An Important Decision.

The Supreme Court of tho United
States, on the 10th of April rendered a
very important decision in tho case OF
the knights of Pythias VS.. Josephine II.
Withcrs. The action was begun in Ala
bama by Mrs. Withcrs to recover on a
policy held by her husband in tho En-
dowmcnt Rank. Payment was resisted
on the ground that tho secretary of tho
section in which Withcrs resided, failed
TO make his return in premiums paid
within the required time. Tho Endow-
mcnt Rank made the claim that tho
secretary was tho agent of tho insured
only, and not tho agent of tho order,
therefore the body was not responsible
for his neglect. The Supreme Court of
the United States has held that as secre-
tary of section he is the agent of tho
Endowment Rank. The Endowment
Rank was ordered to pay Mrs. Withcrs
the amount of money duo hcr.-Pythian

Tillman Captures Charleston.

Senator Tillman seems to have cap
turcd Charleston, lock, stock and barrel.
In the News and Courier of Thursday
appears tho following:
"rho oldest inhabitants may remember
II day when the voters of Charleston
were not hunting around for 0pportu-
mites to cast their ballots for Senator
Tillman. But times change and men
change with them. When the next cleo
tion rolls around the unterrificd Democ-
racy of this good old city will fall over
itself in an effort to show its apprecia-
tion of the man who stood by Charleston
when she wanted someone to stand by
her in Washington. 1t is not probable,
Of course, that Senator Tillman will
have any opposition to speak of when
the time for his reelection to the Senate
comes; hut it is safe to predict that he
will have few if any more loyal sup
pOrtcrS in tho State than the Charleston
people will be. Every business man in

YOUR BUSINESS

his drunken stupor, the matches took
fire and smelling the sulphur fumes,
and feeling the burning, he rose in
great fear and repentance, cxclaim
ing: "Just as expected in hell
and roasting; that's what comes of
following tho Yankees" Another,
which usually caught the negro, vas
the experience of a repcntant darkey
who was used for the benefit Of the
politicians. Gov. Scott and the
darkcy wanted to get into heaven,
but as no man could enter except on
horseback, and neither had a horse,
the Governor proposed that tho
darkey should cover himself with an
old horse hide and carry tho Cover
nor through the gates on his back.
The horse hide was procured and
after long, steep and stony ascent,
the gates of heaven were reached ;
the Governor knocked loudly at the
gates; st. Peter appeared with a
long white beard, flowing robes and
big bunch of keys in his hands and
said "Good evening Governor, light,
throw your bride over that hitching
post and come in." TO the negro he
said, awe don't allow no donkcys to
enter the gates Of heaven" The
darkcy remarked, "l jest stood there
tied to that hitching post till almost
starved to death, and amt seen

us in the canvass, thus described

He thus has mot

The first hc over paid;
TO heaven we know
He did not go,
Too mean to pay tho toll;
We know in hell ho does not dwell,
For Wallace had no soul.
Future employment was promised
those who voted with the whites and
those who voted against them were
threatened, not only with discharge,
but that they should never be en-
ploycd in the future.
In dealing with that class Of igno-
rant and prcjudicod people, how
ever, more could be accomplished
through bodily fear than all the rea-
soning and promises in the world.
SO the cred shirt" companies were
formed in every section of the State,
and at all political gatherings, and
frequently at night, they paraded on
horseback with plenty of firearms
visible, and dressed in red flannel
shirts or blouscrs. While there was
no actual violence done to the per-
SOD, there was so much shooting,
yelling, "IIurrah for IIampton," and
noise Of every description made,
that many of the negroes were de-
tered from appearing on election
day.
There were riots, however, at Cain
hoy, Strawberry Ferry, near Char
lesion, in which white men were
killed, and in Edgciicld and Barn
well counties, in which negroes were
killed.

HUM FAY DISCHARGED.
Chinaman on Trial For Passing a
Bogus Dollar.

Hum Fay, the Chinese restaurant man,
who was arrested on the charge of hav-
ing attempted to pass a counterfeit sill
yer dollar, had a hearing before U. S.
Commissioner Wood last evening. The
complaining witness was j. L. Brown.
Hum Fay was defended by w "A. Clark,
Jr. and Jesse 3. Roote.
Browns story was to the effect that he
had rendered Hum a S. bill in payment of
a Is cent meal and had received four sill
yer dOllars and IS cents in change. Three
days later he discovered that one of the
silver dollars was counterfeit. He re-
turned to the Chinese u and
asked u to give him a good dollar for
the spurious coin, but his request was re-
fused and Brown had the Chinaman ar
rested.
Attorney Roote put up an eloquent talk
for the celestial. He said that no jury
could convict the Chinaman on such tes-
timony as it was not shown that Hum
had known that it was a spurious coin,
Judge English took the same view of the
case n the defendant was discharged.
