THE MURRAY CAKE. Former hV nhtOff Ma*>u. of Iiiiii Um, Protect Against Murray's Extradi? tion. The County Board of Commlssion era la In rece ;A of a letter from form er Senator \V,111am B. Mason, of Chi? cago, ore teat log against the issuance of requlsltl ?n for <)eor*e W. Murray. Mr. Mason, v. ho says that he writes as the friend of Murray and not as his ; ttorncy. bases his protest against th* extradition of Murray on the around that Murray was never properly convicted, that two of the prosecuting witnesses, James Chat man and Sclpio Chatman, have ad? mitted since the trial that they were bribed to testify against Murray, that Murray paid "$3.000 as a fine ' and that it waa understood that if he paid this "fine" he would be left undisturbed wherever he saw fit to make his h >me beyond the borders of South Carolina. He says further that Murray waa atrlped of his pro? perty as a result of the trial and con? viction and reduced to poverty. He also charges that the effort to bring him back to South Carolina to serve his sentenoe has been promoted by negroes in Chicago, who have borrow? ed the little money Murray had left and now seek to escape repayment by having him sent to the penitentiary. He asks that the board of commis? sioners consider the matter carefully before taking steps to have the requ? isition for Murray Issued. Accom? panying the letters are two affidavits ?one by Jamea Chatman. stating that Murray had been wrongfully con? victed, the other by Hampton Peters stating that Selplo and Jamea Chat? man had told him that they were paid $101 to testify against Murray. t DBTROIT WIMS PENNANT. ladetphU Lost Twice, and Race is Settled.

Favored r.o&lon Where They Futteu Stock on Fiekl Peas. Seven years ago, a farm r In the San Luis Valley, Co!., r< ad In an agricultural bulletin that he picked up by chance, that sowing Meld peas on land the fertility of which had I been sapp.d by frequent grain crops v. us a good way to replenish th soil. : Ho followed the directions ubout j planting them In one biff wheat field, but he was bury v/hen the vin s were J green and they were not ploughed . under as they should have been. In- I stead, w hen h ? got around to It they I had grown to full size and wer;; cov- ? ered with ripe peas. The farmer scratched his head i about and decided that the only way ] I to avoid having a forest of peavin I the next year was to turn sheep into th> field and let them feast. The sheep took to the new fodder and the poas with a relish, and in a short j time tfcf f:.rmer found them ready , max kit. I H. took the hint, and from that ac j cldental discovery has grown a new I .r.duntry that is more profitable than | even alfalfa growing in the weit? Tatthrwere tried on the peas and t'.ioy .iked them as well as the sheep. H )g were equally pi ased. Peas being rich In protein , very aoon spoil unCer hot and damp condi? tions, and the need of a dry climate and cool -weather, mst only by the j Cclorado table lands in the high alti t ides, giving the farmers of the fav? ored region a monopoly of a new for? age that is extrem ly proAtable. Ey its use the Colorado farmer can pro? duce his beef, mutton or pork at one third the coat of fattening stock in the corn belt, and wh.n he gets to market he finds that he gets even better prices than for stock fed on corn. The western packers pay a premium of a dollar a hundred for pi a fed hogs over the corn fed, while pea fed lambs and pea fed beef top the market at all times. A rush to take up the limited amount of land aavllable for this kind of pasture followed the discov? ery, and It now brings as much as $100 an acre. In five year* it is pre? dicted the land wUl be worth $200 an acre. On the Colorado plateaus it If spring all summ r, so far as the mercury ke is the record, and an amazing amount of the forage plant is raised on an -acre. The sunshine keep* away th? mould, and the vines Instead of growing black cur,- Into a swe^t htiy. The result is that the tanner has on his field in the fall tin equivalent in feed value of fifty or m?r,' bushels of corn to the acre anf? two or thnee tons of hay. ^he stock is turned into the field in the fall and there Is no harvesting necessary. The field p a belongs to that clasp of plants that enrich Ahe soil by with? drawing from the air the nitrogenous element n.cessary to growing farm products and store it in tat roots. K uh .war that peas are planted mak? l the Held rieher, und t?\ ?> years of pna growing will almost entirely rOBtOro a depleted field. Th a success of the now discovery hn.?. kd the scientists of the Statt? agrx'iltural college to take up the' v.oeation of scientific cuiture. and by careful selection it is expected to in? crease the yield to from 7 5 to l<?w '.?ushels of shelled pe*a:- to the aero, This means that two or tare ? time? I mar.y hogs can be pastured on an I Off as in uny of the Mg hoj, gTOWlOl J States of the middle WOtt, Experiments have proved th it a bushel of peas will put on as much pork as a bushel and a third 0{ corn.

Iliese siio\v the Transactions, the Ex Dispensary Director's Brother Fig? uring in the Transfers?Early Con? tributes to Clack's Election. Columbia, Sept. 30.?Good progress was made in the John Black dispen? sary graft trial today, but the Indica? tions today are that it will not get to the jury before Saurday morning. It was still the prosecution's day for scoring and some interesting testi? mony was introduced, the first from the liquor drummer, John T. Early, mentioned in the indictment as' hav? ing bribed Major Black and who has turned State's evidence, and next by employees of the National Bank of Savannah and the Bank of Colleton. It ws shown that Black during the spring summer and fall of 1906, and in the spring and sumemr of 1907 de? posited a total of over $16,000, this by the detailed deposits lips, and that right after this he transferred most of th's to Colleton, using his brother, Henry W. Black, Jr. The transfer was ahown by Black's own checks r.nd drafts. Then this was further certified by the bank's ledger. The Colleton Bank's records show? ed John Black making drafts on Henry W. Elack, from Columbia and the latter paying them at Colleton with drafts on Ullman & Co., and on M. A. Goodman. Early testified to letting Black have money to get elected, and that he paid him commissions on orders af? terward, paid him about $6,000 in all. Elack came to him before his elec? tion and told him he was hard up. Early complained of not getting or? ders from the former board, and Black told him not to worry, that he would see he got orders when he (Black) ght elected. He got the or? ders and paid the commissions. The cross-examination was direct? ed to showing that Black was indebt? ed to Goodman for loans, and as there had been a quarrel between Goodman and B'?Ck about p*y com? ing to him when Black was employed by Goodman at $300 a month before he was on th? board, and a-as bor? rowing money from Early to pay Goodman. Th- State replied with the showing that Black had plenty of money on deposit at Savannah, and was still collecting money from Goodman. The defense brought out that the account of Fleischmann, represented by Ear? ly, was being held up by the State to the amount of $71),000. and Early's testimony was given in the hope not only of escaping prosecution, but ef having this claim released. Rurly testified tte had been promi? sed immunity. Early said the orders on which commissions were paid were at the seme price to the Stato ax it no rebates or commissions had bawn paid. The State did not get an opportunity to disprove thta. THE FOItEST Sl'HVEY OF THE STATE. The Federal Forestry Bnrr.au to Con? duct the Work. Columbia, Sept. 30.?A forestry survey of the State will be made ac? cording to a letter received today from the associate forester of the goverur nt by Goveruor Ansel. It was stated in the letter to the Gover? nor that Mr. W. M. Moore, of the forestry service, wound leave Wash? ington today and would arrive in Co? lumbia tomorrow* and asked for a eont'-erenee with the Governor. South Carolina will give $200 towards the work, and thg government will fur? nish the other funds required. All sections of the State will be touched in the work. It is probable, and a typical example is, that several streams in the Pieumont section Of the State will be given attention most closely. A survey has b( an asked for that section of Spartanburg County forming the watershed of the PacOlet River,, fro determine the possibility Of controlling the flood waters of that stream by ret'orestration of the sec? tion and by building reservoirs below the junction of North an South Paco let to take care of the flood waters. Similar requests have come from other sections of the Piedmont coun? try. Should the purvey be made it would in all probability make it pos? sible for the manufacturing plants of thai section, not only to bene?t them? selves establishing such reservoirs, but In time to add materially to the prosperity of the low countrj by sav? ing them from the disastrous floods which 'M recent years have visited them almosl annually, have rendered ol no avail tbe fertile lands which in form? r years contributed so largely to tin- prosperity of that section. The matter or reforestation h;is b(. n agltati d very little In I bis state and should it come about in connec? tion with the forestry survey the en? tire State v ould be benefited. ?Kail colds are quickly cured by Fo ley'p Honey and Tar, the meat throat and lung remedy, The genuine con? tains no harmful drugs. Slbert's Drug Store, MISTRIAL FOR BLACK. IX DISCRETIONS OF JURORS CAUSE TIIK ABRUPT BMP. Memminger Doesn't Believe There's Anything Corrupt in Actions of Black Jury, But Desire? to Protect Interests of .Justice?Carpenter and Constable Clash at Hotel. Columbia, Oct. 1.?To an abrupt, unexpected and sensational end came the trial this morning of ex-Dispen? sary Director John Black for bribery. Judge Memminger ordering a mistrial after an investigation which showed that the jury had been communicated with in two serious particulars. He held Juror J. D. Perry, a meat market man, and his clerk, C. M. Dorn, who had a talk last night concerning busi? ness matters, Juror Perry hailing Mr. Dorn as the latter was passing under the window at Wright's Hotel, where the jury was confined. He suspend? ed sentence against them until he could make up his mind just what punishment to mete out to them. The remainder of the jury he al? lowed to go temporarily without pay j until he could make up his mind just I what to do with regard to them. The Investigation disclosed that the communication last night between Dorn and Perry was probably entirely free from any corrupt intent on the part of either, but as the judge's ques? tioning of jurors this morning pro? ceeded a still more serious matter came to light; that the first morning after the trial began, Thursday morn? ing, one of the jurors got a newsboy to throw a copy of The State (news? paper) of that day up into the jury room. This paper had several articles cal? culated to influence the jury. One wa** the testimony of Wylie under big head-lines on the first page. The headlines saying "Wylie Gives Val? uable Testimony for the State." An? other was a symposium of editorials from the weekly press of the State denouncing the verdict in the Farnum case, while still another feature was cuts picturing the checks and drafts brought out by the prosecution in the Black case. It was intimated by other members of the jury that it was J. D. Perry, who. had the paper thrown up into the room, though Mr. Perry did not admit this to the judge. Mr. Perry not only communicated with Dorn, but on learning that he and young Abncy Keith, an elevator boy, at the skyscraper who had been helping; Dorn at Perry's meat market had been arrested, sent out to have Keith bailed out. Dorn spent the night in Sail. Judge Memminger on learning that Magistrate J. H. Fowies had bailed Keith out called hiin up over the 'Phone this morning and wanted to know his authority for grar.ting a man bond not under his jur.sdietion. Mr. Fowhs^said he understood jt to be his duty to grant bond, but be cer? tainly would not have interfered had he thought about the matter being in the jurisdiction of the Sessions Court alone. After computing the investi? gation which he .conducted by ex ? amining eacb of the jurors separately after putting Dorn and the bailiff through an examining. Judge Mem? minger retired to nis room and was gone about half an hour, wrestling with he situation alone. When the jury filed in the Judge addressing them expressed surpris ?, pain and regret at what had happen? ed. "i want to m ? to you, alter the in? vestigation I nu de this morning. I can not WOO but one com:- to pursue, and that is 8 mistrial of this case will have to be ordOVOfl, I do not think the matten which have been brought out show that there has been any cor? ruption among you hut thore has been serious indiscretion, and the in? discretion is such that if a verdict of guilty were rendered in t ie case, un? der the authorities, the defendant would he entitled to a new trial. "I have to look at both sides of a case, and I must look from the stand? point of the State as well as that of the defendant. If 1 allow the case to go to you. with these matters before me. as have been brought out. the Stace would have no redress whatso? ever, if you find a verdict Ol not guilty. The only thing 1 see to do is to order a mistrial of the case. "I am extremely sorry that this thing should have happened, that you should have been guilty of this in? discretion. Bvory precaution w as tak? en to se ? thfit you should bo sur rounded anil protected from outdde I influences, and that you should have every possible comfort While in atten? dance OR this case. It appears from what most of you have said that you fully realise that you ought not to be reading a newspaper in the jury room pertaining to the case, and it you bad a proper realisation of your responsi? bility, as you ought to have had, as soon as it was brought to the atten? tion of any of the jury that a news? paper was in there it sin..ild lur e been reported at once to tin- sheriff; that would have given encouragement to the belief that you did realise the responsibility which is upon you us jurors; hut none of you did that; the foreman did not communicate it to me. "It is also on account of the inci? dent which occurred last night, which I doubt if it be any more than an in? discretion on the part of the juror and on the part of the young man who had the conversation with him, but that in combination with the other matter, your having had caccess to a newspaper and reading the newspaper in your room, and notwithstanding the strict guard kept over you. these com- | binations would tend to cast suspicion on any verdict you might render, and it would not be satisfactory to any? body to have a verdict from the jury when this sort of things has happen- , ed. I "Now as to what I shall do to you i this is a matter, gentlemen, that I wtl' have to decide; it is a responsibility cast upon me. I have no hesitancy In knowing what to do with respect to the man who communicated with the juror and I shall hold him and put punishment upon him for contempt of 1 this court, and as to the juror who allowed himself to be communicated ( with, who actually did not resent the communication from the outside, but actually '.'ondoned that communica- 1 tion by immediately sending out a communication t o the bailiff, which was brought to me, asking that the man be let out on bond instead of resenting that communication, inter? ference or conversation with anybody from the outside, which undoubtedly subjects the juror to serious criticism. "As to that juror I will ask him to ?emain in the custody of the court, 1 1 will make up my mind later in the day the proper course to be pursued | with reference to him. As to the other 1 jurors, I am going to discharge you gentlemen, am going to let you go and withhold your pay certificates until I think about this matter seriously and earnestly, with a strict regard to what I ought to do in discharging my duty to the people of South Carolina In this matter. You can go, with the excep? tion of Mr. Perry, who had the com? munication; you will not get your pay certificates at the present. 1 will de? termine later on what course I will pursue in ' respect to what shall be done about your case In this matter. "The clerk will enter an order of mistrial on the record, and all jurors v. ill be discharged trom further atten? dance without pay certificates, except Juror Perry, who will remain in the custody of the sheriff. Mr. Dorn must also remain here, and I will dispose of his case. As to A. T. Keith, I do not see anything in reference to his conduct for which I can hold him re? sponsible. Tou can let him go." There has been some speculation as to what was the attitude of the jury toward the case. Several rumors were afloat last night. One was to the ef? fect that the jury stood 8 to 4 on the bribei*y charge. One intelligent juror told a reporter of The State that the jury stood 7 to S for conviction on the bribery charge and that it was even stronger for conviction on the corruption and rebate count in the in? dictment. This juror said there would never have been an acquittal. When the court took recess Thurs? day evening the prosecution announc? ed its caae closed.
