Richland county pays all court
expenses of the trinl of Colonel
Tillman. Our information is that
Richland county has no funds on
hand to pay these claims against
her and that having borrowed nil
the money she is permitted to do
under the law, she can borrow no
more this y?ar. If this be the
case, then the holders of these
claims will either have to hold
them until the taxes are collected
or "shave" their accounts at some
hunk. We mention this only as a

Seized Car and Liquor
V
United States revenue officials )
made quite an important seizure
in Columbia Saturday. 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

eaeher in our graded school severd
years ago, was in the city last
veek. Alter teaching elsewhere
or a couple of years he went to
rohns Hopkins to take a special
ourse in history and economics;
his course he will tinish next year
tnd will without doubt receive the
legree for which he has faithfully
shored. The appreciation of his
vork is shown by the fact that he
vas given a fellowship for this

Mr. Hollia thinks he will make
nother effort, but evidently somelie
