When the appropriation bill wa
again taken up in the evening tin
section relating to Winthrop Col leg
was the Hrsfc Lo be discussed. Mr
Etird wanted Lo cut the proposed Win
th rep appropriation from $52.000 t
$45,000. Mr. DeP.ruhl wanted to mak
it $48,000. Mr. Laney thought i
futile to discuss such appropriation
after thc ways and means comm ?tte
had so carefully gone into fche que.*
tien, lt would cripple the college ail'
do little good to thc State treasury.
Mr. Holman opposed thc hill. Il
did not believe, in letting t bc way
and means committee make all tb
laws.
Mr. McCain, of York, declared tba
Winthrop has been getting no mor
than she needs. They actually neci
$7,000 more titan the ways and mean
committee had recoin mend cd. II
charged Mr. Etird with being ail ene
my to Winthrop.
Mr. EH rd hurled hack the insinua
tion. lie was not an enemy to Win
throp, but a friend of the 52,00
white girls in thc common schools.
Mr. Karron, of York, declared tba
the trustees, honorable and capabl
men, have made their recoil)menda
tion, and they ought to know mon; o
Winthrop's needs than Mr. Flin
knows.
Mr. Cooper last year had oppose?
making Winthrop's appropriation $ii0,
000 and had succeeded in getting i
out down to $52,000. He though
further reduction would cripple tin
college.
Mr. Kennett, of CollcLon, t hough
thc pruning knife should bc put in
hut it should be done all along tin
line. As thc South Carolina College
appropriation had not been curtailed
he opposed starting in on Winthrop
Ile urged that bc was not inconsistent
in defending Winthrop.
Mr. Pollock moved tj indefinitely
postpone Slr. Eli rd's amendment.
This was carried by a vole bf i>4 to 43
Mr. Lido oiTcrcd an amendment that
the scholarships he paid out of Hu
regular appropriation. Thc hill rc
commended that 85,450 be added foi
these scholarships. Mr. Ilcamguiih
moved to table the amendment. Tin
house hy a vote of 50 to 51 refused t<
table the amendment.
Mr. McCain and Mr. Pollock thcl
appealed for thc amendment to he rc
jected. To cut $5,450 for scholarship.'
would be a serious blow tb thc college
Mr Mosses showed thal this would Ix
giving Winthrop $14,000 less thai
she asked for.
Mr. Dowling declared that Hu
house had passed Hie scholarship bil
with thc understanding that Hie ap
propriafcion for scholarships wonk
come out of Hie general fund.
Mr. D. ?. Herbert openly attacket
the college. His not thc only girl'!
college in thc State. This cut in th?
appropriation would not seriously erip
plc thc college. There are a nu in bc
of schools in this State doing splcndh
work for the education bf women am
they would be glad to get one-third o
this appropriation.
Mr. Sarratt, of Cherokee, spoke car
nestly for Winthrop. South Carolin!
College had paid for itself in givlhj
Wade Hampton Lo Sou tb Carolina
Mr. Sarratt isa graduate ol' clemson
Mr. Sinkler, formerly a trustee, de
dared this amendment Lo be a Trojai
horse. Thc expert test imony of Lil
trustees is worth more than thc gen
eral opinion of thc outsiders.
Mr. Lido defended bis a mend men I
He ls no enemy Lo Wi th ru p. The Inri
tees of these colleges always ask fo
more than they expect to get.
Thc vote on Hie adoption of lb
amendment was then taken, resultiii
in its favor 57 Lo 50.

Mr. Holman wanted to cut the ap
propriation for the negro Slate college
to $2,500. The appropriation last
year was $8,000, the committee rc
commended $5,000 this year.
Mr. D. O. Herbert of Orangebur?:
said lie would not attack tills college
but bc called attention to the fad
that this institution spends mon
money than the South Carolina col
lege. lt gets enough from thc Ilatcl
and Morrill funds to ruo the appro
priations up to $2!i,000. Ile inti matee
that there are conditions there wlilcl
need correction.
Mr. Moss also ol' Orangeburg be
lie ved that $2,500 is all that the;

ample funds to run on. lt m I Kilt in

Mr. Mauldin ol' Greenville declare'
that for years be bad been in favorc

of citizenship in return for bis fal til

Mr. Dorroh declared his opposlti
to giving appropriations lo State c
leges and particularly tu Tom Milli
the most vindictive enemy the win
men had in 1S70.
Mr. Lide protested against any ii
pression that the trustees are i:
careful men, and honorable men.
Mr- Moss declared that seven a
i angels could he deceived in a ease
this kind.
I Mr. Herbert: I think they ask
for just exactly what Miller said
needed -and Miller is just sm;
enough to pull the wool over the oj
of a good many ol' us. Mr. Herb?
agreed that these trustees were hom
able men.
Mr. Tat um declared that the i
groes pay at least $.'10,000 ol' the pri
lego lax and they are entitled lo soi
consideration. . Five thousand woi
be a mere pittance. The white pi
pie of Orangeburg are able to la
care ol' themselves. They can ni;
age the negroes and there is no di

Miller a friend of bis, but he thong
it simple justice to g? ,'e these negri

Tl) OUT Tl I IO I'KN'SION KUND.
Mr. Towill wanted lo reduce t
pension appropriation from $2ou,(
$15'.),ooo. Ile spoke eloquently of t
valor ol' the Confederate soldiers, a
feelingly ol' their stringent circu
stances, lint the pension appropr
lion tails to remedy their su ll eli i
ami t here is need ut' economy.
Mr. Thomas believed that il' t
pension rolls are properly ivvisi
* 150,000 would go as far as $200.c
with loose regulations. This is a bu
ness proposition against asentimcn
policy. Ile declared further thal, Hu
is now a statute requiring com
commissioners to give financial assi
ince to needy soldiers.
Capt. Itrooks wanted.to know If t
law requires or empowers t he comm
deners lo give aid.
Mr. Thomas insisted that no co
missioner who is a true Carolin]
would turn a deaf ear.
Mr. Toole called attention lo ?
Thomas' vole in favor of liberal ;
propitiations to all Stale colleges a
Ids opposit ion to this charitable p
pose. Ile spurned that,syinpat
which would eulogize the (Jonloder;
soldier and then lake away a pail

Tiley exercise some judgment.
Mr. Dorroh declared this discuss

( ii ni federal c veterans in Greenville I
commended him fur lighting the
last year. Mr. Horrell made a v
forcible speech in fa vor of the ame
ment.
Mr. Cooper favored giving 200,
dollars, .lio"wanted to Bee thom (jet
at least n decent appropriation. Ho
docs net believe the old Roldlora on tho
pension boards would connive at
fraud, J*-*
OOM, .Tamofi told how Capt, Iirook?
had brought Into thc houim two yoara
ugo a bill to mnko tho appropriation :
I.10,000 dollars. Tho young men had
takon the matter Into their hands and
had made it 200,000 dollars. Unfortu
nately tt did not go into effect until
last year on account of a defect In Mis
appropriation act. He believes the
peoplo'of South Carolina want lt lo
stay at 200,000 dollars. He paid a Hue
I ri bu tu to thc Confederate soldier.
Mr. Trlbble, of Anderson, and Air.
Mauldih, of Greenville, opposed the
amendineut. Mr. Trtbble spoke from
thc depths or his heart. Me paid a
glowing tribute to the Confed?rale
soldier and Insisted that those who do
not favor large appropriations do not
know of the hardships of the Confed
erates. The poorer people went ?iit
at the tirst will, and they responded
through patriotism. There is no re
cruiting of their shattered ranks.
They will not be here long, and take
care of them while t hey are here. Ile
had introduced a separate bill which
would remedy defects in the pension
law.
The house by a vote ol 00 to 10 re
jected Mr. TowiH's amendment. The.
ten were Messrs. Hunch, Dor roll, IOU rd,
.larnegan, Ivibler, Stackhouse, Towlll,
Traylor, Williams and Wingan!.
THU STATK KA I it;
There was some objection to ad
vancing thc Stale fair association
2,r>00 dollars with which to pay pre
miums, but this amount was appro
priated. (lt is appropriated somewhat
as a loan every year, and is always re
paid by thc association-)
It was getting past the hour for
taking recess and the members were
getting restive, but Speaker Smith,
seeing that the reading of the entire
bill could be perfected in a very few
minutes, held the house down and thc
bill was li nish ed and ordered to third

have been dilatory work.

Tho Fowler Currency Bill?
During the recent campaign Bepuh
llcnn organs and orators persistently
donlcd that there was atty serious in? i
tcntlon of nuRSlng the Fowler bbl. In
spite or thn ract' tbnt tho lawlor hill
was roportotl In tho 'ftraf SOBSIOH of tho
present congress by tho Ropublloan
majority of tho house committee, Rei
publican newspapers and In sumo In.
stances Be pu bl lean congressmen who
were candia *?* for re-election, nss?fi
cd the pc ^ hat the fowler bill was
dead beyond nil hope tif resurrection,
and that Democrats whit referred to
that measure wore merely employing
it as ?i scarecrow. Notw: hstandinu
these denials the Fowler bill is how
hiing pushed through Congress.
*'lt is true," as I'be Commoner says,
"there is a diil'erenoe between thc
Fowler bill as reported at the last ses
sion and the,Fowler hill that is now
being pushed In tho present session.
Thc change in the details or tl c
measure docs not Imply any surrender
on tile part of the money trust. The
change has been madcrln response to
thc piotcst on thc part of Republican
members that they dare not enact a
law containing all the Ill-advised pre
visions contained in thc Fowler bi 1.
The money br?st, while not making
any surrender as to any of thc so-call
ed ?reforms' which they hope to bring
about, have yielded to thevprotesls of
the Republican congressmen to thc
extent that they are willing to de
mand at this time the adoption Of one
of bite iniquitous features of thc Fow
ler bill, bidding other features in
abeyance.
"Thc old Fowler bill authorized thc
establishment of branch banks and
provided also for the m?rement of thc
grchbaeks, together with other pro
visions contemplated by the policy
adopted by tf.c so-called Indianapolis |
monetary conference. Republican
congressman pointed out to the back
el's of this measure that the lime was
not yet ripe for thc retirement bribe
greenbacks; bbb people were somewhat
partial to the greenbacks and lt would
not "oe "good polities" to insist upon
their retirement at this time. With
respect to tho branch bank feature,
the smaller bankers throughout the
country made such a vigorous pro
test against this plan that Mr. Fow
ler and his associates thought it in
advisable to undertake tit this mo
ment to push throng a measure pro
viding for thc branch banks. Hu I One
of the most important, if not the
most important, features of thc old
Fowler bill relates to asset currency,
and thc so-called new Fowler bill as it
was reported to the house by the Re
publican majority of the committee
on banking and currency (?ii January
Kt. WW), provides for the assett cur
rency.

Into tho Kqtnbrc, prosaic routine ol
legal business in the United States
district cou rb at Itoniokc, Va., Friday
jinn ul hg crept as pretty a blt ol' ro
mance ns was ever discovered outside
tlic piltres of a modern Twentieth
century novel. The old saying, that
'Tact is stranger than tlction,''.. w?:s
demonstrated in the most remarkable
manner possible, and yet there were
row in the crowded eourt room who
realized, outside ol' a lew olllcials; that
the love of a woman Tor a man had
tempered the hand of justice in one
particular case, and that there had
been disclosed a tender story of devo
tion and self-sacri lice that has few
parallels in the history Ot. grim court
procedure.
Arraigned before thc har, were two
prisoners charged with a common of
fense against the United States reve
nue laws, viz., retaining moonshine
whiskey without a license. Their
names were respectively .John I), and
M. M. Gaultley. They were arrested
on a joint warrant served on them in
thc mountains of Tazewell county.
(Ju being arraigned in court they
were thc cynosure of all eyes, so great
was tho contrast in their physical ap
pearance, .lohn I). Gaultley, the tall
er of the two, is a man of line propor
tions, a typical nighed mountaineer,
standing six feet five, weighing 28;"?
pounds, and clad in the picturesque
rough dress suggestive of the soil it
self. His massive throat was guilt
less of a collar save one formed by the
thicK woolen shirt he wore, and from
his heavy, mud-bespattered boots to
his ruddy looking face, he was a uni
que ligure. Hy his side, stood a
smaller ligure, as straight as a shingle,
but so much more diminutive in fact,
as to arouse thc immediate interest of
all present. This was M. M. Gabltlcy,
presumably a brother ol' the man who
towered nearby.
Thc younger prisoner was dressed in
thc same rough garb as the man above
described, even to the coarse woolen
shirt, big-legged trousers and red
lopped hoots. Met there was some
thing in the bealing of the younger
of the two-perhaps lt was the frail
ness of the ligure, or perhaps it may
have been the plaintive, frightened
look tu ? neil towards thc be go wu ed
judge-that riveted thc attention ol
all present on the smaller prisoner
apparently aboutlive feet three inches
and weighing 12."i pounds. Holli pri
soners, at the instigation of counsel,
pleaded guilty ti) the charge against
them, .lodge Henry Clay McDowell;
in measured tones sentenced the larger
of the two, John !>., to serve six
months in jail, and pay a line of $100.
A look of sympathy Hashed fruin the
younger prisoner, whose black eyes
and comely face still held the atten
tion of all. Something in tlic manner
of the latter had aroused the sympa
thy of the prosecuting attorneys,who,
amid a breathless silence, turned to
the grave judge anti asked that a nolle
prossc he entered against the smaller
prisoner, on account of apparent
youl h fulness. The judge assented.and
after giving the prisoner a severe lec
ture, ordered that the papers for a
Cor.na I dismissal be prepared. The
prisoner turned lo the judge, anti in a
pleading manner, asked to he allowed
lo serve a portion of "Brother John's'*
sentence. This, the judge denied, and
ordered thc prisoner removed. The
prisoner again begged the court to be
allowed to gt) to jail with "Brother
.lohn," and again the judge refused.
On hoing taken lo their cells, the
('ault leys were visited by the jailer,
his intention being to release the
smaller prisoner on an order from the
court. Something in the behavior of
M. M. Gaultley; however, aroused the
suspicion of the wise keeper td' the
baslile, and Hie awkward manner in
which some of the garments were ar
ranged, as well as a feminine air,
caused 'thc jailer lo put forth some in
fluirles. So suspicious had the jailer
grown that he ordered an investiga
tion, which quickly revealed the fact
that M. M. Gaultley was a fully devel
oped woman. Then it was that the
young moonshiner stated that she. was
the sister of .lohn IJ. ('.aultley. After
further questioning, however, she
broke down, and amid womanish tears
idle told her story-that she was the
big luau's wife, and not his sister
collainly not his brother, as the reve
nue oihcers hat! supposed; of how she
hat!, more than a year ago, adopled
male attire, so as to be able to assist
her husband in his work; ol' t ho war
rant being sworn on them, when her
husband alone was guilty of t hc crime.
Asked why she had sought punish
ment when sin; had been exonerated
hy the court, the wt man declared her
Dilly object was lo be by her husband's
??ide, and lo work out willi him, the
?lenience imposed by the court.
The Gaulllcys moved to Tazewell
rouniy, this Slate, from Alleghany
county, X. G., a year ago, and have
passed as brothers ever since coming
io Virginia. Mrs. ("aultley was re
leased,and will bli furnished with pet
ticoats before leaving for her moun
tain home. Thc ease will no doubt,
