COLUMBIA. S. c., Dec. 12.-Yester-
day was doomsday in the United
States Court and the Barrett conspira-
tors got their sentences.
When court met yesterday morning
with Judge Brawley on the bench, Az
torney Blythe for G. P. Barrett arose
10 make motion for a new trial. Be
fore he proceeded 70 argue the motion
District Attorney Murphy made the
point that Attorney Blythe had not
complied with rule 35 of the district
court, applying to motions for new
trial and that therefore nomosion could
be entertained. Judge Brawley said
that under strict construction of the
rule he would have to dismiss the mo-
ton, but taking all things into consid-
Grafton he would hear the motion.
The hearing was fixed for some later
day and Will be heard in Charleston.
In the case against Jackson Counts,
ex-postmaster, Judge Brawley dis
missed the motion of Messrs. Aston &
Patton in arrest of judgment on the
ground of improper drawing of the
jury. Judge Brawley held that the ju-
ries were properly drawn. Mr. Aston
gave notice of filing an exception to
the ruling of Judge Brawley and the
case will 60 up.
Judge Brawley then called on Jack
son Counts ''to stand up" and asking
him how long he had been in jail, and
Counts replying nearly seven weeks,
Judge Brawley sentenced him to two
months Imprisonment in Richland
county jail and the payment of a fine
of 800, for Illegally disposing of
stamps.
Judge Brawley then called upon
Chas. P. Barrett, j. Wesley Owens,
John T. Tillman, Rc5t J. McElwraith,
Thomas j. Hanon and Clarence Lee to
stand UP. Owens was at home sickin
bed. Tillman is fugitive, somewhere
in Texas. All but Tillman and Barrett
and two others, who are still fugitives,
Thompson and Hatcher. will likely be
pardoned by the President, having
turned States evidence.
Judge Brawley sentenced the men,
who were tried and convicted as fol-
lows:
Barrett, is months Imprisonment in
Columbus, o., penitentiary and fine
of 50, 500; Hanon, 6months, and afine
of $1,000; McElrath, same; Lee, 3
months and fine of 81, 600.

A good story is told Of young re.
cruit who enlisted in a regiment of foot
The young fellow joined the army while
the country was threatening war with
Egypt, and he intended To make good
soldier One day he was on guard duty
and was slowly stepping along when
an officer approached.
After the usual salute the officer said,
LET me see your rifle. !"
The raw recruit handed over his rife,
and pleased expression stole over his
face. As the officer received the weapon
he said in a tone of the deepest disgust:
you're fine soldier You've given
up your rifle, and now what are you GO
fng to do:" The young fellow turned
pale, and putting his hand in his pocket
drew big knife, aud preparing for bust
ness said in avoicc that could not be
misunderstood:
"Gi' me that rife. or I'll bore hole

The officer instantly decided not TO

The Pacific Coast Borax company's
mine. about eleven miles northeast Of
Daegett, in the Calico range, is at pres
ent the only one in the world producing
mineral from which boracic acid is de-
rived in large quantities. The supply
Of the mineral, which is taken ont in a
crystallzsd state, ia apparently mex
haustible, and the company is enabled,
by judicious management, to control
the market price of this commodity
over the entire globe.
The result of the recent development
OF the Shadow mountain prospects is a
proof OF the statements which we have
been emphasizing, which was to the
effect that the richest mines in the
southwest lay in or contiguous to the
camp OF Vanderbilt. A. Blair, who
came in from Shadow mountain Sunday,
brought as some specimens of ore from
his claims that are really beautiful. The
ore is bright, live, sparkling quartz,
in which the gold is plainly visible,
some of 1t being very coarse. The rock
must be exceedingly rich. Mr. Blair
tells us that J. B. Smith, who has a FIVE
stamp mill about 18 miles from Shadow
mountain. will remove it to Valley
Wells, which is only about six miles
from the mines, and will work ore for
the Shadow mountain miners for few
months, pending the contamination of
deal for the mill. The company COM

known among his companions as

his abdominal development, was PLAIN
and outspoken in his demands to one
of the keepers.

UNDOUBTEDLY the ticket specu-

not appear to have any reason for
serious complaints on the score of
theirown profits. The Yale Harvard
game at Springfield netted $27, 600
and the Yale Princeton game in New

half Of these sums, which puts her eX-

THE warfare recently inaugurated
by California women against gross
sensationalism in newspapers is
prompted by laudable motives. The
petition they are circulating declares
that the "spreadng broadcast of
vicious and debasing news in our
homes, aud among our children, and
the consequent knowledge and easy
familiarity with crime in all its
forms, have a tendency TO lower the
tone of thought among the best of
our people and to strengthen the
worst instincts among the masses"
The women who have started this
movement hope to be able to create
a sentiment that will demand the
exclusion of Objectionable details of
crime and scandal from all news
papers. Wholesome as the attain
ment of this object void be, the
task will encounter serious obstacles.
There are very few newspapers that
do not have clientage Of their own.
The character Of that clientage mOlds
the character of their news columns.
All newspapers do not deal in "viciOus
and dehasing" sensati0nalism. Some
papers, for example, studiOusly keep
their columns free of such matter.
They aims TO earn the favor and sup
port of intelligent, clearminded and
selfreSpectiDg readers. There are
newspapers that pursue a different
pOli,v. These seek a constituency of
different mental tastes and moral
standards. SOlong as such newspapers
find countenance and profit they are
not likely to pursue different course,
Instead of attempting prOmscuOuSly

papers of the United States, the
women engaged in the present move
ment should admit 10 their homes
