If McSweeney allows that free pass act, passed by the last legislature, to become a law by not signing it, thus dodging the issue, he will find it an expensive thing for him. The proper thing to do is to veto it, but he should have the manhood to sign it if he is in favor of its becoming a law. Wednesday of last week was Negro Day at the Charleston Exposition, and Thomas E. Miller, president of the State Colored College at Orangeburg, made an address. It was full of good advice to his race, and he advised them that there was no such thing as social equ&jty X: between the negro and white man. From the additions to the pauper list, it is plain that it will be economical for the county to establish a poor house and farm. The county commissioners and grand jury are in favor of it, and our representatives in the general assembly should take the matter in hand and secure the needed legislation at the coming session. The necessity lor doming me raiiruau commission with more power grows more apparent every day, and the legislature should take the needed action. With such men as C. W. Garris composing the board, it would do much good for the people of the State. As it is now, many matters come up which the commission can only recommend action on by the railroads. They cannot be forced, and the legislature should give the board the power to require the railroads to comply with their recommendations. As Sheriff Hunter sees- fit to insert his advertisements only in another paper, in order that our readers majr keep up with all official sales, we herewith publish the * following sales for the first Monday in January, as a matter of news.?Bamberg Herald. In justice to Sheriff Hunter, this paper wishes to say that the advertisements referred to above were put in this paper by one of the attorneys in the case. However, it is his prerogative to put them in any paper he sees fit, and no one has any authority to question his right to do so.? Bamberg Times. There is nothing in the remarks of this newspaper to warrant the inference that any one wished to interfere with Sheriff * Hunter's "prerogative", and the quickness with which The Times hastens to explain is to be wondered at, for the reason that it has nothing whatever to do with the matter^ In" plain language this is none of its business, and we commend to the thoughtful consideration of its editor the story about a man who got rich minding his own business. We realize, however, that it is only an attempt on the part of that paper to make capital out of our remarks. Nothing in what we said was intended to interfere with the Sheriff's right to do as he pleased, and we were not "kicking" about it. It was merely a statement explaining to our readers why we published Sheriff's sales as news. The Sheriff has seen us about the court house during the past two weeks, and if he had wanted any explanation of the matter made, he had ample opportunity to say so to us. Unclassified Ads. *.

These prizes range from $400 for the highest to $5.00 for the lowest list from any agent during the period, in addition $250 will be divided pro rata among all agents who send twenty or more subscriptions and fail to get any other prize. This is a liberal offer and the details of it will be sent you by applying to the Atlanta Constitution, Atlanta, Ga. The $2,000 upon the Savannah, Ga., cotton receipts will be given as follows: To the person sending a yearly subscription to the Atlanta Constitution (weekly) together with the correct estimate on the cotton receipts of Savannah, Ga., from September 1st, 1901 to April 15th, 1902. $1,000 if the estimate is received during January. $500 if the estimate is received during February. fzou ii me esumaie is receiveu uuriug March or up to April 10th. The above are for the exact estimates, there are besides these the following prizes that will be paid out for the nearest estimates to the Savannah cotton receipts ceipts at any time during the contest: $250, $100, $75, $50, $25, for the next nearest estimates in their order. There is also a great consolation offer. $500 will be distributed among those who fail to secure one of the larger prizes and whose estimates come within 500 bales either way of the exac^ft?m-e. This allows a margin o?_100tfbaleswithin which all estimates-tfi-e sure to receive part of the prize money offered. The point is to strike the estimate exactly during January. This is a possibility. In a contest similiar to this the Constitution has had the number hit exactly and paid out $1,000 for the estimate. In another similar contest the estimate has come within one of the exact figure, and all the prizes offered have been paid out upon estimates that were not fifty removed from the exact estimate. The Constitution's market page will give each week the port receipts for the cotton season from which you can always seethe Savannah, Ga., port receipts from September 1, 1901 up through the Friday immediately preceding publication. This will keep you posted to within two or three days before you send in your estimate. The Atlanta Constitution for 1902 will be better than ever before. Its special news features are unsurpassed.

The Sunny South has been brought under a close subscription alliance with the Atlanta Constitution. It is jiow a weekly literary paper conducted in the interest of Southern readers. One of its avowed purposes is the exploitation of the Southern field of literature and the encouragement of Southern talent.

Senator Tillmafi| of South Carolina, has been lecturing in New Orleans. The Y. M. C. A. gave him a theme, but he announced that he woul3 not stick to the text and he did not. He severely criticized the Louisiana congressmen who voted with the Republicans on the Philippine tariff and said they had swapped principle ! for sugar. The New Orleans papers defend their congressmen as well as they can. The South Carolina senator took a gloomy view of affairs. He charged that j the administration and congress, as at J present constituted, was run by capitalists and speculators, and he saw 110 hope of reform unless some honest, fearless Democrat could carry the country and have a congress with him. He thought that the prosperity so clamorously heralded was confined to spots north of Mason's and Dixon's line and that the south had little share in it. When at Memphis the senator lectured j again and in an interview, gave this spicy comment on the president: j "Personally, I like Mr. Roosevelt. I think he is an honest man, striving to do (right. But I must admit the conviction that he is utterly incapable of performing I the duties of the president of the United , States as they should be performed. He I is too much of a stormy petrel. He can't fly when the wind is not high. Many of his acts are not only radical,they are rash." Speaking of the Republican party, he said: "With Roosevelt at its head, it is playing right into the hands of the Democrats, j The Booker T. Washington incident, the i Schley court of inquiry, and other recent ! events have worked lasting injury to the I dominant party." "Some time ago my daughter caught a severe cold. She complained of pains in her chest and had a bad cough. I gave her Chamberlain's Cough Remedy according to directions and in two days she was well and able to go to school. I have used this remedy in my family for the past seven years and have never known it to fail," savs James Prendergast, merchant, Annato Bay, Jamaica, West India Islands.

Augusta, Ga., Jan. 1.?Three people were killed and two wounded last night at Robbins, S. C., in a fight which occurred during a party given at the residence of Jesse Griffin. The participants in the fight were white people and well known in this part of the county. The dead are George Dunbar, Harry Dunbar, and Fletcher Bennet. The wounded are Mrs. George Dunbar, and Arthur Dunbar. A "watch party" was given at the residence of Jesse Griffin and during the evening William Cobb became involved in a dispute with George Dunbar. Cobb soon left the house. After his departure the quarrel was taken up by Fletcher Bennet and Dunbar drew his pistol. Griffin was the first one to interfere by taking Dunbar's pistol from him. Fletcher Benpet suddenly seized the weapon and shot Geo. Dunbar, killing him instantly. The latter'sson, Harry came to the defense, but was also killed by Bennet. Arthur Dunbar, another son, also joined in the fight and shot Bennet. The shooting then became general and Bennet received a second shot which killed him. Mrs. Dunbar was also shot but it is believed she will recover. Arthur Dunbar is fatally wounded. another account. The following is a telegram from Columbia: "Information has just been received here giving the full amiinTnute details of the most ,.a?ocfcing tragedy that has ever darkened the history of Barnwell county. "At the home of Mr. J. C. Griffin, near Robbin's Station, a New Year's dance was given. During the dance a young man by the name of Hobbs trod upon th e foot of, or in some way fell against Hevward Dunbar. Hobbs apologized, but young Dunbar was not satisfied and went to his father, George R. Dunbar, telling him that he had been insulted. Mr. Dunbar at once drew his pistol and advanced toward the room where Hobbe was. As he was in the act of shooting, a bystander knocked the pistol up. Going wide of its mark the bullet struck Mr. Fletcher Bennet, one of the many guests in the room, and who was in no way connected with the disturbance. Falling to the floor Bennett drew his pistol and returned the fire, shooting George Dunbar, who fell dead with a bullet in his heart. Resting on his elbow Bennet continued firing and killed Mr. Dunbar's son, Harry, a 16-yearold boy, and mortally wounded another son, Arthur. Mrs. Dunbar, the wife ana mother, was struck in the abdomen by a stray bullet, which bounded from her corset, thereby probably saving her life. George Dunbar Kirkland, a nephew of the deceased, now rushed upon the scene aud drew his pistol upon the wounded Bennet, who was lying on the floor supported by the arm of his brother. The brother entreated Kirkland not to shoot. but with an oath the latter ordered him to move and threatened to kill him also. Without any further efforts to save his unfortunate brother he sprang aside, leaving him to his fate. Kirkland put two bullets into the forehead of the prostrate man who died instantly. The coroner and sheriff were at once summoned and an inquest held. Kirkland is now in the county jail at Barnwell, having surrendered to the sheriff. "The wounded boy was sent to the Augusta Hospital a few hours after he was shot, and died there two days after." Children Especially Liable.

Qfl* SOME LEGAL FREAKS CURIOUS TWISTS THAT OBTAIN IN ENGLISH CRIMINAL LAW. A Ferion May Be Guilty of Perjnry Though He Sweari to the Troth?No Such Offense as Trespass ? Points Abont Forgrery. In no branch of the law as It Is dispensed In Great Britain are such curious points to be found or a greater number of anomalies to be met with than in the criminal branch thereof. It may be news to some people, for instance, to knoxv that there are a number of things in existence which cannot be stolen, such as a corpse, animals ferae naturae?i. e., animals wild in a state of nature (with certain exceptions created by statute)?soil of the earth, etc. To attempt to steal nothing would appear on the face of It to be an impossibility, much less a crime, but a man indicted for attempting to pick a lady's pocket which was subsequently found to be empty was found guilty of an "attempt to commit theft," though, in fact, there was nothing in the pocket to steal. Any one lucky enough to pick up a sovereign lying In the road will be glad to hear that, if at the time of finding It ho had no reasonable means of discovering the owner of it, and also if he did not at the same time conceive the Idea of appropriating it to himself, he will not be guilty of stealing if he keeps his lucky find, even If the rightful owner discovers and claims it Most people walking in the country must have noticed on numerous occasions boards or placards posted up in woods, fields, etc., notifying in large letters that "trespassers will be prosecuted," but few are aware that such notices are utterly useless and no one need feel the least alarm thereat, there being no such offense known in criminal law as such a trespass, and a person could never be prosecuted for such an offense. They are, in fact, in the words of that eminent jurist. Sir Frederick Pollock, in his well known work, "Pollock on Torts," a "wooden falsehood." It is a common fallacy to imagine that the crime of forgery consists in signing another's name, though in fact committing forgery consists in making and uttering any false instrument in writing with attempt to defraud; thus it may be a forgery to omit a word from a document, and It will be a matter of considerable surprise to many to learn that It is possible for a person to forge his or her own name. A person, however, who fraudulently inserts another's name on a picture, thereby selling It as the work of some ether artist, is not guilty of forgery, as a picture is not an "instrument in writing." The crime of perjury also does not quite "fit In" with the generally accepted Idea, which Is that If a person, after being sworn on oath to speak the truth, swears falsely, he 1:3 guilty of such ofTense. Tills is correct with the important qualification that the fact the witness has sworn to must be material to the case. Thus, if a witness on being duly sworn gave a false address on being asked where he lived, this, though untrue, would not amount to perjury, as the pfcce where the witness lived would; be quite immaterial. Tliat a person may be guilty of perjury though speaking the truth may seem a curious a nomaly, but such nevertheless is the L'act, as the test of perjury is not whether a person is speaking what he believes to be the truth: so, If a witness, for Instance, on being ask<*l, "What colored tie wis the prisoner wearing when you met him?" replied "red," when in fact he did not really notice, he would be guilty of perjury, even though the piisoner was in reality wearing a red tie when the witness met him. Numerous other instance: r of crimes which present similar curious points to the above might be given, and, in passing, persons taking out insurances against burglary might note that this crime can only be commlttiid between the hours of 9 p. m. and 6 a. m.; that breaking into a house by means of an open door or window is not burglary, although entering a house by sliding down the chimney is. We must not conclude this article without a short reference to a comparatively recent case In wbicfc a man not possessing the means to pa./ entered a restaurant, where he ordered and ate a good dinner. As, however, he was unable to pay for the same he was given in charge and subsequently Indicted for "obtaining goods by false pretenses." The case resulted in the prisoner's acquittal on the ground that he had not been guilty of any false pretenses. This individual therefore had a good meal on the cheap, but we should not advise any entei.-p rising reader to emulate his example, as, although he could not indeed be prosecuted for obtaining goods by false pretenses, it seems that he will still be criminally liable under the bankruptcy act for obtaining credit by fraudulent means.?London Tit-Bits. A vert In* a Panic. On one occasion John Philip iSousa by his promptness was the direct means of stopping a panic which might have had the most disastrous results. While his band was playing before; 12,000 people in St Louis the electric lights In the hall went out suddenly. People began to move uneasily In their seats, and some even began to make a rush for the doors. Coolly tappi ag with his baton, Sousa gave a signal, and immediately his band began playing, "Oh, Dear, What Can the Matter Be?" A tiny ripple of laughter that went round the audience showed that confidence had partially been restored. When the band began to play "Wait Till the Clouds Roll By," the laughter deepenei into a roar of merriment that only ended when the lights were turned on again. Child Worth Millions.

Chicago, January 4.?With a legacy of $28,000 awaiting him in England, Jack Kelly, the village blacksmth of Highland Park, refuses to leave his forge to seek the money and the comforts which it will bring him. Furthermore he declares he would keep on shoeing horses if the amount were ten times as large. Arrangements will be made to send the money to him. The legacy comes to Kelly because he was a good boy. Of Irish birth, he was apprenticed to a well-to-do horseshoer in Liverpool by the name of John Proctor. He was liked by his employer and considered one of the family. When twenty-four years of age Kelly came to America and from that time until he received word of the legacy he had not heard from the Proctors. But they had not forgotten him. A year ago Mrs. Proctor died and as there were no children she willed her share of the estate to Kelly. Shortly after that Proctor died and left his money to Kelly. "What will I do with my money?" said Kelly. "I'll invest it for my three children most likely. There is nothing that I want that it can bring me. Here ani I a contented man and thus I expect to remain." Thousands Sent into Exile.

Buclier, of Chicago, at one time the best-known traveling salesman in his line, is fond of telling about the man whose oily tongue and calm assurance first fired him with ambition to be a figure in commercial life, says the New York Times. "It happened iu the early days down on the farm," said Mr. Bucher. The fellowhad a patent stump puller. His style was grandiloquent when expatiating on the merits of his contrivance. I remember this favorite boast: '"Why. sir, that machine will pull up anything that God Almighty has ever ? 1 a i in piuniou. "He prevailed upon us to give him a trial and accordingly we snagged the stubboruest stump on the farm with the machine and attached a team of horses. They tugged and strained, but couldn't budge the stump. We put on more horses. Still there was 110 sign of victory for the stump puller. A third relay of horse-power caused the device to close up like a pair of scissors, and that was the end of it. We jeered unmercifully, but the agent met us with a solemn rejoinder: "'That stump was planted deeper than I thought,' he declared. 'The other party has certainly got hold of the roots!'"

Shoemaker of the bureau of eharities and corrections of this city, who has been having a few words with City Solicitor Kinsey, has attended more public men and politicians in his professional capacity than perhaps any physician in the State. Several years ago he was a member of the campaigning party of Gen. Hastings. At Norristown it became necessary to treat the future governor's throat to a soothing spray from an atomic sprayer, worked by a bulb and small rubber tube. A burly countryman with a broomstick in his hand kept guard at the stairway leading to Gen. Hastings' room, to prevent curious ones from intruding. "You can't go up," was his invariable answer to callers. "Why can't I go up?" finally demanded an indignant Republican. "'Cause there's a feller up there docterin' him," replied the guard, referring to Dr. Shoemaker's spraying process. "What's he doing to the general," persisted the visitor. isiame ei i Know, uui ne s pumpin wind er water into the general, an' I don't know which. Anyway's ye can't go up." ?Philadelphia Telegraph. A Good Recommendation. "I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain's Stomach & Liver Tablets is almost invariably to those who have once used them," says Mr. J. H. Weber, a prominent druggist of Cascade, Iowa. What better recommendation could any medicine have than for people to call for it when again in need of such a remedy? Try them when you feel dull after eating, when you have a b^d taste in your mouth, feel bilious, have no appetite or when troubled with constipation, and you are certain to be delighted with the prompt relief which they afford.
