Costless witnesses are not allowed
to testify Id the Marlboro county
court. There was a case in which
there Were many witnesses from the
cotton wills. They oatno in. their
shirt aleevos. Judgo Gage told
them that would not d<& Their
coat* were a mile and a half away
At their homes. Hut somehow the
crowd furnished one coat and it
was changed around so that the
whole crowd used it.
Thus truthfully remarko tho Kcr<
jhftw Era : . .
Wo do not hesitate to say that any
ono who simply anchors himself in a
. place to gather up what dollars he
can with a view to moving elKCwhoro
to er?joy them when his selfish end
has been attained, is not deserving
of tbe w*tronsgo of the public in
which tuey locate for that purpose.
The buHincss of a place uhould be
bestowed upon these who nrc thore
to stay arid to help build up tho
community, and everything which
helps build up the community should
bo heartily supported.
The negroes held a convention
Jn LoulsvUre, Ky., recently to pro
test sgainst tho wrongs against
thfeir race. Several prominent negro
>'HgitPtors were there, and' the ten
dsncy seemed to bo the fosteri^
g^nfffct and resistaiH
upremacy. Hooker
ashington was present and
made a strong conservative speech,
pleading for self-restraint and pa
Alcnee by his race. He olaimed
;that the lynching at Wilmington,
Delaware, had removed tho troubljo
: from, the South and it was now s
national issue instead of a secblnnal

The power of & song i? ioiDOflifRf
wond??ful Hi limes. rl ' b 1 a is well
illustrated by n story, und a true
om?f to) (I not long ago:
Two Americans who were|cros?
iflg the Ailunllo dm I in the cabin
<>n Sunday J night to sing hymns
An they *!?<? !?*l hymn,
trover of My one of them
U?? t*rfi ?n fxeeedingly rich and
beautiful voice behind him. H?
looked around, although lu
did not know the far", he thought
thai he knew the, voice. So when
the iu iihIc ceased' he turned uud
a?ked the roan if he had been in
the civil war. The man replied
that he had been a Confederate
soldier.
??Were you at such a place on
such a night?" asked the llrst. .
??Ye?," ho ropliod, "and a curious
thing h append that night which
thVs hymn has recalled to my mind.
1 wua posted on sentry duty near
the edge of a wood, It was a dark
night and very oold, and 1 whs a
little frightened becauso the enemy
was supposed to lie very near.
About midnight, when everything
wan very* still, and I was feeling
homesick and miserable and weary,
1 thought that I would comfort my
self by praying and 'Hinging a
hymn, 1 remember singing this
hymn :
"All my trunt on The? Is ?tayed,
All my help from Theo f bring;
Cover my defenseless head
Wltti the shadow of Thy wing,"
''After singing that a strange
peace came down upon me, and
through the long night I felt no
fear."
^Now,'* said the other, "Helen to
my story, f who a Union soldier
and wan In the woods that night
with a party of soouls. 1 saw you
standing, although I did not see
your face. My men hail their
rifles fooussed upon you, waiting
ihe word to lire, but when you
sang out :

County Supervisors Must Renew
The supervisor of Abbeville coun
ty noglected to renew the Insurance
policy on one of the buildings of
the county, and that building wan
destroyed by fire. The SiatQ,?f
South Carolina in the insurance
The commission does not feel in
any way responsible for the loss as
it is not the duly of tho commis
sion to tenew policies, but tho duty
of the county' supervisors to ^ee
that they ate renewed.
Tho act to "provide for State In
surance of public buildings" was
passed in 1000, and since that time
public buijding* have been insured
by tho sinking fund commission at
a premium of one-half of the rate
of the "old line" companies.
Scction 2 and 11 of this act im
pose upon tho contity supervisor
the duty of insuring the court
house, Jail, alms house and other
public buildingR of tho county (ex
cept school houses) with the sink
ing fund commission and the duty
of forwarding promptly to tho State
treasurer annually the premiums
for renewal of inrurauce on or be
fore tho date of expiration of policy
eaoh year. The policy Issued to
tho oounty supervisor by the sink
Ing fund commission both on its
face and iu tho endorsement on the
bnek thereof coutalns a notion lo
the county supervisor that the
policy expires on a certain day and
cites lo tho supervisor those sec
tions of tho law which requlra him
t to pay the renewal premium to the
Stale treasurer.
Some county super visors are quite
uegbgent in not sondlug promptly
to tho State treasurer premiums
for renewal of policies on or before
tho d*to of cxpliatlon written upon
tho politics which they hold.
Any county supervisor failing to
insuro with tho sinking fund oom
mission the publio buildings of his
county (school houses exoepted) or
wtio fulls to Hnnutiiiy forward to
the State treasurer promptly re
newal premiums is guilty of a mis
demeanor, and upon conviction ia
liable to pay a fine of not less than
#50 or to be imprisioued not leas
than 20 nor more than 30 days ?
this is in addition to their liability
on their official bond if loss occurs.
It therefore behooved eyery coun
ty supervisor to examine his poll
a and to forward to the State
asurer the renewal premiums be
fore the expiration of insurance.
Sonuld any cannty supervisor have
misplaced the policies tho State

story of her heroism briefly told in

vThe Jail adjoined the sheriffs

daughter. The young woman was
called to the front door about 1Q
o'clock. She found the yard full of
masked men. They declared they
had como to hang Moore. Miss!

keys from her father's room.
Styo was back at the door in half
a minute, but the moon fell on the j
barrel of a repeating rifle, which
was leveled. The girl ordered the
mob to scatter and they scattered."
There was no lynching. Bfe? In

hands wero compelled to stop and
think as they looked down the bar*

them a great kindness, too, for most
