A Judicial Tyrant.

AsHvILLE, n. c., July 27.-In the
case of H. G. Ewart, Judge of the
Criminal Court, against Frank r.
Robinson, editor Of the Citizen, for
contempt, the editor appeared today
by j. S. Adams. Lock Craig, j. D..
Murphy and Judge Chas. Moore,
prominent members of the Ashville
bar. who had volunteered their ser
vices to defend the editor.
The answer of the Citizen to the
charge of contempt was that the edl-
torial complained OF did not represent
the proceeding of the court unfairly.
The criticism was made in pursuance
of the rights of the press under the
Constitution of the United States, ahd
North Carolina rs we'll. The editor
further denied that he Intended any
contempt of court, and under decl-
sions of the Supreme Court of North
Carolina, it was believed by all the at
torneys that this prrgiug OF the de-
fendant settled the matter.
To the surprise of al present, how
ever. Judge Ewart. after a long decl-
sion from the bench, during which he
displayed great feeling, ended by sent
encing the editor OF the Citizen to pay
a fine of $3.50 and be imprisoned III
the common jail of Buncombe county
for thirty days. Bail was fixed at
50, 600, and in few minutes the bond
was made up by the leading citizens
bankers. merchants and others CT the
city, and the editor was released from
the custody Of the court.
An appeal was at once taken to the
Supreme Court of North Carolina.
The case will be fought by the best
talent in the State.

Idle Gossip.

y correspondent of the Atlanta Con
stitution, writing from Laurens, 5. u,
says man known well IN the upper
part of the State, and whose integrity
is above suspicion, has let him into the
secret of the causes leading up to the
calling of Constitutional Convention
in this State. This correspon dent
says the supposed main issues which
have been thrown out as food Tor
thought for the people now appear as
mere collateral incidents, and goes on
to give what his informant claims IS
the king motive back of the Constltu-
tional Convention movement. The
first and chief motive is said to be the
speedy abolition of the present SUI
preme court and the adoption OF the
appellate court in its stead: AS long
as Chief Justice McIver rules against
the constitutionality of the reform
laws there can be no hope on the part
of the Irby faction for absolute peace.
The Reformers recognize the necessity
for the organization of a judiciary
which is in perfect accord with the
legislative branch. Mclver must 60,
and then he camp will be cleared OF
-spmpathizers. The writer goes
on to say that in addition to the resto
ration of the old appellate court,
which was in existence in this State
before the war, there is to be an in
crease on the circuit bench of SIX
Judges, all of whom shall be elected
for life or good behavior instead OF for
a term of years. Senator lrby. ac-
cording to this information, will pre-
side over the entire Judiciary OF South
Carolina as chief justice and Governor
John Gary Evans will fall heir to the
place now occupied by Senator lrby,
and John Gary Watts will hold the
governors chair until a better man
comes and takes it. This is all idle
gossip. There is no more chance OF
Irby being elected Chief Justice OF
South Carolina than there is of his be-
ing reelected Senator. His election
to the United States Senate the first
time is mistake that the Refor.ners
of South Carolina will not repeat:
Gov. Evans. we rather think, will
succeed Irby in the Uuited States Sen
ate, but he will hardly do so with the
consent of Irby, who, no doubt, will
make desperate but vair fight to re-
tain his seat in the Senate.

Retribution Terrible.

PARIS, Aug. News has been re-
ceived here of Gastardly attempt to
murder NJ Nuvillemin, the managing
director of the coal mines at Aniche,
eight miles from Douai, in the de-
partment of Nord. = monster banquet
had been prepared for the celebration
today of the completion of the tiftleth
year of Fuvillemin's connection with
the mines. After mass had been
celebrated this morning NJ. Vuville-
min, surrounded by a party Of engln-
GERS and shareholders in the mines,
was standing under the church porch,
when an anarchist miner named Ca
mile Decoux, who had been dismissed
from the service of the company after
the strike of 1898, approached and
fired five shots from arevolver at him.
Three of the bullets took effect, one
striking NJ. Nuvillemin III the cheek,
another in the hand and another in the
back, inhicting serious, but not dan
gerous wounds. After emptying his
revolver Decoux was preparing to
throw a bomb, which he had con-
cealed about his person, when by
some means the internal machine ex-
pioded prematurely, disemDowelling
the would-be murderer and hurling
his writhing body a distance Of seven
feet from where he had been standing.
Ten OF the bystanders were slightly
injured by the explosion. Decoux was
carried to mayoralty house but died
Immediately after his arrival there.
The attempt upon N. Euvillemin's
life has created most intense excite
ment through the district.

Three Lives for One

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Aug IA

Oak, Fla, says: George Mitchell, color
ed was hanged here to-day, in the pre-
sence of a large crowd, for completely
in the murder and robbery Of Alfred
Ryberg, a white man. Mitchell died
like man, and to the last protested
his innocence, His last words We're:

to see my friends in glory. die with.
out hard feelings against anyone.
Mitchell is the second man to hang
for Ryberg's murder, Henry Brown
having been executed for the same
crime July II. Brown, Mitchell and
Stevens were convicted to death for
the crime. but the two latter were re
spited. The respite caused such indig-
gnation that mob attempted to storm
the jail and lynch Mitchell and
Stevens few days ago. The Cover

How About These High Prices


The Augusta Chronicle says dur
ing the past sixty days when the spec
ulators were bulling the price of cot
ton and of wheat for purposes of their
own, the gold papers were constantly
nagging the advocates Of silver coin
age about their claim that the demon
citation of silver had caused low
prices. But since the bottom has fall
en- out of the speculative spurt and
cotton and wheat have dropped back
almost to low ebb again, a painful 81
leuce has fallen upon the gold broth
erhood. While cotton and wheat
were so low before the recent rlse)
gold papers assured us that 1t was over
production that reduced the prices so
low. but while they were bounding
upward they grew silent on this the
ory. 1t will now probably resume
business at the old stand" In discuss
ing his matter. the Manufacturer, OF
Philadelphia, which takes lively in
terest in it, says "a Boston Journal,
discussing the decline OF prices within
the past few wears, contends that sill
yer characterization could not have
produced the result, which is indeed
to be attributed rather to mechanical
invention. because wheat did not drop
more heavily than steel rails, and
even the decline in cotton did not
keep pace with the reduction per ton
per mile of the average freight rate OF
American trunk railroads. Why the
price OF steel rails declined is plain
enough; the invention Of new and re-
markably cheap processes Of manufac-
ture put the price down, and this
helped to reduce the general cost of
railroad transportation. But the per-
son who uses the argument just quot
ed is bound to show that improve
ments have been made in the produc-
ton of cotton and wheat, within a re
cent period, which have operated In
an equal degree to reduce the cost OF
production. What are they? Wheat
declined from about 73 cents bushel
to So cents in the two years ending
with last March. What invention IN
fertilizers, what improvement in har-
vesting machinery, appeared within
that time to account for such result!
None; none whatever. An acre OF
ground cannot be made to produce
now an ounce more of either wheat or
cotton than could have been obtained
in July: 1898. We must'believe, then,
that two separate causes have worked
to thrust down prices. Mechanical!
invention has done so in the cases OF
manufactured articles. The change of
the money standard has done so in the
cases of the foods and ibres which we
sell in Europe in competition with the
whole world. That such prices would
at once drop heavily if half the pres.
ent stock OF gold should be demonet
lied, no man would think of denying.
The rejection in 1878 of half the stock
of metallic money must have had
precisely similar result.

Making RaniA Strides.

Very few people realize how greatly
the tobacco culture industry has
grown in South Carolina in the last
few years. In the Pee Dee country it
is fast supplementlng cotton and farm
ers find it more profitable than the
tleecy staple. Darlington County was
the pioneer, but Florence, Sumter,
Clarendon and Marlboro Counties
are rapidly following her lead, and in
other counties farmers are ready to
renounce their allegiance to the erst-
while king, cotton. The Darlington
News has gathered figures to show
what marvellous advance the tobacco
industry in Darlington has made silce
last year. It is record OF which Oar
lington County may well be proud.

Where Reform IL Needed.

Mr.. Joseph Choate, of the New
York bar, in recent address, brought
out the surprising fact that with 30
0OO, 600 people England does not have
so many judges as any one OF our lar
ger States. In England there are
thirty-two Judges OF the first class,
while New York has l4O, and ILLINOIS
IT'S. English courts dispose Of busi-
ness more rapidly than ours, and yet
litigation is much lighter IN that
country than it is here. Just COM
plants are made of our complicated
judicial machinery. the facilities afford
ed for appeals and new trials, and the
fighting for delay In almost any
case. when it is to the interest OF = law
yer to prolong the proceedings, i. is
impossible to secure a prompt and hnai
decision. Commenting on Mr.. Cho-
ates address The St. Louis Globe
Democrat says the truth is that in
our anxiety to provide ample means
for adjustment of legal difficulties,
we have made our judicial system a
source of endless tritling with the in
terests of the people. Our multiplied
ty of statues is directly conducive to
litigation, and the courts attach SO
much Importance to precedents and
technicalities that the lawyers can
keep a case in course of trial almost as
long as they please. In England,
where there is supposed to be much
more formality than in the United
States, the ordinary practice Is far
less slow and uncertain than that
which prevails here. We have so
many Judges and so many different
tribunals that a case may be taken
from one to another on various pre-
texts, and the expense is apt to exceed
the amount involved in a majority of
cases. There is certainly great need
of reform in this matter. 1t should
be easier for the average citizen to OBJ
tain decision from somecourt of full
and final jurisdiction, which IS to say
that it should not be so easy for the
lawyers to protract all sorts of cases.
Too many of our courts exists solely
for the purpose of giving solemn and
leisurely consideration to technical
and unimprtant pleas. The whole
system ought to be simplified, in short,
with view to saving time and money
by removing all chances for cases to
be continued and transferred except
for sound and conclusivereasons. Few
more important matters now engage
the attention OF our law makers and
the public. We have time and again
urged a reform, especially in our crl
miral procedure. Nearly al the
iynchings in this country are due to
the fact that the people have no patti
ence with the delay and the uncertain
ty OF the law, and rather than run the
risk of seeing known criminals escape
in cases Of exceptional atrocity they
appeal to Judge Lynch We need
more expeditions methods in both
crimina. and civil cases, and we be-
lieve that they can be adopted without
dong injustice to anybody. Whether !
the would decrease the number OF |
our Judges or not we do not know, but |
the people would be willing to pay out |
a good round sum to their Judges in |
exchange for swift and certain justice. |
1t is time to agitate this reform in earu-

who were all insured for good
amounts:

Samuel Windsor, IS, IS, infrm.
Thomas Davis, :, =, consumptive.
Florence Chadwick, very bad health.
The prosecution attempted to prove
that the money received on the bene-

divided between four relatives of the
dead man and that these four rela-
tives insured man in the last stages
of consumption eleven days before his
death, swearing that ne was good
risk; that the insurance agent at Bu-
fort certified that Wigfall was good
risk" Most OF the day was taken up
by wrangles between counsel as to the
admission Of testimony. a large mum
berof letters, atfidavits, applications
for insurance policies, etc., were -ad-
mitted today and several hundred
witnesses were examined today orally.
