Blind tigers usually have a whole?
some respect for the Internal revenue
laws and take pains to keep out of
the clutches of Uncle Sam. therefore
they will be Intereated In a recent or?
der of the Attorney General. The fol?
lowing editorial paragraph from the
surrent laaue of the Youth'a Compan?
ion has a timely local application:
"In aplte of the prohibitory lawa of
the Statea, holdere of Internal revenue
licenses are allowed to sell liquor un?
der certain reatrlctlona. Violators of
the law have heretofore been punish?
ed by rtne. The United 3tatea Attor?
ney General has lately ordered district
attorneys to secure, it poaalble, a sen
tence of Imprlaonment for the guilty,
Instead of a willingly paid fine. The
aatlonal government la thua attempt
Ittf to cooperate with the State, so far
as feasible, In the enforcement of a
restraint on the aale of liquor. Now
af the local Jurlea refuae to convict In
view of the likelihood of a aentence
ef lmpriaonme.it, the responsibility
will reat upon the cltlzena of the
Baste, and not upon the national gov?
ernment ."
Sumter Enforces the Law.
r -
The arreat of a number of persons,
white and black, In Sumter, on the
charge of selling whtakey, accentuates
She truth that prohibition can be ef?
fective only when the people are con?
stantly on the alert to enforce the law.
That violations of the law have not
keen uncommon in Sumter Is now a
matter of record. At the same time,
It la plain that the people of Sumter
will not tolerate the aettlng of the law
st naught and that they are reaolved
that vlolatora be punished. The con?
viction of Bostlck was obtained In
spite of the fact that hla defense was
decidedly stronger than that usually
presented bv one charged with auch
an onVnse. It .a especially algnlflaent
that the Jury woe compoaed of Intelli?
gent and representative bualnesa men

existence of a sentiment vigorous
enough to put down th.? law breakers
In this connection It may be worth
while to remark that under the conn
tjr option plan the good citizens of
tsch community i>re on their mettle
t> see that the laws against selling
whisk *y are reserved. The aubatltu

from the communities to the Stato a

The Watchman and Southron having decided to double its service by
semi-weekly publication, would improve that service by special features.
The first to be inaugurated is this Department for the Farmers' Union and
Practical Farmers which I have been requested to conduct. It will be my
aim to give the Union news and official calls of the Union. To that end
officers, and members of the Union are requested to use these columns.
Also to publish such clipulngs from the agricultural papers and Govern?
ment Bulletins as I think will be of practical benefit to our readers. Ori?
ginal articles by any of o-r readers telling of their successes or failures
will be appreciated and ) ubllshed.
Trusting this Department will be of mutual benefit to all concerned,

?ATM SAIiOMOX, PATRIOT.
Jew Broker Wa** Real Financier of
Revolution.
Haym Salomon, the Jew broker,
whose money made possible the suc?
cess of the American Rvolutlon waa
a native of Poland, the land of Pu
laskl and Koslvsko, the brave fel?
lows who unsheathed their swords for
human liberty, writes Dr. Madison C.
Peters, in the "Washington Post.
Salomon was born at Lissa in 1740.
of Portuguese decent. His family
was highly respectable and learned
After visiting many countries and ac?
quiring various languages, Salomon
came to America, probably soon after
the partition of Poland in 1772.
In 1778 'he was taken prisoner in
New York by the British genera!, Sir
Henry Clinton, on charges that he
had received orders from Washington
to burn fleets and store houses, and
had made the attempt.
But Salomon got into trouble ear?
lier than this for his patriotism. Aa
early as 1775 he had made himself
obnoxious to the British. He was
confined in the prison known as the
"prevost." which stood on the spot
now occupied by the old hall of rec- \
ords in City Hall park. In this loath-j
some den he suffered inhuman treat?
ment. He was liberated through the
inlluence of a Hessian commander,
named H?lster, and made his way to
Philadelphia. and there married
Rachel Frank, sister of the distin?
guished Col. Jacob Frank, of the R? v
'dutlonary war.
Hi became an uncompromising
foe to Erltish domination. He was
engaged in banking and money lend?
ing, and several European financial
houses did their business through
him. The hand of Salomon was
beneath every pecuniary help this
country received from abroad. He
was intrusted with tin- negotiation of
all the war subsidies of France and
Holland "on his own personal secu?
rity." Which were disposed to the resi
d nt merchants in America, without
any loss, at a credit of two and three
months, for which he received only
0f|#?fourth of 1 per cent.
Wien Count de la Luseme i.eeann"

made banttC? for that government.
He was appointed by |f, Roquobrune,
'eaeurer of the froccf of Francs In
America, and made paymaster gen*
eral, which office he Riled without
?nil iy.

Immediately aftof the peace of
17^'?. a hi n foreign commerce co?*1d

oceon, Salomon engaged as ? trad I ig
( merchani to European ports. H<
had several ships upon the sea. bul
through the failure of merchants in
whom he placed confidence he suf?
fered great loss.
He was always eager to help his
fellow-man. He gave every assistance
to those who commenced trading af?
ter the war.
To the president of the national
bank, whose partner was the super?
intendent of finance, he gave two
loans of $40,000 and $24,000, and
never received a penny of interest.
This firm was known as Willing,
Morris & Swaneck. It is doubtful if
he ever got any of his money back.
In Madison's letter to Virginia in
1781, he writes: "My wants are so
urgent that it is impossible to sup?
press them. The case of my breth?
ren is equally alarming," and later
he declares that "the kindness of our
friend in Front street (Mr. Salomon)
is a fund that will preserve me from
extremities, but I never resort to it
without great mortification, as he ob?
stinately rejects all recompense. The
necessitous delegates he gratuitously
spares from his private stock." Called
on to advance the entire pay for en?
suing years to Jones, Randolph, and
Madison as members of the Revolu?
tionary congress, it was in writing
allotted that Madison should get 50 lbs
les? than the other two, but Salomon,
seeing in Madison, then only twenty
nine years of age, great talents, for
which he became afterward distin?
guished, presented him from his own
private purse the 50 lbs. and this
equalised pay <>f the whole delegation
.Tared Sparks, the historian, de?
clared "the person who did loan the
cash to a member to relieve his dis?
tress in that day, was in no expec?
tation of ever getting repaid."
Funds were also given to Jefferson.
Ross. Duane, Reed, Mercer, Arthur,
Lee, Harrison. MtfRn. Hittenhouse
Randolph and others.
Henry Wheaton says that Judge
Wilson, so distinguished for his la?
bors in the convention that framed
the Federal constitution, would have
retired from public service had he
not been sustained by the timely aid
of Haym Salomon, aid administered
as delicately as It was generously.
It is true that other men sub?

Jare l Sparks wrote many years ago
that Salomon's associations with
Robert Morris "were very close ami
Intimate, and that a great part of the
success that Morris attained in his
financial schemes was due to the skill
and ability of Haym Salomon.
Salomon died suddenly in 1785, at
the age of forty-five, left his affairs
In a tangle, and his wife and four
children, to use the language of the
congressional report, "to hazard and
neglect." He had great claims due
him, quantities of public securities,
bonds, notes and mortgages, govern?
ment securities and other valuable
papers.
For any account of Haym Salo?
mon's dealings with the government
we have to depend chiefly upon con
gressional reports. Almost all book?
and papers dealing with him and hi
affairs were destroyed when the
British pillaged and burned the pub?
lic archives.
The oft-repeated observation of the
ingratitude of republics applies with
striking force to the "little Jew
broker." Here is his obituary no?
tice, taken from the Pennsylvania
Journal and Weekly Observer of
January 8, 1785:
"On Thursday, died Haym Salo?
mon, a broker."
That's all! The real financier of
the American Revolution, one of the
greatest benefactors of his country,
and the foremost philanthropist of
his day! Surely, this American re?
public should now, in this twentieth
century, give credit to the Jew broker
whose pricely munificence made
possible our peerless republic.

CLEM SOX BOARD MEETS.
Will Not Elect President at Present
Sesaion.
Clemson Colege, March 1.?The reg?
ular spring meeting of the board of
trustees convened here tonight for
transaction of routine business. All
the members are present, but Senator
Tillman, Col. Simpson, Mr. Mauldin
and Mr. Richards.
It is understood that the board will
not go into the election of a president
at this meeting. The election of a
president of the board and a secretary
of the board will be held. Col. Allan
Johnstone and Dr. P. H. Sloan now
hold these postions, and will doubtless
be reelected. The board of Visitors
will also be elected, and probably an

"In fact a very large sum of

"That's so."
"You mentioned, too, that the own

sum found and describing the purse?"
"Yes; go on."
"That is all I wanted to ask."
"But you will have to give a de?

claim it."
"I haven't lost any purse."
"You haven't?"
"Xo."
"Then w hy on earth ha v.- you call?

MEAT JUMPS ! I* AGAIN.
Scarcity of supply Given As The
Cause, Despite Indictments,
New York, Feb. 28.?Meat prices'
soured today, and James E. Bathgate,
Jr., one of the Indicted directors of
the National Packing Company, ar?
ranged to give $2,500 bail to guaran?
tee his pleading to the charge of con?
spiring to raise the cost of living.
Bathgate is the tirst of the indicted
packers to offer to surrender, and will
probably be the last. The others have
declared that they intend to fight
extradition stoutly.
Search of the cold-storage ware?
houses in Jersey City resulted in the
discovery of interesting exhibits
among which was a brace of chickens
and a turkey as black as ink from
the long association with frigid tem?
peratures, and also one turkey which
had been frozen 422 days in an arti?
ficial Artie Zone. The keeper of the
warehouse said that the creature
was as good to eat as it had ever
been, and that he was willing to have
it served to him at any time. The
inspectors bore away the venerable
bird for analysis and bacteriological
examination.
Pierre P. Garven, the prosecutor,
whose activities caused the indict?
ment of the packers, will go to Tren?
ton next Monday to argue in favor of
the James bill for regulating cold
storage wholesale prices.
Meats and poultry took their sec?
ond sharp advance, since the indict?
ment was found, early this morning,
and scarcity of supply was given as
the reason. Beef was 10 1-2 cents a
pound, an increase of 1 cent over the
price of last week; mutton reached
13 1-2 cens, an increase of 2 cents a
pound; veal was offered at from 15
to 17 cents and hams at 19 cents. An
Increase of 3 cents a dozen was noted
in the price of eggs.
Mr. Bathgate's attorney, Robert S
Hudspeth, appeared before Judges
Blair and Cary, In Jersey City, and
declared that his client was willing to
plead to the charge against him. Mr.
Hadspeth requested that the sheriff be
a little deliberate with any capiases
delivered into his hands, and not
take Mr. Bathgate Into custody forci?
bly.
It Is likely that tomorrow or Wed?
nesday Mr. Bathgate will stand at the
bar of justice to commence his bat?
tle against the conspiracy charge
The sum of $2,500 was accepted as
satisfactory bail by the prosecutor's
ofilee, although Major Vickers, the
Assistant Prosecetor, said that $2,
500 was not to be regarded as a stand?
ard of the amount to be deposited
by the non-resident packers.
The other defendants are residents
of Illinois, Missouri and Nebraska,
although most of them are Chicago
men. Richard V. Lindabury and Wil?
liam D. Edwards represent them in
New Jersey and Samuel Untermyer
and Lewis Marshall, of this city, are
of counsel.
Mr. Garven said today that proceed?
ings toward the extradition of all the
persons indicted wou'd be begun
without delay. His atMtude toward
the packers has undergone a change
since they sounded their shrill note
of defiance from Chicago.
The necessary papers are now
oeing prepared, and probably tomor?
row warrants will be in the hands of
the Sheriff. It is improbable that the
"confederate defendants" will be ar?
rested immediately, but a requisition
will be made lor them by Governor
For! upon the Governors of Illinois
and other States.
Should the executives of the West?
ern States decide to honor the de?
mand for defendants, arrests will be
made and the packers delivered to
the New Jersey authorities. If requi?
sitions are disregarded, Sheriff Weldln,
of Hudson county, would be on the
alert lor any of the indicted men who
might appear within the borders of
New Jersey.?Baltimore Sun.

a crowd gathered at Tenth and

CORPORATION TAX DELIX
QUEXT8.
Penalties t<* be Imposed May Amount
To One Million Dollars If Law is
Carried Out.
Columbia, March 1.?Although it is
ruled that all Federal corporation
taxes mailed today will not subject
those paying them to penalty, it is ex?
pected that the list of non-returns will
be comparatively large when the mat?
ter is checked up tomorrow at the of
ftce of the collector of internal reve?
nue for South Carolina. The penalty
ranges from $1,000 to $10,000 and the
appearances were this afternoon that
a number of firms would lay them?
selves liable to this penalty, although
returns were coming in very fas*, to?
day.
It is estimated that unless many re?
turns come in tomorrow the penalties
in this State may reach a high-waier
mark, even as high as a million dol?
lars if the letter of the law Is obeyed.
But it cannot be told until tomorrow
what the situation is in regard to the
application of the new Federal cor?
poration tax in this State.
WHISKEY FIRMS SETTLE.
Friedman, Keiler & Co. Sent $1,535.
To Attorney General.
Columbia, March 2.?The restitu?
tion fund is growing. Attorney Gen?
eral Lyon yesterday received a check
from Friedman, Keiler & Co., of Pa
ducah, Ky., for $1,535.
There was no overjudgment against
the firm as all of its dealings with the
State dispensary had been closed up
several years before the commission
was appointed. The money was se?
cured by the firm of Anderson, Feld?
er & Rountree of Atlan^..
The restitution fund has reached
nearly $60,000, and other large sums
are expected.
This firm at Paducah was one of
the first visited by Mr. Lyon and Mr.
Christensen on their graft hunt. Be?
ing novices at the time, they could
find nothing.
ASKS GOVERNOR TO VETO ACT.
Augustine T. Smythe Argues Fire?
man's Pension Bill.
Columbia, March I.?Mr. Angustine
T. Symthe, of Charleston, appeared
before Governor Martin F. Ansel to?
day and argued that the "firemen's
pension bill," enacted at the recent
session of the general assembly is un?
constitutional, and that it should not
be approved by the Governor. The po?
sition was taken that inasmuch as the
Act has not yet. been signed by Gov?
ernor Ansel and the Chief Executive
is sw'orn to support the Constitution,
if the Act is shown to be unconstitu?
tional the Governor should withhold
his signature.
In this very unusual hearing the I
State was represented by Assistant
Attorney General DeBruhl, who took
the position that inasmuch as the Act
In question lays down a condition for
Insurance companies to enter and do
business that its constitutionality
should not be brought into the dis?
cussion at this time. The argument is
that the firms do not have to enter if
they do not want to. but having en
tered should obey the conditions as
laid down In the Act.
The Act in question being designed
In part to aid In maintaining a fire de?
partment. Mr. Smyth pointed out
In his argument before Governor An?
sel that "the City of Charlestor. has
made its own provision for the relief
of disabled firemen by setting aside by
ordinance a portion of the tax paid by
fire insurance companies into the
treasury of the city." Thus it was
pointed 011% that a fireman's pension
should be left to the municipalities.
Mr. Smythe added: "This Act whilst
not specifically mentioning pensions Is
undoubtedly an Act allowing money
t.? 1?.- used for that purpose."
