We cannot understand why the
people of Bamberg will not erect a
cotton warehouse. The money is here,
but those who <have it seem too short
sighted to invest in an enterprise
which will not only be a great benefit
to the farmers, but will pay good
dividends. We have argued the
matter time and again in this paper
. and worked personally as well. We
secured the commission to organize
the company a few months ago,
but when the time appointed for the
organization meeting came, only a
few were present. This fall there will
again be a great dealxof talk about
the need of a warehouse, but talk
H,wont't do any good.

GIBSON GETS SIX MONTHS.
Aged Defendant in Bond Case Received
Sentence.
Last Wednesday Thomas J. Gibson,
who was found guilty at the Rich-,
land spring term of court, 1907, of
complicity in the stealing of bonds
from the office of the State treasurer,
was brought before Judge Wilson
and the sealed sentence which
Judge Prince left in the hands of the
clerk of court was pronounced upon
him. The sentence of the court is
that he be confined in the penitentiary
for a period of six months, not
at hard labor.
The charge upon which Gibson was
tried was receiving stolen goods,
knowing them *to have been stolen.
Daniel Zimmerman,1 former clerk in
~Cfo+ck troacnrpr was
U1C UllJtC Ui UMtkV UVWVIAV.I ..
charged with stealing from that office
$12,500 worth of canceled bonds
and disposing of them through Gibson,
a local bond broker. Zimmerman
pleaded giiilty to the theft of
the bonds and testified that Gibson
disposed of them, the two dividing
the spoils. Zimmerman was sentenced
to serve three Jears at hard
labor in the State penitentiary. After
Gibson's case went torthe jury he
went to his home and was not able to
be in the court room when the verdict
of the jury was rendered.
A sealed sentence was therefore
filed with the clerk of court, but at
each successive term of court Gibspn
has presented affidavits that he was
too ill to be present and receive sentence.
He is an aged man and showed
si ens ofvbeiner very feeble when he
appeared in court. The sentence of
the court that he be imprisoned for
six months without hard labor was
read to him, and his attorneys gave
notice of motion to appeal. Bail was
granted in the sum of $2,000, which
was&iven arid" Gibson returned to his
home.
PRITCHARD TAKES JURISDICTION.
i
I Decides That the State Can Be Sued in
the Dispensary Cases.
I Asheville, I*eb. 29.?Deciding that
his court would assume jurisdiction/and
inquire into the merits of the claims of
many liquor houses .against the South
Carolina dispensary board, and continuing
until Saturday argument on the
question of appointing a receiver for the
$800,000 fund left by the late dispensary,
and now in the hands of thq winding-up
commission of the"state, Judge Pritchard
rendered an opinion today which lays
down a broad principle of importance and
widespread scope.
The opinion of the judge appears to
1 1J 4-1...4. n ofaffl aniTQirCO 1T> f}lP
J I1UIU UlAt WI1C12 CL ObOM/ *** vmw
I whiskey business or other business not
1 necessary to preserve its autonomy or
sovereignty it waives its rights under the
eleventh amendment to the constitution
of the United States not to be sued without
its consent. f
Not less interesting than the opinion
is the condition which the taking of
jurisdiction creates?that is, ample possibility
for a conflict between the state
of South Carolina and the federal court.
Even now there is pending, -to be heard
March 4 by the supreme court of South
Carolina, a petition presented to it by
Attorney General Lyon, which asks^hat
the commission be compelled to pay out
of the dispensary fund certain amounts
he needs to prosecute those whiskey men
whbm he declares have swindled South
Carolina out of untold thousands through
alleged collusidfc with the old dispensary
board, 'which bought their liquors; an act
which the commission refuses to perform
because of Judge Pritchard's former
order that it pay out no money until
further orders.
The attorney general expects that no
trouble will come of this because the
supreme court will consider the proceeding*
before Judge Pritchard, but it is |
feared that trouble may come in other
ways; for example, if Judge Pritchard,
should appoint a receiver and the commission
should decline to turn over the
fund to the receiver.
It was under these circumstances that
the court today disposed temporarily of
the Fleischmann bill filed by George B.
Lester and Merrick & Baynard, and took
up the general creditors' bill filed by T.
Moultrie Mordecai, of Charleston, and
Frank Carter, of Asheville, in which a
receiver is also asked.
There was a mild assertion that the
Paul Jones company, also a creditor, had
turned "state's evidence;" had told the
commission all it knew about rascality
committed by others in the sale of liquor
and thereby so placated the commission
that that body consented that the Pkul
Jones company* should be paid what was
agreed as due it. Then arose an objection
by attorneys of other creditors to
this payment, the upshot of which was
that the court said that it would order
tne payment 11 me euunuissiun tame m
and stated that the account was agreed
oi}, an action the other attorneys think
the commission likely to do, as it is disputing
the court's jurisdiction.
And then there is incidentally the claim
by South Carolina people that the taking
of control by tne federal court, will
render the state helpless to prosecute
the alleged swindlers of the dispensary
whom Attorney General Lyon has been
so vigorously pursuing because he must
depend on getting the ammunitions of
war from the fund controlled by the
court.

SAFE' Btf)WN AT BLENHEIM.
'v, *
Yeggratn Secure $69 from the Store
of J. J. Hood.
Bennettsville, Feb. 29?Safe
blowers at Blenheim, a small town
about seven miles from here, blew
open the safe of J. J. Hood, a merchant
at that place, last night and
got away with about $69 in cask
There is no clue to the robbers.
*The robbery was not discovered
until this morning when Hood's clerk
went to the store to open up. On
opening the door he saw the doors of
the safe lying on the floor and paper
and other debris scattered about.
The safe is a total wreck. Investigation
showed that the robbers must
have entered with a skeleton key, as
the door<6f the store was closed as
usual this morning when the clerk
went to open up.
- Further investigation showed that
the yeggmen had gotten their tools
from the blacksmith shop of W. J.
Atkinson close by the scene of the
robbery. It is said that from appearances
some one familiar with
Atkinson's shop must have been concerned
in the robbery; that the traces
left showed that some one had run
their arm under the door and raised
the latch and entered and secured the
tools. . j . *
After drilling holes dynamite was
used to force the doors, and all the
work was done and the thieves vanished
without any one seeing or hearing
them.
Burglars Busy in Barnwell.
Barnwell, March I'.?There have
been several robberies in Barnwell
within the last two weeks and it looks
as if some organized gang is systematically
at work.v About ten days ago
the county treasurer's office was
broken open during the night and
the contents of the safe taken. Forfnnafolv
tJipro was vprv littlo monev

within the burglar's reach and he secured
only about $4. A few nights
later the county dispensary was robbed
of about $25 in cash and a small
amount of y whiskey.
Again last night an unsuccessful
attempt was made to'rob the treasurer's
office. Fortunately for the
county "Capt. J. B. Armstrong, the
treasurer, had taken the precaution
to engage the services -of a night
watchman and when the would-be
robber entered the office he was surprised
by the watchman and-frightened
away. The robber was recogniz?l
by the watchman and no doubt
an arrest will be made on Monday.
This attempt was made between daylight
and sunrise. >
The home of the Hon. J. 0. Patterson,
congressman from the second
district, was also entered early this
morning. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson
are ooth in Washington and only two
of their jgrown sons were sleeping in
the house. The burglar entered their
room; took their trousers out and

the pockets. He secured several dollars
in silver, but fortunately missed
some bills of large denomination and
a check that was in one of the pockets.

^Post Office Supplies by Wholesale.
The Charleston postoffice received
Friday "two box cars of stamped envelopes
and postal cards, that office

with the arrival of the supplies
came an order from seven postoffices
in Florida for supplies, which were
