verdict in each case was that tho deceased

by.Simon, Cooper with mlrderous intent.
This Is tha story OF the most tlendish
murder IN the history of Sumter county.
Tho murder Is one of the most brutal and
hloodthirsty on record, and the people OF

bring lin to justice.

admiration to Clemson College
The State, after providing for the
BOYS, has begun a grand work for
the girls and no tax payer should
object to giving thom an equal
chance with tho boys in tho way
of educational advantages. The
tax payer who had only girls to
educate contributed his share
cheerfully to tho building and
equipment of Clemson and now
think it but simple justice to do
as much for Winthrop. That
noble institution should be open
to every applicant and can be
with tho outlay Of Il few thousand
dollars. The demand for moro
rooms increases each year and
many applicants could not enter
this college last year, because tho
dormitory was not large enough.
The citizens of Rock Hill are kind
and give the students board at n
low price, and many stay and at
tend college. who would otherwise
be compelled to seek adm. .ssion in
some other college. But the at

SHEEP SCAB.
Secretary Wilson Issues Circular
Relating to the Subject.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-In ac-
cordance with the law for the sup
preston of contagious diseases among
domestic animals, Secretary Wilson of
the Agricultural Department has issued
to the managers and agents of railroads
and transportation companies, stock
men and others, a circular notifying
them that the contagious disease
known as sheep scab, or scabbies of
sheep, exists among sheep in the Unit
ed States, and that it is a violation of
the law to receive for transportation or
transport any stock affected with that
disease from one State or Territory to
another. 1t is also a violation of the
law to deliver for transportation to any
railroad or master, or owner of any
boat or vessel, any sheep knowing
them to be affected with the disease
referred to; and it is also unlawful to
drive on foot or transport in any pri-
vate conveyance from one State or
Territory to another any sheep so af
fected. Transportation companies and
shipping and transporting sheep are
requested to cooperate with the de-
partment for the enforcement of the
laws for preventing the spreading Of
the disease and orders are given that
cars, boats or vehicles which have been
used in the transportation Of animals
affected, shall be Immediately cleaned
and disinfected.

KANSAS PROHIBITORY LAW.
An Interesting Decision Rendered by
Circuit Judge Gates.

KANSAS CITY, June efficiently a
decision bearing on the Kansas pro-
hibitory law was rendered by Judge
Gates in the Circuit Court here in the
case of Val Blatz against Bobrecler
Bros The plaintiff consigned a guam
tity of beer to itself in Leavenworth,
Kan, being consignee and consignor.
Then Blatz resold the liquor to Bo-
brecker Bros. of this city. The latter
refused to pay for it, and when sued
for the value of the liquor set up the
unique defense that the plaintiff was
violating the prohibitory law of Kan
sas in selling the beer, and that the
comfy of States forbade the legaliza-
ton by one State of an action which
was illegal in another State. Judge
Gates held that the defendants knew
the prohibitory law was being violated
and that they could not hide behind the
known violation of a law. The liquor
was bought and must be paid for.
Judgment was rendered for the brew
ing company.

CONSIDERATION OF THE ThRIFF
REPUBLICAN SENATORS THINK
THE END NEAR IN SIGHT.
Expect That at the Close of the Week
They Can Say When the Work
Will be Concluded.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-The Re
publican Senators in charge of the tar
iff bill hope to feel that the end is
almost in sight They do not hope to
conclude the consideration of the bill
by the close of the present week, but
they expect by that time to be able
to say when they can complete the
work.
AS a matter of fact, the difficulty of
adjusting differences in their own party
is causing the managers more perplex-
ity at present than is the open opposi-
ton to the bill in the Senate. 1t has
been found almost impossible to har-
monte the contending forces among
the Republicans on the tobacco and
wool schedules. The differences on
tobacco have been compromised, though
not to the satisfaction of all concerned,
and if there should be another caucus
before the tobacco schedule is taken up
in the Senate the question is liable to
be reopened then.
The wool schedule will confront the
Senate at the opening of the session
Monday, and it is Senator Allison's
purpose to press the schedule forward
to a close. Hence it will be impossible
to postpone for very much longer
time the settlement of the differences
on this question. 1t is expected that
if the committee should not be able to
reach a determination by some time
Monday the matter will be referred to
a caucus If the committee fixes a rate
that is not satisfactory to wool men.
There is little doubt that an advance
will he conceded by the committee but
the question Of interest is whether the
advance will be all that the wool men
demand.
The wool schedule will, of course,
give rise to an animated debate, but
the Democratic Senators say there is
no disposition on their part to need
lessly prolong it There are also nu-
merous articles on the free list and
in the sundry schedule which will
arouse differences of opinion, and if the
Republicans do not withdraw the in
ternaI revenue features of the bill there
will be a sharp clash over this. They
are practically decided, however, to re-
tract from these provisions. 1t is also
practically determined that the House
provision in regard to Hawaiian sugar
will be continued pending the discussion
of the Hawaiian annexation treaty
For the rest, the question of reci-
procity and the problem presented by
the trusts in connection with the tariff
are still undetermined by the Repub-
licans themselves, but there is no doubt
that there will be more or less general
debate upon any propositions agreed to
when presented to the Senate.
