B JAS S. FARKIM ACQUITTEO. I Mate Loses in Firs! of Alleged Graft, W, # Cases?John Blnck Next C 0 U1 ! bid, "" ! '' 'I'.'T doi JuiiU'Sj S Farnum . - -n acquitted <?i" th- charge c : Joseph It Wylie. when i - I j" was a State i 'J dispensary li.K.: :. I \ Sis hours it took the Richland N county jury to decide that Farnuni T* was not guilty. With the clear-cut I words of Judge Mt iumingtr ringing ^ . in the:'- ears the jurors tiled one hy one from iiie court room shortly after 1" o'ci- ck this morning and a little after 4 o'clock their decision | was an jounced. It was a dramatic! moment in the court room. The) y delenuant grasped tne nanus 01 the individual jurors and expressed his appreciation of their verdict. Attorney (ieneial Lyon, when asked concerning the trial shortly after the verdict had been rendered by the jury, said: "1 have uothiug to say. The testimony in the ca^e speaks for itself." He made no , Idefiuite statement as to the future | action of the .State other than to j say that the case against John Black, charged with accepting a , bribe, would very probably be call> ed on Wednesday. This statement ( j was made in the court this afternoon ; at the request 1 of Judge Mem- i minger, who had previously asked that other cases be tried duriug next week than the remaining one for bribery against Farnuni. Not < talking officially, the attorney j general, however, intimated that the first defeat wou d not affect ! the course of the State iu reference , to the other indictments in the al leged dispeusary "graft" cases. I When pressed for an official state- ' f\ ment the attorney general said: "I Rt have heard it rumored that the jury M declined to bring in a verdict r against the defendant because they . would not convict on the testimony ? of au accomplice. If this rule is to I be followed, it will always be a practical impossibility to ever con- , ict one of bribery, for testimony , in such causes must necessarily , come from au accomplice. , It will now be a physical im- ' possibility to try any of the cases ex cept the Black case, if that is taken op Wednesday, as indicated. The other cases will have to be con} tinned until the next term of ^ criminal court. ^ * In the case against John Black A the indictment alleges tuat he acS cepted a bribe or rebate of $2,500. | This is the cause scheduled to come K up Wednesday. | The list of indictments include I n?w: Statv agaiust James Parnum, bribery, the bribe alleged to have been wiven to Joscnh B Wvlie. in ~ O" ~ ~ ft? ?

They Didn't Have to Change. During the years in -which our pure 1'ood laws have been put into effect P there has been a great hurrying and P- scurrying on the part of the food manft ufacturers to change their methods to W make them conform to the law. y The Quaker Oats Company is a con4 soicuoos exception. It was admitted " that Quaker Oats was as pure and clean as possible and that it was an v ideal food. \ It is so cheap that any one can atfr ford it and so nourishing that everyone needs it. The result of last year's experiments at Yale and other points where food values were tested is that Quaker Oats has been adopted by many persons as their food on which they rely for adding vigor and endurance of mnseie and brain. This splendid food is packed in the regular size package and in hermetically sealed tins. The latter especially adapted to hot climates. 4 t SMITH FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL. Has Made Definite Announcement Ttiat He Will be in the Race Next Year. Hon Meudel L Smith of Camden, | Kx-Speaker of the House of Representatives and at present a Representative in tile Legislature from Kershaw county, in an interview which appeared last week in the Camden News, published at his home, stated definitely that he would be a candidate for attorney general ne.vt year. This will be gratifying intelligence 10 Mr Smith's manv friends in Williamsburg, as well as the other counties of the State. Mr Smith already has achieved the distinction of being one of the brainiest and most brilliaut lawyers of the State; he is a gifted and eloquent speaker and has a rare capacity for making friends. l"nless some strong opponent appears, who tip to the present tune has not been mentioned in connection with the office, we predict that Mr Smith will have a walk-over race for attorney general. At this time we believe that 110 stronger candidate for this office could be brought out. Following is the estimate placed upon Mr Smith by his home paper: Mr Smith is well known throughout the State as one of its ablest 1 young men; and while he has been much in the public eye, having seen much of public service, he has never yet made the race for a State office. Should 110 contingency arise to cause him to reconsider his determination | of becoming a candidate for attorney general the voters of the State will have the opportunity of voting for one who will reflect credit upon his State and add honor to himself through the means of his unquestioned ability. He will receive the hearty endorsement of his home oounty in his aspirations. ? ? ' ? NO PAY FOR MANAGERS lo Dispensary Election Till Legislature Meets?Other Managers May be Paid. The General Assembly, when it passed the bill providing for the elec tionou the dispensary question, to be held in twenty-one counties in the State,failed to make any provision to pay the expenses for holding the said election,hence the claims of managers and for advertising the election will have to be held over until the next session of the Legislature, when no doubt provision will be made for their payment. It is hard to imagine how an intelligent body of men, such as the General Assembly of South Carolina is supposed to be composed of, would order an election aud make absolutely no provision for the expense of holdiug it. In this case, however, that seems to be just what has been done aud those who have done the work must wait for their rnouey until the law-makers meet again. In Williamsburg couDty, it is possible that the commissioners and the managers ot election at the ten precincts included m the proposed new county of Rutledge may get their money, as the same set of managers served in both elections. The comptroller general advises us that there is a fuud for paying for advertising iu the Rutledge electiou and it seems that the same fuud should be available to pay all expenses incurred, iucluding the per diem and mileage of commissioners, managers, clerks, etc. Why?
