ator ELECT BiackDurnS proposition to re-
peal the Goebel law in Kentucky Is not
new. Il is known that he favored this In
the negotiations with the Republicans
which Immediately followed the death OF
Goebel. 1t is recalled that shortly after
Goebels death peace conference" was
held in Louisville between Senator Black
burn. Governor Beckham. former Governor
McCreary. and several other Democrats Of
equal prominence on the one side and John
Marshall. who was elected Lieutenant Gov
ernor on the ticket with Taylor. and
number of other leading Republicans on
the other side. The result OF this peace
conference was an agreement for the
usurping Taylorites to surrender their Of
fees to the righttully elected Democrats,
with the distinct promise that an extra
session of the Legislature would be con-
vened for the purpose of repeating the OBJ
iectionable Goebel election law 1t will
also be remembered that Taylor. contrary
to the advice of all Of the better element
of Republicans in Kentucky, stubbornly
refused to sign this agreement. If he had
done SO he would have Jared better in the
estimation of the State and nation than
he now fares. Probably the prosecution
against him for alleged completely in the
conspiracy to assassnate Goebel would not
have been pushed. In a word, II Taylor had
agreed to the proposition formulated by
some of the ablest men in Kentucky, rep.
resenting both parties, he might not now
be a fugitive from justice. A part of the
agreement was not to prosecute any Of
those who were unlawfully holding State
offices at Frankfort for participation In the
Goebel murder plot. At that time the hot
heads among the Goebel leaders were quite
as much opposed to the peace agreement
as was Taylor himself. and they criticised
Senator Blackburn very severely for the
part he had In formulating the agreement.
These same hotheads are now abusing
Blackburn for advising the repeal OF the
Goebel law 1t is not believed. however,
that their abuse will deter Senator Black
burn and other conservative leaders from
prevailing upon Governor Beckham to con-
vene the Legislature in special session to
wipe from the statutes OF Kentucky a code
of laws that may endanger the Democratic
national ticket

MILLS OF JUSTICE
GRIND ON MONDAY.
November Term of Superior Court
Convenes.
STRONG CHARGE OF THE COURT
Judge LittlejOhn is Explicit in Charg-
ing The Grand Jury First Week
of Civil Business. Criminal Docket
Up Next Monday Morning.

Sumter superior court convened Mon
day morning, and with such celebrity
was the machinery put in motion that
before 10 o'clock the grand jury was or
ganlzed and at work while the court
was busily engaged in the trial of cases.
And considerable number of these
were cleared from the dYcket.
The grand jury, which is an excep-
tionally strong body, organized by
making Mr.. George W. Glover fore
man. The jury is made up of the fol-
lowing we'll known citizens.
CIV Glover, s A Walters, Nj B Coun-
Gil, JAJ Wilder, G M Harper, W r
Dorm, John F Daniel, W P Page,
J L Adderton, G r Whitley, Rev G W
Mathews, G. w. Jennings, W @ Tins
ley, T q Hewett, J Fl Dawson, E L
Wilson, G S S Horne, I Hitler, w Z
Finch, J W Harris, ] Giddings, j Ell
Daniel, ] Hanesley.
Judge Littlejohn'S charge to the
grand jury was clear, explicit and force
full, making deep suppression upon
that body, as upon others present.
It covered the usual infractions Of
law to be investigated, but laid par
ticular stress upon violations of the 10
cal option law. Judge Littlejohn wat
most explicit upon this subject, and
under such ruling of the court the
grand jury will look carefully after
these matters.
Many crimes, Judge Littlejohn said
resulted from the non-enforcement Of
the law in seemingly trivial otfenses,
and he charged the grand jury to in
vestigate all cases with due care.
On proceeding to business the court
announced that this week would be de-
voted to civil business and next week
to criminal, though there are but few
Jail cases to be tried and most of these
upon minor charges. There will be nc
session of the court Thursday.
Most of the afternoon session was
consumed in the trial of the case of the
Montgomery National Building and
Loan Association versus Mrs. Rebecca
Mize and J. W. M1ze, which was not
concluded.

COTTON HAS FALLEN
THIRTY-ONE POINTS.
News From Abroad Caused Drol
Monday.
BULL ELEMENT WAS STAMPEDE

wise Position of Cotton is Stronger
Than Ever Before.

Americas cotton men were given a
surprise yesterday by slump of thir-
ty-one points IN contract cotton, and
they fear the end is not yet. The
cable news at the opening yesterday
was the first surprise, foreign markets
dropping heavily, and during the day
New York followed suit as above
stated. January, which three days
ago ruled steady at 9.98, closed yester-
day at 8 SO, loss of forty points or
nearly half cent. Political condi-
tions abroad and rumors of the death
of the Gear caused yesterdays decided
break and private sdvices from New
York predicted further decline today.
which may or may not be realized
The position of cotton, however, is too
strong for prices to remain down, and
sharp reaction will follow this tenn
porary depression of the market.

MAKES FINE SUGAR AND SYRUP
Sumter Can Beat the World on Both
Products.

Mr.. James W. Bailey, one of Sum-
ter's most progressive and successful
planters, is demonstrating what can be
done in Georgia in the manufacture of
sugar and syrup from sugarcane, and
his efforts upon this line, and on a
large scale, are most successful.
The south cannot produce finer
syrup and sugar than he exhibits.
MIR. Bailey sent the Times-Recorder
a sample of each Yesterday, both of
which were carefully inspected by peo-
pie competent to pass judgment there
on, and were pronounced excellent.
From field of ten acres of cane Mr..
Bailey has made 1900 gallons of beau
tiful syrup and 500 pounds of sugar.
His crop of cane was only two-thirds
an average yield, but 200 gallons of
syrup and 80 pounds of sugar per acre
seems a most profitable result.
Mr.. Bailey puts up his syrup in tin
cans, Theoretically sealed, which for
years has been sold by local merch-
ants. It's richness of flavor is thus re-
tanned an indefnite time.
Mr.. Bailey uses the best appliances
in syrup making, and by centrifugal
process every particle of molasses is
extracted from the sugar and not al
lowed to drip out, as by the old pro-
cess. The sugar is dry and pure, and
as fine as any made in New Orleans.
During a period of twenty-five years
Mr.. Bailey has made sugar and syrup
for home use, and his great success
should open up larger field for this
important industry.
