THAT BIG FEE Thit the Dispensary Commission Was To Pay HAS SWUNK AWFULLY ;?p: Like the Darkle*' Catfish?Col. Stevenson Sets Forth the Facts Concerning the Shore Going to Gen. Anderson. Col. Felder. Motor Rountree and Capt. Wilson. The following letter explains Itself: j'lHThe Atlanta Constitution: 1 notice JLhat in an article in your paper of Thursday last you state the following: "From reliable sources it has been learned that the Atlanta law firm of Anderson, Felder, Rountree & Wilson will receive between $160,000 and $200,000 as their fee for their services in winning the famous South CaroUna dispensary case recently decided In favor of their clients, and involving about a million dollars in cash on hand, and between two millions ami ** three millions in claims. This will no doubt be the record fee in tho South. "When this firm was employed in the case, it is understood they wore given a cash retainer fee of $100,000 and made a contract for a commission of so much on the sums recovered." This statement is entirely misleading and puts the commission in Bouth Carolina iq an improper attitude. If it merely concerned myself I should pass it by, but it misleads the public, many of whom take your paper in South Carolina, and is largely untrue notwithstanding the source of your information may be reliable. In the first place; the fund involed was only $600,000, tho entire claims being asserted in that migauon against tne runcl Delng only $250,000 instead of $3,000,000. In the next place, no retainer fee was paid the Atlanta firm at all, but they simply were given the contract at their own solicitation, to be paid 10 per cent of the amount which they might reduce the claims by evidence which they would famish at their own expense. The total amount of claims originally being $6CO.OOO and the possibility of reduction, therefore, not being over $600,000 and if the claims had been entirely eliminated, their fee for that branch of service could only h $60 ,000. As a matter of fact, claims have been reduced thus far something like $100,000, which, on thai branch of the case, would entitle the Atlanta firm to a fee of $20,000. In addition to that they were to have 50 per cent of what they received back of money that had been paid away illegally and lost, they to bear all of the expense and the conuuis-i sion to have absolutely no expense with regard to this. Up to this time nothing has been recovered back, but 1 - will suy thai these gentlemen have been very active and spent a lot of money and I am very much pleased with their work In that line and believe that they will receive a very considerable amount of money in the long run, but you will see from this statement that the commission was done a great injustice in stating that they had been nnM tinn nne i ? T4V?,VVV 1 C_ HI U CI Iff and that the fees would probably run up another $100,000 to these gentlemen, but I am sure f^om my very pleasant association and connection with them, that they could not have been consulted before you made the statement. In addition to that my private affairH and those of Col. Abney seem to have been invaded in that you state that I, as general counsel for the commission, receive a stated sum for my servicg", That.is only partially true, fc*? litigation I receivo the usual fee, for advising the commission 1 receive a contract price. You say further of these gentlemen "by winning this case the Atlanta Arm has won one of the most sweeping victories ever announced from the supreme court of the United States. When you reAect that the Atlanta Arm were not employed by the comjmisslon even to assist in the proceeding in the United States supreme court but appeared for the reason that they had a personal interest In the matter because if the courts retained jurisdiction they would be unable to carry out their contract so as to earn any consid- 1 erable commission, you will see that < you have donfe the other attornavn ?n injustice in the matter. The (act Is. that the firm of Stevenson & Mat- * thewson, and the firm cf Abney & f Muller were the representatives of 1 thp commissions and (the Atlanta ( Aim represented their own interests 1 which waft entirely contingent in the * matter and the litigation was so far 1 controlled by the attorney general t and the two Arms named, that, al- ? though Mr. Rountree of the Atlanta t firm insisted strenuously in prepar- 2 lng the petition for certiorari that the very question upon which the I State ba3 won should pot be set r forth 1> the assignments of erorr, P and came to Columbia for the pur- 1 pose of taking up the matter with o us. be was there overruled by us, d so you will see that the Atlanta Arm o is not entitled to the sole credit of o the victory as it was one In the a face of the pos'tion taken by the 3 Arm that the very question on which it was won should not be raised in a the certiorari proceedings. The At- ? lanta Arm filed a brief, and we were a glad to have them do so. They bad a personal Interest to be conBat . ^ 1? Ik MUST SERVE TIME IN THE PENITENTIARY FOR KILLING SON-IN-LAW. The State Supreme Court Has so Decided in the Case of 8. W. Stockman. Among the cases recently decided by the supreme court was that of S. W. Stockman, who was convicted of tho killing of his son-in-law, Hampton J. Hartley, during Christmas, 1905, in Lexington county, says the Columbia Record. Stockman will now have to Berve his sentence of seven years in the State penitentiary, the supreme court on Friday having affirmed the de cision or tne lower court. This case has attracted more attention possibly In Lexington county than any case in recent years. Hamp Hartley was one ?f the largest dealers in turpentine in the county, and by hard work and close economy had secured a goodly portion of this world's goods. He married the oldest daughter of Stockman. who is a well-to-do farmer and prominent in the community. He is a member of tho wealthy Stockman family of Newberry county. On the night of the tragedy. Hartley went to the home of Stockman. He was under the influence of whiskey. it was alleged, and a general row arose. At the trial tho defense tried to make it appear that Hartley had attempted to insul his sister-inlaw, Miss Stockman, and that the killing was the direct result of this. Rut from the testimony of the State's witnesses, it was shown that Stockman was himself under the influence of whiskey, as was a man by the name of Taylor, who was a guest at the Stockman home. Taylor has since been killed by his own son at his home in Saluda county. The first time the case was called. the Jury failed to agree. At the second trial Stockman was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced by Judge Dantzler to serve seven years in the penitentiary. Stockman is n^aring the 60 mile post and is said to be in failing health. It is net known wheh he will begin his . sentence, but it Is supposed that he will make preparations to leave home within the next few days. THE WAGES OF SIN.

Hesterman, was shot, to death early this morning hy llesterman, who a moment later committed suicide. The men were the best of friends, had been playing cards and the quarrel arose, it is supposed, over the game. Hesterman, who was 61 years old, secured a revolver and ^flred a shot which penetrated his own head, causing instant death. Peter Hesterman, son of the suicide, was awakenod by the shooting and running to the room, found both men dead. The cards were scattered around the table. The young man declared he heard no argument.

The Washington correspondent of the Columbia Record says all interest in the tariff bill has now shifted to the senate, where it was known all along the "Payne act" would In reality be drafted. The votes In the house on the various schedules have merely given voice to the sentiments of the sections represented, but in the senate each vote will leave Its mark in the final reading of the hill whnn 14 ~ -? .. UV.U iv e,uc-B IU IUO |I1 t'iilUl'Ill for his signature. The significance of those senate votes is underscored by tho fact that the president has made it clear that he has no Idea of vetoing the Payno bill., whether its real author be Mr. Payne or Senator Aidrlch. Aside from the general iuterest the ultimate consumer has In the prices of all articles he consumes, the only paragraphs that are of any immediate interest to South Carolina, now that the duty on fertilizing salts has been dropped out, are those relating to sea island, or long staple cotton and to lumber. The Payne bill, as it passed the house, fixes a duty of half a cent a cubic foot on hewn sided or squared timber, of 50 cents a thousand on sawed boards and $1 a thousand on sawed lumber not specifically mentioned. Cotton and cotton waste are left on the free list. Democratic senators are planning a fight to put a duty on both these articles, though Senator E. D. Smith is emphatic in his statement that he will not lend his support to any measure that means protection even for local industries. He will vote for duties on lumber and sea island cotton, but only a duty fixed at a revenue basis. Both these articles, he Raid, ought to pay their share toward the support of the government, but there is no reason, in his opinion, for taxing the whole mass of consumers to benefit the comparatively small number of people owning the timber supply or raising sea island cotton. It is a question of the greatest good to the greatest number, he said, and that, translated into practice, means a government supported economically with taxes equaly and equitably levied upon all classes and sections. As to the exact rate of duty this equal distribution of the burden of taxation would imply for lumber or sea island cotton. Senator Smith Is not yet quite ready to say, though hp Is cnlnc thrrtiiffb a 0 .u.uusu nit; imports, exports and statistics of production of both products to ascertain a rate satisfying his mind as fair. The $1 a thousand on lumber carried in the Payne bill, he said, might prove fair on investigation the figures might show that the industry could carry protection of $2 a thousand, and the same thing is trile of his attitude on cotton. : The Democratic platform does not j in Senator Smith's opinion, forbid a Democrat's imposing a revenue tariff upon lumber. His interpretation of the Denver document is that the present duties on lumber and its'products must be reduced to a fair basis of taxation. "I haven't any idea the Democratic convention meant to say that him her should be absolutely free of duty," he said, "but simply that It should come down Crom its present exorbitant taxation. The paragraph in the' Democratic platform to which the senator referred reads: "We demand the immediate rsp?n of the tarilf on wood pulp, p;--.r paper, lumber, 'timber and iors, and that these articles bo placed upon the free list." The nlan of Um ~ ??- - - ? v.iv A/CUUiLI rtlll* tors In general is one desigmM to harmonize the conflicting elements of the party with a view to presenting a solid front in the coming flght. They Intend to bring in senators from those States interested in a duty on lumber and those interested in a duty on hides by imposing revenue duty on both of these articles, and in this way they hope to avoid the desertions from the party that made the Democratic flght against the Payne bill so pitiable in the house. Prohibitory duties wil be brought down .to a revenue basis. If the Democratic plan carries through and free list will be moved up bodily to a revenue basis. The central idea in this plan is o give to individual senators their ndividual demands and yet preserve he seeming of a broad principle?a arlff for revenue onl^. And In noting this revenue duty, senators rom lumber' States will be voting a irotection to lumber and senators rom cattle States will be voting pro- i ectlon to hides. The same thing < vill be true of sea Island cotton. ? , Km il worth Inn Burned. 1 Fire of unknown origin broke out 1 it half-past two o'clock Tuesday nornlng at Kenilworth Inn. one of he best known hotels In the South, hree miles from Aahevllle.

Clerk of Court of Hampton County, died on Monday afternoon a little before six o'clock at the Margaret Wright hospital, having been carried to Augusta the day after he was shot. Mr. Causey was talking on Saturday last with a negro known as "Peg Leg" Hughes, on the streets of Hampton, when, without any warning, the negro fired upon him with a revolver. The bullet entered the right side, passed through the lower part of the right lung and left the body in the back. He was carried to Augusta by Dr. J. L. Folk and Dr. J. B. Harvey, both of Hampton. At. 3:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon an operation w*as performed and Mr. Causey lay between life and death until Monday afternoon. The case seemed pra?tically hopeless from the first. Mr. Causey's wife and his sister, Mrs. Harvey, accompanied the party to the city and remained at the hospital with him until his death. In order to prevent a lynching the negro was taken to Columbia from Hampton, county last Sunday night, and lodged in the penitentiary.

Elsewhere at 6 longitudinal tables sat four hundred of tho elect of the ; Democratic party. A protest against what he declared * were growing encroachments of special privilege at Washington, es' .peeinlly as embodied in tariff legis" latlon, was the keynote of the address of Governor Judson Harmon, 1 of Ohio. Asserting that the reduc: tions In the pending tariff bill would 1 be but a mockery of the demnnd for * felief. Judge Harmon declnred that real relief never would bo secured except under a. Legislature and Executive following Jeffersonian rules and treating taxation as a moans of , preventure and not of private gain. Tho steady tendency since the civil war has been to exalt the Federal 3 "Government at the expense o^ the State, said the speaker, one result 1 being the neglect of economy and the i embarkation of the Government into extravagant enterprises. He in1 stanced the action of th*> last Conf gress in appropriating two millions of dollars and the raising of salaries s of officials in the fnco of a growing ' shortage of revenue, and con 1 tinned: I "Now instead of seeking methods ( 1 of retrenchment to meet, n present , 0 eonfessed deficit, pf more thnn a , " hundred millions, the President and , 8 Congress are devising additional tax- . \ es to exnet from tho diminished < means of the people and proposing s to issue bonds besides.

Of thp way the party lines have ' been obliterated in the tight in Congress over the tariff Judge Ilamion ? said: t i "It is hardly fair for Republicans, i at least, to charge with Inconsistency ^ , Democratic Congressmen who take n hand in this selfish scrnmble. - In ^ > tho .last campaign tho Republican ( i candidate for President, openly of ferod a - share of tariff spoil for ^ .

To do otherwise ( requires high courage, and we are ! proud of the many who show It in ( the face of tho demoralization which ? legislating for private Instead of 1 ; public interest always produces." Judge Harmon attacked the policy [ of spending hundreds of millions of dollars for a canal at Panama on ' the part of what he said was a conn- v try practically without ships, taxed against the possibility of buying any, ' and with the onlv nrnnn?od " of encouraging shipping', the payment of direct subsidies to a favored v few out of money raised by taxes on all the people. The speaker added: '' "And why tax the people to build 1 a costly canal and secure ships for 1 foreign commerce, while a tariff " system Is maintained whose purpose 11 and effect are to discourage or kill for ign commerce, except such as " consists in selling our products n: abroad at less prices than are lmpos- f'' ed on our own people.

A sysem of pensioning worthy members nay become at no far distant day me of the most important features >f the labor movement in this counry. It all depends upon the out:ome of the efforts of the Typographcal union. So important is this matter that State Commissioner of Labor John Williams of New York State devoted onsiderable space to it in his buletion of labor statistics. Commlsdoner Williams remarks: "The progress of this effort of the \ssociated journeymen printers will jo viewed with interest by national lpioiis of other trades, and if the plan is successful the movement to provide a stipulated allowance for members in their declining years, bus obviating the dread of penury, will doubtless become general anions issociations of labor iu the United States."

An analysis of the ace of the pensioners develops the notable fact that 280, or 58.8 per cent of them, are >etwoen sixty and seventy years; 171 sr 36 per cent are septuagenarians, ind twenty-one, or 5 ; er cent, are jctegenarians, while one is a nonigenarlan.
