How State Grows. ? v a Washington, Feb. 141?An lmpor| tant statement was issued here to- ^ day by the census bureau which shows how the State of South Carolina is growing. The population of the State on July 1, 1915, was 1,- ^ 01,745; on January 1, 1916, it was h 1,616,610, and, estimated July 1, r 1916, it will be 1,625,475. . .* ?- V - At Warren Refuses Judgeship. 1 / ' a ' Columbia, Feb. 15.?Representa- r tive George Warren, of Hampton, no- 11 r titled the senate and house tonight E that he could not serve as judge of E the new 14th circuit, to which office ^ he was today elected. He expressed a his appreciation of thp honor, but e stated he could not accept the position. Justice. f -J t f Why doesn't some member of the j assembly introduce a bill providing compensation and damages for per- ^ sons unjustly accused and unjustly t imprisoned? Surely there is need of t i that sort of justice in this country. Justice does not often miscarry. ^ > But there are cases on record where IT men have been sent to the peniten- t tiary for a term of years and later, . where their innocence was establishe ed beyond doubt, liberated without so ? much as an apology from the State. In Greenville not long ago a man ^ was arrested and confined in jail for a number of days. He had no rich friends to provide bond. He was in, nocent of any wrong doing, but when v f he was liberated no form of compen- f sation was offered him. I j That sort of thing isn't right. Itj * is a hideous travesty on justice. i When a man is unjustly imprison-1 ed even for a number of days, a jury! should decide to what damages he is t s entitled and the State should pay as j r promptly as it arrests. j * Our present method is crude, vi-i r cious and tyrannical. Some legisla- j E tor may do real service by providing 1 * a remedy.?Fountain Inn Tribune, j s Isle of Man suffers severe depres sion because of stoppage of tourist i traffic.

Columbia, Feb. 12.?The chain ,rang bill, fathered by Mr. Liles, has! >een ordered ratified. In the senate he provision, including the storing ind transporting of liquor as a chain rana offence was stricken out. The louse today adopted the senate imendment, and the Liles bill, thereore, provides that anyone convicted if selling liquor must be sentenced to he chain gang. The punishment lor he storing and transporting of iquor, under the prohibition law, renains as heretofore and is not coverid by the Liles bill. The house today devoted itself enirely to the consideration of third eading bills, and under this heading lisposed of a number of important neasures, among them beings the ^adgett-Carter liability bill. On yesterday there was general Lgreement that punitive damages vould not be included in the matter if damages against railroads to their imployees. Mr. Boyd, as chairman if the judiciary committee, offered m amendment to insert the word 'actual" before damages, This was roted down and the clause which pro' J 3 -C?? >N?/vwMrvlo*iTr rl o m n n-nc TITO C 1G6U iur CACiH^iai j uaiuagco n uu itricken out. It was on this that the ight revolved today, and Mr. Searson :leared the situation by having an imendment adopted which reads: 'Punitive damages shall not be referable in cases arising under this ict." The argument on this question vas largely between Messrs. GrayIon, Boyd, Searson, Carter, LaGrone ind Barr. Wanted It Recommitted. Messrs. LaGrone and Barr wanted he bill* recommitted, because they lid not think it perfectly clear. Mr. Boyd made an excellent argument to how that the word "damages" without any further explanation as was ntended by modifying it with the vord "actual" was liable to various onstructions. He read from the deisions of the State supreme court to how that the word "damages" had teen variously construed in varipus uits, and that if the purposes of the ' iill are not to include punitive dam,ges it should say so. Mr. Searson thought that in fair tess to all that the bill should be made perfectly clear and secured the >assage of the amendment. Messrs. Graydon and Carter, who lave chaperoned the bill through the touse, thought that the motion to ecommit was simply an effort to kill heir bill.. They were quite willing o have the Searson amendment .dopted, but did not want the bill ecommitted. The motion to recomnit was withdrawn, and by/ unaninous consent the Searson amendaent specifically preventing punitive lamages was incorporated in the bill, nd in this shape it was finally passd by the house.

Chautauqua attraction, March 1, 2, J art, the talented Canadian Impew<maior and DIXIE. The Ilest Fighting Tune in the World. Even if we were not predisposed to believe what Bugler Foriar says in any case, we should have to believe trie Lincoln anecaote witn wmcn ne seasoned the dinner of the fifteen Duryea Zouaves still able to answer the roll call. This anecdote tastes too strongly of the peculiar flavor of Father Abraham's personality to be open to question. Here it is in the bugler's best style: "It was at the last speech of the great emancipator, made the day before he was shot. When he was through speaking he said he thought some music would not be out of place, and asked the crowd what they wanted. 'Dixie!' was the answer. The president hesitated, conferred with a friend for a minute, then said: "Well, we've captured the tune?I guess it's ours.' And the band played 'Dixie.' " Precious little pedantry in that man's soul! But for once he was wrong. We never captured "Dixie." From the very first we gave ground before it until by degrees it has marched to the Canadian border and captured us, practically all of us, and enslaved us beyond even the power of a great emancipator to set us free. And we may thank heaven for our slavery, since it is something gained toward preparedness to possess the best fighting tune in the world.?New York Tribune. Lo's Business System. Old settlers will tell you that the Indians broke the first ground for wheat growing purposes in the spring of 1881. The Indians got their first ideas of settling on land and establishing permanent homes from association with the cowboys. Members of the tribe, including Pocatello Tom, China Eye and Big Lipped Pete, broke some ground and seeded a few acres of wheat. When the wheat was harvested and "threshed" in primitive Indian fashion the growers began to market the grain. The native wheat king would deliver wheat to Americafc Falls, or elsewhere in the vicinity, for 50 cents a bushel. If the customer went after the grain the price was $1 a bushel. When questioned as to the meaning of their singular business methods the Indians would invariably reply: "You come to my wickiup, you heap want 'um. Me come to your wickiup, maybe so you don't want 'um at all!"?Farming Business. . At the Prize Fight. Andrew Carnegie said at a luncheon in New York recently: "To the Martian or any other higher intelligence this world war, which every belligerent entered with a declaration that he did not want to fight, but was forced to?this world war would seem to a higher intelligence, I repeat, as unreasonable as the prize fight seemed to the old lady. "An old lady said on her return from the city: " 'My rich son-in-law took me to a prize fight one evening. I never saw such a thing. The two men came out on the stage and shook hands like the best of friends. Then they began to punch each other, and all for nothing. They kept cn punching away till a man in the corner yelled, "Time!" Nobody answered him, so I pulled out my watch and shouted, "Ten o'clock.' " The Horror. "We had an Uncle Tom's Cabin company at the op'ry house night before last." "Ah!" returned the fectious drummer, "did the venerable drama seem to depict the horrors of slavery as vividly as it used to?" "Well, it depicted the horrors of Uncle Tom's Cabin as vividly as ever."
