With Col Henry Watterson at
Monte Carlo and Col "Jim" Ba- j
con doing the tenderloin dis- j p
trict of New York, we may ex- g
pect some racy descriptive
sketches in the Sundav news- <
le
paper supplements. C(
Instead of fooling away his tl
time hunting bears in Colorado ^
His Rooseveltian Majesty might
have popularized himself with 01
the Southern cotton gTowers ^
, by chasing a few around the &(
purlieus of Wall street. ,b<

rr
According to the record kept ^
by the weather bureau the
ca
frosts of Monday and Tuesday ^
mornings are the latest that in
have occurred for eighteen dc
years. The area included by J'
the killing frost embraces near- n)
ly all of the South Atlantic ^
' States, extending almost to the ^
Gulf of Mexico. D
hi
With all the sneers and gibes ^
at the Russian Admiral Rojest- at
vensky it requires a supreme dc
degree of heroism to deliberate- SP
ly go. to> battle with an enemy in
tbe face of almost certain dis- ^
aster and death. His message en
to his sovereign has tne true t*
ring: "I will not telegraph again cc
before the battle. If I am beat- co
Bi
en you will learn it through To- ?
tb
go; if I defeat him I will an- ^
nounce it to you." jQ
^==== jv
Marion Parr, the white man
condemned for murder in Rich- bi
land county, paid the penalty v
erf bis crime last Friday. And di
on next Friday a negro will be J?
' executed in Clarendon county ^
for the same crime. Ir spite of ^
the strenuous efforts of sickly th
sentamentalists the gallows of
tree is bearing fruit and human "
life promises to become as sacred
in South Carolina as in ,
bj
other States, if the good work ^
goes on. w]
Along with the rest of the re
ar
truck-growing section of the Qn
State the people of Williams- ro
burg have suffered a severe vi
back-set in what might be called be
an "infant industry" in this
county. We like the indomitit
tabl# spirit, however, voiced in j
the letter of our Cades corres- ^
pondent, when he tells us that wi
the truckers, whose beans were
killed by the frost, have already ^
sent in their orders for more
er:
seed to replant their crop. In
the lexicon of such people veri- ^
ly there is no such word as fo
fail.

Children
To succeed these days you
must have plenty of grit, courage,
strength. How is it with
the children ? Are they thin,
pale, delicate ? Do not forget
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. You
know it makes the blood pure
and rich, and builds up the
general health in every way.
The children cannot possibly have Rood
health unless the bowels are in proper condition.
sluggish liver gives a coated tongue,
had breath, constipated bowels. Correct all
tbeee bv giving small laxative doses of Ayer's
Plli* All vegetable, sugar-coated.

On instructions of Judge Braw
y 111 the United States circuit
>nrt this afternoon, the jury re
irnod a verdict of not guilty in th?
ise against Rudolph Rabens, Chrn
abens, James Johnson, Frank Wil
ams and Robert Stain back, charge*.

g into a postoftice and larceny ol
iverninent funds, "the robben
iving been committed, it was al
ged, on September 21 last, al
ingstree.
When the government rested ib
.so Attorney E W Hughes, repre
nting Rudolph Rabens, started U
terpose some objections to the evi
nice of the government, whei
adge Brawlev interrupted him, ml
g that the government had not
ade out its case, and he could nol
large the jury to any effect. Upoi:
ie request of the court, Assistanl
istrici Attorney Cochran outlined

Ml been proved to nave t^Keu piact

Rabens to have been in coniracy
with Morgan, alluding tc
e several defendants having been
en at and about Kingstree, and tc
ive been traced out of Charleston,
i route for the place of the robry,
and if thechaigeof conspiracy
>uld not be sustained, the other
unts might be held. But Judgt
rawley reiterated the position of
e court, saying that in conscience
und be could not instruct the
ry upon the evidence submitted,
he court stated that the govern
ent had established a great probality,
suspicion was strong, but th<
idence which had been submitted
d not sufficiently connect the de
ndante with the crime, in that it
d not bring them close enough tc
e affair. In making the ruling
e court paid tribute, however, tc
ie efforts of the district attorney's
ce aau iu iue juumuutu ?wm ui
