MONEY KINGS AS JURORS. Panel Representing: $200,000,000 Picked by New York Sheriff. New York. Nov. 7.?A "two hundred million dollar panel of jury- & ^ men" was organized by Sheriff Har- ? burger, of New York county, to-day. i It is the annual custom of the sher- e iff's office to appoint millionaires to a r panel from which the sheriff picks a jury in minor cases in his jurisdic- ] f tion. These wealthy men accept no ] pay directly, but turn the fees into a s pool which is used for an annual din- 1 ner. f The sheriff's appointments this f n.AArorA WT ParVinc Wi 1 ? f *CO! 1UV1UUC UCVlgt M .

S Bond Issue Fails in Calhoun. d h St. Matthews, Nov. 6.?The county bond issue for an additional $20,000 E for court house and jail failed by a t i rather close vote. This has been a * great surprise to some, but not to g others. There were several reasons, ? but the underlying cause was a feel- E f ing over the county that St. Mat- t thpwa had nromised to construct ?t these buildings and she should live e up to her promise. The representatives in the senate c and house afre pledged to vote against j. bonding from that source. The new c ; county commission was strongly op- f posed to any amount under $50,000. c It will, therefore, be interesting to ^ watch developments along this line. r COLLECTED AN OLD RECEIPT. E __ E Orangeburg Negro Puts One Over on t Merchant for $49.55. r Orangeburg, Nov. 7.?A negro ^ ^ found himself in need of funds in s this city recently, and, try as he might, he could find no solution to a the problem until, reaching in his s pocket, he found a slip of paper t which slightly resembled a check. T He at once made up his mind that it was one that he had neglected to e get cashed, and, feeling joyful over s the thought that his personal treas- * i ury would soon be reinforced, he ^ started for a nearby store to secure *cash for it. But on the way he ex- c amined the document, and, to his t utter surprise and horror, he discovered it to be nothing more or less f than a receipt for the amount of $49.55 from a business firm jn the * city. Realizing his mistake, and de- * > termined to at least make a brave t effort at getting the coin, the negro decided to break the record and get c the receipt cashed. This he succeed- d 1 ed in doing without any trouble, and d the unfortunate merchant who cash- ^ ed the receipt did not discover his * loss until he attempted to deposit it * along with some checks in the hank, y and was informed that it was an ^ "uncollectable check." B># this time the "recordbreaker" had left for parts unknown, and has not been j % apprehended as yet. ^ x BANKER'S WIFE ARRESTED. 7" C Charged with Having "Operated a ^ Confidence Game." c I ? Chicago, Nov. 8.?Mrs. Margaret ? Kirbv, wife of the private banker _ o I whose business was taken over by a ^ receiver after he had been decided ^ mentally incompetent, was arrested j charged with having "operated a confidence game." The specific charge is that she had h knowledge of the insolvent condition s of her husband's bank and yet made v np effort to prevent depositors from c placing their money in Kirby's care, p The warrant was obtained by a law- s yer who had deposited $100 and lost ^ it. y OLD-TIME NAVAL VICTORY. Vnierican Gunners Have Always | S Been GihmI Marksmen. We hear a great deal about the superiority of the American naval i: gunners these days. Five bull's eyes C n a minute with a twelve-inch gun. n i 1,260 pound shell on a seven-mile n ange, are common. t It has always been so. And just v [00 years ago to-day?October 25, t L 812? occurred one of the most c striking illustrations in the nation's a listory of that superiority?the de- a eat of the British forty-nine gun c rigate Macedonian, by the American s ifty-four gun frigate United States, g t was, perhaps, the most memorable I laval battle of our most memorable a var. n The United States, comamnded by b Jtephep Decatur, of Tripoli fame, } vas cruising along the African coast a lear the Canary Islands. October f 15, 1812, was Sunday, and the crew vas preparing to muster for church ervices. "Sail ho!" came the lookout's cry ^ rom the cross-trees far aloft. s A few minutes later and the t ;tranger was made out as a British r rigate. The long, sonorous roll of t he drummer's church call broke into r he sharp pitched beat of arms. De- f atur put about and warily approach- t id his rival. Captain Carden, of the Macedoni- j n, mistook the United States for the Cssex, an inferior ship. Eight men of ^ lis crew were impressed American E eamen. They asked to be excused rom fighting their countrymen. He v avagely ordered chem back to their v ;un stations The Americans went into the fight Onfident of victory. Jack Creamer, l young cabin boy, went to Captain t )ecatur and asked to have his name a nscribed on the muster roll before t he battle. a "Why?" asked the captain. "So I can draw my share of the } irize money, sir," the boy replied. Captain Carden planned ine eu;agement for the Essex. He opened n ire at long range, a mile in those G iays. His shot fell short and De- a atur turned loose a broadside froifi a Lis heavy guns. A dozen or more j olid 'shot crashed into the Mace- 1 Ionian, a forceful tip to Carden of h lis mistake. t< First the Macedonian's mizzen d aast went by the board, then fore- i< op and main top rattled to the deck, ii he falling debris burying a whole G un's crew. 1< The United States was enveloped t q smoke from its own guns. A con- e inual stream of flame came from s he gun ports. Carden thought his G nemy was afire. x a Seeing the enemy disabled, De- h atur drew out of range for repairs, y le took no chances of having a d ouple of British seventy-four-gun u rigates finding him crippled. Hope h ame to the British. A report spread hat an English sail had appeared. b About noon that hope was dis- v >elled. Decatur came back and ma- t Leuvered across the Macedonian's s iow preparatory to a broadside and I liagonal fire that would sweep every t liece of gear from the Englishman's a leek. Carden saw his plight and truck his colors. a Jn the afternoon Decatur went 3 board to look at his prize. The r anDalled even his eye accus- ii omed to carnage and blood. He f t*rote in his report to congress: J "Fragments of dead were scatter- c d in every direction. The decks were v lippery with blood and the cry of p he wounded was one agonizing yell, a i scene so horrible, of my fellow e reatures, I assure you, deprived me t if very much of the pleasure of vie- t ory." i When Captain Carden formally of- li ered his sword, Decatur declined it. e "No sir," he said, "I cannot receive b hes word of a man who has so ^ travely defended his ship. But I will C ake your hand." a Two of the eight impressed Ameri- b ans were part of the 104 dead and f [ying men on the decks of the Mace- d Ionian. Some had been thrown over?oard to stop their suffering. On the Jnited States only 12 men had been ouched and more than half of those n vere only slightly injured.?Kansas * lity Times. *] m c "UNCLE JOE" DEFEATED. c F )emocratic Opponent Wins Out by c 611 Plurality.
