A Startling Story.
Told by a Leaden Bullet IN
SWearingen's Brain.

EDGEf1ELD, May 6.-New and start
ling disclosures have been brought to
light in the recent shooting ARRAY at
this place. 10 which John C. Swearing
en, brother-in.l Law of Hon. George D..
Tillman and Senator B. R. Tillman,
was killed. On Saturday last Messrs.
Croft, Tillman and J.. w. Thurmond,
counsel who have been retained TO assist
the State in the prosecution, had the
body Of Swearingen disinterred by Drs
Hill and T~hompkins in order to secure
the two remaining pistol balls from the
dead body, which were not extracted
before the burial.
Greatly to the surprise Of everybody
it now appears beyond doubt that
Luther Jones, son of B. L Jones, as
sisted his father in the killing. Luther
Jones has, up to this time. denied hav-
ing shot at all. while his father assert
ed, corroborating his son, that he alone
fred. The elder Jones claims to have
used a 32-calibre pistol, and the ball
extracted from the back of the de-
ceased's head is Of a 38-calibre. The
pistol owned by the younger Jones is
said to be of this latter calibre. 1t i;
also claimed by Swearingen's friend:
that the deceased never fired at ali.
Much interest is manifested in the
case on account Of the prominence o.
all the parties concerned. E. L. Jones
has before been tried here for his life
He is a man of considerable wealth
and settled in Edge6eld county abou
twenty years ago, but no one seems t.
know from where be came. It is stat.
ed, however, upon reliable authority
that be once lived in Pike county, Ala
bama, from which place he moved OF
account of having killed a man. This
latter statement is, however, merely
based upon information.
The result Of the above investigation
in fact the cause Of the disinterment
was the account of the affair written BY
Mr.. E. J. Watson, staff correspondent
of The State.

Close of the
State, May 8.

The argument 10 the ~dlspensary law
cases Which have beer pending before
Judges Simonton and Golf has now come
to an end, and it now rests with these
two judges of the United States Cir
cult Court to say whether or not the
law is violative of the United States
interstate commerce laws aud the COD
stitu.ion with the wings Of the eagle.
Massive brains and eagles eyes are as
this is being written persuing the synop-
sis of the arguments fled and to-day at
noon it will be announced from the
bench what conclusion has been reach
ed-whether or not the dispensary law
is valid in the particular matter of the
interstate commerce feature, which, If
such be got the case, will nullify It to
all iutents and purposes.
The battle has been a big one. Ibe
feature Of the elaborate argument of
the case as in the registration cases has
been one leading argument 10 the reg
istration case the leading argument was
that made by Mr.. G. A. Douglas, it
being one that aoy attorney might feel
proud of. 10 the ~dispensary cases the
leading argument was that made by
MI. j. P. Kennedy Bryan, of Charles
ton. 1t was one of the most brilliant
lamentations of a case ever heard not
10 Columbia, but iu the State. Mr..
Bryan displayed the greatest ability
and his delivery was forciDle and efec-
tive. In the court room, which was
damned so that standing room was
difficult to obtain, we're many leading
attorneys, some having come from a
distance to hear the case, and many
other prominet men representing other
professions. Each and every auditor
listened with the closest attention to
Mr.. Bryan's speech Of two hours. 1t
vas really the first thoroughly legal
attack that has been made upon the
law since it's enactment Piece by piece
he took the pruning knife Of the law
and trimmed it Of its embellishments so
that it appeared with tbs unconstitution-
al nakedness to the minds Of nearly
every one.

Like South Carolina.
Florida Has Our Election Law and
Finds That It Hurts Her.
Jacksonville Times-Union.

In discussing a fair election law
the Times Union has never once
given prominence to the idea that
such a law would give people out
side of Florida confidence in the
State. We advocate a fair election
law because such a law is right, and
an unfair law is wrong-because the
rights of the people now in the State
demand a fair election law. This is
a matter of first Importance, but the
impression made on people outside
of this State is not unimportant.
We need capital. We need imms-
grafton. There are tbirty-seven mil
lion acres Of land in Florida capable
of easily supporting a population of
10000 900 We have now Less than
half a million We need thirty
times the population we have now.
1t would make our lands nearly thir-
ty times as valuable. These lands
are owned principally by the people
who now live in Florida. They are
now almost valueless, because we
have many times more than we can
use. immigration would make them
valuable, and would make rich many
of the land owners in the State who
are now poor.
The investment Of outside capital
would bring immigration, and would
give employment to people already
here. Florida needs immg grafton
and capital.
Neither will go in large numbers
or amount to a State that does not
protect the rights of its people. Our
matchless advantages draw to a small
extent both labor and capital, in spite
of our present law. If a fai: election
law were passed, where one immi-
grant comes now. or one dollar OF
investment. ten would come, and the
State would be rapidly developed.
This, however, is a small matter, IN
comparison with the rights of the
people Of Florida-rights that are
now trampled. on, and that would be
protected by a fair election law.

Judge Townsend: He swears 80 that
your honor
The return of CoDstabies Davis and
Lafar were the same, except as to the
relation Of the facts 10 each case, which
being stated. the return proceeds to
state:
That at the time of the seizure of the
said package, no order of any kind of
this honorable court had been exhibited
to him, nor was he made a party to
any proceedings in the court, and the
only information be bad was derived
from the publication Of some proceeding
10 8 4ispeusary case in the Columbia
papers, which be thinks be read on the
morning of the 25th day of April. 1895;
that soon after this seizure, ON in.
quiry, he ascertained that an order Of
Injunction had been granted by this hon.
orable court, and since that time had
not made any effort to search for or
seize packages Of liquor, and has made
no seizures, and determined DOT to do
so until the question of his right under
the law to do so had been heard aud de.
termined by his honorable court.
That be intended to commit no con-
tempt in disobedience Of the orders of
the court, and has not w;ilfully or 10
tentiooally disobeyed any order, and
disavows any purpose whatsoever to do
so when be seized the package, and
avows that be is ready and willing at
all times to respect and obey its orders,
and intends to do so.
Wherefore be prays that the rule be
dismissed.
ALL DECISIONS TO-DAY.
Then there was a silence for some
time, everyone being OF the qui vive
to know what was goirg to be the re-
suit. Finally the high tension was re-
lief thus:
Judge Gof-The court will take all
these matters under consideration and
adjourn till II O'Clock tomorrow, when
we will announce the conclusion in the
cases which have been submitted.

to Wreck an Allan
tic Coast Line Train.

Another attempt was made to
wreck an Atlantic Coast Line train
night before last This makes the
third attempt of the kind that has
been made within a few months, and
it is a pity that some punishment
cannot be dealt out to the eyil-doers
All efforts 10 catch them have proved
futile.
The scene of the attempted wreck
of Tuesday night was between
Oakley and Strawberry stations.
Train No. % had just taken water at
the tank this side Of Strawberry
Station and had started for it's run
down to the city, when the engineer
saw an obstruction on the track.
The air brakes were turned on at
once, but the heavy train was not
brought to a standstill before the
engine ran into a pile of crossties
that had beer placed on the track
The act was deliberate and was
evidently done with an intention OF
wrecking the first train that might
come along, for the logs were
wedSed into the rails securely. The
train was uninjured, but the engine
was partially derailed. The train did
not arrive in the city until after l
o'cIock.-NemS and Courier.

The Contempt Cases.

After the close of the argument in
the d~ispensary case the contempt cases
we're taken up, and the returns of Com
missioner Mixsou, and Constables Davis
and Lafar were read. In each of these
returns the ~dispensary officials backed
down from the position taken by Cover
nor Evans, and disclalmed any iuten-
tentious to disobey or treat the order of
the court with contempt.
The State was represented by Assis-
taut Attorney General Townsend, who
read the returns to the rule Commits

very much like "Where is My Wander

members of the Bath High school foot ball
eleven came to this city on the 2 30 train,
Saturday afternoon, with the intention of
chasing the pigskin on the Farminglale
gridiron, with the high school boys Of this
city as the opposing team. The high
school boys, however. were not on hand,
not having been notified that a game was
t., occur. The boys from the Shipping city
went home on the next train, with reso-
luton firmly fixed in their minds that
never again would they come to Gardiner
or any other place to play foot ball. unless
all preparations have been made. The
Gardiner boys were not in the least to
blame for the occurrence, as the Bath
captain told Manager Hildrcth that the
game could not be played, on account of
previous engagement with the Thornton
academy eleven. Manager Hildreth In
formed the Journal correspondent, yester-
day. that either the cancelled game of
Saturday will be played here, next Wednes-
day, or that the high school boys will go
to Watcrville to once again compete with
the Coburn Classical Institute eleven.

At about 5 o. clock Sunday morning an
alarm of fire was sounded from box 40, ON
account of fire discovered In house on
INNER Main street. owned by Horace
Toward and occupied by two families, Mr..
Loyejoy living down stairs and II. W.
Gould up stairs. When discovered the fire
was well under way in the ell up stairs,
Though the occupants of the house were
not aware of it, the fire being discovered
by the people living opposite. Driver
Thomas of Hose No. l, made good run
and was on the spot within a very few
moments, but as only Mr.. Irving Hayden,
who sleeps In the engine house, was with
him. some time was lost in getting on a
stream of water. Mrs. Gould and child
were at Fairfield, and Mr.. Gould was
nearly suffocated by the smoke and was
taken out OF the house by way of ladder
from one of the windows. During the
time which Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Hayden
were connecting the line of hose, some
one rang in second alarm, thinking prob
ably to hurry up the men. AS soon as
water was gotten on the fire the blaze was
checked and soon extinguished. The loss
on the building will be $500 or $500; in
sured. Mr. Goulds furniture is nearly a
total loss, with only small insurance.
The furniture of Mr.. Lovejoy was also
greatly damaged by smoke and water. No
one knows how the fire started. The
hose companies returned to their houses
and before they bad replaced the hose In
their carts another alarm came from the
same box, 49, : 1t was rung just one hour
and 40 minutes after the first. This alarm
was for another further up the street, in
the barn of S. S. Wormell. 1t was small
blaze near the door and is supposed to
have been started by tramps. The fire here
was extinguishcd before the department
arrived, fortunately indeed, for IN few
moments more the hay in the barn would
have been ON fire and the building prob
ably total loss. AS it was, the loss was
only few dollars.
