Sam P. Jones is supporting Hon. Dupont Guerry for Governor of L Georgia, who is to make the race as a prohibitionist. Mr. Jones is thinking of taking the stump for Guerry in the campaign next summer, and if he does Georgia is likely to have a political upheaval. Let us hope it will be one that will do good. A wave of indignation has spread over the whole country on account of President Roosevelt having Booker Washington, the negro educator, to dine with him at the white house. We must say we are surprised, for we gave both men credit for more sense. However, we are glad it occurred for one reason. Washington has been luade u sort of hero by Southern white people; he has addressed white audiences even in South Carolina, has been . a prominent figure in connection with - the Charleston Exposition, and other favors likely to turn his head have been sbown him by Southern white people. The incident will show these people what ?f W Quit i it rrtnn will UICU ICVVSUItlVII Vii II ? O lead to, and now we trust the}* will change their treatment of him. For this reason i we are glad the unpleasant affair has ocL * curred. BUI AT HOME. We have often mentioned this subject Mr before and it appears to have done some a good, but we want to impress upon our people the fact that they are working ?against their own interests and the town when they buy goods away from home. We feel sure that those who order goods pay higher prices, and the only way to build up a town is to patronize those who live here and have their money invested ^ in our enterprises. Every dollar sent away is just that much taken out of cirV i culation here, which, if spent at home either directly or indirectly benefits the p?-. whole community. If our merchants ||| haven't the article you want in stock, they will take pleasure in ordering it for p- you and this them an opportunity -i to find out the wants of their customers | and anticipate them. We hope the day will soon come when this way of i." buying elsewhere will be finally stopped, gpr.; Wlien this is done there will be no complaint that our merchants do not keep the right sort of goods. Merchants are business men, and they will buy what Hey '* * the trade demands. If our people want ??- goods not kept by them now, give them the opportunity and we are sure they will meet the wants of the purchasing public. COUNTY AFFAIRS. Our representatives in the general assembly will have important work before them in regard to our county affairs at the coming session of the legislature. It seems to us to be an exceedingly difficult problem to run the county on a three mills tax levy and not get in debt. For our part, we had rather the levy would be raised than for parties who do work for the county to be forced to discount their claims. Last fall we advocated raising the tax levy, because we could not , see how the county could pay its running (Hp "V expenses on a tax of three mills. We still do not believe it possible, and we are forced to the conclusion that this is the |k only solution of the difficulty. We favor economy in all county affairs, and all public money should be wisely expended, but there is no reason for keeping the tax Plevy down if it has been demonstrated that the amount realized is insufficient for our needs. Our representatives should meet at the court house before the legis* 1, lature convenes and go over county affairs thoroughly and carefully, calling into consultation the count}'officials who can help them to a proper understanding of the county's finances. They certainly cannot legislate intelligently on county matters unless they are familiar with all expenditures for every purpose, and this information cannot be obtained quite so well by any other means. Then, there is the matter of a countv poor house. The uoaru ui cuuiim tuuuuisoiuuiio uu<v v?<_ cided that such an institution ought to be established, and the legislature will have to pass an act authorizing the commissioners to borrow money for this purpose. Certain it is that a poor house would be economy for the county, and we hope to * see it established. His Skull Crushed. Charleston, S. C., Oct. 17.?C. H. Mappus, a German, was murdered last night at his store seven miles from here and near several negro villages. Clad in night clothes the body of the dead man was found this morning lying across the bed, his skull crushed and the bed clothes washed in blood. On the floor near the ? bed was a box of chewing tobacco all stained with blood, showing clearly that it was the weapon used in taking his life. The murdered man was no doubt struck ^ several blows, for the bed clothing was P- disarrangcd.indicatingthat there had been a struggle which no doubt followed after the flrst blow was struck. The store till was robbed of all the money in sight. No clue as yet to the murderer. Letter to Mr. 1). F Hooton. y -Bamberg, S. C.

Early. This case was appealed from Darlington county, and will be of interest to our people for the reason that it is about the same case that is to be tried at the December term of court here. Several years ago S. \V. Tate, in Darlington, sold several county rights for what he then called the Kitchen Cabinet. He took notes from the purchasers of these rights and discounted them to other parties before they fell due. The makers of the notes refused to pay them at maturity, alleging that there had been fraud and misrepresentation on the part of Tate. The case was tried in the circuit court and a verdict found for the holders of the notes. An appeal was taken to the Supreme court, and now that court reverses the decision of the lower court and sends it back for a new trial, which is a victory for the defendants. The cases here are very much like this one. Tate sold county rights here last vear to several parties, taking their notes therefor, which notes he discounted before maturity. These parties, or some of them, refused to pay the notes, alleging fraud and misrepresentation on the part of Tate, and the holders of the notes have entered suit Tate called his machine the Economy Kitchen Grocer here. The matter has attracted much interest here, and the case will be vigorously fought by both sides: Henry J. Hiekson, respondent, vs. John H. Early, appellant.?IMcading.Statemont of separate defenses. Demurrer. Fraud. Misrepresentation. Tiiis is an action upon three proiuisory notes severally made by the defendant tc 8. W. Tate and by said Tate transferred before maturity to the plaintiiT for value The answer set up three defenses?tin tirst of these being as follows: 1. That the notes sued on were to tin National Cabinet company for the purchase money of 00 cabinets?the defendant contracting to sell each cabinet se purchased for the regular list price? $12.50. 2. That said notes wore obtained from the defendant by the said S. \V. TaU by fraud and misrepresentations, in thai the said S. W. Tate induced the defend ant to execute the said notes by falsely representing to him that he, the said 8 W. Tate, had found a ready sale lor tin said cabinets at the regular list price ol $12.50 each, and by giving to the defend ant the names of numerous persons t< whom, he alleged, he had sold the sail ! cabinets at said list price, but who, th< defendant has since ascertained, purchas ed said cabinets at a very much reilucei price; and by further representing to tlx defendant that neither he, the said S. W Tate, nor any one oralis agents, had evcj sold any of said cabinets for less than tin said list price, all of said representation! being wholly false; and that the said S W. Tate knew the said representations U be false at the time that he made them and made the same with intent todeceivt and defraud the defendant. 3. That the notes described in tin complaint were executed by flie defend ant in consequence of the representation.' hereinbefore mentioned. 4. That the defendant is informer and believes that the plaintiff had noticr of the facts hereinbefore alleged at am before the assignment and delivery to liin of the said notes. The plaintiff demurred to tlieanswcrthe ground of demurrer to the first defens* being that "the alleged misrepresenta tions contained therein do not constitute fraud and deceit in law, are insufticien as a foundation to avoid payment of th< purchase price said to be represented b; the notes sued upon, and amount to notli ing more than dealer's talk." The circuit court (Judge Gage) sustain ed the demurrer as to the first defens ami overruled it as to the other defenses The jury found for the plaintiff and fror the judgment thereafter entered the dc fendant appealed. If the facts alleged in the statemer of the first defense are true, they cor stitute a good defense to the plaintiff action. (McCorkle v. Dobv, 1 Strob. 4(K Lebby v. Ahrens, 2(> S. C. 27a; 14 Am. Eng/Enc. Law, 2d Ed., 28 et seq.) Appellant's exception, that the cour below erred in sustaining the deinurrei on the ground previously stated and r< duced to writing (the exception contair ing such ground in full) is amply specifi and is strictly in accordance with rule of this court. Since the adoption of rule 5 in its pres ent form, an appeal from an order sus taining a demurrer based upon one groun< cannot be sustained here upon otlie grounds of insufficiency not passed upoi by the circuit court. (MilHiiser v. IIol levnian, 37 S. C. 572.) The single question presented to an< passed upon by the court below iswhether the alleged false and fraudulen representations constitute such fraud a would render the contract void. Such representations, to constitute : defense, must be as to a past or existin fact and must be material. The representations set forth in th statement of the first defense were ma terial, and they were well calculated I deceive the defendant and induce him t enter into the contract here in question. If the defendant's allegations in in first defense be proved upon the trial h will be entitled to be relieved from th obligation of performimr such contract by the fraud thus practised upon hin (Lebby v. Ah reus, 20 S. C\ 275, and au thorities cited.) The issues raised by the second defens and the verdict thereon did not settle th issues presented under the first defens ?this because the issue of fraud is raise under the first defense, whilst no sue! issue is presented by the second. Where fraud is relied upon cither t support an action or sustain a defens the fraud relied upon must be alleged an proved?and the statement of the secon defense herein contains no such allcgs tion. Where several defenses arc separate] set out in an answer, allegations contain ed in a statement of one defense canm be used to supply any deficiency in th statement of any other defense in th same pleading?for each defense mm contain within itself all necessary avei ments or beheld had on demurrer. (Ilan mond v. Railroad, 15 S. 0. 10, and ease cited; Stanley v. Shoolbred, 25 S. C. 18 Cohrs v. Fraser, 58 S. C. 351; Glenn a Summer, 182 U. S. 157.) This court cannot undertake to dt termine the particular grounds upo which a jury may have based their vci diet. Even from the assumption that th jury found that the plaintiff herein ha no notice of certain facts relating to th second defense, it would not follow tlwi the plaintiff had no notice of the total 1 different facts set up in support of th first defense. The demurrer to the first defense shoul have been overruled. As the issues presented by the defens other than the first have already bee tried, and a verdict thereon lias bee rendered, to which no exception ha been taken, the verdict on those issiu must be regarded as final so far as thos issues are concerned. Order below reversed, and the cas remanded for a new trial. Opinion b Mr. Chief Justice Mclver. A Hallowe'en Magazine.

IIami'Ton, Oct. 20.?Deputy Sheriff Bowers returned from the neighborhood of Estill this morning and reporteda lynching there on Friday night. On that night a negro tramp entered the sleeping room of Dr. Lee Peeples' home with the purpose of robbery and secured two watches and a pistol. Mrs. Peeples awoke before he made his escape. She called her husband and lie gave chase. The robber tired at him but missed Mrs. Peeples ouly by a few inches. The communitv became aroused aud vigorous > -.1 search was maue wun iue um ui uiuuu hounds. The negro was caught and swung up four or five miles from Estill. ANoTllKK S'l'OKY. The Savannah Morning News of yesterday contained the following story of an anticipated lynching in this State; the governor has heard nothing about it: "According to meagre reports received in Savannah last night, the lynching of a negro was scheduled to come of! some time about midnight at Scotia, S. ( ., a station on the Seaboard Air Line. The prisoner was a negro desperado, who had robbed a house Thursday night, and who attempted to murder the man whose home he had entered. "The negro had gathered up his plandor and was leaving when the owner of the place woke. The burglar had taken a revolver from the house and tired at the man in whose place he was. The shot missed its mark and the robber es, caped. A short while later with the same revolver he held up a white man on the road and relieved him of some money. "The negro was followed by armed residents of the section in which the crimes were committed and was arrested with his plunder at Estill, several miles away. The revolver with which he made an ef- J t fort to kill the man whose house he had I robbed was found 011 him. The robber . was taken back to Scotia and it was decided to hang him last night. A drummer was invited to stay over to the lyncht ing and brought the story to the city. No further information could be obtain ed." ! McLaurin Lands His Man. Washington, Oct. 21.?The president l today appointed George R. Koester, col lector of internal revenue for the dist, trict of South Carolina, to succeed E. A. - Webster, deceased. The appointment was announced shortly before the depart. tire of the president for New Haven this > afternoon. With the appointment the F following statement was issued. "Mr. Koester is a prominent gold demo) crat, and has been recommended for the I position by a large number of influential ; business men and representative citizens - not only of South Carolina, but of North 1 Carolina and elsewhere." > The appointment of Mr. Koester termi. nates a controversy which began upon r Mr. Roosevelt's awession to the presi? dency. It was in connection with this * appointment and that of ex-Governor . Jones to a federal judgeship in Alabama > that the president announced that his , policy in regard to southern appoint2 ments would be to name suitable republicans if they could be found and if not to ? appoint democrats. Mr. Blalock, who - has been long identified with the republis can party in South Carolina, was at first understood to be slated for this position, 1 but the president later decided not to ap2 point him. Subsequently Senator Mc1 Laurin, whom the president consulted i about the matter, suggested the name of Mr. Koester, who is known in the State - as an independent democrat. The presie dent sent for Mr. Koester and had a per sonal interview with him last Saturday ti evening. Mr. Koester is still in the city, t ~ e COLUMBIA SUKPUISED. y Columbia, S. C., Oct. 21.?The news of - the appointment of Geo. R. Koester caused astonishment here. It was not - known that he was an applicant. The e suprise was all the more marked because ' it was reported last spring that he had n declined to allow his name to be used in !* connection with the Columbia postuflice appointment. Mr. Koester has been a consistent supt porter of Senator McLaurin since the i- latter's appointment to succeed the late * Joseph II. Earle in the senate, and has ): been an ardent champion of McLaurin in c the semi-campaign of the last few months, He is as close to McLaurin as any other t man in the State. r M r. Koester was editor of the Columbia > Register when McLaurin's star began tc i- rise and his support of McLaurin at the c time is said to have caused his withdrawal 5 from the Register and his establishing the Record, an afternoon paper. He left here for Washington Friday afternoon. It is supposed that his appointment will hold tl good for four years, although he is to fill r the unexpired term of Mr. Webster.

An eminent Americau lawyer now deceased, was sadly given to intoxication. 1 On one occasion he entered a church whilst the minister was holding forth on the future punishment of the wicked. Fixing his eye upon the lawyer, who was reeiing near the door, the preacher exclaimed: "There stands a sinner against whom I will bear witness in the day of judgment." At this the lawyer folded his arms, planted himself as firmly as he could, and addressing the man in the pulpit, he electritied the whole congregation after this fashion : "Sir, I have been practicing in the criminal courts for twenty years, and 1 have always found that the greatest rascal is the first to give State's evidence."
