Chief Justice Pope has begun to render some opinions recently. Wonder why he didn't do this sooner? It is very evident, even at this stage of the game, that it will take some mighty hard work to save the dispensary. The system seems to be on its last legs. If some Democrats had worked as hard for the success of the ticket as they have been trying to explain how it happened, maybe the result would have been different. Governor Heyward is making a fine record for himself these days in the matter of refusing pardons. He acted on i eight ftppllCdtlOQS iSSi Omuiuajj u seven and granting one. It looks like the Aiken county law and , order league is to be tnrned into a debating society. We would not belittle the work of such an organization, but what is needed is action?not talk. Oh, well, the newspapers are in not such bad shape after all. The dispensary is likely to be a live topic for discussion i for some time to come, and then the legislature meets in January. So we'll have something to talk about for awhile at least. D. S. Henderson, Esq., wrote a long letter which was read at the recent meeting of the law and order league in Aiken, in which he referred to the "black sheep" members of the legal profession and spoke of all such characters being disbarred from practice. If such a movement 7 as this was started in earnest it might . bring about some surprising results. Of course a good deal can be said in .^condemnation of "jurors who have so little regard for decency as to he influenced by illegitimate methods in render???. nowiiMe" hnt what is coine to be I' done with the lawyer who uses "illegitimate methods" in influencing jurors. It seems to us that the lawyer who stoops to questionable means to influence a ver' diet in his favor is more to be feared and -detested than a juror who readily lends himself to such influence. Cleanse the bar and there would be no cause for complaint as to the juries, but just so long as there arc dirty lawyers will there be dishonest and purchasable jurors. There is no use to mince matters; strike at the root of the evil. There are too many men practicing law in South Carolina who ought to be in the penitentiary. Whip It Out of Him. In the schools of a Connecticut town, aays The Baltimore Herald, measures were recently taken to test the children's eyesight. As the doctor finished each school he gave the principal a list of the pupils whose eyes needed attention, and requested him to notify the children's . parents to that effect. One night soon after the opening of the fall term, a little boy came home and gave his father the following note, duly signed by the principal: "M. : Dear Sir:?It becomes my dutv.to inform you that your son shows decided indications of astigmatism, and his case is one that should be attended to WUilUUl UCJajr . ( The next day the father sent the foljjsi&' lowing answer: "Dear Sir:?Whip it out of him. Wgpf; Yours truly, i&r%; # Death in Barnwell. B|j|'' Baenwell, November 15.?On the 9th B-i.V inst., at 9 o'clock a. m., Mrs. Elizabeth pt:.-" Percy Rose Birt, widow of the late Capt. - W. D. Birt, of Long Branch neighborly - hood, died, aged about sixty-five years. She was a daughter of Mrs. Sarah R. v'; Rose, formerly of Port Royal Island, but who died in Orangeburg in the year 1863. There was a strong poetic and artistic talent that showed itself in all the family, paintings of more than ordinary merit executed by different members of her 7 family being extant. The funeral was preached by Rev. W. r G. Britton, who delivered an impressive -discourse. She was buried by the side of I her late nusDana in .bang crancn cnurcn U?r , A Hunt for a Murderer. - A letter received by the Governor Tuesday from Colleton county says that . .Sheriff Owens is endeavoring to catch ; Adams,- the murderer who escaped from the Colleton jail, while under the death h- -sentence. The man is said to be hiding somewhere in the county, and a diligent search is being made for him. I A Prisoner In a W Vessel Capsized, and Captain Was Caught Inside Iran Hull. Predicament qf Commander of fforbuegian Ship?Coffined Jn Hull, He Hammered on Iron TOalU. A Norwegian bark, the Aurora, in command of Captain Sorenain, was Jogging along her course through the Baltic sea about seventy miles from Rixhoft The sea was calm, the sky was clear and the wind Just strong enough to set ripples dancing. "On deck, there P sang out the sailor aloft in the crow's nest "Something adrift in the water on* the port beam! Looks like the keel of a capsized ship!" Through his glass Captain Sorenzln made out the object As he was in no particular hurrr and could not have sailed faster if he wished, he decided to investigate. If the wreck could be Li L3 SIGHT AND DAT HS KEPT HAMMERING OK THE LEON WALLS OF HIS PRISON. I taken in tow some salvage might be secured. Accordingly a boat was low- < ered and sent away. When the sailors reached the object they found It, as they supposed, a capsized vessel with an iron hull. The wreck was nearly submerged, only the keel and the round of the bottom being above the surface. As the men from the Aurora clambered upon the hull they were startled bj what seemed to be a sound of knocking inside. i A hoarse voice, unmistakably a hu- < man voice, shrieked from within. The salvage corps at once became a i rescuing party. They found that from one part of the upturned hull they could communicate with, but not reach, the imprisoned man. Curiosity prompted them to question him before they took further measures for his relief. He had been imprisoned there for twelve days, he told them, shut up alone in the inverted cabin of a capsized vessel, drifting he knew not where and unable to make any signals of distress. The rescuers found it Impossible to get the man out of his cramped and dangerous quarters. They could not cut through the iron bottom and had no diving apparatus. Accordingly it was decided to tow the wreck into the port of Neufahrwosser, near Dantzic. There the wreck was docked beneath a great shipyard crane, and chains were passed under it to prevent it from settling. Blacksmiths were set to work removing the iron plating. Only after ten hours of hard work was the liberation effected. Amid loud cheers the imprisoned sailor was taken out, carried to a hotel and given medical attention. In a few hours he had recovered sufficiently to talk. He was, he said, Hans Engellandt, thirty-two years old, captain and part owner of the coasting vessel Erndte. At Russ, near Memel, he took on a cargo of lumber for Oldenburg. Soon alter leaving port a severe storm arose, and, buffeting the Erndte severely, it continued all that day and far into the night About 4 o'clock the next morning Engellandt turned the wheel over to the mate and went below to his cabin. He had scarcely taken his clothss off to retire before c terrific Dquall struck the J vessel, and she topped completely over. 1 So quickly was the Erndte upon her back that almost before Captain En- 1 gellandt realized what had happened he found himself sprawling on what had been the ceiling of the cabin,.with the ship's keel instead of its spars over- 1 head. . . At the same time the pressure of water from the outside closed the cabin ! door and held it fast. Captain Engellandt was a prisoner in the cabin of an overturned wreck. In any event ho i was better off than the three member! of his crew.. They have not been seen or heard of since. Water rose to a height of five feet in the cabin and then stopped, being held back by the volume of air compressed within. When the ship was built a recepta?' ? V. _ J U A AM KAMAO f K A Civ uuu uceu cuu?u uv-icu i/cumu floor of the cabin between it and the keel for the storage of spare sails. As this compartment was now overturned and above the water, Engellandt sought shelter th<?re. Fortunately a chest of drawers containing condensed milk, prunes, rice, sugar and smoked sausages was within reach of Engellandt Twelve days of indescribable anguish followed. Cooped up in a dark, ill smelling hole, with little to eat and not knowing what minute the ship might go down, the plight of Engellandt was most pitiable. As he wore nothing but his underclothing, he suffered at first severely from the cold. After awhile, however, he found some bags and old sails in the cuddy hole and managed with them to make himself more comfortable. He also made a rude bed. a namiuer wiiicu oy sume cuhuit had found Its way under the cabin floor was very useful to Engellandt Night and day during his waking moments he kept hammering on the Iron walls of his prison to attract attention. On the twelfth day, hearing an unusual noise, apparently near the ship, Engellandt redoubled his hammering. Voices became audible, and to his great Joy he heard them hall. The men of the Aurora came none too soon. DA.7UJVG JUMV FOR^ WBETlTy It Failed of Sxtceete, but year* Later ^/Inot her Jump Saxfed a Life. "Some days ago," said Attorney Luther Laflln Mills of Chicago, "I read in the papers an account of how a daring prisoner leaped from an upper story of the criminal court building in an attempt to escape. "The case* brings to my mind a aim-1 liar one that occurred about twenty years ago at the same building. I prosecuted a young man for burglary, and he was convicted and sentenced to six years In the penitentiary. The prospect of such "long Imprisonment made him desperate. After sentence, as he was being conveyed by a deputy sheriff from the courtroom to the jail across the passage connecting the two buildings, he suddenly sprang over the low hand railing. He fell forty-five feet, yet somehow landed safely and at once made a bold dash for liberty, running at top speed north In Dearborn avenue. The alarm was quickly given, and deputy sheriffs and policemen started In pursuit After an exciting chase they captured him In a barn not far from Lincoln park. In due course he was frt ofofa nvlann Tirharo ha aapvaH taa^M vv ovavc yitovu) n uv4v mv wv? ?w. his term. "One evening about twelve years ago on approaching the Clark street bridge I found it open, and an excited crowd of several hundred pen ions was-shouting and gesticulating. A. policeman informed me that a woman bad fallen into the river. She wets drowning before their eyes, and all they did was to crush one another and yell like imbeciles. Suddenly a young man forced his way through the throng, stood gazing for an instant and them plunged into the water. He got the woman as she was going down for the third time, 8truck out for the bank, and both he and she were landed in safety. " What is your name? inquired a spectator of the brave young rescuer. " 'I have no name that the public is Interested in,' he replied. Then he HE 8PBA2TO OVEB THE LOW BAXLUfO. shook himself like a wet spaniel and disappeared in the crowd. "But like a flash I had recognized the young man. He was the same that I helped to send to the penitentiary, the same whose leap for liberty may still find a place in the memory of criminal court attaches. "His leap for liberty, his own, was a failure; his leap for life, another's, a success.
