H. III. Brunson, the attorney for
S1lveo, the man accused of selling H.
quOr without q license and whom JUS
tice Pope refused to release on a writ
Of habeas corpus, has served notice of
IN appeal from the decision of Justice
Pope to the whole Supreme Court.
Mr.. Brunson alleges error in the de-
cision of Justice Pope because he did
not hold that act OF 1893 was identical
with the act Of 1892, and had been
passed upon by the Supreme Court, and
second that Justice Pope erred in de-
claring the act of 1893 unconstitutional
under both the constitution of the
State and of the United States.

THE PRIMARY DEMANDED.

The People are Dissatisfied With the
COlletOn Plan and Want an Actual
Primary.
Hon. w. ID. Evans, President of the
State Farmers Alliance, sounds a note
OF warning to the Reform Committee
and expresses the opinion that the
August Convention should n t be hold.
The Columbia Register rep n'ts him as
follows:
Senator Evans was asked what, in
his opinion, would be the probable re-
suit of the uneasy feeling among Re-
formers brought about by the dissatis-
faction that the Colleton idea of having
q primary in the Reform party was
giving.
He said that the dissat' sfsction was
widespread and that the plan did not
said, to satisfy the people is to have
q general primary, which is one of the
fundamental principles of Reform and
which was adopted in the first coaven-
ton OF the party. Judging from the
result OF the Reform club meetings in
Marlboro County there will not b. TO-
600 OubOf the 10000 in the State that
will participate in the primary as sug-
gested by the Colleton idea. This Is
because the people do not like the i'll. a
and do not want the plan.
1.-THE Reform committee should eth
or call the convention off or else adopt
such uniform and simple rules ~ will
give satisfaction to the people in all the
counties.
1.-THE reason why the people are dis
satisfied with the convention plan is
because 1t is too much like going back
TO the old ring methods that prevailed
before the days of Reform. If the Re-
formers cannot elect their candidates in
a general primary they do not deserve
to win any more than the Conservatives
do If they cannot elect theirs by such
means"
Senator Evans said that the people
we're not O party to the Reform prim-
airy plan. They had nothing to do
with 1t. They did not make up the
committee nor could they be bound by
what the committee had done. The
candidates had bound themselves, but
1t was different as to the people.

The retirement of Associate Justice
Samuel MCGOWAN from the Supreme
Court of South Carolina closes q Judi
cial caree that is in all respects one
of the most honorable in the history
OF the State. Perhaps no Judge has by
his deIiverances left o more distinctive
record than that of Judge McGowan's
fourteen years service.
1t may be said that Judge McGowan's
reputation at the bar was chiefly that
OF an advocate-his powers before a
jury being of al unusually high order.
The reputation thus acquired furnish
ed no grounds for misgivings as to his
ability to do himself credit In the very
different sphere of the Judge. Indeed,
his capacity to deal with facts never
showed better than his statements of
cases, preliminary to q discussion Of the
law points involved, as they appear in
our reports. In every case these state
ment bear evidence of the utmost
pains to arrive at the truth, and to put
on record the findings underlying the
legal conclusions announced.
Nor has Judge McGowan's labor been
confined to this careful consideration
of facts. Every opinion Of his bears
the marks of q laborious study of the
law points involved, together with q
careful review of the authorities cited
In their support. In the application oil
adiudicated cases to the questions in
hand Judge MCGOWAN has shown the
discrimination which is one of the quail.
tiles of the judicial mind. Every one
Of his opinions is a finished legal paper
bearing all the marks of an industry
no less creditable than the learning Of
which they give ample proof.
Running through all these papers,
whether in the discussion Of the facts
or in tho application Of ascertained
principles of law, there is the nantes
tation Of the purpose to do justice be-
tween the parties. Indeed, one criti.
has been that they bear too much the
marks of an effort to convince the
losing party of the soundness and

Judge McGowan's manner on the
bench was most attractive. Giving
the closest attention to the arguments
he was at tho same time O model o.
courtesy when necessity arose for com
ment or interrogatory.
But above all and yet through all
were the qualities which have endear

In his retirement Judge McGowar

THE COTTON PROSPECTS.
A Prediction that the Growing Crop
Will Approximate Nine Million

balcSs
Mr.. Fl. M. Neal, the widely known
cotton statistician of New Orleans, has
issued q circular letter in which he es-
Inmates the cotton average for the
growing crop as l 1000, 900 acres, and
cotton crop, If only 10 per cent better
yield per 30 than last year, ns at
least 5000, 900 bales. In this he allows
=, 10000 for Texas, and $3.50, 600 bales
for all other states.
In putting forth these figures, Mr..
Neill qualities them by saying that it
Is impossible, at this early date, to
forecast the growing crop with certain
ty, and that while this suggestion OF
the crop is given rs a conservative cal
culation of probabilities, it must not be
forgotten that the promise today is
equal or superior to any previous crop
in every state, and hat if each state
should realize a product equal to its
previous best crop, we should have I'm
average production for the country of
acres, would give q crop of about
1900, 900 bales. OF course much may
occur to blight this brilliant prospect,
but tho conditions at present, he says,
are so good that nothing but a calami-
ty such as, with perfect conditions ut
80 late u period rarely occurs, could
bring tho crop down to even so low a
figure as $500, 900 bales.
Mr.. Neill figures that on tho basis of
an G, 1000, 600 crop. allowing American
spinne:s to take 800, 900 more in 1915
than the past year, and with European
consumption and supply from other
countries the same as during the cur
rent year, there will be left over to be
added to the visible supply more than
1000, 900 bales excess by September /,
1895, compared to September /, 1894, un-
less such u decline in prices should oc-
cur us would stimulate consumption
and induce spinner5 to carry very large
invisible stocks.

common sponge and trim it so that it
will be perfectly round when wet.
Dampen it and sprinkle with grass
seed; dampen it every day and hang
it in the sun. In few days the grass
will be green all over it, and it will
look like grass ball. Another win
dow decoration that is longer lived is
made out OF a turnip. Take a good
sized turnip and cut the root off; then
hollow it out and fill the hole with
water; hang it in the window with
the top down. The green tops will

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

Glass Bricks.-Experiments with
glass building bricks were begun in
1891 by NJ. Falconier, an architect OF
Lyons. These bricks are hollow, being
blown like bottles, and are given forms
such as cubes, hexagons, etc.,-that
permit of read laying. A bituminous
cement, with base Of asphalt, is used
with them. The bricks serve as double
windows, giving protection against
both cold and heat; they are good in-
sulators Of humidity and noise; and
they lend themselves readily to the
decoration of buildings either by their
form or their color. Many applica-
tions are foreseen. The bricks are
neater than marble in meat markets,
and are especially adapted for bath
halls, hot-houses, hospitals. refrigerat-
ing establishments, and buildings in
which absence of windows would be
an advantage. A hot-house OF glass
bricks is of about ordinary cost, saves
fuel, and resists hail.
Bleeding Bresd.-Considerable dis
may was caused in England during
the recent hot weather by the appear
ance of blood stains in bread, and also
in boiled potatoes, rice and other
farianaceous substances. In supersti-
tious times, this somewhat rare pbe-
nomenon was regarded as q miracle,
but modern science has shown that it
is due to the growth OF a microscopic
plant, which is known to some-ac-
cording to DR.. M. c. Cooke-as Nj
crococcus prodigiosus and to others as
Bacillus prodigiosus. The true ex-
PLANTATION OF the terrifying blotches
was first pointed out by Paduan nat
uralist in 1919. The same production
was seen near Berlin by Ehrenberg in
lS4S, at Rouen by DIR. Camille Mon
taigne in the same year, and was first
recorded in Britain in 1853. About
1886 an epidemic visitation on the
continent was attributed to this source.
Carmine red patches, capable OF stain
ing the fingers, appeared on cooked
meat during the night, and various
articles of food were similarly affected
until, after about three months, the
epidemic suddenly ceased on the adj.
vent of lower temperature. Frese-
MUS found the ind idual organisms
to be round or oval cells not more
than $4,000 to l-4,OOU of a line in

dark, and when kept continuously at
a temperature of 100 deg. F. their
color is gradually lost.
