Considerable difficulty is experienced in finding good foundation for the gate. The bed of the Aspetuck stream is near ly dry.

Calls for Mob Law.

The decision of Judge Simonton in the
Cantini case, in Charleston, which was
against the constables, has reused Gov
ernor Tillman, and when asked yester-
day what he intended to do about fur
nishing bonds for the constables,
whom the federal judge had decided
must give bonds, he said that he
thought he would allow them to go to
Jail.
"I will lot Judge Simonton 90 on" he
said, "until he becomes 80 odious 10 the
people that they will want to mob him.
He is acting under law that was repeal
ed before the alleged crimes were COM
mi.ted and before he issued the order of
arrest. He is trying to intimidate and
paralyze the constables in what is their
duty" The governor says that time
will come when all this violation of laws
supposed to be sacred must stop.-Co-

The st. Louis Republic in an editorial
under the caption SIS Cotton Still hing?"
says Bradstreets statistics. giving the
total number of unemployed working

reveal the interesting fact that the South
is su ffering the least from the depression
Of hard times. While New England and
the Middle States show total Of 450, 900
Idle and nearly million and quarter
dependent, the Central Western States
2z7, 900 unemployed and 44S,OOO depen-
d dent, the Northwest $4,000 unemployed
and l75,OOO dependent, the entire South
shows but 4S 900 unemployed and l23, 900
dependent. On the population basis the
South makes an equally good showing.
Her percentage of the total ofunemployed
is less than per cent, while her percen-
tage Of tie total population OF the States
included in tho comparison is much
larger tits obvious that the Southern
States have escaped the worst Of the
calamity which has befallen the entire
country. This fact is as significant as
the one that that section of the country in
which the mass Of wealth has been con-
centrated under Republican legislation is
feeling the hardest effects Of the prostra-

not clearly proved by the commercial

MIR. Kohn's Reply TO Senator Irby.

COLUMBIA, January 14.-Senator Irby
In card published to-day has seen tit to
accuse me of being responsible to very
large degree for his political trials and
troubles. He does me too much honor
when he says that I have "hounded, per-
secuted, misrepresented and manufacture
ed sentiment" against him. Let me say
that am simply anewspaper ccrrespon-
dent, not politician. AS young man,
hoping for success in my work, l realize
that nv first duty is to give facts as they
are found. Ifin doing this Senator 1rby
has not been pleased it can not be helped.
I have no aff1liation with, or interest,
in the Senator, or in his political friends
nor any desire to bs dragged into the
souabble between himself and his for
mer political supporters and allies. 1t is
no fault of mine that his conduct has not
pleased the masses of Reformers; J. am
not responsible that he has slot of ene-
miles," or that he could in minute make
q census of bis political friends in the
estate House." 1t WAS not at my call
that "the clique OF the Reform movement
met at Columbia to name a candidate" :"
etc. ! would, however, have been to
blame had the news not been published
as it came, and even then much that was
said has been reserved.
Ex-senator Irby has found objection to
my correspondence in the NewS and Cou-
rier, which has every indication of being
trustworthy and legitimate news, it will
occasion me no grief. My only purpose
Is to assure those who do not know my
sentiments that I have no personal feel-
ing or motive in the matter-the honest
newspaper man cannot have-and that
in this case, as in all others, I have given
what regard as plain, unyarnished facts.
