All his property is left to Mrs. Harrlman. Wall street estimates that Mrs. Harr in* mi will Inherit In realty' and personal property between 75.000,000 and $ 100.066.666. Mr. Harrlman's private fortune Is supposed to have beam greater than this by many mil tlesas. but there Is reason to believe that his unmarried daughters, Mary and Carol, his msrrled daughter, Mrs. Rebei t 'Livingstone Gerry, and his two sons, William Averell and Ro tand. a boy of 14. together with his nur\? ring sister, Mrs. Simons, and othet rt6attve*i have all been substan? tially provided for In gifts out of band and trust funds set aside by Mr. M?ril?nwn during his lifetime.

W. 81bert THE LAW AS TO .ITHIKS. How They Are Drawn And Who Arc Eligible. One of the best lawyers in the city I has assisted The Daily Mail in the preparation of the following article, setting forth the law as to the draw? ing of Juries. The county auditor, county treasur? er and clerk of the circuit and su? perior courts constitute the board of Jury commissioners (Sec. 2909, Civil Code); and they shall perform the duties of the office without compen? sation (Sec. 2910.) On or before the 5th day of Janu? ary of each year the Jury commis? sioners shall prepare a statement of the number of Jurors to be In atten? dance for each term of court during the year see and the county com? missioners shall, during the month of January prepare a list of such le? gally qualified voters (from the books of the county board of regis? tration) not absolutely exempt, as they think, well qualified to serve as Jurors; of good moral character sound. Judgment, free from legal ex? ceptions, from the county at large, without regard to whether such per? sons live within seven miles of the court house, j (Sec. 2911). When the list has thus been pre? pared the Jury commissioners shall cause the names to be written on slips, folded evenly and placed In the Jury box, to be furnished by the county board of commissioners. (The number of names of qualified voters placed in the box Is one third of the total number of qualified voters in the county after those who for any reason are exempt, have been taken out; in this county 2,000). The clerk of court shall keep the box in his custody and there shall be three keys to the locks* one for each member of the board of Jury commissioners. (Sec. 2912.) Within fifteen days before the commencement of any regular, and ten days before any special term of court, the clerk of the court is re? quired to issue writs of venire facias Tor Jurors, requiring their attendance tit the opening day of court. (Sec. 2913). These venires are to be deliv? ered to the sheriff of the county, and served by him without delay, upon the county board of commissioners. (Sec. 2914.). I But, it Is provided in the next sec? tion. 29IB. of the civil code, that nothing in this chapter shall prevent the clerk of the eourt from Issuing venires 'for additional Jurors in term time when necessary for the conven iSJRfl dispatch of business. Such ve? nire? shall be served and returned, and the Juror? required to attend on such days as the court may direct * ? ? All Jurors shall be selected by drawing ballots from the Jury box, md such persons, whose names are so drawn, shall be returned to serve. (Sec. 291?.) When the Juror? are drawn the board of Jury commissioners shall at? tend in the clerk's office in the pres? ence of the sheriff ? ? ? and shall draw from the box \he number of jurors required. If a person so drawn Is exempt by law. unable by sickness or absence from home, or has served on any Jury other than in court of magistrate, his name shall be return ad to the box and another drawn ? * ? If the clerk or sheriff fall to at? tend, after due notice, the drawing mall proceed without them. (Sec. 2917). All Jurors shall be drawn publicly And no person who desires to he pres nt, shall be excluded. (Se 2918). And the time for the drawing of Ju? rors shall be not more than twenty, nor less than seven days before they are required to attend. (Sec. 2920). Not more than thirty-six persons, to serve as petit Jurors, shall be drawn and summoned to attend at the same time at any court, unless the court shall otherwise order. (Sec. 2921). The sheriff of the county shall summon the Jurors at least four days before the time they are required to attend, by reading to such Jurors the venire, or leaving written notification ] thereof In the Juror's place of abode, and shall make return Of the venire, with his dolftgS thereon, to the clerk before the opening of the court. (Sec. 2923). When it Is necessary to supply de? ficiencies, the Jury commissioners hall draw Crom ? special compart" men!

The Auto Route In South Carolina North of Columbia, It Wan Decid? ed, Will Run to Camden, to Blsh opvllle, to Lydia, to Hartsvllle, to Darling ton, to Society Hill, to Che raw and Thence to Raleigh. Columbia, Sept. 16.?Several im? portant matters were discussed and decided at the meeting of the presi? dent, secretary, and executive com? mittee of the Capital Highway Asso? ciation, held today in the Columbia Chamber of Commerce. Much enthu? siasm and interest was displayed by ah in attendance. Iffose present were: Mr. Leonard Tufts, president; Frank Weldon, secretary; F. H. Hy? att. Dr. E. M. Whaley, vice presi? dents; W. D. Evans, of Cheraw; C. W. Coker and W. C. McKinnon, of Hartsvllle; Dr. Arch Cheatham, of Durham, N. C; Judge A. W. Graham, Speaker of the House of Representa? tives of North Carolina; L. E. Carri gan, of Society Hill; L. M. Lawson, secretary of the Darlington Automo? bile Club; E. L. Ashbill, of Lexing? ton; F. H. Hendricks, mayor of Lees vllle; S. H. Owens, supervisor of Richland County; S. C. Vann, of Franklinton, N. C. The purpose of this meeting was to decide definitely the route over cer 4 am parts of country where rival sec? tions want it to run, to consider ways and. means for raising funds to carry on the work of getting out literature, having road signs made, and defray? ing expenses of the secretary and compensating him for his labor, and considering the expediency of ar? ranging for an automobile endurance run over the route. It was decided that in* South Car? olina the route north of Columbia should run from Camden to Blshop vllle, thence to Lydia, to HartsviPe. to Darlington. Society Hill and Che? raw. thence to Raleigh. It was de? cided that there should be arranged an endurance run on November 9 over the Capital Highway from At? lanta to Augusta. All counties be? tween these two respective cities have promised to have their links complet? ed by this time. The time for the endurance run over the entire route from Atlanta to Washington will not be announced for some time. Col. CharleH Johnson, of Raleigh, was elected vice president for North Carolina, and Allen Potts, of the Times-Dispatch, Richmond, vice pres? ident, for Virginia. A comprehensive report was made by Secretary Weldon, of the progress of the enterprise. Indications are that the Capital Highway will be in pretty good condition by January 1, and It was announced that Mr. Potts has In sight $400,000 for the improve? ment of the highway between Rich? mond and Washington. Lexington County will have her link completed this fall, Kershaw County has raised several thousand dollars by subscription, and in the next few days will begin on the Cam? den end of the "Two-notch" road to? wards Columbia. Chesterfield has only been waiting for the dispute to be settled as to the route between Hartsvllle and Darlington. From Raleigh to Richmond the counties are o ther at work or have fixed a definite tim* to get to work on their links of the highway. A NARROW ESCAPE ?Edgar N. EayVlss, a merchant of Roblnsonvllle, Del., wrote: "About *wo years ago I was thin and sick, ind coughed all the time and If I did not have consumption. It was near to it. t commenced using Foley's Honey and Tar. and It stopped my cough, md I am now entirely well, and have gained twenty-eight pounds, all du? to the good results from taking Fo? ley's Honey and Tar."

GIRL BITTEN BY DEADLY SNAKE Tot's Presence of Mind In Sucking Wound Probably Saves Her Life. Anderson, Sept. 16.?Miss Remelle , Nicholson, the 12-year-old daughter of County Superintendent of Educa? tion and Mrs. R. E. Nicholson, was bitten on the right wrist yesterday afternoon by what Is suposed to have been a highland moccasin. The snake clung to the wound; seemed to be unable to free Itself, and the hild was unable to shake it off. Fi? nally she placed her foot on the lull of the reptile and literally tore the fangs from the wound in her arm. A physician was summoned and arriv? ed within less than half an hour. He prescribed some medicine for the bite and today the child went to school as usual, little the worse for her experi? ence. The girl had gone Into the gar? den and was picking beans when the snake struck her. As soon as possi? ble she wiped the surface of the .?ound with her dress, sucked out the poison, and it is very probable that because of this the bite did not prove more serious. The snake was. of course, magnified in the child's eyes, but it Is believed to have been a small one. Statewide Prohibition. Some well-meaning but crazy pro hibitionlsts are now urging that those counties which refused to vote on* the dispensary, be now placed under prohibition by a State-wide prohibi? tory law. . v This newspaper Is a Democrat, and believes in local self-government. Bui If we were a despot and thought that minorities had no rights which the majority shot: Id respect, we claim to have sense enough to know that a law should not be forced upon a peo? ple who protest. Even Col. J. L. Har ley ought te know that neither he nor his intangible league can enforce prohibition on Charleston. We believe the veriest lunatic, who Is allowed to go at large, must know that a city as large as Charleston cannot be made to enforce prohibition, and we are inclined to the opinion that the rep? resentatives from the "dry** counties will have enough to do if they en? force the law at home. The proper thing for real temper? ance people to do is to use their in? fluence and their talents in instilling temperance habits and temperance principles Into the people. Sobriety from conviction, or principle, is much better than sobriety which may be forced by law. Sobriety from prin? ciple is dependable, but that sobriety which comes from legal restraint is uncertain. But It Is easier, theoretically, to make men sober by withholding the liquor than it is to create a sentiment or to instill a principle which would restrain the citizen from the use of intoxicants. It is easier to run poli? tics than to create within us a prin? ciple. Politics, as all know, Is quite another thing from principle. Poll tics come from policy and principle comes from conviction of right and wrong.?Abbeville Press and aBnner Abbeville Broke. Jurors, witnesses and court officials are In hard luck as to their pay. The county last fall lost nearly $40,000 worth of bridges. To pay for thee and keep up running expenses of this year, the small surplus of last year has been wiped out, and some twen? ty-odd thousand dollars borrowed this year, for which the entire tax levy has been pledged, has been spent. The county is out of money, and, since there will be no income from the dispensary after November 15, the banks are unwilling to credit her. One person was offering to shave claims at ten per cent, but it is not known the extent of his business.

ACT BEARING ON LIQUOR SHIP? MENTS OF INTEREST HERE, Makes It Illegal to Assist "Blind Tig? er" Owners to Secure ContraIkiihI Liquor Surreptitiously?The Duty Of Common Carriers and Shippers Of Alcoholic Beverages. Charleston, Sept. 17.?The recent j efforts on the part of the city police and State constables to prevent the importation of liquor for the use of "blind tigers," and the revelation that the volume of liquor brought into this city for the purpose of being illegally sold has been very large, and has awakened considerable interest. A prominent attorney suggested yester? day that an Act passed by the recent congress might afford valuable aid in the breaking up of this traffic if call? ed into use. This Act was approved on the 4th day of March, 1909, and is entitled "an Act to codify, revise and amend the penalties of the Uni ttd States.'' An extract from it fol? lows: "Section 238.

The farmers of York County have made a serious mistrke in allowing the county organization of the Far- \ mers' Union to fall through, and they should at on e proceed with the work of reorganizing. We are ouite well aware of the fact that a great mr?ny people are disposed to blame the Union with various shortcomings; but we have ( no sympathy with any of the re? proaches that have been offered. Without attempting to give our reasons in details, we want to say that the Farmers' Union has been of very great value and benefit to the farmers of the South, and we believe right now, that except for the Intel- ^ ligence with which the Farmers' Un-^ ion has been managed and its strength, cotton would right now be ? selling at 10 cents a pound or less. All other crafts, classes and busi? nesses are organized, and the far? mers should be organized also. The Union which has benefited by ~11 the^ experience of the grange and the al? liance is the best organization the farmers have ever had.
