SOUTH ChROLINA's ANTI-LYNCH-
ING, LAW

An interesting case Will be passed upon
by the Supreme Court Of South Carolina
during the present week. 1t has to do
with the late constitutional ana
statutory enactment designed to
prevent lynching in that State.
The anti-lynching law provides that
when prisoner in the custody Of
any officer Of the law shall be taken from
the officer and iynched. through the neg
ugence. permission or connivance Of such
officer. the officer shall be deemed guilty
Of a misdemeanor. and upon true bill
FOUND. shall be tried for his offense.
1t is Furthermore provided that in all
cases Of lynching. when death ensues, the
county in which such lynching takes
place shall. without regard TO the con-
duct Of the officers. be liable in exem-
plary damages Of not less than 1900 TO
the representatives Of the person lynch

was clearly shown by the evidence thtt
the lynching had occurred and the de-
PENDANT county offered 40 testimony TO
the contrary. But after the defendants
attorneys had commenced 20 argue the
case before the jury, the presiding judge
stated from the bench that it might save
time TO have the constitution and the
statute under which the suit was brought
construed at that stage Of the case, as
the court thought that the case rested
solely upon such construction. Counsel
consented to this and the judge ruled
that The law had reference entirely to
prisoners who were taken out Of, the
custody of the officers Of the law and
lynched. and not to any persons lynched
otherwise. lie. therefore, ordered the
Jury TO bring in a verdict for the defend
ant. and it was done. An appeal was
taken and the case will be finally passed
upon By the Supreme Court
The decision Of the court Will be await
ed with interest We are curious TO see
what the South Carolinians will do With
this law. We are quite sure that they
will not enforce it.

16O,O 600 miles SO per cent larger than
last year and 10 = per cent larger than
in 1892, all sections showing gains for

Wheat declined three Fights of a cent,
exports being but 2,259,02l bushels for
the week, flour included, against 2,643,.
1870, last year, for both coasts, although
Western receipts were 1851 ,523 bushels,
against 618, 492, last year.
Corn exports are twice last years, g.
37S, 70S bushels against 1,20S, 255 last
year for the week and the price declined

The cotton movement still indicates
a greater surplus than was by anybody
expected, but disastrous floods in Texas
caused a sixteenth advance, which dis
patches from that quarter do not seem
to warrant. Then loss, much or little,
would not materially effect year S
business.
Failures for the week have been 119

This little kingdom is of vast importance
to England as barrier to Russian adj

pays the Ameer large annual stipend in
guise of subsidy and gives him arms and
ammunitaton to strengthen his military

The recent flood in the Brazos Valley,
Texas, were exceedingly destructive be-
side occasioning loss OF life aud much
suffering. Estimates made by cotton
buyers as to the loss resulting from
damage to the cotton crop in the Brazos
valley are that not less than 200 square
miles of cotton bearing land has been
flooded. Basng the loss on five cent
figures, the crops on these plantations
was worth almost 100000. Well in
formed persons are of the opinion that
this unprecedented rise in the Brazos
has cost the people of Texas little less

that prevailed early in the spring have

cause larger cut on the kennebee the

predict that the cut will exceed 100, 000,-

Maine Farmer: Though the cater
pillar fight for the season. is over it is
not too late to learn lesson. Over in
the Catskill mountains in York State
they have discovered way to call them
down. A woman blowing the dinner
horn under maple tree was surprised
with a downpour of caterpllars on her
head and to the ground. This was re-
peated at every succeeding blast. She
told her experience and the noise cure
was adopted throughout the neighbor-
hood. Horns, drums, and conch shells
at once had business. Caterpillars by
the bushel were called down and de-
stroyed. The conch shell seemed to do
the best business. A similar statement
comes from another locality.

PHoENIx papers say the building near Alhambra occupied by Assembly man Arthur during his illness with what was supposed at the time to be smallpox, was burned by unknown parties. In the meant time papers all over the territory are burning up Jim Arthur for accepting $500 in charity, and the liberal gentlemen who voted that amount to him. They want to know what right the Legislature has to compel them to help pay Mir. Arthur's doctor bill, or that of any other man who is not pauper. The TRIBUNE makes no kick over the small amount it is forced to donate for such char itable purposes, notwithstanding MT Arthur is one of our most prominent and well-to-do citizens. Mir.
