for sentence by .Judgo Dixon. McAllister,
Caropboll and Death wcro caoh
t-ODtcnocd to 80 years imprisonment at
hard labor and Kerr to 1C> years imnris
oumcnt at hard labor. Tho sentences
of all tho men aro tho full terms of imprisonment
which tho law provides,
but iu tho oaee of Kerr a fine of $1,000
might have bocn added.
Tho oourt houso was crowded. In
tho court room wrro tho fathor, atop
mother and sister of Joonio Bossohictor.
Counsel for all tho defendants
pleaded for olcmcnoy. McAllister and
Campbell looked extremoly pale and
Death had tho appearance of suffering
greatly under tho straiu.
Judgo Dixon addressing tho prisoners
said: "You stand convicted of murder
in tho scoond degreo. Had you boon
found guilty of murder in tho first dogreo
tho punishment woul I havo been
death, but tho leniency of tho jury iu
tho oTcroiso of their lawful authority
saved you from tho gallows. Wo must
administer laws as they aro. It is true
_ these sentences will destroy yonr livos
gblitcring every prospect of an honor
able existence among tho peoplo. The
court cannot ninko any distinctions but
must Ecntenoo you for thin orirao*,
"I trust t)io fearful oonscquenocs
from oriuio will help young men and
young women of this oominunity and
point out to them that thoy cannot
hope to scourc happiness outsido of
virtue and honor. The sentoncc of the
oourt is that each of you bo imprisoned
m the State prison at Trenton at bard
labor for a term of HO years."
George J. Kerr was then called to tho
bar, and by bis attornoy entered a p!oa
of uou vult contendere to tho ohargo of

You were oldor and had moro obligations

and now you tttaud horo a wreck of

would I spare your rolativos, but in

of tho law re quins. Thescnte nceof tho
court is that you be imprisoned in tho
State prison for a torm of 15 years at
hard labor."
McAllister, Campbell and Death and
Kcir made a statement to tho publio
this afternoon- It says:
"Wo arc rnfiiffTlftft If* f*nr ftitn nnA

"Wo hnvo no criticism to mako, but

"Wo could say many things that

"Wo proposo to earn tho throo days

"Wo aro oontent to suffer oursolvcs

on a tour of destruction through Harper j

Mrs Shoiiff, who had Wednesday's

heir attacks shortly after daybroak,
taking tho saloon keepers and tho town
olhoials by surpriso.
A drug store was tho first point attacked,
but though, demolishing oostly
bar fixtures and a register, thoy wcro

Tho next pace, half a block awav,

of liquor emptied.
Tho woman then knelt and prayod.
Thoy asked tho Almighty to guido
them to other dents of iniquity and direct
their fooUtcps to other rum-oursod

Immediately warning was hurriedly
telephoned to adjacent towns by local

Glad of It.
Tho Columbia Record says tho colInpso
of tho Vosta mills' oxperimont
with nogro labor in Charleston is grootod
with joy by factory operatives and
newspapers throughout tho stato. Had
it suococded, tho employment of overy
whito opcrativo inthobtato would havo
been endangered, for tho cheaper prioo
of nogro labor would havo appealed
powerfully to factory mauagcrs.
Recent exporiuents show that all
olassos of foods may bo completely digested
by a preparation oallcd Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure, which absolutely digests
what you <at. As it is tho only
combination of all tho natural digestants
ever devised the demand for it

CONWAY
PASSED THE HOUSE.
Exposition Bill Agreed to by a
Larga Maj -?rity.
THE VOTE WAS FOUR TO ONE
And Amendments Attempting to
Cut Down the Proposed
Appropriation Were
Voted Dc wn.
Tbo bill whioh passod tho Senate last
week to appropriate $50,000 for a
State building at the Charleston exposition
passed tho llouao on Tuosday of
last week by a voto of 02 to 23. This
is tho badio proportion in which it
passed the Sonato 4 to 1.
Whon tho exposition bill oamo up
Mr. Haoot offorod tho sonato bill as a
substitute for tho houso bill. This was
agrocd to, as tho wording of tho two
almost identical and time oould bo
savod by adopting the sonato bill, whioh
had already passed tl o sona'o.
Mr. Hailo of York offered an amend
mr n I f n po/1 nert l*n r.?Ai?An?\/l *
uut u v VV? I VUUUU VIIU J'l Vl'U"UU ' J ? I U $ .? 1 J ' |
tion from $50,000 to $35,000.
Mr. Baoot oaid tho ways and moans
oommittoo had unanimously passed
upon $50,000 as bniDg necessary. Tho
building itsolf will oost $27,000. This
building is to boar tho natno and to bo
tho property of tho Htato. It may bo
that this $27,000 amount must bo supplemented
by tho exposition itsolf in
order to erect a building along tho
handsome dosigns furnished. Kaob of
tho 10 oountios in tho Stato is to be
enoouracd to havo an exhibit, and
$10,000 will be noeded for this purposo.
Clcmson's splondid exhibit will cost
$3,000 to oollcot and to givo transporta
tionMr.
Hanks?Will this inoroaso tho
tax levy?
Mr. Hacot? 1 aru glad you asked tho
question.
Ho then road a statement from Mr.
T. B. Clyburn, chiof clerk of tho
comptroller general's cflioe, saying:
"Tho appropriation of $50,000 provided
for in the bill in aid of tho South Car
olinn Interstate and West Indian ex
position to bo held in tho city of Charleston,
will not in any way inorcaso tho
tax levy for 8tato purposes."
Mr. Hailo's amendment was then rojcoted.
Mr. do Loich of York moved to
striko out tho onaoling words of tho
bill.
Mr. Croft of Aikon was tho first to
apeak upon tho bill. Ho argued first
tho lawful authority of tho State to
uiako tho appropriation, and cited the
constitution to sustain his position.
Wo havo precedents for this appropriation.
Tho oentonnial exposition at
Philadelphia was graoed by an exhibit
showing tho wonderful rosonroes of
3outh Carolina, her phosphato rock,
her mauufaoturing enterprises, oto.,
and thero is ho doubt muoh Rood resulted
from that. Charleston's oity
oouncil has givon as muoh as tho Htato
is asked for, and hor citirons havo subscribed
$200,000 moro. Would it bo
right for that oity to erect a building
and to furnish tho exhibit for tho en
tiro Htato?
Mr. Harvey Wilson of Sumter, as
ohairman of tho ways and moans committeo,
statod that in the judgmont of
tho oommittoo that was tho very loast
amount with whioh tho exposition
oould got along.
Mr. J. C. Kobortson of Columbia, in
bohalf of tho Hiohland dologation
favorod tho bill. Thoro aro some poo
nlo. ho said, whn nevnf had ?Anoliin.
tional bairiors when such objoetirns
affoot mattors whioh thoy favor. Ho
thought that tho Btato ought to bo
willing to givo this pitiful liulo sum of
150,000 to holp Charleston, for eho
needs help more than any other part of
the Btato.
Mr. Morrison of I'airfiold, doolarod
himself against tho bill. It is a dangerous
thing for ono intorcat to over
shadow all o'.hors in a Btato. Two 1iun
dred years ago thoology impregnated
tho governmont of Scotland, and
wrought that government's downfall.
Militarism was uppermost in Franco
until that govornmont fell. Commercial
interests are boiug put abovo
everything clso in this country, and
unless thero bo a halt tho nation will
fail. Ho intimatod that cotnmoroial interests
would kill tho ohild laoor bill.
Mr. Tatumof Orangeburg', did not
beiicvo in shutting the doors in the
faoo of tho metropolis of tho Btato, but
ho did not approve of tho last ecotion
of tho bill whioh provides that tho
buildings at the close of the opposition
be turned ovor to tho Btato Agrioul
tural and Moohanioal society to bo romoved
from tho grounds within thrco
months. Ho would at tho propor timo
offer an amondmont to' allow tho sink
ing fund commit sion to sell tho build
ings and turn tho money ovor to tho
Btato.
Mr. Wolling of F% rfield saw that
tho constitutional rbjiotion of Mr. doLoaoh
oould ho easily disposed of, booaumc
tho section is oapabloof moro
than one oorstruotion. This b-ll would
tend to build up tho waste places of tho |
StatO. For tLe want of fnnrsrv and fnr I
tho want of enterprise the great port of
Charleston. t.uperior to any in Georgia,
in almost idle. Tho Atlanta exposition
did a great deal for Goergia, and tho
Charleston exposition will do a groat
ueal for South Carolina.
Mr. Strom of Edg? field, said ho ap
prcoiated the neot-siity of going oare
fully with the 8tate money, but ho declared
that tho State would never exrand
if it kept dosed up liko an oyster.
Ho diffcrod with his oolioaguo Mr. Mayson.
and would support the bill.
Mr. Baoot of Charleston argued the
< % >... ?" " v
, S. C., THURSDAY, F
constitutionality ol the matter. He
quoted dooibiooB of tho supreuio court
ot tho I'oited States to show that np
propriat;ons to expositions. cto , arc
not for private good but for public weal,
and therefore constitutional.
Mr. llardiu nskod if congress has
not appropriated $250,000 to tno exposi
lion.
Mr. IJtoot replied that the bill is
ponding waiting on tho decision of the
lcgHaturo of South O&rolina upon the
small appropriation.
Tho motion to strike cut tho enacting
wards was then voted upon und
overwhelmingly dofeated. Tho c who
voted a>o on this motion and in op
position to tho bill wero Messrs, Ashley,

A M EN DM ENT8 PROPOSED
A number of amendments were then
read, all of them evidently hostile to
tho bill Those amendments wore with
ono exception killed.
Mr. Mason's anion linout to appropriate
the $50,000 from tho Charleston
dispensary profits was voted dowu
So was Mr. Lylcs' to rcquiro the exposition
to keep tho administration
building open to tho publio froo of
ohargoone day in the wock.
Also Mr. Ride's and Mr. Ijiuihx'b
amendments to provide for sale of tho
buildings afier tho olosc of tho exposition,
suoh sale to bo at public outory.
The only amendment adopted was
Mr. Tatum's to provide for tho sinking
fund oointniision to sell tho building
afttr its object is accomplished.
Mr. Richards propnBod an amendment
to mako tho appropriation $25,000.
11 o stated briefly that TuoBday
morning ho had boon told by tho comptroller
goncral that tho tax levy would
bo inoroascd if tho appropriation bo
mado, as Winthrop and South Carolina
college arc asking for additional appropriations.
Diecussion on tho amendment was
out of order and tho voto was taken.
The 2d who voted to striko out tho
enaoting words, with thoexoeption of
Mr. Kibler and Mr. Niohols, votod for
tho amendment, as did Messrs. Bleaso,
Butler, Freeman, Lido, MoLiod, ltiohardfl,
M L Smith, K.roman and Wolla.
Tho voto againbt tho amendmont was
tho nan o as that against striking out
tho onaoting words, except for tho
abovo ohangos; also Messrs. Kiblor and
Niohols votod against this ainondmont
and Mr. Bryau from Beaufort camo in

The bill then passed second roading

not conscious after tho fall, which was
a tmddon and unoxpooted p'ungo for H5
or If feet, striking with his head upon
the floor, breaking his neck and bruising
his skull. Mr. Ookcr was an expert
machinist, and wm engaged to place
tho machinery in tho Monaghao mill,
a work in which ho had boon ongagod
at the Sampson mill. Ho was unaoqumitcd
with tho oondition of affairs
at tho Monaghan, but wan informed

Tho Lord Campbell Act.
Mr. I'rantly's bill to amend tho act
to ainond sootion 6,316 of tho revised
statutes, tho samo boing a part of what
is known as tho Lord Campbell aot, was
taken up for its nocond reading with
two roporta from tho oommittoo in tho
Scuato Tuesday Tho Lord Campbell a?t,
as it is called, is tho English law introduced
by LordCampboll in 1847, allowing
roprosontativos of tho oslato of por
sons killod through tho nogligcnoo of
corporations to bring suit and rooovor
pecuniary damages, tho courts having
held previous to that time that the
oaubo of action diod with the doraon ho
injured. M.r. Brantloy's bill sought to
allow bonofioiarios undor suoh suit* to
rooovor vindictive an well as actual damages,
as in the law in moat of the States,
and ho spoke at some length in favor of
its paHsago. Tho motion to adopt the
majority report and thus kill tho bill
was lo-t by a vote of IS to 15, and tho
bill passed its stomd reading.
Still on Top.

The scnsto turned from tho t;r'n-' of

j to a spo^oh wluoh pit-took of the ch*r?o'or
of ad oration, fr m Senator Tcwne
by Minnesota, ir. vlvooaoy of hm rcaolatioQ
for n cessation w' li..utilities in tho
Philippine*. Moth tho fljor anrt gallcricu
woro crowded. The ro*t of the
day wa* fr/oted to tho Indtaa appropriation
bill.
Mr. Frve, tho pro siding officer, Uid
Dcioro t'ic senate a aa'.logram from tho
directory of the federal party in tho
rhilii>pines, addressed to the senate
and Iioumo praying authoU??tion for
I President McKinlcy to establish olvil
| government in tho Philippines abacever
he deems It opportu?;o.
"Aoocasions to fcdoral party by
thousand* in ail parts of tho ar*hipoi go,"
says tho cablegram. "Attitudc-of
hitherto unrcoonoilablo press and tho
general public opinion show that labors
of party to bring pcaco will soon bo
crowned with buoocsh. Until now political
parties have attomptod formation
en plans moro or loss questioning
Amorioan sovereignty. Our platform
makes main plank sovereignly cf United
States with liberty to caoli oitiacn
to pursue poaoofully his political ideas.
Hour of pcaoe has sounded. On our
platform aro grouped many Filipinos
of hitherto irreoonoilablo ideas, but
somo moro obstinato doolino to join,
for 'hough willing toaeeopt sovereignity
of United States tho prospeot of indefinite
continuanoe of military government
makes thom distrust purposes of
tho United Statoa and dolays their submission."
Mr. Towno then spoko. The ebargo
that Aguinaldo had sold his oouuty to
Spaniards for a bribe, ho declared, wan
"gratuiicous in its calumny, when we
consider that tho official publioationa of
our own government eontradiot and
doetroy it."
The senator deolared that "we wore
in alliance with the Filipinos, an alliauoo
sought by ounelves. availed it
by us for our own advantage and final
ly, to oar ovorlastinir shame repudiated ^
by us when wo found it no longer nooessary
and whon last of empire has so
blunted our moral sensibilities that wo
could mount from an act of porfldj to
tho grand lsroony of a nation."
"It is not oasy to fix with aoouraey
the timo when the design was formed to
; tako forcible possession of tho PhilipI
pino islands," said Mr. Towno. "Upon
; the arrival of General Morritt at Manila
distinct ohango of tone was obscrvahlo
botwoon the Uuited States
ofhoials and the Filipinos, the altered
attitude being so markod as to foroe tho
conclusion that part of Qonoral Morritt's
pro arranged task was to mi<
noouvro out of an awkward friendliness
with Aguinsldo, and thus to roaoh a
footing for tho oonvonioot development
of some soeret poliov with which he had
come frosh freightod from Washington.
"ICithor tho third articlo of the protocol

"lot it bo in open guise. If wo lust for

Mr. Towne roaintt ined that tho Unit'ird

Filipinos, who ho contended, were able
