3IAy. J. 4. FA NI"S GENEROSITY
EndOaIs Il Scholarship in FurInan
Universify--A Fitting Tribute
From q Friend.

The claim that successful business
men are blind TO every enterprise
that does not show on the surface
some revenue for self is the outgrowth
OF prejudice. Confused, indeed, must
be the conception, that does not
recognize the fact that the stream
that runs the machinery Of every pay
ing enterprise is kept up by our sue
cessful business men. Hence the
folly OF friction between capital and
labor. 1t is not only in the secular
business relations of lifo that business
mon lead, but they are the backbone Of
our benevolent enterprises. In this
connection may mention the beauti-
full example of Maj. Jno. A. FAINT at
Il meeting Of the board Of trustees Of
Furman University, recently held in
GrcenNille, is worthy OF emulatiap.
>,bts ,x-a,s,fI.s szsss,sos 'nTccttnt or +Ao
trustees since May. FAINT was elected
by the Baptist State Convention last
winter. In speech during that
meeting he made suggestions that
carried the same thought and business
tact in this line of christian useful
ness that has always characterized
him in his business. He is a man
who showed that he had grasped the
basil principle on which the success
n a e I, -,
trustee, must rest.
He said Furman University had
men. What she needed was money.
Let the trustees take one or more
scholarships and let the president as
he canvasscs the State use the liberali-
ty Of the trustees as an incentive to
stimulate others to initiate their ex-
ample. And then to show his faith
by his works he took one scholarship,
the amount for which he stands good
being about $500 or $1,000. This do
nation is to be part Of the perman-
ent endowment OF Furman University,
the interest accruing annually to be
used for the education of some worthy
young man. His patriotism and
county pride will give the boys of
Union county the preference. There
is great satisfaction in the thought Of
being able and unselfsh enough to
make q donation that some young
man away down the ages may rise
up and call his benefactor blessed.
Would that we had many more who
have in their hearts to do as Mr.. Jno.
A. FAINT has so nobly done.

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

Ihe c0urS OF General SESSIONS
convened Monday at 10 a. m. with
all officers at their posts.
This is the third term Judge Gary
has presided here, and he is still
maintaining the high standard
marked out by himself heretofore.
His charges to the .juries are the
clearest and most concise We have
ever listened to, and if we could have
more judges like him the .juries
would be enabled TO arrive at their
decisions without allowing that hal
lucinatiop, doubt, to play such an i'm
portant part in their verdicts.
\ part Of his remarks 10 the grand
jury could have been delivered to the
petit jury with good effect. While
claiming the present system OF trial
by Jury to be the nearest perfection
that man could devise, he deplorcd
the weak points in the system by
which so many murdcrers escape JUS
tice.
Our people arc as honorable and
patriotic as.aDy in the world, .yet nf
nearly every court the county is
put to enormous expense to try one
or two murder cases without con-
viction. The iurics seem to forget
the one who is gone and the widow
and orphans that are left, and come
to the conclusion that it is best not
to make any more orphans. This is
all wrong there is IS much pa
triotism required in the jury box
as in the front ranks Of charging
line in battle; in fact it requires
more stability Of character to listen
to the legal technicalitics and quib-
bles Of an astute lawyer, and not
allow yourself to be persuaded to
think you are doubtful about the
guilt of the murderer when you know
he has been proven guilty. The
prisoner is given the benefit Of the
doubt and the work of the lawyer is
to create that doubt.
This county already has terrible
reputation for allowing murdcrers to
escape the penalties of their crimes,
and if the verdicts of our petit jurors
are to continue as heretofore they
had as we'll be abolished.
We have no remedies or suggcs-
tions to make, but the bald fact stares
everybody in the face that there has
not been a conviction in murder
case in Union in several years, though
the crack of the pistol has sent many

Rlnck Foo1ed Then,.

Sir Wemyss Reid, in personal sketch
of his friend the late Mr. Black in
The Speaker. tells how the novelist out
witted The Saturday Review. When
"A Daughter of Heth'' appeared. it
took the town by storm, and as it ap-
peared anonymously Sir Wemyss heard
for the first time from an acquaintance
who the author was:
It was with certain sense of injury
that he asked, ''Why. if Black wrote the
book. did he not put his name to it p
"Oh, don't you knowf'' was the in
slant response. ''That is the best part
of the joke. The Saturday Review has
been down upon everything he has
written, so he purposely published this
book anonymously in order to take in
The Saturday Reviewers, and they were
the first people to sound the praises of
"A Daughter of Heth. If his name had
been on the title page. they would
have damned it. .
Unlike many bits of gossip about
successful authors. this-as Sir Wemyss
learned later from Mr. Blacks own lips
was strictly true.

rest of his days. And this notwithstand-
ing that he is the thief who stole Mrs.
Levine's bag of diamonds, valued at near
ly $1,000, last Sunday.
Mrs. Levine made an early morning call
on her mother, who lives next door. She
had her jewels in a chamois bag and a
baby's stocking. pinned inside her dress.
and she dropped the precious bundle in
the passageway between the two houses.
There her two little daughters discovered
it and played with II for while then
left it where they first found it, not think
ing what it contained.
Several hours later Mrs. Levine discov-
cred her loss, but by that time the bag
was gone.
A reward Of 800 was offered for the re-
turn of the diamonds, and this. bringing
no results, Lieut.. Stanton of the Warren
avenue police station, was asked to take
up the hunt. Stanton in his youth serv-
ed as powder-boy on a man-of-war, and
during his spare moments he cultivated
the acquaintance of rodents on board ship.
Thus he noted their every trait and OBJ
served their fondness for anything that
would make their nests the snugger
When he had failed by all other methods
to locate Mrs. Levine's diamonds. he
thought Of the rats, and on Investigation
discovered big round hole in the wooden
walk of the passage-way BY his direc-
ton the planks were ripped up, and way
down in q furroW of damp earth the miss
ing bag and its precious holdings were
found. They were returned to Mrs Le-
vine, and sigh of relief was given by all
concerned that they had not fallen into
the hands of some consclenceless human.
And that is why a life pension awaits
the old gray rat at the back door when
he announces his arrival to claim his due.
