Sheriff Nance and tho Governor.

: In former years no man shouted more
for Tillman, and no man worked more
zealously for his election, than did
Capt. F. w. r. Naneeaf this county.
When he got into Office Governor
Tillman ordered him to levy on the
railroad trains. Sheriff Nance straight
way did the unlawful thing under the
orders of his chief.
The Governor afterwald paid the
fines Of the other Sheriffs who had
done as Sheriff Nance did, but con-
cluded to let his most enthusiastic
friend in Abbeville paddle his OWE
canoe. He let the fine of Sheriff Nance
stand against him, and we believe the
Governor intends to makean exception
in his case.
The Governor thinks that be is justi-
fed in going back on his old friend,
because he purged himself of contempt
of court.
At best the Office of Sheriff is not 9
desirable one, and when the Governor
repudiates his old friend, and sends
him stinging kilograms, the official
plum that fell to Sheriff Nance is not
Of the most palatable kind.

Cheering Prospects.
boston Transcript.

The anthropologists say that SOC
years hence man will be far more intel
.lectual than be is now. He will be
more vigorous physically, and will en-
joy a longer life, because be is making
a study of health laws.
The female of his species will be
handsomer, because life will be more
easy for her. Comfort and ease are the
conditions which produce beauty IN
woman; savage women are almost
never pretty even in youth because they
work hard and live roughly.
Through the aid of the telegraph and
modern means of rapid locomotion man
has become almost independent of time
and space. The earth is now what he
chooses to make it. If lands are nop-
productive, fertilizes them. If the
climate is not suitable for growing
products of the soil which he requires,
he alters it by conserving the solar heat
under glass.
1t is not unlikely that substantially
all the northern part Of New Jersey
will at no distant day be under a glass
roof for the purpose of supplying New
York with vegetables, fruits and foW-
erS.

L.yELLE,s FATE DOUBTFUL.
Part Of the Commission Declares HIM
Responsible and the Other Part
Disaerees.
GJourn al, Nav 10TH


The report OF the commission ap-
pointed by the Governor to investigate
the mental conditfen of Napoleon La
yelle, now under sentence Of death for
the murder of his wife, in Charleston,
was made public to-day.
There are two reports, a minority
and majority, together with report by
DR.. Babcock. The latter is based upon
the reports of the commissioners aud
his previous investigation of the case.
The mojority report is signed by Drs.
A. Memminger, P. G. DeSaussure and
G. II. Tucker, and says that they find
after investigation and examination
into the mental condition of Lavelle
that he is subject to mental diathesis
which at times causes him to act in a
very eccentric manner, and to cause
doubts of bis mental responsibility, but
after due deliberation they conclude
that he is not mentally irresponsible.
The minority report is signed by Drs.
C. r. Tabor, chairman, and T. K.
McGahan, and reports the same mental
diathesis, and further concludes that
he is not mentally responsible.
DR.. Babcock reports that, after care
full consideration, he has concluded that
Lavelle's mental responsibility is seri-
ously affected by the cause hereiubefore
set forth.
Governor Tillman has discharged the
commission and DR.. Babcock from
further action in the case, but says that
he does not know what his decision
will be in the case. .....

11e I-2 MILES AN HOUR.
Engine 900 of the New York Central
Makes q Mile in Thirsy-two Seconds.

BUFFALO, May 1.-THE New York
Central's new engine, No. e9e, which
is to be exhibited at the Worlds Fair,
has made a record Of 1l2! miles an
hour. On Tuesday the Empire State
express. drawn by this marvellous
machine, made l02 miles an hour, a
great record in itself, but Engineer
Charles Hogan said she was not feeling
well that day and could do better.
After nights rest hereshe was brought
out yesterday and sent down to Syra-
cuse for another trail. The Empire
State express arrived in Syracuse on
time. and No. 999 was coupled on and
the train left Syracuse on time. Hogan
let her out few times on the way to
Rochester, but he did not want to get
ahead Of his schedule, and he brought
her into the Rochester depot on time.
The test of speed was to come be-
tween Rochester and this city. Soon
after leaving Rochester Hogan slowed
her down a little, for he intended to
make up the time at the western end
of the stretch. Passing Batavia the
train was rushing along at an easy gait
of mile minute. Then Hogan let
her out. The speed increased as the
engine few along, and just before reach
ing Crittenden the record Of Tuesday
of a mile in IS seconds was equalled.
But this was exceeded just this side Of
that station, when the new worlds
record of mile in 80 seconds was made.
This is equivalent to 1123 miles an
hour, A speed nearly as great was
kept up until Forks Station was reached
and then Hogan slowed her down and
allowed her to enter Buffalo at her
customary speed, arriving on time.
The passengers on board said that
the train few along with the same
steadiness that would have accompa-
MED slower rate Of speed. There
was no unusual swaying or jolting,
and only persons who were looking
out for manifestations of extraordinary
speed would have noticed that the
clikety-click of the rails sounded like
the roar of musketry and the telegraph
poles along the track seemed like
pickets in fence.

The Florida Railroad Commission VIII
Not be Ke-established.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, May ll.-At an
exciting session of the State Senate last
evening, the bill providing for the re-
establishment of State railroad COM
mission was under discussion for nearly
three hours, and was finally defeated
=hy a vote of Is to 10.
A similar bill is under discussion in
the House, and may possibly pass that
body, but it is thought no measure OF
this kind can get through the Senate.
For three weeks past strong railroad
lobby has been here working against
the bill.
