that Senator Roach, Of North Dakota,

in 1879, under a cloud, after the en-

are one and the same person. No effort

morrow's Post a two-column history of
the embezzlement and declares that
under the Revised Statutes No. 1045
there is nothing in the statutes of limit
alton which shall extend to any person
feeling from justice.
"The Post will declare that it is the
duty Of the district attorney to prepare
an indictment against Roach and prose-

Roach is defaut and declares that he
will not allow himself to be frozen out

More Sinned Against Than
Shining.

Mr.. EDITOR: I beg leave through
the columns of the dear old AD-
vERT1sER to correct very grave
mistake published by the Edge
field Chronicle and Edgefeld
Farmer some months ago, stating
that Halle Holson, ascertaining
that Mr.. w. II. Bamberg, his late
employer, was in the habit Of
carrying large sums of money on
his person, planned to rob him and
was foiled in the attempt, and that
he afterwards contented himself
with stealing his horse and buggy.
That he made no attempt to rob
him of money, we have Mr.. Bam-
berg's own written testimony;
stating that only a few, nights be-
fore Halle left his home in COM
pany with Duboise, he had every
opportunity to have robbed him of
s445, as he roomed with him that
night in Blackville, saw him count
the money, put it in his pocket,
and hang coat and vest on the bed
post, which bed they both occu-
pied. Mr.. Bamberg further.states
that he saw nothing bad in Halle
during his stay with him of one
month and eleven days; that he
was apparently a good boy, kind
hearted and faithful to his duties,
and did all in his power to please;
and that the night he left his
home in company with Duboise
was the first wrong he knew of him.
He did a grievous wrong in the
way he left Mr.. Bamberg, and for
that was sentenced to one year i'll
the penitentiafy.
The Governor ever ready to help
the suffering and penitent COM
muted the sentence to county i'm
prisonment at his er'sexpense,
and she was only too glad to keep
him from falling any lower.
Those who committed him to
jail, and those who know all the
circumstances are confident that
be will soon be pardoned, and are
doing all they can to further that
end.
May success and prosperity ever
attend this popular old paper,
which is slow to wrong any human
being. more especially one OF its
own soil.

GEENwooD COTTON MILL.
A Dividend of Seven Per Cent
Declared. The Labor Situation.

Columbia State.
GREENWOOD, May 12.-The
annaal meeting of the stockholders
of the Greenwood cotton mill was
held on the 9th instant. Capt.
w. L. burst was reelected presi-
dent. The old board of directors
were also. The mill has declared
a dividend of 6 per cent, payable
semi-annually, ,insJuly and january
Mr.. burst says the earnings for
the last twelve months were con-
siderably more, but are held as
reserve, and that this month
closes the installment feature of
the comprny.
Arrangements have been made
to place additional machinery IN
the mill, as it has never geen fully
equipped. There has never been
any trouble about getting efficient
labor, as the locality is healthy,
and are there good tenement houses
for the operatives, who are required
to be of good moral character. The
difference in running time makes
loss of productian about Z per
cent, which is the same as re-
duction in hours of labor. A
majority of the employees would
prefer returning to former hours
rather than pay rent. Some say
the company should continue the
old pay without charging rent,
which is the only change the mill
has made in the wages matter.
There would probably be more
telling had the change come in
while fuel had to be
purchased.
Employment in this mill seems
to be-a stepping stone to something
better. An employe left here a
short time ago who was getting
1925 per day to take a job at
over So, while another left this
week a 50 job to take a SO position
in spartenburg county mill.

OUR BONDS ALL RIGHT.
The Supreme Court Decides
Them Constitutional.

Columbia Journal May 18th.
The Supreme Court to-day rem
dered decision as to the validity
of the new State bonds. The court
declares them constitutional. The
title of the case was as follows:
edwin W. Robertson VS.. B. R
Tillman, as Governor, and W. T.
G. Bates, at Treasurer of the State
of South Carolina.
"This was an application to re-
strain the defendants from issuing
bonds of the State to the amount
of $5,250,000 10 the Baltimore
Trust and Guarantee Company
under the contract heretofore made
on the ground that the act of the
General Assembly, approved De-
cember %, 1892, purporting to
authorize such issue, is unconsti-
tutional and void"
The single question presented
was whether such act was uncon-
stitutional as being in violation of
the requirements of Section I,
Article TX, os the constitution of
the State and Article XVI of the
constitution.
The court says that the material
inquiry is whether such bonds to
be issued under the authority of
said act will create any new or ad-
ditional debt, as contemplated by
such sections of the constitution,
and holds that they will not do SO,
but that the same are properly
issued under the powers of the
constitution. Section 10, Article
", for the redemption of bonds
previously issued and allows "such
provision in regard to the current
interests as may be found necesaa-
ry to accomplish the purpose in
tended"
Concluding that none of the OBJ
jections urged against the act can
be sustained, the court refuses the
injunction and dismisses the petit
tion.
The opinion was rendered bp
Chief Justice McIyer and was fully
concurred in.

ARKANSAS CITY, Ark, May 15.-
The gauge reads 49.4 feet, a rise of
one-tenth in the last twenty-four
hours and is swelling. The back
water in this city has risen five
inches in the last twenty-four
hours. There is every indication
of the flood being as high as last
year. The levees in this vicinity
are getting weaker, and many per-
cons will be left in a destitute con-
dition, as there has been no crop
raised in three wears.
