Triumph of Law i'm Villa msburg

KINGsTREE, May 21.-Court convened
here today, Judge Gage presiding. The
first case was against the negro Hamlet
McGill for rape, or attempted rape, on
nine-year-old white girl, an account of
which has already been published in the
papers. He was ably defended by Mr.. NJ.
]. Hirsch, assisted by Capt. Kelly, both
of whom were appointed by the court to
do so. Solicitor Wilson conducted the
prosecution in his usual forcible style,
and the case was given to the jury late
this afternoon. They were out about 30
minutes and returned verdict of guilty.
The negro seemed to be perfectly indiifer-
ent to the court proceedings, and | do
not believe he yet realizes the awful real
ity that is before him. He was sentenced
to be hanged Friday, June 18th. He never
moved muscle when the death sentence
was passed on him and remained stoical
and immovable to the last.

LOUISVILLE, May 21.-Gov. Taylor late
this afternoon issued the following Or
der:
To Gen. D. r. Collier, Frankfort, KY.
The supreme court Of the United States
having decided in favor of Mr.. Beckham,
nothing now remains to be done except
to dismiss the militia and surrender your

PEACE AND UNITY.

In an editorial in the State newspaper
last Thursday morning about the work
of the State convention we find the fol-
lowing:
We are sorry the occasion has arrisen,
but, since it has, We are compelled to
state our mind in regard to the attack
made by our friend, Mr.. L. W. Youmans,
on Senator Tillman 1t was grave
mistake, and if Mr.. Youmans had consult
ed his friends in advance We are sure
thew would have told him so and discou-
ragged the utterance. Our opinion of B.
r. Tillman is pretty well known. We
do not love him, do not admire him, We
would like him, for State reasons, for
reasons antedating 1890, to put himself
in the wrong, to make himself subject to
just censure by the Democracy of South
Carolina. But-truth is truth-we have
to admit, when put to it, that his course
in the United States senate, while subject
at times to just criticism of language and

We are glad to say that from what we
can learn large majority of our people
favor the levying of a tax to support a
good graded school in Bamberg. Our
present tax levy is very small-we are
not taxed to death by any manner OF
'means-and the small amount asked for
to establish the school will not lay bur
den on any one On next Thursday we
shall expect our people to roll up good
majority for the school. Any argument
that we could use in its favor would be
s.threshing old straw" and we would
only add that, in our opinion, it is mat
ter of self preservation. Every property
owner in the district will be benefited by
the establishment of 6rst-class graded
school here.

Beck ham is Governor.

WASHINGTON, May 21-The United
States supreme court today decided the
Kentucky governorship case in favor OF
Democratic Gov. Beckham in both the
quo warranto and the equity proceedings
For want of jurisdiction the court dis
missed the writ of error from the Ken
lucky court of appeals. The opinion was
handed down by Chief Justice Fuller,
and vigorous dissenting opinion was
delivered by Justice Harlan, the only
one to advocate reversal of the Kentucky
courts decision. Justices Brewer, Brown,
and McKenna also dissented from por-
tions of the opinion. .......,., -.
In dismissing the writ OF error the
chief Justice said the court should be the
last to overstep the bounds limiting its
own Jurisdiction, and that in the deter
mination of cases of this character, con-
tests for State offices must necessarily be
settled by the political branch Of the
government. That branch had acted in
the Kentucky case when the general as
sembly took jurisdiction. There was no
appeal from the assemblys decision
which was favorable to Goebel and Beck
ham, except to the tribunal of the people,
which tribunal, the chief justice said, was
always in session. He also said the case
was purely State case-that Kentucky
was in the full possession of its faculties
was member of the Union, and that
there was no emergency at this time call
ing for interference of the general gov
ernment to enforce constitutional guar
antees or to put down domestic violence.
For more than 100 years the constitu-
ton of Kentucky has provided that con-
tested elections for governor and lieu
tenant governor shall be determined by
the general assembly.
"The highest court of the State has
often held, and in the present case has
again declared, that under these consti-
tutional provisions the power of the
general assembly to determine the result
is exclusive. and that its decision is not
open to judicial review. Many of the
States have similar constitutional pro-
visions and similar statutes"
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1900-05-24

Some people in Washington gave the
Boer delegates a public reception at
which strong speeches of sympathy with
their cause were made. Our govern
ment received them kindly, but declined
to interfere, and the Q. S. Senate very
wisely refused them the privileges of the
floor, although several Senators spoke in
their behalf. In this we endorse the &C
ton of the administration. The English
people are nearer our flesh and blood
than any other nation, and it's as little as
we can do to keep our mouths shut about
their row with the Beers. They may be
wrong, but there is an old story about a
man who became rich minding his own
business, and the United States is show
ing good sense in not meddling in affairs
where we are not concerned.

IS We can see no reason why money aris-
ing from the levy of taxes on many poor
people in the State should be appropriat-
ed to scheme to benefit Charleston. The
statement of the Charleston Evening
Post that ''the exposition will be great
affair for Charleston but it will be a
greater for South Carolina, for all that is
gained by the city is gained also by the
State, and much will come to the State
beside that will not be of any direct bene-
fit to the city" is ''too absurd PROPOSE
tion for discussion" Since when did
Charleston spend her money for an enter
prise that would benefit some other Sec
ton? If the exposition was not for the
benefit of that city her citizens would not
put their money into it, and it is simply
outrageous to talk of appropriating the
peoples money for show to help Char
lesion. Fact is, we see no good to be de-
rived from the exposition in an advertis-
ing way. The business houses of Char
lesion will be helped by the building go
ing on before and the boarding houses,
hotels, street cars, ETC., benefited by the
crowd attending while the exposition is
in progress, and that is about all. # Char
lesion can make success of her show,
well and good, but we shall fight the idea
of State appropriation to any such
scheme, and the people of Bamberg coun-
ty will back us up in it. We have no ill
will against the city, and wish the expo
sition all success, but it is not right for
other counties to pay taxes for an expo
sition which will not do them particle
of good. Let Charleston have her expo
sition, but let her people who are to reap
the benefits foot the bills.
