BUCK GUILTY
? Jodie I. RawHnsoa and B. Lee Stlwaoni
Declared Not Gaily.
FAMOUS GRAFT TRIAL
J ohm BUack W?m Convicted on tl>?
MMtiM Couui of indictment,
WWch i? t;ouspiracy u> i?;in?uu
aad CXioAt the Htato Out <>/ a
UvfQ Sum of Money.
The Jury In the graft cases at
Chester brought in the following
verdict at half-past nine o'clock Friday
night: "Not guilty as to Jodie
M. Hawlinson aud II. Lee Solomons;
guilty an to John Slack on second
count; not guilty on first count."
The State Bays the conviction of
Black on the* second count of th*1
indlctMont means in a few words
*" that lie hits been declared guilty of
conspiring to cheat and defraud the
State of South Carolina by dlve~o
Talee pretenses and Indirect means
of largo sums of money.
The difference between the first
and second counts to the ordinary
xntnd 1 o hard to distinguish, the dif
Terence being something like this: I
The first count charges conspiracy i
to receive and accept rebates for In-,
dividual use by board of directors
of the State dispensary contrary to
the statues.
The second count is of more general
Meaning, meaning "any means
of cheating or defrauding the State,
aot merely the acceptance of rebates.
Illack was convicted on the second
-count and the penalty is left to the
discretion of the court.
fJlack's counsel immediately, on
the anouncement of the verdict, gave
notice of a motion for a new trial.
In the meantime Black is out on
bond.
The result of the verdict is a
triumph for the attorney general. A
great many expected to see a mistrial
at best, While others, from
the evidence presented at the triai
<>l this case, were of th opinion that
I'-lack would be convicted. What the
sentence will be will depend on th'a
court, as the matter is left to it.
After directing attention to the
jary to the nllogatios of indictments,
itirU'A Moore. In substance, charged
them am follows:
That the acceptance of a rebate,
by amy one holding an office of trust
and profit in the State, In addition to
the comi>en?atlon provided by law, is
a misdemeanor under the statute,
but this la so only when such rebate
m accepted for the individual use
and benefit of such officer and not
when it is accepted for and on behalf
of the State.
A conspiracy to cheat and defraud
fhe State of false pretenses and indited
means being a conspiracy to <nlure
the public is a crime under the
Jaws of South Carolina, independently
of any statuary provision. A conspiracy
is a combination between
iwo or moro persons to do a criminal
act, that Is, to commit a crime, or
the agreeing of two or more persona
to do by concerted action an
unlawful act. To constitute a conspiracy
"there must be unity of design
and purpose, for the common
design is of tho essence of the conspiracy.
Th? more knowledge, ftcquiesonce,
or approval of the act, without the
oopcration or agreement to coopor?te,
la not enough to constitute one
/ si party to a conspiracy. No formal
agreement, however, is necssary to
/ onatitute a conspiracy, but is is sufficient
if the minds of the parties
meet undorstar.dingly, so as to bring
about an intelligent and deliberate
agreement, of purpose between them
to do the acts and commit the offenses
charged, although such agree-!
unent or understanding is not r tn'-l
(Tested by any formal words. j
The fact that the defendants did
not go upon tho stand and testify in
ihclr own behalf is not to be cousid^
?red against, them, as it is the right
* of the defendants to stand mute and
silent and roguire the State to prove
their guilt beyond a reasonable
doubt.
The jury is the sole judge of facts,
of the credibility of witnesses and of
truth of auy other testimony in th^
r ftse
The Jury Is to Ignore every oth^r
consideration except the duty to render

lllark Given Five Years.
"The sentence of the court is tint
you be confined In the State Penitentiary
for five years, without labor.'
These were the words that fell from
fh* lip* of Judge Ernest Moore Saturday
morning, at the close of his
remarks addressed to John Black,
who was Friday night found guipy
on the "conspiracy" charge, after a
trial lasting almost a week.
The proviso, "without labor." was
attached out of consideration of facts!
advanced, by M. P. Howell, attorney
for Black, on account of ill health. |

TILLMAN PLEASED
HAYS THK PEOPLE OUGHT TO
HAVE DONE IT LAST TIME.
Thinks
It Is More Tlun a Step at
Tedd/, Whose Pernicious Activities
Didn't Have the Itight Effect.
The Chronicle says Senator Benjamin
Tillman, of (South Carolina,
wan in Augusta Friday on business,
land while there he talked with a
representative of The Chronicle on
the recent Democratic victory. The
senator wuh particularly mild in
speaking of Theodore Rooseveit,
whom he has dubbed "the greatejt
fakir on earth," but the very quietness
of his voice lent additional
scorn and contempt for the ex-president.
Senator Tillman was asked for an
expression of the Democratic victory,
and what he thought of "the slap in
the face to Mr. Roosevelt."
"It was more than a slap in the
face," said the senator. "The re
cent victory of the Democratic party
is evidence of returning 3ense on
the part of the peopio, in a realization
of that change particularly
needed now, if we expect a good
government, and God knows it's had
enough. The corruptions that are
entering into it now ought to make
a good patriot tired.
"As to the causes of the election.
The tariff had something to do with
it. The pernicious activities of T. R.
didn't have the effect he desired, but
just the revrse. The tariff, of course,
rut Home fie uro. as shown by the
election of Foss in Massachusetts iiihi
the coiiKresBman in Buffalo, where
they turned Republican strongholds
upside down and walked off witn
'em.
"But the new grace of rommon
sense is the essential factor in the i
success, and the people ought to
have done this In the last election.
But, like ail the rest of us, their j
hind sight is better than their fore I
sight."
tSenator Tillman seemed delighted
at the outcome of the election, and
frequently chuckled to himself,!
probably at some memory stirred by
present events. The senator seems
much stronger after his recent Illness.
Senator Tillman left Friday aft-j
ernoon at 4 o'clock for his home, in
Edgefield, S. C.
RAILROADS HKLD KKSPO.NSIBLK.
Liable tor Damages When locomotives
Cause Fires.
That it is an error to grant a nou
hiiit on the ground tbat tHere wuf
no evidence of negligence, when the
testimony tended to show that damage
was caused to property by sparks
from a locomotive, is the substance
of a decision handed down Friday,
by Justice D. R. Hydrick, of the
State Supreme Court, in reversing
the decision of J. M. Birt, against
the Southern Hallway Company.
Justico Hydrick points out that
prima facie presumption is that there
was negligence, whence the burden
Is placed upon the railroad company
to show that the engine was constructed,
equipped and managed
with clue care.
This decision, which came up on a
case in which a non-Knit had been
ordered, is of much Importance 'n
causes arising out of damage to
proyerty from sparks from locomotives.
It is also pointed out by Mr IIy-1
' t.!nt t h 111 n /Iiitiilil'linl uul t i n on.'

negligence may bo amended. during
trial, to come under Section 2.135, j
of the code, which make railroads
liable for damacs for tire from engineR
(except in rases specified)
without regard to negligence. *
Judge Moore's talk to the convicted
man was kindly and considerate,
but at the same time straight and
from the shoulder. He denounced
the pillaging of the State, of which
Black had been declared guilty, und
said he would not impose a tine or
give even tho Alternative oI a fine,
as, according to his way of thinking,
the crlno* of which Black had been
convicted could not he properly atonled
for in that wtiy. Black stood the
trying ordeal without twitching.
At the conclusion of Judge Moore's
remarks the prisoner took bis seat,
and his attorney, Mr. Howell, served
notice on the court of an appeal to
the Supreme Court.
Attorney General I.yon consented
to a bond of $10,000, which was 1 in mediately
furnished by brothers of

State* Have Knrolled
Themselves Under the Democratic
Banner for the Country's Good.
The olectious held in the different
States on Tuesday of last week resuited
in a political convulsion of
| far reaching extent, similar at many
points to tho famous tidal wave of
1892, and possibly more widespread
i in effect. In many States, heretofore
considered Republican strongholds,
that party has been driven from power
by the outraged people and the
Democratic party enthroned.
In New York State John A. Dlx,
Democratic candidate for Governor,
Aas elected over Henry L. Stirnson,
Republican, by a plurality of about
66,000, reversing the Republican of

will control the Legislature,
which will elect a Democratic Senator
to succeed Senator Dick, Republican.
The Democrats gained seven
members of Congress.
In Indiana Gov. Marshall, Democrat.
was re-elected with the entire
Democratic State ticket, by a majority
of over 30,000. The Democrats
carried the Legislature which will
elect Kern, Democrat, to nucceed
Reveridge, Republican, in the United
States Senate. The Democrats nearly
made a clean sweep of eongressnien,
electing twelve out of thirteen,
which is a gain of one.
In Tennessee Hooper, Republican,
candidate for governor, defeated
Taylor, Democrat, by about 12,000
maj/brity. The Democrats carried
the Legislature and elected all their
congressional candidates except one.
The delegation in congress will remain
hh at present, eight Democrats
nid two Republicans.
In North Carolina the Democrats
carried the State by about ;"?(>,000
majority, electing all ten congressmen,
which Is n gain of three, and
making gains of probably ten Representatives
for the already overwhelming
Democratic majority in the lower
house of the General Assembly und
possibly four Senators. No State
olhcerH were voted for, except Judges
and Commissioners of Public Works
In West Virginia the Democrats
carried the Legislature,' which wjll
elect a Democraticj United States
Senator in place of Senator Scott,
Republican. They have also elected
four congressmen out of ttve, which
is a clean gain
In Nebraska Dahlmnn, Democrat,
candidate for Oovemor. way defeated
by Chester A A Id rich, Republican,
by a pftfe majority. The rest of the
Democratic State ticket was elected
and the Democrats control the Legislature,
which will elect Congressman

The expulsion of the religious orders
from Portugal and their imminent
expuls'ou from Spain will drive
many monks and nuns to this country
where they will seek refuge In
the various monasteries and convents
in the United States. The expulsion
of the religious orders from
France, years ago, led to the founding
of the first places of refuge in
this country and umong these wan
the Monastery of Gethsemane. the
Order of the Silent Brotherhood, 1 'Z
from Hrftdstown. Kv It was
established in 1 84 8 utul is to this
day one of the most visited religious
resorts on the continent. The oni>
other monastery of the kind in
America Is at Oca, a few miles from
Montreal, Canada.
The Trappiat order was founded
in the Twelfth century and is to-da>
the least known of the religious or
dors of America, possibly because
few people would care to enter the
ranks of the order and subscribe to
their rules. A Trappist never
speaks. He is under a vow of atamlete
silence. He never reads anything
but the books in the library at
the monastery. It is doubful if any
one of the 0 0 odd men in the Kentucky
monastery knows who is the
President of the United States or
the governor of Kentucky. Forgotten
by the world, they tbeoselvos
forget the world.

any time and drink no wino. One
meal a day must satisfy their hunger
and that consists of vegetable
soup, boiled bread md rice. They
pray six hours a day, the llrst scs- !
sion being at 2 a. m. They arise
at 4 a. m., summer and winter, ami
work ten hours out of every 2 4.
They retire at sundown and sleep on
a plank with a hard pillow. Such
are some of the many rules of the
order, all of which tend to place
the physical in the back-ground to
enable the monks to develop the
spiritual side of their being.
To enter the Trappist monastery is
to take a step backward 1,000 years
for the spade and the hoe and the
scythe and the cradle are still used
in tilling the soil which is rich and
productive. Hut the Trappists are
good farmers and the products from
their dairy are much sought on
Southern markets. Under vows of
perpetual silence, extreme poverty,
charity, separation, patience and sule
mission some of the noblemen of Europe
are living as monks with the
Trappists in Kentucky and it is safely
predicted that if events take morel
unfavorable turns against religious
orders in Kurope hundreds of devo 1:
men and women will seek refuge 1
In America where there is real freedom
for all sorts and conditions of
men to worship as they will. *
