I am not sure I have understood what exactly it is that you're asking but if I got this right you need to specify the element's id (with a pound sign) before the pseudo selector. In your case, you have to do this:

#col-c:target { display: none; }

Also, as far as I know the "normal" is not a valid value for the "display" css property. You can check here (MDN) for the full list of property's values.

You can do this:

#col-c {
  display: none;
}

#col-c:target {
  display: initial;
}

And then Column C will only be shown when targeted. Since :target has greater specificity, the ordering does not seem to matter.
