Mr.. l.. ID. Morris, who wrote the
Governor complaining Of an injustice
he had suffered struck the right note,
but the Governor could furnish him no
relief. Mr.. Morris, Il farmer, had been
bound over rs Il witness in the Taylor
murder case, and required to give bond
for his appearance at court. If he had
failed to come II bench warrant could
have been issued for him and he could
have been locked up in Jail. But MIR.
Morris, like Il good law abiding citizen,
obcys the summons, comes to court,
leaves his farm that needed his atlcn-
tion and spends three or four days harc,
but is not put ON the stand and there
fore gets no pay for his time, not even
the so cents day allowed witnesses.
The judge has to certify the witness is
material, and because nc was not cx-
amincd he cannot do it. II that is the
law it should be changed. 1t is not
right TO make Il man leave his work
and attend court and not pay him. 1t
Is no fault of his that he is not exam

E. IL. AULL, EDITOR.

The recommendation Of the New
berry grand jury that those counties
that have no dispcnsarics should not
receive II portion of tho dispensary
profit is no new question, rs it was dis
cusscd in tho Legislature ut tho last
session. 1t is in some respects knotty
question: At u casual glance it looks
very unreasonable to give to II county
money from the profits OF Il commodity
which that county refuses to handle,
and which has been made out Of the
people of another county. We say at u
casual glance it looks right that this
money should go back to the schools Of
the counties which pay it. That, too,
is the selfish view if you live in coun-
ty that pays any considerable part of
this money. 1t SO happens in the dis
tributiOn Of this fund that some Of the
counties that paid nothing to the fund
directly because they had no dispcnsa-
RIGS had the largest enrolment or rath-
or fell further behind the three dollars
per capita and therefore received more
of this fund than any other counties.
But there is another view to take Of
this matter. This fund that is being
distributed is not Il county fund buta
State fund. Tho county receives its
profit directly and the money is not
sent to Columbia or turned over to the
State at all. Then those counties that
have it owe something TO the poorer
counties and the needy schools and
children OF these poorer counties.
Some counties pay great deaf more
towards the support of the State gov
crnmcnt than others because they have
moro wealth and yet they receive no
more protection or consideration than
the poorer counties. The town Of New
berry pays more in the three mills con-
stitutiNnal tax than she gets for the
schools within her limits and it goes to
the other schools in the county, and
yet there is no protest because it has
gone into the general school fund
of the county and will help those
that are not as able rs those Of
distribution of this State fund. In
other words we must not cXpccta direct
return to us Of everything we do or pay.
1t is necessary to do something for the
general welfare and if we do, and whrn
VIC do, we always receive the reflex in
llucncc. II helps the State to help Cd
ucate those children who are not able
TO educate themselves, and that is all
that is being done in the present plau
OF distributing this fund. If called
upon to defend or serve the State these
counties would help as readily rs any.
This is one vicw Of this question that we
should look at when we come to make
recommendation to the Legislature.
We must look out and beyond ourselves
and consider the general welfare and
remember that this is a State fund and
not county fund, that the counties
that have dispcnsarics have already re-
ccivcd their share of the profits. Let
us not be too selfish.

"erc Omitted from tho Report-Thrco d.

YcBtorday and Cali to SEQ
Governor McSwec-
nCy.
(Thc State, 13th.)


Tho Governor yesterday received q
letter from Mr.. w. T.. Stevenson giving
additional facts which the pcnitcntiary
Investigating committee omitted from
the report in the hurry to finish it,.
The letter wao dated Tate Springs
Tenn, August 10th, and reads az fol-
lows:
Dear Sir: The report Of the Dcnitcn-
tlary investigating committee rs pub
lishcd in the papers has lust reached
me, and see that my efforts so con-
dense the figures on the farming opera
tons for 1898, we left it unintclligiblc,
fear.
This results from the fact that We
tried to condcrGc in indicating to the
typewriter and did not use the tabulatcd
statements which had been made up
ana carefully verified. | give the state
mcnt below in tabular form, and it
should be placed with the report as OK
hibit b, attaching this letter in toto.
The obscurity arises from failure to
mention that we charged the manage
mcnt with balance Of crop on band July
|, 1898, from the crop Of 1897. From the
1897 report it would appear that there
was on hand then about $40, 600 worth
OF that years crop and only 81 49, .S2
was reported rs cash for tho sale of the
same, (l'agc 81 Report of lS0S), SO we
thought it was safe to charge them with
$4,000 worth consumed in 1898 from the
crop Of 1897, being about onc-third of
the amount the report apparently
shows. We then credit them with 80
'll5 Of crop on hand July /, 1898, being
u liberal estimate.

AFRICANDERS ARE PRACTICALLY ONE.
England Must Face an Army Of 10000 II
War Should Be Declared.

Chicago, Sept. ia meeting held In
the Chicago Avenue church last night,
presided over by Rev. James M. Gray,
d. D., of Boston, listened to missionary
address by Rev. II. S. Bosnian, native
of the Transvaal, and pastor of large
church in Pretoria, now on his way to
the Pan-P byteran council at Wash
ington. He spoke on the religious, social
and political condition of that people.
On the latter point, he said:
1T is not generally known that a new
nation is forming in South Africa. The
word boer' means farmer, and if one
may judge by their flial piety and moral
conduct the beers are the aristocracy of
the nation. They are descended from
the Huguenots, who went to the Cape in
1888.
up to 30 years ago they cared nothing
about politics. The national awakening
is due to ]. II. Hofmeyer, and the Afri-
kander bund, a powerful political as
ISOLATION which now controls the min
istry in the Cape Colony, The sympathy
of this party in the colony is with the
beers in the present crisis with England,
so that it can now be said that the $780,
600 colonial Afrikanders and the 1870 900
Orange Free State Afrikanders and the
900 Transvaal Afrikanders are all
practically one.
imperialism and jingoism in England
are Fastening their unification into an
African nation which will ultimately be
independent They take their politics
as well as their religion from the Bible,
and this is why President Kruger is the
man of strength he is. England seeks
to be the paramount power in South
Africa, but she must face an army Of
1000 Afrikanders altogether, and this
means that she must send three times
that number to do so"
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1899-09-13


terhazy was swindler, who cared for
nothing except money, and that Colonel
Schwarzkoppen had written the petit
bleu" in answer to a communication from
Esterhazy. Then he changed his mind
about sending it and threw the pieces in
the fireplace, whence they must have
been rescued by the spy.
Labori at this point requested permits
sion to call Panizzardi and Schwarzkop-
pen, military attaches respectively of
Italy and Germany at the time of Drey-
fus' arrest. The matter was taken under
advisement by the court and in the
meantime Labor telegraphed the king of
Italy and the emperor of Germany re-
questing them to permit the attaches to
testify in case they should be called. Ii
is said that both monarchs gave qualified
assent but the court eventually decided
that it would not hear them.
1t developed at this point that Cernu-
schi, the witness who had testified that
he had seen Dreyfus at a German resort
during important military maneuvers,
had broken down completely at the Sc
cret session and had admitted that he
was mistaken in his identification.
AT this time the testimony had practi-
cally all been taken, and while number
of witnesses who had previously given
their evidence were recalled no new mat
ter was brought out, and on Sept. Ma
jor Carriere made his closing address for
the prosecution. He was followed the
next day by Maitre Demange for the de-
Tense. His address continued until Sat
urday, Sept. .. Upon its conclusion the
court martial rose and retired to deliber.
ate, returning short time later with its
verdict of guilty"

Narragansett Pier. r. l.. Sept. H.
The medical examiners report on the
somewhat mysterious death of Frank
II. Shaw, the Brooklyn car inspector
has been forwarded to the attorney gen
eral by Medical Examiner Burns
Shaw's body was found on Scarborough
Beach, Aug. IL, one hand and a leg being
tied together. The report says that
Shaw met his death from a blow in
ilicted by persons unknown to the eX-
aminer; that the killing was the result
of fight, rather than deliberate, and
that the man was killed prior to being
thrown into the water. The testimony
proved that the tide could have carried
the body from the middle of the channel
of the bay to the beach where it was
found,
