SHORT WEIGHTS IN COLDIBIA. Government Experts Find Scales and Measures Inaccurate. Columbia, June. 26.-Weights and measures used. in Columbia are gen erally incorrect, the errors favoring as a rule the dealer as against the. consumer; and, upon a showing to this effect by federal experts, the city council has set for itself the task of remedying matters. The situation is complicated and its proper readjustment will require some time. The promising feature is the cordial cooperation which the mer chants themselves offer. It is realiz ed, by city council as well as by the government agents, that the losses inflicted by short weights and meas ures upon the consumers are inflicted innocently and ignorantly by most of the dealers so offending, and these merchants say they will be very glad to have their standards corrected. In April experts from the bureau of standards of the national department of commerce and labor quietly made an investigation into the weights and measures used in Columbia, under the direction of Mr. M. H. Stillman. May or Gibbes knew of the investigation, and, foreseeing the importance of its bearing, asked to be furnished with a copy of the report, embodying the dindings of the experts. This report has just come to hand, from Director S W. Stratton, of the bureau of stan dards. TWELVE CONSTABLES REMOVED. ection in Accordance With Advices From County Officials.

It was n accordance with the letters receiv-1 x that Gov. Blease acted today. The six wet counties are not affect dl. Charleston, Richland, Beaufort, morence and Georgeltown retain all heir constables. Aiken does not have hiskey constables because of the: ural policemen that are employed in hat county. Gov.
