IT IS NOT LAWFUL.
In the last issue of THE NEWS AND
HERAJ.D Mr. Jno. M. Gaydeu inquire I
whether or not a magistrate had an
thority to tax costs against a prose
ctor where a search warrant is issued
by the officer. The question is a legal
one, but we shall answer it according
to our view of the law. We apoligize
to Mr. Gayden for not having replied
in our last is&L3, btt the failure to
notice his communication was due to
the absence of the editor.
His question is best answered in the
language of the Statute. Section 8, of
Act No. 297, Acts of 1897, entitled
"An act to provide f;or the appoint
ment of magistrates and to define their
jurisdiction, powers and duties," readR
as follows: "The magistrates now in
office, or hereafter to be- appointed,
shall receive annual salaries in lieu of
all fees and costs in criminal coses or
proceedings, payable quarterly by the
Counto Treasurer" &c. (Italics ours).
In the -ame act the amount of salaries
is stated, but as that is irrelevant to
the .inquiry farther parts of tho act
need not be quoted.
It is, therefore, clear that, issuing a
search warrant being a criminal "pro
ceeding", the magistrate has no power
to tax casts against the prosecutor in
stich a proceeding, because the law
says: "The magistrates now in office,
or hereafter to be appointed, shall ? e
ceive annual salaries in lieu of all fees
and.costs in criminal cases or proceed
ings," (Italics ours). .
The same Act after fixing the sala
ries of the several magistrates for
Fairfield County provides: "Each
magistrate shall have the power to
appoint one constable, who shall re
ceive fifty dollars each per annum in
lieu of all fees and costs in criminal
cases, except the constable in the
Seventh Judicial District, who shall
-receive seventy-five dollars, and the
constable in the Ninth Judicial Dis
trict, who shall receive seventy-five
dollars." It is, therefore, obvious
that the constable is entitled to no
costs in a search warrant iproceeding,
it being in the nature of a criminal
case.
POLl1rICS AND POVERTY.
THE NEWS AND HEEALD has more
than once pointed out that t oe man who
toes into politics generally comes out
if not a panper, at leaqt very little bet
ter off thin when he started. On
several occasions instances of this
have been given. A few days ago,
the press despatches said that LeRoy
* W. Maudlin had committed suicide in
New lork State He left a note to a
-frend siating that "his son is sick in
bed," and his "wife in absolutely des
titutc circumstances," and as a last
request he begged his fr i'end to send
her ten dollars. He further stated, '-I
shall have to be buried by the authori
- - ties, as I have not one cent."
This man was aot 62 years old,
and was Horatio Sey mour's clerk.
"He became populor and was elected
city treasurer" (Utica, N. Y.); and
"was prominent in Domocratic poli
tics" in Michigan to which State he
moved, and was appointed postmaster
by President Cleveland.
The venerable Mr. Edr.' een wrote
in this paper once that his o.,ervation
was that a man generally gets poverty
out of politics. They seem to go hand
in hand.
GEA~rrEVILLE COUNTY has one man
who bas made a return under the in
come tax law of this State, aa~ that
man is Mr. J. L. Orr. It would be
in~teresting' to know how many such
returns are made in the State. We
* should not be surprised to find that
Greenville stands alone in this dis
tinction. For the information of
those wto may be inclined to give
Fairfield t he distinction we shall give
the substance of the law. The tax is
as follows: Between $2,500 and $5,000
a year, 1 per cent; from $5,000 to
$7,000, 14 per cent ; $7,000 to $10,000,
2 per cent; $10,000 to $15,000, 24 per
cent; $1.5,000 and over 3 per cent.
Those liable to the tax shon~d bave
made their returns by the 20th of
September, last.
For the comfortlof the secretive, it
may be also stated that County Audi
tors are forb'dden to mnake known the
amount or souree of such income.
How many such persons are there in
Fairfield?

AN IN~TERESTING PAMPHLZT.
An A ccount of a Celebration of Hack's
Defeat Held in York County Over Fifty
Years Ago.
To the Editor of the News and
Courier: Recently Representative R.
A. Meares, of Fairfield, kind[y pre
sented me with a pamphlet, which I
not only prize, but which is of so
interesting an historical character that
I cannot resist the desire of writing
some account of it.
The pamphlet is entitled "Proceed
ings of a Celebration of Huck's Defeat
at Brattonsville, York District, S. C,
July 12, 1839." it was published by
request of the committee of arrange
ments. From it we learn that the
originrator of the celebration was Dr.
John S. Bratton, who owned the field
of Huck's defeat, and was the son of
Colonel William Bratton, the Revola
tiowary warrior, who was one of the
leaders at this battle.
About 1,500 persons attended the
celebration, among them four military
companies. The crowd marched in
procession fr-m Dt. Bratton's house
t the battlefield, accompanied by a
band of music.
Among the leatures of the celebra
tion was at fine barbecue given by Dr.
Bratton. The leading feature of the
celebration was an oration by Colonel
W. C. Beatty, which is given in fall.
In language appropriate and graphic
he told of this battle, and his account
was full and interesting.
No one can read this oration with
out a Ithrill of patriotic feeling, and
we ot Carolina can feel proud that
such an engagement took place on our
soil-an engagement between 75 patri
ots on one side and 400 British cavalry
and a large number of Tories.
The former gained a glorious victory,
and this victory gave inspiration to
the patriots. Speaking of this engage
ment Colonel Beatty well said:
"Who would not rather be the
victor oii such a field than to have
gained those of Agincourt and Cressy?
They were fought for empty fame
this for liberty and political existence."
Another featurc of ine celebration
were toasts to the memory of the Rev
olationary soldiers, and the names of
'he soldiers are given.
It is interes:ing to look over these
names; among them we find that of
James Hemphill.
There were four survivors of tbis
battle living at the time of this cele
bration. The toasts to them was as
follows:
"Henry Ray, Jonn Waliace, Francis
Wilev and William Carson-On this
spot 59 years ago they battled for
their country's rights. how proud to
their hearts the recollection that they
have not lived and fought in vain."
Before receiving this valuable pam
phlet from Mr. Meares I was ignorant
of its existence, and I presume but
very few copies can now be found.
We cannot help but wish that there
were more men in *Suth Carolina
like Dr.' Bratton, who rould get up
such celebrations as the interesting
one held in 1839. *

Parsnip Complexion.
It does not require an expert to de
tet the sufferer from kidney trouble
The hollow cheeks the sunken eyes,
the dark, puffy circles under the eyes,
the sallow parsnip-colored complexion
indicaes it.
A physician would s.sk if you had
rheumatism, a dull pain or sche in the
back or over the hips, stomech trou
ble, desire to urinate often, or a burn
ing or scalding in passing it; if after
sing there is an unsatisfied feeling
. if it must be at once repeated, or if
the urine has a brick dust depot-it or
strong odor.
When these symptoms are present,
no time sh'>uld be lost in removing the
cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of
the bladder, inflammation, causing
stoppage, end smetimes requiring the
drawiig of the urine with instruments,
or may run into Bright's Disease, the
most dangerous stage of kidney trou
Dr. Kiimer's Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, is a positive remedy
for such diseases. Its reputation is
world-wide and it is so east to get at
any drag store that no one need suiffer
any length of time for want of it.
However, if you prerer to first test
its wonderful merits, mention The
News and Herald and write tolDr.
Kilmer & Co , Binghamton, N. Y., for
a sample bottle and book telling all
about it, both sent absolutely free by
