.Skipper Case
In Iho Skipper ease, which wa9
transferred for trial from thin
county to the county of Kairfield,
where the trial was had laut
month, the court cdsta for the per
diem of jurt re, bailiffs the dieting
of jurors, etc , amounting to
-i s 50, were paid by F.iirtield
county and bill of same itemized,
and certified to by the Clerk of
Court of Faiiiield county as pre-,
scribed by'la.v was presented to
our county treasurer who promptly
and properly sent a check for
the amount In the case of the
witnesses, however, both for the
Slate and the defense, and there
wero more than a hundred, the
certificate o-f the clerk of innrt nf
FiiirQrld Dames no umount
to he paid thorn l>u t
simply gives a list of them with
the number of days present and
the numbvr of ni'les. traveled.
Up m receipt of this statement
the clerk of court hero issue 1 pay
bills lo each witness at the per
diem allowed in Lancaster county
(which, by the way, is just double
the per diem allowed in Pairlield
or any other, except perhaps one
other county, in the State) but
the Judge, before whom the case
was tried, has not and refuses to
certify to the materiality of the
witnesses, and consequently the
j witnesses have not yet been paid,
the county treasurer holding that
he is net authorized to pay a witness
pay certificate unless it iH
signed by the trial judge and
; countersigned by the clerk of
c iurt. County treasurer (Jauthen
! lias referred the matter tithe
| Comptroller General to know if it
is r.eees-ary that the judge should
sign these certificates heforo he
has the right to pay them and
get credit for them in his annual
settlement.
j In the meaut'iiio tho witnesses
in ihe Skipper case need1 fe'el no
uneasiness They will got their
pay. In our opinion. Fairfield
county should have paid them
just as she paid the jurors, bail"
iffs and other expenses of the trial
j and then her clerk of court should
j have certified to the c^sts and
have collected it from Lancaster
county just as he did the othcrcovts
Hot she has not done so. Pu-haps
tho law does not re (pore it. I lie
j law on this point needs to ho interpreted,
hot, were it clear, it is
donhtful whether our sinter county
would have Assumed- the respon8it
ility of raying these witnesses
their per diem under tho law rerouting
to Lancaster county,
which law is thought hy many to
tie unconstitutional ?in direct conflict
with a provision' of tho constitution
of 1895 which provides
that no special law shall bo enacted
where a general law can he
made apphcahlo.
Tho county treasurer is unquestionably
right in refusing to pay
these witness certificates unless
presented properly authenticated.
Ho is a boudo 1 officer and the
people should appreciate his wish
to follow the law in the payment
of all claims against the county.
At the sumo timo ho, no doubt as
much as anyone else, rogrets tho
delay, perhaps inconvonionco occasioned
witnesses in not getting
their pay.

says:
41 Monday afternoon !he constables
paid Jouli Hinson at the Man
cheater Mill a visit. They were
givon a hospitable reception and
graciously accorded the privilege
of inspecting the house. Mr.
liinaon himself was in bed and in
another noom his wife was likewise
confined to her coucb, and
the ailing husband said she wa?.
aufToring very much, and indeed
her groans indicated hor serious
condition. Hut tho offcera knew
a thing or two and were certain
there was a good supply of booze
in the house. They failed to locate
it howevor and asked Mr.
ilinson the privilige of examining
the tied on which his wife was
1\ ing. This was cheerfully accorded
and Mr. Iiinson himself
turned up the mattress on aII sides
but when the constables suggested
that an examination bo made of
the spot where the woman was
lying, she sprang out of bed and
almost raised the shingles with her
denunctions of Jenkins especially.
An examination of the bed followed
and upon raising the blankets
and quilts a bask3t containing 23
pints nf corn whiskey was hauled
out and of this the oflicers took
and drove away."

While their hearts are bleeding

The little clothes laid by,
A mother's hope, a father's joy,
in deuth's cold arms doth lie. I
Go little pilgrim to thy home I
On yonder blessed shore.
We miss thee here hut soon will
come,
Where thou bust gone before.
