Er.ered at the Post Office at Manning as Second-Class Matter. Comptroller General Epton is re quiring the County Auditors to en force the law with regard to mer chants making returns. The present State administration will not have to borrow money this year, and even this does not satisfy those politicians who cannot get their snouts in the cracks of the public crib. I f The newspapers throughout the State will have to find another bone to gnaw upon since State Constable Newbold has delivered himself to the officers of the law. Perhaps they will let up now in their efforts to manufacture prejudice against his case. Notwithstanding the low price of cotton, the business men of Charles ton propose to make it an induce ment for the country folk to visit the "City-by-the-Sea." Active prepara tions have already begun and piles of money are being spent to make "Gala Week" a week of joy. The arrange ments have been divided off into com mittees made up of Charleston's most active young men and they are going igft' ahead, and they will have the best amusement program ever gotten up for such occasions The railroads, too, have been enlisted to help the cause, and cheap rates have been se cured. When Charleston puts on her holiday clothes and invites her coun. try cousins to come to town and share her joys, the invitation always meets with a hearty acceptance from Clar endon, and we will all hustle around to get a "biled" shirt and have our trousers patched in time to see the beginning of the fun, and we will stay until we have spent all of our "chicken change."_____ Charleston's sheriff, Hugh Fergu son, is dead. He was in many re spects a natural leader of men and one in whom the masses had implicit confidence. As a leader he had no superior, and although of foreign birth, he was a typical Charlestonian. The poor of Charleston will miss his charity and the ambitious young men will miss his advice. He was a thor ough but an honest politician, and whenever he took a position he was rock-ribbed in his views, at the same time he was never known to offensive ly foist his opinions upon others. His death is a loss to Charleston's busi ness commun~ity and its politics. South Carolina never had a more de voted son than Hugh Ferguson and the Democratic party never had truer and more loyal advocate. His influence was not confined to Charles ton; it was felt all over the State. Every county leader has watched the movements of Hugh Ferguson to catch his ideas oi campaign manage ment. We hope in selecting a sue cessor to this faithful public servrat. Governor Ellerbe will select a man who will merit the high esteem so universally accorded the lamented Ferguson. We are very much gratified to see we are not alone of the opinion that should the General Assembly decide to elect a member of the Bar of the First Circuit to preside over that cir-' cuit, Judge Izlar is the man they should select. As the time for the General Assembly to meet draws near, we find a growing sentiment in favor of calling Judge Iziar to the bench. There is no complaint against Judge Benet, but Mr. T. W. Bacot of the Chaileston delegation in the House of Representatives has made such an active electioneering cami paign, by sending out circular letters to his colleagues that many think he. has made great inroads upon Benet's chances for re-electior., and as they agree with THE TDIES that the meth ods resorted to by Mr. Bacot are cal culated to lower the solemn dignity of such a high office as the judiaciary, they feel if Judge Benet is to be dis-K placed, it can only be upon the groun~d that his election to preside over th.e First Circuit was an injustice to the members of that Bar, and it would not be correcting~ the wrong by tak - ing it away fromi Ueznet to give to any other than the one it was taken away from, and that muan is Judge Izlar who it is admitted made a conscientious and able judge and who lost the er It is quite refreshing to see at least one newspaper which heretofore has been criticising Governor Ellerbe, come out and dash aside narrow minded prejudice and give the Gov ernor credit for the good things he has done. The Columbia State is opposed to the Dispensary law and it fights it wherever it sees a possible chance to get in a blow,and in fighting this law it necessarily criticises Gov ernor Ellerbe every time he does any thing in behalf of the law. Aside from the Dispensary the "State" has the fairness to give Governor Ellerbe credit for being honest, for hav ing an administration free from the suspicion of taint, and for so conduct ing his office as to bring the white people of South Carolina into harmo nious living again. The "State" gives Ellerbe credit with being the Governor of the whole people instead of a political faction, and we heartily endorse the "State's" view and esti mate of our Chief Executive. The difference between the criticism of the "State" and some other newspa pers is plainly seen. The "State" criticises the Governor because it be lieves him wrong in his dispen sary policy, and not from any po litical or factional disappointment. It endeavors to argue to its readers to stamp.out the dispensary by using its reasoning powers. This is legitimate and honorable journalism. OthEr newspapers, however, have become soured because of failure to get some favor, and are finding fault with every movement the Governor makes; they damn him if he does and they double damn him if he don't. Such journal ism is not legitimate and it is dishon orable, because they are manufactur ing a sentiment with falsehood and misrepresentation as a foundation. The people are deceived thereby and it has a tendency to dwarf the influ ence of the press. CASE MAY BE ADVANCED. Carolina's Appeal From Simnuton's Do cision In the Supreme Court. WasmrsGrox, Nov. 29.-The appeal of the state of South Carolina from the decision of Judge Simonton in the case of the Vandercook company's com plaint of the enforcement of the dispen sary law has been docketed in the United States supreme court. Repre sentatives of both sides of the contro versy have agreed upon a motion to ad vance the case upon the docket, which motion probably will be made in the court on Monday. It is the principal issue as the effect of the congressional amendments to the federal act regulating interstate traffic in spirits. These amendments were incorporated in the law at Senator Till man's instance after the decision of the supreme court holding the state law to be antagonistic to this federal statute, but Judge Simonton in the present case holds that the amendments did not re move the friction and that the enforce ment of the dispensary law by taking possession of goods shipped to the state outside, as in the case of the VSander cook shipment, was a violation of the In terstate commerce law. WARM TALK BY WILSON. The Editor of The Bayseeder Takes sena tor Butler To 'Task. RALEIGH, Nov. 29.-There is no end of comment in the state press upon Sen ator Butler's Rocky Mount speech in which it is asserted he said that Demo crats would hire negroes to assault white women. Nothing bitterer than the de nunciation he has been receiving has been heard in recent years. Republican papers are not taking his side in his denial that he made the re mark. The Populists 'who oppose him are not sayin:: a word in his defense. Otho Wilson, railway commissioner and editor of The Hayseeder and el-state chairman, says in his paper: "I do not doubt but what Butler matde the statement, because he is the only man in all North Carolna mean enough to suspect such motives in a human being." _______ PATRICK HARTFORD DEAD. He Was One of the Policemen Wounded In the ilaymnarket Riot. CmcAno, Nov. 29.-Patrick Hartford, one of the policemen wounded in the aymarket riot, and a pensioner of the police department, died at the county hospital. It is believed that his wounds ad something to do with his taking off. Hartford was shot in the right leg, the eft thigh and had three toes of the left oot blown off by the explosion of a bomb. On the night of the riot Hart ord was in the Third company, fifth man in the front rank. The company was commanded by Lieutenant Bowler. Soon after the riot he was retired by the police pension board. Sixteen surviving members of the :ompany which stood with him on that memorable night will act as honorary pallbearers.________ Barber Anrious For Decision. CorLUMIA.

DECISION IS JUST HANDED DOWN Baprene Court of - he United States Holds That the Twiggs County Woman Has Not Been Denied the 'roooss of Law and That She Must Swing-the Story of the Tragedy. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The United States supreme court has affrmed the decision of the Georgia supreme court in the case of Mrs. Nobles, convicted of the murder of her husband. She claimed the process of law had been denied her. The result of the decision is that the sentence imposed by the court can now be executed. It has been several years since old man John Nobles was killed on his farm in Twiggs county, Ga. His wife, daugh ter, a white man and a negro, Gus Fam bles, were accused of the deed. All were tried. Dibbie Nobles, the daugh ter, was released, and is now married. The white man has never been caught. Mrs. Nobles and the negro were found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. A new trial was secured for Mrs. Nobles, and pending the hearing the negro was respited. Mrs. Nobles was again found guilty and for the second time sen tenced by Judge Smith to be hanged at Jeffersonville, Ga. The case was carried to the supreme court after the second sentence, and Fambles was again respited while Mrs. Nobles' case was pending. The sn preme court found a verdict against the woman, and refused to interfere with the sentence of the lower court. The case was immediately appealed to the United States supreme court, where it has just been decided. The Nobles case has attracted more interest than any case ever tried in Georgia. Parties all over the United States have interested themselves in case because the prisoner is a woman. Countless petitions have been made for her pardon and release, and a constant effort has been made to save her from the gallows. TWO SAILORS ARE KILLED. The British Bark Juteopolis Has a Long and Tempestuous Voyage. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.-The British bark Juteopolis, which arrived here from Greenock, Scotland, had a long and tempestuous voyage during which two of her sailors were killed. The Juteopolis left Greenock Sept. 28 in bal last to load a cargo of petroieum at Philadelphia for Japan. The first day out she ran into a storm and un excep. tionally heavy sea. On the third day all hands were en gaged in shortening sail, when Sailmen James Bruce, a yonug naval apprentice, and Carl Brunner, a German seaman, were knocked from the mizzentopsail yard by a sudden blast of wind forcing the heavy sail against them. Both fell head foremost to the deck and were in stantly killed. They were burid at sea the next day. Bruce's brother is the managing owner of a steamship line at Dundee. 'teyoung man had shipped as a sea man to gain practical experience. The Juteopolis battled with the elements all the way to Cape Henlopen. TUNNEL GAS KILLS THREE.

The case was heard some time ago, and the exceptions to Special Master Winbish's report in regard to whether the depositors of the Eagfe and Phenix Bavings bank or the bondholders should have the prior right to the funds de rived from the foreclosure of the mort gage on the property was the point at, issue.
