The great event was over, the older
folks had gone their ways, discussing
it, while the school boys were grouped
about the Town Hall steps. Tad Rey-
nolds was with them. but the glitter
of his medal no longer held their gaze.
All were looking with shamefaced
eagerness at boy who stood hesita-
ting as if in doubt whether to advance
or retreat. He, too, wore medal,
but it was as disregarded as Tad's.
For him, as for the others, the last
half hour had wrought great reyul-
sion of feeling,
CHANGING down at the faces upturned
to his, he seemed to see not the enc
mics of later days, but the friends OF
the time that seemed years ago. He
made few steps forward, ialtered
and halted. Tad Reynolds mounted
step.

all of us, We"
Bob Jennings's hesitation vanished.
ooh, fellows" he cried, and sprang
toward Tad with outstretched hand

WITNESS FlrES.
Ve'y Interesting Question Raised From,
Newberry.
columbia ItcCOrd.)

The Governor has received COM
plant from IL citizen of Sligh's with
reference to the pay Of witnesses in
higher courts. He says he was sum-
moncd to court in certain case and
spent four or five days as witness at
his own expense. He was not called
upon to testify and the presiding Judge
refused to issue a ccstilicatc to him
He wants to know If this kind of thing
is right.
The letter has been submitted to tho
attorney general. 1t is said that Judges
must certify that witnesses arc "mate.
rial" to the case and some Of them re-
fuse to sign such certificates on the
ground that not having heard the tcsti-
mony they cannot testify whether the
witness Is material or not. Whatever
may be the legal arguments of the case,
it does seem hard that u witness must
spend four or five days or more at the
court house after being summoned by
tho State and then has to pay his own
expenses.

In the pcntcntiary investigation the
committee finds shortage OF over
$ll 200, 'whiie Col. Neal admits thnt
he owes the institution over $4,000.
Altogether it makes bud showing
any way you take IT. TO keep from
openly violating tho lnw, Neal rs Su-
pcrintondcnt lcnsed convicts to J. b.
Watson for work on his (Ncal's) farm.
The law would not permit Neal to
work tho convicts himself, so he gets
Watson to work them, though to all in
tents and purposes Col. Neal was to
got tho benefit OF their labor, Tho
Stntos property was scut around and
everything handled rather loosely so
lar as tho finances were concerned
The evidence all shows that u great
many improvements were made ut the
penitentiary, and the State farms arc
all IN fine condition. However, tho
matter probably is not yet ended, and
we 40 not care to say anything that
will prejudice tho case.

THE LITTLE MOUNTAIN EXCURSION

Columbia, August 0.-When in New
berry tho other day heard consider.
able criticism of the c., N. g. l.. Rail
road for tho manner In which it han
died the Nowherry people who attend
| ed the Iittle Mountain Reunion. There
were not ample accommodation for tn G
crowd who desired to go.
The Columbia, Ncwbcrry 81 Laurcns
and President Childs have alwaya been
so accommodating to the people of
Newberry }that l fclt sure there was
some reasonable excuse or explanation
somewhere.
The crowd was larger than the &C
commodation. There is no doubt of
that. The accommodation was not
what the people wanted, nor was it
what Mr.. Childs would have been de-
lighted to make it..
/ had talk with Mr.. Summersct Of
the road since | came to Columbia
about the matter. Everybody knows
that the road, as public servant, de-
sircs to please it's patrons. That is
reasonable, for il it were not for q
higher motive, self interest would
prompt it.
Mr.. Summcrsct tells me that when
President Cromer first took the matter
up with the road President Childs told
him he feared he would be unable to
secure the coaches and he would rather
t,l. -
no extra coaches and he was afraid he
could not secure them from the other
roads. When the time came the
coaches could not be secured from the
Atlantic Coast Line or the Southern.
The coach from the train from Lau-
rcns was pressed into service and that
gave only two small passenger coaches
for tho crowd, but they were all the
road had that were available that morn
ing. II was offered to make two trips,
and If part OF those who were going had
been willing to wait, the accommodate
ton would have been ample and salts
factory, but no one would he willing to
wait, and consequently the train was
OvCrcr0wdcd. Under the circumstances
We ought not to be harsh in our criti.
cisms Of the management.
Another complaint was that the fare
WAS 70 cents, whereas only II few weeks
ago Il negro excursion was run TO the
same place with y round trip fure Of so
cents. That does have the appearance
Of discrimination in favor Of the ne
grOcS. When President CrOmcr UNDER
took to secure Il rate he took the mat
ter up directly with Traffic Manager
Emerson, which ordinarily would have
been the correct thing to do. lie sub
miLtcd the matter to the Southern Pas
scngcr Association and the ordinary
excursion rate WAS ISSUED over the en-
tire system for this occasion. We are
not making the slightest criticism Of
President Cromcr, but if the question
of rate had been taken up with Agent
CavcnauSh, and by him explained just
what was wanted, have no doubt the
50 cent rate could easily have boon Sc
cured.
hayc felt that should say this
much in Justice to all purtics The ac-
commodution was bad. Nobody qucs-
tiCns thut, but with IL people who have
always shown disposition To favor MS
and help build up our town let us not
be too severe in our criticisms.

Columbia, August 10.-Thc pcnitcn,

submitted theirreport to Gov. McSwcc-
ney. He has been absent for several
days arranging to bring his family to
Columbia and has not yet had oppOr-

action on it. They find that Col. Neal
is behind about $11 900 and that various
public officials arc indebted to the pen

will OF course publish in this issue the
full report SO that our people may see
for themselves the nature Of things.

Speaking Of this work, the other day
the police Of Columbia had some Of the
superintendent arrested for violation
OF II city ordinance against cruelty to
animals. | saw those mules at work
and ! remarked that it looked Il li.cic
cruel, but us hard and cruel on the ne
grocs rs the mules, and the negroes
were volunteers. The State ncwSpu-
per asks this morning some very peril
ncnt questions along the line Of cnforc-
ing the ordinance preventing cruelty
to animals. 1t calls attention to the
bones that arc gcarcd up to many Of the
Columbia hacks, and how these horses
arc treated, but intimatcs that the H.
ccntc fec they pay is IN explanation

TaiIors Will Fight.

Tailors must unbend at times, and ir seems that on the night of St. John s eve, June 23, 1906, the tailors of Oxford were in the habit of unbending very far indeed. It was their custom to celebrate on that evening a festival of so prolong- ed a character that they usually did not break up till dawn. Upon this particu- lar occasion in 1906 after midnight, when they had a right to expect that they would find the streets in that part of the town deserted, they and their friends went out into High street and commenced what was apparently some sort of formal country dance. Their evo- lutions, however, were interrupted by a clerk, one Gilbert of Foxlee, who came upon them, the account states, with a sword drawn, determined, apparently in a spirit of pure mischief, to break up the dance. Some of the party, who knew him, held him back and did their best to get him away peaceably, but their ef forts were fruitless. He tore himself away from them and sprang again at the dancers, aiming blow at one as he came round in the figure, which, but for prompt movement on his part, would certainly have cost him hand.
 This was more than even an Oxford tailor could stand, and the whole party seem to have turned upon the clerk. One wounded him in the sword arm; sec- ond stabbed him in the back; cut on the head from third brought him to the ground. It would have been we'll if things had gone no further. But tai lor's blood, one takes it, is as apt to boil as that of any one else. and serving man struck at the prostrate student with some sort of an ax (called sparsh), in- flicting terrible wound in the left shin, which, after lingering illness of eight weeks, proved fatal to the orgulous Gil bert.-Macmillan's Magazine.

The Halhard.

The distinctive weapon of the Swiss was the halberd, which was their prin- cipal weapon at Morgarten and Laupen. It is curious to note how the Teutonic nations, even to this day, prefer the cut and the Latin nations the point We have been told by German officers that when the Germany and French cavalry met in the war of 1870 the German sword blades always flashed vertically over their heads, while the French dart ed in and out horizontally in a success sion of thrusts. Even the German dead lay in whole ranks with their swords at arms length. So the English at Hast ings worked havoc with their battle axes. The Netherland rAercenaries car ried hewing weapon at Bouvines. The Flemings at Courtrai used their goden- dags fitted alike both for cut and thrust, and finally the Swiss made play with their halberds, an improvement on the godendag.
 The halberds had point for thrust ing, hook wherewith to pull men from the saddle and above all broad, heavy blade, "most terrific weapons (valde terribilia"), to use the words of John of Winterthur, "cleaving men asunder like a wedge and cutting them into small pieces" One can imagine how such blade at the end of an eight foot shaft must have surprised galloping young gentlemen who thought them selves invulnerable in their armOr.- Macmillan's Magazine.
