V ' <. */ ?. / ' : ~ WILL BE HUNG. THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES AGAINST PINK FRANKLIN, The Murderer of Constable Valentine and He Will Be Resentenced and Executed. The State Supreme Court has sustained the lower Court In the case of Pink Franklin, the Orangeourg negro. who was convicted of the killInrv ttf U h1 Volonllna thKHa a n A uq vi a?t v uivubiuc| nuho( ouu sentenced to be hanged on October 26th, 1907. The case now goes down to the trial Court for Franklin to be resentenced unless his colored lawyers take an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, which, it is said, they will do. The killing of Mr. Valentine caused quite a sensation at the timo and ^there was fear of violence. Mr. Valentine, a constable, went to the house of Franklin to serve a warrant on July 29, 1907. The'warrant aharged Pink Franklin with breaking an agricultural contract, which had been made under the law since declared unconstitutional by the State Courts. When Valentine approached the home of Franklin, the negro went insldo the house and Valentine knocked on the steps. Soon afterwards a shot was tired and Valentine fell mortally wounded. The man who accompanied him, W. M. Garter, was also shot from inside the home. Franklin was also wounded and lie claimed that Valentine burst into the house and flred at him before he fired at Valentine. Franklin was represented by Jacob Moorer, of Orangeburg, and John Adams, of Columbia, both colored, and they raised much thesame points that Moorer has used in contesting the election of Democratic Congressmen in this State, to-wit, that the laws of the State discriminates against negroes. Of course, there is absolutely nothing in their contentions. but the points serve to prolong iiiu ma ui rruimiiii. ouuuer or niier Franklin will be hung. ( SERIOUS WRECK.

This is the law of the latest farlslan society of freaks?the "Sphenopogones. as they call themselves. Its members, who are compelled by tbe rules of the society to wear pointed beards aud mustaches, have banded themselves vogether for the avowed purpose of promoting perenuial Joviality. It is a secret society. Its deliberations are secret, Its dinners are secret, its happy evenings are secret and the names of its'members can be seen only iu the society's secret books. The Sphenopogones comprise leading politicians, literary men and artists living in various parts of France. Each member must be elected unanimously and must unilor linlti of vere penalties promise to wear a beard which tapers symmetrically to a point aud a mustatue ahu pointed at cacti end. Once a month the members dine together. The date and place of meeting are arranged by the "gonTalouler,*' as the treasurer is called, and the proceedings are kept strictly ortvate, no one being admitted except duly oarolled members. If any member has between one dinner and another distinguished himself by writing a successful play or a book, or by paiuting a picture of exceptional merit, or by doing anything to earn public praise, he is greeted with uproarious applause. After dinuer the possessors of the pointed beards give themselves up to conviviality in accordance with the terms of their secret charter. Wanted an Office Boy.

He advertised and received lot) replies, out of the hundred he selecteu ten whom he interviewed, his choice falling upon an apparently bright youngster to whom he said: "My boy, I like your appearance and personality, aud think you will do.

I ate that same ufteruoou the promoter was surprised by t.ie return of the candidate. "Well," lie asked of the ?ov, "have you got your character?" "No," said tne boy, "but 1 got yours and I aiu't coming, either!"?llupgood's Ipportuuitics. The First "Blue Book." The first "Blue Boole" issued by tho Government was in lSlfi.

It proposed that the General Assembly should abolish the commission appointed to wind up the business of the institution, thereby removing the issue raised by .ludpfe Pritchard of atrusrteeship of creditors' funds over which the courts had proper jurisdiction.

A Connecticut Farmer Say* Oeer Are Destroying His Vegetables. A farmer In the tqwn of Barkhamsted writes to the Hartford "Courant" a detailed statement of what he has suffered from the ravages of deer in the past summer and of the meagre compensation with which he has been forced to content hiinsi If. that series to form juslificable ground for complaint The complaint is the more worthy of con.CderaUon from *lhe reasonable tone in which It is voiced, and one is led thereby to believe that it is based In fact rather than in tin agination. This famer of Barkhatrsted. to con dense his troubles has had destroyed by deer this summer the product ot one-fourth of an acre of wax beans. 240 out of 1,259 cabbages, and threefourths of an acre of tuangel wurtzels, getting front the latter three tons of crop, where he had reason to expect twenty tons. In compensation for nil this damage the state has paid hint the sum of $20. He has to take that or notbiug for there is no Ing th? state. Farmers who have tried to raise crops of this sort, amsome otliors who have hud experience with them, may judge how inadequati a sum this is to pay a farmer for sc large a part of a whole summer's lab or. "I can't afford to work all summer like a slave and lose everything just for the pleasure of some city sports, says this farmer, ^aiily. Hasn't he como dangerously close to the real root of this matter? For what are we so jealously protecting our Connecticut deer? Why are we allowing them to multiply so unrestrainedly, to hso practically undisturbed that they venture with impunity on to the lar of any farmer, and into any field he cultivates? Is it from motives of humanity or love for the dear, graceful animals themselves? Not for a minute. The real motive back of this careful protection of tlie deer is the idea of certain misguided ones who think they are sportsmen, that in time we may be able to make Connecticut over into a happy hunting ground for at least a few weeks in a year, with the customary attachments to the deer shooting season elsewhere presumably. There are others than farmers who should have an interest in preventing any such result. Meanwhile, let's fare this deer situation fairly and sensibly. It we must i lire m er 111 ?n nis depreciations for a few years longer, let's s? <that the farmer who suffers gets just remuneration for his sufferings. In that way we shall run up a state (loot expense account which oy the time the legislature meets again will be sufficient to sober the statee into rerising the deer protection law to a jioint which in a >?ar or two will thin the deer Into proper numbers tot the good of the state?New Ilaveu Register. A Canny Quaker. To get a subscription front Stephen Oirard, founder of Clirard College in Philadelphia whs no easy matter. required tact and the fight introj duction. and many failed while few succeeded. It is told, by the nuttier j of "tlte French Lllood in America." I that Samuel Coates, a genial Quaker was one of tne few nten who knew how to approach -the eccentric millionaire. He was a manager of the Pennsylvania hospital, and culled on Giraid Cor the purpose of raising money t'oi tlte institution. "Well, how much do you want Coates?" asked Gtrard, iu his usn. brusque tones. "Just what thee pleases to give Stephen," replied the quaker. Girar wrote out n check for $2,000. an handing it to Mr. Coates. was surprls ed to see that gentleman pocket i. without looking at the amount "What! Von don't look to see how much I give you?" cried mraid. In crt lulously. "Beggars are not choosers Sleph en," replied the Quaker. "Hive me back my check and 1 will change it," said Girard. after a nio meat's pause. "A bird In the hand is worth two in the huBh, thee knows, Stephen, mildly repMcd the Quaker.

Knox's presidential boom don't seem to be making much headway The Commoner says it has reached the stage where it is neccessary for the fender to be put on behind. It is really pathetic to witness the interest exhibited by the Republican press in the welfare of the Democratic party this year. They are so afraid that the party will nominate Bryan and be defeated that they can I hardly restrain their grief. Why T!Hs Solicitude? The New York Sun, which is own- 1 ed out and out by the trusts and 1 which defends their interest on all i occasions, calls upon Senator Tillman of South Carolina to speak in c regard to the candidacy of William c Jennings Bryan. It concedes the j great influence of the South Carolinian upon the political sentiment of the South, but says that "the qxiestion is one of pure expediency r at a critical moment in the fortunes ? of the Democratic party." "We all s know,." says the Sun, "that Tillman 1 doesn't believe that Bryan could win if nominated, and so we hope every- j thing." That is to say, the Sun j hopes that Mr. Tillman will consent ^ that South Carolina shall be repre- j; sented in the Convention at \ Denver by an uninstructed delega tion. "It is not the habit of the Southern States," says the Sun, "to send instructed delegations. Virginia does not, nor yet Louisiana. Alabama has not the habit, nor Tennes- i1 1 1 see. But there is one of them that, | can do more than all the others to!' keep the question open until the del egates assemble at Denver, and that ' just now is South Carolina. Senator Benjamin R. Tillman has only to speak and all will listen anx- < iously. Will Senator Tillman speak?" < Why this great solitude about South I Carolina's action in sending dele- ' gates to the National Democratic Convention on the part of the New i York Sun, which is one of the bitter- ' est Republican papers in the coun- i try? Why is the Sun so anxious to < have Bryan who it admits will be 1 elected President, defeated in the ' nominating convention? Is it be- ' cause Mr. Bryan is too good a Democrat to suit the Trusts, whom the Sun serves? The Sun need not worry itself about Senator Tillman. He , is for Bryan and will use his inHu- | ence to have a Bryan delegation sent from this State, and all the honeyed words of the Sun will afTect him not. ' I Defending IJIindtigor*. 1 In speaking of the trial and con- , viction of a man for running a blindtiger in Atlanta the Atlanta Journal sayt: Rev. E. II. Peacock, Rev. Len G. i Broughton's assistant, and as relent'ess a hounder of sin as ever smashed a whiskey bottle or burned a deck of cards, came into a terrific arraign r\ lit K Luki/ln A f \ | incut at IIIC nanus v;i ninu ui-> M. Brand. in the city court, crimi: nal division, Friday. Mr. Brand, vitn Attorney T. \V. Rucker, defended M. W. Jollcy, a former po-1 lice sergeant, who was arraigned for celling whiskey in the Virginia hotel. Mr. Brand is not the author of the Iconoclast, but he used icono-' clastic methods Friday. He called I Dr. Broughton's assistant an informer and spy. Mr. Peacock, it will be remembered, pave the information upon which they arrested Jolley. j C. Mandel. proprietor of the Virgin-1 ia hotel, and another man, on February 20. Joiley was tried Friday, found guilty, and fined $1,000 by Fudge Calhoun, with the alternative >f 12 months in the ehaingang. Jolley will appeal. "Of all the eapers that ever were j cut," sai<l Mr. Brand to the jury, "the capers of this man Peafowl art-1 he limit. He goes around in the most despicable form known to man that of an informer and spy. As ai Christian minister he hounds out 1 some poor man, has him arrested, I brought to court and fined. He is Peacock the avenger. How different from the meek and lowly Saviour, who went to men and said: 'Go thy way, and sin no more!' " If the ideas of this lawyer were carried out there would never be another conviction of a criminal in any of our courts. In his eyes any i witness who testifies to the guilt of a man who is violating law is a spy and informer. Awav with such < stuff. It is the duty of every honest man to help convict law breakers if he can do so by telling what he , knows before a court. The man who called Rev. Mr. Peacock an informer and . py accepts money to shield ! a man that he kno ws to he a violator of law. What would you call him? The Cotton Acreage. IIow about the cotton acreage, farmers? We know you are advised so much that you pay little or no attention to the advice that is volunteered to you, hut still we deem it our duty to point out certain facts to you so as you will be informed of the situation. A bumper crop of cotton this year means low prices next Fall. There is no market for 1 goods. The mills cannot s^ll their > products and in consequence they have been compelled to curtail pro- 1 duction. A big crop this year means six cents for cotton next Fall. A 1J],000,000 bale crop at six cents would he worth only $.'{90,000,000, while a 10,000,000 bale crop at ten cents would be worth $500,000,000. In the face of these facts, fanners. ! don't you think it would be a part of wisdom to reduce the cotton acreage and increase the food crop? The per on who lire ! the shot that killed Ex-Judge 0. W. Buchanan while traveling in a railroad car , committed a most inexcusable crime and should be severely punished for it. People who travel through ourj ! State in railway t-ain's mo-t he made to feel th it t icy Hie not liable to be shot to death by some iie.nl or fool. j 1 s V When Bryan gets in the White Souse we will have the only reel Democrat President we have had since the war. We believe that the United States Supreme Court will sustain the delision of the State Supreme Court n the dispensary case. We hope so it least. . It begins to look now as if those eceivers appointed by Judge Pritchird will never get a chance to diride out any of the Slate's money imong themselves. Eighteen days after he murdered i nricst at hia altai* tlm Tlnm-oi. <> > irchist was sentenced to death. Had le committed his awful crime in South Carolina the chances are he vould be out on a bail bond. A New York minister with plenty >f time, to" figure out things" said ecently that it was more dangerous .o be a railway brakeman than to be x murderer. And he goes on to 3r?>ve his assertion with statistics, showing that only one murderer in 73 is banged, while one brakeman in avery 30 is killed. The Washington correspondent of The State says "it is universally con:eded that there are no Republican lawyers in South Carolina competent to sit on any kind of judical bench." This is a mistake. Abial Lathrop, E q.. is an able lawyer and i honorable gentlemen. He would make a better judge than Pritchard, md as good as McCullough or any >ne else who would depend on Pritchard's inlluence with President Roosevelt to get on the Federal bench.
