Bad for the Pu olIc Schools.

Important action was taken last
week by the State board of di-
rectors of the dispensary relative
to the new price lists, which will
give the counties chance to make
about 10 per cent more than they
are cow making. 1t is under,
stood that the reduction in the in
voice price to dispensers will not
affect prices to consumers and the
object of the reduction, which is
said to have been according to
legislative directions, is to give
the cities and towns and the coun
ties more of the profits and re-
duce the annual fund paid to the
general school fund to about
$4,000 a year. Heretofore
about 800, 900 has been paid an
nually and it Is asserted that il
this were kept up the schools
will have the whole profit.
There are many counties, how
ever, which always devote the
money received from the dispen.
sary to school purposes. There
areOothers which use it for gen.
eral purposes, and no legislative
requirement has been made as to
its disposition. Rock Hill Her.

Editor Hull Giving the Subject
Prayerful Attention.

In recent issue The Yorkville
Enquirer nominated Editor Hull
of the Rock Hill Herald to repre-
sent York county in the Legisla-
ture. Editor Hull thus responds:
"When IN February last the
editor of The Herald was elected
to the first office ever offered to
that of city alderman, with
no emoluments in sight but lot
of cussin' in store for him-he
stated that he felt that he was
speedily on the way to the White
House. Now comes the York
VILE Enquirer and IN the inno-
cenCe of its guileless soul, nomi-
mates the aspiring and perspiring
editor for a seat in the Legislature. Q.
Great Scot and Holy Moses
What means all thi, heapins of
honors on us so suddenly? What
have we done to be thus exalted
in a twinklingl 'Tis a consum-
nation devoutIy to be wished
but there comes the rub-whethe
1t is not better to bear the taunts
of enraged aIdermanic constituents
or fly to the Legislature and be
kicked out of town the first time
the outraged people get sight Of
their representative" How
ever, We shall give tho subject
prayerful attention, and if we
conclude to place ourself in the
hands of the very dear people
with the Enquirer as our sponsor,
We shall expect to head the ticket
at one end or the other. Be-
hevlng there Is urgent demand for
our services and that there must
still be better things ahead, We
cave the subject until our return
from the Pythian meeting in the
city by the sea, where we will
doubtless get another lucrative
job.
We do not indeed know the
needs of the dear people. their
sisters, their cousins and their
aunts, but they seem not to have
known our needs, else they would
have given us a good job long
ago"

Washington Post, 10th inst.

Washington Post, 10th inst.
Judge Thomas j Mackey and
his wife, Katherine Mackey, who
was recently adiudged insane by
Justice Cole, in the district court,
left their boarding place on Prince
street, in Alexandria, last night
under somewhat exciting circum-
stances. They boarded an elec-
trio car bound for Washington,
but alighted at Arlington junction,
where they waited for some time
and then returned to Alexandria.
They did not return to the Prince
street house, however, but sought
quarters
Prior to their departure from
Alexandria there was quite a
scene in front of 11O4 Prince
street, where the Mackey's board
ed. An excited crowd of several
hundred people gathered, and all
sorts of indignant comments and
expressions were heard, but there
was no demonstration when the
couple left the house. Early in
the day some trouble occurred
between Judge Mackey and fel,
low boarder, and during the alter-
cation Macbey was upbraided by
his wife. Angry words passed
between the two, with the result
that at 3 o'clock Mackey left tie
house, saying he would not re
turn. He did return, however,
about dusk, when another quarrel
ensued between him and his wife.
During this quarrel the landlady
swooned and had to be carried
from the room. At her request
the police were summoned, and
Lieut. Smith aud Policeman Sher-
wood soon appeared on the scene.
At the request of the landIady
Lieut. Smith suggested to Maekey
the advisability of seeking other
quarters, as his presence ut 11O4
Prince street was not desirable.
At this time Mrs Mackey ex-
pressed desire to speak private.
ly to Lieut. Smith, but her aged
husband declined to permit it.
Finally the Mackeys left, in
search of other quarters, but
were unable to procure accommo-
dations, and at about 8 O'Clock
returned for their trunk and lett
the citv on the 9:3O train. Quite
a crowd of men and women fol-
lowed them, and the parting be-.
tween Mrs Mackey and the few
ladies with whom she had become
acquainted during her stay here
was most affecting.

- NaHI tO' bS
State Democratic convention to
day was harmonious for the first
time in decale, and unit for
Bryan and the Chicago platform
with added planks. w F Steven
son, of Cheraw, presided. He
congratulated the State upon the
harmony in tho Democratic ranks.
The delegation to tho national
convention was after the debate
instructed to vote as a unit upon
all matters. The delegates at
largo are: Senator B Il Tillman,
Governor VI b McSweeney, State
Chairman Willie Jones, and A @
Latimer. From the congression-
al districts: First district, w B
Wilson, Thomas Talbert; second
district, James H Tillman, G w

The platform declares allegiance
to the national party and demands
reaffirmation of the Chicago plat
form at Kansas City. 1t con-
demns the financial legislation of
the Republican party as sub
servient of the trusts and national
banks. 1t decries the power of
trusts and the hypocritical atti-
tude OF the Republican party,
"using money stolen from the
people to debauch the ignorant
voters.
1t denounces tho foreign policy
of President Mckinley, saying:
"The benevolent assimilation of
the Fllipinos has proven it 10 an
outrage to the consciences of liber-
ty-loving Americans. Our free
institutions cannot long surviv
the destruction of those principles
on which they rest, and th. snec-
tacle of subject peoples held down
by the bayonet and robbed by
carpet baggsrs, but foreshadows
the fate of our country, unless the
people are aroused to our danger.
The unjust war of subjugation
now being carried on in the Phil.
ippines by President Mckinley
should be ended ut once"
The platform demands strict
adherence on the part of the
United States government to the
solemn pledges by which Congress
promised independence to the
Cuban patriots. The treatmen of
Porto Rico is also condemned, and
the wise party leadership of Bryan
Is commanded, "belieying that he
will restore the lost prestige of the
high Office of President"
England's course in the Trans.
vaal is denounced. The platform
says: "Great Britain's unrights>
Gus course deserves the condem-
nation Of all lovers of self,govern>
ment. and we denounce the COW
ardice Of the present administers
tion for not extending an offer of
its good Offices to terminate the
unholy war Of subjugation."
Colonel Lawrence w Youmans
made a bitter attack on Senator
Tillman's record, but the conven
ton, with the exception of his
vote, passed resolutions endorsing
his policy in opposing Imperialism.
The convention passed resolutions
condemniDg the jute trust.

Statement by Baptist Minister of
Circumstances Under Which he
Killed Belllnger.

johnson, tno Baptist minister at
Bamberg, who recently shot and
killed w I Bellinger, gives more
fully than has heretofore been
Published the circums stances of the
unfortunate killing and we publish
it below. There were twenty>one
affidavlts read at the hearing for
bail, more or less conflicting. As
has been before published Mr..
johnson was granted bail in the
sum of $2,0 by Justice Pope.
Before me per sonally appeared
William E johnson, who, being
duly sworn, deposes and says:
That he Is SO years old and has
been ordained minister of tho
Baptist church for eleven years
past, and for the past three years
has been in charge of the Bam berg
Baptist church, at Bsmberg, in
the said State. That the pastoral
residence, or parsonage in which
defendant resides with his family,
which consists of his wife and
four children, is situated upon the
same block of the town with that
of Mr.. John r Bellinger, immedi
ately adjoining each other and
separated only by a dividing fence.
That deponent moved to his said
residence in October or ber,
1898, and up to the month of
June, 1899, the relations between
the two families were peaceable.
That in the month of June, 1899.
deponent was called on profess
sionally y to perform the marriage
ceremony between Mr.. Joseph
K Brown and Miss Jennie Bellin-
ger, daughter of the said Mr.
John K Bellinger, both of whom
appeared to be, and deponent is
informed were, of lawful age; e,
above the age of 81 years. That
after this marriage, which it seems
did not meet the approval of Mr..
John r Be!linger and his family,
they became extremely hostile to
deponent, often abusing him to
his face and in the hearing of his
wife and children in the most ex-
trsme manner, and showing this
hostility towards him by many
of those irritating, unneighborly
ways, which are so easy to do and
SO hard to bear. Deponent bore
it all with that fol titude and resip,
nation which his calling required.
That the manner in which he was
treated by this family became a
matter of public notoriety. and he
was assured by many that be ought
to take steps to have it stopped,
as it was lessening his influence
for the good of the community.
That about SIX weeks ago a young
man of the town of Bamberg, in
sympathy with the Bellingers
without the slightest cause, rudely
accosted deponent in one of the
public streets, called him liar
and struck him in the face, fore
ing hlm TO defend himself.
PAINTING THE DIVISION FENCE.
That about two weeks ago a
colorsd painter by the name of
Walker, who was painting Mr..
Bellinger's house and fence, came
to deponent's house and asked
leave to come into deponent's
yard to paint the division fence
between the two lots. Deponent
consented, provided he would
paint the bottom board of the
fence as we'll as the balance. This
he promised to do, but did not do,
deponent called his attention to it
from time to time, each time re-
naIriIac< a..ax.> 49, 1 =
The Lancaster ledger. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1852-1905, 1900-05-19

tne renee at the intersection of the
division fence and the front fence,
on the street: deponent ordered
Walker to get out of his yard.
He hesitated, looking first at the
deceased and then at deponent,
Be'linger ordered the man to paint
on, and deponent insisted on his
gong out and he started to go
and Bellinger ordered him to
paint on, and the painter would
act as if he intended to obey,
when deponent peremptorily or
dered him out and he went.
BELLING Err HAD A PISTOL.
Mr.. w L BelIinger then said
the fence would be painted, and
cursed deponent d - ong-lipped
of a, and much more of the
same abuse, repeating that he
would see that the fence was
painted; deponent finally said he
could not come into the road and
talk to deponent that way, when
deceased jumped off the fence to
his fathers gate, came out and
stood by the post with drawn
pistol in his hand. Deponent had
not noticed before that he had
pistol, and said: 'You are armed,
eh 2" and turned and walked back
into the house. Nothing more
passed that day. The next day
.defOnent came out of his gate to
go the postofice, when he met
MIR. Joe Brown in his buggy, who
asked him to take a seat with him,
and they drove down town. Mr..
Brown told depouent that he had
heard of the difficulty of the day
before and that he had heard of
the threats made by the deceased
against deponent and warned him
to protect himself. Mr.. Brown
got out of the buggy at Jones
stable and told .deponent to drive
around to the postoffice, and to
hitch the horse there, in the rear
of the postotfice, which deponent
did. Deponent got his mail and
returned home. While at the
post Office deponent was warned
to look out for Mr.. Bellinser-
that he had made threats to kill
him. On deponent' S return home
he saw MIR. Joe Brown coming
towards mis- home in his buggy,
and deponent started out to meet
him, and seeing Mr.. w T BeIlin.
ger across the street, he picked
up a gun, which a friend had pnt
into bis possession the day before,
telling him to use 1t to protect
himself with, and that he would
need it to protect his life, and
took 1t out with him holding it in
his hands.
THE FATAL AFFRAY
Mr.. Bellinger came walking to-
wards his fathers house, while
deponent was walking by the bug
gy with his hands upon the shafts,
the horse being restless, moving
/ forward step at the time, Mr..
Brown pulling him back and en-
deavoring to restrain him, which
drew deponent and deceased nearer
together, when suddenly MIR.
Brown pulled his horse back, and
backing some feet left dsponent

ELECTIONS N G|JBA
For Delegates to the Consti-
tutionaI Convention
SET FOR SEPTEMBER IS
Uncle Sam viii Keep His
Foot on the Brake.

Washington, July 20.-It is understood
that the president and General Wood
have agreed on September Is as the time
for holding the election in Cuba for dele
gates to the constitutional convention
that is to be called for the purpose Of
formulating a constitution for an indie
pendent government for Cuba On the
return of General Wood to Cuba ne will
confer with the leaders of the Cuban peo-
pie as to the details of the election and
as to what restrictions, If any, should be
placed upon universal suffrage in the
island. 1t is now hoped that the consti-
tutional convention will be held before
the end of the year, and if possible, as
early as October Is. There IS no doubt
that any constitution that may be formed
will be scrudnized carefully by the presi-
dent, and possibly by congress- before It
is allowed to go into operation, for it is
the settled conviction of the officials that
Cuba should not be permitted to make
treaties with foreign nations except
through the United States; neither should
the people be allowed to involve the
island in debt unless authorized to do so
by this government.
