JDEf STOOD MSE10 TRHEE
A large number of our citizens
have just returned from Florida
where they have been attending the
second trial of T. S. Glover for the
murder of Edwin S. Rawl. It will
be recalled 'hat Mr. Kiwi was shot
at a lumber camp known as Alco
about one year ago; and from the
statement of the only eye witness,
Allen Perry, a South Carolina boy,
the killing was without legal justification.
However, theie was another
mistrial in the case, the j. :y st nding
nine to thret, so we are inrorm
ed by those preser\ inrterd of eleven
to one as formerly published.
The friends and relatives of Mr.
Rawl, who have been to Florida or
this case, say that numerous unfounded
reports have been circulated
throughout the county in which
the trials were had derogatory to
the deceased and fa- arable to tr.?
defendant. so; uis 1 a*.
so persistency d. ' C (jat although
both the deitnd^n': an i the deceased
were eitie strangers in that
county, a numhe; of jurors disqualified
themselves to serve an the
case by stating on examination that
they had foirr.ed and expressed opinions
relative to 'he and
some went so fa: ?s to say that they
bad been introduced to die dcfeiidant
since they became jurors. This
state of affairs, it is presumed,
prompted the presiding judge to
deliver the jury, when about to discharge
them, an excellent talk or
the subject of jury duty urging them
as good citizens to discountenance
any and every effort to influence 01
tamper with jurors in the discharge
of their duties. This action on the
part of the judge was very gratify
ing to the members of the Raw
family, who are anxious that thi:
case should be tried before an im
partial jury.

In the past ii has been the

Pfl'MDERr TAl'T TO APPOINT
NEGROES TO OrriCE IN THE
NORTH; INSTEAD Gr IN THE
SOOTH, ACCORDING TO
POLITICAL GO: SI?
IN WASHINGTON.
Washington, Dec. 8.?That President
Taft is going to agp >int Northern
negroes to office rather thun
Southern ones is the information
which has been pretty thoroughly
dif cussed among the politicians of
Washington ai d elsewhere since
Booker Washington was here last
week. As the result of this policyit
is expected that the regroes in
the South who are holding important
offices will, as heir utrrs expire,
be displaced for the most part
by whites, and in turn recognition
will be given to colored men in the
North. The list of coiorcd men
holding important officta in the
South under the Federal Government
includes the following:
Robert Smalls, collector of cus-,
toms at Beaufort, S. C.; Henry A.
Rucker, collector of internal revenue
at A liar ta, Ga; Joseph Lee, collector
of in .ernal revenue at Jacksonville,
Flu.; Nathan H. Alexander,
register of the land office at MontAla;
Thomas V. MuAUiatci
receivei of public moneys at Jackson,
Miss: Walter L. Cohn, register
of the land office at New Orleans,
Alexander B. Kennedy, receiver 01
public moneys at New Orleans; John
i?. Bush, receiver of public money
at Little Rock.
The c jurse the President will taki
in 'he n ntter of appointing colorec
men is 1 kely to be illustrated in th<
sel vtion of a successor to W. '1
Vernon register of the treasury'
Boo 'erT. Washington and cth< r
colored leaders have given their sup
port to J. C. Napier of Nashville,
but it appears that the Presidem
will probably select p colored mar
from the North.
Washington was in this city a few
days ago, and it is said that he protested
when he learned that neither
Vernon nor Ralph Tyler, the latter
as auditor for the navy department,
were to be ousted. Neither of these
pull with Washington.

LETTER FROM
MR. GIbBS
WHAT HE SATS ABOUT THE R<>AD
FBOM LEXISGTOH TO LEE8TILIE
The Kexington Dispatch has received
the following letter from Mr.
A. M. Gibbs,proprietor of the Gibbs
Machinery Company, of Columbii,
which will be read with interest by
mono ? w 1
u?ujr vi uui people:
"We have noted your edit ria
reference of the 24th to the r< ed-; '
between Lexington and LeesNillt,
and wish to advise that we broui ht
two cars through the country fi^m
Atlanta to Columbia at the close or
the automobile show in Atlanta.
"We agree entirely with Mr. Harth
that the only difficult portion of the
road is between Lexington and Leetville,
and that is unquestionably-bad
"We are certainly glad to know
that Supervisor Langford intends
putting this piece of road in fir? c
class condition, rnd all of the i-se.s
of the roads in your county ate
grateful to you for keeping the matter
before the public.
"In addition to this, the "Ilugaboc'
swamp road needs and should ha\ e
attention and could be pylipyery
good condition at Uttjfor no cosr.
As it is, it is full of deep holes f r
about a mile or so. The rot d fctc\
though, is hard and, as stated, can
readily be repaired and put in ve y
satisfactory shape.
Yours truly,
"A. M. Gibbs."
