The Edgefleld Democracy,

The proposition which has been made
to change the constitution of the Edge
field Democracy provides that the party
shall be organized into primary clubs,
each club to have not less than fifty
bona fde active members. No man shall
belong to two clubs at the same time.
Each club shall keep a complete roll of
its members, duplicate of which shall
be filed with the County Executive
Committee, and all new members shall
be certified to the Committee before they
shall be entitled to representation in any
County Convention. Each club shall
make rules for its Own government. A
majority of all the members of each
primary club shall be necessary to con.
stitute quorum for the election of del
egates to the County Conventions and
each club shall be entitled to one dele
gate for every ten members. The County
Executive Committee shall consist Of
one member from each club and shall
have power to call the County Conven.
tions of the party. The County Con-
yentions shall have the power to nomi.
nate candidates for Office, by q vira voce
vote. 1t is said that under this constitu-
tion the County Conventions will be
composed of about 300 members, all to
be elected on the same day, and by a
majority of all the votes of the County.
Such body ought to give fair and
impartial reflection of the popular will.
1t is also said this plan is to save large
amount of time, trouble and expense to
the people and candidates.

Respited For Fifty.Seyen Years.

WILMINGTON, DEL March 1.-THE
Governor of this State is not empowered
by law to commute a death sentence to
Imprisonment for life, but he can do the
next best thing, as he did to-day for
Lewis F. List. On the 9Th Of September
last List lived in the same house in this
city with Mrs. Dean, with whom he
quarreled about the payment of bis rent
and assaulted her quite rudely. George
Taylor, her nephew, interfered, knocked
List down and began beating him. Lists
father interferred and the quarrel for the
time was ended, but it was renewed later
in the day, when List shot Taylor, inaict-
ing mortal wound. Lists father was
with him at the time. Immediately
after the shooting young List ran away.
He was stopped by Huge Stewart, buthe
used his pistol again and the ball grazed
Stewards head. The old man then ar
rived and Stewart released the murderer,
who fed with his father to the home of
the latter, where both were afterwards
arrested. The prisoners were tried at tie
November term of Court, when Louis F.
List was found guilty of murder in the
first degree and sentenced to be hanged.
Lewis List, the father, was found guilty
in the second degree and sentenced to
imprisonment for life. The Governor
was appealed to in young LISTS behalf
and to-day granted reprieve until
Friday, May 2, 1910. He is now twenty
five years of age and if be lives out the fif:
ty.seven years allotted him, another brief
respite will probably enable him to die
in peace.

The Negro Problem.

WASHINGTON, March l4.-Leading
Southern Congressman have been sub.
jected during the past week to series Of
questions tending to show what steps
should be taken regarding he negro
problem. Among those askeu to give an
opinion we're Senators Butler and
Hampton of South Carolina, and Col
quit of Georgia. These gentlemen
thought the question one which could
not be settled definitely by any law, but
must be left to regulate itself. All at
tempts to neddle with the question had
hitherto proven futile, and agitation at
this time did not promise any better re-
suits in allaying the evil complained of.
No one could say what would be the
course proper to be pursued, and the
only reply that could be returned was to
let it alone.
Judge Hugh L. Bond during q recent
sojourn here said to your correspondent
that when he visited South Carolina
again he would devote his attention TO
civil cases, and not political as hereto.
fore. Too much time had been wasted
in the consideration of the latter class OF
cases, and the over. crowded docket OF
civil cases must be relieved. This will
be good news to the people of South
Carolina and-of the entire section pre-
sided over by Judge Bond, for in the
past the election trials have merely de.
generated into farces which expended
money without giving any practical re-
suits. Special to the Ne1Us and Courier.

A Fearful Mining Disaster.

PETERSBURG, VA, March 13.-Intcl
ligence has just been received here of a
terrible explosion in the coal mines Of
the Southwest Virginia Improvement
Company at Pocahontas, Tazewell Coun.
ty, in this State, which occurred this
morning at l o'clock. These mines are
worked by joint stock company COM
posed mostly of Northern capitalists.
There we're one hundred ar fifty men
in the mine at the time of the explosion,
not one of whom is believed to have
escaped. Those who were not killed
outright by the terrible force Of the ex:
plosion most likely perished from the
after. damp. 1t is presumed that the
cause of the explosion was that one of
the miners struck 6ssure filled with
gas. Several parties ventured into the
mines this morning, but could not long
endure the foul atmosphere. A number
of bodies were discovered horribly
mangled, some of them with the heads
torn from the trunks and others with
limbs all gone, present an appalling
spectacle. The work of destruction was
not confined entirely to the interior
of the mines, but houses 200 or 300 feet
removed from the mines were overturned
and in several instances entirely demol-
ished. The large ventilator of the South
west Improvement Company was blown
to atoms, and the mines cannot be en-
tered until another is constructed for
the purpose of freeing the atmosphere of
sufocatiug fumes. This work is now
progressing speedily. A large fore is
engaged on the outside of the mines

arrangements for the interment of the
dead miners, most Of whom are foreign

Carolina, Chicago and Cumberland Gap.

The officers of the Louisville and
Nashville deny that their company is to
aid in the construction of the Carolina,
Cumberland Gap and Chicago Railway,
and so we must take for granted that, if
the latter is to be built, it will be done
independently.
1t will be remembered that this new
road was intended to begin at Aiken, S.
c., with a spur to Augusta, and extend
in a North Westerly direction to Lexing-
ton, KY, where connection was to be
made with the several lines which centre
there. Its course lies through the rich
cotton districts oflSouth Carolina, the
forests of the Blue Ridge Mountains and
the extensive iron and coal fields of
Eastern Tennessee and Kentucky. Such
line ought to be made to pay, for it
would open up valuable section of
country which would give a large local
traffic. =
tits not probable that all of the pro-
posed line will ever be constructed, for it
would be sufficient to build from the
junction With the Louisville and Nash
Vile at London, Kentucky, and then in
connection with that road and the South
Carolina Railway, an air line would be
formed between Louisville and Charles.
ton.
Although, in the present instance, says
the St. Louis Railway Register, the re-
port of the alliance with the Louisville
and Nashville seems to be unfounded, it
is not altogether improbable that this
great company may ultimately conclude
that to aid in the building of the new
road would not be unwise. To us, such
an extension of its lines would appear to
be, if undertaken at the right time, a
profitable undertaking.

A Uniform Chosen for tile Volunteers.

COLUMBIA, March 1.-THE commits
sion appointed to select and prescribe
general uniform for the State Volunteer
troops has completed its work and adj
iourned. The specifications for the uni.
forms have not been fully committed to
writing yet and are very long, but the
following covers the ground: Privates
will wear gray suits of the United States
army regulation cut. Officers will wear
gray coats and dark blue trousers. Off
GERS and men alike will wear helmets.
The generals only will adhere to the
chapeau. The uniforms will have
facings according to the different arms Of
the service-infantry black, cavalry yell
low and artillery red. The shoulder
knots will be of the regulation United
States pattern. In all respects the cut
and finish of the uniforms will conform
as closely as possible to the United
States regulation style.
The uniform adopted will be simple
and inexpensive, but at the same time
soldierlike aud sufficiently attractive.
The coat for privatcs' uniforms will vary
from IS to S14, according; to the quality
of the material used. Of course each
command can select its own cloth for
uniforms. The commission has done its
work quickly and we'll. While our
soldiery will not be as gaily clad as many
now are, they will have the consolation
of being saved from great expense by the
adoption of a really uniform uniform

4 Marlboro Mystery.

On the night of March 1st Mr.. Joel
Coving and bis son had occasion to make
a search for missing hog. They wait
ed until pretty late and everybody had
gone to rest. Leaving but little fire at
home, they went out into the darkness
and proceeded some distance, when sud.
denly they saw bright light at home
which appeared to be held up as if for
signal for their return. Knowing that
they left but little fire at home and not
being able to account for this singular
light on the front piazza, they turned
their steps, and the young man hurried
on ahead, the father following after.
Mr.. G. states that his son had got but q
short distance ahead of him when sud-
denly there appeared bright light in his
face, and his beard and coat sleeves seem.
ed to be on FIRE. He rapidly rubbed
both beard and sleeves and succeeded in
putting out the light. He says it was
raining at the time, and he was not the
least bit excited. He says, furthermore,
that when he reached the house and
asked about the light in the piazza, no
one knew anything about it, nor had
they seen or heard any one around.-

A Free Trade Dinner.

NEW YORK, March 15.-The sixth
annual dinner of the New York Free
Trade Club was held at Delmonico's this
evening. Some of the responses to the
toasts were as follows: "Our Federal
Union"-John G.. Carlisle. Equality

prospect of tariff reform, free trade and
better times"-David A. Wells. "Fed-

"Fallacies of legislation"-Prof. N. G..

The tables were full. Guests from va.
rious parts of the country had gathered
in the hope of hearing John G. Carlisle,
the Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives, say something on the principles
that gave the Club its name.
President Everett P. Wheeler welcom-

in condemning the action of the German
Chancellor in refusing to transmit this
resolution to the Reichstag." He said
that another encouraging fact is the re-
port on the Morrison bill. "It is step
forward, and we welcome it."
Mr.. Carlisle was the next speaker.
When he arose every man in the room
stood up and cheered again and again.
Mr.. Carlisle made speech that was evil

COunterfeiters ut Work.

The Secret Service Division of the
Treasury Department reports that it is
believed that counterfeiters are concert
ing measures to simultaneously pass upon
the public, especially in the cities of the
South and West, counterfeit twenty dol
lar silver certificates. A sample of the
same has just been received at the Office
of the Secret Service Division. The
issue is of the "Seres of 1SSO-James
Gilfllan, Treasurer Of the United States"
The paper is thick, greasy and stiff. The
note is one.eighth of an inch shorter
than the genuine. There is no distribu-
ted fiber or parallel silk threads in the
paper, as in the genuine. The words
"Silver Certificate = appear in panels
twice in the upper border on the face Of
the note. In the panel to the left in .he
counterfeit the letters "R, ar" and "F"
in the word Certificate" are engraved
wrong side up. In the counterfeit there
are no periods dividing the initials in B.
K. Bruce (the Registers signature) on
the lower left corner check, the letter
&c" is without an accompanying num-
ber, and in the name "Gilfllan" only
the first 81" is dotted On the back Of
the note the word "Texas" is plainly
spelled "Tares" and the word engraved"
is spelt "engravad." The color
of the seal is brick red; it should
be verging on brown. The fore
going salient points, if carefully noted,
will for the present protect the public,
while the note should not deceive careful
handlers of money, especially when the
gemetrie lathe work is examined yet
among the hurried and careless, because
of its fair appearance, it may work great
damage.

The German Chancellor.

ST. LOUIS, March 14.-The Westliche
Post publishes extracts from the official
dispatch of Bismarck to the German con-
suls in the United States in regard to
the prohibition of American pork. Bis.
marck iDstructs the consuls to do every
thing in their power to cultivate friendly
relations between Germany and the Uni.
ted States. He says the prohibition of
American pork arose altogether from
sanitary reasons and has no unfriendly
character whatever, and intimates it
would be to the interest of the United
States to adopt such sanitary measures
as exist in Europe, and thereby put
Germany in a position to permit the i'm
portation of American pork. The dis.
patch shows conclusively that the Ger.
man Chancellor does not want to pro-
woke retaliation, but it is his aim to pre-.
serve friendly relations between Germany
and the United States.
