tressed that those who are now in charge
of the party's affairs have practically
abandoned the tariff question.
This Is only one OF the many departures
which the new Democracy made from
recognized party principles. The tariff
and all other questions were subordinated
in 1898 TO the question Of free silver. and

will bring about what Richmond has 50
long a time desired, a transfer system

by the Traction Company.
During the year the Richmond stock
yards we're enlarged and thoroughly es-
tablished. and Mr.. James y. Pace is now
about finishing up an extensive abattor
TO be operated in connection with the
stock yards. although as an independ-
ent enterprise.
We have not the space to mention tho
numerous other Industries that have been
begun and the enlargement of plants
already established. We may say. how
ever that the Richmond Locomotive
Works have expended about 100000 dur
ing the year in making necessary i'm
provements TO accommodate their i'm
mcnse business, and these works have
made contracts amounting TO two and
a quarter million dollars. giving them
enough work, without booking another

II is worthy of note. too, that Richmond

The churches Of the city are also In a
most healthy condition. Some of the old
church buildings have been extensively
improved and beautifed. and two hand
some new church buildings are being
erected in the heart of the city.
But perhaps the most gratifying thing
Of all is that the people generally are
employed at living wages. II Is esti-
mated that out of population Of per-
haps 10000 in Richmond proper there
are 80. 90 wage-earners In the various de-
partments Of industry and trade. We
doubt II any city in the land can make
a more favorable exhibit than this, and

A NOVEL QUESTION.
a Man Fined Wrongfully Cannot
Recover An Opinion From
the Attorney General.
Columbia Record.

Quite IL novel question was sub
mitted to the Attorney General
this morning from the Governors $
office. 1t appears that negro
from Anderson county was cons
victed and fined for not working
the roads. The fine was paid and
the negro asks pardon in order
that he may have the fine refund
ed, giving as his reason why par
don should be granted that it has
since been established beyond
doubt that he Is above the age by
several years which exempts citi,
zens from road duty. His states
ment of the fact is admitted to he
true, but there is no precedent to
show that pardon will act to re-
turn the fine to him.
Assistant Attorney General
Gunter is to file the opinion, but
he has already come to the conclu.
sion that there is no law whereby
the fine can be returned, even
though it is proven that the negro
paid it wrongfullv. 1t seems hard
bnt law is law and the negro can't
get his money back.

LAURENS MYSTERY.
Man and Wife KiIIed-Found
Side 10y Side in Their Cabin
Dead.
Cor. GreenvllIe News.


Laurcns, 5 &, July 11.-This
morning your correspondent was
surprised to hear of a tragedy oc
curing in this county six weeks
ago. 1t appears that near the
Enoree river ON w S Grav's
plantation a gang of negro laborers
left the field at MONDAY, and
among them, Julius and Rose Lee
Gray, man and wife. Two hours
later, not returning to work, their
cabin was entered and they were
found lying side by side, dead, a
bullet hole in the temple of each
and a pistol in the hand of the
man with three chambers dis
charged.
An inquest developed the hear
ing of two gun shot discharges,
and there was no evidence Of n
struggle and no unusual disorder
in the loom. The verdict of an
inquest found these facts and no
more, and your correspondent
only today heard of the tragedy.
A negro was shot IN this city d
year and a ninth ago and died
this morning. The crowd was
puzzled as to holding an inquest,
the man living more than u year
and a day. He was paralyzed
and bed ridden tae entire time.
But it would seem that if Il party
survived year and a day after
the stroke, there can be no homi-
eide in the case.
We have court next Monday.

Strong Reasons Why it Should

A good deal is being said Just
now about completing the State
house, and the sentiment seems f.
be quite general among the papers
that have discussed it that it ought
to be done. We are inclined to
think SO too in view of the fact
that the building is being dam
aged by the weather and in its
present unfinished condition is an
unSi9htIY pile and not in keeping
with the dignity OF the State.
But we want it managed so that
it will be as light as possible on
the people, either 10y Issuing long
term bonds or Il very small annual
levy for a series of years. We
believe on the whole we would
prefer an annual levy rs we do
not like this bond business much.
