THE TEN MILE LIMIT.
The Debate on the New County
Question Waxed Warm-Hot Words
Between Delegate Gary and Sena-
tor Tillman.

Between Delegate Gary and sena-
tor Tillman.
The discussion of the new county
question In the constitutional conven-
tion waxed fierce and furious as the
days went on, and on Wednesday night
there was sparring match between
Senator Tillman and Mr.. Frank B.
Gary, of Abbeville County, which ex-
ceeded anything in that line since the
session began.
Mr.. Gary said he wanted to talk
about Edgefeld's fairness. Edgefield
had required that the court house of
Saluda was not only to be in the geo
graphical center, but also that the line
Edgefield. We are taunted with MAX
ing unhOly alliances. Who set us the
example? Benjamin r. Tillman, OF
Edgefield. He won't deny that in
forming Saluda he held conferences
with the Mart Gary county people and
the lines of Saluda were made to suit
that county. Senator Tillman wanted
to amend the second section this morn
ing because it didn't suit the Green.
wood County people. 1t is time for
Abbeville to act Orlbe wiped from the
may. Edgefield boasts of her generos-
ity. After Edgefeld was dismembered
she has almost as many square, miles
asoA bbeville now.
Mr.. G. ID. Tillman wanted to inter
rupt several times, when Mr.. Gary
said shrewd lawyer always wanted to
interrupt when the argument went
against him.
Mr.. Tillman: Why, never
claimed to be more than a one-horse
lawyer" Laughter.) He went on to
say that they proposed to form two
more counties out OF Edgefield.
Mr.. Klugh held that when counties
were formed 100 years ago, it was che
custom to get the geographical center
as the county seat. That has been the
custom ever since. The ten mile limit
Is the logical outcome of the conven-
tions action making new counties 40C
square miles. If you go nearer thar
ten miles you throw the county sea
out of the geographical center.
Mr.. Sheppard Gin replying to Mr.
that he voted every time In favor o
those measures that would protect ole
counties. As q matter of fact Salud,
County runs less than eight miles o

The most interesting bicycle event

this proves successful, it viii, practl-
cally speaking, be one OF the most re-
markabie vehicles for travel that has,
yet been known in this or in any other
country. L pneumatic tires arc
very much larger than those OF
any other bicycle, the idea being TO
furnish "a cushion that will not be
affected by any uncvcnnrss, even large
ones in the road over which the rider
travels. Attached TO the rear wheel
is q mechanism which develops tho
power to send the wheel forward by
means of "a small, twO.cyl Mdcr naptht

which weighs twelve pounds. This
bicycle, it is said, will go ut the rate
OF twenty-five to thirty miles an hour.

The Eastern coin was down hard on Sal
lie Clicquot, and after the race there was
considerable controversy as to the relative
merits of Salvators daughter and the
Engiish-bred filly. 1t is said Mr.. Mac
donough stands ready to back his filly
against the one that finished second to her
yesterday, and a match race in the future
is not an improbability.
j. Burbridge, a well-known Eastern
penciler, is one of the recent turf arrivals.
Mr.. Burbridge formerly booked for Or
lando Jones, and says that when he left
Baltimore at the close of the meeting at
that place many of the bookmakers and
horsenlen were contemplating a trip to
California.
Sam Doggett was fortunate in winning
his first mount at the meeting, but was
fined $25 for spoi1ng good start, which
lessened the profits.
Pepper is right good racehorse, and it
looks as though selling races were bit out
of his sphere. ANY horse that can gallon
mile and a furlong over a slow track in
l :56 deserves rank among California stake
horses.
The gentlemen's race for next ladies'
day will be an owners handicap at six
furiongs. Among the announced starters
is Bernardo, to be ridden by handsome
Joe Mccarthy. Walter Hobart it is said,
will ride either Little Med or Romulus,
and the race promises to be a great sue
cess.
William Pinkerton showed a world OF
speed in his race, and at his next essay
should come pretty close to getting the
long end of the purse. Conde is another in
the same class.

COMING ENROLMENT.
Democratic Factions Preparing for the
Primaries.

Primaries.
Tuesday night the Buckley primary COM
mitree met again in California Hall; at $40
Bush street, and made some more prepar-
ations for the enrolment by that faction,
which will begin Monday evening in every
district and continue until Saturday night.
The committee on rules reported a set of
rules similar to those of past primaries,
which were adopted after long debate.
DR.. Stanton reported for the printing COM
mittee that advertising, blanks and so on
were being properly attended to, and an
other committee reported progress in re-
vising and filling up the district canvass
ing and enrolling committees of five.
At the next meeting of the primary
committee of twenty-five, which has full
charge of the primary, final arrangements
for the enrolment next week will be per-
fected. The Buckleyites say that their
enrolment will be a big one.
The Junta's enrolment goes quietly on
by the canvassing methods, but no figures
or estimates are yet given out at head
quarters.
Registrar Hinton says that wrong re-
ports about his resignation from the
Junta's general committee have gone
abroad. He says that he is taking no
sides and that he quietly resigned some
time ago, though the fact was not given
out.
'As soon as was appointed on the new
general committee" he said yesterday, II
sent letter to the secretary expressing
thanks for the honor and declining to
serve. 1t would be at least an impropriety
for me to take part in any political organ
ization. The law prohibits my taking part
in any nominating convention and gen.
eral committee is close to one. 1t was
simply my duty to keep out OF all political
excitement. 1t would not be fair, either,
for me to express any opinion about the
present situation. 1t might become my
duty to decide a matter between the fac

the first. Every angler who has cast a
line' over the sparkling waters of the Eel
during seasons when it is lawful to catch
salmon and trout can relate many pleas
ant instances of sport connected with one
of the most enjoyable of outdoor pastimes.
According to the law as it now reads
anglers can catch steelhead trout in the
tidewaters of any of the rivers of this
State at all seasons of the year with rod
and line.
The accompanying illustration will give
the lovers of piscatorial pastime an idea of
the enjoyment that is in store for any
angler who can afford few days fishing
in the tidewaters of Eel River.
Messrs. Drummer and Hansen of Eureka,
two expert anglers, had excellent sport
recently catching steelheads with light
tackle. They used bamboo rods of from
twelve to fifteen feet in length, fine lines

gave her an impressive beating. There
were nine starters in the event, but out
side of the Baldwin entry, Argentina, the
betting was confined chiefly to the two
crack fillies. The general price in the ring
when the bugle called the youngsters out
was II to against the English Miss and

strong following, who backed her down at

and leaders that had been thoroughly
tested before using.
The trout, which run exceedingly large
in this river are noted for their game
qualities, and Mr.. Brunner states that the
larger one of the string gave him battle
for three-uuarters of an hour before it sue
cumbed. The lure employed for their cap
ture was a spoon, commonly known as the
Wilson spoon, which has been used very
successfully on many rivers on this coast.
Recent advices from Duncans Mills,
Sonoma County, give very t1atterlng re-
ports of catches that have been made near
the mouth of the Russian River during the
past week. The recent rain, although not
sufficiently heavy to increase the volume
of water in the river, has been means OF
adding supply of trout in the deep pools
which lie between Duncans Mills and the
mouth of the river.
The steelheads are now on their annual
run to spawning beds and will remain in
the deep and brackish water until the
next flood, when they will depart for the
head waters of the river.
Charles Green, G. Cracknell, Captain
Cumming, A. Newton and J. Christensen
have had grand sport catching those fish
recently.
Mr.. Green states that he has not in
many years enjoyed such splendid fishing.
In relating an experience he said:
struck fish in almost every deep pool cast
my line, and can assure you that 1 never en-
countered in my thirty years experience in
every inch of the way, and when you imagine
that the last run has been made it is Just then
that you must look out for danger, as the
moment they get within seeing distance of you
away they will dash with the speed of light
ming, and unless you are an old hand at the
business of handling game fishes it is 10 to
that you will lose your prize, as the fish will
be sure to get your line tangled around some
hidden stump or tree root.
The spoon works first class at times, but the
best bait l used was salmon roe, prepared
specially by Henry Skinner for this kind OF
fishing. The steelheads in the Russian River
run large. and would advise anglers who in
tend TO have try for them to go well prepared
with sound tackle, or otherwise they will re-
turn home disgusted and disappointed. Now
is the time to angle, because on the first rise in
the river the fish will leave their present loaf

this point Sallie Clicquot was not among
the first six, but when Martin let her out
she flew past the others and was soon sec
ond. Martin strove hard to catch the
leader, but Sloan taking matters rather
comfortably on the favorite won by half
length. Joan was third in front OF Plque,
who ran an excellent race. The victory
was worth $500 to the winner, the second
horse taking $3.50 and the third $3.50. Tod
Sloan rode an excellently judged race on
Mr.. Macdonoughs flly and was the re-
cipient of well-merited applause on his re-
turn to the stand.
The card was lengthy one, there being
five selling events in addition to. the stake
race. 1t was not day for favorites Santa
Bella and Pepper being the only ones to
land purses. AS the other winners all had
juicy odds about them in the ring, the big
crowd voted it fine days sport.
Sam Daggett made very successful de-
but in the opening race on the back OF Sir
Richard. Sam beat the flag length with
the gray horse, who was 6 to chance,
took him back to third place, and giving
him his head again near the turn for

on the two-year-old race, and won very

The mile and furlong selling event was

ness The division, although intended 10 be made
came to bid for the right to choose Miller paid for
that right over $150.000. Upon one single piece of
property-the Peach Tree ranch In Monterey
County-he paid for the rig hit of choice SlOO0l0.
THEY WOULD NOT RETIRE.
1t was worth, then. to Miller 900 at least to
have his way unopposed at that bidding. The day
on which the bidding was TO take place had been
liked and notice given. What was to be done:
Miller coud not control the firm of CARRIER, Boalt
made 10 swerve from. their duty. Yet it was
worth ST. 10000 to him to get them out of the way
There was but one remedy, and that was to have
these eminent lawyers dismissed from the case.
So Miller through his agent, ]. lie Roy Nickel,
made Jesse Potter undertake to depose them and
appoint in their place attorneys OF j. lie Roy
Nickel's own choosing, Messrs. Page & Eels, a
firm the leading member OF which was his own in
innate friend.
expectedly, Messrs. CARRIER, Boalt S Bishop frus-
trated it by declining 10 retire. What would have
been the result, Miller clearly foresaw, If, upon
the day OF the bidding Messrs Page Eels had
been the attorneys of the estate OF Charles Lux IN
stead of Messrs. CARRIER, Boalt IL Bishop? What
could they have done bur be guided by the wishes
of their own client Jesse Potter, and what would
have been Jesse Potters direction TO them but the
echo of tie wishes OF Henry Miller? Under the
conrol of Miller he would have said This division
has been made by honorable men, who have
divided the property equally. There is nothing in
bidding for choice. Let Mr.. Miller give what he
wants, let him have his choice, for surely he has
some equities in the matter. Under these dfrec-
tions Miller would have had his own pick o: the
property for nothing. and would thereby have been
the gamer of over $l50.O0O. Upon one single
piece OF land he would have benefited to the extent
OF 100000
Am 10 be told that Mr. Miller would not have
done that? Am 10 be told that he woud have
been restrained by any sense of delcacy from
doing IL? Am 70 be told that anything except
his own interest, no maTter what sacrifice OF the
interests of others, would have guided him? NO,
