A Better Showing.

Hon. Nj. +. Anscl, Solicitor of the
Eighth Circuit, embracing Green
vile, Abbcvillc, Anderson, Oconco
and l'ickens counties, few days
ago forwarded his annual report to
the Attorney General. The report
shows that there were less than lalf
as many murder cases in the circuit
this year as last. OF the twenty
cases this year two were disposed of
in Abbcvillc, eight in Anderson, two
in Oconcc, three in Pickcns and five
in Grccnvilc. Fourteen of the cases
resulted in vcrdicts Of "not guilty."
four "guilty," and in two cases ono
bills' were returned. There were
forty-twn cases Of murder disposed
OF in the circuit last year. There
were 2S2 cases, all told, disposed Of
in the circuit this year, as against
33l last year. The 2S2 resulted in
100 "no bills," 10 "not guilty." and
l24 "guilty." The 33I resulted in
90 "no bil!s," 81 "not guilty." and

A Mothers Constancy.

Early in 1860 John Carrolltou,
then a boy of ii years, residing with
his parents at Bourbon, Ind, struck
his mother in sudden fit of anger.
Ills father punished the boy very
severely for the act, in spite of his
mothers expressed wishes to the
contrary. This caused the boy to
harbor deep resentment and tho de-
termination to abandon his home.
The same night his mother gave him
commission to 60 to the village
and purchase some family supplies.
Ills manner convinced her that he
had determined to run away, and
she told him that no matter how
long he might remain, there would
always be a light in the window to
guide him homo.
That night he disappeared. That
night the sorrowing mother put the
lighted lamp in the window. Mary
years passed away, but during all
that time the ncighbors always saw
that same light in that same window
when night fell. There it burned all
through the long weary nights until
last week. Twenty years passed,
and no tidings were received of tho
wandcrer. The father succumbed to
age and grie! and was laid away in
the cemetery. Then the widowed
mother resumed her vigil, placing
the lamp in the window as before.
Forty years slipped away, and the
aged mother fell dangerously i'll.
But her attendants always placed
the light in the window. Last week
when the train stopped at tho sta
tion chero tail, bearded Hail
stepped from it. lie noticed the
light blazing down the path to the
station and inquired the cause. Then
he heard the story of a mothers
love and faith. lie learned also
that the aged mother was lying sick
and dying. 1t was John Carrollton.
lie hurried to the old home, found
his mother still the same loving
mother of years ago. She took him
to her heart and forgavc the years of
neglect. AS the day broke the light
went out, and with it the spirit of
the watcher. John Carrollton was
alone with his dead after forty
years.

Henry Cabot Lodge, who came here
to nominate Long, is booming Roosevelt
as his personal friend. Delegates from
the west and south have caught the in
fection, and unless there is another
rapid change in the situation the leader
of the rough riders will be nominated
by acclamation on Thursday just as
Mckinley will be put on the ticket the
day before.
The friends of all other candidates for
vice president fully appreciate the situa-
tion and are not making any effort to
stem the tide, which has so suddenly
turned in the Roosevelt direction. Long,
B'iss, Dolliver. Fairbanks, Allison, and
all other possibilities have been abso-
lutely lost sight OF for the time being.
The Roosevelt boom is not merely
hotel gossip, as the Tip seems to have
been spread thru all the delegations and
among some of the strong party leaders.
So rapid has the change come that adj
Eministration leaders seem to be some
what staggered by it, altho they must
have anticipated it all along.
Disinterested men from various states
freely admit that Roosevelt will bring
more strength to the ticket than almost
any other man. and hence they are
quite willing to see him nominated as a
political expediency. if for no other rea-
son.
Delivers friends, in particular, have

general belief that If the New York gov
