of evidence the federal
commissioner at Columbia. Tuesday
dismissed the case against Ray KJser,
a former Lexington county boy. who
had been charged with owning and
operating a still in I.exington county.
Evideiice adduced before 'the commissioner
was to the effect that the
still, which was raided early in. September,
was not on the place of Mr.
Riser as had boon charged and there
was na evidence to connect him with
the still. . . .. . .
Mr. Riser at the time of his arrest
had been for more than a year patrol
driver for the Columbia police department.
Prior to that he was a guard
at the penitentiary. M"r. Riser is
well known in Lexington county and
is well liked. His friends were surprised
at the news of his arrest and
will be gratified to learn of hi? vindication.
