Stata Treasurer Jennings Will V Also Be Opposed, * The Columbia State 8%ys since the adjournment of the legislature poMtlcs baa settled into more or less quietude, but talk of the comihg campaign for State offices is beginning to be heard on the streets, in the State bouse and In the p)ac< s where politiciana and their friends congregate. It is not probable that the campaign will be at all exciting. The-officers of the present administration, with the ex ception of two, seem assured of no op- •- position, and the public can hope for no repetition of the sensational sum mer of two years ago. ~ ' There has been no announcement of opposition to Gov. Heyward. It was rumored that Mr. Martin F. Ansel of Greepville, one of the candidates who made the race in 1902 and finished a Very close second, would again offer, ; but this has been set at rf st. Lieut. Gov. Sloan has no rival as yet. At torney General Gunter, now serving his first term, having been assistant to Attorney General G. Duncan Bel linger previous to that timet may be re-elected withput being opposed, it _ Is safe to say. Secretary of Stafc J.

State Treasurer Jennings will not have a bed of roses tb tread upon "in the good old summer time, r ’ if Dame Rumor can be credited. She says that three candidates have already arrayed themselves against him. % It was stated authoritatively Thurs day that Dr. D. M.

Stewart, passenger agent of the Seaboard, Thursday received a letter from Dr. Cbas. Gurneer, of Evansville, Ind., who is now in Charleston, in re gard to establishing a German-Ameri- can colony somewhere in this state. Dr. Gurneer has interested himself in this idea considerably and desires to purchase anywhere ..from 1 T 000 to 10,000 acres of swamp land which can he obtained cheap and then after draining it render it suitable for colo nization bv a large colony of German citizens who are now in the state o? Indiana. They are not satisfied with the climate and wish'to come South. Dr. Gurneef is now in Charleston and expects to go to Summerville where he will inspect the Frencb-Canadian colony and afterwards will come to Columbia for a conference with the Seaboard officials. It is Impossible that the colony^may be located very near this city and if not it may be up near Cheraw. The Seaboard people wlH do all they can to have it located near Columbia. , . ■ The office of commissioner of immi gration is in receipt of a large number of ‘inquiries in regard to statistical information about the state. From the Tacts now on hand tn this office the inquiries can be answered at once and in this way the state is being well advertised.

The circulars were received here Wednesday and put into operation Wednesday morning,' with the result that hundreds of applicants lor official grog were turned down by the dis pensers and clerks who were unwilling to take the chances of continuing the promiscuous violation of the law in selling liquor to prescribed persons and otherwise ignoring the provisions of the act which were incorporate for the purpose of making the law a moral measure. The conduct of the dispensaries has been a scandal in Charleston In the respect of tbe neglect of certain provisions of tbe law by tbe dispensary manage ment which - was bent on mak ing large sales. The circular of the State board aims to stop this violation of tbe law by the dispensers, and to require the official* of the system to live up to tne requirements just as the outside public must obey the law. The example of the officials obeying tbe law is to be set before tbe public that tbe usually most effective argu ment against the dispensary may be removed. Many people, who are pre- judloed against the law» eaae their conscience In the jury box by declir- ing that the blind tigers should not be punished for violating the law since the dispensers themselves are con stantly breaking the law. A complete compliance of the law by tbe officials will have a most wholesome effect on public sentiment, not to speak of the public moral benefit which can be done by the dispensers themselves to follow ing closely the provisions‘Of the law. The matter of complying with the spirit and letter of the law Is not to be left entirely with the conscience of the dispensers, for, it is uodetstood that from time to time, a little bit of detective work will be done by the Columbia authorities to ascertain- If the law Is being observed. Parties who give fictitious names in making name in making application for liquor, negroes who do not sign their nam )8 or make their ffiark, drunkards ar.d minors will call at the counters of ttie dispensers and if they secure theljr .liquors as they have done in the past, there will be_trouble for dispensers. The penalty' is dismissal from offlej, and also prosecution in the Sbaje courts by the circuit solicitor, who will also institute civil proceedings against the dispensers’ 'bonds, the principal and sureties being also re sponsible under the act. The violation of tbe law is conse quently not to be a trivial offense, will be so indiscreet as to sell liquor to parties who are on the prciwirlbed list or who are not even known to the dispensers personally) unless these applicants provide themselves with a certificate for the purchase of the liquor, signed by some responsible party, who Is known to the dispenser. The dispenser turned down many appliconts Wednesday., morning and -they.gut tired of making the explana tion of their reason, so march so, that later in the day, they simply refused to sell or give any satisfaction to par ties, pnder age or known to use 1 liquor to excels, leaving the applicants to find out for themselves as best tb ?y could why the existing order of things Wbjr Beard’s Distillery la Greenville Was Seised by this Offloers. One of the most Interesting cases which the collector of revenue will take to the session of court which meets in Greenyjlie liTTnxrat two weeks is the prosecution of a distiller named Be^rd. This distiller was operating'ifTJlant near the city of Greenville and had a permit from the governmentiis well as from the State. It was suspected that there was something wrong and the place was watched. Finally it was discovered that in his warehouse there was a trap door giving access to a big still in a concealed basement. This illicit still, was operated to avoid the pay ment of license on the stuff manufac tured. From the legalized still some distance away there were pipes bring-j-- 0 f ing in the steam necessary fur working the mash and operating the retort. There was no escape of steam to indi cate where the false basement was, and the only means of access was the trap door which was always covered with a pile of old sacks and could not be seen with the naked eye. The ring by which the door was raised was the only thing which discoled its loca- tiori and that would not have been found had not the officers been look ing for it. The refuse from the hid den still was carried by means of un derground pipes to the spot where ttie refuse from the legalized still was dqmped. The whole plant warseized by the revenue officers. This distillery had-formerly been operated in the name of the Babb brothers, who were supposed to have ah Thtei^gt in it evm. when it was running in Beard’s name. Both John and Tully Babb have been defendants .frequently in the federal and State courts, answering to the charge bf violating the liquor laws. It used to be a regular thing for the dispensary constables tb run in Tully Babb every week or sew and at one time there was a stack of indictments piled up against him in the Greenville court. .He and his brother look like the typical coun try youths of the poorer class; they are of rather Innocent countenance but old in the ways of the transgres sor.

The New York state board of medi ation has recently published an annual report. Up to September, 1903, there were motje strikes, lockouts and labor troubles In general in New York than In any previous year, excepting per haps the year 1880. During the past year there were 192 labor , troubles, Involving 117,000 employees, and in consequence 3,900,000 working days were lost. Owing to the New York building trades strikes 37,037 laborers were Idle, tbe total loss In wages amounting to nearly seven million dollars.

A letter from Greenville to The State says the court of common pleas has been engaged for three days in hearing a most extraordinary case, in which the Southern railway Is asked to pay 150,000 damages to Mrs. Susan L.

Tbe jury brought in a verdict Friday af ternoon for *25,000 in the plaintiff’s favor. Mrs. Franklin Is a comely woman, unusually self-possessed on tbe witness stand, with readiness and intelligence in giving testimony that is surprising and uncommon, and apjrrediting the bearing of evidence upon tbe essHn han^.

Soon after the train left Greenville one of these men engaged her in conversation, taking a seat by ber side, making Indecent pro posals, putting bis arm arou'nd her waist and using: familiarities against her protest, though she endured tbe unpleasant treatment for a quarter of an hour or more. Ths men were drinking and bebpving unseemly but only one of them made approaches to her. On tbe cross examination Mrs. Franklin said that the conductor was iu the car tbe most of tbe time when the man was annoying and insulting ber and made no effort to stop bis un ruly behavior until she appealed to him for protection, when the conduc tor told the man he must desist or be would put him off the traio. The man claimed that he was a detective, but the conductor said be must behave or else he could not ride any further on his trains which put & quietus to the men except that they continued to drink and use indecent language, but the conductor had removed her to the ceutre of the cpr, where be bad been seated for some time.

The dispatch said In part: “Tbe Instructions of the board war* put into operation this morning, caus ing no litte trouble among tbe patron* l of the State official grog »bop*. The conduct of the dispensaries has been a perfect scandal in Charleston in the unrestrained manner in wbioh liquor was sold to minors, drunkards and ' blind tigers and in the'general failure of tbe dlspensay officials to observe tbe law.” Tbe circular here referred to was not sent to tbe Charleston dispensere. alone but to all the dispensers through* out tbe State. At the March meeting the board of directors the following . resolution was adopted: "Resolved, That the clerk of this board Is bereby Instructed to forward a copy of tbe dispensary law to each dispenser in the State, with Instructions to strict ly comply with sections 560; *67, *68 and 569 of said law.” Section 566 Is that which requires tbe written application for liquor*. This section also requires the apf^tottut to state that he or sb« is not a minor or a drunkard. It is as follows: "Before selling or delivering any intoxicating liquors to any person a request must be presented to the county dispenser, printed or written iu ink, dated of the true date, stating . tbat be or she is of sge and the resi dence of the signer, for whom or whose tuFlt is required, the quantity and kind required and bto or her true name; and the request shall be signed by tbe applicants in bis own true name and signature, attested by tbe county dispenser or bis clerk who rw ceives and tllei the requeit.
