THURMOND SET FREE.
The Jury Finds Him Not Guilty OF
Murder in Killing Harris.

Columbia, s. c., Aug. 5.-An Edgefeld
jury to-day. after thirty minutes delibera-
tion found Solicitor J. w. Thurmond.
state prosecutor for the Fifth circuit, not
guilty of murder in killing w. G. Harris.
Jr.. last March.
Harris. young man, belonged to an
old family and travelled for a drug house
in Columbia. The cause of the trouble
grew out of politics. Thurmond had re-
Gently been elected solicitor, while Harris
father was defeated for county office.
Young Harris, meeting Thurmond, charg-
ed him with undermining his father, and
called him a - dirty Tillmanite Thur
mond withdrew into his office and stood
al the door when Harris came by. More
words We're exchanged. Thurmond says
that Harris then advanced on him with
knife in his hand, when he kicked him
down the steps. Harris came at him
again with a knife In his left hand and
his right hand on his hip, when he shot
him dead.
There We're no witnesses TO this. Harris
knife was found closed in his right pocket
and no other weapon was on his person.

STATUS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
IMPORTANT DECISION BY THE ST.
PREME COURT.

The Right of Il Child to BE Educated
in the Common Schools Amounts
Only TO the Parent Being Relieved
of Paying TuitiOD-1he Right Al
Right to the Parent to Have His
Child Educated. Not IA Duty of the
state to the Child.
Atlanta, Ga, Aug THE supreme court
to-day rendered a very important decis-
ion. It's action reverses what has gener-
ally been considered an established theory
Of government heretofore and will attract
wide attention.
The case in question came from Bar
tow county and had been tried before
Judge Fite. whose decision was reversed
by the supreme court The facts are
these. Mrs. j. NJ. Purse mad two children
in one of the common schools of the town
of Gainesville. one of the children was
guilty OF some infraction of discipline and
the teacher, Miss Hall, punished it. The
mother was angered by this punishment
and went to the school and, as Miss Hall
reported to the superintendent, insulted
her. The children were then suspended or
expelled from school and an appeal was
taken to the board of education by their
mother. The board investigated and sus-
tanned the teacher, with the alternative
that if Mrs Purse would offer an apology
to Miss Hall the children would be rein
stated.
Mrs. Purse took the case into the court
on writ of mandamus. to compel the re-
instatement of her children and Judge
Fife held that the board of education had
no right to expel a child on account of an
act done by its parents. If the parent had
committed a breach the court held there
was law enough to punish the parent.
In reversing Judge Fite the supreme
court takes the position that the right of
a child to be educated in the common
schools amounts only to the parent being
relieved of paying tuition, that the right
is the right Of the parent to have his child
educated, not a duty of the state to the
child and that the parent may lose his
privilege in the common schools by his
own misconduct toward the school au-
thorities.

GROWTH OF NATIONAL BANKS.
An Interesting Diagram by the
Treasury Department.


Washington, Aug. 5-The abstract of
reports of the condition Of national banks
from May Il is accompanied by a diagram
prepared jointly by the controller of the
currency and the chief of the bureau of
statistics.
The diagram displays graphically the
growth and changes in the principal
items of resources of national banks from
1864 to 1896, inclusive
In October, 1864, the capital of the sos
banks amounted to $50. 100000. A year
later the number of banks had increased
to 15l3 and the capital to 1895, 200 900. The
capital gradually increased to $5O4, 500, 900
on oct. l, 1875. the highest point reached
until 1888, when il amounted to $500 100000
The increase thereafter was gradual until
1892 when the highest point was reached
namely, $685., 100000, in the fall of 1885, the
amount had declined to $64S, 5000
Loans and discounts reached their max
imum between 1864 and 1880; in 1875, the
amount was 1884, 100000, In 1880 that
amount was exceeded by $56, 300, 600; with
one exception from that date to 1892, there
was a rapid increase and the highest
point ever reached was in October, 1892,
namely, $2,1 100000. In 1893 there was
drop to S1,8i3, 100000 but a recovery in 1895
to $2,O59 100000. In the fall of 1896 there
was a decline to ST. 1913. 300 600
The deposits have fluctuated to about
the same extent as loans and discounts;
the maximum being reached in 1892, when
they amounted to 81, 779. 300, 900. In the fol-
lowing year deposits declined to 81, 465. 4OO,-
600 and reacted the following year to 81, 742,-
100000. The minimum amount outstanding
is shown to have been $122, 800 600 in Oc-
tober, 1880. AT the close of the report year,
1896 the amount had risen to $209, 800 0O
The average per capita of banking funds
OF al national banks in the United States
in 1896 is shown to be $S714, varying from
minimum of $272 in Arkansas to a
maximum of $120.59 in Massachusetts. The
diagram shows the average in each state
The diagram also shows by states and
geographical divisions the capital. depos-
its and loans of all national banks. and in
addition an illustration of the changes in
the various classes of paper money in cir
culation from 1864 to 1896. The chart is be-
Ing sent to all national banks and leading

IRBY PLIES A PITCHFORK.
he and senator MeLaurin Have a
Lively Tilt at Greenwood.

Greenwood, S. c., Aug. '5.-It was a very
much delayed, a large and a rather lively
campaign meeting that was held here to-
day. To begin with the speaking did not
start until ? o'clock, but the throng seem
ed to be hungry for campaign oratory and
waited and listened until nightfal. The
speakers stand collapsed early in the pro-
gramme, but that made no material diff
ference.
Col. Irby to-day was even more vigor-
GUS than usual and paid his respects to
Gov. Elerbe in brief.
There was a lively time for a few min
utes when Col. Irby asked Mr.. McLaurin
to answer a question and insisted on a yes
or no answer, and Mr.. McLaurin was
equally as positive in answering the uues-
ton in his own way or not at all This,
Col. Irby urged, was lodging which was
denied by Mr.. McLaurin. The controversy
ended in Senator McLaurin not recognize
ing these questions and Col Irby dec.in-
ing TO be interrupted for the answer. Mr..
McLaurin insisted il was his right to give
if any reply be given.
There were cries for fair play
Col. Irby said Gov. Elerbe was as weak
as circus lemonade and was prostituting
his office, so as to injure him and that he
charged that one of his friends on the
constabulary force had been DISCHARGED
because he would not work for Senator
McLaurn. He said there was talk of a
deal for the removal of the Metropolitan
police from Charleston; If so, he would be
heard from later on the subject.

COLUMBUS STREET RAILWAY.
The Road Held Not AmenabIe to the
state Railroad Commission.

The Road Held Not AmenabIe to the
state Railroad Commission.
Atlanta, Ga. Aug. 5.-The state rail-
road commission to-day decided an old
case that has aroused a good deal Of dis
cussion during the time it has been up for
settlement. 1t is the case of the CONNER
cial Fertilizer Company of Savannah
against the Columbus Street Railway
Company. The guano company complain
ed that the street railway company, which
does a transfer freight business in Column
bus, was making excessive charges for
hauling cars from the Central depot to
the wharf. The street railway company
demurred by excepting to the jurisdiction
of the railroad commission. The decision
of the commission to-day was that it did
not have any jurisdiction, and could not
interfere because the act creating the
commission does not extend its control to
street railways, although they may be
using steam dummies and doing a freight
and transfer business under their charters
Judge Allen Fort dissented from the de-
cision of Commissioners Trammel and
Crenshaw, taking the position that the
business done by the Columbus company
brought it within the spirit of the law OF
the commission.

DEUCE TO PAY OVER a DOG.
WeII-Known Atlanta Broker Attack
ed by an Angry Female.

Atlanta. Ca, Aug. 5.-An irate woman
with an umbrella with which she was
madly endeavoring to dshgure the fea-
lures of a well known citizen, created a
stampede on South Pryor street this aft
ernoon The woman was Mrs II. II.
Caldecott. and the man against whom her
wrath was directed was II. II. Brown, a
broker and real estate dealer. The
Browns and the Caldecotts are neighbors
in Kirkwood, a suburb but it appears
that they have not been getting along to-
gcther in a very neighborly fashion of

dog and this hapless canine, now deceased.
was the cause of the scene in front OF Mr..
Browns Office this afternoon.
Several days ago the Brown family was
Mortified to find that the dog had been
poisoned, and after their grief subsidized
they began to look around for the per-
son, who administered the dope to poor
doggie. This was finally laid at the hands
of Mr.. Caldecott and a wild and woody
feud soon sprung up between the two fam
lilies. Things grew so warm this afternoon
that Mrs Caldecott determined to have
1t out" with Mr. Brown, and so came TO
town and went to his office with a good
stout umbrella in her hand, and much
wrath in her heart. She found the object
of her anger sitting at his desk, but her
agitation was so great that her aim was
bad, and before the umbrella could be
made to do effective work. Mr.. Brown was
beyond reach. The attack, however drew
a great crowd. and the result was about
the same as if the angry Amazon had
landed on the brokers' nose for it brought
out the story of the poisoned doggie, and
gave the police a hand in the feud.
