As to Pay of Witnesses in the Skipper Case. In the Skipper case, which was trar.sferred for trial from this county to the county of Fairfield, where the trial was had last month, the court costs for the per diem of jurors, bailiffs, the dieting of jurors, ect., amounting to $148.50, were paid by Fairfield county and bill of same itemized, and certified to by the clerk of court of Fairfield county as pre- I scribed by law was presented to our county treasurer who prompt ly and properly sent a check for the amount. In the case of the witnesses, however, both for the state and the defense, and there were more than a hundred, the certificate of the clerk of court of Fairfield names no amount to be paid them but simply gives a list of them with the number of days prsent and the number of miles traveled. Upon receipt of this statement the clerk of court here issued pay bills to each witness at the per diem allowed in Lancaster county (which, by the way, is just double the per diem allowed in Fairfield 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 cer tify to the materiality of the witnesses, and consequently the witnesses havu not yet been paid, the county treasurer holding that he is not authorized to pay a witness pay cortificate unless it is signed by the trial judge and countersigned by the clerk of court. County Treasurer Cau then has referred the matter to the Comptroller General to know if it is necessaay that the judge should sign these certificates be fore he has the right to pay them and get credit for 'them in his annual settlement. In the meantime the witnesses in the.Skipper case need feel no uneasiness. They will get their nay. In our opinion, Fairfield county should have paid them just as she paid the jurors, bailiffs and other expenses for the trial and then her clerk of court should have certified to the costs and have collected it from Lancaster county just as he did the other costs. But she has not done so. Peshaps the law does not require it. The law on this point needs to be interpreted, but, were it clear, it is doubtful whether our sister county would have assumed the responsibility of paying these witnesses their per diem under the law ralating to Lancater coun ty, which law is thought by many to be unconstitutional-in direct conflict with a provision of the constitution of 1895 which pro-' vides that no special law shall be enacted where a general law can be~nade applicable. The county treasurer is unques tionably right in refusing to pay these. witness certificates unless presented properly authenticat ed. He is a bonded officer and the people should appreciate his wish to follow the law in the pay ment of all claims against the county. At the same time he, no doubt as much as anyone else, regrets the delay, perhaps in convenience occasioned witnesses in not getting their pay.-Lan caster Ledger. Dangers of Pneumonia.

"I can heartily and conscientiousl recommend Chamberlain's C o u g I Remedy for affections of the throa and lungs," says Hon. John Shenick 220 So. Peorial St., Chicago. "Tw< years ago during a political campaign I caught cold after being overheated which irritated my throat and I wa finally compelled to stop, as I coulb not speak aloud. In my extremity : friend advised me to use Chamberlain' Cough Remedy. I took two doses tha afternoon and could not believe m: senses when I found the next mornint the inflammation had largely subsided I took several doses that day, kep right on talking through the campaign and I thank this medicine that I wo my seat in the Council."

While in Wahington recently Mr. McLaurin examined the re cords in the treasury departmen and found that the exports o cotton goods to China during th last five months have been $11, 000,000 and for the 13 raonth before that had been but $5,000, 000. This represents a gain o more than 100 per cent in lea than one half the time, and clearly indicates that the world': use of cotton goods is increassing so rapidly that it will offset th< cry of overprodution. There il no question about it that it wil require more cotton each year t< supply the growing demand fo the South's leading staple. This however, should not lead t~h farmers to try to produce mor than will be needed. The suppl3 must not be greather than th' demand. Foley's Honey and Tar Cures coughs and colds.
