Self-government under the United States'Constitution is ?i great privilege, hut those under thc jurisdic tion of our governmenl who are lit for it and deserve it cnn claim it asa right. General Henry has stated that the peo ple ol' Porto Rico ure abundantly able to administer justice in their own hind, and this is relied upon by the Porto Rican commissioners to prove Illness for legislative autonomy. - mm < - W. K. Crawford, the Stall' Constable who killed Mrs. Stuart in her own home in Columbia lust winter, was tried in Camden last week and acquit ted. This was what we expected, when he secured a change of venue from Richland County to Kershaw County. Had he not been a State Constable ami had been caught with a little "blind tiger" whiskey in his possession, he would certainly have been convicted and punished, but for shooting and killing a helpless woman he goes free, and, no doubt, the attorneys w ho de fended him will be paid liberal lees by the State for their services. Oh, con sistency, thou art a jewel. When Courts and Juries fail to do their duty, Judge Lynch has good ground to step in and do his duty. On July 25th the annual reunion of the South Carolina Division United Confederate Veterana is to be held in the city of Chester, and although prac tically all tho camps in the State at tended the general reunion in Charles ton, it is expected that all will be at the State reunion. Chester promises every veteran that attends a royal re ception. The delegates from Ander son should be authorized to extend an invitation to the veterans to meet in Anderson next year. Wc should think over tho matter, and let our municipal and County ofticinls with the citizens generally send iu a formal invitation by the delegates from Anderson, lt will do our nonored old veterans and our County good io have these vete rans meet herc. There seems to be little prospect of that uniformity of State lows regula ting marriage and divorce, which is so desirable and which hos been so long advocated by those who appreciate the demoralizing er?cete of the loose divorce system that prevails in many parts of the country. The American Har Asso ciation has given its powerful influence to this reform movement, but we do not believe that the wisest men even in that distinguished organization could frame a divorce law which would be accepted by nil the States. To some of them it would seem too stringent and to others too lax, for in the forty four States which constitute the Union we find widely divergent views and practices regarding divorce. Perhaps it would be best after nil for every State to adopt South Carolina's law, no divorce under any circumstances. The flnul act of the Supreme Court in Columbia before adjourning for the. spring term was to file an important decision affecting the dispensary law. The dispensary people, when accept ing the decision of the United States Supreme Court that liquor could be brought into the State for personal use by common carrier, always declined to admit the right of a citizen to bring into the State or have brought into the State by private conveyance liquor for his own use. There has been a num ber of cases where men bringing whis key across the North Carolina lino for their own use have been arrested and the liquor and teams confiscated, lt was on a ease of this character that a test was made. Three men from Ches terfield County went over into North Carolina, whet? they purchased twenty gallons of whiskey. When they re turned homo they were arrested by State constables, their team and liquor being confiscated. They were tried and convicted, and appealed, li was on this appeal thc eade was brought up. Acting under p.-ovisions of the new Constitution and for the second time the Supreme Court called the judges en bane. Judges Ernest Gary, Gage and Benet did not sit. Justice Jones filed a dissenting opinion, concurred in by Justice Pope and Judges Townsend' and Klngh. The opinion of the ma jority of the Court, reversing the lower Court, was given by Justice E. H. Gary, concurred in by Chief Justice Mciver, and Judges Aldrich, Watts and Buch anan. The majority, therefore, bad but one to snare. So now a citizen of South Carolina can drive over into North Carolina, cross the Savannah River into Georgia, or send his team over with.no agent, buy whiskey for his own uso and return with it. The Jaw protects him. KI IHMM?IIU HIV IIOIHC ?M?en. Hampton. \ s i>i i;-t.N. >. C.. .luiiv I". P-vi.

I /-.'*//* I* lo-x Intcltiyriicrr.- Th?- Naval Academy has its interesting char acters. TJie incoming fourth class will have Bagley, tin* brother of the first officer killed in the war, and Deignah, one of thc Merrimac heroes. The present roster of Cadets has sev eral interesting people. These young Cadets, very often in the earliest days of their naval careers, give promise of their future abilities. A gentleman of this eily, high in official life, well remembers the char acteristics of Admiral Dewey when a Cadet. Though from tho frigid hills of Vermont, Cadet Midshipman Dewey had the tempero!' a Southern lire-eater. This gentleman who knew him well, says that on reflection, from Dewey's early indications of character, lie is surprised, ami not surprised at his great abilities. With the. hero of Ma nilla it was an insult by the giver and a blow by Dewey. I Ie took no offence at the general term "Yankee," nairn* died all the citizens of the Republic; mt he resented, at once, the appella tion if applied to him as a discrdctable title belonging to citizens of New Eng ?niitt. Of this plucky spirit is i hut '.honor'" mau of the Naval Academy, Cadet William McKntee, of Minn., First Class. He did not take li i st rank at once, He stood eight in his first year, three, in i second and first at the late .June exam i - | nation. He is a brave fellow and when j the hazer attempted to run hin when he wna on the eve of stepping up to the third class, resisted ti) fisticuffs. He was pretty well battered but declined, though he had to go to the hospital on account of the fight, to tell any tales. He was found physically deficient at the late examination, and it nearly broke his proud spirit. Admiral Mc Nair let him go to Washington and rhe young Cadet succeeded in having his slight infirmity waived. Cadet McEn tee carries a very wonderfully shaped head that bulges backward out of all symmetry, but, perhaps, there is where lie carries his splendid mathematical powers. Ensign Louis Clark Richardson, of South Carolina, is one of the six year Cadets, who recently passed here their last examination. Ho was thc right half back of the rattling navy team of 181)0, and was the most prominent char acter on it. He came suddenly into academic faino on tho gvidiron. No body except Cadet Williams seemed to know anything of his athletic powers, and he persuaded him to come out and practice, and singular to say Richard son took Williams1 place. The latter took the exchange m a manly spirit. Richardson was a quick starter and ran like mad when he had the ball. He never failed to make the point required of him. His bald head was bound to come through the opening made for him. He took the 100-dash in 189?. When he came back from sea, at the last examination, though coming from the engineer to the Hue, under the per sonelle bill, he took a good rate in his class, and stood No. 1 in the practical seamanship work of the class for two years. Ensign Richardson is the son of Col. M. IL Richardson, of South Caro lina, and one of the promising signs that the young officer will, keep up Iiis good reputation in his career is the fact that he is absolutely as unostentatious, in his manner open, nnd ns friendly fo ! all his old acquaintances as when he entered the Navy Sept. 0, 1893. E. S. H. Corner Dots. We are at present being blessed with very fine rams, but they came not a whit too soon, ns our crops were need ing rain very badly. The wheat crop is very poor in com parison to w'hnt it was last year. Six to ten bushels to the acre seems to be about the average while the oat crop is oft* very near one-half. Roth corn and cotton are looking well, nnd our farmers aro giving their attention to the thorough cultivation of both. There was quite a romantic marriage in our community last Saturday even ing at the parsonage of Rev. R. C. Lig?n. The parties were colored.

His claimed that not only does this render a person almost doubly efficient, but that the general health is much improved by it, as a more nearly per fect circulation is thus established. - The world has for some time been aware of the use of oil on troubled waters, but the idea of oil to prevent dust storms in streets is a novelty. An Iowa engineer claims to have demon strated that a liberal use of crude oil on muddy roads soon transforms them into models of cleanliness. The effect of sprinkling oil on the ground is to give it a hard, compact surface, upon which water cannot remain. The re sult is a complete absence of mud in wet weather and of dust in other times.
