FIGHTING FEDERAL TAXES.
Counsel for south Carolina Files
Brief Mt Washington.

washington, Aug. 27.-Franklin H.
Mackey, attorney for South Carolina in
the claims for rebate of wholesale and
retail liquor licenses paid by the South
Carolina dispensary, to-day filed an adj
ditional brief with Mr.. Yerkes, the
commissioner of internal revenue.
The position taken by Mr.. Mackey is
that, independently of the constitution
al question in the case, the revenue
laws of the United States States have
no application whatever to the dispen-
saries. The dispensary system, it is
claimed, is a state institution, and be-
ing such, is not taxable under the rev.
enue law.
Reference is made to the section of
the revenue law under which retail
LIQUOR dealers are taxable, and Mr..
Mackey contends that the Supreme
Court has held that the word per
son." mentioned in the law, does not
include a state. The dispensaries, he
holds, are state institutions, and he
SAYS the taxes, if payable at ALL are
payable by the state, which he con-
tends is not liable to pay such tax.
Mr.. Mackey further insists that even
if Congress had intended to include a
state within the provisions of the reve-
nue. law such intention would have been
futile, because ever since the days of
Chief Justice Marshall it has been held
by the Supreme Court in repeated de-
cisions that the federal government has
no more power to tax a st ate institu-
ton than the state has to tax an insti
tuition of the federal government.

r,,ruer Favors Banishment for Ne
gro Criminals. y
Atlanta. Aug. 7.-Bishop Turner of
+be African Methodist Church. said in
an interview to-day, with regard to
the best manner of preventing the
crime of assaulting among negroes:
81 am as much convinced as ever
that African emigration would be best
for the negro and best for the white
man. There is an Irresistible conflict
between whites and blacks that moth
ing but separation can reconcile and
put an end to.
"Our children are generated and nur-
tured under a malignant and nissan
+hropic excitement that will wreck this
country and make our civilization a
Mss and a by-word. And if it is a fact
mat the negro will not let white wo-
men alone, then white men owe it to
their manhood and honor to get rid of
him; and if they will open up a high
way to Africa millions of the black
race will go.
Rather than she'd so much blood,
and possibly some innocent blood, you
had better enact laws to brand these
fools and scoundrels, and crop their
ears and Danish them to Africa. If the
country will turn over all these crimi-
nals that they are burning. hanging
and shooting to me, and brand their
cheeks and carry them to Africa, 1 will
give the world another Rome, or estab-
fish a country like Australia, which
was founded and built up by the Eng
fish cut-throats and penal convicts."

writing 1000 Miles Away.

Arthur Goodrich in the Worlds Work.
A machine that will convey a mes
sage in the writing of the sender, so
that the receiver reads as fast as the
sender writes even though they be sep-
arated hundreds of miles, would cer-
tainly fill distinct and valuable field.
And the perfected "telautograph" is
simple of construction and apparently
durable. A common pencil held by steel
rods. which have the appearance of am
old-time we'll sweep when at work, is
used to write the message, and by the
varying force of the current used in the
different positions the pencil takes in
writing the words drawing pen, held
in precisely similar manner, automat-
ically duplicates the writing at the re-
ceiver's end. The instant the pencil
Is pressed upon the writing surface
electrical connection is made and the
pen at the receiver is drawn down to
the paper. BY electricity. too. the pa
per is made to slide along into place for
a new message uniformly with the pa
per on the transmitting instrument.
The various uses TO which this thor
oughly practical machine can be put
are numerous and important. The other
day an order was telephoned to a
broker to buy block of a certain kind
OF stock. he did IL. the STOCK Tell ana
there was loss of $1,000. He sent a
bill to his customer. and the latter
fatty denied having ordered the stock
The broker could prove nothing, and
the $4,000 came out of his pocket If
the broker had received the order on a.
telautograph he would have had a
definite message and signature to fall
back upon. If a craftsman away from
home, say in Philadelphia, wants to
submit a rough drawing to his en-
ployer in New York he can save a day
over the mails. An instrument like
this should reduce train dispatchipg to
absolute accuracy. A mistake over the
wire when the message goes through
a number of hands is possible, and no
individual of the series can be blamed
with assurance, but If the dispatch is
received in the dispatcher's handwrit-
ing the whole matter becomes simple.
Nor would it be impossible for a man
away from home and office to sign
checks-for a man in Boston, for in
stance, to sign a check in New York.

one has said, whether your penholder

MAUD COLEMAN WOODS.
How she Became Famous ms thc
American Beauty.

Our dispatches of a day or two ago
Miss Maud Coleman Woods at Han
over, Va. The Baltimore Sun says of
her:
Miss Woods was a daughter of Capt.
Micajah Woods, of this city. who is
well known in politics and as a law
yer. Last December her portrait was
selected to typify North America on the
Official emblem of the Pan-American
Exposition at Buffalo. N. Y. At the
same time the portrait of Mrs. Nat
Goodwin, who Is known on the stage
as Maxine Elliott. was chosen to typi-
fly South America. Since her debut in
society, three years ago, Miss Woods
had been regarded as one of the best
types of fair Virginia women.
In 1898 she was appointed one of the
sponsors for Virginia at the Confed-
crate Veteran Reunion in Atlanta. Aft
err reaching that city a committee of
Confederate officers selected her as the
sponsor for the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia, one of the most coveted honors
that could be bestowed on a Southern
girl
Miss Woods is related to many of the
lRdulliH ldiiiiitc VI VII Slhl1 anu VI INC
South and West. Her mother was Ma
tilda Minor Morris. a niece of Col.
Lewis Minor Coleman, who resigned
his professorshp at the University of
Virginia to enter the Confederate Army
and fell at the head of his battalion of
artillery at the battle of Fredericks-
burg. The grandfather of Miss Woods
was a noted lawyer, Richard Morris.

speech at the Virginia convention of
1s29-30. Her father entered the Con-
federate service at the beginning of
the war, although he was a youth of
but II years, beginning as a volunteer
on the staff of Gen. John b. Floyd.
He served also as lieutenant In Jack
sons Battery Of Horse Artillery. In
1898 he was appointed brigadier gem
eral to command the Second Brigade of
the Virginia Division, United Confed-
crate Veterans.
Soon after Miss Woods was selected
last December to represent North
America on the emblem of the Pan
American Exposition a reporter of the
Richmond Times went to Charlottes-
willie TO interview her. He wrote
When a representative of the Times
called upon Miss Woods this morning
at her residence on High street. Char
lottesville, and inquired If she had
anything to say in regard to the Sc
lection of herself 10 represent North
America on the Pan-American em-
blem. she said:
Nothing, except to emphasize the
statement that was much surprised
to learn of the action of the commit
tee. l knew nothing of the contest UNI
til it's close. and of course. was in ig-
norance of the fact that my photograph
was even among those considered by
the committee"
Yes she was proud of the honor
proud for her state and section" but
there was in Miss Woods words and
manner a noticeable absence of per-
sonal pride, gentle shrinking from
the publicity which had been forced
upon her, and genuine surprise that
she should have been considered wor-
thy OF such a distinction.
There is a pretty little story con-
nected with the manner In which the
committee came into possession of Miss
Woods photograph. In the summer OF
1898 Mr.. Alexander Black of New York,

mitted 10 Abridged Electorate.
Richmond Va, Aug. 27.-The Con-
stitutional Convention to-day contin-
ued it's discussion in committee of the
whole of the committee report on the
preamble and bill of rights.
Mr.. Withers offered an ordinance
providing for the principles of the en-
ployers liability bill
Mr.. Barber of Culpepper made an ex-
haustive argument in favor of submit
ting the new constitution to an
abridged electorate. He was followed
by Mr.. Resell, who spoke in favor of
submitting the work of the convention
to the present electorate.
The contingent fund report was CIV
en- to the public to-day. Accompanying
the report was a statement showing
the special appropriations made by the
Legislature for repairing and furnish
ing the governors mansion, the total
being $85,000 in fourteen years.
The report contains a statement of
the amount paid out of the contingent
fund each year since 1881. There is
nothing sensational in any of the ac-
counts. 1t looks as If the governors
had expended pretty much all of the
contingent fund allowed them.

AGAINST NATIONAL BANKS.
Government Is Suing for Recovery
on False Pension Claims.

on False Pension Claims.
Boston, Aug. 27-Acting under in
structions from the Treasury Depart
ment, Assistant United States District
Attorney ]. H. Casey to-day brought
suit in the Circuit Court against six
national banks of this city to recover
on pension checks taken by them for
collection.
The sums for which the banks are
sued range from $1,000 down a sliding
scale. The allegation is that the banks
have paid fraudulent pension vouchers,
after having drawn upon the sub
treasury in this city for the amount.
The suits are the outcome CT the ar
rest and conviction of w. A. Munson,
who died recently in the Rhode Island
state prison.
Munson was sentenced to ten years
for unlawfully making false certifi-
Gates on pension vouchers and for
fraudulent Endorsements. AS the coll
lections were made through Eoston
banks, the United States government
decided to bring suit against them for
the recovery of the full amount.

London, Aug. 2S.-The editorial in
the Times to-day on the South African
situation reflects the cold fit which
has followed the optimistic hopes as to
the effect of Lord Kfchener's procla-
nation. Commenting upon the meagre
news from the front, the Times says:
ut is quite clear that If we want
an end of the war we must strike hard.
ProcIamations and block houses are
very well, and may be useful, but the
experience of the Spaniards has shown
that the most sonorous proclamation
is of little good without plenty of men
and horses.
Everything depends upon vigor and
persistence in pushing the Beers in the
