w WILL BE HUNG. F1 THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES AGAINST PINK FRANKLIN, ar co The Murderer of Constable Valenar tine and He Will Be Resentenced w; aiul Executed. th The State Supreme Court has bus- wi talned the lower Court In the case of be Pink Franklin, the Orangeourg nem gro, who wap convicted of the killing of H. E. Valentine, white, and w sentenced to be hanged on October m 25th, 1907. The case now goes down m to the trial Court for Franklin to be m resentenced unless his colored law- ar yers take an appeal to the United ja States Supreme Court, which, It is re said, they will do. The killing of Mr. Valentine caus- or ed quite a sensation at the time and fa there was fear of violence. Mr. Val- j^( entine, a constable, went to the house of Franklin to serve a warrant on TnTv <><) 1907. The warrant aharged Pink Franklin with breaking an agricultural contract, which had A been made finder the law elnce declared unconstitutional by the State Courts. When Valentine approached the of house of Franklin, the negro went N< Inside the house and Valentine th knocked on the steps. Soon after- Fi wards a shot was fired and Valen- gr tine' fell mortally wounded. The hi man who accompanied him, W. M. h? Garter, was also shot from Inside the <jj house. Franklin was also wounded and he claimed that Valentine burst Wj Into the house and fired at him be- ar fore he fired at Valentine. Pi Franklin was represented by Jacob be Moorer, of Orangeburg, and John Adams, of Columbia, both colored, f0 and they raised much the'same points ja that Moorer has used In contesting the election of Democratic Congressmen in this State, to-wit, that the ne laws of the State discriminates -p, against negroes. Of course, there is Ti absolutely nothing In their contentions, but the points serve to prolong ^ the life of Franklin. Sooner or later Franklin will be hung.

The Pointed Beards in Paris?To D?- ( fend Cause of Fat Men. "Pointed beards only need apply." This ie the law of the lateBt Parllian society of freaks?the "Spbenopo- 1 jones, as they call themselves. Its members, who are compelled by ' the rules of the society to wear point3d beards and mustaches, have band- ' Jd themselves together for the avnw?d mimosa of Dromotine perennial Joviality. It is a secret society. Its deliberations are secret, its dinners are se:ret, its happy evenings are secret and the names of its members can be seen only in the society's secret books. The Sphenopogones comprise lead- ! Ing politicians, literary men and artists living in various parts of France. Each member must be elected unanimously and must, under pain of severe penalties promise to wear a benrd which tapers symmetrically to a point and a mustacue also pointed at each end. Once a month the members dine together. The date and place of meeting are arranged by the "gonfalonier,'' as the treasurer is called, and the proceedings are kept strictly private, no one being adiaitted except duly enrolled members. If any member has between one dinner and another distinguished himself by writing a successful play or a book, or by painting a picture of exceptional merit, or by doing anything to earn public praise, he is greeted with uproarious applause. After dinner the possessors of th'e pointed beards give themselves up to conviviality in accordance with the terms of their secret charter. Wanted an Office Boy. There is a tale about a company promoter who wanted an office boy. He advertised and received 100 replies, out of the hundred he selecteu ten whom he interviewed, his choice falling upon an apparently bright youngster to whom he said: "My boy, I like your appearance and personality, and think you will do. Did you bring a character?" "No, sir," replied the ooy, "but i can go home anu get It." "Very well," replied the promoter. "Bring it back tomorrow, and 11 It is satisfactory I shall engage you." Late that same afternoon the promoter was surprised by tae return of the candidate. "Well,'' he asked of the uoy, "have you got your character?" "No," said tne boy, "but I got yours and I ain't coming, either!"?Hapgood's Ipportunitles. The First "Blue Book." The first "Blue Book" issued by the Government was In 1816. It had only 176 pages and listed 6.3*. names as the number of officials and employes of the Government.

Careful Blasting in France. In France tne depth of unll holes for blasting is res-i'ri. ted to V/z meters, or about Ave feet- The miner is forbidden to touch a hole alter It has once been fired, and when a shot is missed the hole must be drilled over. Bird Like a Flower. A remarkable bird in Mexico ia the bee martin which has a trick of rufling up the feathers on the top or its head into the exact semblance of a beautiful flower, and when a bee comes along to sip honey from the supposed flower it is snajiped up by the bird. There are snmp unfortunates who persist in turning their worst tide toward the world, and very ottcn tho temptation is ^reat to just leave tl.em alone. "Jutt one more kiss.

It proposed ?] :hat the General Assembly should t ibolish the commission appointed to t vind up the business of the institu;ion, thereby removing the issue aised by Judge Pritchard of a trust- i ;eeship of creditors' funds over j vhich the courts had proper juris- ( liction. The Post offered the above solution while the Legislature was * n session, and it could have been ' easily carried out, \ A HINT TO HUNTERS. \ Connecticut Farmer Says Deer Are Destroying His Vegetables. A farmer in the town of Barkhamiterl writes to the Hartford "Courant" > riptniipri stRtp.ment of what he has suffered from the ravages of deer in ;he past summer and of the meagre :ompensation with which he has been 'orced to content himself, that see:ns to form justifiable ground for complaint. The complaint is the more worthy of consideration from t|hc reasonable tone in which it is voiced, ind one is led thereby to believe that it is based in fact rather than in Imagination. This famer of Barkhamsted, to condense his troubles has had destroyed by deer this summer the product ot one-fourth of an acre of wax beans. 240 out of 1,259 cabbages, and threefourths of an acre of mangel wurtzels, getting from the latter three tons of crop, where he had reason to expect twenty tons. In compensation for all this damage the state has pair! him the sum of $20. He has to take that or nothing for there is no ?'i ing the state. Farmers who havi tried to raise crops of this sort, am? some others who have had experienci.with them, may judge how inadequate a sum mis is 10 pay a iaimci iui si large a part of a whole summer's labor. "I can't afford to work all summer like a slave and lose everything just for the pleasure of some city sports." says this farmer, sadly. Hasn't he come dangerously close to the real root of this matter? For what are we so jealously protecting our Connecticut deer? Why are we allowing them to multiply so unrestrainedly, to be so practically undisturbed that tftey venture with impunity on to the lan ' of any farmer, and into any field he cultivates? Is it from motives of humanity or love for the dear, graceful animals themselves? Not for a minute. The real motive back of this careful protection of the deer is the idea of certain misguided ones who think they are sportsmen, that in time we may be able to make Connecticut over into a happy hunting ground for at least a few weeks in a year, with the customary attachments to the deer shooting season elsewhere presumably. There are others than farmers who should have an interest in preventing any 6uch result. Meanwhile, let's face this deer situation fairly and sensibly. If we must protect the deer in all his depredations for a few years longer, let's see that the farmer who suffers gets just remuneration for his sufferings. In that way we shall run up a state deer expense account which by the time the legislature meets again will be sufficient to sober the statee into revising the deer protection law to a point which in a year or two will thin the deer into proper numbers lor the good of the state.?New Haven Register. A Canny Quaker. To get a subscription from Stephen Girard, founder of Girard College in Philadelphia was no easy matter, i* required tact and the r.ght introduction, and many failed while few succeeded. It is told, by the autnor of "The French Blood in America." that Samuel Coates, a genial Quaker, was one of tne few men who knew how to approach the eccentric millionaire. He was a manager of the Pennsylvania hospital, and called on Girard for the purpose if raising money tor the institution. "Well, how much do you want. Coates?" asked Girard, in his usua; brusque tones. "Just what thee pleases to give. Stephen," replied the quaker. Girar! wrote out a check for $2,ft00 unhanding it to Mr. Coates, was surprised to see that gentleman pocket il without looking at the amount. "What! You don't look to see how much I give you?" cried oiiard, inert '.ulously. "Beggars are not choosers Steph en,' replied the Quaker. "Give me back my check and I will change it,'* said Girard, after a moment's pause. "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, thee knows, Stephen, mildly replied the Quaker. WI thou* another word Girard sat down 21: wrote him out a second check fu S5 OilO His farm on the outskirts of Ph'' de'jhia is one of the best in the country, and while living in town lie often drove- out before breakfast to see that all was going well. Arriving one morning a ..ide earlier ihan ustia! he w?3 greatl ya-uioy^: at not finding his man at work on a renoo that he was building. The manV wife, noticing Girard approaching the house hurriedly awoke her husband and sent him to his dut'os by tluway of the back door. After visitin;; the bouse Girard returned to the fence and seeing the man at his post, reprimanded h'm for ^oina: late. "I'd been here, sir, but went back for a spade,"' sa:d tlio man. "No. you ha:!n't. I went and put my band in your bed and to ird it warm." lie discharged him on the spot. The man who writes with a quill Is naturally a poose.

It is really pathetic to witness the interest exhibited by the Republican jress in the welfare of the Demo iratic party this year. They are so ifraid that the party will nominate 3ryan and be defeated that they can iardly restrain their f?rief. i i n i. i .. ii ii mm/rngmm Why This Solicitudc? The New York Sun, which is own- ] ed out and out by the trusts and 1 which defends their interest on all i occasions, calls upon Senator Tillman of South Carolina to sDeak in c regard to the candidacy of William ^ Jennings Bryan. It concedes the : great influence of the South Carolinian upon the political sentiment of the South, but says that "the question is one of pure expediency r at a critical moment in the fortunes 1 of the Democratic party." "We all N know," says the Sun, "that Tillman 1 doesn't believe that Bryan could win if nominated, and so we hope every- j thing." That is to say, the Sun j hopes that Mr. Tillman will consent \ that South Carolina shall be repre- J sented in the Convention at \ Denver by an uninstructed delegation. "It is not the habit of the Southern States," says the Sun, "to send instructed delegations. Virgin- . ia does not, nor yet Louisiana. Alabama has not the habit, nor Tennessee. But there is one of them that can do more than all the others to keep the question open until the del <- 1-1- -1. r-v _ ' egaies assemuie au'i^eiivct , auu mau just now is South Carolina. Senator Benjamin R. Tillman has only to speak and all will listen anx- < iously. Will Senator Tillman speak?" < Why this great solitude about South i Carolina's action in sending dele- ' crates to the National Democratic .Convention on the part of the New J York Sun, which is one of the bitter- i est Republican papers in the coun- i try? Why is the Sun so anxious to 1 have Bryan who it admits will be elected President, defeated in the nominating convention? Is it because Mr. Bryan is too good a Democrat to suit.the Trusts, whom the Sun serves? The Sun need not worry itself about Senator Tillman. He ( is for Bryan and will use his influ- ] ence to have a Bryan delegation sent from this State, and all the honeyed words of the Sun will affect him not. j Defending Blindtigcrs. . 1 In speaking of the trial and conviction of a man for running a blindtiger in Atlanta the Atlanta Journal says: Rev. E. H. Peacock, Rev. Len G. Rrnncrhton's assistant, and as relent less a hounder of sin as ever smash-1 ed a whiskey bottle or burned a deck of cards, came into a terrific arraign-1 ment at the hands of Attorney A.! M. Brand, in the city court, criminal division, Friday. Mr. Brand, with Attorney T. W. Rucker, defended M. W. Jolley, a former police sergeant, who was arraigned for selling whiskey in the Virginia hotel. Mr. Brand is not the author of the Iconoclast, but he used iconoclastic methods Friday. He called Dr. Broughton's assistant an informer and spy. Mr. Peacock, it will be remembered, gave the information upon which they arrested Jolley. C. Mandel. proprietor of the Virginia hotel, and another man, on February 20. Jolley was tried Friday, found guilty, and fined $1,000 by Judge Calhoun, with the alternative of 12 months in the chaingang. Jolley will appeal. "Of all the capers that ever were cut," said Mr. Brand to the jury, "the capers of this man Peafowl are rhe limit. He goes around in the most despicaDie iorm Known iu man ' that of an informer and spy. As a Christian minister he hounds out some poor man, has him arrested, brought to court and fined. He is Peacock the avenger. How different from the meek and lowly Saviour, who went to men and said: 'Go thy way, and sin no more!' " If the ideas of this lawyer were carried out there would never be another conviction of a criminal in any of our courts. In his eyes any witness who testifies to the guilt of a man who is violating law is a spy and informer. Away with such . stuff. It is the duty of every honest man to help convict law breakers if he can do so by telling what he knows before a court. The man who called Rev. Mr. Peacock an informer and spy accepts money to shield a man that he kno^s to be a violator of law. What would you call him? The Cotton Acreage. How about the cotton acreage, farmers? We know you are advised so much that you pay little or no attention to the advice that is volunteered to you, but still we ?deem it our duty to point out certain facts to you so as you will be informed of the situation. A bumper crop of! cotton this year means low prices! next Fall. There is no market for goods. The mills cannot soli their! products and in consequence they j have been compelled to curtail pro-1 duction. A big crop this year j means six cents for cotton next Fall, j A 13,000,000 bale crop at six cents j would be worth only $390,000,000, | while a 10,000,000 bale crop at ten j I mm4-_-. mnnl.l 1m urnrfh ?:~00 000.000. i iui;u LO ? wuiu wv* TT V* V? v ~ , In the face of these facts, farmers, j j don't you think it would be a part J I of wisdom to reduce the cotton i I acreage and increase the food crop? ; , i The per-on who fire ! the shot j that killed Ex-Judge 0.

We hope so f( it least. t< It begins to look now as if those eceivers appointed by Judge Pritch- w ird will never get a chance to di- w 'ide out any of the State's money e imong themselves. u Eighteen days after he murdered i priest at his altar the Denver anirchist was sentenced to death. Had 8 \e committed his awful crime in South Carolina the chances are he ]( vould be out on a bail bond. i, A New York minister with plenty ? )f time to" figure out things" said c recently that it was more dangerous ? ;o be a railway brakeman than to be s i murderer. And he goes on to E prove his assertion with statistics, 0 showing that onlv one murderer in 73 is hanged, while one brakeman in ?very 30 is killed. ? The Washington correspondent of i The State says "it is universally con- r ceded that there are no Republi- * :an lawyers in South Carolina com- ' petent to sit on any kind of judical t bench." This is a mistake. Abial i Lathrop, Esq.. is an able lawyer and ? a honorable gentlemen. He would 1 make a better judge than Pritchard, j and as good as McCullough or any one else who would depend on c Pritchard's influence with Presidenc Roosevelt to get on the Federal ' bench.
