Fines in tbe Mayor's Court.
The receipts from fines imposed in the
Mayor's Court daring tbe term of Mayor
Bossard aggregate, up to the 15tb instant, the
sum of $301 99. The total receipts from
fices during the years 1892-1)3-94-95-96
amounted to only $1099 60. The cone id ?r?
able increase itt the receipts from fices is
attributed to the vigilance of tbe police io
making arrests and not to the imposition of
heavy fines by the Mayor, for Mayor Bossard
bas showo a disposition to deal as leniently
with the violators of the law aa a consistent
.enforcement of the ordinances of the city
permitted. Tb? police have mude a great
many more arrests during the same period of
time than ever before, and they have been able
to present evidence to convict in a large
majority of the casts before the Mayor.

mouth of the Yaloo river aod the ter

commands the railway system recent

capital of Manchuria, and is of pr??
?minent importance as a strategic point.
"The seizure of the port shows that
Ras?ia bas practically taken possession
of Korea, Manchuria and the gulf of
Lan Taog aod possesses a significance
which will cause consternation amoog
the diplomats ia the old world. Its
situation is soon that its possession
practically places Russia in a position

The Homicide Record.
The chocking record of "homicides"
io South Carolioa during tbe ymr tbat
ia DOW closing, which was printed io
The News aud Courier last Monday,
showed among other (biogs, that the
list was beaded by Charleston County,
with eighteen such crimes, followed by
?iken ?itb sixteen, and by Saluda and
Sumter with fourteen each, the pro?
portion for these four counties being
very far above the average for the re?
maining counties It is an evil pre?
eminence for the counties, named of
course, and the Sumter Item naturally
and properly deplores the advertisement
so given to the conn ty which it repre?
sents, and is disposed to fiod some faolt
with us for not giving oertain details
which would have modified in a way
the bsd impression which it is cal?
culated to produce as to the conditions
in the State. We cannot do better for
oar parp?se thso to quote the Item's
remarks on the subject in full.
% 7%,
We need say only, in reply to these
general suggestions snd reflections, thal
the exhibit was not of our making, it
was compiled, as was carefully explain?
ed when it was printed, from the only
official data that was accessible for the
purpose-the reports of the solicitors
on file in the Attorney General's office.
It was also noted that the great major?
ity of the homicides were known to
have been committed by negroes. That
the "particulars" in each case, as to the
color of the slayers, and the circum?
stances of the crime, were not given
was solely due, as was also duly stated,
to the fact that these particulars were
not obtainable from the officiai reports
on which the exhibit was based. And
it was further noted that the return
were "incomplete,1' as two of the
solicitors bad refused or failed to report
the cases io their respective circuits,
and that the information which was
desired could not be obtained from offi?
cial sources The task of compilation,
said oor Colombia correspondent in tbe
introduction to the exhibit, "bas beeo
a most tedious and vexations" one, "be?
cause of the lack of records, and the
apparent indifference to requests for
information." "I have written and
telegraphed for data," be added "and
the tables given are ss correct as they
can be made at this time," and in the
circumstances of their preparation. It
is not the faolt of The News and Cou?
rier, as the Item must see, that we did
not give the interesting and important
details it missed and suggests should
have been given. They were not print?
ed because they could not be obtaioed
With this explanation of the partial
character of ?tba reoord, it is interest?
ing and instructive to nota, the Item's
analysis of the reoord for Sumter
Oounty.
"Grant Davis, colored, was killed in
a free fight at an Emancipation celebra?
tion by Simon Cooper, colored. Ben?
jamin Wilson, Wesley Wilson and Mrs.
Wesley Wilson, all white, killed by
Simon Cooper, colored. Motive sop
posed to have robbery and a desire to
escape from officers who had been
pursuing him for the murder of
Grant Davis. Preston Smith, col?
ored, killed by Simon Cooper, colored,
while escaping from the scene of the
Wilson murder. Simon Cooper, color?
ed, lynched by a mob of white people.
Henry Cooper, colored, killed by Jobo
W. McCoy, white. Verdict of coroner's
jury, justifiable homicide, as Cooper
attacked McCoy after having made
threats on several occasions to kill bim.
McCoy did not shoot Cooper with in?
tent to kill, but in the thigh, and he
did not die from the effects of the wound
until several weeks had elapsed. Jerry
Mack, colored, killed by Jobo Bl ay
look, colored, while at work io a field.
Mack was the aggressor and bad the
reputation of being a desperate man.
Blay look was acquitted after a fair trial.
Jim Boone, colored, killed by Henry
Carter, colored. Carter was convicted
of morder, with a recommendation to
the mercy of the Court. Penitentiary
for life. Harvey Taylor, colored,
killed by Ljmus Williams, colored,
who was acquitted on the plea of in?
sanity. Ben H. Hill, white, killed by
Ben Britton, white, in a row about
Hill's wife. Britton fled the -country
and is still at large. Aleck Hayns
wortb, colored, killed by Henry Bar?
rows, colored, with a billet of wood.
In jail awaiting trial. J. W. Lee,
white, killed by Charles Williams, a
trusted negro servant, robbery tbe mo?
tive. In jail awaiting trial. Miogo
Thompson, colored, killed by uoknown
parties. George Elliott and Wallace
Brown, both negroes, io jiil under
suspicion."
We reprint so much of tbe Item's
article as a matter of justice to Sumter
County, and for the sake of the import?
ant fact it emphasizes so strongly, that
the white people of the State are sub?
ject by the criminal record of the State
to a measure of coodemostion which
does not justly attach to them. Four?
teen homicides are credited to Sumter
County by the reoord of the year, aod
of this number, ts is seen, ten were
certainly committed by colored men.
Of the remaining four one was com?
mitted by "unknown ' parties" probab?
ly colored. Of the remaining three,
one was the lynching of the fiend
Cooper, who was killed at the time of
his arrest with the blood of three white
people and two colored people whom
be bad murdered in detail, fresh on bis
bands. Of the remaining two cases
one was tbe killing of a white man by
a oolored man, and the other the kill
iogofa white man by a white man.
In the whole list, it is to be noted,
there are only two oases of the killing
of colored men by white meo-one of
the&e cases being that of the lynching
of (looper-aud only one of the killing
of a white man by a black mao. In ali
the rest (be slayer was colored and the
victims were both whiro and colored
It is a most instructive showing that
the Irem has made in behalf of (be
white people of Sumter County and it
goes very far to enforce the suggestion
we have urged on the State authorities
that some effective steps should be
taken to secare a similarly complete
record for the State at large. Too
many homicides are committed by white
meo io the State, undoubtedly We
should not, however, accept and bear
the condemnation of the world for the
very maoy which we do not commit.

Why Modern Bricks Are
Hollow.
The use of paper in the manufac?
ture of high grades of bricks for in
terior housework, trimmings, facings
and for decorative purposes is evi?
dently much on the increase. Al?
ready so m a very good samples of
enameled paper brick have been
shown. In the latest process of
making and enameling the paper bricks
the bricks are made on the hollow prin?
ciple The object of making the
brick hollow is practically the same
as sought in the making of hollow
forged steel shafting:. Not only is a
defective center removed, but it is
possible to put a mandrel into the
hollow, and by applying pressure
the walls are operated upon both
from the inside and the outside
When a solid body is heated, the
temperature of the in ten er always va
ries from that of the outer portion at
first, often resulting in an expansion
of one or the other that causes defects.
For these reasons the plan of form?
ing the bricks upon the hollow priu*
ciple, plugging them afterward, is re?
commended. Sawdust is found to be
a good filler. It is first fireproofed,
as is also the paper pulp used in the
bricks. Then it is mixed with cern
ent and pressed into the hollow of the
bricks, smoothed and enameled over,
making a perfect shape.-Philadel?
