A South- * prn car loaded with contraband 1 whiskey, consisting of twelve bar- t rels of 45 gallons each and four | kegs of 5 gallons each, had been ' shipped from a point outside the I State to unknown parties in that ( city. Before the arrival of the H whiskey in Columbia, the officials ' received authority from the treas- ^ ury department to seize both whis- 1 key and car, as under authority of I Section 3,450, Revised Statutes of tJ the United States, authority is li given for the con fiscal ion of toe 1 vehicle of transportation of illicit H liquor. The seizure will hardly lie contested by the Southern Kail- t way, aa it comes clearly under that e section of the Revised Ststutes of d the United States relating to the transportation of illicit whiskey. ? The ordinary freight car is valued ? at from $2,000 to $3,000. h I] The Number Seven. t Seven is n very lucky number, p and, judging from its fn queiit uh- j rh it kivmI iny.-itit*itI ami symbolical number, it was also very (?>p ular H days gone by.
