A Celebrated Case.
HERMAN GILREATH's SLAYER
GETS A FAVORABLE DECISION

HERMAN GILREATH's SLAYER
GETS A FAVORABLE DECISION
FROM THE SUPREME Court.
The Supreme Court has given
j. Minis Sulliven, of Greenville,
another chance for his life.
Sullivan is the slayer of Alder.
man Gilreath, Of Greenville,
and the case is one of the most
noted in the criminal annals OF
South Carolina.
The homicide occurred over a
simple matter and the shooting
took place on the Main street of
Greenville. When the case
came up for trial in Greenville
a change of venue was granted
the defendant on the ground that
Sheriff Gilreath was relative
of the dead man and had some-
thing to do with the drawing of
the juries. Anderson County
was at last fixed upon as the
place for the trial. After a post.
ponement the case was tried,
resulting in the conviction of
Sullivan of murder in the first
degree. At the same time there
were sensational charges Of the
bribery of jurors and witnesses.
a motion was made for a new
trial before the presiding Judge
but he refused to grant it. An
appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court. Before this appeal could
be argued q motion was made
to suspend the appeal so that a
motion could be made before the
lower court for a new trial on
the ground of after discovered
evidence. The most important
new evidence is said to be that
of lawyers Stoddard, of Green
vile. who claims that Alderman
Gilreath threatened the life of
Sullivan the night before the
tragedy.
The Supreme Court yesterday
rendered the following opinion
suspending the appeal 90 that q
motion for a new trial oan be
made:
"Ordered that the hearing of
he appeal herein be suspended
Until the further order of this
court, and that In the mean"
While the appellant be allowed |

Clemson Will Rise Again. y
THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAVE
SO DECIDED.

SO DECIDED.
Calhoun, S. c., May 25.-Spe-
cial: The Board Of Trustees of
Clemson College met at Fort Hill
this evening. Only nine mem
bers Of the Board were present.
Architect Bruce, q member of
the firm of Bruce & Morgan of
Atlanta, the architects of Glenn
and Winthrop Colleges, met
with the Board, and gave them
the benefit of his experience and
skill.
The Board decided to proceed
at once with the rebuilding of
the main structure, which was
laid in ruins by the fire demon
last week. The Board has no
funds in it's possession which
have not already been appropri-
ated for regular expenses, but it
will receive $4,000 from the in
surance upon the destroyed
building, which cost S65, 900
to erect, though convict labor
was used. Much of the brick IN
the structure can be used again.

ry on the rebuilding operation
until after the General Assem-
bly, meets, when it is more than
probably the necessary appro-
priation will be made to finish
the rebuilding.

mined to stand by Clemson az

Carolina are made of good stuff

long as the men of South Caro-
lima are as true to their State as
the Clemson boys are to their
college, the State will be safe
from all danger.
The work Of Clemson College
will go on just the same as if the
fire had not occurred. There
will have to be some doubleteam-
ing and that sort of thing, but it
will be done. Various rooms in
the other buildings on the
grounds will be used as lecture
rooms until the main building
has been re-erected. This will
not be as pleasant as it would
be to have the classes meet in
the comfortable and airy rooms
in which they before the fire
pursued their studies, but there
are other considerations which
are higher than mere personal
comfort. The Clemson boys are
after getting education and will
get what they desire, if the class
es have to meet under trees on
the campus. They are in ear

PROTECTION IN CANADA.

On Friday, April 18th, Lieut.. Col.
Prior, a representative from the prov
ince of British Columbia, made n pow
erful speech in the Canadian parlia-
ment in defense of protection. He
clearly showed the advantages and
benefits Canada had derived from its
own protective policy, and it is
m interesting fact that much of his
argument is in keeping with the claims
made for protection by Republican
statesmen If the United States. For
instance, the demagogues of this coun-
try have tried to make the farmers be-
lieve that protection was of no benefit
to them and the same issue has been
raised in Canada. On this point Col
Prior said:
SIR, honorable gentlemen or either side
of the house have paid great attention to
the farmers OF this country. Now, there il
nobody has u greater respect for the farmer
than | have, no one better aware of tn.
fact that the farmers are Il large majority
in the country. But surely other men
should be protected as well as the farmer.
II you do away with the industries of the
cities and towns, What becomes OF the HON,
market for the produce OF the farm? TIL.
home trade Is. by a long way. better fol
the farmer than the export trade. Tn.
farmer of British Columbia particularly
must he "A pr~otectionist. At the present
time the prices of many Of his products arr
kept down and ruled by the prices OF th'
same articles brought from the northwest
and Manitoba. But if you were to open
tue country under free trade the British
Columbia farmer would he literally
swamped by the products that would be
brought across from the American side.
Even at the present time large quantities
of these products are brought across-the
duty being paid upon them-and sold at
prices at which the British Columbia
farmer could not make AN honest living.
II it were not for protection not 20 per
cent of the traders aud manufacturers OF
that province would be in business.
But it is in referring to the situation
in the United States under a Demo-
cratic administration and the threat of
free trade that Col. Prior finds a dismal
example. He says:
In "A week ome the voters OF the
United States gave up their allegiance to a
policy that has made them the envy OF the
world, and now look at them. Go into the
town. in the States and see
he condition of affairs. 1t 10 simply

The Mutton Market.

The Chicago Drovers' Journal oil
May 9th says that common and in
ferior sheep have been selling relatively
well compared with the best heavy
grades, but this has been because the
top end OF the market was low rather
than the bottom end high. Allgrades,
in fact, have been selling low enough
to keep producers on the anxious seat
and 81 per hundred higher all around
would still be low compared with
average prices for many years back.
Texas promises to send in a flood of
sheep pretty soon and as most OF them
are in poor condition it is a question
what "A be done with them. There
is an outlet for just SO many inferior
sheep and so far this season the sup
ply has been in fair keeping with the
demand. When the supply gets above
this point the market becomes glutted
and If the sheep are not fit for feeders
the situation will be indeed critical.
1t would be better not to ship the
sheep than to market them at a price
which will not pay expenses.

WHAT Is %PROTEcTIONl

My little boy this query made:
What is protection, pray?
I've heard you talk against free trade
What could a fatl o. say?
| answered him, 1T means, my son.
Just this and this alone,
Our institutions should be run
To benefit our own.
"Affording work for those who toll
In factories and shops,
Assuring those who till the soil

'Our fathers fought to give this land
To freedoms holy cause;
We fight to make hat edict stand
By wise protective laws.
Protection is designed To give
To all the greatest good,
That brawny sons of toll may live,
And live as freemcn should.
Protection means that this shall he
Through years that come and go,
A land of life and liberty;
Protection makes il So"

DISCUSSED.
Senator Hoar Says That Such Gatherings
Afford a Cover for Fanatics.

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-In The sem
ate today Allen of Nebraska intro
duced a bill to repeal the act regulat-
ing the use OF the capitol grounds under
which Coxey and his lieutenants were
prosecuted. PETER introduced a reso-
luton for the appointment of a special
committee of three to investigate the
condition of the country, with special
reference to the prevailing business de-
preston, and what legislation would
afford relief.
In discussing the Allen resolution
Gordon of Georgia said the Coxey
movement was a child of the paternal
theory OF government. Remedies for
existing conditions were to be found
in the decentralization of power. Tel
Ter favored the resolution. Coxey was
a law abiding citizen. He and his fol-
lowers had trudged through rain and
mud aud were entitled to respectful
consideration. He did not endorse
the statute under which they were ar
rested. He did not think the senate
clubbing. He himself would furnish
the names of witnesses. Whether
Coxey was a crank or not did not
matter. His statement was absurd,
as were many Others put forward in
the hour of distress, but it was not n
wicked scheme. 1t only asked con-
gress to provide work for the unem-
ployed.
Senator Hoar said Coxey knew the
law under which he was convicted was
on the statute books. He came here
with the deliberate intention OF vio-
lating it. He wanted to test the
power of congress in the courts, and
when he found both court and jury
against HIM he set up a howl.
"There is danger" said Mr.. Hoar,
Gin such assemblages. They afford "A
cover for fanatics. Within ten years
an attempt has been made to blow up
the house OF parliament; within two
years another attempt to blow upthe
French assembly. Two presidents OF
the United States have been murdered
by misguided fanatical persons, to
whom peaceable assemblages afforded
opportunity to escape.
at is needless for me-" said Hoar
drawing his finger up and looking
about the chamber, his eyes pausins
when they reached Allen and Stewart
"to declare that 1 sympathize with
all my fellows in distress. | sympa
thize with them agreat deal more thar
some of those who always prate o
sympathy for the down-trodden in or
der to advance their disgraceful politi
cal ambitions"
The senate burst into ringing ap
plause at this utterance, and in order
to quell the demonstration Senate
Faulkner, who was in the chair, was
forced to use the gavel vigorously and
threaten to clear the galleries.
