thing had occurred to cause her serious
anxiety. The berths, the couch. and
even the floor were littered with the

stood the lady herself, looking decid

she said, pointing to an empty jewel

Nothing further occurred to excite
sspicioni until the last day or two of
the voyage. Then, one evening after
dinner, word was brought to me that
three other staterooms had been
rIlled in the samo mysterious manner.
Watches, jeweiry and even money had
diiappeared, though III all three cases
the passongers Stoutly declared thoy
had loft their doors locked.
Whlen the alarna reached mil I hap

I had inl ily handtwenty sovereigns
which I had just taken iII exchange for

lPor a minute or two I stood there
gazing )lankly bofore me, so utterly
confused and dismayed that I could
scarcely bring my wits to bear upon
the mysterious alfair. Then Imanaged
to pull myself together and took a look
around the little cabin. In the course
of my observations my eyes happened
to rest upon the port-hole, which stoOd
wido open, the weather being oppres
sively h1ot.
I regarded the innocent-looking
port-hole with the air of a veritable
Sherlock Holmes. I went outsido and
thrust my armin in through the opening,
but my hand did not reach within fully
two yards of the desk. Still it struck
me as being the only way by which
the thief could have got at the m1oniey,
and I determined to put my theory to
a practical test.
I hurried down into the saloon,
where most of the passcngers were conC0
gregated. As yet few of theu were
aware of the robberies, for we had
kept the matter as secret as possible.
I went straight up to a young Ameri

great many trinkets in his stateroom,
and was rather careless, too. in tile

the report of Mr. Le Meares on the
crop of Mr. Commodore Rodgers. Mr.
Meares said that, considering quality
of land, he was satisfied that Mr. Itodg
ers had the best crop in Fairviow
Township. He said that Rodgers had
bought the land seven years ago, when
it was considered worthlest, owing to
its being tilled with gullies and all the
soil having been washed away. Every
thing is different now. The land has
been terraced and redeemed and is
producing lino crops. This year Mr.
Itodgers has forty acres in corn and
sixty In cotton, and tile entire crop is
in) perfect condition so far 4as 'lItiVa

bicycle rider' w1o pedals his bicycle on
a single r'ail of a railroad track, made
his trip fa'rm Tiburton to Santa Rosa
without aitcident. lie rode the single

the wonder of the country people. M1r.
Wilbur does not ride oil Saturday
because he is a Seventil Day Adventist.
In Oakland Wilbur is known as the
"bicycle freak." The other day he
astonished the natives by riding down
Broadway standing on his head and
pedaling Ills whool with his hands.
Thon lhe came LIp tile street riding his
wheel backward. Ile was mounted in
his seat with I his face toward the rear
wheel and the handle bars clutched
fromn bein I d. NrN. V Wilbur found that
le created so much excitemert that
lie tried a new trick--that of riding
on Ills Oclr. Getting a good start down
troadway WillrjIll' clutelhed his handle
>ars and raising himself into the air,
went, spinning down the street with
the Side of his head resting on tile sad
die. In order to )erform this feat Ie
has to be a perfect balancer, and Wil
bur' possesses this quality. Wilbur's
sensational ride on a single rail after a
tiIail Over the narrow-gauge trestle
was the climax of his recklessness. It
is tile talk of the bicyclers and Wilbur
is pIoud of his feat.
"Of course, a man takes chances in
making these mail trips," said Wilbur,
in discussing the rides. " In order to
ride a wheel is 1 do one' must have
perfect conti'ol of the bicycle, and I
can ride on it in more ways tlan any
otiler m"an in the country. I ride a
bicycle standing on my head or on my
Car, pedal it backward, hold iyself ill
front of the lhan:'e bars and pedal
backward, and in fuet, I ride in every
conceivable position : but this way of
riding becamo rather stale to ime. It
was not exciing enough, so I conceived
the idea of riding a iail. At first I

THE GOVERNOR LIABLE TO ARREST.
UPE I NOT ABOV,' THE LAW.
A Strong anld cogont. Opinion From
tihe City Attorney ol' Felorence
The Council Sustains 11Him ainl
Coundeans the Governor.
Mr. George G. Thompson, the city
attorney of Florence, has addressed
the fol!owing letter to the.City Council,
in view of the recent action of Gov
ernor Evans in defying arrest for
breach of the peace:
'"1.'ouI-:NuI, S. C., July 31, 189i.
TO the City Council:
On last l.riday, .. Gary 1-vans, who
holds the ollicial position of Governor
of the State of South Carolina, and
Joseph 11. idare, a judge of the Circuit
Court of this State, each in his person
nli and privato capacity, and exercisinmig
the rightli held by every citizeln of this
State, was addressing in public within
this city a largo number of citizens,
each endeavoring according to his o.vu
Imethods. to securl0 the votes of the
people of th is county. luring the pro
gress of this meeting these two politi
cal contestants becam e rgaged in a
per-sonal combat. Hundreds of men
were present: some drOw pistols, others
Illado ready for their use, excitement
rLL high. One stray shot by any ex
cited spectator would in all probability
have precipitated a riot and many lives
might have been sacrificed. The
peace of the city was jeopardized and
its laws violated.
I was communicated with by the
mayor and advised him that theso
parties could and should be arrosted,
without regard to their ollicial posi
tions. Warrants were acc-ordingly
issued, charging them with lighting
and breach of the peace. Joseph 11.
10arle rendered ready obelience, but ..
Gary 1Evans resisted and delied the law.
le told the chief of police to take the
warrant back to the mayor "with the
contempt it deserves,' and that he
"considered it an insult." Ie informo I
the mayor that he could not be ar
rested; that the only way to reach him
was by impeachment. ile threatened
to use the power of his ollice to pro
tect him from the Conequences of the
br-oken law. He threatened to "take
charge of the maiyor and the town," or
words to this effect. We are left to
conjecture as to precisely what J. Gary
E0vans meant by "taking charge of the
town." As interpreted at the time by
several of his constables (who were
with him at the time of the attempted
arrest) it was an unworthy and unlaw
ful tbeat to resort to the netropolitan
police. J. Gary 10vans was not arrested.
He left the city and has since boasted
through the pess that the town
authorities apologized for the at
tempted affront to "his excellency."
I never advised that the Governor
could be arrested, but then advised,
and still reiterate that .1. Gary Evans
could and should have becn arrested,
and that without regard to his ollicial
position and w~litout regard to conse
lquences, even if it required overy man
in tile city to accomplish it, and even
If it entai led the severe penalty of
metropolitanl police.
Is his novel position, that he is above
the law. sound from any point of law or
reason ? Perom the standpoint of reason
such a position, in the expressive lan
guag.; of The News and Courier, is
" Islitply monstrous," and coming from
the person claiming the exemption,
can only be accounted for on -he theory
of total ignorance of the first principles
of republican government, or such a
diseased imaginationi as approximates
i~he condition our friends, the dc~etors.
would call "dcmentia of egotism.''
Such an exemption could only arise
undecr the common law or by statute,
linchluing O thle constitutLion. 'Thie coml
muon law cani hardly he appealed to, for
noe such ofliee Is known to it., for it is am
creation of the conistituotion. it coulId
arise from the common law oni the
theory of "khiny pre13 rogative,"x in
lheri ted from tihesot-ere ignso(f EniglIandi
and it sents that our (Governor re'sts
his ,ase) on thiis thecory, for lie inform
el thme mayiuor that he coubul no more be
arrested thani the "inig (sovereign) of
I'. ginglan,"' or wvords to that effOet, for
getting at the moment of this ridice
hms assi uption of ''kingly preroga
tive," that the doctrine of the "king
can do no wrong" has no pla1ce among
rep~ublican simlicity: that in at
monarch tile sovereignty resides in the
person of the king, but in at republlic
this sovereignty abides in the peopl.
TIhe constitution whiiich creates his
ollice give him no comfort in this re
markable assumption. ArtIcle 2, sec
Li on 14, article 3, section 14, andl arti
cle 13, section 2, exemphit att certaini
times electors on the day of election,
members of both houses and voluntee
militia forces, from arrest, but is ptr
ticular In each ease to expressly pro
vide that these exemptions shall noi
apply to "treason, felony or breach ol
the pence." Article 15, section 3, pro
vides that "the Governor and all othet
executive and judicial ollicers shall be
- liable to imipeachtment: but judlgmtent
in such cases shall not ex tend furtheri
tihan remnoval from ollice.'' Thel pe'rsom
conivicteid shall, nevartheless, be Iliable
toi "idictmoint, trial and punishment
accord inrg to law.'' It is obvious that
this section (loes not lix the time in
w ich an indictment may lie to after
conviction on iimpeach ment, but onl1
intends to plrevent a conviction on
imipeatchmnent being plead in batr to anl
"indic ltment and triatl and punishmlent
accordinig to law."' If Lbhis contention
were tm-ue, then the Governor could
not alone clamimi this Iim mu nity3, 1)ut
every other "xecutlvo and judicial
ollierm" could claim like exemption.
Besides, if the H-ouse saw lit to refuse
to prefer charges of impeachment for
any offense, or the offense was one for
which imp)Cehmnent would not lie,
then his excellency, the Governor,
would of necessity escape all punish
ment, because the alleged pre-reg uisite
of couviction on Impeachment could
not be0 shown. Tihus is shown the utter
absurdity of such a contation. lUut it
may be urgndl that if the Governor
could be arrested and p~ut in jail there
would be no ('n) to exercise the func
Lions of his ollIce andl tLhe people would
be without an executIve head. Arti
clo 4, section 9), of the constitution
preyvides : "'In ease of ternporary d is.
ability of the Governor the Ieutenant
Governor shall perform tihe duties of
the Governor." Thus it will bec seen
that in case his excellency should be
come temporarily dlisaibled bty pre'fer
ring to go) to jail rather than pay a
small tine of a few dollars, the p~eople's
government would not go to rinii for
wvant of an executive head.
IL Is no doubt true that the Governior,
in exercising the 1)01itical fu nctions of
hiis oflico-, is lbeyond the reach of the
courts, but "'in his person he is subeject
to jud(1icial con tro!, as othrm citLiz -ns."
-Eighth American and 10nglish En
ctyclopo- iIa of Law (Ii rst edition,) I -10th.
The warrant in this case was not
against the Governor, but, aga Inst the
pers1.'oa. of J1. Gary E0vans.
If the contention omf lihe Governor
wer'e doubtful, I still ma'ntain that he
should have been arrested, as tihe onily
Sway to settle a disputed polnt of law of
this kivid is by resort to the courts, and
the courts could not settle t t
obtaining jurisdiction of his person b
arrest. If such could by any possibility
be the law, then it should be judicially
determined, and gve the people a
chance of changing it to confor'm to
republican Institutions.
Surrounded by his tuyritidons, gath
ered about his person as rumors of his
areest reached them, John Gary Evans
has outraged the laws lie has sworn to
see enforced; he has brought the gov.
ernment of this city into contempt in
the eyes of all brave and free people
who have not learned to "bond the
sul )110hinges of the kneo," and until
it is wiped out a blot rests upon her
fair name forever. It has always been
the boast of our peole)o that "all men
are eqpal before ti law:" that there
are none too high to ' scape its punishi
mont, and none too low to forfeit its
protection. If this precedent is al
lowed to stand, herealter any humbeh
citizen, arrested without apology and
dragged before our tribunals, can just
ly complain that our boast is false, and
throw in our teeth the accusation that
'all inen are not equal before the law.'
I submit both the soundness and
justice of my advice to the considera
tion of the City Council, to whom I ai
responsible.
Respectfully,
GioRjG. G. TIJUMPSON,
City Attorney.
Upon receipt of thils communication,
the City Council adopted the following
resolutions:
Resolved, by the City Council of
Florenco in Council assembled :
I . That we have absolute conlidence
in both the justice and legality of the
advice of our city attorney oil the oc
casion of the recent attempt to arrest
John Gary Nvans.
2. That the action of the Governor in
eseaping arrest by represonting to the
Mayor that he was not subject to ar
rest, was unworthy of the Governor ol
this great State.
:1. That we assure the Mayor that
lie will ever have our hearty co-opera.
tion in every effort in his power to vin
dicate the laws of this city and bring
all otfonders to feel its force and with
out regard to their ollicial position.
.1 That the communication of the
city attorney, with these resolutions,
be given to the county and State press
with requests of publication.

Not only is the aggregate wealth o.
the Southern and many of the West

per capita wealth of the South and
West is doing likewise. The Souti
lost enormously in both aggregate ant
per capita wealth by the war and by
the abolition of slave property, tLough
of course, this wav inl part, only an ap
parent loss, since the free-man was a:
valuable to the community as the bond
man. Thus it camne about that thi
census of Is7O showed a great loss ii
aggregate and p)er1 capita wealti
throughout the South. The panic ii
the decade 1870--81) made the showine
by the census of 18() still worlse, but
the South made remarkable progres:
in the decade 1880-1890. The increase
of population throughout the South in
that decade was large, but the increast
in aggregate wealth was still lar-ger
