Rutledge Rivers issued today , his first circular letter to the Knights of * Pythias of the State, in the course of which he makes an appeal to the members of the order to discourage lynching, and of course not to participate in any move- ~ ment of the kind. He takes the position 1 that they as members take an obligation J to obey the lawful authorities, and partic- 1 ipation in lynching bees is hot in accord < with this obligation.

"When this copy of the Medium is distributed among its intelligent readers the political contest will be over. It is a i great gratification to us to know and feel that no injustice has been done to any as- ; pirant for office by us. It is our rule to j say nothing injurious to any one's reputation, for generally a man has no chance against a newspaper when a political con- | test is going on. During the course of our life we have been more distressed by words we have ! spoken in haste than "by any act done. For that reason, years ago we put a guard 1 upon our tongue and refrained from talking too much. If the spoken word which ' gives so much pain vanishes upon the air how much more cautious should we be in putting our thoughts in printer's ink to v stand for years as a record against, us. In times of political excitement the observance of our role is more obligatory than ever. When the excitement dies out it is supreme satisfaction to the editor to know that he has said and done nothing with which to reproach himself no matter how high excitement ran.?Abbeville Medium. v.

Earje, of the United States Navy, a son 1 of the late Senator Jos. H. Earle, has * taken charge of the quarantine scation at ! Charleston. 1 A special term of court has been ordered in Marlboro coupty to try the negro who criminally assaulted Mrs. Lucy Ann t Patterson last week. Judge J. H. Hud- J son, of JBennettsville, will preside. i The case against Gus Cartee, the young i white man of Spartanburg, has been settled out of court. Cartee was charged with attempting to get too familiar with Mrs. J. W. Johnson, with whom he ] boarded. An effort is on foot to establish a dispensary at Bowman, Orangeburg county, but a petition is being circulated against it and it seems that the efforts of the good ( people of that town to prevent the establishment of a rum shop there will be sue- , cessful. G. Wash Hunter, a young white man, , was convicted of manslaughter in Laurens last week, but he was given a new trial on account of some irregularities in 1 rnnnfip.tion with the iurv. He is to be tried again this week. He killed a young ' companion named Copeland, a cripple, in a quarrel while gambling. ( The city of Charleston and Governor D. C. Heyward for the State of South < Carolina, have extended invitations to the governors of Georgia and North j Carolina to come to Charleston for the presentation of a silver service each to , the battleships North Carolina and , Georgia. It se ems that no port in either State has deep enongh water to accommodate these large fighting machines. One day last week, R. C. Brockinton, a young clerk in the State bank at Colum- , bia was sent to the express office with two : packages of money to send off. One contained $500 in silver and the other $2,000 in bills. He shipped the silver and disap- ! peared with the $2,000. His whereabouts 1 are unknown. It is said that he was a good young man and not dissipated in any way. His widowed mother lives in i Wmnsboro. In the town of Fort Motte, Orangeburg county, last week, a negro man drew a pistol on two young white ladies as they were walking on a back street and attempted to shoot them. The pistol refused to fire, however, and the young women ran, with the negro after them. He pursued them only a short distance, and ran off into a corn field. He was soon captured and identified by the young ladies. A meeting of citizens was called, and, after discussing the matter, they decided to let the law take its course. The negro was sent to Orangeburg and put in jail. R. 'C. Brockington, the young bank clerk who skipped out from Columbia with over $2,000 belonging to the bank by whom he was employed, was arrested last Saturday in Jacksonville, Fla. All but $90 of the money was turned over by him to the officer who arrested him. He has been brought back home, but will not be tried, as the bank officers want to give him a chance to start life anew. He is now at his home in Winnsboro. The young fellow was very penitent when arrested and readily gave up the money and offered to come back without a requisition. In Marlboro county last week Mrs. Lucy Ann Patterson, wife of Dr. R. J. Patterson, was criminally assaulted by a negro. She was alone with her two children in the house at night when she heard some one breaking in. She ran out the back door and started to a neighbor's hocfee, but the negro ran after her and caught her about 150 yards from the house, where he choked her and committed the assault. The woman's brothers went to his house, but he escaped by taking a plank out of the floor. The next day he was caught in a small swamp in the community by the sheriff and a posse, and put in jail at Bennettsville. There will be no lynching, and a special term of court will be called at once to try the brute. He will be hanged in short order it is to be hoped. Tyner's Dyspepsia Remedy a Guaranteed Cure.

Chicago had her "Midway," St. Louis her "Pike," Portland her "Trail," and the Jamestown Exposition, which will be held on the shores of Hampton Roads near Norfolk, Va., in 1907, will have a "War Path." The scenic amusements have much to do with making an exposition attractive and after a long weary day of sight-seeing among the exhibit palaces it is a relief and a recreation to turn to the great white way where the lights glitter, the mountebanks and soubrettes rule their merry crews, where the joyous ballyhoo man bawls his incoher ent buncombe, where, in snort, tne mum-1 tude is at play. The great playground of I the Jamestown Exposition has been named "The War Path." General Fitzhugh Lee gave it that name and it is certain that the entertainment to be furnished by the concessions that line its dazzling streets will be sufficiently exciting to make the name appropriate. The War Path occupies a beautiful space fronting upon the military parade ground and is 1288 feet long by 730 feet in width. There are two parallel streets separated by a central block on both sides of which are concessions, thus making a total frontage of more than a mile including the bazaars at either end. The streets are eighty feet wide and paved with brick. An arcade covered by a glass dome which at night will be aflame with lights divides the central block into two equal parts and makes a convenient pas-' sage way between the streets. A miniature elevated railroad runs along three sides of the War Path affording rapid and cheap transportation as well as a charming and comprehensive view of the great city of mirth. The main entrance is flanked by the American and Oriental bazaars which op em upon a plaza 175 feet wide by 700 feet 1 in length on all sides of which will be L hanging gardens. There will be, of course, a scenic railway, a shoot the chutes and other familiar amusements, but for the most part the concessions will be new and many of them sensationaL Among the good things thus far secured are, "Pfcul Revere's Ride," "The Destruc? tion of San Francisco," "The Palace of [ History," "The Battle Between the Mon; itor and the Merrimac," 'The Hannted ' Castle"The Pyramids of Egypt," "The Swiss Village," "Tea Garden of Old Ja' pan." 5 There will be, also a number of unique ' musical attractions to vary the spectacular program and some panoramic concessions aim081 stupendous. The War Path ! will be at its best at night when the light 1 effects will make it a veritable dreamland . of brilliancy and beauty. "Meet me on the War Path" will be the slogan of all r exposition visitors in 1907. a ? ? Reception to Midshipman Copeiand. Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson Daniel Copeiand were the hosts last Monday evening at their home on Railroad Avenue to a large number of their friends. The occasion was in compliment to Midshipman 5 David Graham Copeiand, who is spend, ing the snort interim which comes between graduation from the United States ' Naval Academy and the entrance intc : regular service, here in Bamberg with his parents. ' The home with its naturally beautiful furnishings was made even more a place [ of delight for youth and maid to dwell in by the decorations of evergreen and vases of flowers fresh from the beautiful gar' den of the home. The colors of the United ~ ? ^1- iJ * States JNavy were neany m uviutsuuc. The guests as they arrived were met by Master Jefferson Riley, who was a( real little sailor in his uniform of white. He , was the pet of the evening. ' The suggestions derived from a penny T after hard study are varied. To interpret the signs of the coin, and to make them apply" to the questions set before each competitor, was the contest for the t guests. Misses Jennie Smith and May Zeigler each answered some eighteen out ' of twenty questions. . They cut for the ladies' prize, and Miss Smith was the win4 ner of a handsome cut glass vase. Messrs. ' James Aldrich Wyman and M. W. Brab' ham tied for the gentleman's prize, and , in cutting the latter was successful. - He ' received a silver match case, beautiful in ; design. \ , The dining room with its Tare decora| tions was then made the scene of feasting; the delicaces served were tempting and appeasiqg to the appetite.

THE ADAMS MURDER CASE. --'-J STATE SUPREME COURT WILL HEAR THE MATTER EN BANC All the Circuit Judges Qualified Called in to Pass on the Motion for a New Trial for R. A. Adams. ? >| The famous R. A. Adams murder case, of Colleton county, after a three-years' course in the courts, has resulted in the ordering together of the highest court that an American State may havo?the supreme court en banc. This order has been issued: The State of South Carolina: In the Supreme Court, April term, 1906, ninth circuit, Colleton county: The State vs. R. A. Adams. Tt 5c nrnnrpH that, the mp.mhers of the ' Supreme Court and all the judges of the Circuit Courts of this State, except such Circuit judges who tried the case, shall meet together in the city of Columbia in * the Supreme Court room to pass upon the questions involved in the motion for a , new trial the above stated case, on Friday, the 28th day of September, 1906, at 10 o'clock in the morning. Let the clerk of this court notify the parties to the suit and their attorneys of thisorder forthwith. v. U. R. Brooks, Y. J. POPE, Clerk. Chief Justice. Something over three years ago R. A. Adams shot and killed a man named Jacques in Colleton county. He was indicted for murder and on his trial was ' convicted, the strongest evidence against . 'p him being givep by a young woman who was his niece. He secured a new trial and this time the young woman testified in her un cle's favor, declaring she had tes- > M tified to the contrary before under duress. The case came up to the Supreme Court on points of law, and that tribunal being ?1 unable to agree, one of the justices, under ' & the right given him by the law in such cases provided, called for a sitting of the court en banc to hear the case. The ord- * er above quoted was the result - Sittings of the court en banc are novenr freouent. onlv four or five having >> been held since they were provided for in Jg the Constitution, adopted in 1895. The $3 tribunal is likely to consist of about elev- ym en judgefr^jthe four justices of the Sapreme Court and seven Circuit judges. Two of the Circuit judges are disqualified '/ 3 and another will probably have to be eliminated in order that the coort shall not consist of an even number. The M method of eliminating a Circuit judge in order to reduce the number to an odd one M is simple. Col. U. R. Brooks, the clerk, will put into a hat as many slips as there are Circuit judges available. On 411 but .' one will be marked the word "qualified," v the single exception, of course being marked "disqualified."

The Southern Cotton Association has i fixed ten cents as the minimum price i for middling cotton. This price represents the point below which the fanners * , cannot'raise cotton with a reasonable ! profit. L There is no reason why the present crop shonld bring less than ten cents per n/Min<3 Th*? nvArft(TA nlAnter does not [A/UUUi *MV _ justify the production of a crop beyond the actual necessities of the commercial , world, and if the farmers will market their cotton conservatively, the demand ! from the mills will bring the price to the minimum set by the association. As soon as the trade awakes from the . 1 hypnotic influence of the cotton gambler, who has been predicting a "bumper" ; crop, the prices will assume a higher level. Sell cotton only as an absolute neces, sity. Every bale held will mean money in the pockets of the farmers.
