of a Large Fortune.
John James Mayo. a quiet, middle
aged man. has had a career as roman-
tic as that of Monte Cristo. Mage,
saws the Gillian Times. is now Guate-
malan millionaire, who lives nine
months OF the year in Paris. Twenty
years ago he was poor English collec'
tor Of insects in Guatemala, and also
acted as the British vice consul at San
joe.
One dav Commandante Gonzalez or
dered Mage TO appear before him.
Mayo sent word that he would come in
q short time. This incensed the COM
mandante. and he sent file Of soldiers
after Mage. and when the insect col
lector appeared ordered seventy-fve
lashes to be laid upon his bare back.
This was done very thoroughly, and.
when il was finished. Gonzalez shouted:
Give him twenty-five more for
luck
When Mage recovered. which was
only after careful nursing. as his back
was badly cut up, he made formal
complaint 70 the British government.
The result was that Guatemala was or
de-ed to punish Gonzalez. and to pay
Mayo FIVE hundred dollars lone hun
dred pounds sterling for every lash he
had received. In default Of this, Eng
lish cruisers would she'll san Jose and
other coast cities.
Guatemala readily punished Gonzalez.

Jesus was the true King of the Jews
By rejecting Him they rejected their
true kingdom, and hope, and glory, to
receive loss and destruction as a ma

Jesus is our true King. To accept
Him as our King is to receive kingdom
and eternal glory; to reject Him is loss
and death.

to escape conflict, and that was to do

dlsregardrd ,oS. great degree by the ladies
who ride The wheel. They have been accus-
toned 10 ride on the forbidden sidewalk
from the depot to Witherspoon's coffin fac
tory without reference 10 the city ordinance,
and this custom got two young ladies into
trouble few evenings ago. This trouble
WAS nothing less than an arrest. They were
spinning along al brisk pace, when Police
man Gallag her, who WAS on duty on that
beat, signed them down and told them to
consider themselves under arrest. When
asked to give their names they refused to do
80, but this did not avail them anything for
Policeman Gallagher knew their names and
tod them So The Young ladies were released
without bail, and as the Mayors Court has
not been in session since, they have not been
called upon to answer to the charge of riding
on forbidden ground. When they go before
Mayor Person he will probably be lenien'

a Restricted Suffrage.

lNr. Editor There are times when The
discussion OF certain questions becomes O
paramount importance because it sets men 'c
thinking, aud ~ithout this education Is far
ure ora.togetherf futile. And wEatiseducauon
but the preparation Of men to grapple with
the problems of their nvirorment; and wif6
out it how can they become masters of the
autonomy of their government, witnou,
. which citizenship is but poor boon or alto
gether futile
Those thoughts are suggested hy con-
sideration of some of the problems which
confront rs. And first is the matter of the
ballot. This We regard rot as an inherent.
but rather as an acquired right. By way Of
illustration, here is young man, say &c
years Of age, in every way qualified to vote
safely here is another man, 80 years old, in
no way qualified to vote except in the mere
matter of age To the first the law says
'sYou cannot vote'' to the second it says
'You are at liberty to exercise this privi-
lege"
If 1t is right and just to require certain
number of years as prerequisite, why not
90 farther and gay you mus, also be quail
fed 70 cast an intelligent and safe ballot?
We have always been opposed to an unre-
stricted ballot. And again, what right
under heaven has mau TO cast vote bear
ing upon the estate of property holder when
he cwns nothing himself? And again, re-
striction would not be permanent, but
should be stimulus to the disqualified TO
prepare themselves to discharge this inesiima-
BILE privilege inteligeaty, safely and justly.
We therefore have always been opposed to an
unrestricted ballot, and favored qualified
and safe suffrage that individuals and the
government might be protracted ir the safe
exercise Of this great and inestimsbe fnnc-
ton and privilege Of citizenship.
Then if it be right TO regard man as an
infant in the eye Of the law, in connection
with the ballot, until he has reached bis 2lst
year, surely il would be but consistent to
still regard him as such till he has acquired
the essential of IN intelligent and safe snf-
frage. With regard to what constitutes
these essentials and their bearing upon The
momentous question Of negro suffrage, we
may have sometb ing to say in future

Ma1. Marion Noise, Chairman Conservative
Democratic Party, Sumter County, and Col.
e. D. Lee and Judge T. B. Fraser, Can
didatts for the Constitutional Convsntion.
GENTLEMEN A majority of the Reform fac
ton have worked hard for compromise
ticket for Sumter County inside the Demo-
cratic party On last Friday it was my reso-
luton which called the Democratic Executive
Committee together to overrule Mr. Keals'
ruling in regard TO pledges and go into the
primary election. With me the executive
committee had majority, without me there
was no quorum. In a matter of vital con-
sequence everything should be frank, certain
and specific. Maj Noise introduced 3. reso
luton before the executive committee, doing
away with the primary TO which our faction
we're committed, by mass meeting and other
wise. withdrew because of this resolution,
leaving no quorum.
The Conservative Convention then passed
resolution which may be construed tnat
the Reformers place themselves under the
Conservative Executive Committee and ig-
more the County Democratic Executive Com
mittee. This construction is obnoxious to
our faction, who will only work for the COM
promise ticket inside tbe Democratic party on
terms Of perfect equality.
Now in order that we may understand
each other and occupy equal grounds and
cooperate together, |. as chairman Of The
Reform faction, beg to know if il is the in
tention to work together on terms of equal
ity inside the democratic party, thus making
a non-factional fight.
Your reply 10 this will govern our conduct
IN the primary.
Respectfully yours,
H. R. THOMAS,
Pres't Reform Democracy.
